"text": "Beginner's Guide to Perler Beads Beads Introduction to fuse beads Perler beads (as known as Hama beads or Nabbi beads) are plastic fusible beads. These colorful beads are usually arranged on plastic pegboards to form patterns and then fused together with a clothes iron. They can also be strung into necklaces, woven into keychains, or even assembled into three-dimensional decors. Crafting Perler beads is a fun and inexpensive art form that inspires creativity. It can also help young children develop hand-eye coordination skills and learn color names and basic counting. Bead brands The top fuse beads brand is Perler in the United States and Hama in other countries. Perler beads work really well with Hama's Midi beads as they are of the same size and material. ( Do not mix Perler/Hama beads with cheap generic brands found in stores such as Walmart. They don't melt consistently. ) Bead material Fuse beads are made of low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a food-grade plastic."

"text": "Easy Activities for Precision in Fine Motor Skills Kids and fine motor skills go hand-in-hand. ( That is my funny-OT attempt at a fine motor skills joke!) But really, fine motor skills are a staple of a child's development and are essential to function. Precision in grasp, manipulation, and release of small objects makes the difference between fumbling with zippers and buttons and efficiently grading movements in very small dexterity patterns like threading a string through a needle (kid-friendly, of course! ) This post is part of my 31 Days of Occupational Therapy series where you can find 30 more ideas like this one with easy treatment materials. What is precision of grasp and release? This post contains affiliate links. First, it's important to note that a child's ultra fine motor dexterity is dependent on bigger things. And by that, I mean that for a child to use their hands super fine motor tasks, they first must demonstrate strength and control of their core, shoulder, and arm. If any of these areas are not fully developed in stability or control, then the child will show compensatory strategies as they try to use their hands in handwriting or cutting with scissors."

"text": "\"Jewelry Making The Best String for Necklaces By Tammy Powley Updated 10/23/17Share Pin Email Westend61 / Getty Images One of the most often asked questions I receive from beginning beaders is what type of cord or string they should be uses to string their beads. Of course, it would be nice to be able to tell them to use string \"\"X.\"\" But, of course, there are many different types of stringing media on the market. So, to decide which string to use, you need to consider what you're stringing. And, in my opinion, there is no one type of string or cord that can do it all. Here is a list of some (and by no means all) of the stringing media now available and what type of beads work best with it. Silk A well-known classic for bead stringing, silk thread is most often used for pearls. Some beaders also like to use it with stone beads. Personally, I rarely use silk because I find that it frays easily. However, I know a few people who do pearl bead stringing for a little extra cash, and they use silk exclusively for their pearls. Obviously, silk is a higher quality thread than nylon."

"text": "\"Articles: Bindu OM Yoga Sutras Kundalini Karma CDs Mala Beads from Amazon.com Meaning of 108 beads on a malaby Swami Jnaneshvara Bharati Homepage On a mala, or set of mantra counting beads, there are generally 108 beads, or some fraction of that number. The question often arises: Why are there 108 beads on a mala? Below are some of the many reasons that have been given for having 108 beads on a mala, as well as a few other points of interest. None of these reasons are being promoted here as more or less true than the others. However, you may notice that 108 appears to be somewhat like a road map of reality in general, and the human in particular. Regardless of the meaning of 108, it is important that if a mala is used to count mantras, the mantra be remembered with sincerity, devotion, feeling, and full attention. ( More on use of mantras)9 times 12: Both of these numbers have been said to have spiritual significance in many traditions. 9 times 12 is 108. Also, 1 plus 8 equals 9. That 9 times 12 equals 108."

"text": "Movies | Movie Review | 'Despicable Me'Lunar Toons and Cookie Capers Despicable Me Directed by Pierre Coffin, Chris Renaud Animation, Comedy, Family 1h 35m By A. O. SCOTT JULY 8, 2010The supervillain Gru reads to Agnes in “Despicable Me. ”Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment Is there a meaningful distinction to be drawn between exercising the imagination and just making up a bunch of stuff? When it comes to children at play, probably not: the pleasure of inventiveness matters more than the quality of the particular inventions. But children’s entertainment, made by grown-ups at great expense in anticipation of even greater profit, is another matter. The difference between inspired creation and frantic pretending is the difference between magic and mediocrity, between art and junk, or to cite a conveniently available example, between “Toy Story 3” and “Despicable Me. ”Directed by Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud and produced by Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment a new player in the lucrative and competitive world of feature animation “Despicable Me” cannot be faulted for lack of trying. If anything, it tries much too hard, stuffing great gobs of second-rate action, secondhand humor and warmed-over sentiment into every nook and cranny of its relentlessly busy 3-D frames. The movie relies on the funny voices of popular television and movie performers (many of them associated with other properties in the NBC Universal corporate family), most notably Steve Carell, who whimsically adopts a quasi-Russian accent in the role of Gru, a supervillain. Gru is equipped with a disapproving, emotionally distant mother (Julie Andrews); a wisecracking nemesis named Vector (Jason Segel); a grouchy old scientist sidekick (Russell Brand); and a swarm of cute little yellow minions, whose mostly nonverbal chirping and squeaking provide a heavy, derivative dollop of cuteness and merchandising opportunity. And just in case those industrious little doodads (they look like extra-strength pain-reliever capsules with eyes and limbs) weren’t cute enough, the film supplies three adorable orphans with old-lady names who melt Gru’s stony heart not long after he adopts them."

Beads Aurora Borealis (A B) – Named for the Northern Lights. In costume jewelry, a term for crystal stones that have a highly iridescent surface. The effect is achieved by vapor blasting the facets of the lower part of the crystals with an invisible, micro thin metal sheet. This stone was created by Swarovski® in 1955 in collaboration with Christian Dior. Also known as AB, the term now refers to any iridescent finish. Tin Cut – See Fire-Polished Murano – These beads are made of glass and are also called millifiori (thousand flowers), Venetian or lampwork glass beads.

"text": "\"45+ Quick & Easy Kids Crafts that ANYONE Can Make!Pin Share Tweet +1 Stumble One of the #1 things that people often say to me is, “I would love to make creative projects with my kids, but I’m just not crafty. I don’t even know where to start!” My reply is always, “Trust me…you do NOT need to consider yourself ‘crafty’ to start getting creative with your children!” There are hundreds upon hundreds of craft projects that you can make with your children that require NO special skills or tools and that take less than half an hour of your time. In fact, most of these 45 quick and easy kids craft project ideas that I’ve rounded up here take less than FIFTEEN minutes to make!A recent study by Dr. Richard Rende revealed that creative interaction between parents and young children engaging in activities like arts and crafts not only provides immediate and lasting cognitive benefits, but also creates a unique bonding experience, which creates lifelong memories. Taking time to be creative with your children is a topic that I am incredibly passionate about. I know firsthand the benefits that children reap when they are exposed to arts and crafts activities, and in an age where arts are in a decline in the school systems, it is even more important than ever for parents to take the initiative to introduce art activities to their children. Other key findings of Dr. Rende’s study showed that:• Arts and crafts engage multiple brain areas simultaneously andimprove bilateral coordination between the left and right sides ofthe brain, leading to immediate and future cognitive development.• Activities like arts and crafts accelerate the development of musclesin the hands and fingers, improving fine motor skills that areessential for school success in the earliest formal years.• Face-to-face interaction in the early years is critical for optimalsocial development.• Arts and crafts promote rich social interactions that help developlanguage skills and social cognitive abilities like understandingemotions.• Creative activities are a great way to bond with children and createlasting memories. Nearly 90% of the parents surveyed for the study said that they would like to spend more time creating arts and crafts with their children, but they didn’t know where to start or how to carve out the time needed. With this list of quick and simple crafts, I’m hoping that I can show you that there is always time to bond and spend creative time together."

Click any image to enlarge it. Steps1 Learn a bit of terminology. Warp Thread: The long, strong thread running over the loom Weft Thread: The thread you string the beads onto and then weave under and over the warp thread, creating the weft thread Dowel: The round wooden stick at either end of the loom.2 Learn the differences between normal bead weaving and seed bead weaving. In particular, Be careful not to split the thread with the needle as you work your way across the warp, as you will then not be able to pull your warp thread through the weft thread.3 Warp the loom for seed bead weaving. Tie one end of the thread onto the pin on the dowel.4 String the loom so that you can slip the thread off the dowel holder without clipping all the threads. Pull the thread over the top of the loom and wind around the pin on the other dowel. Make sure that the thread ends up in the groves on the top of your loom, such that the thread is straight as possible. Pull the thread over the loom and then wind it under the pin and over the top of the loom again."

Noonan Prairie dogs are members of the squirrel family that live in complex burrow systems in the plains of North America. Thousands of prairie dogs can live in one “town”, with each town covering hundreds of acres of land beneath the earth’s surface. Each town is then divided into many coteries, or smaller groups of several females defended by a single male. The towns are located in short-grass prairies, usually avoiding areas with a lot of vegetation or tall grass. They will often even trim the grass surrounding their colony, presumably to increase visibility and aid in protection from predators. When a predator is spotted, prairie dogs use high-pitched barking calls to communicate with one another, warning others of the nearby danger. Prairie dogs eat grass, leaves and roots surrounding their town. They do not drink because they get all of the water they need from the plants. This is an important adaptation because the prairie can be a very dry place. While in the Midwest, we came across many prairie dog towns."

As captive pets, it is essential to feed a diet that approximates what they eat in the wild in order to prevent dietary-related diseases such as obesity, malnutrition, and gastrointestinal disorders, which are among the more common health disorders in captive prairie dogs. \"\" Similar to rabbits, prairie dogs require a diet high in fiber. \"\" Similar to rabbits, prairie dogs require a diet high in fiber. Also like rabbits, prairie dogs are \"\"hindgut fermenters\"\", which means that the digestion of their food occurs by bacterial fermentation in the lower intestines, and which also means that they require a large amount of dietary roughage. Obesity is a common problem in pet prairie dogs due to improper diet and lack of exercise. Feeding mainly timothy or other grass hay, is essential. Avoid feeding large amounts of the richer alfalfa hay, except in the young, growing animal Timothy rabbit pellets or rodent chow (1-2 blocks per week) may be offered in small amounts to the young prairie dog, decreasing or even eliminating this after 1 year of age. Fresh vegetables (especially a VARIETY of dark green leafy vegetables such as parsley, cilantro, kale, collard greens, bok choy, clover, dandelion, carrot tops) should be offered."

"text": "Prairie dogs are burrowing rodents that live in the grasslands of western North America. Adults stand about 12 inches (30 centimeters) tall and weigh about one to three pounds (454 to 1,362 grams). They feed on grasses, other plants, and occasionally insects from dawn until dusk and sleep in their burrows at night. Prairie dogs are actually related to squirrels: early explorers thought their alarm calls sounded like a dog’s bark, hence their name. Scientists recognize five different species of prairie dogs: black-tailed, Gunnison’s, Utah, white-tailed, and Mexican. Four of the species live in western states such as Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming; the fifth lives in Mexico. Prairie dogs live in large colonies that are also called towns or villages. Undisturbed colonies have thousands of residents and extend for miles in all directions. Within colonies, prairie dogs live in family groups called coteries. Each coterie defends a home territory of about one acre (.40 hectare) from surrounding coteries."

"text": "\"Understanding The Differences Voles, moles and gophers (including groundhogs, pocket gophers and prairie dogs) are often lumped together in discussions regarding wildlife problems that result in torn up, damaged landscaping. This is because all 3 utilize tunnel systems and cause damage to plants, roots and beautiful lawns. Outside this similarity, they are very unique from each other. Once problems start to occur, it can be difficult for property owners to identify which kind of burrowing wildlife is creating havoc around their property. For successful resolution of the problem, it will be important to correctly identify what species is causing the issues. Different animals require different methods, if the correct methods are not utilized, the attempts to solve your wildlife issues will be unsuccessful. Crayfish Burrows Crayfish, also known as crawdads and lawn lobsters, are not rodents, they are not even mammals. Crayfish are a crustacean related to the lobster. We thought it was important to mention them here because they will dig holes in the ground that are often mistaken for gophers, rats, snakes and other wildlife. So knowing how to identify a crawdad hole will help you know when to rule out other animals as the cause."

Two prairie dogs recognize each other by touching their front teeth together. Prairie dogs are highly sociable animals.

Burrows are much like homes possessing front and back doors, listening chambers, sleeping quarters and storage rooms. They are regular house cleaners too.

Answer by Susie Dresh Confidence votes 23.7KThe black footed ferret protects itself by spending most of the time underground in its home or prairie dog burrows and usually only comes out at night. The black-footed ferret is very secretive and is nocturnal, so that few people have ever seen them in the wild. Most of its time is below ground in prairie dog burrows, and usually spends only a few minutes above ground each day for hunting or finding new burrows or mates. In burrows it sleeps, stores its food, avoids predators and harsh weather, and takes care of it's young. Their worst enemy is man, and they are losing that battle. As we plow more lands and kill prairie dogs, the ferrets begin to die because we cut off their main food source.

It is caused by Yersinia pestis, a gram-negative species of bacterium. Septicemic plague is a life-threatening infection of the blood, most commonly spread by bites from infected fleas. Like some other forms of gram-negative sepsis, septicemic plague can cause disseminated intravascular coagulation, and is almost always fatal when untreated (the mortality rate in medieval times was 99–100 percent). [ citation needed] However, it only occurs in a minority of cases of Yersinia infection, so that fewer than 5,000 people a year acquire the disease. It is the rarest of the three plague varieties; the other forms are bubonic and pneumonic plague.

Also, the above symptoms are common to many human illnesses, and are not considered diagnostic of any form of plague. Cause [ edit]Transmission [ edit]Human Yersinia infections most commonly result from the bite of an infected flea or occasionally an infected mammal, but like most bacterial systemic diseases, the disease may be transmitted through an opening in the skin or by inhaling infectious droplets of moisture from sneezes or coughs. In both cases septicemic plague need not be the result, and in particular, not the initial result, but it occasionally happens that bubonic plague for example leads to infection of the blood, and septicemic plague results."

Their legs are short and muscular, adapted for digging. The tail and other extremities are short. Their hair is rather coarse with little underfur, and is sandy brown to cinnamon in color with grizzled black and buff-colored tips. The belly is light cream to white. Five species of prairie dogs are found in North America: the black-tailed ( Cynomys ludovicianus ), Mexican ( C. mexicanus ), white-tailed ( C. leucurus ), Gunnison’s ( C. gunnisoni ), and Utah prairie dog ( C. parvidens ). The most abundant and widely distributed of these is the black-tailed prairie dog, which is named for its black-tipped tail. Adult black-tailed prairie dogs weigh 2 to 3 pounds (0.9 to 1.4 kg) and are 14 to 17 inches (36 to 43 cm) long."

[ 1] Such species are described as playing a critical role in maintaining the structure of an ecological community, affecting many other organisms in an ecosystem and helping to determine the types and numbers of various other species in the community. A keystone species is a plant or animal that plays a unique and crucial role in the way an ecosystem functions. Without keystone species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether. The role that a keystone species plays in its ecosystem is analogous to the role of a keystone in an arch. While the keystone is under the least pressure of any of the stones in an arch, the arch still collapses without it. Similarly, an ecosystem may experience a dramatic shift if a keystone species is removed, even though that species was a small part of the ecosystem by measures of biomass or productivity. It became a popular concept in conservation biology. [ 2] Although the concept is valued as a descriptor for particularly strong inter-species interactions, and it has allowed easier communication between ecologists and conservation policy-makers, it has been criticized for oversimplifying complex ecological systems.

This biome has some of the richest soil (in nutrients) in the world. Most people that live in this biome are farmers. The temperate grasslands in North America are called prairies. The major one in North America is called the Great Plain. Grasslands in Eurasia are called steppes. They are found in Ukraine and Russia. South America has grasslands called pampas. Pampas are located in Argentina and Uruguay."

"text": "\"PRAIRIE DOGRobin W. Doughty PRAIRIE DOG. The black-tailed prairie dog ( Cynomys ludovicianus) is the Texas representative of five species of stout, short-legged, short-tailed terrestrial squirrels that occur in the western states of North America. The name prairie dog derives from the barks or yipping calls of this sociable, diurnal rodent whose yellow-grey or buffy appearance and noisy, active presence relieved the monotony of traveling over the short-grass plains in the nineteenth century. Adult prairie dogs weigh two to three pounds (1–2kg) and become sexually mature in their second year. They produce one litter with an average of four or five young in the spring or summer. The young first appear above ground at about six weeks of age. Prairie dogs eat low-growing grasses, weeds, some prickly pear, and, occasionally, animal matter, mainly worms. In August 1841 George Wilkins Kendall came upon a \"\"commonwealth\"\" of prairie dogs whose \"\"mercurial and excitable denizens\"\" provided some sustenance for the famished and disoriented members of the Texan Santa Fe expedition, which had started north of Austin two months earlier. He admired the \"\"wild, frolicsome, madcap set of fellows...ever on the move...chattering away the time, and visiting from hole to hole to gossip and talk over each others affairs.\"\" Kendall was referring to the socially integrated activities of these animals, which include mutual nuzzling, grooming, and \"\"barking\"\" to express territorial claims."

S. \"\"in the nature of a compact \"\", but according to a President's Task Force report, Puerto Rico is an unincorporated organized territory of the United States, subject to the plenary powers of the United States Congress and with the \"\"right to establish a constitution for the internal administration of government and on matters of purely local concern\"\".

The first comprehensive book on the history of Puerto Rico was written by Fray Iñigo Abbad y Lasierra in 1786, 293 years after the first Spaniards arrived on the island. [ 3]The first indigenous settlers of Puerto Rico were the Ortoiroid, an Archaic age culture. An archeological dig in the island of Vieques in 1990 found the remains of what is believed to be an Arcaico (Archaic) man (named Puerto Ferro man) which was dated to around 2000 BC (4000 years ago).

There are about 1,000 people per square mile, a ratio higher than within any of the 50 states in the United States. On August 2012, the number of Puerto Ricans on the U. S. mainland reached a record - 4.9 million. Had these people remained in Puerto Rico, the island would be so densely populated that there would be virtually no room for people to live. Because of the massive migration to the mainland, more Puerto Ricans are said to live in New York City than in San Juan. On March 27, 2014 the U. S. Census Bureau announced that the island's total population fell from about 3.7 million in 2010 to 3.6 million in 2013. The government stated that more than 450,000 people have left the island in the past decade. The majority are settling in U. S. states including New York and Florida. On the island, one-third of the population is concentrated in the San Juan-Carolina-Bayamón metropolitan area. The largest city is San Juan, the island's capital."

Over 90% of Puerto Ricans descend from migrants from these two southern regions of Spain. Puerto Rico has also been influenced by African culture, Afro-Puerto Ricans being a significant minority. Puerto Rico has also received immigration from other parts of Spain such as Catalonia as well as from other European countries such as France, Ireland, Italy and Germany. Recent studies in population genetics have concluded that Puerto Rican gene pool is on average predominantly European, with a significant Sub-Saharan African, Guanche and Indigenous American substrate, the latter two originating in the aboriginal people of the Canary Islands and Puerto Rico's pre-Hispanic Taíno inhabitants, respectively. [ 17] [18] [19] [20]The population of Puerto Ricans and descendants is estimated to be between 8 and 10 million worldwide, with most living on the islands of Puerto Rico and in the United States mainland."

"text": "Mexican Spanish vs Puerto Rican Spanish: 101 Spanish Words I Learned Watching El Chavo del 8You wouldn’t think that a Spanish-speaking girl, watching a television program in Spanish would learn more Spanish. At the time I didn’t realize that watching El Chavo del 8 would expand my Spanish vocabulary and make me understand that there were regional or country differences within the same language. In this case I am talking about Mexican Spanish. El Chavo del 8 was one of the most popular television family programs in Latin America. This Mexican sitcom was created by comedian Chespirito (real name Roberto Gómez Bolaños) on June 20th, 1971 for his own show (watch the very first episode here ), and in 1973 became a separate program that continued until 1980. The proclaimed programa número uno de la televisión humorística (the number one comedy program in television) was staged in a Mexico City neighborhood or vecindad where kids get in trouble while adult neighbors deal with their daily issues. El Chavo, la Chilindrina and Quico were kids that always appeared in each episode; sometimes Ñoño and la Popis joined the crowd. The adults of this comedy were Don Ramón, Doña Florinda, el Profesor Jirafales, el Señor Barriga, and la Bruja del 71, the solterona or old maid who’s “real” name was Doña Cleotilde. All these characters were played by adult people and it was incredible how they created the illusion that some of them were 8-year old kids and others no. In Puerto Rico, El Chavo del 8 was also well recognized."

Adults used Spanish mostly to share secrets or express frustration. So I hate the Spanish question. But it turns out my penchant for English isn't unique for a mainland Puerto Rican, according to a survey of American Latinos by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard School of Public Health. Given a choice between answering a gamut of questions about their lives in Spanish or in English, 78 percent of the Puerto Rican respondents chose English, significantly more than any other Latino group. According to the poll, only 20 percent of Puerto Ricans speak Spanish at home, less than half the percentage for respondents overall. ("

"text": "The Federal Income Taxes Puerto Ricans Pay Posted November 30, 2012Unequal treatment of Puerto Rico under federal law has frequently been justified on the grounds that Puerto Ricans do not pay federal income tax on Puerto Rican based income. As we’ve stated in previous posts, this argument becomes unconvincing when half of all U. S. citizens have no federal income tax obligations. But there is another reason to question the unfairness—and often total exclusion—of Puerto Rico’s treatment in federal laws: it turns out that Puerto Ricans are contributors to our nation’s bottom line. In 2011, Puerto Ricans contributed $3.3 billion to the United States Treasury, approximately as much as Vermont. In past years, Puerto Rico’s liability has exceeded Vermont’s. In 2010, for example, Vermont’s tax liability was only $3.2 billion, while Puerto Rico’s was nearly $3.6 billion. Puerto Ricans are required to pay federal income taxes on income from federal sources outside of Puerto Rico; otherwise they are exempt from federal income taxes. The wages of Puerto Rican federal judges and other federal workers is fully taxable, for example, as is investment income from U. S. sources, such as dividends from investments of companies located in the fifty states. All employers and employees in Puerto Rice are still subject to payroll taxes as imposed by the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA), including Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment taxes. The Social Security and Medicare taxes are withheld from Puerto Ricans’ paychecks just as they are for workers living within the rest of the United States."

"text": "News More Puerto Ricans Identify Themselves as Indian, According to Latest Census More Puerto Ricans Identify Themselves as Indian, According to Latest Census Rick Kearns • April 16, 2011Close to 20,000 people in Puerto Rico identified themselves as “American Indian” in the 2010 U. S. Census report, a 49 percent increase in the number of island Puerto Ricans to do so. In 2000, the number was 13,336 and there is some agreement over the meaning of this increase, but the conversations are just beginning. Some Boricuas on the island are seeing this reporting as yet another reflection of a growing awareness of the indigenous root or Taino aspect of Puerto Rican identity – more and more people are joining Taino organizations and attending Taino-related celebrations. Others are seeing it as also a signal that Puerto Ricans are asserting their own identity, separate from the influences of first the Spanish and then U. S. colonizers. Still other observers have not finished interpreting the meaning of the figures but at least one scholar is noting that the 2010 Census report marks the first time that the number of Puerto Ricans who identify themselves as white has decreased. For activists like Roger Guayakan Hernandez, Director of the United Confederation of Taino People’s (UCTP) Borikén (the original Taino name for the island) Liaison Office, the increase in the census count can be attributed to expansion of information and communications technologies available today. “We have always been here but recently there has been an explosion of pertinent information regarding Borikén’s indigenous heritage. The difference is that now there are more ways to get the information to the people,” stated Hernandez. Hernandez noted that the Confederation, an official Census partner, used the increased focus on Taino heritage as well as new technologies like social networks in its campaign to raise awareness about the census process. The UCTP was founded in 1998 and seeks to “protect, defend, and preserve the Taino cultural heritage and spiritual tradition” according to it’s website, and has members in Puerto Rico, the U. S. and other countries."

( Official colors of the flag)The flag of Puerto Rico represents and symbolizes the island of Puerto Rico and its people. The origins of the current flag of Puerto Rico, adopted by the commonwealth of Puerto Rico in 1952, can be traced to 1868, when the first Puerto Rican flag, \"\"The Revolutionary Flag of Lares\"\", was conceived by Dr. Ramón Emeterio Betances and embroidered by Mariana \"\"Brazos de Oro\"\" Bracetti. This flag was used in the short-lived Puerto Rican revolt against Spanish rule in the island, known as \"\"El Grito de Lares\"\". [ 1] [2]Juan de Mata Terreforte, an exiled veteran of \"\"El Grito de Lares\"\" and Vice-President of the Cuban Revolutionary Committee, in New York City, adopted the flag of Lares as the flag of Puerto Rico until 1895, when the current design, modeled after the Cuban flag, was unveiled and adopted by the 59 Puerto Rican exiles of the Cuban Revolutionary committee. [ 3] The new flag, which consisted of five equal horizontal bands of red (top and bottom) alternating with white; a blue isosceles triangle based on the hoist side bears a large, white, five-pointed star in the center, was first flown in Puerto Rico on March 24, 1897, during the \"\" Intentona de Yauco \"\" revolt. The use and display of the Puerto Rican flag was outlawed and the only flags permitted to be flown in Puerto Rico were the Spanish flag (1492 to 1898) and the flag of the United States (1898 to 1952). In 1952, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico adopted the same flag design, which was unveiled in 1895 by the Puerto Rican exiles within the Cuban Revolutionary Committee, as its official standard. The color of the triangle that was used by the administration of Luis Muñoz Marín was the dark blue. [ 4] In 1995, the government of Puerto Rico issued a regulation regarding the use of the Puerto Rican flag titled: \"\"Reglamento sobre el Uso en Puerto Rico de la Bandera del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico\"\", in which the government specifies the colors to be used but does not specify any official color tones or shades."

S. rule, 1898-present Topics: Economic - Military - Political - Social Puerto Rico portalv t e Map of the departments of Puerto Rico during Spanish provincial times (1886)The history of Puerto Rico began with the settlement of the archipelago of Puerto Rico by the Ortoiroid people between 3,000 and 2,000 BC. Other tribes, such as the Saladoid and Arawak Indians, populated the island between 430 BC and 1000 AD. At the time of Christopher Columbus 's arrival in the New World in 1492, the dominant indigenous culture was that of the Taínos. The Taíno people's numbers went dangerously low during the later half of the 16th century because of new infectious diseases carried by Europeans, exploitation by Spanish settlers, and warfare. [ citation needed]Located in the northeastern Caribbean, Puerto Rico formed a key part of the Spanish Empire from the early years of the exploration, conquest and colonization of the New World. The island was a major military post during many wars between Spain and other European powers for control of the region in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The smallest of the Greater Antilles, Puerto Rico was a stepping-stone in the passage from Europe to Cuba, Mexico, Central America, and the northern territories of South America."

The parade is held on the second Sunday in June, in honor of the nearly four million inhabitants of Puerto Rico and all people of Puerto Rican birth or heritage residing in the mainland U. S. The parade attracts many celebrities, both Puerto Rican and of Puerto Rican heritage, and many politicians from the Tri-State area. The parade marches along Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 86th Street and has grown to become one of the largest parades in New York City, with nearly two million spectators annually making it one of the largest outdoor events in the United States.

For instance, if a recipe calls for Gold Puerto Rican rum, what sorts of rums will fit the bill? Similarly, if a recipe calls for something specific that you may not have on hand, such as Appleton VX, what can be used in its place? This is not an exhaustive list though I endeavor to update it as I try new rums. This general information is also available via Beachbum Berry's books, and other locations online. Silver Puerto Rican rum The clear sibling of Gold Puerto Rican Rum, silver Puerto Rican rum ( discussed in E2 of 5 Minutes of Rum) is also a Spanish (or Cuban) style rum. And like the gold, it's typically a relatively dry, column-distilled rum with some amount of aging. I typically use Don Q Cristal or Cruzan Aged rum. Bacardi Superior is the market leader in this category, but there are several well-regarded options available. Cruzan Aged (US Virgin Islands)Don Q Cristal (Puerto Rico)Flor de Caña 4 Extra Dry (Nicaragua)Montanya Plantino Light Rum (US)Ron Matusalem Plantino (Dominican Republic)Cana Brava (Panama)Gold Puerto Rican rum Like it says on the tin, amber colored rum from Puerto Rico, therefore a Spanish (or Cuban) style rum, such as Bacardi Gold or Don Q Añejo."

The head of government is an elected Governor. There are two legislative chambers: the House of Representatives, 51 seats, and the Senate, 27 seats. Puerto Rico has authority over its internal affairs. United States controls: interstate trade, foreign relations and commerce, customs administration, control of air, land and sea, immigration and emigration, nationality and citizenship, currency, maritime laws, military service, military bases, army, navy and air force, declaration of war, constitutionality of laws, jurisdictions and legal procedures, treaties, radio and television--communications, agriculture, mining and minerals, highways, postal system; Social Security, and other areas generally controlled by the federal government in the United States. Puerto Rican institutions control internal affairs unless U. S. law is involved, as in matters of public health and pollution. The major differences between Puerto Rico and the 50 states are exemption from some aspects of the Internal Revenue Code, its lack of voting representation in either house of the U. S. Congress (Senate and House of Representatives), the ineligibility of Puerto Ricans residing on the island to vote in presidential elections, and its lack of assignation of some revenues reserved for the states. Executive The Executive Power is exercised by the Governor, who leads a cabinet conformed by the heads of the commonwealth's executive departments, who in turn must be ratified by the Legislature. The Governor is elected by popular vote for a four-year term (no term limits), which begins on the second day of January after the year of his election and ends on the date his successor takes office."

One of the consequences of the Spanish–American War was that Puerto Rico was annexed by the United States in accordance with the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898, ratified on December 10, 1898. On January 15, 1899, the military government changed the name of Puerto Rico to Porto Rico (On May 17, 1932, the U. S. Congress changed the name back to \"\"Puerto Rico\"\").

Citizenship was imposed upon Puerto Ricans as a result of the 1917 Jones–Shafroth Act (the Puerto Rican House of Delegates rejected US citizenship) and were expected to serve in the military. [ 3] Puerto Ricans who resided in the island were assigned to the \"\"Porto Rico Provisional Regiment of Infantry,\"\" organized on June 30, 1901.

[ 4]Those who resided in the mainland served in regular units of one of the following branches of the United States military, the United States Marine Corps, Army or the Navy. As such, they were assigned to regular military units; however, Puerto Ricans of African descent were assigned to segregated all-black units and were subject to the discrimination which was rampant in the U.

Sanchez Valle, December 2015: “The Executive Branch has recognized that Puerto Rico remains a U. S. territory subject to Congress’s authority. A 1994 Office of Legal Counsel opinion explained that Congress may not create a sovereign territory consistent with the Constitution, and since then, the Department of Justice has repeatedly stated the same view to Congress in connection with proposed legislation about Puerto Rico. Presidential task force reports in 2005, 2007, and 2011 have likewise confirmed that Puerto Rico is not a sovereign and that it could become one only if it were to attain statehood or become an independent nation.” Read more on the case.

When “commonwealth” is used to describe the substantial political autonomy enjoyed by Puerto Rico, the term appropriately captures Puerto Rico’s special relationship with the United States. The commonwealth system does not, however, describe a legal status different from Puerto Rico’s constitutional status as a “territory” subject to congress’s plenary authority under the Territory clause “to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory … belonging to the united States.” Congress may continue the current commonwealth system indefinitely, but it necessarily retains the constitutional authority to revise or revoke the powers of self-government currently exercised by the government of Puerto Rico."

There are no studies that show how Seroquel will affect pregnancy but there are some ideas of what could happen. Seroquel is a Category C Drug The FDA classifies medications for pregnant women to help them make the best choices for their children. Seroquel is a category C medication which means that it hasn’t been tested on pregnant women but there have been animal trials that show a negative effect on the offspring. A category C medication can be given to women who are pregnant if both she and her doctor decide that the benefits outweigh the risks. What the Trials Showed The offspring that were born during the Seroquel trials on pregnant rats and rabbits demonstrated low birth weight as well as slowed development. There was also an increase in miscarriages in the animals receiving Seroquel during pregnancy. It is important to note that results in animals and in humans may vary.

Show More Uses Uses This medication is used to treat certain mental/mood conditions (such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, sudden episodes of mania or depression associated with bipolar disorder ). It is also used with other medications to treat depression. Quetiapine is known as an anti-psychotic drug (atypical type). It works by helping to restore the balance of certain natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain. This medication can decrease hallucinations and improve your concentration. It helps you to think more clearly and positively about yourself, feel less nervous, and take a more active part in everyday life. It may also improve your mood, sleep, appetite, and energy level. Quetiapine can help prevent severe mood swings or decrease how often mood swings occur. How to use Seroquel XRRead the Medication Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using quetiapine and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist."

Share Pin Reddit Stumble Email1.4KSeroquel (Quetiapine) is a short-acting atypical anitpsychotic drug that is primarily used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In some cases it is also used as an antidepressant augmentation strategy to treat major depression. It is sometimes used to help manage Alzheimer’s disease and is used at low doses for the treatment of insomnia. Despite the fact that this medication has a variety of uses, it should really only be used for its intended purpose – to treat schizophrenia and possibly bipolar disorder. Many people take it and it works great to help people manage the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. It also helps prevent major mood swings among individuals with bipolar disorder. With that said, not everyone responds well to this drug – in some cases the side effects become unbearable. Additionally, for some individuals this drug doesn’t work well enough to justify continued usage. Although this is a drug that can be beneficial for some people, the long term effects are not very promising."

This drug is able to lessen or block brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine. It can be used to treat both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder by altering the brain’s chemistry. Seroquel (quetiapine) should only be used for bipolar patients who are 10 years of age or older and schizophrenia patients who are over the age of 13. Extended-release Seoquel XR is intended for adults over the age 18. Dosage for Seroquel varies based on the individual’s needs. In general, Seroquel for schizophrenia begins at a dose of 25 mg and is gradually increased to 800 mg. For bipolar disorder, dosage begins at 50 mg and increases gradually to 300 or 400 mg. The doctor and patient work very closely in determining the most effect dose."

"text": "\"Serpentine Belt Labor Costs Share this with a friend Follow us on Facebook Tweet By Aaron Turpen, Thu, August 09, 2012The serpentine belt (aka \"\"accessory belt\"\") on a vehicle is one of the routine maintenance requirements that can't be ignored. The belt typically runs from the engine's crank shaft pulley and around pulleys attached to accessories such as the power steering pump, alternator, air conditioning compressor, etc. Some vehicles have one belt that runs around all of these, others have two. Most auto manufacturers recommend that the serpentine belt be checked at every oil change interval and replaced if any wear or fraying shows - or at about 10,000 miles, depending on the vehicle in question. The cost to replace a serpentine belt varies greatly from area to area, state to state, or region to region. A replacement in Queens, New York, for example, might cost $240 while one in Cheyenne, Wyoming might run only $75. The type and complexity of the vehicle will also make a difference, of course. Despite these costs, most auto repair enthusiasts can change a serpentine themselves. With the guidance of a good manual and belt diagram, most DIY mechanics can do the job on a typical 4, 6 or 8 cylinder engine in half an hour to an hour. The job is usually done simply by loosening one of the accessories (often the A/C pump or alternator, which are typically on \"\"top\"\" of the engine) or by loosening a tensioner pulley (more common on larger engines)."

There's no real way to judge but the general rule of thumb is once cracks start to appear, it's time to change the belt. That being said, I've run them a very long time after cracks started showing and gotten by with it. I guess I got lucky. On the other hand, if the belt were to break at speed (like in highway driving), it could thrash around a bit and tear a few things up under the hood (the radiator could possibly be one of those things) and end up causing a lot more expense than just replacing a belt would........not to mention being broke down along the highway.

Well, it won’t keep your pants up, but it does transport power to your vital automotive components. The serpentine belt is one long, snaking, winding belt that keeps your alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning and — in some cases — your water pump running smoothly and effectively. Didn’t cars used to have more than one belt? Back in the day, cars had individual belts for many components. Though each belt could be replaced individually, these cars experienced inconsistent or compromised performance as individual belts began to wear down. Now that vehicles employ a single belt – the serpentine belt – that’s no longer an issue. That said, it’s critical that regular inspections are done to make sure the belt is in good shape. How often does a serpentine belt need to be replaced? Serpentine belts are built to last – much longer than before because of advancements in rubber technology."

Most V8 and later 6-cylinder models have an auto-adjusting belt tensioner system. The manufacturer recommends checking the serpentine belt every 7,500 miles or 6 months for potential replacement due to normal wear. Find the belt tensioner pulley. The tensioner pulley is generally between the crankshaft and a component toward the top of the hood area. Check the belt routing so you know how to replace the belt. You may be able to find a belt routing diagram on a decal on the fan shroud or in support documentation. Otherwise, make you own sketch for reference. Rotate the belt tensioner pulley, using the wrench, to and relieve tension on the belt. Slip off the old belt and slowly release the tensioner pulley."

"text": "\"Serpentine/Drive Belt Replacement Service & Cost What's a serpentine / drive belt? The serpentine/drive belt or v-belt is a rubber belt that connects the alternator, power steering, and AC to the part of the engine (crankshaft) which transfers the power from the engine to those components. Without this belt, the battery will not get charged and none of the electrical accessory components in the car will work. The serpentine belt and v-belt are also known as \"\"drive belts. \"\" Because of the high amount of heat in the engine, the belt can develop cracks over time and eventually break. If the belt breaks, the steering wheel will be difficult to turn and driving will be hazardous. In some cars, water pumps are driven by the drive belts. If the belt breaks, water and coolant needed to keep the engine cool will not properly flow to the engine. The engine will overheat, potentially causing severe damage. Keep this in mind about serpentine belts: A car will either have a serpentine belt (s) or v-belt (s)."

Not every engine has one, but those that do require replacement at a specific mileage or time interval. Timing belts offer a number of advantages, such as light weight and precise timing over their lives. The timing belt is also far less affected by lubrication problems than a chain or gear drive. Like any piece of rubber, a timing belt will deteriorate in time. To know if your engine has a timing belt, it is best to refer to the owner's manual or ask to a trusted professional. How timing belts work They design a timing belt with teeth that mesh with grooves in the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. This arrangement allows the timing belt to keep the camshaft and crankshaft in perfect time. Engineers normally provide a tensioner which keeps the timing belt tight."

A serpentine belt is a single belt used to drive the pulleys on the alternator, water pump, air conditioning compressor and power steering pump. It is called a \"\"serpentine belt\"\" because it snakes through and grips each different pulley so that only one belt is required.

"text": "Check Engine Light Service When your Check Engine light comes on — and stays on — come to Jiffy Lube®. On many vehicles the Check Engine light is triggered by a wide range of causes, some of them as simple as you’re overdue for an oil change. But it’s important to know what the issue is. Jiffy Lube Technicians will perform a diagnostic test which will help them recommend the right repair or service for your vehicle, if one is called for. And of course they can also reset the Check Engine light. Serpentine Belt Replacement & Service The serpentine belt is a single, continuous belt that drives multiple devices in your engine, such as the alternator, power steering pump, water pump and air conditioning compressor. If your serpentine belt breaks, all of these systems will shut down and your vehicle will overheat. A regular inspection and possible serpentine belt replacement from a Jiffy Lube® technician will allow all these vital systems keep you and your vehicle on the road. A symptom that indicates the serpentine belt may need replacing is an unfamiliar noise or screech from the engine compartment caused by a frayed, split or worn out belt. Jiffy Lube Technicians visually inspect the serpentine belt for fraying, splitting, glazing (the working edge of the belt becomes shiny from age and wear) or any other damage."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Cars & Vehicles American Cars Ford Ford Trucks and SUVs Ford Escape Ford Escape XLT How often do you change a serpentine belt? Flag How often do you change a serpentine belt? Answer by Auto Service Tech Confidence votes 537You only need to replace any belt when it is worn past its useful life. Look for signs of cracking across the width of the belt on the \"\"grooved\"\" side, as well as any signs of fraying along its edges. It should also be replaced if contaminated with fluid, like oil, antifreeze, etc. Hope this helps you! Most cars and trucks today have what is called a serpentine belt which runs most accessories. They are very dependable and usually easy to replace. To decide if your belt needs replacing, simply look at the grooved side of the belt to see if it is cracking badly. A couple of cracks every 3 inches is normal, but if you see cracks every 1-2 inches I would recommend that you replace it."

Juliapester3 5 years ago 18 Replies After 10 years or so of avoiding ANY migraine drugs because they scare me I decided I would give sumatriptan a go last week , my migraine started Thursday and took nothing as I thought it would be gone by Friday but no, still there so I took a Triptan and was fine, amazing! Did the same Saturday as well. Woke up Sunday migraine still there but ramped up a level so took nothing hoping it would fizzle out then Monday still there took another Triptan and gone again....sorry for rambling here! Woke up today would appear I have another migraine starting as dizzy nauseous etc. is this normal on triptans I mean they definitely take the migraine away but it seems to just keep coming back .... Is anyone else the same? I know I am only allowed 8 per month so can't just keep throwing them back ....as tempting as it is because of the relief they seem to give! Any thoughts would be appreciated Read more about...

The first few years of using maybe 1 or 2 sumatriptans a month the migraine cleared and there were no rebound migraines. Then I got to a stage where 2 times out of 3 times the migraine would come back about 24hrs after I took a triptan."

It said that researchers have suggested that one in four migraine sufferers could be pain-free within two hours if they take up to 1,000mg of aspirin in one go. This well-conducted Cochrane review combined the results of 13 trials, which compared aspirin to placebo or another migraine drug. It found that 24% of people given aspirin were pain-free at two hours compared to 11% of those given placebo. Nausea and vomiting associated with migraines were improved with the addition of an anti-sickness drug."

It is a prescription drug approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for “the acute treatment of migraine attacks with or without aura in adults.” Migraines affect millions of people, which has made Imitrex is one of the top-selling drugs in the world. In 2008, Imitrex global sales were $1.27 billion, down from $1.37 billion the year before. Because of Imitrex’s years on the market and high usage, more is known about Imitrex’s safety than the other drugs in the class. Also since it’s been on the market for several years, there are generic drugs available for the migraine drug Imitrex. No other drug in the triptan class has a generic form available. The generic is sold under the drug’s chemical name sumatriptan. How Imitrex for migraines works Imitrex works by narrowing the blood vessels in the brainstem. It also reduces substances that can trigger migraine symptoms of head pain, nausea, sensitivity to light and sensitivity to sound, and other bothersome symptoms."

Most people have headaches from time to time. These are usually tension headaches. Migraines, though, are sudden and strong, pounding headaches on one side of the head. They can greatly affect everyday life. Some people only have occasional migraines, but others have them every month for several days at a time. Symptoms Migraines are typically moderate to severe headaches that only affect one side of the head. They usually come on very suddenly and are described as throbbing or pounding headaches.

People with headache have never had so many options for controlling their attacks. But which option is right for you? Is newer better, or is older safer? How do you choose? Each medicine has a different profile of benefits, side effects and other tradeoffs, but often it isn't possible to predict which will work best for a given individual with headache. All the same, it is possible to make an informed decision about which drug or which type of drug to try first. Several considerations can help you and your doctor select the type of medication most likely to be helpful: Do you have symptoms other than pain with the attack, such as nausea or vomiting, that might interfere with your ability to use oral medication (pills or capsules)? Are these associated symptoms severe or annoying to the point that they need to be treated too?"

Results: The authors found five main groups of clinical presentations: 1) somatosensory deficits in three patients with posterior insular stroke (two with a transient pseudothalamic sensory syndrome, one with partial distribution); 2) gustatory disorder in a patient with left posterior insular infarct; 3) vestibular-like syndrome, with dizziness, gait instability, and tendency to fall, but no nystagmus, in three patients with posterior insular strokes; 4) cardiovascular disturbances, consisting of hypertensive episodes in a patient with a right posterior insular infarct; and 5) neuropsychological disorders, including aphasia (left posterior insula), dysarthria, and transient somatoparaphrenia (right posterior insula). Conclusion: Strokes restricted to the posterior insula may present with pseudothalamic sensory and vestibular-like syndromes as prominent clinical manifestations, but also dysarthria and aphasia (in left lesions), somatoparaphrenia (right lesions) and gustatory dysfunction and blood pressure with hypertensive episodes in right lesions; we did not find acute dysphagia reported in anterior, insular strokes.

Molekuul/Getty Images You may take a triptan—even carry one around in your briefcase or purse—to alleviate a migraine attack as soon as it presents itself. While triptans are generally safe and well-tolerated, they are not for everyone. Using a Triptan for Migraine Relief Triptans are used to treat moderate to severe migraines, as well as mild migraines that are not responsive to over-the-counter medications, like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. They may also be used to treat mild-to-moderate migraines in people who cannot tolerate or take NSAIDs. The Science Behind Triptans Triptans bind to serotonin receptors in the brain. By activating serotonin receptors, blood vessels in the brain are narrowed and certain path pathways in the brainstem are blocked. Triptans are also believed to work by reducing the levels of CGRP —a protein elevated during migraine attacks. The Various Types Triptans are appealing because there are several different ways in which they can be taken. For instance, triptans can be taken by mouth, through the nose, or even injected with a needle into a person's fatty tissue (called a subcutaneous injection)."

View our blog!Midrin and Other Discontinued Migraine Medications Now What Do We Do? Midrin, is a unique medication that can be used as a Migraine abortive or for tension-type headaches. It's a compound medication consisting of three ingredients - isometheptene mucate, dichloralphenazone, and acetaminophen. The isometheptene mucate helps reverse the vasodilation that sometimes occurs during a Migraine. Dichloralphenazone is a sedative, and acetaminophen is a simple analgesic. Midrin has been a problem to get for some time now. There was a shortage of one of the ingredients in 2007. That was followed by some kind of manufacturing issues the manufacturer (Caraco) had a bit later. Finally, Caraco permanently discontinued Midrin. Tracing other medications with the same ingredients has been difficult."

For example, you may need a daily prescription medication to relieve chronic migraines, or you may need to take a medication to prevent migraines and headaches. To learn more about preventing migraines and headaches with medication, read our article on preventive medications for migraines and headaches.

Intravenous Migraine Medications in the Emergency Room By Colleen Doherty, a board-certified physician Updated April 26, 2017Share Pin Email Print You Will Likely Get an Intravenous Medication in the ER. slobo/Vetta/Getty Images Sometimes the pain of a migraine attack is so intense that it requires an emergency room visit. Or, in other cases, nausea and vomiting that accompany a migraine attack limit oral medication intake. In emergency rooms or urgent care centers, acute migraine attacks are often treated with intravenous medications. But which one is best? One study in Neurology randomized 330 patients with an acute migraine attack to receive either 1g sodium valproate, 10mg Reglan (metoclopramide), or 30mg Toradol (ketorolac). Sodium valproate is an anti-seizure medication that in its oral form is sometimes used to prevent migraines. In fact, the American Academy of Neurology concluded that the valproate products, divalproex sodium and sodium valproate, are effective (Level A drugs) in preventing migraines. This being said, it is important to note that valproate is contraindicated in pregnant women."

The reality is that none of the cuts that were considered \"\"cheap\"\" even a few years ago—we're talking hanger, skirt, and flank steak—are even affordable anymore. Meat fans have wised up in a big way to the wonders of these thin, flavorful, and grill-friendly steaks, and butchers have upped the prices to reflect that. So, where are the new butcher's cuts?

"text": "The ligamentum teres is a type of round ligament found in specific areas of the body. Some of these area include the uterus and the liver. The ligamentum teres can also be found in the elbow and the femur. The precise role of the round ligament is dependent upon the area of the body in which it resides. In fact, in some instances, the usefulness of the ligament is not known by those in the medical community. Perhaps the most widely-known of the round ligaments is the ligamentum teres uteri. This ligament is found in the uterus and becomes vital during pregnancy. The round ligament of the uterus works to provide support and hold the uterus in place as the fetus begins to grow. As the uterus gets larger during pregnancy, pain or discomfort can result from this area of the body. Expectant mothers are often concerned about the pain caused by the expanding uterus."

Note the seam of connective tissue that runs through it. Jiri Hubatka / Getty Images Unlike pork, where the shoulder is called a shoulder, when we refer to the shoulder region of a beef carcass we call it the chuck. The beef chuck primal cut is a massive piece of meat, and it's divided into two major subprimals. One of them, the shoulder clod, we'll discuss here. ( The other one is called the chuck roll . ) The beef chuck shoulder clod is made up of five distinct muscles, but typically only three of them are used for making roasts and steaks: Top blade Shoulder center Shoulder tender The other two, sometimes referred to as the \"\"clod lifter meat\"\" and the \"\"nose,\"\" come under the category of so-called \"\"accessory muscles,\"\" which means they're not good for much of anything other than ground beef or stew meat. The top blade, shoulder center and shoulder tender can be prepared and cooked in different ways. Top Blade The top blade (or infraspinatus) muscle is actually quite a tender piece of meat. The only problem is that it has a long seam of tough connective tissue running all the way through it."

"text": "What Is a Ligamentum Teres The ligamentum teres is a type of round ligament found in specific areas of the body. Some of these area include the uterus and the liver. The ligamentum teres can also be found in the elbow and the femur. The precise role of the round ligament is dependent upon the area of the body in which it resides. In fact, in some instances, the usefulness of the ligament is not known by those in the medical community. Perhaps the most widely-known of the round ligaments is the ligamentum teres uteri. This ligament is found in the uterus and becomes vital during pregnancy. The round ligament of the uterus works to provide support and hold the uterus in place as the fetus begins to grow. As the uterus gets larger during pregnancy, pain or discomfort can result from this area of the body. Expectant mothers are often concerned about the pain caused by the expanding uterus."

"text": "(Articulatio Humeri) (Fig. 326) The shoulder-joint is an enarthrodial or ball-and-socket joint. The bones entering into its formation are the hemispherical head of the humerus and the shallow glenoid cavity of the scapula, an arrangement which permits of very considerable movement, while the joint itself is protected against displacement by the tendons which surround it. The ligaments do not maintain the joint surfaces in apposition, because when they alone remain the humerus can be separated to a considerable extent from the glenoid cavity; their use, therefore, is to limit the amount of movement. The joint is protected above by an arch, formed by the coracoid process, the acromion, and the coracoacromial ligament. The articular cartilage on the head of the humerus is thicker at the center than at the circumference, the reverse being the case with the articular cartilage of the glenoid cavity. The ligaments of the shoulder are: 1The Articular Capsule. The Glenohumeral. The Coracohumeral. The Transverse Humeral."

"text": "Movement and Muscles at the Shoulder flexion and extension It's another good thing that I got Biggie for these pictures, because flexion and extension are movements in the sagittal plane—i.e., from front to back. So in a drawing they're like 3-D, like coming out at you, and that's a bit beyond me to draw. I have slightly indicated their directions with arrows on my skeletons, but it's easier to get if you just look at the photos. What movements happen at this joint? Technically flexion is when the angle between two bones is decreased by moving them toward each other, and extension is when the angle is increased by moving them away from each other. Which is easy enough to picture at the elbow, flexion is when you move your forearm toward your upper arm and extension is when you move your forearm away from your upper arm. There has to be another definition for when the two bones are already perpendicular if that's the right word, though. Like your scapula and your humerus or your pelvis and your femur, what angle are we talking about? But anyway at your shoulder and your hip, flexion is bringing your humerus or femur forward and extension is bringing it back."

As a connoisseur of meat eatery I will almost always go to the rib chop to really test the mettle of a steakhouse to its very bones. It is cut from the rib of the animal, and has a circular shaped chunk of meat encased in a thin layer of gristle just off the bone.

"text": "Axillary Nerve Contents Introduction Anatomical Course Function Clinical Notes Introduction The brachial plexus innervates the shoulder and the upper limb. It is formed by the ventral rami, or the anterior divisions, of the fifth to eighth cervical nerves (C5-8), along with the ventral ramus of the first thoracic nerve (T1). These five ventral rami are referred to as the five roots. These five roots merge to form three trunks, the superior (C5-6), middle (C7) and inferior (C8-T1). These three trunks then divide into anterior and posterior divisions to form six divisions in total. These three groups then reform to result in three cords, which are named according to their position with respect to the second part of the axillary artery, which lies posterior to the pectoralis minor muscle. The posterior cord is formed from the posterior divisions of the three roots (C5-8,T1), the lateral cord is a formation of the anterior division of the superior and middle trunks (C5-7) and the medial cord is a continuation of the inferior trunk (C8, T1). There are five terminal branches of the brachial plexus derived from these cords. One of these terminal branches is the axillary nerve, which is derived from the posterior cord (C5-6). This article will talk about the anatomical course and function of the axillary nerve, followed by any clinical pathology related to this nerve."

"text": "Rotator Cuff and Shoulder Anatomy The shoulder has an incredible range of motion, but this means that it is also very prone to injury. The shoulder can easily slip out of alignment by a few millimeters, become weak due to regular wear and tear, or become completely dislocated during a fall. The joint where the upper bone (humerus) of the arm meets the shoulder (scapula and acromion process) is called the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff is the most vulnerable part of the shoulder and is where most shoulder injuries occur. To better understand what is happening inside your rotator cuff it is helpful to understand the different parts of the shoulder. What is the Rotator Cuff? The Rotator Cuff muscles are connected individually to a group of flat tendons, which fuse together and surround the front, the back, and the top of the shoulder joint like a cuff on a shirt. The tendons attach the muscles to the bone and allow movement in the shoulder, as well as providing strength to hold the ball in its socket. They are involved in all shoulder motions: when the muscles contract, they pull on the rotator cuff tendon, causing the shoulder to rotate upward, inward, or outward, hence the name Rotator Cuff. The Rotator Cuff ligaments attach bone to bone and provide stability to the shoulder joint bones."

When the tetanus bacteria Clostridium tetani enters the body mostly through a wound, it can poison the body and proceed to attack the nervous system and muscles. Unfortunately, it’s very easy to get tetanus because even a small prick could introduce the bacteria to the body. Side Effects of Tetanus Shot in Adults The good news is that tetanus is preventable with immunization. However, the tetanus shot comes with its fair share of side effects. You should expect some swelling and redness around the site of the injection and the indications for this range from mild to severe. In most cases, these secondary effects will disappear after a few days. Other side effects include slight muscle aches, mild fever, mild headache and some patients have complained about fatigue and feeling sickly for a day or two. These reactions will be felt for a short while and it is rare to see a patient having severe reactions to tetanus shots. The side effects differ depending on the tetanus shot administered."

"text": "\"What is tetanus? Tetanus, sometimes called lockjaw, is a rare disease caused by bacteria known as Clostridium tetani. A toxin produced by the bacteria affects the function of the nerves and leads to severe muscle spasms in the abdomen, neck, stomach, and extremities. Tetanus can either be localized to one part of the body or generalized, with muscle spasms throughout the body. The disease has been called lockjaw since the muscle spasms in the face and neck can lead to the inability to open the mouth, and this is one of the most common symptoms of tetanus. Tetanus is a serious illness that is fatal in up to 30% of cases. The bacteria that cause tetanus can be found in soil, manure, or dust. They infect humans by entering the body through cuts or puncture wounds, particularly when the wound area is dirty. Animal bites, burns, and non-sterile injection of drugs can also lead to infection with Clostridium tetani. The first symptoms of tetanus can appear any time from three days to weeks after infection, but the average time until symptom onset is eight days."

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": "TETANUS SHOT: HOW DO WE KNOW THAT IT WORKS? ~ By Tetyana Obukhanych, Ph D– July 10, 2014Posted in: Print PDFThe cure for tetanus, a life-threatening and often deadly disease, has been sought from the very inception of the modern field of Immunology. The original horse anti-serum treatment of tetanus was developed in the late 19th century and introduced into clinical practice at the time when a bio-statistical concept of a randomized placebo-controlled trial (RCT) did not yet exist. The therapy was infamous for generating a serious adverse reaction called serum sickness attributed to the intolerance of humans to horse-derived serum. To make this tetanus therapy usable, it was imperative to substitute the animal origin of anti-serum with the human origin. But injecting a lethal toxin into human volunteers as substitutes for horses would have been unthinkable. A practical solution was found in 1924: pre-treating the tetanus toxin with formaldehyde (a fixative chemical) made the toxin lose its ability to cause clinical tetanus symptoms. The formaldehyde-treated tetanus toxin is called the toxoid. The tetanus toxoid can be injected into human volunteers to produce a commercial human therapeutic product from their sera called tetanus immunoglobulin (TIG), a modern substitute of the original horse anti-serum. The tetanus toxoid has also become the vaccine against clinical tetanus."

You May Not Need Another For 30 More Years The first thought most people likely have when they step on a dirty nail in rotting wood or slice open their hand on scrap metal is a string of colorful expletives as searing pain shoots through their wound. But the second thought—perhaps after stopping the bleeding—may very well be, “When did I get my last tetanus shot?”The tetanus vaccine prevents the serious infection caused by tetanus bacteria that kills up to one in five people who develop it. Symptoms include muscle stiffness, seizures, fever, headache, stomach or muscle spasms, inability to swallow and a whole body of pain. That’s the bad news. The good news is, if you had the full series of tetanus vaccine doses as a child or, for those over age 30, any booster in the past several decades, you likely have nothing to worry about. Instead of getting a tetanus booster every 10 years as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention currently recommends for adults, a new study suggests immunity from the vaccine lasts at least 30 years. That goes for protection against both tetanus and diphtheria, the other disease that the Td booster protects against."

"text": "1How Much Does Tetanus Vaccine Cost When you accidentally stepped on a sharp edge of a rusty nail, it is important that you immediately go to a health center or a hospital to get a tetanus shot, which prevents tetanus and diphtheria infections from spreading. As well know, a tetanus infection causes lockjaw and muscle spasms while a diphtheria infection affects the respiratory problems, and both of them can kill a person if not treated as soon as possible. However, people can get a tetanus vaccination, which comes in different combinations of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccines, to protect them against the fatal infections. Before this article answers the question, how much does a tetanus shot cost, here are the common com binations of tetanus vaccines:– DTap and Tdap are combinations diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (a whooping cough) vaccines– DT and Td contain diphtheria and tetanus vaccine*Take note that lowercase letters d and p signify lower amounts or strengths of diphtheria and pertussis, respectively. And according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, DTa P and DT are administered to children below seven years old while the Tdap and Td are given to patients seven years old and above. Average Costs of Tetanus Vaccine Most of the time, tetanus vaccines are given during childhood years, but there are instances when adults undergo such vaccination, especially they are traveling to other places or pregnant for women. With this in mind, how much does a tetanus shot cost? Typically, the cost of a tetanus vaccine ranges from $10 to $100, depending on the vaccine combination, your location, and whether you have a health insurance coverage or not. Meanwhile, the Tdap vaccine cost – a combination of tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis – may run from $60 to $65 for each dose. Without Health Insurance How much does tetanus shot price if it is without the coverage of a health insurance?"

Immunization is the most ideal approach to forestall tetanus — a genuine ailment brought about by a bacterial poison that influences the sensory system. Tetanus bacterial spores can enter your body through any cut or scratch. Be that as it may, profound cut injuries, for example, from venturing on a nail, are most vulnerable to tetanus disease. A grown-up who's never been inoculated against tetanus ought to finish the starting tetanus arrangement of three tetanus shots. The initial two shots are given no less than four weeks separated, and the third shot is offered six to 12 months after the second shot. After the introductory tetanus arrangement, promoter shots are suggested at regular intervals.

"text": "My fight against Tetanus This is the story of my struggle with tetanus. Some of it is tedious and perhaps too much detail. Some you may not understand my reasoning or practices. I only post this because I found so little on the internet of people who fought and survived tetanus without having to rely on the modern, enormously expensive and egotistical medical empire. Tuesday, Jan. 6th Early afternoon. Today I stepped on a dirty, rusty nail which punctured about ¾ inch into my left foot, between the little toe and the one next to it (would that be my ring toe?). Immediately I felt the blood gushing into my shoe, which surprised me since I usually don’t bleed very fast when I do get cut. I took off the shoe and sock and let it bleed for a few minutes before I found a tissue to stop the blood. I put the sock and shoe back on and finished the project. At least an hour later, I made it home and rinsed the wound with peroxide, but not deeply."

Once fertilized in the ampullary segment of the fallopian tube, the embryo spends about 5 days traveling into the remaining anatomical oviductal districts and arrives into the uterine cavity at the blastocyst stage.

The anatomy and physiology of the fallopian tube play an important role in egg transport and fertilization. The fallopian tube is a muscular tube with an average length of about 11–12 cm and is composed of four regions. The most distal portion is called the infundibulum, it is approximately 1 cm in length, and it includes the finger-like fimbria.

"text": "\"Passive Transport Written by tutor Megan E. In order to survive, a cell must maintain a careful balance of nutrients, electrolytes, water, and metabolites in its cytoplasm at all times. Many of these required nutrients are supplied to cells by the bloodstream (multicellular organisms) or extracellular fluid (single-celled organisms), and thus the cell must have ways to get these substances into its cytoplasm through its membrane. Also, cells must be able to excrete waste products into the extracellular space so the cytoplasm does not accumulate toxic and harmful products. In addition, an exact gradient of electrolytes must be maintained across the cell membrane in order for cells to perform normal functions like movement, signaling, and both anabolic and catabolic activities. Thus the cell has complex systems of transport to move these substances both in and out of the cell. Passive transport is the name for a class of transport processes that do not require energy from the cell for the transport to take place. In the terms of thermodynamics, these processes of transport occur spontaneously or have a net negative Gibbs free energy (exergonic reaction). Active transport is the other class of transport systems that do require energy from the cell, usually in the form of ATP, do not occur spontaneously (endergonic reaction). Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion are all types of passive transport. A molecule will undergo passive transport when it flows down its electrochemical gradient, a combination of its chemical and electrical gradients."

Instead, it has a number of essential physiological functions:1. In humans and animals, cholesterol is a major constituent of the cell membranes. Cholesterol modulates physical properties of these membranes that in turn affect the function of membrane proteins such as receptors and transporters. Experimental depletion of membrane cholesterol cripples many cellular functions.2. Cholesterol is the biosynthetic precursor of bile acids, which are essential for fat digestion.3. Cholesterol is the precursor of all steroid hormones, namely, androgens, estrogens, progestins, glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and calciferol (vitamin D). Nevertheless, it certainly is true that cholesterol also plays a major role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this chapter, we will first cover the metabolic pathways that involve cholesterol, and then take a look at the role of cholesterol in this important cardiovascular disease.11.1.1Processes that determine the cholesterol balanceintestinal uptake of dietary cholesterolde novo cholesterol synthesissynthesis of steroid hormones from cholesterolsynthesis of bile acids from cholesterol, and their biliary secretionbiliary secretion of surplus cholesterol in unmodified form Cholesterol can both be synthesized endogenously and obtained from the diet.

The structure of a membrane is best understood in light of its component parts and in the context of the specialized functions performed by the cell or by its various, membrane-bound compartments. Molecular Structure Cellular membranes consist mainly of phospholipid assembled into a stable, sheetlike structure called a bilayer . The process of assembly occurs spontaneously under normal cellular conditions once phospholipid has been synthesized. To understand this process and the important properties of all membranes, it is necessary to appreciate the amphipathic nature of phospholipid structure. An amphipathic lipid is structurally polarized into a molecular region that is hydrophilic and one that is hydrophobic . When the phospholipids in an aqueous environment like cytoplasm reach a critical concentration, they associate into aggregates that are more stable in an aqueous environment than are the individual lipids. These aggregates, or micelles, can assume several forms, but they all have two features in common: The polar \"\"heads\"\" of the phospholipids project into the aqueous environment, and the hydrophobic regions or \"\"tails\"\" are oriented away from water. At low lipid concentrations the micelles are spherical; at higher concentrations, the micelles aggregate to form an extended, two-dimensional sheet called a bilayer. To understand the structure of a bilayer, imagine two single layers of phospholipid, each consisting of polar heads and nonpolar tails, aligned head with head and tail with tail."

Here we discuss the soundness and weaknesses of the chemical and biochemical evidence marshaled to support these associations, as well as the mechanisms by which tubulin or microtubules may regulate functions at the plasma membrane. Previous article Next article Keywords Microtubule Integral membrane protein Linker Electrostatic Receptor Channel1. Historical introduction Tubulin, present in all eukaryotes, is an abundant, hydrophilic, heterodimeric protein that is the chief component of microtubules, ciliary axonemes, basal bodies and centrioles. The bulk of the tubulin is composed of two similar but not identical subunits, α- and β-tubulin, that normally exist in the dimeric form. The dimer is in dynamic equilibrium with microtubules which are, in turn, regulated by GTP, temperature, calcium ion, accessory proteins, and a large number of drugs that modify the state of polymerization and dynamic instability. Specialized forms of tubulin, γ, δ, and ɛ, though less abundant, also play important roles in these equilibria. The α- and β-monomers have a mass of ∼ 50 k Da, have acidic C-termini which define the isotypes, contain 12 and 8 sulfhydryl groups, resp., and are subject to a large number of post-translational modifications. Tubulin is primarily a cytoplasmic protein present either as dimers or microtubules, but a small, though significant, fraction is firmly associated with organelle or plasma membranes."

Plasma membrane is also known as a cell membrane. The cell wall is a tough layer, which may be rigid or flexible depending on the type, and surrounds the entire cell. The cell wall resides outside of the cell membrane, but only in plant, bacteria, fungi, algae, and some archaea. The plasma membrane and cell wall are two integral parts of the cell. Cells are the smallest unit of life and are microscopic in nature, which means that they can’t be seen with the naked eye. Cells were discovered in 1665 by Robert Hooke and were named for the small “cells” (rooms) in a monastery. There are two types of cells, the prokaryotic cells and the eukaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells are self-sufficient in nature, such as bacteria and archaea. On the other hand, the cells of all multi-cellular beings are eukaryotic cells."

They vary in shape, size and number per cell and appear to operate with slight differences in cells of yeast, higher plants and mammals. Lysosomes contribute to a dismantling and re-cycling facility. They assist with degrading material taken in from outside the cell and life expired components from within the cell. Recent research suggests that lysosomes are organelles that store hydrolytic enzymes in an inactive state. The system is activated when a lysosome fuses with another particular organelle to form a ‘hybrid structure’ where the digestive reactions occur under acid (about p H 5.0) conditions. From this ‘hybrid structure’ a lysosome is reformed for re-use. Lysosomes play no part in determining which cells are eliminated. This is a function of the processes of programmed cell death (apoptosis) and phagocytosis. Lysosomes are neither the ‘suicide bags’ nor ‘garbage disposal units’ that these evocative terms would suggest."

What is the reason for this designation? Both nervous system and the endocrine system are considered integrative systems. This designation stems from the fact that both systems control and regulate biological functions and act at distance, receiving information from organs and tissues and sending effector commands (nervous impulses or hormones) to organs and tissues, thus integrating the body. Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems More Bite-Sized Q&As Below2. Which structures make up the nervous system? The structures that form the nervous system can be divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The organs of the CNS are the brain (cerebrum, brainstem and cerebellum) and spinal cord. The PNS is made of nerves and neural ganglia."

Full Answer The tympanic membrane consists of three smaller layers, which include the outer cutaneous layer, a fibrous middle layer and a mucous-membrane inner layer within the middle ear. The entire membrane is held in place, between the outer and middle ear, by cartilage. The cartilage ensures that the tympanic membrane does not vibrate too much when sound waves hit it, so that the sound waves can be transferred to the middle ear."

"title": "https://www.healthline.com/health/ear-irrigation\nWhat is ear irrigation?",
"text": "What is ear irrigation? Ear irrigation is a routine procedure used to remove excess earwax, or cerumen, and foreign materials from the ear. The ear naturally secretes wax to protect and lubricate the ear as well as to keep debris out and hinder bacterial growth. Under normal conditions, the body keeps the amount of earwax in the ears under control. Too much earwax or hardened earwax can cause a blockage in the ear, resulting in earaches, ringing in the ears, or temporary hearing loss. Purpose Purpose of ear irrigation The ear, especially the canal and eardrum, is very sensitive. Earwax buildup can cause damage to these structures over time. This can affect your hearing. Removing excess earwax with ear irrigation is a safe way to minimize the risk of damage to the ear. Sometimes foreign materials like food, insects, or small stones can get into the ear."

"text": "What is otitis media? Otitis media is another name for an infection of the middle ear. The middle ear is the space behind the eardrum. It can become infected by bacteria or viruses. Ear anatomy The ear has three sections: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Each section is made up of smaller parts that work together to help you hear. Causes of otitis media The Eustachian tube connects the ear to the back of the throat and helps ventilate (air) and drain the middle ear. Otitis media occurs when mucus or swollen tissues from a cold block the Eustachian tube. The blockage has two main results. It prevents the tube from ventilating the middle ear."

"text": "A retracted eardrum occurs when a person's eardrum, or tympanic membrane, gets sucked or pulled into the space behind it. This happens when the pressure in this space, known as the middle ear, is too low. Infections usually cause this ear problem, but a quick change in outside air pressure can also cause the pressure inside of a person's ear to drop rapidly, possibly causing a retracted eardrum. The tympanic membrane is more commonly referred to as the eardrum, and it is a very thin, flexible membrane. It is located between the outer ear canal and the middle ear. A thin tube, known as the eustachian tube, connects the middle ear to a person's nose and throat and helps maintain the proper pressure in the middle ear, relative to the outside pressure. When this tube is blocked, the pressure in a person's ear gets too low, creating a vacuum. Infection is considered to be the main cause of a blocked eustachian tube. During many ear infections, fluid will build up in either the inner or middle ear. This fluid will sometimes block the opening to the eustachian tube in the ear."

The ear catches sound waves and converts it into impulses, that the brain interprets, making it understandable and helps the human body differentiate between different sounds. The ear captures sound and helps you recall that sound throughout your life. The ear helps the body respond emotionally, according to the sound heard, like emotions of love on hearing the sound of a loved one, emotions of fear on hearing a threat or a gunshot! The human body is a marvel of nature and each and every large or tiny organ has a specific and important function. There are five senses of the human body, that help understand and interpret its surroundings. These five senses are namely -The sense of touch with the help of the largest organ of the human body, the skin The sense of smell with the help of the breathing apparatus, the nose The sense of taste with the muscle without a bone, the tongue The ability to see through the windows of the soul, the eyes The sense of hearing with the help of cartilaginous pair of ears. From the sweet chirping of the birds to the irritating sounds of crickets, the loud bang of crackers and the beautiful symphony of an orchestra, all these different sounds and many other sounds are possible to comprehend due to our ears. Majority of the human population is born with fully developed external and internal ears. Even a fetus inside its mother's womb is able to hear all the sounds that are loud."

"text": "Andy Warhol famously introduced the idea that someday everyone would be world famous for 15 minutes. But if the pop artist had lived long enough to watch some web videos, you have to think he’d change his timeframe to 15 seconds. That’s because everyone from pet owners to parents are looking to cash in viral videos these days. But when it comes to web video, does fame equal fortune? That depends on how much money you expect to make. While most successful viral videos tend to earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars, the biggest hits — which are rare — can generate more than a million, according to Daniel Fisher, senior vice president of audience solutions at London-based video monetization firm Rightster. “We have seen, in the last four or five years, an enormous collection of high-definition content being uploaded primarily to You Tube, and now other platforms including Facebook,” says Fisher. Typically, those videos get seen by next to no one. But in rare cases, wildly funny, extremely scary, or just downright amazing videos will start getting shared, and that’s when the viral phenomenon begins. Successful videos get picked up by a thought leader, says Fisher, which is either an Internet personality, celebrity, or other prominent figure."

The African Honey Badger likes honey, even climbing trees to raid hives. It also eats porcupines and snakes. Badgers are excellent diggers and also have keen vision, smell and hearing.

Here are a few things we know for sure.1. THEIR NAME MEANS “HONEY EATER OF THE CAPE.”Mellivora capensis is the species’ formal name, but you can go ahead and judge a honey badger by its common name. These little monsters love the sweet stuff. “ The Cape” is The Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, where many reside (they also call the Middle East and India home). Another one of their names is ratel, which is an Afrikaans word that might be derived from the Dutch word for honeycomb, raat.

Weasels are very active and chiefly terrestrial but areable to climb trees. They prey on small animals by night, often killing more than they eat, andspend the day in dens made in holes in the ground, rock piles, or hollow stumps. Although they arenotorious for destruction of poultry, the damage they do is far outweighed by their value as destroyers of rodents. Weasels are usually brown, with white underparts."

Answer by Susie Dresh Confidence votes 23.7KDens The honey badger is well adapted for digging, and excavates burrows of 1 - 3 metres in length, to depths of 0.25 to 1.5 metres; a single tunnel ends in a chamber, which is usually bare. Nursery chambers are lined with grass. Natural shelters, such as rock crevices and holes under tree roots or old termite mounds are used, also used are the dens of other animals such as aardvarks. The honey badger travels over a wide range, rarely occupying the same hole for more than one night (occasionally, a hole has been used for up to 3 consecutive nights). They reuse old badger holes and holes dug by other animals and modified by the badgers for their use. The holes of Cape foxes, bat-eared foxes, yellow mongooses and springhares are also taken over and adapted for use by the honey badger.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Put a Comma before a Conjunction If It Joins Two Independent Clauses Words like and, or, and but are known as conjunctions. ( There are other conjunctions, but these three are by far the most common.) ( NB: Conjunctions are often used in lists, and the ruling about using a comma before a conjunction in a list depends on whether you're following US or UK writing conventions, or whether you're an advocate of the Oxford Comma .) This page is about conjunctions that are used to merge two standalone \"\"sentences\"\" (or independent clauses as they're really called) into one using a conjunction. This is a very common practice. When a conjunction is used in this way, it is usual to place a comma before it. Example of a Two Independent Clauses Being Joined with a Conjunction He is a great swimmer, but he prefers to play golf. Let's look at this sentence: \"\"He is a great swimmer\"\" + \"\"He prefers to play golf\"\" The sentence is made up of two standalone \"\"sentences\"\" (i.e., independent clauses).

For a number of years the Guinness Book of Records has named it the “most fearless creature”. This animal (which looks deceptively cute) will attack virtually anything and it is smart enough to know its opponents weak spots. For example, when confronted by a human male, it will attack the testicles. This is also one of the few animals that uses tools – for example making use of logs as ladders. The honey badger loves honey and will dive right into a beehive with no regard to its own safety – which unfortunately often leads to its death."

This med is known to bring down these levels. He has been on this med for 3 1/2 years. He is also on Primidone but has been weaning off of this for over 18 months now. He is doing that VERY slowly and hasn't had any problems. He has been on this nutrisystem diet for the past 9 weeks and has increased his liquid consumption. The other day, he had a seizure. It has been 20 years since the last one. They took him to the hospital and said his sodium was low. His neurologist claims this is a \"\"breakthru\"\" seizure and now increased the primidone."

Posted 8 months ago (7/31/2017)Rated Kepprafor Partial Seizures Report So, perhaps this is why I feel crazy sometimes? I had a brain haemorrhage six years ago, and after that had a seizure as I was taking the Thanksgiving turkey out of the oven, so I was given Keppra and have taken it ever since. I guess it works, although once I had another seizure and had to go to the ER, where they upped my dosage to 500 mg twice a day. I guess it works because I haven't had any more seizures, but I do have many of the side effects -- depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide (although I would never do that) etc. I thought it was just me, but perhaps it's the drug? I find it difficult sometimes to find the word I'm looking for and have to stop speaking for a minute while I search for it. I wonder whether this is aphasia from the stroke I had, or the Keppra--I have a number of the side effects listed. I don't know. Posted 13 months ago (3/11/2017)Rated Kepprafor Epilepsy Report I was on Dilantin and Mysoline for Seizures."

"text": "Generic Keppra (levetiracetam)A generic version of the anti-convulsant medication Keppra, commonly used to treat patients that suffer from seizures, such as epileptics, was approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for marketing in 2009. However, it seems that patients who switch from Keppra to the generic, Levetiracetam, are experiencing increased re-occurance of seizures after having been seizure-free on the brand name Keppra. In addition to treating patients with epilepsy or other seizure disorders, Keppra or Levetiracetam may be administered to patients who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and had seizures from their brain injury. All generic medications must undergo certain tests to compare them to brand-name medications. The FDA then looks at these tests to decide if the generics are equivalent to the brand-name medications. However, generic medications are allowed to have different inactive ingredients than the brand-name medication. This might include fillers or dyes or other ingredients that may cause problems for people with allergies or sensitivities. Do you have a Generic Keppra claim? The generic version of Keppra was only approved for marketing in 2009, so any injuries resulting from the switch from Keppra to generic would have occurred in 2009 or 2010. If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of generic Keppra (Levetiracetam), you may be entitled to compensation."

Photo: Getty Images By Nick Squires, Rome11:45PM BST 24 Sep 2015Follow It has all the ingredients of a Dan Brown thriller – an ancient crypt, a collection of human bones, a passionate sleuth and Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting. Italian researchers edged closer to solving one of the greatest mysteries in art history on Thursday – the identity of the Renaissance woman who posed for Leonardo’s Mona Lisa, the Louvre’s greatest treasure and one of the world’s most famous paintings. After spending four years excavating human remains from beneath a centuries-old convent in Florence, researchers have zeroed in on a small collection of bones that they believe may have belonged to Lisa Gherardini, the Florentine silk merchant’s wife whom many scholars believe was the model for Leonardo’s masterpiece. The research team revealed on Thursday that carbon-14 dating showed that the bones, which included a femur, dated from around the time that Gherardini died, in July 1542, at the age of 63. Historical records indicate that Gherardini, who spent her last years in religious seclusion in the Sant’ Orsola convent in Florence, was laid to rest at the site. Archaeologists work on the excavation of a grave inside the medieval Convent of Saint Ursula in Florence Photo: Getty Images“I’m convinced it is her,” Silvano Vinceti, an art historian who led the research team, told The Telegraph. “There is a strong compatibility between the results from our archaeological and historical research and the results from the carbon dating. It is highly probable that the remains belong to Lisa Gherardini."

"text": "Some say Leonardo’s masterpiece has a twin – another portrait of the Florentine merchant’s wife, painted when she was younger. Alastair Sooke investigates. By Alastair Sooke17 February 2015One of the surprising things about Leonardo da Vinci is that despite his colossal reputation as an artist he didn’t actually produce many paintings. Over the course of a long career lasting almost half a century, he began probably no more than 20 pictures. Only 15 have survived that scholars agree are wholly his. So the discovery of a new painting by Leonardo would be a very big deal indeed. According to recent reports, a picture by the 19th Century French artist Paul Gauguin has been sold privately for a record-breaking $300 million (£197 million). Imagine how much an authentic Leonardo could make if one ever came to the market. The thing is, attributing artworks to Leonardo is notoriously difficult. One painting currently touring cities across Asia exemplifies what I mean."

"text": "\"The Mona Lisa - by Leonardo Da Vinci Courtesy of Leonardo Da Vinci.net Portrait of Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda, the wife of Francesco del Giocondo; This painting is painted as oil on wood. The original painting size is77 x 53 cm (30 x 20 7/8 in) and is owned by by the Government of France and is on the wall in the Louvre in Paris, France. This figure of a woman, dressed in the Florentine fashion of her day and seated in a visionary, mountainous landscape, is a remarkable instance of Leonardo's sfumato technique of soft, heavily shaded modeling. The Mona Lisa's enigmatic expression, which seems both alluring and aloof, has given the portrait universal fame. The Mona Lisa's famous smile represents the sitter in the same way that the juniper branches represent Ginevra Benci and the ermine represents Cecilia Gallerani in their portraits, in Washington and Krakow respectively. It is a visual representation of the idea of happiness suggested by the word \"\"gioconda\"\" in Italian. Leonardo made this notion of happiness the central motif of the portrait: it is this notion which makes the work such an ideal. The nature of the landscape also plays a role. The middle distance, on the same level as the sitter's chest, is in warm colors. Men live in this space: there is a winding road and a bridge."

Just what do we know about this celebrated Renaissance man of mystery? Ser Piero di Vinci didn't know what to do about his son, Leonardo. He had reached the point in life where young men needed to prepare for a career. Ser Piero himself was an important official - a notary. This line of work would be closed to Leonardo. His birth had been the result of a romantic tryst with a peasant girl, too low a class for Ser Piero to consider marrying. Because the boy was illegitimate, the guild of magistrates and notaries would not accept him,. nor would he be allowed to attend the university. The boy did show a definite talent for drawing, however, perhaps he could be apprenticed to an artist…This is how young Leonardo da Vinci started on his career in art, a career in which he would create some of the most famous paintings in the world, including perhaps the most-widely recognized and most highly valuable painting of all time, the Mona Lisa."

Richard Cavendish | Published in History Today Volume 61 Issue 8 August 2011Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, also known as La Gioconda, is the most famous painting in the world. Quantities of effort and ink have been spent over the years on identifying who she was and deciding what her enigmatic smile signifies, what she says about femininity, if anything, and why she has no eyebrows. Leonardo took the painting with him when he was invited to France by Francis I in 1516. The king bought it and at the French Revolution it was placed in the Louvre. Napoleon took it away to hang in his bedroom, but it was returned to the Louvre afterwards. The theft of this fabulous object in 1911 created a media sensation. The police were as baffled as everyone else. It was thought that modernist enemies of traditional art must be involved and the avant-garde poet and playwright Guillaume Apollinaire was arrested in September and questioned for a week before being released. Pablo Picasso was the next prominent suspect, but there was no evidence against him either."

It was 24 hours before anyone noticed she was missing. The usual line is that the Louvre was closed for maintenance and everyone thought that somebody else must have removed the picture to be photographed, or cleaned. But museums are – or were – surprisingly blind to crime, even when it involves stealing the world's most famous painting. Or perhaps not the world's most famous painting – the Mona Lisa certainly wasn't universally known in 1911. You still had to travel to the Louvre to see her. There were prints, though Leonardo's cumulative portrait, gradually painted over several years, had long proved extremely hard to copy as an engraving. And photographs did exist – indeed the French police printed off 6,500 copies for distribution in the streets of Paris immediately after her disappearance, as if to jog someone's memory. These mug-shots were also for comparison with any forgery that might turn up purporting to be the original. For the Mona Lisa wears a fine veil of craquelure – that pattern of tiny cracks that can form in the surface of a painting when it's as old as she is – that is more or less impossible to fake."

A: Quick Answer Leonardo da Vinci undertook the task of painting the Mona Lisa, an oil painting on canvas, as a commission from Francesco del Giocondo, a wealthy Florentine silk merchant.

He took the painting with him from Italy to France when he moved at the invitation of Francois I. Da Vinci eventually sold the painting to Francois I for 4,000 ecus.

"text": "Mona Lisa By Cris | May 26, 2013 | Celebrities and Entertainment She smiles well…The Mona Lisa is a portrait of a woman, believed to be Lisa Gherardini, and the painting was probably commissioned by her husband, Francesco del Giocondo, a cloth merchant. The Mona Lisa is also known as ‘La Gioconda’, a reference to her married name, or ‘La Joconde’, meaning ‘the happy one’. The Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist, and was painted between 1503 and 1506. The Mona Lisa is an oil painting on a poplar wood panel, and has the dimensions of 77 cm by 53 cm (30 inches by 21 inches), and is the most famous painting in the world. It is believed that the person who commissioned the Mona Lisa was never given the painting, and remained in da Vinci’s possession until his death, and eventually was obtained by the French king, King Francis I. Mona Lisa Image courtesy of Edwin/Flickr The Mona Lisa was stolen on the 21 August 1911 by an Italian Louvre employee, Vincenzo Peruggia, and was missing for two years, and eventually turned up in Italy, where Peruggia had taken it. The fame of the Mona Lisa painting was partly fueled by its theft in 1911, as the media reported it across the world. The Mona Lisa has had acid, rocks, paint and a cup thrown at it, but it is still in good condition due to the restoration, touch-ups and cleaning it has had. The Mona Lisa has been located at the Louvre (Musée du Louvre) in Paris since 1797, and approximately 6 million people visit it every year, even though most of the visitors only get to see it in a crowded room and choose to look at it for approximately 15 seconds. The Mona Lisa is not insured as it is considered priceless, and it has a current estimated value of almost US$760 million, based on an insurance assessment in the early 1960s, valued then at $100 million.

By Elizabeth Nix// September 4, 2013Mona Lisa Who was the Real Mona Lisa? Get the full story. Print Cite Over the years, scholars have debated the true inspiration behind the most famous half-smile in history—and possibly even the world’s most recognizable face. Proposed sitters for the “Mona Lisa” have included da Vinci’s mother Caterina, Princess Isabella of Naples, a Spanish noblewoman named Costanza d’Avalos and an unnamed courtesan, among others. Some of the more provocative theories emphasize the subject’s masculine facial features, suggesting that da Vinci based the portrait on his own likeness or that of his longtime apprentice and possible lover, Salaì. Lisa Gherardini del Giocondo, a wealthy silk merchant’s wife and the mother of five children, has been a leading contender since an art historian identified her as the sitter in 1550, more than four decades after the iconic painting’s completion. The 2005 discovery of a 500-year-old note by an acquaintance of da Vinci, which states that the artist was working on Lisa’s portrait, confirmed the theory for many scholars. It is thought that the Florentine beauty’s husband commissioned the work to celebrate the impending birth of a child; indeed, some have chalked up the subject’s enigmatic expression and loose garments to pregnancy."

Martin Kemp, professor emeritus at Oxford University, who has examined the arguments, says the \"\"reliable primary evidence provides no basis for thinking that there was 'an earlier' portrait of Lisa del Giocondo. \"\" Da Vinci's lost masterpiece may be found In addition to a 320-page art book titled \"\"Mona Lisa: Leonardo's Earlier Version,\"\" the foundation's website makes its case using visual widgets of painstaking side-by-side comparisons of the \"\"Isleworth\"\" with \"\"Mona Lisa,\"\" magnifying their similarities down to the small details. The obvious resemblance, easily visible to the untrained eye, could be evidence that the work is just another copy of the portrait of Lisa del Giocondo that was painted after da Vinci's masterpiece was completed -- and probably by someone else, Kemp said in a news release. The \"\"Mona Lisa\"\" that millions of art lovers flock to gaze upon behind its protective case in the Paris museum was altered from a previous state. \"\" The Isleworth picture follows the final state of the Louvre painting,\"\" Kemp said. \"\" It does not therefore precede the Louvre painting. \"\""

Mona Lisa (La Gioconda), ca. 1503-05. Oil on poplar wood. 77 x 53 cm (30 3/8 x 20 7/8 in.). Musée du Louvre, Parisby Shelley Esaak Updated November 22, 2017Sfumato (pronounced sfoo·mah·toe) is the word art historians use to describe a painting technique taken to dizzying heights by the Italian Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci. The visual result of the technique is that there are no harsh outlines present (as in a coloring book). Instead, areas of dark and light blend into one another through miniscule brushstrokes, making for a rather hazy, albeit more realistic, depiction of light and color. The word sfumato means shaded, and it is the past participle of the Italian verb \"\"sfumare\"\" or \"\"shade.\"\" \"\" Fumare\"\" means \"\"smoke\"\" in Italian, and the combination of smoke and shade perfectly describes the barely perceptible gradation of tones and colors of the technique from light to dark, particularly used in flesh tones."

A STAFF REPORT FROM THE STRAIGHT DOPE SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARDMarch 13, 2000Dear Straight Dope: I was recently in Paris and had a chance to peruse the permanent collection of the Musee de Louvre, which includes, of course, Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. As I gazed at the rather modest creation behind all that bulletproof glass, a thought occurred to me: big schmeil. Sure it's a decent painting, but I've seen better, arguably even by Leo himself. My question is who, when and why, decided that this was to be the most renowned work of art in the Western world? Cosgrove Watt, Brooklyn, NYSDStaff Dex replies: The story is told of two women from the countryside, standing in front of the Mona Lisa, and saying to each other, “I don’t like it.” “ What’s all the fuss about?”The guard says, “Ma’am, the Mona Lisa has stood the test of time. When you stand before her, it is you, not she, who is being judged. ”Still, you’ve got a point. Like so many things nowadays, the Mona Lisa is famous mainly for being famous."

This metric is more robust than the current ratio, also known as the working capital ratio, since it ignores illiquid assets such as inventory. Calculated by: The acid-test ratio is commonly known as the quick ratio. Next Up Current Ratio Current Assets Quick Ratio Quick Liquidity Ratio BREAKING DOWN 'Acid-Test Ratio'Acid-test Ratio Calculation The numerator of the acid-test ratio can be defined in various ways, but the main consideration should be gaining a realistic view of the company's liquid assets. Cash and cash equivalents should definitely be included, as should short-term investments, such as, marketable securities. Accounts receivable are generally included, but this is not always appropriate. In the construction industry, for example, accounts receivable may take a long time to recover, therefore, its inclusion could make a firm's financial position seem much more secure than it is. Another way to calculate the numerator is to take all current assets and subtract illiquid assets. Most importantly, inventory should be subtracted, keeping in mind that this will negatively skew the picture for retail businesses, as in the cases of Walmart and Target mentioned above. Other elements that appear as assets on a balance sheet should be subtracted if they cannot be used to cover liabilities in the short term, such as advances to suppliers, prepayments, and deferred tax assets ."

[ Photographs: Vicky Wasik. Video: Natalie Holt]Get the Recipe Smooth and Creamy Polenta I can't help but laugh when I think of polenta, the Italian corn porridge. Everyone always repeats the same old rules for making it—make sure the liquid is boiling before adding the polenta, then stir nonstop until it's done. And yet, of all the things worth knowing about how to cook great polenta, those might be two of the least important (and, frankly, partially incorrect) lessons. How can the wisdom around such a simple food get so universally bungled? I want to rewrite some of these rules and set the record straight. First, if the things you've heard about polenta have left you too intimidated to cook it, I want to assure you: It couldn't be easier. Yes, it does require some attention as it cooks, but not more than, say, steel-cut oatmeal. Don't fret about constant stirring or unconquerable lumps."

The way to show off the success of your company is a balance sheet. A balance sheet is a documented report of your company's assets and obligations, as well as the residual ownership claims against your equity at any given point in time. It is a cumulative record that reflects the result of all recorded accounting transactions since your enterprise was formed. You need a balance sheet to specifically know what your company's net worth is on any given date. With a properly prepared balance sheet, you can look at a balance sheet at the end of each accounting period and know if your business has more or less value, if your debts are higher or lower, and if your working capital is higher or lower. By analyzing your balance sheet, investors, creditors and others can assess your ability to meet short-term obligations and solvency, as well as your ability to pay all current and long-term debts as they come due. The balance sheet also shows the composition of assets and liabilities, the relative proportions of debt and equity financing and the amount of earnings that you have had to retain. Collectively, this information will be used by external parties to help assess your company's financial status, which is required by both lending institutions and investors before they will allot any money toward your business.

The liquidity of marketable securities comes from the fact that the maturities tend to be less than one year, and that the rates at which they can be bought or sold have little effect on prices. Next Up Quick Ratio Liquid Asset Liquidity Ratios Liquidity BREAKING DOWN 'Marketable Securities'Businesses typically hold cash in their reserves to prepare them for situations in which they may need to act swiftly, such as taking advantage of an acquisition opportunity that comes up or making contingent payments. However, instead of holding on to all the cash in its coffers which presents no opportunity to earn interest, a business will invest a portion of the cash in short-term liquid securities. This way, instead of having cash sit idly, the company can earn returns on it. If a sudden need for cash emerges, the company can easily liquidate these securities. Examples of a short-term investment products are a group of assets categorized as marketable securities. Marketable securities are defined as any unrestricted financial instrument that can be bought or sold on a public stock exchange or a public bond exchange. Therefore, marketable securities are classified as either a marketable equity security or a marketable debt security.

[ 1]The steering ratio is the ratio of the number of degrees of turn of the steering wheel to the number of degrees the wheel (s) turn as a result. In motorcycles, delta tricycles and bicycles, the steering ratio is always 1:1, because the steering wheel is fixed to the front wheel. A steering ratio of x:y means that a turn of the steering wheel x degree (s) causes the wheel (s) to turn y degree (s). In most passenger cars, the ratio is between 12:1 and 20:1. For example, if one complete turn of the steering wheel, 360 degrees, causes the wheels to turn 24 degrees, the ratio is then 360:24 = 15:1. A higher steering ratio means that the steering wheel is turned more to get the wheels turning, but it will be easier to turn the steering wheel. A lower steering ratio means that the steering wheel is turned less to get the wheels turning, but it will be harder to turn the steering wheel. Larger and heavier vehicles will often have a higher steering ratio, which will make the steering wheel easier to turn. If a truck had a low steering ratio, it would be very hard to turn the steering wheel."

Examples include such often referred to measures as return on investment (ROI), return on assets (ROA), and debt-to-equity, to name just three. These ratios are the result of dividing one account balance or financial measurement with another. Usually these measurements or account balances are found on one of the company's financial statements—balance sheet, income statement, cashflow statement, and/or statement of changes in owner's equity. Financial ratios can provide small business owners and managers with a valuable tool with which to measure their progress against predetermined internal goals, a certain competitor, or the overall industry. In addition, tracking various ratios over time is a powerful means of identifying trends in their early stages. Ratios are also used by bankers, investors, and business analysts to assess a company's financial status. Ratios are calculated by dividing one number by another, total sales divided by number of employees, for example. Ratios enable business owners to examine the relationships between items and measure that relationship. They are simple to calculate, easy to use, and provide business owners with insight into what is happening within their business, insights that are not always apparent upon review of the financial statements alone."

To gauge this ability, the current ratio considers the current total assets of a company (both liquid and illiquid) relative to that company’s current total liabilities. The formula for calculating a company’s current ratio is: Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities The current ratio is called “current” because, unlike some other liquidity ratios, it incorporates all current assets and liabilities. The current ratio is also known as the working capital ratio.

As such, current ratio can be used to make a rough estimate of a company’s financial health. The current ratio can give a sense of the efficiency of a company's operating cycle or its ability to turn its product into cash. Companies that have trouble getting paid on their receivables or that have high inventory turnover can run into liquidity problems if they are unable to alleviate their obligations.

In the context of an asset, it implies convertibility of the same, ultimately, into Cash. It has two dimensions time and risk. The time dimension of liquidity is concerned with the speed with which an asset can be converted into Cash. Risk dimension is concerned with the degree of certainty with which an asset can be converted into Cash without any sacrifice in its book value. Viewed from this angle, all assets will have a degree of liquidity and assets that comprise of cash and ‘near cash’ items are most liquid assets. ADVERTISEMENTS: In the context of a firm, however, liquidity means its potential ability to meet obligations. In the opinion of Solomon, E. and Springle, J., whenever one speaks of a firm’s liquidity, he tries to measure the firm’s ability to meet expected and unexpected Cash requirements, expand its assets, reduce its liabilities or cover any operating losses. Financial position of firms is considered to be good enough provided they have adequate liquidity. Measurement: The liquidity is measured with the help of: (a) Absolute Terms, i.e. by way of Working Capital (b) Relative Terms, i.e. by way of Ratio Analysis (a) Absolute Terms i.e. by Way of Working Capital: ADVERTISEMENTS: Usually, the amount of Working Capital is considered as an indicator of liquidity position."

Comparing previous time periods to current operations allows analysts to track changes in the business. In general, a higher liquidity ratio indicates that a company is more liquid and has better coverage of outstanding debts.

Liquid current assets are current assets which can be quickly converted to cash without any significant decrease in their value. Liquid current assets typically include cash, marketable securities and receivables. Quick ratio is expressed as a number instead of a percentage. Quick ratio is a stricter measure of liquidity of a company than its current ratio. While current ratio compares the total current assets to total current liabilities, quick ratio compares cash and near-cash current assets with current liabilities. Since near-cash current assets are less than total current assets, quick ratio is lower than current ratio unless all current assets are liquid. Quick ratio is most useful where the proportion of illiquid current assets to total current assets is high. However, quick ratio is less conservative than cash ratio, another important liquidity parameter. Formula Quick ratio is calculated by dividing liquid current assets by total current liabilities."

An advantage of quick breads is their ability to be prepared quickly and reliably, without requiring the time-consuming skilled labor and the climate control needed for traditional yeast breads. Quick breads include many cakes, brownies and cookies —as well as banana bread, beer bread, biscuits, cornbread, muffins, pancakes, scones, and soda bread. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Leavening process3 Mixing methods4 Dough consistency5 See also6 References7 Further reading History [ edit]\"\"Quick bread\"\" most probably originated in the United States at the end of the eighteenth century. Before the creation of quick bread, baked goods were leavened either with yeast or by mixing dough with eggs. [ 2]The discovery or rediscovery of chemical leavening agents and their widespread military, commercial, and home use in the United States dates back to 1846 with the introduction of commercial baking soda in New York, by Church and Dwight of \"\" Arm & Hammer \"\" fame. This development was extended in 1856 by the introduction of commercial baking powder in Massachusetts, although perhaps the best known form of baking powder is \"\" Calumet \"\", first introduced in Hammond, Indiana and West Hammond, Illinois (later Calumet City, Illinois) in 1889. Both forms of food-grade chemical leaveners are still being produced under their original names, although not within the same corporate structure. During the American Civil War (1861-1865), the demand for portable and quickly-made food was high, while skilled labor for traditional breadmaking was scarce. This encouraged the adoption of bread which was rapidly made and leavened with baking soda, instead of yeast. ["

"text": "Roasted Tomatillo or Green Tomato Salsa {to can or freeze}Pin Share Tweet Stumble Use up your garden produce with an easy & flavorful roasted tomatillo or green tomato salsa that you can preserve by canning or freezing. This roasted tomatillo or green tomato salsa is SO good – I love having it on hand as another option along with our regular, favorite canned red tomato salsa for appetizers and southwestern meals. Do you grow or buy tomatillos when they’re in season? How about green tomatoes? If you grow tomatoes at all, you will have green tomatoes at the end of the season and this roasted salsa is one of the best ways I know of to make use of those unripe tomatoes. It really is equally good with either fruit!MY LATEST VIDEOSSalsa is one of the best things you can have in your pantry for quick meals and snacks – it really has saved us many times from the drive-through. Every time we’re in a rush, or late coming home and really hungry, and I think grabbing some food along the way is a good idea, I remember that we always have chips, cheese and salsa and sometimes tortillas. It takes about 10 minutes to make nachos or quesadillas with salsa as our vegetables. Of course it’s also great topping more involved meals like tacos, enchiladas and salads of grilled chicken, beans and guacamole. And that’s another reason to love having homemade salsa in your pantry – it works for so many things, right?"

"text": "Urinary Incontinence Urinary incontinence is the loss of control over urination that affects more than 15 million Americans, particularly women and the elderly. The condition exacts a considerable toll on quality of life, interfering with work, social activities, and sex. Many people who suffer from urinary incontinence are too embarrassed to seek help or think that the condition is just part of the aging process. In the majority of cases, urinary incontinence can be cured or controlled. Causes Symptoms Risk Factors Diagnosis Prevention and Screening Treatment Prognosis Request an appointment online or call us at 843-792-1414. Causes In urinary incontinence, the organs and muscles that govern urination fail to work properly. Your bladder relaxes as it fills with urine produced by your kidneys. The bladder stores urine until it is full. Messages are then relayed to your brain, which lets you know you need to urinate. At this point, you can decide to hold in the urine by tightening your urinary sphincter—the muscle that controls the opening from your bladder to the tube through which urine leaves your body (the urethra)—or let it out by relaxing your sphincter."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Muscarinic)navigation search Amanita muscaria, the mushroom from which muscarine was isolated. Acetylcholine - the natural agonist of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Muscarine - an agonist used to distinguish between these two classes of receptors. Not normally found in the body. Atropine - an antagonist. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, or m ACh Rs, are acetylcholine receptors that form G protein-coupled receptor complexes in the cell membranes of certain neurons [1] and other cells. They play several roles, including acting as the main end-receptor stimulated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic fibers in the parasympathetic nervous system. Muscarinic receptors are so named because they are more sensitive to muscarine than to nicotine. [ 2] Their counterparts are nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (n ACh Rs), receptor ion channels that are also important in the autonomic nervous system. Many drugs and other substances (for example pilocarpine and scopolamine) manipulate these two distinct receptors by acting as selective agonists or antagonists. ["

"text": "Overactive Bladder Medication Side Effects Overactive bladder is characterized by sudden urges to urinate, having to go more than eight to 10 times per day, and episodes of incontinence or urine leakage. If you have symptoms of overactive bladder, it is important to see your primary care physician or general internist to get an accurate diagnosis. The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) explains the function and malfunctioning of the bladder. When the bladder is functioning normally, the muscles in the bladder wall remain relaxed, allowing the bladder to expand and store urine. During urination, the muscles contract, the bladder sphincters open, and urine is voluntarily released. People who have overactive bladder syndrome (OAB) experience “urgency”, which is the sudden, strong urge to urinate. If the urge cannot be suppressed, the involuntary leakage of urine, or urge incontinence, results. Other symptoms of OAB include the need to urinate many times during the day (urinary frequency) and at night (nocturia). A common cause of OAB is the overactivity of the detrusor muscle, found in the bladder wall. Treatment includes the use of anticholinergic drugs that by blocking the receptors that mediate bladder contraction."

"text": "\"Don't Dismiss Drugs That Cause Dizziness Posted by Kerrie Denner May. 02, 2013 | 8:35am Some reactions to medications seem so inconsequential that doctors rarely mention them. Dizziness is just such a side effect. On the surface, it seems like a minor problem. This might be because it's so common. Hundreds of frequently prescribed medications cause dizziness or vertigo. As the saying goes, familiarity breeds contempt. In reality, though, dizziness can be a killer. Medications that make older people unsteady on their feet can lead to falls and fractures that may prove deadly. Here is one reader's story: \"\"Six years ago, my 76-year-old mother became very dizzy because her blood pressure went too low. Her doctor wouldn't change her blood pressure medicine until after I found her passed out on the floor with her breakfast scattered around her."

Nephrology Unit Uppsala University Children’s Hospital Uppsala Sweden2. Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children London UKOriginal Article First Online: 15 November 2007323Downloads22Citations Abstract The anticholinergic drug tolterodine has been suggested to be useful in therapy-resistant enuresis. Imipramine has a proven efficiency in unselected enuretic patients, but due to its side-effect profile it is only indicated, if at all, in therapy-resistant cases. We therefore compared these two drugs to placebo. Twenty-seven children with enuresis resistant to the alarm and to desmopressin in monotherapy were given placebo, tolterodine 1–2 mg, and imipramine 25–50 mg at bedtime for 5 weeks each in a randomised, double-blind, crossover fashion. The number of wet nights during the last 2 weeks of each treatment period was compared. One patient became spontaneously dry at the start of the study, and one dropped out due to side effects. Among the remaining 25 children, the number of wet nights during placebo, tolterodine and imipramine treatment were 11.0 ± 3.9, 10.4 ± 3.9 and 7.8 ± 5.1, respectively ( p < 0.001). Imipramine was significantly better than both placebo ( p = 0.001) and tolterodine ( p = 0.006)."

All medicines – both those prescribed by your doctor and any you buy over the counter – must be checked, as some can increase the risk of sudden death. For people with LQTS there are specific medications that can have a serious effect by further prolonging the QT interval. We give a list of these medicines below. This list includes drugs that can stimulate and irritate the heart by causing adrenaline-like effects. You must always check with your GP or cardiologist before taking any new medication, as this list will change with time. In people with Brugada Syndrome the number and range of drugs that may make the condition worse is unknown and caution must be used. Antiarrhythmics, beta-blockers and some antidepressants are known to interact badly with it.

D. A. M. Medications A number of medications are available that increase sphincter or pelvic muscle strength or relax the bladder, improving the ability to hold more urine. Medications are prescribed for all kinds of incontinence, but they are generally most helpful for urge incontinence. Medications Used for Urge Incontinence Anticholinergics. Anticholinergics work in the following ways: Inhibit the involuntary contractions of the bladder Increase capacity of the bladder Delay the initial urge to void These drugs can produce small but significant improvements. However, the medications have not been rigorously compared with behavioral methods, such as bladder training and Kegel exercises, which are very effective for most cases of urge incontinence. Anticholinergics can have distressing side effects, notably dry mouth. Anticholinergics include: Propantheline (Pro Banthine). This drug used to be the most commonly prescribed anticholinergic, but has been largely replaced by newer anticholinergics with fewer side effects.

These damages may cause serious health conditions such as heart disease, heart failure, a heart attack, stroke, arrhythmias, kidney failure, glaucoma, and other problems. In addition with pharmacological therapy, lifestyle changes will also help to control blood pressure. These changes include a diet, low in fat and salt, not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising (at least 30 minutes most days), and using alcohol in moderation.

"text": "Share |MEDICATIONS After Bariatric Surgery Bariatric surgery changes many aspects of one’s life, and medications are no exception. Most patients will be prescribed certain medications and supplements after their surgery, but the surgery can also affect what medications are safe to take for other reasons and how you take them. The Type of Operation Matters Because the Roux-en-Y operation bypasses the lower stomach and a majority of the small intestine, foods are slowly digested and only partially absorbed after this surgery. Some medications are not well absorbed, while others can irritate the small pouch and its connection to the Roux limb, causing marginal ulcers. Most importantly, patients are at risk for nutrient deficiencies, so appropriate supplementation is necessary. The duodenal switch produces even more malabsorption and requires strict post-operative supplementation. These patients are specifically prone to protein deficiency, and they should take supplemental protein as well as vitamins and minerals. Operations that restrict food intake without bypassing the bowel, such as gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy and vertical banded gastroplasty, do not impair food absorption, so those patients do not require strict supplementation. They still need to take proton pump inhibitors (such as Nexium or Prilosec) to decrease reflux and protect the small gastric pouch. Due to rapid weight loss, ursodiol (Actigall) is also recommended to prevent gallstone formation."

Joe Graedon January 9, 2008 Default 285 Comments Metoprolol is available as immediate-release metoprolol tartrate ( Lopressor) or extended release metoprolol succinate ( Toprol-XL ). It is also found combined with hydrochlorothiazide (as Dutoprol in the metoprolol succinate form and Lopressor HCT in the metoprolol tartrate form). Overview Metoprolol belongs to the group of heart/blood pressure drugs known as beta-blockers. That means they work partly by blunting the action of adrenaline, the body’s natural fight-or-flight chemical. People normally respond to stressful situations with a rapid pulse, a pounding heart and an increase in blood pressure. Metoprolol helps block such reactions by slowing the heart rate and relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. This medication is usually prescribed for high blood pressure, chest pain, heart attacks, and prevention of a second heart attack. The extended release metoprolol is also used in combination with other medications to treat heart failure. Although the FDA has not specifically approved its use for other purposes, doctors sometimes prescribe it to treat irregular heart rhythms or tremors and to prevent migraine headaches."

The medication may also be used for other reasons, such as treatment for migraines or anxiety. Metoprolol is part of a class of medicines called beta-adrenergic blocking agents, or beta blockers for short. The drug helps to block a specific type of beta receptor called beta-1 receptors. By doing this, metoprolol causes the reverse effect of stress hormones, such as adrenaline (epinephrine). It decreases heart rate and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as the workload of the heart, meaning that the heart requires less blood and oxygen to work properly."

Now we add an example of a popular Brand Name drug equivalent to the Brands of Canada and the US. If it doesn't look familiar, don't worry. We will resolve that problem after addition of the Generic names on the following pages. Now with the addition of the Mexican Brand name drug list to that of Canada and the USA, the opportunities for error become more apparent. The more names, the greater the chance for a mistake. Pretty simple. The basic problem is that Spanish is a Romance language, and we in Canada and the States speak a combination of northern European tongues."

Early symptoms that may indicate low blood sugar levels include dizziness, sweating, and extreme hunger. Since low blood sugar levels can cause serious or life-threatening complications, it is important to know the possible signs and what to do if they occur. Your Guide to Healthy Living With Diabetes Get tips, read articles, and learn about healthy living with diabetes, in-depth, from e Med TV's experts. Click here to learn more >Does Metoprolol Cause Low Blood Sugar? Metoprolol ( Lopressor ®, Toprol XL ®) belongs to a group of medications known as beta blockers. Low blood sugar levels have been reported in people taking such drugs. Normal doses of metoprolol probably do not significantly increase the risk of low blood sugar for most people. However, Toprol -XL can make low blood sugar less noticeable (which can be dangerous, especially for people with diabetes ). This potential side effect of beta blockers is more common in infants and children, while fasting (such as before surgery), after prolonged exercise, or in people with kidney disease or diabetes."

C.. It is popular due to its night clubs, bars, cafes, art galleries, and shops. Understand [ edit]Pierre Charles L'Enfant's original plan for Washington, D. C. included a number of grand boulevards, radiating out and intersecting with one another in a way that would create public squares and green space. One such circle, Dupont Circle, lies at the intersection of Connecticut Ave, which emanates from the White House and runs roughly north-south, New Hampshire Ave, which runs diagonally, and Massachusetts Ave which runs roughly east-west. The Dupont Circle area remained largely undeveloped until after the Civil War, when demand for housing from returning soldiers and freed slaves spurred additional development in D. C. Construction of the traffic circle, originally called Pacific Circle, began in 1871. In 1884, the circle was renamed after Civil War Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont, partial heir to the Du Pont family fortune, and a bronze statue of him was added. The statue was replaced in 1921 with the large marble fountain that remains to this day. The fountain was designed by Daniel Chester French and Henry Bacon, also the designers of the Lincoln Memorial, and features creatures that symbolize sea, the stars and the wind. It is now a popular gathering spot, with many places to sit. In the early 1900s, the area became a popular place for wealthy Washingtonians to build their mansions, most notably on Massachusetts Ave. In the late 1940s, a tunnel was built beneath Dupont Circle as part of a Capital Transit streetcar project."

Evan Gottesman July 4, 2015Tweet Share Share When it comes to air power, it’s no secret that the United States and the West have often held an edge over Russia. This dates at least as far back to World War II, when the United States and Britain were allied with Russia. While Russia supplied much of the manpower that ultimately defeated Nazi Germany, it was the United States and UK that took the lead in the strategic bombing campaigns against Germany. These trends largely continued during the Cold War, when the Warsaw Pact was numerically superior to NATO but the latter held the technological advantage, including in terms of aircraft. And even today, Russia’s Air Force doesn’t yet boast anything comparable to the latest American fifth-generation fighter jets like the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF).

Watch The Video131,939Promoted Content The fact that Russia hasn’t reached parity with the most advanced air force in the world should not detract from the fact that Moscow has produced some formidable aircraft over the years. Moreover, Moscow has proved willing to sell its aircraft to nations both large and small that the United States and Europe have shunned."

"text": "\"The Problem of Citizenship in American History By Annelise Orleck, Professor of History, Dartmouth College Who Deserves To Be Called an American Citizen? Most textbook histories of the U. S. portray a vibrant participatory democracy with a long tradition of extending citizenship rights broadly across an unusually diverse population. Some of these texts acknowledge that—at the time when the Constitution was being written—only property-owning white men were considered full citizens and that they constituted a relatively small percentage of the total population of the new United States. From that time forward, however, most U. S. history textbooks trace a progressive arc over the next 200 years during which citizenship rights were extended to an ever broader cross-section of Americans. In the 1830s, the vote was extended to all white men, in 1868 to black men, in 1920 to women, in 1972 to eighteen year olds, and so on. In many texts, the progressive expansion of citizenship rights seems almost to have a life of its own, leading inexorably toward a fully egalitarian present day, when all who reside in the U. S. are entitled to the same rights and protections. There is truth in these arguments. The U. S. has, at various points in its history, led the world in the breadth of its extension of full citizenship rights, and the past 220 years have seen dramatic expansion in the numbers and kinds of people who have access to those rights. But it is not true that expansions of citizenship rights came easily or naturally. There were stark inequities enshrined in U. S. law and custom from the earliest days of the republic that excluded large swaths of the population from enjoying the full rights and protections of citizenship."

SHEAR, RICHARD PÉREZ-PEÑA and ALAN BLINDER AUG. 26, 2015A video still of Alison Parker, left, interviewing Vicki Gardner, a local official, just before both were shot during a live broadcast. Ms. Parker and the cameraman Adam Ward were killed. ROANOKE, Va. — He was a fired television reporter with a history of conflicts at work and rage apparently stoked by racial grievances. And when he sought revenge on Wednesday, gunning down two former colleagues, he used the tools of social media to ensure that his crime was broadcast live, recorded from multiple angles and posted online. Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, identified by the authorities as the gunman, waited until Alison Parker and Adam Ward, young journalists at WDBJ in Roanoke, were on air, then killed them while recording on his own video camera. Mr. Flanagan shot himself in the head hours later, the authorities said, but as the chase for him was on, he wrote about the shooting on Twitter, uploaded his video to Facebook and sent a manifesto to ABC News that spoke admiringly of mass killers and said that as a black, gay man he had faced discrimination and sexual harassment. The shooting and the horrifying images it produced marked a new chapter in the intersection of video, violence and social media. The day began with the most mundane of early-morning interviews. Ms. Parker and Mr. Ward were working on a story for WDBJ about the 50th anniversary of Smith Mountain Lake, a reservoir tucked among farms and rolling mountains that is popular with anglers, kayakers and sunbathers."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:34In 2014, the popular feline character Hello Kitty courted controversy when the company who created her, Sanrio, insisted the character was not actually a cat but a British girl living in London with her family.“ She is not a cat ,” anthropologist Christine R. Yano told the LA Times when discussing how Sanrio corrected her portrayal of Hello Kitty for a retrospective. “ She’s never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it’s called Charmmy Kitty. ”The idea was said to have come from a period during the 1970s when many Japanese people, particularly women, visited and fell in love with exotic British culture.

Mr Bolt confirmed to The Australian that he had received a 'string of death threats' less than 24 hours after he wrote a newspaper column on Australia’s Grand Mufti, Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammad. The column, published on Wednesday, referenced a recent letter written by the Grand Mufti, warning that criticism of a gay-hating imam (an Islamic leadership position) was likely to incite terrorist attacks.+5Political commentator Andrew Bolt has revealed he has received death threats after a column he wrote for the Herald Sun, referencing a letter written by Australia’s Grand Mufti, Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammad The Grand Mufti was referencing recent alleged anti-gay comments made by Sheik Shady Alsuleiman. In response, Mr Bolt wrote in his column that One Nation senator-elect Pauline Hanson was right to feel threatened by Islam in Australia. He said the Grand Mufti's letter 'conveyed an implied and sinister warning: that to criticise a Muslim cleric is to criticise Islam itself and risk death'.+5 +5Mr Bolt (left) revealed the death threats during his program on Sky News with One Nation leader and senator-elect Pauline Hanson (right)He also criticised Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's decision to hold an Iftar dinner during Ramadam for the Grand Mufti and other Muslim leaders.

' I spent some of my day moving my kids out of my home after yet another death threat from an Islamist support of the Islamic State,' Mr Bolt said.+5Mr Bolt referenced a letter by the Grand Mufti Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohammad (pictured) which said that to criticise a Muslim leader, even one that shared anti-gay views, was likely to incite terrorists attacks+5In his letter, the Grand Mufti was referencing alleged anti-gay comments made by Islamic preacher Sheik Shady Alsuleiman (pictured)While speaking to Ms Hanson on air, Mr Bolt said Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane should address the hate preachers instead of attacking Ms Hanson. Earlier this week, Mr Soutphommasane said Ms Hanson's comments on Islam could lead to xenophobia and violence. ' Two of my colleagues have had to move house completely, and Tim Soutphommasane, if he’s really worried about hate preachers, why doesn’t he say something about these hate preachers instead of attacking you?'

( She added her second surname after marrying Dave Goodwin, manager of New York City restaurant Gramercy Tavern .) And while her character has remained nameless in the fast food chain’s TV commercials, it’s not a far stretch to assume she’s Wendy, the freckled little girl with red braids on the company’s logo, all grown up. Unlike Wendy, though, who was based on founder Dave Thomas’s real-life daughter, Smith Goodwin isn’t a natural redhead. Her dye job, from dark blonde to an orangey red that rivals Carrot Top, has ”given me a ton of exposure,” she told Canada’s Metro News earlier this year. ” You have to be forever grateful and very flattered when a company will trust you with their brand.

Wendy's is on top of this triple-meat heap, operating restaurants around the world. While the saga told of other fast food giants often starts with a single local restaurant and a secret chicken or shake recipe, Wendy's, with its upscale square burgers, seemed conceived from the start as an infinitely expandable franchise. Dave Thomas opened his first Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers in downtown Columbus in November, 1969. Before launching Wendy's, 35-year old Dave spent his career studying the fast food chain business from the inside out. He worked with Colonel Sanders at one point, and restored a handful of KFC outlets to profitability. His Wendy's concept broke new ground for the eat-and-run crowd -- though a little more expensive than the competition, its fresh 100% domestic ground beef burgers, made-to-order, quickly found a salivating share of the market.

World's First Wendy's (Gone)Columbus, Ohio Ohio is history's not-so-ancient Cradle of Fast Food, where many a restaurant chain traces its 20th century origins (Burger Boy, Sisters Chicken and Biscuits, RAX, Bob Evans). Wendy's is on top of this triple-meat heap, operating restaurants around the world. While the saga told of other fast food giants often starts with a single local restaurant and a secret chicken or shake recipe, Wendy's, with its upscale square burgers, seemed conceived from the start as an infinitely expandable franchise. Dave Thomas opened his first Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers in downtown Columbus in November, 1969. Before launching Wendy's, 35-year old Dave spent his career studying the fast food chain business from the inside out. He worked with Colonel Sanders at one point, and restored a handful of KFC outlets to profitability. His Wendy's concept broke new ground for the eat-and-run crowd -- though a little more expensive than the competition, its fresh 100% domestic ground beef burgers, made-to-order, quickly found a salivating share of the market. Original Test Griddle \"\"used to cook the signature quarter pound square hamburger made from fresh ground beef. \"\" Thomas named the business after his daughter Melinda \"\"Wendy\"\" Thomas (a nickname coined by her brothers and sisters)."

Studying and working with various electronic musicians and technicians at the city's Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, she oversaw the development of the Moog synthesizer, then a relatively new and unknown keyboard instrument designed by Robert Moog. Carlos came to prominence with Switched-On Bach (1968), an album of music by Johann Sebastian Bach performed on a Moog synthesizer which helped popularize its use in the 1970s and won her three Grammy Awards. Its commercial success led to several more keyboard albums from Carlos of varying genres including further synthesized classical music adaptations and experimental and ambient music. She composed the score to two Stanley Kubrick films, A Clockwork Orange (1971) and The Shining (1980), and also Tron (1982) for Walt Disney Productions.

The film is based on Stephen King 's 1977 novel of the same name. The Shining is about Jack Torrance ( Jack Nicholson ), an aspiring writer and recovering alcoholic, who accepts a position as the off-season caretaker of the isolated historic Overlook Hotel in the Colorado Rockies. Wintering over with Jack is his wife Wendy Torrance ( Shelley Duvall) and young son Danny Torrance ( Danny Lloyd ), who possesses \"\"the shining\"\", an array of psychic abilities that allow Danny to see the hotel's horrific past. The hotel's current cook, Dick Hallorann ( Scatman Crothers ), also has this ability and is able to telepathically communicate with Danny. The hotel had a previous winter caretaker who went crazy and killed his wife, two daughters and then himself. After a winter storm leaves the Torrances snowbound, Jack's sanity deteriorates due to the influence of the supernatural forces that inhabit the hotel, placing his wife and son in danger. Supporting roles are provided by Barry Nelson, Philip Stone, Joe Turkel, Anne Jackson, and Tony Burton. Production took place almost exclusively at EMI Elstree Studios with sets strongly based on real locations. Kubrick often worked with a small crew which allowed him to do many takes, sometimes to the exhaustion of the actors and staff."

A STAFF REPORT FROM THE STRAIGHT DOPE SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARDDecember 17, 2002Dear Straight Dope: Here's a rumor (and by rumor I mean one of those E-mail-lore things): The name Wendy was made-up for the book Peter Pan. As I have a friend so named, is this true? Craig Cormier Czarcasm replies: One simple click here shows us that the name Wendy was invented in 1973 for the \"\"Superfriends\"\" cartoon on ABC, the name Marvin having been previously invented by Mel Blanc in the 50s for a series of Bugs Bunny cartoons. Next question? All kidding aside, J. M. Barrie did not invent the name Wendy for his 1904 play Peter Pan, the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up (the book form of the story, Peter and Wendy, was published in 1911). He did popularize it, though. Barrie apparently was inspired to use the name by a young friend named Margaret Henley, the daughter of writer William Henley. Margaret, who died around 1895 at age 6, called Barrie her \"\"friendy.\"\" Since she couldn’t pronounce her R s at the time, the word came out \"\"fwendy,\"\" or \"\"fwendy-wendy,\"\" in some versions of the story."

"text": "\"For other uses, see Flogging a dead horse (disambiguation). A man sitting on a dead horse in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Flogging a dead horse (alternatively beating a dead horse, or beating a dead dog in some parts of the Anglophone world) is an idiom that means to continue a particular endeavour is a waste of time as the outcome is already decided. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, [1] the first recorded use of the expression in its modern sense was by the English politician and orator John Bright, referring to the Reform Act of 1867, which called for more democratic representation in Parliament. Trying to rouse Parliament from its apathy on the issue, he said in a speech, would be like trying to flog a dead horse to make it pull a load. The Oxford English Dictionary cites The Globe, 1872, as the earliest verifiable use of flogging a dead horse, where someone is said to have \"\"rehearsed that [. . .] lively operation known as flogging a dead horse\"\". [ 2]However Jay Dillon [3] has discovered an earlier instance attributed to the same John Bright thirteen years earlier: speaking in Commons 28 March 1859, Lord Elcho ( Francis Charteris, 10th Earl of Wemyss) remarked that Bright had not been \"\"satisfied with the results of his winter campaign\"\" and that \"\"a saying was attributed to him [Bright] that he [had] found he was 'flogging a dead horse.'\"\" [ 4]Contents [ hide ]1 Earlier meaning2 \"\"To slay the slain\"\"3 References4 Further reading5 External links Earlier meaning [ edit]Some scholars claim that the phrase originated in 17th-century slang, where a \"\"dead horse\"\" was work that was paid for in advance, e.g. \"\"His land 'twas sold to pay his debts; All went that way, for a dead horse, as one would say.\"\" [ 5] This attribution confuses \"\"flogging a dead horse\"\" with an entirely different phrase: \"\"to work (for) the dead horse\"\"."

You can almost see and hear the horse steaming and stamping and smell the steaks: The winter evening settles down With smell of steaks in passageways. Six o'clock. The burnt-out ends of smoky days. And now a gusty shower wraps The grimy scraps Of withered leaves about your feet And newspapers from vacant lots;The showers beat On broken blinds and chimney-pots,And at the corner of the street A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. And then the lighting of the lamps."

We use phrases all the time without really giving their meaning a great deal of thought. You may well know that dead ringer means exact duplicate, but why is that? To a non-English speaker the two terms appear to have nothing in common. So, why dead; why ringer? ' Dead ringer' is near the top of the list of folk etymology explanations. Let's first dispense with the nonsensical idea that's sometimes put forward as the origin of this phrase, that is, that it refers to people who were prematurely buried and who pulled on bell ropes that were attached to their coffins in order to attract attention. Such people are said to be saved by the bell."

On the April 3 season six finale of The Walking Dead, Negan ( Jeffrey Dean Morgan) finally made his highly anticipated entrance onto the series. Unfortunately, as the loyal comic readers know, that means we lost one of our beloved survivors — but WHO? All roads have led us here, walkers stalkers. As the season six finale begins, we find Morgan strolling through an open space alone, passing a sign that says, “you are alive,” and then finding a horse who he immediately refers to as his friend. Okay, typical Morgan. Shortly after we find the Savior that followed Morgan and Rick into the field following horse tracks and playing with Carol’s rosary. Not good.

Those assumptions include believing that all bullies are loners or lack self-esteem. In fact, the reasons behind bullying can run the gamut from lack of impulse control and anger management issues to revenge and a longing to fit in. Here is an overview of the top eight reasons why kids bully others. Power Teens who want to be in control or have power are prone to bullying. They only interact with others when it is on their terms. If things do not go their way, then they resort to bullying. This is especially true among mean girls who often thrive on power and control."

It's not always easy to know how and when to step in as a parent. For starters, most kids use technology differently than we do. They're playing games online and sending texts on their phones at an early age, and most teens have devices that keep them constantly connected to the Internet.

It is aggressive behavior that intends to hurt, threaten or frighten another person. An imbalance of power between the aggressor and the victim is often involved. Bullying occurs in a variety of contexts, such as schools, workplaces, political or military settings, and others. Laws and policies governing bullying vary by state and entity. As of March 2007, 30 states have enacted harassment, intimidation and bullying statutes. In 2007, Iowa enacted anti-harassment and anti-bullying legislation. During the 2005-2006 legislative sessions, eleven states - Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia - enacted new policies, and four states - Arkansas, Connecticut, Illinois and Vermont - amended or expanded statutes.. The following is an example of a school policy defining bullying: For the purpose of this policy, “bullying” means any physical act or gesture or any verbally, written or electronically communicated expression that”A.

It is a negative human condition that has evolved along with the mind and psyche. Bullying started with kids picking on each others or parents believing that they are teaching their kids “discipline” by beating them. Adults used to believe that kids fought only to be “best friends in the end.” Bullying also resulted from conforming to prejudiced social norms like gender stereotyping of men and women. The idea of “ boys will be boys ” and “girls are catty” have given way to accepting unacceptable negative social behavior.

"text": "Is Cyber Bullying More Harmful Than Traditional Bullying? October 9, 2012 • By Jen Wilson, Good Therapy.org Correspondent1 0 0 0 0 >Cyber bullying has become more common with advances in technology. Messages can be posted on social networking websites, and pictures can be downloaded, altered, and made available to the world in seconds. Although there has been abundant research into the consequences of cyber bullying and traditional bullying, little has been done to determine which type may cause more psychological damage. It is well established that bullying itself—the act of terrorizing, intimidating, and ridiculing another through verbal or physical acts—can have numerous deleterious effects. Those who endure bullying are at increased risk for internalizing problems such as anxiety, depression, and suicide ideation. Understanding how each type of bullying impacts young people is of critical importance in order to target those most vulnerable and help them deal with the ramifications. To get a better idea of the effects of cyber bullying in comparison to traditional bullying, Sheri Bauman of the University of Arizona’s College of Education recently conducted a study asking college students to rate their levels of distress based on hypothetical cyber and traditional bullying scenarios. The scenarios were similar in nature and differed only in delivery. Bauman discovered that three main bullying themes emerged, including generalized bullying, name calling, and sexual victimization through explicit sexual images."

Cyberbullying Facts, Cyberbullying Examples & Bullying is a prevention education article and this webpage resulting from my research conducted in October 2014, along with input from speaking with parents, educators and pediatric professionals. Cyberbullying is one typology I’ve included in my Information Age darkside of human consciousness construct called i Predator. Of the seven typologies in i Predator, cyberbullying is the only profile that requires the aggressor and target to be minors. For semantic clarity and in all my published works, cyberbullying will remain an exclusively pediatric issue until consensus includes all age ranges. Although I have always conceptualized cyberbullying as applicable to any age range, present running definitions in America restrict cyberbullying to minors. The adult forms of cyberbullying are called cyberstalking, cyber harassment, defamation, libel and slander. Each of these examples of cyber attacks resemble cyberbullying, but have slightly different meanings. Whatever conditions are given to describe child on child online abuse, the core constructs remain the same and rooted in pediatric needs for power, control and recognition. As you will quickly learn from reading my cyberbullying tactics list, children have designed cyberbullying into both a sinister and industrious science of online abuse and deception."

I'm thinking about covering school shooting and things like that. What do you think? Thank you1 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Talk about online bullying. That's a major point a lot of people don't think about when someone mentions bullying. People typically think about kids making fun of each other in school-- the problem is much more extreme, unfortunately. Discuss: - Online Bullying-- Why might an individual bully through a computer?"

For the Wikipedia guidance essay, see Wikipedia: Cyberbullying. Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. Cyberbullying and Cyberharassment are also known as online bullying. It has become increasingly common, especially among teenagers. [ 1] Cyberbullying is when someone, typically teens, bully or harass others on social media sites. Cyberbullying allows bullies to easily and anonymously harass victims online. They do this by flaming, harassing, outing, exclusion, impersonation, and stalking [2]. Harmful bullying behavior can include posting rumors, threats, sexual remarks, a victims' personal information, or pejorative labels (i.e., hate speech ). [ 3] Bullying or harassment can be identified by repeated behavior and an intent to harm. ["

"text": "10.1 Defining Aggression Learning Objectives Define aggression and violence as social psychologists do. Differentiate emotional from instrumental aggression. Aggression is a word that we use every day to characterize the behavior of others and perhaps even of ourselves. We say that people are aggressive if they yell at or hit each other, if they cut off other cars in traffic, or even when they smash their fists on the table in frustration. But other harmful acts, such as the injuries that sports players receive during a rough game or the killing of enemy soldiers in a war might not be viewed by everyone as aggression. Because aggression is so difficult to define, social psychologists (as well as many other people, including lawyers) judges and politicians, have spent a great deal of time trying to determine what should and should not be considered aggression. Doing so forces us to make use of the processes of causal attribution to help us determine the reasons for the behavior of others. Social psychologists define aggression as behavior that is intended to harm another individual who does not wish to be harmed (Baron & Richardson, 1994). Baron, R. A., & Richardson, D. R. (1994). Human aggression (2nd ed.)."

"text": "Cause & Effect Essay: Bullying Most people know that bullying is wrong. Calling someone names has absolutely no beneficial purpose. Moreover, hitting someone makes a bully feel good in the moment while doing permanent damage to the person being victimized. With the Internet, people now have even more opportunities to bully through cyberbullying. This includes sending crude pictures, posting fake web pages, or tweeting slanderous messages. Cyberbullying has subsequently led to a rise in a completely new kind of bullying. One of the effects of bullying is that it can change the victim’s personality. It can cause people who are normally confident and happy to become self-conscious, shy, and unsure. Additionally, victims of bullying may also become sad or depressed. Their confidence might completely disappear, keeping them from trying new things or trusting people."

Bullies seek out those who are construed as different and harass and ostracize them because it makes them feel more powerful. Words alone can do a lot of damage, that old saying \"\"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me\"\" is untrue, words hurt; possibly more than any physical damage could. Words are not the only way bullies hurt they do use violence and intimidation these are common themes that we are seeing spread like wildfire through our school systems. Bullying is becoming a huge issue in our schools our children are afraid to be different, afraid to be themselves. The bullying that has been most in the news lately is that of young gay and lesbian students and too often the result is suicide. Following the infamous 1999 Columbine High School shootings, in which two students, both victims of bullying, went on killing spree through their school (Associated Press). Several schools have enacted zero tolerance policies towards planned, or even implied, violence within schools while this seems to be a good policy it also can effectively allow bullies to continue their harassment of weaker students. It does not allow the bullied student to ever fight back. Bullying can lead to emotional problems such as depression, low self-esteem and even suicide it can also lead to other harmful effects such as what happened at Columbine."

"text": "\"Researchers and Schools Diverge in Definitions of Bullying By Evie Blad October 7, 2014Printer-Friendly Email Article Reprints Comments One of the biggest challenges for those who seek to end bullying among students has been defining exactly what \"\"bullying\"\" is. Even as efforts to address the behavior have moved to the front burner of child well-being initiatives in recent years, researchers and educators say that major studies have relied on inconsistent definitions and methods of measuring its prevalence. Some focus on the essential interpersonal dynamics of bullying—including an imbalance of power between the perpetrator and the victim—while others seek to be more objective by focusing on a list of common bullying behaviors. And if researchers can't agree on exactly what the problem is, they can't help identify effective solutions for K-12 educators, who are increasingly facing new accountability measures that incorporate issues related to school climate and student behavior. Further complicating the situation, many school leaders take an \"\"I know it when I see it\"\" approach to defining the problem, or they use broader definitions for bullying than researchers do, said David Finkelhor, a sociologist and the director of the Crimes Against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, in Durham. Those types of definitions, listed in student handbooks and school policies, often encompass other forms of peer aggression, which may have different social and emotional dynamics. \"\" There's a tremendous disconnect between how the term is used colloquially by students, teachers, and parents, and how researchers and advocacy types define it,\"\" Mr. Finkelhor said. And that gap can often mean evidence-based interventions, which are based on narrower definitions used in research, fall short of expectations in schools because they aren't designed to address the problems administrators expect them to fix, he said. Getting on the Same Page Even the two largest federal surveys on bullying—by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U. S. Department of Education—use very different language to ask students if they've been a victim of bullying. While the CDC provides a short definition, the Education Department's method asks about a list of behaviors."

"text": "Bullying in Nursing September 6, 2017Nurses have a lot of responsibility: They must provide patient care, navigate the confusing requirements of the healthcare system, stay up to date on the latest techniques in nursing, and maintain a productive working relationship with other nurses. And sometimes they confront bullying in the workplace, not just from patients and their families but also from other nurses. What Is the Definition of Bullying In Nursing? The American Nurses Association (ANA) defines bullying in nursing as “repeated, unwanted harmful actions intended to humiliate, offend and cause distress in the recipient. ”According to the Workplace Bullying Institute, the act of bullying is meant to control a targeted individual and is similar to domestic violence. Bullying can intensify when others become involved either voluntarily or through coercion. When personal agendas and mean-spirited behavior become commonplace, the working atmosphere turns unpleasant thus compromising an employee’s ability to focus on their job. What Are the Adverse Effects of Bullying in Nursing? Bullying in nursing threatens the safety of patients, is costly to healthcare organizations, increases occupational stress and causes high staff turnover. With the nursing shortage affecting certain areas of the country, most healthcare organizations cannot afford to lose nurses to negative working conditions."

Testes The testes are located outside the abdominal cavity, suspended in a sac called the scrotum, which is between the thighs. Each of the two testis (singular) is surrounded by a tough fibrous connective tissue capsule. The word for the testes originated in the Greek and so named for its oval shape – orchis. Orchis was dubbed by Aristotle and is still the medical term used today, as in orchitis, an inflammation of the testicles. The actual word testis came from the Latin meaning to bear witness, sharing the same root word with testify. In ancient Rome, as well as in the Bible, only men could bear witness or testify in a public forum. In order to show importance to their testimony, they would hold their testicles as they spoke. An oath was declared while holding another’s testicles. Each testis is divided into about 250 smaller units called lobules."

"text": "The Male Reproductive System Scrotum The sack under the penis contains two testicles. On boys, the scrotum is small and compact, but after puberty it expands to accommodate the increasing testicle size and to provide more surface area to cool the testicles. In order for the testicles to properly produce sperm, the organs must be kept 1 to 4 degrees cooler than the body. To keep the testicles in the proper temperature range, the scrotum constantly changes size. If the temperature is too cool, the scrotum contracts, bringing the testicles closer to warmth of the body. The scrunching of the scrotum also thickens the walls of the scrotum and lessens the surface area, which minimizes the heat loss. If the temperature is too warm, the scrotum hangs loosely, bringing the testicles farther from the body. The expanded size exposes more surface area for excess heat to be dissipated. The scrotum will also draw up during physical activity, such as running or during sexual intercourse. This reflex protects the testicles from being knocked around."

"text": "Human reproductive system, organ system by which humans reproduce and bear live offspring. Provided all organs are present, normally constructed, and functioning properly, the essential features of human reproduction are (1) liberation of an ovum, or egg, at a specific time in the reproductive cycle, (2) internal fertilization of the ovum by spermatozoa, or sperm cells, (3) transport of the fertilized ovum to the uterus, or womb, (4) implantation of the blastocyst, the early embryo developed from the fertilized ovum, in the wall of the uterus, (5) formation of a placenta and maintenance of the unborn child during the entire period of gestation, (6) birth of the child and expulsion of the placenta, and (7) suckling and care of the child, with an eventual return of the maternal organs to virtually their original state. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. For this biological process to be carried out, certain organs and structures are required in both the male and the female. The source of the ova (the female germ cells) is the female ovary; that of spermatozoa (the male germ cells) is the testis. In females, the two ovaries are situated in the pelvic cavity; in males, the two testes are enveloped in a sac of skin, the scrotum, lying below and outside the abdomen. Besides producing the germ cells, or gametes, the ovaries and testes are the source of hormones that cause full development of secondary sexual characteristics and also the proper functioning of the reproductive tracts. These tracts comprise the fallopian tubes, the uterus, the vagina, and associated structures in females and the penis, the sperm channels (epididymis, ductus deferens, and ejaculatory ducts), and other related structures and glands in males. The function of the fallopian tube is to convey an ovum, which is fertilized in the tube, to the uterus, where gestation (development before birth) takes place. The function of the male ducts is to convey spermatozoa from the testis, to store them, and, when ejaculation occurs, to eject them with secretions from the male glands through the penis. Organs of the female reproductive system."

"text": "Sexual Health What Your Semen Says About Your Health Semen's unique composition is meant to optimize fertilization. By Jerry Kennard | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated February 23, 2018Share Pin Email Print Jupiterimages / Getty Images Semen is the cloudy white bodily fluid that is emitted from the urethra and out of the penis during ejaculation. It consists of mobile sperm cells (called spermatozoa) and a nutrient-rich fluid called seminal fluid. The purpose of the seminal fluid is to both transport the sperm cells and enhance their fertilization abilities. How Is Semen Produced? Sperm cells are produced in the testes, stored in the epididymis, and comprise less than 10 percent of semen—a tidbit that may surprise you. During ejaculation, a thick-walled duct called the vas deferens carries the sperm cells from the epididymis to the urethra and then outside of the body or into the vagina by means of the penis. As the sperm cells travel through the vas deferens, three different glands release mucous secretions (called the seminal fluid) that combine with the sperm cells to create semen. These three glands, often referred to as accessory sex glands are the bulbourethral glands (also called Cowper's glands), the prostate gland, and the seminal vesicles. Cowper's Glands The first portion of seminal fluid (about 5 percent) consists of secretions from the Cowper's glands."

Sexual and Reproductive Development Human beings are sexual throughout life. Sexuality encompasses more than sexual behavior - it is not only the physical, but the mental and spiritual as well. Sexuality is a core component of personality and a fundamental part of human life. While the problems usually associated with sexual behavior are real and need to be addressed, human sexuality also has significant meaning and value in each individual's life. Reproductive Biology Reproductive physical maturity and the capacity for human reproduction begin during puberty, a period of rapid growth and change experienced by both males and females. Puberty is not an isolated event, but a process which takes place over several years. During puberty, the hypothalamus (a gland located at the base of the brain which regulates temperature, sleep, emotions, sexual function and behavior) produces hormones (chemicals that originate in a gland or organ and travel through the blood to another organ, stimulating it by chemical action to increase functional activity and secretions). These hormones stimulate the gonads, the reproductive glands (the testes in males and the ovaries in females) to produce testosterone (males) and estrogen and progesterone (females). Male puberty generally occurs between the ages of 13-15 and is characterized by the secretion of the male hormone testosterone, which stimulates spermatogenesis (sperm production), and the development of secondary sexual characteristics (increased height and weight, broadening shoulders, growth of the testes and penis, pubic and facial hair growth, voice deepening, and muscle development)."

Flag What is the function of the bulbourethral glands? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. The main function of the bulbourethral or cowper's gland is to produce and release the \"\"pre-cum\"\" to rid the urethra of any acidic urine. The clear fluid neutralizes urine in the urethra so that when a man ejaculates, the sperm in the semen are not destroyed by acidic urine leftover in the urethra. The whole purpose of ejaculation is to send healthy sperm out of the male and into the female reproductive system for fertilization; this can't happen if the sperm come into contact with acidic fluids. The bulbourethral glands (also known as the cowper's glands) are male sexual glands. They are located below the prostate and discharge a component of the seminal fluid into the urethra. During sexual intercourse each gland produces a secretion known as pre-ejaculate. This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter."

It is located inferior to the penis in the pubic region. The scrotum is made up of 2 side-by-side pouches with a testis located in each pouch. The smooth muscles that make up the scrotum allow it to regulate the distance between the testes and the rest of the body. When the testes become too warm to support spermatogenesis, the scrotum relaxes to move the testes away from the body’s heat. Conversely, the scrotum contracts to move the testes closer to the body’s core heat when temperatures drop below the ideal range for spermatogenesis. Testes The 2 testes, also known as testicles, are the male gonads responsible for the production of sperm and testosterone. The testes are ellipsoid glandular organs around 1.5 to 2 inches long and an inch in diameter. Each testis is found inside its own pouch on one side of the scrotum and is connected to the abdomen by a spermatic cord and cremaster muscle. The cremaster muscles contract and relax along with the scrotum to regulate the temperature of the testes."

Sex organs in males In the case of male reproductive system the primary sex organs are a pair of testes (singular: testis) lying outside the abdominal cavity, enclosed in a sac called the scrotum. The placement of testes outside the body results in the temperature of the testes being lower than that of the rest of the body, a condition favorable to produce healthy sperms. Secondary sex organs in a male are seminiferous tubules, epididymis, sperm duct, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, Cowper's gland and penis. Each testis consists of a large number of seminiferous tubules. Sperms are produced inside these tubules. Epididymis The seminiferous tubules unite to form a long coiled structure called epididymis. It acts as the main store house of sperms. Vas deferens Epididymis continues as a muscular tube called vas deferens. It is also called a sperm duct."

Share Email Print Feedback Definition The Cowper's glands are a pair of small exocrine glands of the male reproductive system, located in the urogenital diaphragm, deeply located at the level of the membranous (or bulbous) urethra, which empty their secretions into the penile urethra each via a small duct. They were initially identified in prostatic transurethral resection specimens as a potential mimic of prostate cancer. They have since been discovered also in prostatic transrectal ultrasound-guided core biopsy specimens, where their occasional occurrence amid skeletal muscle fibers further accentuate their mimicry of prostate cancer. Cowper's glands are synonymous with bulbourethral glands. [ 1, 2, 3]Epidemiology The Cowper's gland (bulbourethral gland) is a normal anatomic structure that is rarely present within a transrectal prostatic biopsy. [ 1] An incidence of 0.006% in transrectal prostatic needle biopsies has been reported. [ 2]Etiology The Cowper's gland (bulbourethral gland) of the prostate is a normal anatomic structure. Location The Cowper’s glands (bulbourethral glands) are located in the urogenital diaphragm, posterolateral to the membranous (or bulbous) portion of the penile urethra, below the apex of the prostate. Clinical Features and Imaging As these are normal anatomic structures, there are no specific clinicoradiologic features described for the Cowper's glands (bulbourethral glands). Gross Findings The Cowper's glands (bulbourethral glands) are small yellowish glands, measuring up to 1 cm."

Answer by Don Dfoofnik Confidence votes 230KThere are three kinds of answers: ones that are mostly right, ones that are mostly wrong, and those that once were right but now are wrong. The Cowper's glands (bulbourethral gland) are male sexual glands. They are two small racemose glands that are located below the prostate and discharge a component of the seminal fluid into the urethra. They are homologous to the Bartholin's glands in the female. The secretions provide fluid to lubricate and clean the lower urethra, which may have residue left from its use during urination. During sexual arousal each gland produces a clear, viscous secretion known as pre-ejaculate. This fluid helps to lubricate the urethra for spermatozoa to pass through, it neutralizes traces of acidic urine in the urethra, and helps flush out any residual urine or foreign matter. It is possible for this fluid to pick up sperm, remaining in the urethral bulb from previous ejaculations, and carry them out prior to the next ejaculation. ("

Sexual and Reproductive Development Human beings are sexual throughout life. Sexuality encompasses more than sexual behavior - it is not only the physical, but the mental and spiritual as well. Sexuality is a core component of personality and a fundamental part of human life. While the problems usually associated with sexual behavior are real and need to be addressed, human sexuality also has significant meaning and value in each individual's life. Reproductive Biology Reproductive physical maturity and the capacity for human reproduction begin during puberty, a period of rapid growth and change experienced by both males and females. Puberty is not an isolated event, but a process which takes place over several years. During puberty, the hypothalamus (a gland located at the base of the brain which regulates temperature, sleep, emotions, sexual function and behavior) produces hormones (chemicals that originate in a gland or organ and travel through the blood to another organ, stimulating it by chemical action to increase functional activity and secretions). These hormones stimulate the gonads, the reproductive glands (the testes in males and the ovaries in females) to produce testosterone (males) and estrogen and progesterone (females). Male puberty generally occurs between the ages of 13-15 and is characterized by the secretion of the male hormone testosterone, which stimulates spermatogenesis (sperm production), and the development of secondary sexual characteristics (increased height and weight, broadening shoulders, growth of the testes and penis, pubic and facial hair growth, voice deepening, and muscle development)."

Pre-ejaculate is a clear mucoid fluid produced by accessory sex glands and expressed on sexual stimulation into the urethra. The organs that produce this fluid are Cowper glands, the glands of Littre, and possibly the glands of Morgagni. Pre-ejaculate volume may range in normal men from a few drops to more than 5 m L. Pre-ejaculate functions naturally as a chemical neutralizer to the urine's residual acidity in the urethra and thus provides the basic p H of the semen, allowing for safe passage of sperm ( Chughtai et al, 2005 ). Investigators have accumulated a significant body of knowledge about the chemical composition of pre-ejaculate and have compared sex gland secretions for different age groups. An abundance of researchers have studied the presence of human immunodeficiency (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases in the pre-ejaculate fluid. Reports in the literature also have discussed the presence or absence of sperm in the pre-ejaculate and whether or not it is safe to practice withdrawal (coitus interruptus) as a means of contraception. However, a relative paucity of research exists describing normal amounts of pre-ejaculate and the possible social-sexual consequences that excessive fluid might render."

Answer by Balasubramanyam Perugu Confidence votes 963Composition of human semen During the process of ejaculation,sperm passes through the ejaculatory ducts and mixes with fluids from the seminal vesicles, the prostate, and the bulbourethral glands to form the semen. The seminal vesicles produce a yellowish viscous fluid rich in fructose and other substances that makes up about 70% of human semen. The prostatic secretion, influenced by dihydrotestosterone, is a whitish (sometimes clear), thin fluid containing proteolytic enzymes, citric acid, acid phosphatase and lipids. The bulbourethral glands secrete a clear secretion into the lumen of the urethra to lubricate it. sertoli cells, which nurture and support developing spermotocytes, secrete a fluid into seminiferous tubules that helps transport sperm to the genital ducts. The ductuli efferentes possess cuboidal cells with microvilli andlysosomal granules that modify the semen by reabsorbing some fluid. Once the semen enters the ductus epididymis the principle cells, which contain pinocytotic vessels indicating fluid reabsorption, secrete glycerophosphocholine which most likely inhibits premature capacitation. The accessory genital ducts, the seminal vesicle,prostate glands, and the BULBOURETHRAL GLANDS, produce most of the seminal fluid."

"text": "Recognition, Management, and Prevention of Cold Exposure Significance: Although excessive and prolonged exposure to cold may be an infrequent problem in high school athletics, the prevention, recognition and management of cold-related conditions are still an important consideration for coaches, administrators and athletic trainers. The human body's mechanisms of heat retention are significantly less efficient than our ability to dissipate heat. Epidemiological research suggests that even in otherwise innocuous environmental conditions, hypothermia can occur. During the day, the temperature may be moderate and the sun shining, but as the sun sets and the temperature begins to fall, when coupled with conditions of exhaustion, dehydration and wet clothing associated with physical activity, the risk of cold-related pathology can increase. Understanding the mechanisms of heat retention and production are essential to the prevention and management of cold-related illnesses and injuries: Vasoconstriction - Decreases blood flow to the periphery to prevent loss of body heat. Shivering - While involuntary shivering generates heat through increased muscle activity, it may also hinder an athlete's sport performance and ability to perform behavioral tasks to aid in heat retention. Activity increase - Increases heat production through a general increase in metabolic activity. Quick bouts of intense activity can generate incredible amounts of heat. Behavioral responses - Adjusting the number and type of clothing layers will result in heat regulation by controlling the amount of heat lost by the body. There are two cold-related pathologies that coaches, administrators and athletes should be aware of: hypothermia and frostbite."

A thermoconforming organism, by contrast, simply adopts the surrounding temperature as its own body temperature, thus avoiding the need for internal thermoregulation. The internal thermoregulation process is one aspect of homeostasis: a state of dynamic stability in an organism's internal conditions, maintained far from thermal equilibrium with its environment (the study of such processes in zoology has been called physiological ecology ). If the body is unable to maintain a normal temperature and it increases significantly above normal, a condition known as hyperthermia occurs. For humans, this occurs when the body is exposed to constant temperatures of approximately 55 °C (131 °F), and with prolonged exposure (longer than a few hours) at this temperature and up to around 75 °C (167 °F) death is almost inevitable.

Many people died from it, but no one actually understood what it was. Those deaths were usually attributed to other causes. Until recently, little was known about the causes and effects of hypothermia. To understand how to prevent and treat hypothermia, we must first explore the causes. The body is an intricate collection of organs and systems. These systems operate most efficiently at a temperature of near 98.6 F. They are also very sensitive to the smallest changes in temperature. Whenever the core temperature of the body goes up or down these systems begin to fail. Specifically, hypothermia means the lowering of the body's core temperature to a level at which the body begins to fail."

Animals Artic wildlife is circumpolar (surrounding or near either pole of the earth), the same or closely related species are found around the world. The variety of animal life is also limited in the challenging environment. Musk-ox, caribou, and reindeer are the dominant large grazers, feeding on grass, sedge, lichen, and willow. Arctic hare, or snowshoe rabbit, and lemming feed on grass and sedge."

Factors Affecting An Animal's Ability To Withstand The Cold The Effects Of Severe Cold Stress On Cattle Key Management Factors To Limit The Effects Of Cold Stress What Is Cold to a Cow? When temperatures start to decline in winter, particularly as we get closer to 0°C (or 32°F), it is time to think about what effect this is having on cow productivity and efficiency. Like all mammals, cows are warm blooded and need to maintain a constant core body temperature. Normal rectal temperature for a cow is around 38°C (101°F). Within a range of environmental temperatures called the “thermoneutral zone,” animals do not have to expend any extra energy to maintain their body temperature. At the lower end of this range, normal metabolic processes supply enough heat to maintain body core temperature. Within their thermoneutral zone, animals may modify their behaviour, such as seeking shelter from wind, and respond over the long term by growing a thick hair coat for winter, without affecting their nutrient requirements. However, below the lower limit of the thermoneutral zone, in the “lower critical temperature,” the animal experiences cold stress. To combat cold stress, the animal must increase its metabolic rate to supply more body heat."

"text": "\"Home / Alcohol / Alcohol and Body Temperature Alcohol and Body Temperature Does alcohol warm you? Alcohol dilates arteries and increases the blood flow through your skin, hands, fingers and toes thus giving you a feeling of warmth soon after starting drinking [1,2,3]. However, alcohol does not produce significantly more heat in your body than other macronutrents: somewhat less than proteins and more than carbohydrates and fats [4,5]. Drinking up to about 5 drinks (70 grams of pure alcohol) in one session in a temperate environment probably does not significantly affect the body core temperature [6,7]. Alcohol and Hypothermia Hypothermia (a drop of the body temperature below 95 °F or 35 °C) in chronic alcoholics is common and so is death from hypothermia [8,9,10]. Alcohol-related causes of hypothermia include: Decreased perception and sensation of cold. Intoxicated people tend to be less aware of cold. Beside that, alcohol intoxication resulting in blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) above 0.3 g/100 blood acts as an anesthetic. A heavily drinking person exposed to cold who has been not eaten for a day or more may develop hypoglycemia, which may result in decreased shivering and therefore decreased heat production and hypothermia [11]. Paradoxical undressing. A drinker who starts to feel warm due to increased skin blood flow often partly undresses despite a low ambient temperature [7]. Sleepiness. An intoxicated person who has lain or fallen down may quickly fall asleep and not wake up despite the cold ambient. Increased loss of heat through the skin due to dilated skin arteries. After drinking alcohol, the skin arteries widen, which results in increased blood flow through the skin. Despite this, in some studies, thee was no significant difference in the mean body core (rectal) or the skin temperature between alcohol intoxicated (BAC around 0.1 g/100 m L blood) and non-intoxicated individuals exposed to air or water as cold as 50 °F [10 °C] for 20-60 minutes [7,12,13,14]. In severely intoxicated chronic alcoholics with a transient brain damage called Wernicke encephalopathy, hypothermia may develop due to impaired thermoregulation [15]. According to one theory, alcohol causes a drop of the set-point of the thermoregulatory center in the brain thus making a person who was drinking to feel more comfortable in a colder environment than when not drinking [6,16]. It seems alcohol directly contributes to hypothermia only when it also causes hypoglycemia, which can occur due to a combination of drinking and fasting or drinking and exercise."

Myers Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/0361-9230 (81)90085-X Get rights and content Abstract A series of five experiments was undertaken in order to characterize the pharmacological effects of alcohol on the body temperature of the unrestrained rat. After a thermistor probe was fixed within the colon of each animal and its body temperature had stabilized, physiological saline, 2.0 g/kg or 4.0 g/kg of ethyl alcohol was given by intragastric gavage. A constant concentration of 20% was utilized with doses determined volumetrically according to the individual weight of the animal. The following observations were made: (1) At a laboratory room temperature of 22°C, alcohol produced a dose-dependent decline in colonic temperature. This fall was enhanced when the rat was placed in a chamber with an ambient temperature of 8°C, but reversed into a hyperthermic response when the ambient temperature of the rat was elevated to 36°C. ( 2) If the rat was exposed for one hour to either a warm (36°C) or cold (8°C) ambient temperature beginning at the time of the intragastric gavage with alcohol, the body temperature of the animal correspondingly decreased or increased, respectively. The magnitude of the shift in the animal's colonic temperature depended solely on the dose of alcohol given, i.e., thermolability was enhanced to a greater extent by the 4.0 g/kg dose than the 2.0 g/kg dose. Exposure of the rat to a high or low ambient temperature prior to intragastric gavage with alcohol also affected the body temperature displacement as well as the direction of change. ( 3) Following the 4.0 g/kg alcohol dose, the animal's colonic temperature could be controlled precisely by varying the ambient temperatures in the 26°C-32°C range of thermoneutrality; in fact, within limits, the rat's temperature could be held constant at any predetermined level.

Your normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit (37 degrees Celsius) and when your body temperature falls to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) your nervous system, heart and internal organs don”t work properly. If left untreated, hypothermia will lead to failure of your organs, respiratory system and you may die. Symptoms and Causes Hypothermia begins gradually and you may experience confused thoughts. This situation prevents self-awareness of what may be happening within your body. If you are able, be aware of what is happening to your body. Symptoms Shivering Unclear speech Uncoordinated walking Inability to make decisions Removing warm clothing Low energy or drowsiness Indifference Slow loss of consciousness Weak or very slow pulse Shallow or very slow breathing You do not necessary have to be exposed to extremely cold outdoor temperatures to have hypothermia. The elderly may develop mild hypothermia indoors if the heat is turned down or the air conditioning too high. Mild hypothermia symptoms are almost identical to more severe symptoms."

"text": "Researched and Written by Jonjo Minns Submitted to Biology-Online.org on February 25, 2009. Published in Biology-Online.org on March 29, 2009. Introduction Homeostasis is defined as “the condition of equilibrium (balance) in the bodies internal environment due to the consistent interaction of the body’s main regulatory processes” Tortora and Derrickson [2009:8]. The scope of this essay is that it will describe the concept of homeostasis, in addition to the homeostatic mechanisms of which regulate heart rate, breathing rate, body temperature, and blood glucose levels. In addition to this, the importance of homeostasis in maintaining healthy functioning of the body will be explained. The maintenance of body temperature is the responsibility of a team of structures within the body. Temperature control is vital to the maintenance of homeostasis within the body. Heat is sensed by thermo-regulators in both the skin and the hypothalamus. The difference is, internal temperature (temperature inside the body) is sensed by thy hypothalamus, and external temperature (temperature outside the body) is sensed by the skin. When the external temperature outside is too cold, messages are sent from the many thermo-receptors located within the skin (or from thermo-receptors located either deep in the muscle or in the blood), to the cerebellum leading to the hypothalamus. The role of the cerebellum is to make the individual aware of feeling cold, of which may cause voluntary behavioural changes such as putting on more layers of clothing or a coat."

Hypothermia is a condition that exists when the body’s temperature drops below ninety-five degrees. This can be caused by exposure to water or air. The loss of body heat results in loss of dexterity, loss of consciousness, and eventually loss of life. A few minutes in cold water makes it very difficult to swim, even to keep yourself afloat.

Clothing for Cold Weather: Winter Wear | Winter Coats | Insulating Layers | Winter Underwear | Winter Hats | Winter Gloves | Antarctic Boots | Winter Work Wear | Fashion Winter Clothing | Kids Winter Clothing | Kids Winter Coats If someone is exposed to cold and inadequately protected, their body will first try to generate more heat through shivering to maintain a normal temperature. If the body can't stay warm by these means, it will start trying to decrease heat loss by decreasing blood flow to the extremities to minimize cooling. Finally, if the loss of heat carries on despite these measures, the body will slow its metabolism to minimize its need for fresh blood flow and oxygen supply. If it is inevitable, then the sooner the body reaches the final step, the better chance of survival so that the organs won't become starved of oxygen. For example, a core temperature of 20°C (68°F) requires only 20% of the oxygen required at normal body temperature of 37°C (98.6°F). Mild Hypothermia This results in symptoms such as shivering, numb hands and other extremities and reduced manual dexterity.

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What is an 'Implicit Cost'An implicit cost is any cost that has already occurred but is not necessarily shown or reported as a separate expense. It represents an opportunity cost that arises when a company allocates internal resources toward a project without any explicit compensation for the utilization of resources. This means that when a company allocates its resources, it always forgoes the ability to earn money off the use of the resources elsewhere. Next Up Implicit Rental Rate Accounting Profit Absorbed Cost Underlying Debt BREAKING DOWN 'Implicit Cost'Examples of implicit costs include the loss of interest income on funds, and the depreciation of machinery for a capital project. Implicit costs can also be intangible costs that are not easily accounted for, such as situations in which an owner allocates time toward the maintenance of a company, rather than allocating those hours elsewhere. In most cases, implicit costs are not recorded for accounting purposes. When a company hires a new employee, for example, there are implicit costs to train that employee. If a manager allocates eight hours of an existing employee's day to teach this new team member, the implicit costs would be the existing employee's hourly wage, multiplied by eight. This is because the hours could have been allocated toward the employee's current role. In corporate finance decisions, implicit costs should always be considered when coming to a decision on how to allocate company resources."

"text": "\"A quarterly magazine of the IMF March 1999, Volume 36, Number 1Contingent Government Liabilities A Hidden Fiscal Risk Hana Polackova Many governments have faced serious fiscal instability as a result of their contingent liabilities—that is, fiscal obligations contingent on the occurrence of particular events. But these obligations are not budgeted and accounted for, nor are they considered in conventional fiscal analysis. IF A COUNTRY'S banking sector fails, or its subnational (state or local) governments find themselves unable to meet their obligations, or a large state-guaranteed infrastructure project runs into difficulties, the central government comes to the rescue. Whether a government is obligated by law or simply forced by circumstances to provide public financing to cover such contingencies, its contingent liabilities can lead to large increases in public debt. Thus, fiscal adjustment aimed solely at keeping projected expenditure levels down is insufficient to prevent fiscal instability in countries with large, unbudgeted contingent liabilities. Credit-rating agencies and investment banks are therefore beginning to pay more attention to contingent liabilities in assessing sovereign creditworthiness. Governments today are exposed to greater fiscal risks and uncertainties than ever before. There are four reasons for this: the growing volume and volatility of private capital flows, the transformation of the state's role from financier to guarantor of services and projects (see the article \"\"Private Infrastructure, Public Risk,\"\" by Mateen Thobani in this issue), the moral hazard that may result from guaranteeing outcomes to be delivered by the private sector, and the fiscal opportunism of policymakers. Transition and developing economies face particularly large fiscal risks. Failures in their corporate and financial sectors are exacerbated by these countries' dependence on foreign financing, opaque ownership structures, inadequate disclosure of information, and weak regulatory and enforcement systems; moreover, their governments are often subjected to intense political pressure to bail out failed companies or financial institutions."

"text": "\"Housing Finance and the 2008 Financial Crisis Lawrence H. White August 1, 2009The financial crisis and recession of 2008 and 2009 were serious blows to the U. S. economy, so it is important to step back and understand what caused them. While some people have pointed to financial deregulation and private-sector greed as the sources of the problems, it was actually misguided monetary and housing policies that were the main causes of the crisis. The expansion in risky mortgages to underqualified borrowers was encouraged by the federal government. The growth of \"\"creative\"\" nonprime lending followed Congress's strengthening of the Community Reinvestment Act, the Federal Housing Administration's loosening of down-payment standards, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development's pressuring of lenders to extend mortgages to borrowers who previously would not have qualified. Meanwhile, the government-supported mortgage lenders, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, grew to own or guarantee about half of the United States' $12 trillion mortgage market. Congressional leaders pointedly refused to moderate the distortions created by the government's implicit guarantee that the firms would not be allowed to fail, which was the catalyst for their rapid expansion. Instead, Congress pushed them to promote \"\"affordable housing\"\" through expanded purchases of nonprime loans to low-income applicants. The credit that fueled these risky mortgages was provided by the cheap money policy of the Federal Reserve. Following the 2001 recession, Fed chairman Alan Greenspan slashed the federal funds rate from 6.25 to 1.75 percent. It was reduced further in 2002 and 2003, reaching a record low of 1 percent in mid-2003—where it stayed for a year."

"text": "What is “Beamforming” on a Wireless Router?by Chris Hoffman on September 21st, 2016Modern wireless routers often promise “beamforming” technology for improving your Wi-Fi reception and reducing interference. But what exactly is beamforming, how does it work, and is it really helpful? In summary, beamforming is a useful feature, though you’ll only really get all the benefits with new 802.11ac devices. You shouldn’t necessarily pay a lot more for a beamforming-enabled router. Beamforming Basics RELATED: How To Get a Better Wireless Signal and Reduce Wireless Network Interference In very simplified terms, beamforming is all about focusing a Wi-Fi signal in a specific direction. Traditionally, when your router broadcasts a Wi-Fi signal, it broadcasts the data in all directions. With beamforming, the router determines where your device — laptop, smartphone, tablet, or whatever else — is located and projects a stronger signal in that specific direction. Beamforming promises a faster, stronger Wi-Fi signal with longer range for each device. Rather than simply broadcasting in all directions, the router attempts to broadcast wireless data intended for a device in way that’s optimal for the device. So, that’s the end result of beamforming — a better Wi-Fi signal and reception for your devices."

It is prepared under the auspices of the Center for Pacific Basin Monetary and Economic Studies within the FRBSF’s Economic Research Department. The collapse of the Thai baht in July 1997 was followed by an unprecedented financial crisis in East Asia, from which these economies are still struggling to recover. A great deal of effort has been devoted to trying to understand its causes. One view is that there was nothing inherently wrong with East Asian economies, which have historically performed very well. These economies experienced a surge in capital inflows to finance productive investments that made them vulnerable to a financial panic. That panic–and inadequate policy responses–triggered a region-wide financial crisis and the economic disruption that followed (Sachs and Radelet 1998)."

It is related to explicit costs, which represent the actual costs of an activity, and represents a cost that is not recorded but instead implied. For example, an employee could take a vacation and travel. The explicit costs would include travel expenses, the cost of a hotel room, and costs related to entertainment. The implicit costs relate to the tradeoff, namely the wages that the employee could have earned if the vacation was not taken . As another example, not paying rent on the self-owned property (called implicit rent) is an implicit cost, because rent is a tax deductible expense but implicit rent is not. Similarly, implicit cost of liquid assets or stockholders' (shareholders') capital is the maximum interest that would be earned on them as a fixed deposit or as an investment in a mutual fund (unit trust).

[ 1] [2] [3] Solvent models enable simulations and thermodynamic calculations applicable to reactions and processes which take place in solution. These include biological, chemical and environmental processes. [ 1] Such calculation can lead to predictions and improved understanding of the physical processes occurring. Such models have been extensively tested and reviewed in scientific literature. The various models have their own pros and cons. Implicit models are generally computationally efficient and can provide a reasonable description of the solvent behaviour, but fail to account for the local fluctuations in solvent density around a solute molecule. The density fluctuation behaviour is due to solvent ordering around a solute and is particularly prevalent when one is considering water as the solvent. Explicit models are often less computationally economical, but can provide a physical spatially resolved description of the solvent. However, many of these explicit models are computaionally demanding and can fail to reproduce some experimental results, often due to certain fitting methods and parametrization."

In order to produce, we must employ resources, i.e., land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. What happens to output as more resources are employed? We can demonstrate the impact of adding more of a variable resource, say labor, to a fixed amount of capital and see what happens to output.

On the other hand, an explicit cost is one that has occurred and is clearly reported as a separate cost.

Let's assume that a company gives a promissory note for $10,000 to someone in exchange for a unique used machine for which the fair value is not known. The note will come due in three years and it does not specify any interest. Due to the company's weak financial position it will have to pay a high interest rate if it were to borrow money. In this example, there is no explicit interest cost. However, due to the issuer's financial difficulty and the seller having to wait three years to collect the money, there has to be some interest cost.

Next Up Implicit Cost Accounting Profit Bagel Land Profit BREAKING DOWN 'Normal Profit'A business will be in a state of normal profit when its economic profit is equal to zero, which is why normal profit is also often called “zero economic profit.” Normal profit occurs at the point at which the resources available to the firm are being efficiently used and could not be put to better use elsewhere. It is often considered the minimum amount of earnings needed in order to justify an enterprise. It is important to note that zero economic profit does not mean that the company is not earning any money (accounting profit). It is simply a measure of how well resources are being used relative to all possible options. When total revenues are equal to total costs, “normal profit” and “economic profit” are the same. Unlike accounting profit, economic profit (and, thus, normal profit as well) takes into account the opportunity cost of a particular enterprise. As such, normal profit calculations divide “total cost” into two categories, explicit costs and implicit costs."

Governed by hormones and the moon - your menstrual cycle can either be a source of great health ( helping you balance body and emotions and acting as a compass for your life) or a source of major discomfort and distress. Some of the symptoms of distress and hormonal imbalance include:too little bleeding or too few periods,too much bleeding,short cycles,long cyclespain including PMS and menstrual cramping, headachesmood swings,depression and loss of self worth and self esteem. These irregularities can also contribute to other fertility problems when you want to conceive, and can affect your ability to maintain a healthy pregnancy. If your hormones are imbalanced then all these areas of fertility can be affected. Many of these problems are caused by a lack in our diet, lack of health, too much stress and too little understanding of the way the female body works. Medically these irregularities are otfen treated by introducing (often artificial) hormones into the delicate female system. These hormones regulate your menstrual cycle by overriding your bodies natural rhythm. For example - when you take the Pill, these artificial hormones effectively trick your body into thinking it is already pregnant.

Although heavy menstrual bleeding is a common concern, most women don't experience blood loss severe enough to be defined as menorrhagia. With menorrhagia, you can't maintain your usual activities when you have your period because you have so much blood loss and cramping. If you dread your period because you have such heavy menstrual bleeding, talk with your doctor. There are many effective treatments for menorrhagia. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of menorrhagia may include: Soaking through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours Needing to use double sanitary protection to control your menstrual flow Needing to wake up to change sanitary protection during the night Bleeding for longer than a week Passing blood clots larger than a quarter Restricting daily activities due to heavy menstrual flow Symptoms of anemia, such as tiredness, fatigue or shortness of breath When to see a doctor Seek medical help before your next scheduled exam if you experience: Vaginal bleeding so heavy it soaks at least one pad or tampon an hour for more than two hours Bleeding between periods or irregular vaginal bleeding Any vaginal bleeding after menopause Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Fibroid locations Uterine polyps Adenomyosis In some cases, the cause of heavy menstrual bleeding is unknown, but a number of conditions may cause menorrhagia. Common causes include: Hormone imbalance. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormone imbalance occurs, the endometrium develops in excess and eventually sheds by way of heavy menstrual bleeding. A number of conditions can cause hormone imbalances, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), obesity, insulin resistance and thyroid problems."

More The female anatomy is a complex puzzle unique to each woman. One cannot assume what works for one woman, will work for another, especially when it comes to reproduction. Women's fertility is vital, yet a very sensitive issue. Some perceive reproduction as the fulfillment of being a woman. We all understand that it's necessary for women to experience the often-difficult process of menstruation every twenty-eight days, to prepare their bodies for pregnancy. It's important to address any issues involving your menstrual cycle, to ensure your body has the best prospects for good health and fertility if the desire is to produce a child. It's common for women to experience problems during their menstrual cycles, the most frequent complaint being menstrual cramps. As women mature sexually, fertility becomes more and more important. When menstrual issues threaten a women's reproductive success, they are usually addressed by many medical experts, however, a percentage of the female population prefers natural means to deal with menstrual cramps and to promote fertility. This is where cinnamon comes into the picture."

Photo courtesy of Shutterstock Share Tweet Share E-mail Every month women prepare for the often dreaded and unwelcome visit from Aunt Flo. This menstrual blood that flows from the uterus through the cervix and vagina is a clear sign that the body is working normally, providing hormones to keep women healthy. As the body adapts to the menstrual period — two to seven days — what are external and physical changes it undergoes? A woman’s menstrual period prepares her body for pregnancy each month, says the Office of Women’s Health, with the average cycle lasting 28 days. With estrogen levels on the rise, making the lining of the uterus grow and thicken, the body undergoes unique changes that go beyond cramps, pimples, and PMS. In no particular order, here are seven little-known facts about the mystery behind Mother Nature’s monthly gift.1. Periods decrease cognitive ability. The abdominal pain, backaches, and nausea during a woman’s period can actually affect how she thinks and feels, reducing her cognitive ability. Menstrual cramps can interfere with selective attention, attention span, and dividing and switching attention between two tasks, according to a 2014 study published in the journal Pain."

In a normal menstrual cycle, women experience menstruation (also known as a period) followed by the release of an egg. During menstruation blood, cells and mucus are discharged from the uterus. The menstrual cycle starts on the first day of the menstrual period (referred to as day one) and ends the day before the next period begins. While the length of the menstrual cycle is often 28 days, it can vary between women and from one cycle to the next. It is common for women to experience cycles that last anywhere from 20 to 40 days. Cycles longer than six weeks are considered unusual. The length of a women’s menstrual cycle can change throughout her life. Irregular periods are common among adolescent women, and in women approaching menopause. Factors such as stress, extreme emotion (good or bad), weight changes, excessive physical activity and travelling can also cause irregularities in a woman's menstrual cycle."

Any history of chronic illness, trauma, surgery, and medications is also important. A sexual history should be obtained in a confidential manner. Information regarding substance use, exercise, diet, home and school situations, and psychosocial issues should be elicited. A comprehensive review of symptoms should include vasomotor symptoms, hot flashes, virilizing changes, galactorrhea, headache, fatigue, palpitations, nervousness, hearing loss, and visual changes.

You would not feel pain without them, because it is the hormones that induce the pain response. Actually, the headache may be protecting you or warning you of something more damaging in the same way that touching a hot stove alerts you to the heat and protects you from burning yourself. The word hormone is derived from a Greek word that means to “set in motion.” Hormones initiate and regulate many of your body’s functions. For example, metabolic hormones regulate the way your body turns food into energy. Growth hormones control childhood development and maintain certain tissue structure in adults. Regulating hormones determine your femininity, masculinity and sexuality. Hormones are manufactured and secreted by your endocrine glands, which include the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenals, pancreas, gonads and other glandular tissues located in your intestines, kidneys, lungs, heart, and blood vessels. The endocrine system works with your nervous system to keep your body in balance within a constantly changing environment."

If so, it may be reasonable to speak with your doctor about potentially skipping your period. In order to suppress menstruation, women may use an extended or continuous use of combined oral contraceptive or other combined (estrogen and progestin) hormonal delivery vehicles, like the birth control patch ( Ortho Evra ) or ring ( Nuva Ring ). With the Nuva Ring, there are four simple steps to skipping your period. Again, it is important that you speak to your doctor before trying this. If you choose to go ahead with it after that discussion, be aware that some women do experience breakthrough bleeding. Unpredictable bleeding and spotting generally get better within one to three months, but may take up to a year or even longer for certain women. How to Use the Nuva Ring to Skip Your Period First, you will need at least two months of Nuva Ring, or six rings in total.

The menstrual cycle can tell us a lot about what is happening in the body, if the uterus is getting enough circulation, if hormones are imbalanced, if you are ovulating and so much more. In this article we will cover the different phases of the menstrual cycle, how to use different signs of the menstrual cycle to determine your health, and how to use natural therapies such as fertility cleansing, herbs, and a natural fertility diet to help support and maintain a healthy cycle. Also determining what is ‘normal’ or what should be the goal for us to get our cycles back on track is equally as important. While everyone can not fit into one box, there is a general range that represents a healthy cycle. But let’s start from the beginning…What is a period? Menstruation (the period) is the shedding of the endometrium lining of the uterus. This generally occurs monthly, releasing blood and tissues from the uterus. How the cycle works…The period is only one part of the amazingly complex monthly fertility cycle orchestrated by the endocrine system. The endocrine glands work together to send messages via hormones."

"text": "Menstruation, periodic discharge from the vagina of blood, secretions, and disintegrating mucous membrane that had lined the uterus. Cyclical changes during a woman's normal ovulatory menstrual cycle. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The biological significance of the process in humans can best be explained by reference to the reproductive function in other mammals. In a number of species of wild sheep, for example, there is only one breeding season in the year; during this season a cycle of changes takes place in the reproductive organs, characterized by ripening and release of ova from the ovaries, increased blood supply to the genital tract, growth of the uterus, and proliferation of its lining. There is a discharge of blood and mucus from the uterus and vagina, and this is the time when coition may take place. Pregnancy normally follows, but if the ewe is not served by the ram the changes retrogress until the next breeding season. This cycle of changes is termed the estrous cycle. In many domesticated sheep there is more than one estrous cycle in the breeding season. If the ewe does not become pregnant in the first cycle there is a short resting phase; then ovulation is repeated and another cycle of activity of the reproductive system takes place. After each breeding period, with its succession of estrous cycles, there is a relatively long resting phase."

"text": "The uterus: structure, function and common problems What is the uterus? The uterus, referred to since Biblical times as the ‘womb’, is a very remarkable organ, capable of expanding to contain a full-grown baby and of shedding its lining up to 500 times during your life at the time of your monthly period. The resultant stresses and strains on its supporting structures during pregnancies and the repeated shedding and re-growth of its lining may lead to problems such as prolapse or heavy menstrual bleeding. This chapter describes what the normal uterus and its related structures look like and how they work, and summarises what may go wrong. When you’re not pregnant, your uterus is approximately pear-sized. It has a thick muscular wall and a central cavity with a lining that is richly supplied with blood vessels. This lining is known as the endometrium and it provides nourishment for the embryo during the very early days of life. Otherwise, the lining of the uterus is shed each month, resulting in a flow of blood lasting for several days. This is known as the menstrual flow, menstruation or the monthly period. The location of the uterus within the pelvis The uterus sits centrally in the pelvis supported by strong fibrous structures called ligaments The uterine muscle wall expands greatly during pregnancy and strong contractions of this muscle wall during childbirth give rise to the pains of labour."

"text": "simran47 over a year ago It is difficult to get pregnant right before your period, since ovulation takes place around 2 weeks before the next period. This is true among women who have regular menstrual cycles and ovulation can be predicted to occur around mid-cycle. However, some women have irregular cycles. If your ovulation takes place later than expected (mid-cycle), say on the 24th day of the cycle instead of around 14th day, and fertilization and implantation take place, then pregnancy can occur right before your expected period. Some women also have episodes of vaginal bleeding that are mistaken for periods but are not actually counted as a menstrual period. Since you may not know when your period is due and you are not sure if a bleeding episode is an actual period, then it may be possible to become pregnant on what you think is a day or so before your menstrual period. Aside from this, there is another explanation of how a woman can get pregnant before her expected period. A study reveals that it is possible for a woman to ovulate more than once within a menstrual cycle. Canadian researchers found that out of 63 women included in the study, 10% ovulated twice in a month. Their findings suggest an explanation of how one can get pregnant close to the expected period and why some contraceptive methods fail."

Although Carpenter has worked in numerous film genres, his name is most commonly associated with horror and science fiction and has become the Master of Horror to this day due to his classic masterpieces, including Halloween and The Thing respectively. Contents [ show]Early Life Edit Carpenter was born in Carthage, New York, the son of Milton Jean (née Carter) and Howard Ralph Carpenter, a music professor. He and his family moved to Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1953. He was captivated by movies from an early age, particularly the westerns of Howard Hawks and John Ford, as well as 1950s low budget horror and science fiction films, such as Forbidden Planet and The Thing from Another World and began filming horror shorts on 8 mm film even before entering high school. He briefly attended Western Kentucky University, where his father chaired the music department, but transferred to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts in 1968 and graduated in 1971. Academy Award - Live Action Short Film Edit At USC Cinema, one of his projects as a co-writer, film editor and music composer, The Resurrection of Broncho Billy (1970), produced by John Longenecker, won an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. The short film was blown-up to 35mm, sixty prints were made and the film was theatrically released by Universal Studios for two years in the United States and Canada.1970s: From student films to major theatrical releases Edit His first major film as director, Dark Star (1974) was a sci-fi black comedy, that he cowrote with Dan O'Bannon (who later went on to write Alien, borrowing freely from much of Dark Star). The film reportedly cost only $60,000 and was difficult to make, as both Carpenter and O'Bannon completed the film by multitasking, with Carpenter doing the musical score as well as the writing, producing and directing, while O'Bannon acted in the film and did the special effects (which caught the attention of George Lucas who hired him to do work on the special effects for Star Wars). Carpenter's efforts did not go unnoticed as much of Hollywood marveled at his filmmaking abilities within the confines of a shoestring budget."

His decision sets up a battle with state Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, who said earlier this year he would seek the party's nomination after more than two decades in the Legislature. Several others, including Houston City Council members, have also announced interest in the position. Democratic voting precinct chairs are slated to pick a nominee in June."

An electoral district, ( election) precinct, election district, or legislative district, called a voting district by the US Census [1] (also known as a constituency, riding, ward, division, electoral area, or electorate) is a territorial subdivision for electing members to a legislative body. Generally, only voters (constituents) who reside within the district are permitted to vote in an election held there. From a single district, a single member or multiple members might be chosen. Members might be chosen by a first-past-the-post system or a proportional representative system, or another voting method entirely. Members might be chosen through a direct election under universal suffrage, an indirect election, or another form of suffrage.

The term constituency is commonly used to refer to an electoral district, especially in British English, but it can also refer to the body of eligible voters or all the residents of the represented area or only those who voted for a certain candidate."

"text": "History The Creation of Danvers By Richard B. Trask Click to Enlarge All Illustrations The following account of the effort to establish Danvers in 1752 is excerpted from a book in progress by Richard B. Trask relating to Danvers, Essex County and the Lexington Alarm of April 19, 1775.~Europeans first settled the present territory of Danvers, Massachusetts in the 1630s chiefly in that part of Danvers now known as Danvers Highlands. By 1672 this area, known then as Salem Village, was established as a separate parish of the town of Salem with the inhabitants allowed to build their own meeting house and hire a minister. The area to the south of Salem Village, now the city of Peabody, was also territory belonging to Salem and known in the 17th century as Brooksby. In 1711 this area also received parish status from the Salem mother town and was called the Middle Precinct. Though both Salem Village and the Middle Precinct had independent churches, they politically remained a part of Salem. Early on, even before receiving parish status, both areas had desired to be set off from Salem, believing their population and economy was strong and separated enough to function as independent communities. Yet the establishment of a township for Salem Village and the Salem Middle Precinct continued to be elusive. It had taken Herculean efforts for Salem Village and the Middle Precinct to be allowed separate churches and parish status from the mother town of Salem. Yet during the same late 17th and early 18th century time period, many new, completely independent communities were being created in other parts of Massachusetts without much controversy. The most typical manner of establishing a new township was when an outlying district within a town grew large enough in population and its inhabitants found the distance to the place of public worship or town meetings too far to conveniently attend."

"text": "\"The DCDP Precinct Chairs“The most important job I ever held was that of precinct committeeman.” -President Harry Truman What is a Precinct Chair? Precinct Chairs are the backbone of the Dallas County Democratic Party. A Precinct Chair is the local representative of the Democratic Party and its candidates at the neighborhood, grass-roots level in each voting precinct. Each of Dallas County's 775 voting precincts can have its own Precinct Chair (though many have few or even no voters, and are covered by their neighbors). What does a Precinct Chair do? The primary job of a Precinct Chair is to increase the number of people voting Democratic in their precinct. Do Precinct Chairs really help win elections? Good ones can make an enormous difference. When you look at the election returns you can tell which precincts have active Chairs, by comparing them to ones next door with the same demographics but which just don't turn out as well."

"text": "The crime analysis and management approach known as COMPSTAT is widely heralded and frequently imitated. The tributes describe COMPSTAT as ”perhaps the single most important organizational/ administrative innovation in policing during the latter half of the 20th century” (Kelling and Sousa 2001,6). A Criminology and Public Policy Journal editor termed COMPSTAT ”arguably one of the most significant strategic innovations in policing in the last couple of decades” (Criminology and Public Policy 2003, 419). The authors of a major study note that COMPSTAT ”has already been recognized as a major innovation in American policing” (Weisburd et al. 2003, 422). In 1996, COMPSTAT was awarded the prestigious Innovations in American Government Award from the Ford Foundation and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani proclaims COMPSTAT as his administration’s ”crown jewel” (Giuliani 2002, 7). Because most people only observe its most visible elements, COMPSTAT is frequently misunderstood. These visible elements include up-to-date computerized crime data, crime analysis, and advanced crime mapping, which serve as the bases for regularized, interactive crime strategy meetings in which managers are held accountable for specific crime strategies and solutions in their areas. It is fair to say that the widespread diffusion of COMPSTAT refers to these most noticeable elements."

D. from their home in the city of Tollan (Tula). They had a rich religious life and the apogee of their civilization is marked by the spread of the cult of Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Toltec society was dominated by warrior cults and they practiced human sacrifice as a means of gaining favor with their gods. The Toltec Civilization The Toltecs were a major Mesoamerican culture who rose to prominence after the fall of Teotihuacán in approximately 750 A. D.. Even before Teotihuacan fell, Chichimec tribes in central Mexico and the remnants of the mighty Teotihuacan civilization had begun coalescing into the city of Tula. There they founded a powerful civilization which would eventually extend from the Atlantic to the Pacific through networks of trade, vassal states and war. Their influence reached as far as the Yucatan Peninsula, where the descendants of the ancient Maya civilization emulated Tula art and religion. The Toltecs were a warlike society ruled by priest-kings. By 1150, their civilization went into decline and Tula was eventually destroyed and abandoned. The Mexica (Aztec) culture considered ancient Tollan (Tula) the high point of civilization and claimed to be descendants of the mighty Toltec kings. Religious Life at Tula Toltec society was highly militaristic, with religion playing an equal or secondary role to the military."

The Templo Mayor (Spanish for \"\"Main Temple\"\") was the main temple of the Aztecs in their capital city of Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico City. Its architectural style belongs to the late Postclassic period of Mesoamerica. The temple was called the Huēyi Teōcalli [we:ˈi teoːˈkali] [1] in the Nahuatl language and dedicated simultaneously to two gods, Huitzilopochtli, god of war, and Tlaloc, god of rain and agriculture, each of which had a shrine at the top of the pyramid with separate staircases. The spire in the center of the adjacent image was devoted to Quetzalcoatl in his form as the wind god, Ehecatl. [ 2] The Great Temple devoted to Huitzilopochtli and Tlaloc, measuring approximately 100 by 80 m (328 by 262 ft) at its base, dominated the Sacred Precinct.

The financial institutions may limit the number of withdrawals you can make from your savings account each month.

Next Up Bank Deposits Linked Savings Account Money Market Account Retirement Money Market Account BREAKING DOWN 'Savings Account'Savings accounts generally are opened to keep money that you don't intend to use for daily or regular expenses. Savings accounts differ from checking accounts , which allow you to write checks and use electronic debit to access your funds. Also, savings accounts – unlike checking accounts – typically have limits on the number of withdrawals or transactions you may make each month. Advantages of Savings Accounts Because savings accounts pay interest, it is more beneficial to keep your unneeded funds in a savings account than a checking account so that your money can grow. In addition, savings accounts are one of the most liquid investments outside of demand accounts and cash. While savings accounts facilitate saving, they also make it very easy to access your funds."

By Lisa Gerstner, Contributing Editor and Joan Goldwasser, Senior Reporter December 2, 2011For savers, the days of earning tantalizing rates on a wad of cash seem like a distant dream. If you need a safe place to park your money now, the prospects aren’t pretty. Money funds are paying almost nothing. The most generous rates on bank deposit accounts barely brush 1%. Even the highest-yielding Internet checking accounts, once heralded as the go-to place for great rates on up to $25,000, are paying 2% to 3%—and that’s only if you meet certain requirements, such as using a debit card several times a month. And agreeing to lock up your money for a few months or years doesn’t help much: A five-year certificate of deposit yields, on average, 1.19%. Rates aren’t moving up anytime soon, either."

Fidelity Viewpoints – 03/05/2018Investing Strategies 401 (k) 403 (b) Annuities Charitable Giving Account Exchange-Traded Funds Fixed Deferred Annuities IRA Managed Accounts Retirement Accounts Roth IRAKey takeaways While an investment strategy shouldn’t be based solely on taxes, it should still consider any opportunities to manage, defer, and reduce taxes. Manage taxes by considering the role of losses, the timing of investments, and investment selection. Defer taxes by considering the use of tax-deferred accounts. Reduce taxes by considering strategies like donating appreciated securities to charity, and funding education expenses using a 529 plan. Investors spend untold hours researching stocks, bonds, and mutual funds with good return prospects. They read articles, watch investment shows, and ask friends for help and advice. But many of these investors could be overlooking another way to potentially add to their returns: tax efficiency. Investing tax-efficiently doesn't have to be complicated, but it does take some planning. While taxes should never be the sole driver of an investment strategy, better tax awareness does have the potential to improve your returns."

In some cases, people commit too much money into their IRAs, without saving enough readily available cash for a rainy day. With economic conditions making it harder to borrow money these days, plenty of individuals are finding themselves searching for creative and sensible ways to finance life's wants, needs, and emergencies. Unfortunately, millions more take early withdrawals from these accounts due to hardship, loss of a job or other money woes. But is it a good idea to borrow money from your IRA or 401 (k) account ~ read on and get more information before you make this important decision. Is it a Good Idea to Borrow From Your IRA? The answers can be \"\"yes\"\" and \"\"no\"\" depending on various factors, but financial planners and tax professionals typically will offer virtually the same advice: If you can avoid it, don't tap into your retirement funds before your turn 59 years old, the age the U. S. government says is OK to begin withdrawals without incurring a 10 percent hit. Additionally, it is important to understand the differences between borrowing and taking early distributions from an IRA versus a 401 (k), as they are distinctly different animals. Both the IRA and the 401 (k) are vehicles to save money for retirement, or occasionally for major purchases such as a child's college education or a down payment on a house. The principle difference between the two is that 401 (k)s are retirement saving plans offered through your employer, and the IRA is a plan you set up on your own, with the help of a bank, or other financial agency."

The bank guarantees an interest rate on the initial deposit for a certain amount of time. Typical term lengths for IRA CDs are six months to five years. Interest rates are usually higher for longer-term CDs and you may transfer them to other individual retirement accounts. You have the choice of establishing the CD as a traditional or Roth IRA. Maturity IRA certificate of deposit accounts have a maturity date, which is the date that the investment stops accruing interest. Many CDs mature before a young investor reaches retirement age.

"text": "\"Savings Accounts A traditional savings account is a simple investment vehicle designed to provide a high degree of protection, relatively easy access to one's funds, and a modest amount of interest. It, along with a checking account, are the most common forms of bank accounts for consumers. While a traditional savings account may be relatively simple, there are a significant number of differences between the banking institutions that offer them and the features of any individual account. This article explains those differences, and defines the related terminology, to ensure you can make an informed decision when choosing an account. Local Branch vs an Online Savings Account One of the most important decisions when considering where to open a savings account is the choice between a brick-and-mortar institution and an internet-only institution. The choice often comes down to personal preference and how one intends to use the bank or credit union's services. A local branch generally appeals to consumers looking for the superior service available with face-to-face interaction, while an internet-only bank generally appeals to consumers that prefer the superior convenience provided through an internet-only bank's online experience. A more detailed list of the various pros and cons of each option follows. Pros of a Brick-and-Mortar Savings Account Access to face-to-face bank tellers Generally free access to the bank's ATM network Access to the bank's branch services, such as foreign currency exchange and coin exchange May still have access to an online portal depending on the bank or credit union May still have access to mobile banking apps Cons of a Brick-and-Mortar Savings Account Branch services are only available during business hours Online tools, when they exist, are often inferior to those of internet-only banks Generally offer lower interest rates on deposits Often charge higher fees Pros of an Internet-Only Savings Account Provides superior online account management tools Generally provides superior mobile banking apps Banking tools and services are generally offered 24/7Generally offer higher interest rates on deposits Often charge lower fees Often offers ATM fee reimbursement, effectively creating the largest network of free ATMs Cons of an Internet-Only Savings Account Lack of face-to-face options for service Lack of branch level services such as currency exchange Concerns about privacy and account security Types of Savings Accounts In addition to the traditional savings account that is familiar to most consumers, there are several variations or completely different products that share the name \"\"savings account\"\". A discussion of those savings account variations and similarly named products follows."

S. trade deficit, and its implications for this country's future, has been a hotly debated topic among academics and policymakers for quite some time. To take a stab at helping you think about this complicated issue, let me begin with some definitions. What is a trade deficit? Before we talk about trade deficits, we need to start with the things that make up the trade balance. The trade balance is the difference between exports (domestically produced goods and services sold to other countries) and imports (goods and services purchased from other countries). Exporting goods and services produces income for a country; therefore, exports add to the trade balance, which in turn contributes to total Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Alternatively, when a country imports goods and services, it sends some of its income abroad to pay for them; thus imports detract from the trade balance and from GDP."

This Sun Trust Bank review will look at all available savings accounts, including account types, features, and interest rates.

"text": "\"SOCIAL DETERMINANTSAny case of a disease results from a long and complex chain of characteristics, circumstances, and events. The terms used to refer to the stages in this causal chain are not well agreed upon, however. Causal factors are loosely grouped into precipitating causes, which refer to agent factors, such as a virus, and some aspects of the host, such as inadequate nutrition which increases susceptibility. The events and environmental factors that give rise to the immediate causal factors are often termed \"\"determinants.\"\" These include biological, physical, and social circumstances. Determinants account, in some measure, for the underlying rates of disease in a population, while variations in these rates are explained by risk factors. The social determinants of health include socioeconomic circumstances, social structure and function, and cultural factors. Social determinants refer to broad patterns and not to individual details — the state of being married would constitute a risk factor for some conditions, while the cultural and economic circumstances that lead to high divorce rates might form a social determinant of mental health in a particular population. The use of the term \"\"determinants\"\" deserves some clarification. In most instances it does not imply a deterministic relationship, as might hold in chemistry, for example."

We’ve split up the discussion of each of these important elements, because there is so much to say about each. This article focuses on related services._______________________IDEA’s exact words Related services, in brief Beginning with evaluation Determining what related services a student needs Related services personnel on the IEP team Do parents have to pay for related services? Related services, in detail What’s excluded Individual services, defined_______________________IDEA’s Exact Words Let’s start with IDEA’s full requirement for specifying a child’s related services in his or her IEP. This appears at §300.320 (a) (4) and stipulates that each child’s IEP must contain: (4) A statement of the special education and related services and supplementary aids and services, based on peer-reviewed research to the extent practicable, to be provided to the child, or on behalf of the child, and a statement of the program modifications or supports for school personnel that will be provided to enable the child— (i) To advance appropriately toward attaining the annual goals; (ii) To be involved in and make progress in the general education curriculum in accordance with paragraph (a) (1) of this section, and to participate in extracurricular and other nonacademic activities; and (iii) To be educated and participate with other children with disabilities and nondisabled children in the activities described in this section… [§300.320 (a) (4)]We’ve bolded the part of IDEA’s regulation that specifically mentions related services, because it’s important to see the context in which this term is used. It is that context, and IDEA’s own definition of related services, that will guide how a child’s IEP team considers what related services the child needs and the detail with which the team specifies them in the IEP. Back to top Related Services, in Brief Related services help children with disabilities benefit from their special education by providing extra help and support in needed areas, such as speaking or moving. Related services can include, but are not limited to, any of the following:speech-language pathology and audiology servicesinterpreting servicespsychological servicesphysical and occupational therapyrecreation, including therapeutic recreationearly identification and assessment of disabilities in childrencounseling services, including rehabilitation counselingorientation and mobility servicesmedical services for diagnostic or evaluation purposesschool health services and school nurse servicessocial work services in schoolsparent counseling and training Back to top Beginning with Evaluation IDEA requires that a child be assessed in all areas related to his or her suspected disability. This evaluation must be sufficiently comprehensive so as to identify all of the child’s special education and related services needs, whether or not those needs are commonly linked to the disability category in which he or she has been classified. Back to top Determining What Related Services a Student Needs It is the IEP team’s responsibility to review all of the evaluation information, to identify any related services the child needs, and to include them in the IEP."

"text": "Select Year: The 2017 Florida Statutes Title V JUDICIAL BRANCH Chapter 39 PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO CHILDREN View Entire Chapter39.01 Definitions. — When used in this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires: (1) “Abandoned” or “abandonment” means a situation in which the parent or legal custodian of a child or, in the absence of a parent or legal custodian, the caregiver, while being able, has made no significant contribution to the child’s care and maintenance or has failed to establish or maintain a substantial and positive relationship with the child, or both. For purposes of this subsection, “establish or maintain a substantial and positive relationship” includes, but is not limited to, frequent and regular contact with the child through frequent and regular visitation or frequent and regular communication to or with the child, and the exercise of parental rights and responsibilities. Marginal efforts and incidental or token visits or communications are not sufficient to establish or maintain a substantial and positive relationship with a child. A man’s acknowledgement of paternity of the child does not limit the period of time considered in determining whether the child was abandoned. The term does not include a surrendered newborn infant as described in s. 383.50, a “child in need of services” as defined in chapter 984, or a “family in need of services” as defined in chapter 984. The incarceration, repeated incarceration, or extended incarceration of a parent, legal custodian, or caregiver responsible for a child’s welfare may support a finding of abandonment. ( 2) “Abuse” means any willful act or threatened act that results in any physical, mental, or sexual abuse, injury, or harm that causes or is likely to cause the child’s physical, mental, or emotional health to be significantly impaired. Abuse of a child includes acts or omissions. Corporal discipline of a child by a parent or legal custodian for disciplinary purposes does not in itself constitute abuse when it does not result in harm to the child. ("

Human society is not homogeneous but heterogeneous. Apart from the natural differences, human beings are also differentiated according to socially approved criteria. Image Courtesy : heritagedaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/brandingslaves1-1024×610.jpg ADVERTISEMENTS: So socially differentiated men are treated as socially unequal from the point of view of enjoyment of social rewards like status, power, income etc. That may be called social inequality. The term social inequality simply refers to the existence of socially created inequalities. Meanings: Social stratification is a particular form of social inequality. All societies arrange their members in terms of superiority, inferiority and equality. Stratification is a process of interaction or differentiation whereby some people come to rank higher than others. In one word, when individuals and groups are ranked, according to some commonly accepted basis of valuation in a hierarchy of status levels based upon the inequality of social positions, social stratification occurs."

Inherently interdisciplinary in scope, the field benefits from the contributions of professionals outside philosophy,…READ MOREDefinition and development The range of issues considered to fall within the purview of bioethics varies depending on how broadly the field is defined. In one common usage, bioethics is more or less equivalent to medical ethics, or biomedical ethics. The term medical ethics itself has been challenged, however, in light of the growing interest in issues dealing with health care professions other than medicine, in particular nursing. The professionalization of nursing and the perception of nurses as ethically accountable in their own right have led to the development of a distinct field known as nursing ethics. Accordingly, health care ethics has come into use as a more inclusive term. Bioethics, however, is broader than this, because some of the issues it encompasses concern not so much the practice of health care as the conduct and results of research in the life sciences, especially in areas such as cloning and gene therapy ( seeclone and genetic engineering ), stem cell research, xenotransplantation (animal-to-human transplantation), and human longevity."

The first binds the individual directly to society without any intermediary. In the second, he depends upon society, because he depends upon the parts of which it is composed.2. Society is not seen in the same aspect in the two cases. In the first, what we call society is a more or less organized totality of beliefs and sentiments common to all the members of the group: this is the collective type. On the other hand, the society in which we are solidary in the second instance is a system of different, special functions which definite relations unite. These two societies really make up only one.

"text": "Date: April 20, 2011Author: Healthydebate Share this article What is the federal government’s role in health care? Polls suggest that health care is the most important issue to Canadians in the upcoming federal election. However, in Canada, health care delivery is largely the responsibility of the provinces and territories. The 2004 Health Accord invested $41 billion of federal dollars in health. What were the outcomes of this federal investment in health? History of the Federal Role in Health Care The federal government has a defined constitutional role in health care. Its biggest role is through what is called its “spending power” whereby the federal government sets conditions for the transfer of funds to provincial and territorial governments. This is affected through fiscal transfers, known as the Canada Health Transfer (CHT), and through the Canada Health Act which sets out the principles that provincial health insurance plans must adhere to in order to receive federal transfers without penalty. Historically, the federal government has applied a range of conditions to the health funding it transfers to the provinces, but it is also sensitive to arguments that health care is a provincial jurisdiction. The CHT is the largest federal transfer of funds to the provinces and territories."

"text": "\"Supplemental Security Income: A Costly and Troubled Welfare Program Tad De Haven August 1, 2013The goal of the federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program is to provide assistance to elderly and disabled individuals who have limited financial resources. Supplemental Security Income is a means-tested welfare program funded by general federal revenues. Unlike the related Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program, no work history is required to receive SSI benefits. Although SSI was created with the elderly poor in mind, today the program mainly benefits nonelderly disabled adults and children. While the number of elderly beneficiaries has slightly decreased since the program began operating in 1974, the number of nonelderly disabled adults and children has increased substantially. Overall, the total number of SSI beneficiaries has grown from 4.8 million in 1990, to 6.6 million in 2000, to 8.3 million today. 1As the number of beneficiaries has increased, so has spending on the program. Supplemental Security Income spending has risen from $33 billion in 2000 to an estimated $57 billion in 2013, which is a 70 percent increase. In real (after-inflation) dollars, the increase since 2000 has been 29 percent. Policymakers have liberalized eligibility standards for SSI's benefits over the years, with the result that many people who are capable of working are making the choice to remain idle and receive benefits instead."

"text": "Home » Social Mobility » Types of Social Mobility Types of Social Mobility Social mobility is defined as a transition of individuals or groups from one position in the social hierarchy to another. The concept of social mobility is closely linked to the concept of stratification. As hierarchical patterns evolve in the society, a tendency of shifting these patterns at individual and structural level also evolves. Mobility can be at an individual level or at collective level termed as structural mobility. Functionalists like Parsons believed that mobility is a result of the process of differentiation in society and role filling by those who suit them the most. Marx on the other hand believed that the high rate of social mobility, embourgeoisement will weaken class solidarity. He foresees downward mobility in capitalism when petite bourgeoisie will sink down into the proletariat class. Frank Parkin and Dahrendorf believe that social mobility also acts as a safety valve in the society as the built up frustrations are vented through the route of social mobility. Andre Beteille in his Caste, Class and Power, 1971 has shown how mobility in a closed and stratified caste system is difficult. MN Srinivas in his study of Coorgs showed that in such a system alternate methods like sanskritization are evolved to move up socially but it affects only the cultural aspects and not the structural aspects."

It's possible that what you think is a sty could turn out to be a more serious eye condition, such as a tumor. Close-up of dog sitting outsidecredit: GYRO PHOTOGRAPHY/amanaimages RF/amana images/Getty Images Canine Hordeolum Formally known as a hordeolum, a sty results from an eyelid gland infection. The most common agent of infection is the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, and the eyelid glands affected by a sty are called the Glands of Moll and Zeis. A sty is an abscess, which either will form a head and eventually burst or will reabsorb. If it forms a head, don't try to squeeze it; let it burst naturally or via treatment recommended by your vet. Sty Symptoms If your dog experiences a sty, this abscess can appear as one or more pimplelike bumps along the margins of the eyelid, often accompanied by eyelid swelling. Styes are painful, so be careful if touching the swelling when examining your pet's eye. Your dog could react with a nip. If the abscess has broken, you might see pus coming out of it."

"text": "Get key facts and figures about chronic dry eye Styes And Chalazions Health Guide More A sty, also called hordeolum, is a small abscess of the oil gland associated with an eyelash hair follicle. It typically contains Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, the cause of staph infections. When a sty develops, a small area of the upper or lower eyelid or the corner of the eye becomes red, tender and swollen. Swelling subsides gradually over a period of days after the sty develops an opening, and the pus is able to drain out. A chalazion, like a sty, is a swelling within the eyelid caused by inflammation of an oil gland. A chalazion differs from a sty in that it does not contain an active bacterial infection. A chalazion is sometimes the after effect of a sty. It is less tender but lasts longer. Natural oils from the eyelid's oil glands must drain through ducts out to the eyelashes. If debris blocks this normal drainage, it may cause a sty or chalazion."

A swollen eye can result from trauma, infections, or other injuries to the eye area. Other signs and symptoms can be associated with swelling of the eye, including excess tear production or discharge, eye irritation, redness, dryness, or obstructed or impaired vision, depending on the cause. Prolonged crying, trauma, or eye injury is a common cause of swollen eyes. Virtually any cause of inflammation to the eye area may manifest as eyelid swelling, although allergic reactions are likely the most common cause. With allergic reactions, the eyes may also be red and itchy as well as swollen. Rarely, systemic conditions (affecting the entire body) may result in fluid retention, including fluid retention in the tissues around the eyes. With Graves' disease of the thyroid gland, proptosis or exophthalmos can occur. This means protrusion or bulging of the eyeball within the eye socket.

We don't know if that's true, but what we do know is that having perfectly healthy eyes—excellent vision and clear eyes, free of pain or other symptoms—are crucial to your health and wellbeing. The good news is that it's easy to learn more about eye problems, symptoms, and the treatments that will keep you in tip-top shape. About 21 million Americans have some type of vision problem, according to a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While many of these problems are relatively benign, such as mild nearsightedness, other eye conditions like glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration can trigger vision loss and even blindness. Although many people start developing eye diseases in middle age, their symptoms may not appear until later on, when the condition is more advanced and harder to treat. In fact, some people may not realize they have a vision problem at all until their eye doctor detects it during a routine screening or a comprehensive dilated eye exam, which checks your retina, optic nerve, eye pressure, and more. The risk for developing an eye condition increases with age. But other factors can also up your odds of experiencing vision problems in the future. For example, African Americans and people with a family history of glaucoma may have a higher risk of developing the disease."

"text": "\"A chalazion is a lump in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a gland within the skin. Typically, this lump grows over days to weeks and is occasionally red, warm, or painful. The gland involved in the formation of a chalazion is a modified sweat gland that lies within the eyelid. This gland produces oil. When this gland becomes blocked, it can rupture and the inflammationprocess begins. A chalazion is not a sty. A sty can resemble a chalazion in the sense that it is also a lump in the eyelid. However, a sty involves glands and eyelash hair follicles that are closer to the skin surface of the eyelid. In addition, a sty is usually more painful and looks infected. Because a chalazion eventually becomes inflamed, red, warm and painful it should be expected to respond to an activated charcoal poultice."

Controlling them via Bluetooth with your i OS device is just plain awesome!Create an Arduino Bluetooth accessory!In the past, the only way to create an Apple-approved Bluetooth device was by being part of the MFi program. With Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0, individuals and small companies can develop their own products and market them without the overhead of Apple’s MFi regulations. That means you can talk to devices over Bluetooth LE with very little configuration and code, which opens up an entire world of opportunity for i OS developers. This tutorial will teach you how to create your own Bluetooth LE device using standard off-the-shelf components that you can control wirelessly with a simple i OS app. Since the focus of this project is building a BLE device, you’ll be using the i OS Core Bluetooth framework. If you’re unfamiliar with Core Bluetooth, check out our Introduction to Core Bluetooth: Building a Heart Rate Monitor tutorial. Let the building begin!Getting Started Using off-the-shelf components for this build makes creating a Bluetooth device a snap.

By Gerry Blackwell To network administrators for large networks, the need for proxy servers--intermediaries that stand sentinel between an internal network and the open Internet--is so basic, it goes almost without saying. But in smaller organizations that lack dedicated IT resources, the need may not be quite so self-evident. How they work Proxies intercept requests for Internet pages from users within a company's network and perform a number of chores related to protecting the network, improving performance and enforcing company Web use policies. This is sometimes referred to as a forward proxy server. It's the kind that virtually all organizations need."

"text": "Issue 2CRIME FORECASTING ON A SHOESTRING BUDGETBy Andreas M. Olligschlaeger, Tru North Data Systems, Inc. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past three or four years you’ll have heard of predictive policing, the latest of many buzzwords to emerge in the field. Media hype has been nothing short of spectacular, with many vendors – new and old – jumping into the fray and offering software products that promise to revolutionize policing as we know it. Naturally, all of this comes at a cost: not only are some of the products extremely expensive, but they have created sometimes unrealistic expectations of crime analysts. In a few rare instances city and police managers have been convinced that software can somehow reduce the need for human analysts or even replace them entirely. Unlike the term predictive policing, crime forecasting has been around for a long time (see for example Olligschlaeger, 1998). What is new, however, is that efforts are being made to incorporate crime forecasting techniques – some new, some old – into daily police operations. This, in essence, is what predictive policing is, although some of the techniques used overlap with crime analysis concepts that have been in use for decades. Unfortunately the media hype has led many to believe that predictive policing is a product that can be bought off the shelf. However, as Perry et al. ( 2013) and others have pointed out, predictive policing is not a software package or a statistical technique."

Bottom Line The Motorola Moto Z Force Droid combines several hot trends into a worry-free, expandable smartphone for Verizon Wireless users. The Motorola Moto Z Force Droid ($720 for 32GB; $770 for 64GB) has everything. With a big battery, a nearly unbreakable screen, and a selection of useful removable backs, it's the phone to buy on Verizon Wireless right now. sibling, the Moto Z Droid $218.55 at Amazon, is slimmer and costs $100 less, but has a smaller battery and lacks the super-tough screen. They're both excellent, but as with the Samsung Galaxy S7 $669.99 at T-Mobile and the Galaxy S7 Edge, we recommend the slightly larger model with the bigger battery."

"text": "\"Communication Media (Data Communications and Networking)The medium (or media, if there is more than one) is the physical matter or substance that carries the voice or data transmission. Many different types of transmission media are currently in use, such as copper (wire), glass or plastic (fiber-optic cable), or air (radio, infrared, microwave, or satellite). There are two basic types of media. Guided media are those in which the message flows through a physical media such as a twisted-pair wire, coaxial cable, or fiber-optic cable; the media \"\"guides\"\" the signal. Wireless media are those in which the message is broadcast through the air, such as infrared, microwave, or satellite. In many cases, the circuits used in WANs are provided by the various common carriers who sell usage of them to the public. We call the circuits sold by the common carriers communication services. The following sections describe the medium and the basic characteristics of each circuit type, in the event you were establishing your own physical network, whereas next topic describes how the circuits are packaged and marketed for purchase or lease from a common carrier. If your organization has leased a circuit from a common carrier, you are probably less interested in the media used and more interested in whether the speed, cost, and reliability of the circuit meets your needs. Guided Media Twisted-Pair Cable One of the most commonly used types of guided media is twisted-pair cable, insulated pairs of wires that can be packed quite close together (Figure 3.9)."

A shield volcano is a type of volcano usually built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. They are named for their low profile, resembling a warrior's shield lying on the ground. This is caused by the highly fluid (low viscosity) lava they erupt which travels farther than lava erupted from stratovolcanoes. This results in the steady accumulation of broad sheets of lava, building up the shield volcano's distinctive form. The shape of shield volcanoes is due to the low viscosity of their mafic lava.

"text": "Hydrocephalus Introduction Hydrocephalus is a condition that occurs when there is too much cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles (cavities) of the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced in the brain, and is needed by the body to protect the brain and spinal cord, and carry away waste from brain cells. It flows continuously through the ventricles of the brain and over the surface of the brain and spinal cord. Any excess CSF usually drains away from the brain and is absorbed by the body. For people with hydrocephalus, this doesn't happen, and the fluid instead builds up in the ventricles. Too much cerebrospinal fluid puts a harmful amount of pressure on tissues in the brain - treatment is needed to release this pressure. Hydrocephalus can be congenital (present at birth), or develop later in childhood or adulthood. Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a type of hydrocephalus, which usually develops in people over 60, because the drainage of the CSF gradually becomes blocked.^top Symptoms The symptoms of hydrocephalus can vary depending on your age, how the condition has developed, and other conditions you may have. In children, because the skull is still forming and the skull bones are not yet fixed together as in adulthood, hydrocephalus can cause the child's head to enlarge. You may notice that your child's head has noticeably increased in size, or seems unusually large."

"text": "\"What Happens When a Brain Bleeds?00366.jpg Question: I've been hearing about bleeding in the brain after a TBI. Can you explain how this happens and why it's so dangerous? What exactly is a subdural hematoma? Answer: Let's start with the basics. A hematoma is a tumor-like collection of blood, usually clotted, located outside a blood vessel. The subdural space is located between the dura mater (the outermost, toughest, and most fibrous of the three membranes covering the brain and spinal cord) and the arachnoid membrane (the middle of these three membranes). The epidural space is located on or outside the dura mater. Now, to answer your question, a subdural hematoma (illustrated below) is basically bleeding into the space between the brain cover (dura mater) and the brain itself. More specifically, there are blood vessels running through the brain and in the spaces between the outside of the brain and the inside of the skull. During a brain injury, any of these vessels can tear and bleed."

"text": "This lesson will discuss an economic slang term, brain drain. It will give a definition and explanation of the term, possible causes, and effects. To clarify, a few examples will also be included. Definition of Brain Drain Brain drain can be described as the process in which a country loses its most educated and talented workers to other countries through migration. This trend is considered a problem, because the most highly skilled and competent individuals leave the country, and contribute their expertise to the economy of other countries. The country they leave can suffer economic hardships because those who remain don't have the 'know-how' to make a difference. Brain drain can also be defined as the loss of the academic and technological labor force through the moving of human capital to more favorable geographic, economic, or professional environments. More often than not, the movement occurs from developing countries to developed countries or areas. Causes of Brain Drain There are various causes of brain drain, but they differ depending on the country that's experiencing it. The main causes include seeking employment or higher paying jobs, political instability, and to seek a better quality of life."

"text": "\"Overview Shunts have been used to treat hydrocephalus for more than 50 years. The devices allow excess cerebrospinal fluid to drain to another area of the body. How It Works A shunt usually consists of two catheters and a one-way valve. The valve regulates the amount, flow direction, and pressure of cerebrospinal fluid out of the brain’s ventricles. As the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid inside the brain increases, the one-way valve opens and the excessive fluid drains to the downstream cavity. Typically, the fluid gets \"\"shunted\"\" (moved) using the following shunt types: A ventriculoperitoneal shunt moves fluid from the ventricles of the brain to the abdominal cavity A ventriculoatrial shunt moves fluid from the ventricles of the brain to a chamber of the heart A lumboperitoneal shunt moves fluid from the lower back to the abdominal cavity Fixed and Adjustable Pressure Cerebrospinal Fluid Valves There are various types of shunt valves. The two most common are: Fixed pressure valves – These regulate the flow rate of cerebrospinal fluid based on a predetermined pressure setting Adjustable pressure valves – These valves regulate the flow of cerebrospinal fluid based on a pressure setting that can be adjusted. Using specially designed magnetic tools, your clinician can non-invasively change the pressure setting of the implanted adjustable valve during an office visit, without the need for another surgical procedure. Minimizing Excessive Drainage With a Siphon Control Device Both valve types can include overdrainage protection in the form of a siphon control device. The purpose of a siphon control device is to minimize excessive drainage due to gravity, which can cause more cerebrospinal fluid to drain when the individual is upright."

"text": "This page explains about external ventricular drainage and what to expect when your child comes to Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) to have this procedure. What is external ventricular drainage (EVD)? The brain and spinal cord are surrounded by cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF), which helps to protect them. The areas in the brain that contain this fluid are called ventricles. Sometimes CSF needs to be drained away from the ventricles. External ventricular drainage (EVD) is a temporary method of doing this. The EVD system uses a catheter (a thin, plastic tube), which is placed in the ventricle of the brain.

This means the amount of CSF that can drain away depends on the position of the drip chamber or cylinder beneath the ventricles."

"text": "What is 'Brain Drain'Brain drain is a slang term for a significant emigration of educated or talented individuals. A brain drain can result from turmoil within a nation, from there being better professional opportunities in other countries or from people seeking a better standard of living. In addition to occurring geographically, brain drain may occur at the organizational or industrial levels when workers perceive better pay, benefits or upward mobility within another company or industry. Next Up Dollar Drain Permanent Open Market Operations ... Emigration Bloodletting BREAKING DOWN 'Brain Drain'Brain drains cause countries, industries and organizations to lose valuable professionals. The term often describes the departure of doctors, scientists, engineers or financial professionals. When these people leave, their places of origin are harmed in two ways. First, expertise is lost with each emigrant, diminishing the supply of that profession. In the case of geographic brain drain, the country's economy is harmed as each professional represents surplus spending units. Professionals often earn large salaries, so their departures remove significant consumer spending from the country. Geographic, Organizational and Industrial Brain Drain Brain drain, also known as human capital flight, can occur on several levels."

"text": "Intracerebral Hemorrhage (Hemorrhagic Stroke)Authored by MCN Neurologists The term, “stroke,” is used to identify a variety of pathologic intracranial (within the skull) vascular processes. Basically, the many types of stroke can be broken down into two major categories: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke refers to blockage of an intracranial artery by a thrombus (clot) obstructing the artery, thereby depriving a portion of the brain from blood, oxygen, nutrients, etc. This is the most common type of stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke, or intracerebral hemorrhage, refers to a rupture of an artery (hemorrhage) in the brain resulting in a collection of blood within the brain substance. Hemorrhage into the head is subdivided by the compartments within the skull where bleeding may occur. The brain itself is floating in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) encased by membranes called the dura and arachnoid. Hemorrhage is therefore named according to where the blood accumulates. For example,• Hemorrhage above the dural membrane is called epidural hemorrhage. • Hemorrhage below the dural membrane, but above the arachnoid membrane, called is subdural hematoma. •"

"text": "\"They've been a vital aspect of movie theater visuals for years, but curved displays have become increasingly common on small screens—specifically high-end OLED televisions and adventurous smartphones. But are curves in your TV or phone really the wave of the future? Or just another marketing gimmick? Why Curved Works For Movie Theaters Many movie theaters, such as Hollywood's Cinerama Dome, employ horizontal-curved screens to correct for the distortions caused by projecting the image at very large sizes and super-wide formats like 23:9 Cinemascope. When you project an image onto a completely flat screen from a single fixed point (i.e. the projector room), the light has to travel farther from the projector lens to reach the edges of the screen than it does to the center. This causes the image to bulge along the sides, and pull in along the top and bottom. It's known as the pincushion effect, and it makes for a murky viewing experience. But by incorporating a horizontal curve to the screen—thereby pushing the edges of the screen closer to the projector—theater operators can negate the distortion and create an image that's perceived as flat by the audience. Even then, restraint is cautioned; as Dr. Raymond Soneira, CEO of Displaymate, explained to Gizmodo, \"\"the focal planes of almost all cameras are flat rather than curved, so a small amount of geometric distortion is introduced using a curved screen. The curvature should be kept small. \"\""

"text": "External ventricular drains and intracranial pressure monitoring Introduction The cranial vault contains brain tissue, blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The cranial vault is similar to a rigid box. As the volume of the three components within the skull (brain matter, blood and CSF) must remain equal, an increase in one component there must be accompanied by a decrease in another component. If there is not, an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) will occur. ICP can be monitored via a fibre optic monitor (Codman monitor) which is placed on the surface of the brain or in the brain or an external ventricular drain (EVD) system which is a closed sterile system allowing drainage of CSF via a silastic catheter tip which rests in the anterior horn of a lateral ventricle. The ventricular system produces CSF at approximately 25ml/hr (estimated at 0.35mls/kg/hr in children) by the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricles. The CSF circulates around the brain and spinal cord and is then reabsorbed via the arachnoid villi. The normal range of ICP is 0-15mm Hg with the upper limit being 20mm Hg. Aim This guideline is aimed at RCH staff involved in the use and management of EVD and ICP monitoring. Definition of terms External ventricular drain (EVD): A temporary system that allows drainage of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles to an external closed system Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring: A temporary device allowing measurement and recording of intracranial pressur Intracranial Pressure (ICP): Pressure within the skull."

The new organism remains attached as it grows, separating from the parent organism only when it is mature, leaving behind scar tissue. Since the reproduction is asexual, the newly created organism is a clone and is genetically identical to the parent organism. Organisms such as hydra use regenerative cells for reproduction in the process of budding. In hydra, a bud develops as an outgrowth due to repeated cell division at one specific site. These buds develop into tiny individuals and when fully mature, detach from the parent body and become new independent individuals.

Any opinions, findings, conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of UK Essays. Reproduction is the production of new individuals by an existing member or members of the same species. It is a fundamental characteristic of living things; the ability to self replicate in this way sets the living world apart from the non-living. Sexual reproduction is the exclusive form of reproduction in all higher invertebrates and in all vertebrates, whereas in few parthenogenesis is also possible. Also it occurs in many multicellular and in all unicellular organisms such as plants and animals. In sexual reproduction one sex cell (egg) fuses with another sex cell (sperm) producing a new cell called zygote. Fusion of gametes or sex cells is called fertilization. In the process of gamete formation nuclear division known as meiosis halves the normal chromosome number."

"text": "\"Previous (Sponge) Next (Sport)In biology, a spore is a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersion and survival for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, fungi, and some protozoans. They are typically unicellular and haploid, being produced by meiosis. Being units of asexual reproduction, spores do not combine with other spores, but directly form new haploid organisms. ( See spore formation and life cycles below. ) In addition to being reproductive structures, the term spore may also refer to the dormant stage of some bacteria or archaea; however, these more correctly are known as endospores and are not truly spores in the sense discussed in this article. The term spore can also be loosely applied to some animal resting stages. Spores' chief advantage is that, of all forms of progeny, spores require the least energy and materials to produce. In the case of spore-shedding vascular plants, such as ferns, wind distribution of very light spores provides great capacity for dispersal. Also, spores are less subject to animal predation than seeds because they contain almost no food reserve."

Be sure to include sketches of each method of reproducing. Mitosis and cytokinesis are the processes by which eukaryotic cells divide. In multicellular organisms, the daughter cells that result are separate cells but do not live independent lives. For example, new skin cells are part of skin tissue and cannot live independently. In multicellular organisms, mitosis and cytokinesis are not considered methods by which an organism reproduces. Most unicellular organisms, and a few multicellular organisms, use cell division to reproduce, in a process called asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, one organism produces one or more new organisms that are identical to itself and that live independently of it. The organism that produces the new organism or organisms is the parent."

See Structure of Mushrooms Fungi ( plural, the singular noun is fungus) are classified within the Biological Fungi Kingdom, so apart from plants, animals, and bacteria. Why are fungi interesting and important ? Fungi play key roles in many biological processes, including many processes that support, and in other cases adversely affect, other forms of life. For example, the types of fungi in soil affect the types of plants that thrive there, hence also the animals likely to make their home in that area.

The surrounding condition in which the mold resides, is the factor that causes either type of reproduction by the mold. Before learning the specifics, click here to view how Rhizopus stolonifer, as a member of the phylum Zygomycota, compares to other phylum within the kingdom of Fungi. When the mold comes in contact with a substrate, such as bread, it first spreads over the surface and penetrates it while sending hyphae inward to absorb the nutrients. Rhizopus stolonifer grows primarily as mycelia, which consists of long filamentous cells, or hyphae, that lack cross walls, known as septa. The lack of septa enables the mold to be named coenocytic. Coenocytic means that the mold is a multinucleate cell enclosed by one cell wall that contains chitin. Asexual Reproduction In asexual reproduction, special non-motile hyphae called sporangiophores produce sporangia that form in an upright fashion. The sporangia at the tips of the upright hyphae develop as bulbous black portions."

"text": "\"Asexual Reproduction Many plants are able to propagate themselves using asexual reproduction. This method does not require the investment required to produce a flower, attract pollinators, or find a means of seed dispersal. Asexual reproduction produces plants that are genetically identical to the parent plant because no mixing of male and female gametes takes place. Traditionally, these plants survive well under stable environmental conditions when compared with plants produced from sexual reproduction because they carry genes identical to those of their parents. Many different types of roots exhibit asexual reproduction [link]. The corm is used by gladiolus and garlic. Bulbs, such as a scaly bulb in lilies and a tunicate bulb in daffodils, are other common examples. A potato is a stem tuber, while parsnip propagates from a taproot. Ginger and iris produce rhizomes, while ivy uses an adventitious root (a root arising from a plant part other than the main or primary root), and the strawberry plant has a stolon, which is also called a runner.

List the major structural and functional difference between fungi and bacteria.1 following 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: FUNGI A fungus (plural fungi) is a eukaryotic organism that digests its food externally and absorbs the nutrient molecules into its cells. Along with bacteria, fungi are the primary decomposers of dead organic matter in most terrestrial ecosystems. Many fungi have important symbiotic relationships with many other organisms. Mycorrhizal symbiosis between plants and fungi is particularly important; over 90% of all plant species engage in some kind of mycorrhizal relationship with fungi and are dependent upon this relationship for survival. Fungi are also used extensively by humans: yeasts are responsible for fermentation of beer and bread, and mushroom farming and gathering is a large industry in many countries. The branch of biology involving the study of fungi is known as mycology. Fungi were originally classified as plants, however have since been separated as they are heterotrophs. This means they do not fix their own carbon through photosynthesis, but use carbon fixed by other organisms for metabolism. Fungi are now thought to be more closely related to animals than to plants, and are placed with animals in the monophyletic group of opisthokonts."

Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Asexual reproduction Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single parent, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it is reproduction which almost always does not involve meiosis, ploidy reduction, or fertilization. The offspring will be exact genetic copies of the parent, except in the specific case of automixis. A more stringent definition is agamogenesis which is reproduction without the fusion of gametes. Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as the archaea, bacteria, and protists. Many plants and fungi reproduce asexually as well. While all prokaryotes reproduce asexually, mechanisms for lateral gene transfer such as conjugation, transformation and transduction are sometimes likened to sexual reproduction. A complete lack of sexual reproduction is relatively rare among multicellular organisms, particularly animals. It is not entirely understood why the ability to reproduce sexually is so common among them. Current hypotheses suggest that asexual reproduction may have short term benefits when rapid population growth is important or in stable environments, while sexual reproduction offers a net advantage by allowing more rapid generation of genetic diversity, allowing adaptation to changing environments."

Some plants have developed special type of asexual reproduction called the vegetative reproduction which takes place via the parts of the root , the stem , the leaves or the buds , there are two kinds of vegetative reproduction which are the natural vegetative reproduction and the artificial vegetative reproduction . The natural vegetative reproduction takes place by many ways such as reproduction by the rhizomes , the corms , the tubers , the bulbs , and the offshoots , And the artificial vegetative reproduction takes place by three ways which are cutting , grafting and the tissue culture . The asexual reproduction produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes , They are genetically identical to the parent plants and each other , except when the mutations occur . Asexual reproduction in plants Advantages Of the asexual reproduction The organism that reproduces asexually has the ability to take many different extensive forms which allow asexual reproduction to succeed in various environments ? T he asexual reproduction is only performed in the organisms that often stay in one place , It does not need mobility , So , most plants have a great ability to create their offspring as this process doesn’t need to move to another place . The asexual reproduction has rapid increase of offspring which is very helpful in producing lots of offspring ? It lets the plants make lots of offspring effectively which will help them in increasing their genes . The asexual reproduction is not complex , It requires less energy compared to the sexual reproduction , and There is no need for much time or energy to produce the offspring , so , the plants can produce many offspring without considering the amount of time or energy to consume . The asexual reproduction does not need to look for a mate as looking for a mate is difficult or impossible with the sexual reproduction especially when colonizing new areas and it needs only one parent which is ready to reproduce ."

Unlike sexual reproduction, which requires genetic material from two parent organisms in order to create an offspring, asexual reproduction occurs when a single organism reproduces without the genetic input of another. Because of this, a single individual organism is able to produce a nearly exact copy of itself. Asexual reproduction is common among living things and takes a variety of forms. Bacteria and Binary Fission Many single-celled organisms rely on binary fission to reproduce themselves. All bacteria reproduce by binary fission. Fragmentation and Blackworms Many species of annelids (worms) reproduce via an asexual process called fragmentation. Included in this category of worms are California blackworms, or mudworms. These worms are hermaphroditic -- they have both male and female reproductive parts -- and can reproduce sexually. However, many times these worms will reproduce using fragmentation."

God is faithful and honors faithfulness. As I was reading in one of my favorite books this morning (Rick Renner's Sparking Gems from the Greek), Rick was discussing the bitter effect of unforgiveness. I would like to share some of his thoughts with you today in this blog. Luke 17:6 If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. In Luke 17:1-6, Jesus taught His disciples about bitterness and unforgiveness and about how to remove these evil forces from one's life. As an illustration, Jesus likened these forces to the sycamine tree that was so well known in that part of the world."

"text": "Propositions First published Mon Dec 19, 2005; substantive revision Thu Jan 25, 2018The term ‘proposition’ has a broad use in contemporary philosophy. It is used to refer to some or all of the following: the primary bearers of truth-value, the objects of belief and other “propositional attitudes” (i.e., what is believed, doubted, etc. [ 1] ), the referents of that -clauses, and the meanings of sentences. One might wonder whether a single class of entities can play all these roles. If David Lewis (1986, p. 54) is right in saying that “the conception we associate with the word ‘proposition’ may be something of a jumble of conflicting desiderata ,” then it will be impossible to capture our conception in a consistent definition. The best way to proceed, when dealing with quasi-technical words like ‘proposition’, may be to stipulate a definition and proceed with caution, making sure not to close off any substantive issues by definitional fiat. Propositions, we shall say, are the sharable objects of the attitudes and the primary bearers of truth and falsity. This stipulation rules out certain candidates for propositions, including thought- and utterance-tokens, which presumably are not sharable, and concrete events or facts, which presumably cannot be false. These consequences fit well with contemporary usage. Our definition leaves open many of the questions dividing propositionalists: which additional roles are propositions fit to play?"

Investing 8/06/2015 @ 3:36PM 11,275 views How Quant Traders Use Sentiment To Get An Edge On The Market According to Google Trends, the word “sentiment analysis” has been gaining steady traction over the past 5 years. Sentiment refers to the attitude expressed by an individual regarding a certain topic. When it is applied to trading, sentiment can simply be used as a directional signal to figure out whether you should long or short stocks within your portfolio. The most conventional way sentiment has been applied to trading is to long stocks when there are positive information on a company and short stocks when there are negative information on a company. A typical behavioral assumption is assuming that if there are positive information on a particular company, it will draw other traders to purchase the stock and in return increase the stock price. Whereas, if there are negative information, it will put fear into traders and tempt them to sell their stocks which in return will decrease the stock price of that particular company. As humans, we can easily interpret the attitude of an article. However, the problem lies when we have 10 or even 1000 companies in our portfolio, most of which are being mentioned frequently in the news or social media sites. The average adult reads 300 wpm and takes approximately 2 minutes to read an article with 600 words."

"text": "\"Stoic Attitude By PHIL WITTMEYER & Others The Stoic attitude is often selected when the virtues required to fulfill the soul's agenda are patience and endurance. Think of Sisyphus as he stoically muscled his boulder up that hill, only to watch it tumble down again; think of Job, who weathered calamity after calamity, only to lose everything. The Stoic bears suffering without complaint. How Stoics Look Stoics appear emotionally detached and resigned, as if they feel a quiet resolve about something that cannot be altered. They mask the countenance of the classic \"\"poker-face,\"\" making them difficult to read by friends, family, and co-workers. In fact, their faces can look like masks and are often long-drawn as if weighted by the gravity of their burdens. When their eyes are not frustratingly impassive, they can appear, in a poetic sense, like dark chasms that act as reservoirs for the failures, disappointments, and losses of humanity. In the gaze of the Stoic you may see the flickering images of what the whole of mankind has endured in the world, and for that reason alone -- and perhaps more so than the other attitudes -- the Stoic is perhaps closer to understanding what is truly required to be human. Tranquility & Resignation - How To Identify What The Positive and Negative Poles Feel Like In the positive pole of Tranquility, feelings of calmness and serenity comprise the emotional tones. The pulse is even, the posture relaxed, the limbs are loose, the movement of the body is languid and unhurried, and there is a sense of satisfaction in everyday tasks, with a feeling that everything in the world is connected just the way it should be."

Positive Commands: The Means—A Focus on Attitudes The positive One Another passages in Scripture express the means and the methods for living as members of the body of Christ and as brethren together in the family of God.

Attitudes can be like cobwebs which clutter up the mind and cause us to fail in the purposes of God. Or they can be like an interstate highway to an automobile, smoothing the way to our destination. Swindoll writes: This may shock you, but I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude is that ‘single string’ that keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope."

"text": "\"Check Your Attitude By Dale A. Robbins According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, the word \"\"attitude\"\" means \"\"an internal position or feeling with regard to something else.\"\" Other words often used as synonyms are: \"\"disposition, feeling, mood, opinion, sentiment, temper, tone, perspective, frame of mind, outlook, view, or morale. \"\" Airplane pilots often use \"\"attitude\"\" to describe their horizontal relationship with the runway then they land. If their attitude isn’t aligned properly, the plane will make contact with the ground at the wrong angle and it will cause them to crash. In essence, your attitude is your inward disposition toward other things, such as people or circumstances. As in with an airplane, attitude is applied whenever you must deal with something other than yourself. According to God’s word, when you become a Christian, a part of your new creation is the development of new attitudes — your attitude should become like that of Jesus. The Bible says, \"\"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:\"\" (Philippians 2:5). \"\" You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off the old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds.\"\" ( Ephesians 4:22 NIV)Bad Attitudes Most of us can easily identify bad attitudes when they are displayed outwardly in our words or actions, such a negativeness, criticalness, rebellion, defiance, impatience, uncooperative, apathy, discouragement, independence, presumption, arrogance, self-centeredness, rudeness and such like."

The IAT was introduced in the scientific literature in 1998 by Anthony Greenwald, Debbie Mc Ghee, and Jordan Schwartz. [ 1] The IAT is now widely used in social psychology research and, to some extent, in clinical, cognitive, and developmental psychology research. The IAT is the subject of much controversy regarding precisely what it measures, and the lack of reproducibility of many of its results.

[ 2] If memories that are not accessible to awareness can influence our actions, associations can also influence our attitudes and behavior. Thus, measures that tap into individual differences in associations of concepts should be developed. This would allow researchers to understand attitudes that cannot be measured through explicit self-report methods due to lack of awareness or social-desirability bias. [ 3] In essence,the purpose of the IAT was to reliably assess individual differences in a manner producing large effect sizes [4] . The first IAT article was published three years later in 1998. ["

"text": "\"Cognitive Dissonance Theory\"\"Let your pretense become your reality\"\" (Myers, 1999, p. 293). Leon Festinger understood this. A social psychologist from Stanford University, he developed cognitive dissonance theory in 1957. This was spurred when he saw the need to avoid dissonance as basic as the need for safety and food (Griffin, 2003). \"\" Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance has been one of the most influential theories in social psychology\"\" (Franzoi, 2000, p. 170). It was developed in the concept of homeostasis, which is maintaining equilibrium within an organism (or within a person, in this case) (Neel, 1977). Cognitive dissonance theory can be boiled down to the following concept: We feel motivated to justify our actions (Myers, 1999). It predicts that we spend most of our time rationalizing our behavior instead of pursuing rational action (Franzoi, 2000). Cognitive dissonance is defined as a feeling of discomfort caused by performing an action that is inconsistent with one's attitudes (Franzoi, 2000). Basically, people have a need to try to bring their attitudes in line with their actions (Myers, 1999)."

"text": "\"Implicit-association test From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Implicit Association Test)navigation search The implicit-association test ( IAT) is a measure within social psychology designed to detect the strength of a person's automatic association between mental representations of objects ( concepts) in memory. The IAT was introduced in the scientific literature in 1998 by Anthony Greenwald, Debbie Mc Ghee, and Jordan Schwartz. [ 1] The IAT is now widely used in social psychology research and, to some extent, in clinical, cognitive, and developmental psychology research. The IAT is the subject of much controversy regarding precisely what it measures, and the lack of reproducibility of many of its results.

[ 2] If memories that are not accessible to awareness can influence our actions, associations can also influence our attitudes and behavior. Thus, measures that tap into individual differences in associations of concepts should be developed. This would allow researchers to understand attitudes that cannot be measured through explicit self-report methods due to lack of awareness or social-desirability bias. [ 3] In essence,the purpose of the IAT was to reliably assess individual differences in a manner producing large effect sizes [4] . The first IAT article was published three years later in 1998. ["

After all, those new to PPC are probably most interested in how much they’ll be expected to shell out to advertise on Google, and whether they can even afford it!Unfortunately, there’s no easy, one-size-fits-all answer. The most common (and infuriating) answer is, “It depends. ”The cost of Ad Words depends on several variables. In this post, I’ll explain how these variables will impact your ad spend, and demystify the concepts you’ll need to understand in order to set a realistic budget for your ad campaigns (and determine if you should use Ad Words at all). Here's a high-level, TL;DR preview of what you'll learn in more detail in this guide: Google Ad Words is based on an auction system that rewards businesses who have high-quality ad campaigns with lower costs and better ad placement. You can exercise tight control over how your Ad Words budget is spent using tactics like ad scheduling, geotargeting, and device targeting. The average cost per click in Google Ad Words is between $1 and $2 on the search network. The average CPC on the Display Network is under $1.

Email's great because you don't have to be available at the same time as your conversation partner to communicate. It allows us to keep projects moving when our co-workers are unavailable or on the other side of the world. There's one problem: most of us are drowning in emails. The average person using email for business receives and sends over 100 emails a day, according to a report published by the Radicati Group. On top of that, emails are all too easily misunderstood. A recent study by Sendmail found that 64% of people have sent or received an email that caused unintended anger or confusion. Because of the volume of emails we send and receive, and because emails are often misinterpreted, it's important to write emails clearly and concisely.

"text": "Interpreters and Translators Interpreters and translators enable the cross-cultural communication necessary in today's society by converting one language into another. However, these language specialists do more than simply translate words-they relay concepts and ideas between languages. They must thoroughly understand the subject matter in which they work so that they are able to convert information from one language, known as the source language, into another, the target language. In addition, they must remain sensitive to the cultures associated with their languages of expertise. Interpreters and translators are often discussed together because they share some common traits. For example, both need a special ability, known as language combination. This enables them to be fluent in at least two languages-a native, or active, language and a secondary, or passive, language; a small number of interpreters and translators are fluent in two or more passive languages. Their active language is the one that they know best and into which they interpret or translate, and their passive language is one of which they have nearly perfect knowledge. Although some people do both, interpretation and translation are different professions. Each requires a distinct set of skills and aptitudes, and most people are better suited for one or the other."

The history of modem office automation began with the typewriter and the copy machine, which mechanized previously manual tasks. However, increasingly office automation refers not just to the mechanization of tasks but to the conversion of information to electronic form as well. The advent of the personal computer in the early 1980s revolutionized office automation. Popular operating systems like DOS (Disk Operating System) and user interfaces like Microsoft Corp.'s Windows dominate office computer systems.

Many scholars now use the term chattel slavery to refer to this specific sense of legalised, de jure slavery.

The European form was called chattel slavery. A chattel slave is a piece of property, with no rights. Slavery within Africa was different. A slave might be enslaved in order to pay off a debt or pay for a crime. Slaves in Africa lost the protection of their family and their place in society through enslavement. But eventually they or their children might become part of their master’s family and become free. This was unlike chattel slavery, in which enslaved Africans were slaves for life, as were their children and grandchildren. The treatment of slaves in Africa varied widely. Ottobah Cuguano, a former slave, remembered slaves as being ‘well fed … and treated well’."

In many African societies where slavery was prevalent, the enslaved people were not treated as chattel slaves and were given certain rights in a system similar to indentured servitude elsewhere in the world.

The story of slavery in the Roman Empire at the time of the New Testament is a complicated one. Many have asked why the early church didn't universally denounce slavery, but the characteristics of slavery were not universal enough to allow for such a simple, sweeping response. Slavery in New Testament times had shades of early American chattel slavery, modern sex trafficking, Old Testament debt bondage, and even apprenticeships and internships. Some slaves were kidnapped, and other slaves owned slaves of their own. Some worked at hard labor their whole lives while others became business partners with their owners. These individual situations call for individual judgments. Source of slaves Slavery in the Roman Empire was not based on ethnicity or color, although ethnicity did play a role in determining what a slave might do. Greeks and Egyptians tended to be better educated while Europeans were valued more for strength and stamina. Most valued were Greeks, who were already educated in medicine or teaching, or any slave who could cook. -"

"text": "\"5 Ways The U. S. Prison Industrial Complex Mimics Slavery By Gina M. Florio Feb 17 2016Larry Busacca/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images The sound of chains, heavy and oppressive, kicked off Kendrick Lamar's performance at the 2016 Grammy Awards. There was nothing subtle about it — he was reminding America that racial oppression is, and always has been, a primary factor of the U. S. prison system. Lamar's performance was a bold representation of the prison-industrial complex. For those who need a refresher, \"\"the prison-industrial complex\"\" refers to the overlapping interests of the government and private companies in mass incarceration, and the fundamental relationship between punishment and commerce. In America, imprisoned individuals are forced to work for corporations. And the way in which they are thrown into this labor echoes the kind of slavery we learned about in our history books — the kind of slavery Lamar depicted at the Grammys. In his song \"\" The Blacker the Berry ,\"\" Kendrick Lamar proclaims, \"\"I said they treat me like a slave, cah' me black / Woi, we feel a whole heap of pain, cah' we black.\"\" He continues on with, \"\"They put me in a chain.\"\" Some may hear this as nothing more than imagery, but it's a reality for millions of black people who are incarcerated. Leandra T. Lambert, a black seminarian in Brooklyn and a colleague of mine from Harvard University, tells Bustle that \"\"the 21st century chattel system\"\" has robbed many blacks of their voice for far too long."

"text": "\"The Language of Slavery Freedom seeker While African Americans were in physical bondage, the minds and spirits of these individuals remained free. The terminology used in the \"\"Learn About the Underground Railroad\"\" section of this website reflects this freedom of spirit by referring to escaping African Americans as \"\"freedom seekers,\"\" rather than runaways, fugitives or escapees. These labels were constructs of the Southern slave-holding societal structure, or by some well-meaning but nonetheless patronizing abolitionists. As such, these terms tend to reflect how slave-holding society viewed African American efforts toward freedom. Instead, the National Park Service and its partners use language reflective of the goal of liberty that Underground Railroad participants dreamed of, strove to, and eventually grasped. The term \"\"freedom seekers,\"\" then, demonstrates what was in the hearts of freedom seeking African Americans who acted to make liberty a reality. Fugitive \"\"Fugitive\"\" was a common term in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that is still used today to describe the freedom seeker. The term was attached to the various Fugitive Slave Laws (1793, 1850) passed by the U. S. Congress, and suggests that the \"\"fugitive\"\" was criminal to escape from bondage. The language employed was key in attempts to preserve the view that the law was on the side of slaveholding society -- which it was -- while reinforcing the view that the \"\"fugitive\"\" was incapable of acting responsibly in a society governed by the rule of law. Conductor The term \"\"conductor\"\" refers to an individual who escorted or guided freedom seekers between stations or safe houses."

Gradually it developed into a fixed system every bit as rigid and codified as negro slavery was to become. In fact, negro slavery was efficiently established in colonial America because Black slaves were governed, organized and controlled by the structures and organization that were first used to enslave and control Whites. Black slaves were “late corners fitted into a system already developed.” ( Ulrich B. Phillips, Life and Labor in the Old South, pp. 25-26). White slavery was the historic base upon which negro slavery was constructed. “… the important structures, labor ideologies and social relations necessary for slavery already had been established within indentured servitude… white servitude… in many ways came remarkably close to the ‘ideal type’ of chattel slavery which later became associated with the African experience” (Hilary Mc D. Beckles, White Servitude, pp. 6-7 and 71). “ The practice developed and tolerated in the kidnapping of Whites laid the foundation for the kidnapping of Negroes.” ("

On this page Compared to historical slavery Modern forms of slavery Find out more Print this page Compared to historical slavery Modern slavery There are different forms of modern slavery, including 'bonded labour' ©Although slavery is illegal in every country in the modern world, it still exists, and even on the narrowest definition of slavery it's likely that there are far more slaves now than there were victims of the Atlantic slave trade. The last country to abolish slavery was the African state of Mauritania, where a 1981 presidential decree abolished the practice; however, no criminal laws were passed to enforce the ban. In August 2007 Mauritania's parliament passed legislation making the practice of slavery punishable by up to 10 years in prison. Richard Re, writing in 2002, stated: Conservative estimates indicate that at least 27 million people, in places as diverse as Nigeria, Indonesia, and Brazil, live in conditions of forced bondage. Some sources believe the actual figures are 10 times as large. Richard Re, A Persisting Evil: The Global Problem of Slavery, Harvard International Review, 2002Changes Modern slavery differs from historical slavery in several ways: There are more slaves than ever before, but they are a smaller proportion of the human race No-one seriously defends slavery any more Slavery is illegal everywhere and so requires corruption and crime to continue. The power of the slave owner is always subject to the power of the state; slavery can only continue to exist if governments permit it to, and some writers claim that government corruption is a leading cause of the persistence of slavery Slaves are cheaper than ever and can generate high economic returns. Modern slavery is very cheap, and Kevin Bales has argued that this has made modern slavery even worse than that of Atlantic Slave Trade: In the United States before the Civil War, the average slave cost the equivalent of about fifty thousand dollars. I'm not sure what the average price of a slave is today, but it can't be more than fifty or sixty dollars."

"text": "By Mel Barger From 1861 to 1865, some of the worst savagery ever staged on Earth took place in North America. When it ended more than 620 thousand men were dead and many thousands more were blinded, crippled, disfigured, and otherwise maimed and injured. Towns and homes had been burned, railroads had been torn up, crops had been destroyed, and forests had been ravaged. Had a visitor from Outer Space witnessed this tragedy, he could only have assumed that millions of people in the United States had somehow gone temporarily insane. Yet this horrible Civil War period has been consistently glorified as a time when the nation managed to abolish the curse of slavery and preserve a Union that had been fragmenting. The prime actors in this tragedy have been deified like Abraham Lincoln or somewhat demonized like Jefferson Davis, while the battles and other events have been continuously exalted in print and on screen. It’s likely, for example, that more books have been published relating to the Civil War than any event in American history. In view of the romance and excitement built around the Civil War, it is almost heretical to ask if it was necessary . Were there political actions that could have prevented the war while achieving the goal of abolishing slavery and maintaining the Union? Would it have been possible to find a peaceful solution that would have headed off war and met the fundamental aims of the different constituencies involved in the conflict?"

"text": "\"Carey Sublette Answered Jun 25, 2015 · Author has 553 answers and 704k answer views What do you mean by \"\"slavery\"\"? There are a multitude of forms of servitude, where one person is bound to a place or person, and is required to provide his/her labor and other services to others, from which they cannot release themselves. Bound servitude in its many forms is about as old as mankind - many primitive cultures have it, and it is found all over the world. The term \"\"slavery\"\" to modern readers is pretty much defined by the practice of plantation chattel slavery on which much New World agricultural enterprise was based. But this differs markedly from how other forms servitude also called \"\"slavery\"\" were or are practiced. For example much of the practice of slavery in Africa has been more like what Westerners call \"\"indentured servitude\"\" which is not much like owning people as property as was practiced in plantation economies. But Europeans who came to the New World through indenturing were never regarded as slaves. Serfdom is also rather \"\"slavery like\"\". A serf was not free to leave the land he was bound to, and was obligated to provide labor to the estate, but could not be bought or sold. \"\" Military slavery\"\" was found throughout the world, where people are forced to serve as soldiers - but it can be a bit hard to distinguish this from the modern practice of drafting civilians, which is not regarded as slavery very often."

"text": "Homework Help > History What impact did slavery have on the economy, society and politics of the U. S. in 1800-1860?print Print document PDF list Cite Expert Answersteachersage | Certified Educator Slavery had an overwhelming impact on the economy, politics, and society of the United States during the first sixty years of the nineteenth century. The most important effect was to divide American political culture into two increasingly irreconcilable factions until the differences exploded into a civil war. While the United States remained an agrarian country during this period, the vast majority of the industrial development, or building of factories to turn raw materials into finished goods, took place in the north. Because of slavery, the southern states could base their wealth on growing and supplying raw materials, primarily cotton, which was then exported to England to be turned into cloth in the British mills. The region's economic dependence on slavery made it difficult for the south to abolish the institution because the plantations could not turn a profit without both a reliable labor supply (slaves cannot quit) and the almost nonexistent cost of a captive work force. However, at the start of the Civil War, the south was at a huge industrial disadvantage and knew it. It had no base for manufacturing weapons. It hoped that its superior military leadership and possibly the support of England, which depended on southern cotton supplies to keep its textile factories running, would lead to a quick victory. Politically, slavery polarized people to the point it paralyzed the country, dominating everything from western expansion (would new states be free or slave?) to Supreme Court decisions."

After a devoutly religious upbringing, Tappan moved to Boston at age 15 to enter the dry goods business. Six years later he launched his own firm in Portland, Maine, and then in 1809 moved the business to Montreal. Tappan struggled with the business both in Canada and, after the outbreak of the War of 1812, back in the United States. But in 1826 he started a new company in New York City. This business, a silk-importing firm, was successful, and Arthur and his brother Lewis became wealthy. The Panic of 1837 forced the Tappans to close their doors, but the brothers founded another lucrative enterprise when they opened the first commercial credit-rating service in the 1840s. Arthur Tappan early and consistently used his wealth to support missionary societies, colleges, and theological seminaries. Conservative in his moral outlook, he founded the New York Journal of Commerce in 1827 to provide a newspaper free of “immoral advertisements.” He also backed movements for temperance and stricter observance of the Sabbath and against the use of tobacco."

"text": "\"David Lyons Excerpt from: David Lyons, Corrective Justice, Equal Opportunity, and the Legacy of Slavery and Jim Crow , 84 Boston University Law Review 1375-1404, 1375- 1378, 1386-1397 (December, 2004) (167 Footnotes Omitted) Chattel slavery was a brutally cruel, repressive, and exploitative system of racial subjugation. When it was abolished, the former slaveholders owed the freedmen compensation for the terrible wrongs of enslavement. Ex-slaves sought reparations, especially in the form of land, but few received any sort of recompense. The wrongs they suffered were never repaired. No one alive today can be held accountable for the wrongs of chattel slavery, and those who might now be called upon to pay reparations were not even born until many decades after slavery ended. For some scholars, the lack of accountable parties makes current reparations claims preposterous. Such reactions are understandable, but they do not settle the matter. My concern in this paper is not the legal but the moral merits of reparations claims. If we think of such claims as referring only to chattel slavery and as calling for transfers among individuals, these claims face serious difficulties, which I discuss in Part I. Recent legal claims, however, diverge from that pattern by seeking recompense from corporations for their complicity in chattel slavery, or from governmental bodies for their responsibility for more recent wrongs. Although no claim has yet been successful, if such suits were to succeed, they would bring some measure of relief and vindication to current claimants, but they would fail to address the conditions that underlie reparations claims, namely, deeply entrenched systemic conditions that require large-scale corrective programs."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Part of a series on Slavery Contemporary Historical By country or region Religion Opposition and resistance Relatedv t e The issue of slavery was one that was historically treated with concern by the Catholic Church. Throughout most of human history, slavery has been practised and accepted by many cultures and religions around the world. Certain passages in the Old Testament sanctioned forms of slavery [1] and the New Testament taught slaves to obey their masters. [ 2] After the legalisation of Christianity under the Roman Empire, there was a growing sentiment that many kinds of slavery were not compatible with Christian conceptions of charity and justice; some argued against all forms of slavery while others, including the influential Thomas Aquinas, argued the case for penal slavery subject to certain restrictions. The Christian west did succeed in almost entirely enforcing that a free Christian could not be enslaved, for example when a captive in war, but this itself was subject to continual improvement and was not consistently applied throughout history. The Middle Ages also witnessed the emergence of orders of monks such as the Mercedarians who were founded for the purpose of ransoming Christian slaves. By the end of the Medieval period, enslavement of Christians had been largely abolished throughout Europe although enslavement of non-Christians remained permissible, and had seen a revival in Spain and Portugal. Although some Catholic clergy, religious orders and Popes owned slaves, and the naval galleys of the Papal States were to use captured Muslim galley slaves, [3] Roman Catholic teaching began to turn more strongly against \"\"unjust\"\" forms of slavery in general, beginning in 1435, prohibiting the enslavement of the recently baptised, [4] culminating in pronouncements by Pope Paul III in 1537. However, when the Age of Discovery greatly increased the number of slaves owned by Christians, the response of the church, under strong political pressures, was confused and ineffective in preventing the establishment of slave societies in the colonies of Catholic countries. Papal bulls such as Dum Diversas, Romanus Pontifex and their derivatives, sanctioned slavery and were used to justify enslavement of natives and the appropriation of their lands during this era. ["

"text": "Romanticized Slavery, Enslaved Romanticism Though slavery was a problem on both sides of the Atlantic during the Romantic era, England eliminated slavery early in the 19th century, abolishing the slave trade in 1807, and ending slavery in 1834. In England during this time period, images and discussions of slavery were prevalent within the public imagination, particularly through court cases and abolitionist literature and pamphlets. The Romantic poets, though, often dealt with issues of slavery in more oblique ways, desiring not only to distinguish themselves from the Abolitionist movement, but to discuss and portray slavery in ways not laden with sentimentalism. Indeed, while much contemporary Abolitionist literature at the time revolved around sentimental appeals, Romantic poets invoked images of slavery in order to bring the issue closer to the minds of the English people, making them think less about an evil and morally wrong institution, but more about the different ways the system perpetuated and fostered those evils. Early in the Romantic movement, court cases such as the Somerset Case —erroneously, though popularly, thought to be the first case to abolish slavery in England—and the Zong Case —a case where the Zong’s owners (Gregson) were refused payment for insurance claims of over 100 slaves drowned at sea—would also popularize the issue. These court cases, however, were never about human rights, but rather concerned discrepancies over property rights. What these court cases demonstrated – particularly to the Romantics – was how slavery was perceived within the legal system as being merely a matter merely about chattel property and economic prosperity. The depiction of slaves as mere pieces of chattel (movable pieces of property) would persist throughout the era of slavery. Because the Romantics would utilize the concept of slavery in various ways and for different purposes, scholars have attributed several possible reasons to the Romantics for doing so. James Walvin argues that the issue of slavery, as portrayed by the Romantics, was ultimately an attempt to oppose tyranny and to advocate economic reform."

HAWKINS-LEO´ NDavid Walker’s birth date has been varyingly estimated as September 25 in 1795, 1796, or 1797 in Wilmington, North Carolina. 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)."

In Congress, it was passed by the Senate on April 8, 1864, and by the House on January 31, 1865. The amendment was ratified by the required number of states on December 6, 1865. On December 18, 1865, Secretary of State William H. Seward proclaimed its adoption. It was the first of the three Reconstruction Amendments adopted following the American Civil War. Since the American Revolution, states had divided into states that allowed and states that prohibited slavery. Slavery was implicitly permitted in the original Constitution through provisions such as Article I, Section 2, Clause 3, commonly known as the Three-Fifths Compromise, which detailed how each slave state's enslaved population would be factored into its total population count for the purposes of apportioning seats in the United States House of Representatives and direct taxes among the states. Though many slaves had been declared free by President Abraham Lincoln 's 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, their post-war status was uncertain. On April 8, 1864, the Senate passed an amendment to abolish slavery. After one unsuccessful vote and extensive legislative maneuvering by the Lincoln administration, the House followed suit on January 31, 1865."

Slavery is one of the things that everyone agrees is unethical. In fact there is such general agreement that most people would probably say that 'slavery is wrong just because it's wrong'. Even those who practice slavery don't usually try to defend it - they make excuses or attempt to avoid being caught; which suggests that they know that they are doing wrong. Why is slavery wrong? Although slavery does seem 'obviously wrong' it's worth listing some of the reasons why it's wrong. Slavery increases total human unhappiness The slave-owner treats the slaves as the means to achieve the slave-owner's ends, not as an end in themselves Slavery exploits and degrades human beings Slavery violates human rights: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights explicitly forbids slavery and many of the practices associated with slavery All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

"text": "\"On \"\"Riprap\"\"Richard Gray A 'riprap', Snyder tells us elsewhere, is 'a cobble of stones laid on steep slick rock to make a trail for horses in mountains'; it provides sure footing for a literal ascent just as poetry, 'a riprap on the slick rock of metaphysics', provides sure footing for a metaphorical one. Like some Imagist poetry, these lines are as remarkable for what they omit as for what they exclude: there are no elaborate figures; no closewoven argument, no irony or introspection. As the poet intimates, the words here have the substance and weight of rocks; and the poet himself is the good craftsman, who works with not against the grain of things, allowing them, to express their nature. There is no forcing of the material: the voice is clear and quiet, cleaving faithfully to the enacted experience. And there is no insistence of feeling: the emotions are not denied but neither are they insisted on, rather they are distilled into significant activity. Just as 'torment of fire and. . ./ Crystal and sediment linked hot' has eventuated in stone and pebble, so passions encountered and then refined into language have generated the firm, particular surfaces of this poem. Energy has produced matter, cool, solid, and specific; and that matter in turn invites us into mystery, the 'preternatural clearness' that can issue from being 'Attentive to the real-world flesh and stone'. ' I hold the most archaic values on earth', Snyder insists, 'They go back to the Paleolithic'; 'I try to hold history and the wilderness in mind', he has added, 'that my poems may approach the true nature of things, and stand against the unbalance and ignorance of our times'. For him, identification with 'that other totally alien, nonhuman' can be experienced in tilling the soil, shaping word or stone, 'the lust and ecstasy of the dance', or 'the power-vision in solitude'."

A portmanteau ( / p ɔːr t ˈ m æ n t oʊ / ( listen), / ˌ p ɔːr t m æ n ˈ t oʊ / [a] [b]) or portmanteau word is a linguistic blend of words, [1] in which parts of multiple words or their phones (sounds) are combined into a new word, [1] [2] [3] as in smog, coined by blending smoke and fog, [2] [4] or motel, from motor and hotel. [ 5] In linguistics, a portmanteau is defined as a single morph that represents two or more morphemes. [ 6] [7] [8] [9]The definition overlaps with the grammatical term contraction, but contractions are formed from words that would otherwise appear together in sequence, such as do and not to make don't, whereas a portmanteau word is formed by combining two or more existing words that all relate to a singular concept. A portmanteau also differs from a compound, which does not involve the truncation of parts of the stems of the blended words. For instance, starfish is a compound, not a portmanteau, of star and fish; whereas a hypothetical portmanteau of star and fish might be stish.

Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the practice of combining words in various ways: You see it's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word. In his introduction to The Hunting of the Snark, Carroll uses portmanteau when discussing lexical selection: Humpty Dumpty's theory, of two meanings packed into one word like a portmanteau, seems to me the right explanation for all.

The feel of a story or scene is primarily achieved through three elements—tone, mood, and style. And while you may hear the words used almost interchangeably, they are different. They are achieved differently and they create different effects. We’ll take a look at all three. Tone Tone in fiction is the attitude of the narrator or viewpoint character toward story events and other characters. In a story with first-person POV, tone can also be the narrator’s attitude toward the reader. In non-fiction, tone is the writer’s attitude toward subject matter and reader. So the writer might come across as a know-it-all or a blowhard or as humble or solicitous. We’re all familiar with a mother’s words to her mouthy son— Don’t you take that tone with me, young man."

These individual signs, called hieroglyphs, may be read either as pictures, as symbols for pictures, or as symbols for sounds. The name 'hieroglyphic' (from the Greek word for \"\"sacred carving\"\") is first encountered in the writings of Diodorus Siculus (1st century BC). Earlier, other Greeks had spoken of sacred signs when referring to Egyptian writing. Among the Egyptian scripts, the Greeks labeled as hieroglyphic the script that they found on temple walls and public monuments, in which the characters were pictures sculpted in stone. The Greeks distinguished this script from two other forms of Egyptian writing that were written with ink on papyrus or on other smooth surfaces. These were known as the hieratic, which was still employed during the time of the ancient Greeks for religious texts, and the demotic, the cursive script used for ordinary documents. Hieroglyphic, in the strict meaning of the word, designates only the writing on Egyptian monuments. The word has, however, been applied for about 100 years to the writing of other peoples, insofar as it consists of picture signs used as writing characters. The name hieroglyphics is, for example, always used to designate the scripts of the Indus civilization and of the Hittites, who also possessed other scripts, in addition to the Mayan, the Incan, and Easter Island writing forms, and also the signs on the Phaistos Disk on Crete."

Either way, it was the best of times, it was the tseb of times, it was a palindromic time. In honor of the event, I searched for world's longest palindrome and found that \"\"In 1980, Giles Selig Hales claimed to have written the world's longest palindrome, which consisted of 58,795 letters.\"\" I also remembered that Dan Hoey had generated a long palindrome beginning with \"\"A man, a plan\"\" and ending with \"\"Panama\"\": a 540 word version created in 1984. Hoey writes \"\"This was done with the Unix spelling dictionary and a fairly simple-minded program. With a better word list and a smarter program I'm sure the palindrome could be ten times as long. \"\" Luckily for me, I had a better word list: the very nice Moby Word list from Grady Ward , from which I was able to extract the 126,342-word npdict.txt. Also, very importantly, I had a laptop computer which was at least 1,000 times more powerful than the minicomputer Hoey had in 1984, allowing me to do all computation in memory, rather than having to manage disk data files. That made it easy for me to create a program that appears smarter, even though Hoey's program was probably more difficult to author."

For instance, we are bewildered by writers who claim something like They say that eating beef is bad for you. They is a pronoun referring to someone, but who are they? Cows? whom do they represent? Sloppy use of pronouns is unfair. Not all pronouns will refer to an antecedent, however. Everyone here earns over a thousand dollars a day. The word \"\"everyone\"\" has no antecedent.

Put your buttons in consistent places on all your windows, use the same wording in labels and messages, and use a consistent color scheme throughout. Consistency in your user interface enables your users to build an accurate mental model of the way it works, and accurate mental models lead to lower training and support costs. Set standards and stick to them. The only way you can ensure consistency within your application is to set user interface design standards, and then stick to them. You should follow Agile Modeling (AM)’s Apply Modeling Standards practice in all aspects of software development, including user interface design. Be prepared to hold the line. When you are developing the user interface for your system you will discover that your stakeholders often have some unusual ideas as to how the user interface should be developed."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Sylable)navigation search A syllable is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants ). Syllables are often considered the phonological \"\"building blocks\"\" of words. They can influence the rhythm of a language, its prosody, its poetic meter and its stress patterns. Syllabic writing began several hundred years before the first letters. The earliest recorded syllables are on tablets written around 2800 BC in the Sumerian city of Ur. This shift from pictograms to syllables has been called \"\"the most important advance in the history of writing \"\". [ 1]A word that consists of a single syllable (like English dog) is called a monosyllable (and is said to be monosyllabic ). Similar terms include disyllable (and disyllabic; also bisyllable and bisyllabic) for a word of two syllables; trisyllable (and trisyllabic) for a word of three syllables; and polysyllable (and polysyllabic ), which may refer either to a word of more than three syllables or to any word of more than one syllable."

Open Document Separation of powers is the separation of branches under the constitution by the legislative, judicial, and executive branches of government. Federalism is a government system that includes the national government, which shares sovereign powers with fifty state governments. The difference between the separation of powers and federalism is slim to nothing. Federalism consists of the national government and the fifty states, in which the national government is defined by the separation of powers: the three branches of government. Federalism is the over view form of government that is stated in the Constitution which implies the separation of powers between central and regional government. On the other hand, separation of powers is the separation of branches under the national government. In other words, the separation of powers is a subunit of federalism. The principle of separation of powers is laid out in Articles I, II, and III, in effort to avoid tyranny. It is a part of a system called check and balances. The check and balances play the roles of the three branches of government."

[ 2] In simpler terms, a hyponym is in a type-of relationship with its hypernym. For example, pigeon, crow, eagle and seagull are all hyponyms of bird (their hypernym); which, in turn, is a hyponym of animal. [ 3]Contents [ hide ]1 Hyponyms and hypernyms1.1 Co-hyponyms2 Usage3 See also4 References5 Sources6 External links Hyponyms and hypernyms [ edit]Hyponymy shows the relationship between a generic term (hypernym) and a specific instance of it (hyponym). A hyponym is a word or phrase whose semantic field is more specific than its hypernym. The semantic field of a hypernym, also known as a superordinate, is broader than that of a hyponym. An approach to the relationship between hyponyms and hypernyms is to view a hypernym as consisting of hyponyms. This, however, becomes more difficult with abstract words such as imagine, understand and knowledge. While hyponyms are typically used to refer to nouns, it can also be used on other parts of speech. Like nouns, hypernyms in verbs are words that refer to a broad category of actions."

"text": "Judgement or Judgment? By Maeve Maddox Reader John Moss wonders about the spellings judgement and judgment. His Word application flags judgement as an incorrect spelling, but when he searches the word online,both judgement and judgment occur with seeming equal frequency. Is one English and the other American? What a bother! If both are OK, I guess I could update my dictionary by adding the ‘judgement’ spelling – but doing so might lend assistance to spelling inconsistencies. You’re probably going to tell me this is a ‘judgment call’, but I’m still wondering why the two spellings. Yes, I’d have to say that judgement is British spelling and judgment American, but in the early twentieth century when H. W. Fowler was writing his influential book on usage, the spelling judgment was evidently being used by a lot of British writers. According to Fowler “modern usage” favored judgment. Nevertheless, Fowler and the OED preferred judgement:judgement is the form sanctioned in the Revised Version of the Bible, & the OED prefers the older & more reasonable spelling."

These terms often refer to devices that help a person to hear and understand what is being said more clearly or to express thoughts more easily. With the development of digital and wireless technologies, more and more devices are becoming available to help people with hearing, voice, speech, and language disorders communicate more meaningfully and participate more fully in their daily lives. What types of assistive devices are available? Health professionals use a variety of names to describe assistive devices: Assistive listening devices (ALDs) help amplify the sounds you want to hear, especially where there’s a lot of background noise. ALDs can be used with a hearing aid or cochlear implant to help a wearer hear certain sounds better. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices help people with communication disorders to express themselves. These devices can range from a simple picture board to a computer program that synthesizes speech from text. Alerting devices connect to a doorbell, telephone, or alarm that emits a loud sound or blinking light to let someone with hearing loss know that an event is taking place."

Sabrina Broadbent reports on an exciting initiative to give more children the chance to get involved. Ask anyone over the age of 40 if they had a film club at school, and the chances are they will tell you that they did and it’ll be hard to stop them telling you what they saw. They’ll remember the teacher, the magic of having a familiar space transformed into a screening event, and they’ll always remember the film. Sadly, those film clubs in the 60s and 70s rarely lasted long - sourcing the film reels was difficult and expensive, lacing up the projector was complicated, sound systems were unreliable and the teacher usually worked alone without support or encouragement. Nevertheless, the films that were screened remain as memorable events in the minds of the young people who saw them. What is a film club? A film club, like a reading group, is an intimate and informal gathering where people can encounter ideas, experiences and emotions that may not be everyday topics of discussion but which shape all our lives. Film is a vast vault of stories stretching back one hundred years, across every continent and told in every language. It is an extraordinary cultural asset, yet British children see practically nothing of it."

An understanding of the rapid changes in a child's developmental status prepares parents and caregivers to give active and purposeful attention to the preschool years and to guide and promote early learning that will serve as the foundation for later learning. Understanding child development is an important part of teaching young children. Developmental change is a basic fact of human existence and each person is developmentally unique. Although there are universally accepted assumptions or principles of human development, no two children are alike. Children differ in physical, cognitive, social, and emotional growth patterns. They also differ in the ways they interact with and respond to their environment as well as play, affection, and other factors.

She first appeared in \"\" Emission Impossible \"\". In this episode, Lois and Peter Griffin take a trip to her house because her eighth husband, Ted, left her while she was pregnant with their son who she gives birth to later on in this episode. However, her son is never seen again after this episode, not even during Thanksgiving dinner at the Griffin family household. Unlike her father she likes Peter, and thinks he is humorous. She was voiced by Carol Kane in this appearance. She is first mentioned in \"\" Wasted Talent \"\" when Peter reveals that he can make dirty calls to her when he's drunk. In \"\" The Fat Guy Strangler \"\", she's seen in an old family photo as a little girl on a trike. In the commentary for the episode, it is mentioned they've \"\"never done something with [her]\"\", meaning either they had forgotten or did not count her appearance in \"\"Emission Impossible\"\". She was mentioned in \"\" Boys Do Cry \"\", when the Griffins had to stay at her Texas home when on the run."

"text": "\"Phonemes in the history of a language The number of phonemes (the sets of phones that occur in complementary distribution and thereby contrast with other such sets) may become larger or smaller as language changes through time. At any given time, the set of phonemes in a language is a closed set (like function words and syntactic rules, the set of phonemes is part of the limited, hard wired part of language). A speaker cannot simply add a new phoneme to the language the way a new word can be added. The set of phonemes changes only over time. English, for instance has lost the phonemes /x/ and /∑/. English has also gained phonemes by borrowing foreign words with the sounds /z/ and /Z/. Neither of these sounds were phonemes in English until they entered the language in numerous words borrowed from Norman French after 1066. Similarly, the sound [f] was not part of Russian until after the Christianization in 988, when many Greek words containing [f] were borrowed by the Slavs. The interrelationship between speech sounds in a language also changes over time (e.g., the fate of IE [p], [p h] through time). Thus, contrastive sounds (belonging to separate phonemes) may begin to occur in complementary distribution through accidental sound changes. Phonological Typology Because the number of phonemes is static at any given point in a language's history, it is possible to classify languages according to the phonemes they contain. Remember that typology is the study of structural features across languages."

"text": "\"In his Nobel Lecture, Derek Walcott described the experience of watching a Ramleela performance in a village in Trinidad, remarking: \"\"... Two different religions, two different continents, both filling the heart with the pain that is joy.” The pain that fills Walcott’s heart is the pain of a fragmented identity. This pain is also joy, the joy of a hybrid existence. Derek Walcott (b. 1930), a Caribbean poet and playwright who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1992, published his first collection of poetry at the age of fourteen, in which he described the beautiful and rich landscapes of the Caribbean Islands. As Walcott understood his surroundings, he realised that his identity was fraught with racial and colonial tensions. In his early poems, Walcott confronts the conflicts of his European and African ancestry. However, in these poems, the paradoxes of his identity remain largely unresolved. In Walcott’s later poems, one observes a heightened historical and political awareness. This analysis discusses an early poem, “A Far Cry of Africa” ( In a Green Nigh: Poems, 1948-60, 1962), and two later poems, “Names” ( Sea Grapes, 1976) and “The Sea is History” ( The Star-Apple Kingdom, 1979), in order to highlight the ways in which the poems present a search for a Caribbean history while exploring the racial, colonial, and cultural tensions inherent in Caribbean identity. Moreover, this analysis reveals Walcott’s celebration of the hybridity and cosmopolitanism of Caribbean culture."

Mention drugs or Google the word ‘opium’ and the link to Afghanistan will never be far away. No wonder, since over the last few decades, Afghanistan has become the largest opium producer in the world. But where did opium come from, how did it spread and what are its cultural expressions? AAN co-director Thomas Ruttig and Doris Buddenberg – member of the AAN Advisory Board, former head of UNODC Afghanistan and curator of a recent exhibition on opium – have been taking a closer look. In 2015, opium poppy was grown in Afghanistan on an estimated area of 183,000 hectares. The annual production was expected to be 3,300 metric tons, down because of a bad harvest from 6,400 metric tons in 2014. But it has not always been this way. Afghanistan became the world’s largest opium producer only in the 1980s and, although, opium is often identified as an ‘eastern drug’, its use actually originally spread from Europe and the eastern Mediterranean to southeast and east Asia."

They are classified as true berries because the fruit wall or pericarp is fleshy all the way through. The cultivation of grapes dates back more than 5,000 years in Egypt, and they were highly developed by the Greeks and Romans. Today there are nearly 200 cultivated varieties. Modern cultivars have all been derived from two main species, the European (Mediterranean) Vitis vinifera (a tight-skin grape with wine-like flavor) and the North American V. labrusca (a slip-skin grape with Concord-type flavor). In the European tight-skins, which are used for wines, the skin does not separate readily from the pulp. North American slip-skin grapes are generally more hardy than the European. The fruit is round with a more watery flesh and a thin skin that slips off very easily. The North American V. labrusca is also called the fox grape and is the source of the famous cultivar discovered in Concord, Massachusetts. Concord grapes are the most important American grape for juices, jellies and preserves."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A cultigen (from the Latin cultus – cultivated, and gens – kind) is a plant that has been deliberately altered or selected by humans; it is the result of artificial selection. These man-made or anthropogenic plants are, for the most part, plants with commercial value used in horticulture, agriculture or forestry. Because cultigens are defined by their mode of origin and not by where they are growing, plants meeting this definition remain cultigens whether they are naturalised in the wild, deliberately planted in the wild, or growing in cultivation. Cultigens arise in the following ways: selections of variants from the wild or cultivation including vegetative sports (aberrant growth that can be reproduced reliably in cultivation); plants that are the result of plant breeding and selection programs; genetically modified plants (plants modified by the deliberate implantation of genetic material); and graft-chimaeras (plants grafted to produce mixed tissue, the graft material possibly from wild plants, special selections, or hybrids ). Cultigens may be named in any of a number of ways. [ disputed – discuss] The traditional method of scientific naming is under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, and many of the most important cultigens, like maize ( Zea mays) and banana ( Musa acuminata ), are so named. Although it is perfectly in order to give a cultigen a botanical name, in any rank desired, now or at any other time, [1] these days it is more common for cultigens to be given names in accordance with the principles, rules and recommendations laid down in the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP) which provides for the names of cultigens in three classification categories, the cultivar, the Group (formerly cultivar-group), and the grex. [ nb 1] From that viewpoint it may be said [ original research?] that there is a separate discipline of cultivated plant taxonomy, which forms one of the ways to look at cultigens. The ICNCP does not recognize the use of trade designations and other marketing devices as scientifically acceptable names, but does provide advice on how they should be presented. ["

Part of a series on Buddhism History [show]Dharma Concepts [show]Buddhist texts [show]Practices [show]Nirvāṇa [show]Traditions [show]Buddhism by country [show]Outline Buddhism portalv t e Bhāvanā ( Pali; [1] Sanskrit, also bhāvana [2]) literally means \"\"development\"\" [3] or \"\"cultivating\"\" [4] or \"\"producing\"\" [1] [2] in the sense of \"\"calling into existence.\"\" [ 5] It is an important concept in Buddhist praxis ( Patipatti ). The word bhavana normally appears in conjunction with another word forming a compound phrase such as citta-bhavana (the development or cultivation of the heart/mind) or metta-bhavana (the development/cultivation of lovingkindness). When used on its own bhavana signifies contemplation and 'spiritual cultivation' generally. Contents [ hide ]1 Etymology2 Buddhism3 In Jainism4 See also5 Notes6 Sources Etymology [ edit]Bhavana derives from the word Bhava meaning becoming or the subjective process of arousing mental states. To explain the cultural context of the historical Buddha's employment of the term, Glenn Wallis emphasizes bhavana's sense of cultivation. He writes that a farmer performs bhavana when he or she prepares soil and plants a seed. Wallis infers the Buddha's intention with this term by emphasizing the terrain and focus on farming in northern India at the time in the following passage: I imagine that when Gotama, the Buddha, chose this word to talk about meditation, he had in mind the ubiquitous farms and fields of his native India."

While borage does not grow native in North America, herbalist are very familiar with the plant and the herb borage is cultivated now in some places in the North American continent. The herb is difficult to grow in cultivated gardens and nurseries, strangely though, this herb is found to grow well as a weed in unlikely places such as junkyards and other waste spaces, cultivating the plant in ideal herbal nurseries is hard - the herb is well known for many healing properties and is used in a variety of remedies by traditional herbalists around the world. The herb is characterized by the presence of numerous white, very stiff, and prickly hairs which covering both the leaves and the stems of the entire herb - for this reason, gloves are always required to avoid the stings of these outgrowths from the plant. During the summer months this herb gives off star shaped flowers which are blue or purplish in coloration, the plant itself reaches only about two feet in length. The main uses and the reputation of the borage since the earliest and the most ancient times has been its property of driving off melancholia and inducing gladness or courage in a person. Some herbalist also venture that the name of the herb might be a derivation from or the corruption of the word corago-courage, or translated as \"\"I bring courage\"\", thus this property of inducing confidence in a person has been associated with this herb since very early times. The word borage on the one hand may still be a derivation of yet word from the Latin language, this word is \"\"burra\"\" translated into \"\"a flock of wool\"\", which may be the association of wool to the hairy leaves and stems borne by the herb. However, still other possible origins of the name are also given by some other plant historians, who say that borage may in fact be a derivation of the Celtic word barrach which can be translated into \"\"a man of courage\"\". Borage was called the \"\"herb of gladness\"\" by the Welsh."

"text": "\"Humanities ›Religion & Spirituality Buddhism and Equanimity Why Equanimity Is an Essential Buddhist Virtue Share Flipboard Email Print© Ascent XMedia / Getty Imagesby Barbara O'Brien Updated July 24, 2017The English word equanimity refers to a state of being calm and balanced, especially in the midst of difficulty. In Buddhism, equanimity (in Pali, upekkha; in Sanskrit, upeksha) is one of the Four Immeasurables or four great virtues (along with compassion, loving kindness, and sympathetic joy) that the Buddha taught his disciples to cultivate. But is being calm and balanced all there is to equanimity? And how does one develop equanimity? Definitions of Upekkha Although translated as \"\"equanimity,\"\" the precise meaning of upekkha seems hard to pin down. According to Gil Fronsdal, who teaches at the Insight Meditation Center in Redwood City, California, the word upekkha literally means \"\"to look over.\"\" However, a Pali/Sanskrit glossary I consulted says it means \"\"not taking notice; to disregard. \"\" According to Theravadin monk and scholar, Bhikkhu Bodhi, the word upekkha in the past has been mistranslated as \"\"indifference,\"\" which has caused many in the West to believe, mistakenly, that Buddhists are supposed to be detached and unconcerned with other beings. What it really means is to not be ruled by passions, desires, likes, and dislikes. The Bhikkhu continues,\"\"It is evenness of mind, unshakeable freedom of mind, a state of inner equipoise that cannot be upset by gain and loss, honor and dishonor, praise and blame, pleasure and pain."

[ 1] At the beginning of the Aztec period, the Early Hunters of the late Pleistocene era (50,000–10,000 BC) led nomadic lifestyles, relying on hunting and gathering for sustenance. However, the nomadic lifestyle that dominated the late Pleistocene and the early Archaic slowly transitioned into a more sedentary lifestyle as the hunter gatherer micro-bands in the region began to cultivate wild plants. The cultivation of these plants provided security to the Mesoamericans, allowing them to increase surplus of \"\" starvation foods\"\" near seasonal camps; this surplus could be utilized when hunting was bad, during times of drought, and when resources were low. The cultivation of plants could have been started purposefully, or by accident. The former could have been done by bringing a wild plant closer to a camp site, or to a frequented area, so it was easier access and collect. The latter could have happened as certain plant seeds were eaten and not fully digested, causing these plants to grow wherever human habitation would take them. As the Archaic period progressed, cultivation of plant foods became increasingly important to the people of Mesoamerica. The reliability of cultivated plants allowed hunting and gathering micro-bands to establish permanent settlements and to increase in size. These larger settlements required a greater quantity of food, consequently leading to an even greater reliance on domesticated crops."

"text": "\"Repeated Interactive Read-Alouds in Preschool and Kindergarten By: Lea M. Mc Gee, Judith Schickedanz Research has demonstrated that the most effective read-alouds are those where children are actively involved asking and answering questions and making predictions, rather than passively listening. This article describes in detail a technique for a three-step interactive read-aloud using sophisticated storybooks. Abstract Repeated interactive read-alouds, a systematic method of reading aloud, allow teachers to scaffold children's understanding of the book being read, model strategies for making inferences and explanations, and teach vocabulary and concepts. A storybook is read three times in slightly different ways in order to increase the amount and quality of children's analytical talk as they answer carefully crafted questions. During the first reading, teachers introduce the story's problem, insert comments, ask a few key questions, and finally ask a \"\"why\"\" question calling for extended explanation. This is accompanied by elaborations on a few key vocabulary words. Second reads capitalize on children's growing comprehension of the story by providing enriched vocabulary explanations and asking additional inference and explanation questions. Third reads consist of guided reconstruction of the story in which children recount information as well as provide explanations and commentary. These techniques have shown to be effective in increasing children's engagement, understanding, and appreciation of literature in preschool and kindergarten settings. Introduction Research is mixed on the value of reading aloud to children aged 3 to 6."

And misinformation can be detrimental to online professionals as they try to separate the wheat from the chaff and understand a right so important to the foundation of the United States that the founding fathers made it the first amendment to the Constitution to better clarify what rights belong to its citizens. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Source: First Amendment, U. S. Constitution This article will specifically focus on the portion relating to speech and how this applies to the online community. In 1996, in the landmark case Reno v. ACLU, a unanimous Supreme Court specifically extended the First Amendment to written, visual and spoken expression posted on the Internet. For those of us who work in an increasingly online environment, more and more we’re seeing behavior that would never fly in the “real world.”"

( What's the Difference? ) The correct answer to the above question is absolutely essential in order for the Christian to understand both the Physical and Spiritual implications of committing either fornication or adultery. The definition of these two terms is often confusing for two primary reasons: Recent Bible translations translate the word \"\"Fornication\"\" as \"\"Sexual Immorality\"\"In some Bible passages, the context is referring to \"\"Doctrine\"\" and NOT sexual sins of the same name. It is no wonder that many Christians are seeking the \"\"Bible Definition\"\" of these terms. If confusion exists with understanding the difference between sexual sins called Adultery and Fornication, then the Christian is hopelessly lost to determine the correct meaning of the Spiritual (doctrinal) sins called by the same name. An examination of these Biblical terms will reveal the fact that there is a parallel meaning between these sins in the physical realm and in the spiritual realm. However, this article will deal exclusively with the sins of the flesh while other articles will deal with the Spiritual (doctrinal) issues."

Stroud, (2014), “The Art of Experience: Dewey on the Aesthetic,” Practicing Pragmatist Aesthetics: Critical Perspectives on the Arts, Wojciech Malecki (ed. ), Amsterdam: Rodopi, 33-46. Two THE ART OF EXPERIENCE: DEWEY ON THE AESTHETIC Scott R. Stroud 1. The Promise of Deweyan Pragmatist Aesthetics Part of the power of John Dewey’s aesthetic theory could be said to come from its inherent ambiguity. In his Art as Experience (1934), Dewey explicitly wants to resist the “museum concept of art,” or theorizing about the nature and capabilities of the aesthetic from the limits set by the historical groundings of art traditions in the western world.1 This is a starting point that produces a limited—albeit not useless—conception of art based upon its modern sequestration in the confines of museum spaces. What is problematic about starting with the modern way of viewing art is that it leads us to wonder how we are ever to connect the rarified practices of art with practical, everyday life. And if pragmatists value anything, it will be the everyday experience of life, and not simply the achieved experiences of a small cadre of individuals. But everyday experience is messy and varied in scope. Thus, Dewey hopes to produce a theory of the aesthetic that is naturalized and wide- ranging, so much so that one may complain that its breadth allows anything in as being aesthetic in quality. The wideness of such an account of aesthetic experience is what often draws the objections of critics looking for neat accounts of what delineates the artistic.2 It seems like it counts too much as art, or too much as aesthetic in quality."

The options open to a Christian: A Christian has two options with regard to the Christian Scriptures (New Testament): To accept a favorite English translation as accurately containing the words of the original authors. This is a simple and straightforward approach because biblical passages related to lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender persons and transsexuals (LGBT) in English Bibles are universally condemning. No further effort is needed. To base the interpretation of these passages on the most ancient available Greek manuscripts of 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy. These is as close as we are able to get to the original autograph copies written by the author (s). This option is much more demanding, and made even more difficult because the precise meaning of some of the Greek words are unknown and can only be inferred. Even worse, a convincing case can be made that 1 Timothy was written by a second century forger, many decades after Paul was executed. The word \"\"arsenokoitai\"\" in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy:\"\"Arsenokoitai\"\" is a Greek word that appears to have been created by Paul when he was writing 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.

"text": "Words Used to Describe Behavior: Autism’s Own Language If you live with autism, you know that it almost has its own culture, its own language. Think of the many terms we – and others – use to describe our kids and their behavior. For example, if your child has a school-to-home communication notebook, you may find that sometimes it comes home with a report using descriptors that you feel don’t match those you use for your child. Even for children who are verbal, it’s important for parents to communicate effectively with the numerous people who interact with our kids on a daily basis. When my daughter started school, I realized that many of the words I, and school staff, were using didn’t match up in terms of definition. For example, what they called “manic”, I called “restless.” Or what they called “aggressive” (which was of great concern to me) was really more “agitated” than anything (no aggressive or physical behavior at all). What I also found as an overarching theme was that, while my child’s good mood or happy states were easier for professionals to describe, her upset or emotional behaviors (such as “agitated” or “restless”) were much more challenging to explain accurately. In addition to the importance of using the right words with school providers, I came to learn how crucial it is to use the correct terms when speaking to my child’s medication prescribers, medical providers, and behavior specialists. For example, if the medication provider is targeting a particular behavior, that provider and I need to have similar definitions of the target behavior."

Additional Speech-Language Pathology Flashcards Cards Term Infant Speech Perception Definition Infants learning language must be able to segment the speech they hear into meaningful phrases and words Speech perception ability, the ability to devote attention to the prosodic and phonetic regularities of speech, develops greatly over the first year Large patterns (rhythm) to smaller patterns (combinations of specific sounds)Term Using Prosodic Regularities Definition Prosodic characteristics: Frequency: pitch of sounds Duration: length of sounds Intensity: loudness of sounds Combinations produce distinguishable stress and intonation patterns that infants can detect. Stress: prominence placed on certain syllables of multi-syllabic words Intonation: prominence placed on certain syllables; applies to entire phrases and sentences Infants become familiar with the dominant stress patterns of one’s native language English: strong/weak stress (trochaic) patterns Preference for the dominant stress patterns of one’s language can help infants begin to isolate words in continuous speech Phonetic details of speech: Phonemes (speech sounds) Combinations of phonemes Infants who are not yet learning words devote greater attention to the phonetic details of speech Older children concentrate their efforts on word learning at the expense of fine phonetic detail (Stager & Werker, 1997)Term Detecting Non-native Phonetic Differences Definition Ability to notice fine phonetic detail not limited to one’s native language In the first year, infants are able to distinguish among the sounds of the world’s languages Adults do not possess this ability As infants develop and become attuned to the sounds they hear on a regular basis, their ability to distinguish non-native phonemic contrasts diminishes Term Detecting Phonotactic Regularities Definition Phonotactic regularities: permissible combinations of phonemes in one’s native language As infants hear their native language more and more, they also develop the ability to recognize phonotactic regularities Examples: /ps/ and /h/ Ability to detect phonotactic regularities in one’s language helps infants segment words from continuous speech Infants’ ability to differentiate between permissible and impermissible sequences of sounds in their native language present by about 9 months Term Categorical Perception of Speech Definition Children’s perception of speech is categorical– children categorize input into different groups Children categorize incoming sounds into “speech” and “non-speech sounds” We are able to distinguish between sounds in different categories (/p/ vs. /b/), but without special training, we are not able to distinguish between variations of sounds within the same category (the first and last /p/ sounds in pup) Allophones: variations of sounds in the same category Voice onset time: interval between the release of a stop consonant (e.g., p, b, t, d) and the onset of vocal cord vibrations Used to distinguish between sounds in different categories Term Awareness of Action Definition By 4 months, infants can distinguish between purposeful and accidental actions Appear to focus upon the intentions underlying actions rather than the physical details of the actions By 12 months, infants understand rational actions as means to a goal, even when they are not able to view the entire context in which an action takes place Infants’ awareness of movement and their understanding of goals underlying actions is an important precursor for language development Term Category Formation Definition Ability to form categories, or to group items and events according to the perceptual and conceptual features they share is crucial for language development One of infants’ earliest developing and most robust predictors of later cognitive and linguistic outcomes Infants’ ability to form categories between 3 and 9 months of age is predictive of their general cognitive abilities and language abilities at 2 years and of cognitive outcomes at 2 ½ years of age Category formation is hierarchical: Superordinate level: Uppermost level in a category hierarchy Most general concept in a particular category Among the later words children acquire Subordinate level: Lowermost level in a category hierarchy Specific concepts in a category Basic level: Center of a category hierarchy General concepts in a category Infants’ first categories are basic level categories and first words are basic level words Two basic types of categories that infants utilize at each level of the hierarchy: perceptual categories and conceptual categories Term Perceptual Categories Definition Based on similar appearing features, to include color, shape, texture, size, etc. Used to recognize and identify objects around them Perceptual categorization describes knowing what something looks like, whereas conceptual categorization describes knowing what something is Term Conceptual Categories Definition Based on what objects do, rather than what they look like Used to make inductive generalizations about new objects without relying on perceptual similarity at all Languages differ in how they categorize these concepts and children who are learning different languages ultimately come to perceive the world in different ways because of the way their language categorizes concepts Term Multicultural Focus Definition English language distinguishes between actions that characterize containment (put in) relationships and support relationships (put on) Korean language distinguishes between tight-fit (kkita) and loose-fit or contact relationships (various verbs), a relationship that is not represented in English Sensitivity to language-specific spatial categories by 18-23 months of age Language as category maker hypothesis: language guides children from a young age as they perceive spatial relations around them Term Early Vocalizations Definition Infants follow a fairly predictable pattern in their early use of vocalizations Stage model: describe infants’ vocalizations to follow and observable and sequential pattern Stark Assessment of Early Vocal Development (SAEVD; Nathani, Ertmer, & Stark, 2000) 6 distinct stages of early vocalization development: Reflexive (0-8 weeks) Control of phonation (6-16 weeks) Expansion (4-6 months) Control of articulation (5-8 months) Canonical syllables (6-10 months) Advanced forms (10-18 months)Term Reflexive (0-8 Weeks)Definition Reflexive sounds: very first kinds of sounds infants produce Sounds of discomfort and distress (crying, fussing) Vegetative sounds produced during feeding (burping, coughing) No control over the reflexive sounds produced Adults tend to respond as if they are true communication attempts Term Control of Phonation (6-16 Weeks)Definition Cooing and gooing sounds Vowel sounds and some nasalized sounds (airflow directed through nose) Infants typically produce consonant sounds far back in the oral cavity (e.g., “gooo”) Early consonant sounds are easier for infants to produce than those sounds that require more precise manipulation of the tongue, lips, or teeth Term Expansion (4-6 months)Definition Gain more control over the articulators Produce series of vowel sounds as well as vowel glides Experiment with the loudness and pitch of their voices Yell, growl, squeal, and make raspberries and trills Early infant vocalizations are one component of a dynamic mother-infant communication system, whereby patterns of mother-infant communication relate to infant vocalizations Term Control of Articulation (5-8 months)Definition Marginal babbling: short strings of consonant-like and vowel-like sounds Emerge as infants gain control of their articulation Term Canonical Syllables (6-10 months)Definition True babbling appears Contains pairs of consonants and vowels (called CV sequences when the consonant precedes the vowel) Reduplicated: repeating consonant and vowel pairs (ma ma ma ma ) Non-reduplicated or variegated: non-repeating consonant and vowel combinations (da ma goo ga) Infants prefer nasal sounds and stop sounds in their variegated babbling Whispered vocalizations Rounded vowels High front vowels Resemblance of these syllable combinations to adult speech Term Advanced Forms (10-18 Months)Definition Diphthongs: combinations of two vowel sounds within the same syllable More complex combinations of consonants and vowels CVC CCV VCV Jargon: special type of babble that contains the melodic patterns of an infant’s native language Not true words because not referential and don’t convey meaning Term Advanced Forms, cont Definition In the same way that the vocalizations of infants who hear speech mimic the specific rhythmic patterns that bind syllables, so too do the hand movements of babies born to parents who are deaf Term What Are Some of the Early Foundations for Language Development? Definition Foundations for later language development Infant-directed speech Joint reference and attention Rituals of infancy Caregiver responsiveness Importance of the environment in language development Linguistic input adults provide Social interactions that infants engage in with others Term Infant-Directed Speech Definition Also called motherese, baby talk, and child-directed speech Speech we use in communicative situations with young language learners Paralinguistic characteristics: describe the manner of speech outside of the linguistic information High overall pitch, exaggerated pitch contours, slower tempos (as compared to adult-directed speech) Syntactic characteristics: smaller mean length of utterance (MLU), few subordinate clauses, more content words, fewer function words Discourse features: greater use of repetition, more questions than adult-directed speech Attracts infants’ atten"

You “finally” stepped up and bought an engagement ring, something you couldn’t imagine doing for years. Good for you. The last thing you probably want to hear right now is that you need to insure the thing, given the fact that you just dumped several paychecks on the precious stone and setting, but it’s a reality that can’t be ignored. What if the ring goes missing, or the diamond falls out of the setting? Or the ring gets damaged or stolen? There’s plenty of bad stuff that can happen to a very expensive, small item. And you certainly won’t want to go out and buy another one. At the same time, you’ve already spent a ton of money on the ring, so insurance just sounds like the final insult. But like anything else in this world worth insuring, it probably makes sense to buy some coverage. ["

[ 1] is the judicial process whereby a will is \"\"proved\"\" in a court and accepted as a valid public document that is the true last testament of the deceased. The granting of probate is the first step in the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, resolving all claims and distributing the deceased person's property under a will. A probate court decides the legal validity of a testator 's (deceased person's) will and grants its approval, also known as granting probate, to the executor. The probated will then becomes a legal instrument that may be enforced by the executor in the law courts if necessary. A probate also officially appoints the executor (or personal representative ), generally named in the will, as having legal power to dispose of the testator's assets in the manner specified in the testator's will. However, through the probate process, a will may be contested. ["

"text": "An executor is responsible for carrying out a will's written directions and settling the final affairs of the will's author, or testator. If you were named as the executor of a deceased person's will, you are responsible for the duties and legal obligations of handling his estate. Due to the amount of work involved or other personal circumstances, you might have to resign as executor before or after you're appointed by the probate court. Obligations Once the testator dies, the executor must file the original will along with a probate petition in the probate court to start estate proceedings. If no one else with an interest in the estate -- the testator's heirs or specific beneficiaries named in his will, for example -- challenges your appointment as executor, you will receive authority to act as executor from the court. In your role as executor, you must maintain and protect the testator's assets. For example, an executor may pay a mortgage loan on the testator's home so the asset isn't lost to foreclosure; pay the deceased's final bills; and follow the directions in his will for distributing the assets to heirs. If you fail to meet all these obligations, the heirs and beneficiaries under the will can sue you in civil court for damages. Protect your loved ones.

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Law & Legal Issues Estates Probate What recourse do the beneficiaries have if the executor does not distribute the funds? Flag What recourse do the beneficiaries have if the executor does not distribute the funds? Answer by Roibeaird WA Confidence votes 13.4KThe answer depends on the laws of the state where the probate took place; however, every state has laws for beneficiaries to force distributions after giving executors some reasonable time administer the estate. After all, before executors can distribute to beneficiaries, all funeral, administration expenses, estate and inheritance taxes (if any) and legitimate debts of the decedent are paid in full. This takes time. As an example of remedies available to beneficiaries in this situation, New Jersey law provides that if a beneficiary is given a specific dollar amount in the will, that amount has to be paid within one year of probate or it will carry an additional 4% interest for the beneficiary. Also, if the beneficiary chooses, he/she can bring an action in probate court on an order to show cause to force the payment. If the beneficiary is entitled to all or a percentage of the net estate available for distribution, the beneficiary can file an action in probate court on an order to show cause to compel the executor to file an accounting and compel distribution. If you have to go to court this way, you probably can do it yourself, however it is better to get a lawyer, who may be able to force payment with a well worded letter, rather than going to court. If the money is given to a trust for your benefit until you reach a certain age and you have not yet attained that age, then the executor will not and cannot distribute anything to you individually."

"text": "The percentage of an estate that an executor will get will depend on the size of the estate, the terms of the will and the state where the estate resides. Executor compensation is determined by state statutory law, so compensation rates will be different everywhere. Generally, most executors are compensated somewhere between 2 to 4 percent of the estate, but the percentage can be different if your state has special circumstances for low- or high-value estates. A person can state in her will that she does not want an executor to be compensated. Executor An executor is an individual who is in charge of handling the matters of an estate. If you are appointed executor by will, you may decline the duties altogether and ask that another executor be appointed to the estate. In general, executors are in charge of accounting for all of the deceased's assets, initiating and finalizing the probate process, notifying the deceased's creditors and distributing the assets of the estate to creditors and beneficiaries. State Law All states set executor compensation by statute, so you will need to check the law in your state. Executor compensation is usually set on a sliding scale, so executors receive a smaller percentage of larger estates. Courts may also play a role in determining how much an executor gets paid."

Any outstanding liability the decedent has due to his federal tax obligations must be settled. It is important to note that the process used to settle estates varies by state. If you are responsible for settling an estate, consider consulting with a local professional to ensure you comply with the law of your state. Probate Process Initiate the probate process. During probate, a court will oversee the settlement of an estate. The process begins with a court reviewing the decedent’s will, if one is available, to ensure it complies with the state’s drafting requirements. If the court determines the will is valid, the court will certify it and appoint the named executor to oversee the estate. If there is no will, the court will appoint one of the decedent’s relatives or friends to oversee the estate. If there is no one named as an executor, you normally can apply to the court to oversee the estate."

"text": "\"Executor Pay: Fees for the Executor or Administrator of an Estate First, a quick primer on essential terms, without which the law on executor fees can be initially confusing: An executor is the person named in a will to administer a decedent 's estate. If an executor cannot do the job, or if there is no will, the court appoints someone to manage the estate: that person is called an administrator. Executors and administrators are referred to as personal representatives. All personal representatives are trustees which is why the issue of their compensation is usually parked within a statute called trustee act. In common law, the executor or administrator of an estate had no right to fees, as this placed him in a financial conflict of interest with the estate. In Re Robertson, Justice Gale of the Ontario High Court of Justice wrote:\"\" [T]he Court had no power to allow compensation to an executor unless there was an express contract or other stipulation for remuneration, and that was still the law of England today. Unless, therefore, an executor or trustee could bring himself within the scope of (the estate administration statute), or could show some agreement, he could not recover compensation. \"\" If the will sets out a lump sum or formula for compensation, that is the applicable fee; law unique but binding between all the parties to the estate. You need, then, not read the rest of this article unless you are a fan of deep, intriguing, life-changing prose. But if not, as is often the case, the executors and beneficiaries need to look at their statute books for guidance."

"text": "\"If the executor won't apply for probate, is there anything you can do? Posted by Lynne Butler It's the job of the executor (s) named in the Will to apply to the court for a Grant of Probate of the Will. Sometimes, however, the executor refuses to do so, and also refuses to renounce. Usually this is due to family politics, or the fact that the executor stands to lose some benefit once the estate is distributed. This leaves the estate at a standstill, and beneficiaries waiting around. Usually this is followed by a breakdown in family harmony. While executors have a right to apply for probate, they have to remember that beneficiaries have rights too. The executor has a legal responsibility to administer and distribute the estate. If an executor has a legitimate reason for the delay, he or she should communicate that to the beneficiaries and keep them up to date on the progress of the matter. Even a legitimate reason eventually runs out."

I have also advised numerous executors in my capacity as the tax advisor/accountant for the estates of deceased taxpayers. The responsibility of being named an executor is overwhelming for many; notwithstanding the fact many individuals appointed as executors had no idea they were going to be named an executor of an estate. In my opinion, not discussing this appointment beforehand is a huge mistake. I would suggest at a minimum, you should always ask a potential executor if they are willing to assume the job (before your will is drafted), but that is a topic for another day. So, John Stiff dies and you are named as an executor. What duties and responsibilities will you have?

"text": "THE BLOG 08/21/2013 05:09 pm ET Updated Oct 21, 2013Should You Become Executor of Someone’s Estate By Jason Alderman One of the most important decisions you’ll make when writing your will is determining who should be named executor of your estate. Even if you’re just leaving behind household goods and a small savings account, someone — whether appointed by you or the state court — must settle your affairs. Some people consider it an honor — or duty — to take responsibility for ensuring that their loved one’s final wishes are carried out. But serving as an executor can be onerous and time-consuming, even for those with a strong financial or legal background. In a worst-case scenario, executors who act imprudently or in violation of their duties can be sued by beneficiaries and creditors. Plus, you’ll likely have to deal with the dreaded probate, a court-supervised process of locating and determining the value of the deceased’s assets, paying final bills and taxes, and distributing what’s left to the heirs. Before you agree to serve as an estate’s executor, make sure you understand what will be required of you. Major responsibilities often include: Manage paperwork on behalf of the estate, including the will, trusts, insurance policies (health, life, auto), bank, investment and retirement account statements, birth and death certificates, marriage, prenuptial agreement or divorce papers, military service records, real estate deeds, car registration, tax records, etc. If the estate is complicated or likely to be contentious, you may want to hire a lawyer and/or accountant to help navigate the maze of paperwork — for example, the attorney who helped draft the will or trust. File a certified copy of the will with the local probate court, which will determine if probate is necessary."

I’ll be adding more posts about the probate process and issues in probate in the future. What is probate? In the strictest sense, “probate” is the process of submitting a dead person’s last will and testament to the Probate Court to prove that it is authentic and valid. Sometimes “probate” is used broadly to mean any of the processes or procedures that must be completed before a dead person’s property is transferred. Usually when lawyers in Iowa and their clients use the term “probate” they are referring to the process of formal administration of the dead person’s estate under the jurisdiction of the probate court. The administration process is typically called “probate” even when the decedent left no will to file with the court. What is probate court?"

The Committee issued its opinion “that an agreement that a client shall pay fees disallowed by the Probate Court, regardless of the reason for disallowance, is a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct 1.5.” ( emphasis added). I. Summary The question posed to the Committee was whether it is ethically permissible for a lawyer for a representative of a decedent’s estate to enter into a fee agreement, or to collect a fee, for an amount in excess of the amount of fees allowed by a Probate Court as reasonable. 1 The Committee cites the Illinois Probate Act of 1975, several cases, the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct, and other ethical opinions to support its conclusion that such an arrangement is a violation of the Rule of Professional Conduct 1.5.

Or, if they are to raise uric acid another way, (via the insulin resistance route), it's hard to see that their quantity of sugars or carbohydrates could do this with the amount people usually eat. One exception might be cashews which are medium purine, and I suppose a spurge or addiction to them might be a cause of hyperuricemia, (high uric acid).

Visit the Mercola Video Library Story at-a-glance Gout is a type of arthritis characterized by painful, stiff and inflamed joints. The stiffness and swelling are a result of excess uric acid forming crystals in your joints, and the pain associated with this disease is caused by your body’s inflammatory response to the crystals. A gout attack usually results from years of having high levels of uric acid in your blood, a condition called hyperuricemia. Besides gout, elevated uric acid level is related health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and heart disease. One clear culprit is high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is hidden in many common foods. Eating right for your nutritional type, limiting alcohol intake, and exercise are some natural ways you can address gout. By Dr. Mercola Often in past centuries, gout was laughingly passed off as an affliction of the rich, because it usually affected those who had easy access to fancy foods and plenty of liquor.

"text": "Wine Implicated in Gout Flares Beer and hard liquor have long been known to increase the risk of gout, the most common form of inflammatory arthritis, but according to a 2014 study in The American Journal of Medicine, wine also can contribute to recurrent gout attacks. Gout occurs when excess uric acid builds up around joints – often in the big toe, but also in the feet, ankles, knees, wrists and elbows – leading to episodes of intense pain, redness and swelling. It affects more than 8 million adults in the United States, and the numbers are rising sharply, due mainly to obesity and other lifestyle factors. In the 2014 study, 724 gout patients completed questionnaires every few months as well as after gout attacks about their diet, medications, exercise and number of alcoholic drinks consumed. The researchers compared what a participant consumed on an average day to what that participant had consumed in the 24 hours before a gout attack. Researchers looked at the overall effect of alcohol on gout attacks as well as the individual effects of wine, beer and liquor, while taking diet and other factors into account. Results showed that a single serving of wine, beer or liquor (either straight or in a mixed drink) in a 24-hour period didn’t significantly increase the chance of repeat gout attacks. But consuming more than one to two drinks a day did – by 36%. With two to four drinks, the risk rose 50%, and it continued to rise with the amount of alcohol consumed. When the three types of alcohol were compared, wine was actually a significant trigger."

"text": "How Long Does a Gout Attack Last? If you started suffering from gout recently, you may be worried with the duration of the attacks. You have probably read in some places that attacks can last for a few minutes to sometimes days or weeks. Having gout is an unfortunate thing and it is natural to try and find out how much you will have to endure the bouts with gout. Truth be told, there is no specific amount of time one can claim that the attacks last. A lot of variables comes into play when determining how long the attacks last and it is only proper to consider your unique situation, understand your gout and find the best way to deal with it, so that you can reduce the time you have to suffer the pain at times of attacks. Typical characteristics of a gout attack A typical gout attack will happen mostly at night, and will affect the big toe. The pain may heighten in about eight to twelve hours after the onset, but may sometimes last up to 24 hours in worst cases. The attack may run for between three to ten days, but this will be dependent upon a myriad of factors as discussed briefly below. In trying to understand how long a gout attack lasts, you should have in mind that gout is a problem that has been brewing for a long time, sometimes for years."

Not only is chocolate a “miracle food” when it comes to gout prevention, but it also knocks down the inflammation of an active gout flare. And best of all…it serves as a healthy “comfort food” to help get you through the excruciating pain of a gout attack!And I speak from experience. I used to have one gout attack right after another…this went on relentlessly for YEARS. However, gout has become a thing of the past since the day I started eating high-quality chocolate at the recommended “therapeutic dose” of 3 times per day. But beware: Most chocolate is simply another “bad-for-you” candy that should be high on your list of foods to avoid with gout. The following data on “chocolate for gout relief” only applies to the highest quality chocolate, and I’ll show you below how to tell the difference. What Exactly IS Chocolate? What we commonly call a chocolate “bean” is actually a seed from inside the fruit of a tree that has the botanical name, Theobroma Cacao. This pod-fruit is about twice the size of a mango, and inside contains about 20-50 seeds or “beans” surrounded in a sweet white pulp."

"title": "http://www.overcomepainwithdiet.com/\nWhat Causes Gout?",
"text": "What Causes Gout? As you probably know already, many cases of gout occur after eating certain foods or drinking alcohol. This is because these foods, and alcohol, contain certain compounds called purines which the body metabolizes into uric acid. The resulting high levels of uric acid may not be excreted efficiently by the kidneys, or there may be such a sudden rise in uric acid that the body cannot adequately process it, resulting in the crystallization of monosodium urate in the synovial spaces of the joints. As you can imagine, this is excruciatingly painful — a fact which you will already know if you experience gout. It follows that avoiding certain foods can help to limit the amount of uric acid in the blood stream, and therefore reduce the chance of a gout attack. Knowing which foods to avoid with gout can be a major step towards alleviating the pain. Foods Which Do NOT Help Gout!Traditionally, gout has been associated with meat, seafood and alcohol. You might wonder therefore if avoiding these foods with gout is all you need to do. In theory the answer to this question is “yes”, but the situation is complicated slightly by the interrelated action of protein, carbohydrate, and fats within the body."

"text": "\"1 / 8Purines are chemicals found naturally in some foods. When you digest purines, your body produces a waste product called uric acid. Some people experience a build-up of uric acid that causes their joints to swell and become tender, leading to chronic pain. This condition is a type of arthritis known as gout. Watching your diet will help relieve symptoms and should be part of your gout treatment. Here’s how to choose low-purine foods so that gout symptoms will be less likely.2 / 8 Ban the Beer“Beer is on the 'no' list for people who have gout,” says Lona Sandon, MEd, RD, an associate professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas and a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. Doctors used to believe that beer was bad for gout because of its alcohol content, but recent studies have shown that other alcoholic beverages may not be as harmful. It could be the brewer’s yeast or another component in beer that causes a reaction. An alternative is to drink wine in moderation.3 / 8 Say Bye-Bye to Beef It may be touted as \"\"what's for dinner,\"\" but beef is a high-purine food and should be avoided — as well as pork and lamb. And while organ meats, such as kidneys, sweetbreads, and brains, aren’t much a part of the American diet anymore, people who live with the chronic pain of gout should definitely skip them because they are high in purines."

It’s impossible to single one out. But a dozen or so experiences indeed eclipsed the others, and they included an evening at Alain Ducasse at the Essex House, a Manhattan restaurant that has since closed. I recall the night so vividly because it was such an insanely over-the-top paean to the farthest reaches of fatty excess. As it happens I dined there with the man who would succeed me in the critic’s job, Sam Sifton. And what we shared, once we had finished our martinis and white wine and had moved on to a bottle of red, was a côte de boeuf that easily weighed more than two pounds, had been basted in butter and was sliced in a fashion that allowed the interlacing of broad, glassy ribbons of seared foie gras between the thick, glistening dominoes of beef. To some of you, this may sound revolting in its bloat; to me, it was pure heaven. I remember thinking, “If I could get away with eating like this every night, I would. ”Justin Maxon/The New York Times I can no longer get away with eating like that even a few times a month, and in fact haven’t eaten like that in a while. It’s unclear whether I’ll ever eat like that again."

The determining factors arise from the root emotion and neuropeptide connection the behavior has. It may take far longer if certain conditions are not met. Advertisement The Human Experience, Built On Emotions Every single human action is tied to neuropeptides that are released by the brain and sent through the bloodstream to receptors on every cell in your body to re-enforce an emotional state and therefore the human behavior with an expected outcome (from prior experiences) which then re-enforces the behavior. All behaviors/habits are generally tied to these neuropeptides and the resulting emotions they produce. This is the neuropeptide cycle and is a phenomenal system when the behavior is objectively judged as being beneficial. It is the bane of existence when the neuropeptide cycle is not judged as being beneficial. There are a number of ways to understand and therefore emphasize or deemphasize a behavior or habit. It is also very important to note that it may be quite difficult to assess if a particular behavior/habit is ultimately serving ones best interests or not."

In this book, we refer to them as Habits of Mind. They are the characteristics of what intelligent people do when they are confronted with problems, the resolutions to which are not immediately apparent. These Habits of Mind seldom are performed in isolation; rather, clusters of behaviors are drawn forth and used in various situations. For example, when listening intently, we use the habits of thinking flexibly, thinking about our thinking (metacognition), thinking and communicating with clarity and precision, and perhaps even questioning and posing problems.

The way that society communicates in our complex daily lives may only be understood after we are able to comprehend that communication utterly relies on our particular perceptions. We will now take the time to introduce how the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis is related to language and thought in communication. We will also explain how it is possible for psychology to play such a major and essential part of intrapersonal communication. Language and Thought Akram The study of language and culture is known as sociolinguistics. Sociolinguistics is a broad term covering any study of language that makes significant use of social data, or conversely any study of social life that makes use of linguistic data. In his writing about the principle of linguistic relatively, which states at least as a hypothesis that structures the human being language influences the manner in which he understood reality and believed with respect to it. Benjamin Lee Whorf wrote in 1936 in \"\"a linguistic consideration of thinking in primitive communities\"\" that linguistic is essentially the quest for meaning. The real concern of linguistic s, he writes, \"\"is to light up the thick darkness of the language and there by up much of the thought, the culture and the outlook upon life of a given community with the light of this .golden something\"\" as I have heard it called, this transmitting principle of meaning. He was concerned more with the substance than with process, He was more interested in what in some abstract sense was being thought about than with the mental processes by which one might think, and this outlook led him to linguistics, full of \"\"comment\"\" rather than to psychology relatively \"\"content less\"\" in its concern with generalized stimuli-response mechanisms."

When they are awake, they often take full advantage of the time. They want to explore, eat, chew on things, play with you and find out about their world. Owners should take advantage of this time as well. To begin, the first thing that an owner should do any time that their Yorkie wakes up, is to take him or her to the designated area for bathroom needs. This is a key element for housebreaking.

"text": "Neuroplasticity: Your Brain’s Amazing Ability to Form New Habitswith 82 comments If you're new here, you may want to follow Refocuser ( email or Twitter) or read about this blog. One of the most popular areas of research in psychology these days is neuroplasticity . Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to restructure itself after training or practice . In many ways, neuroplasticity is what makes personal growth and development possible at its most basic level. With the understanding that change is indeed possible, you’re able to focus on the ways in which you’d like to grow instead of whether or not it’s achievable for you. It’s possible, it’s proven, and now it’s up to you!We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. – Aristotle An example of how neuroplasticity works: when you view the brains of people who frequently practice playing the violin under f MRI (functional MRI) they appear to have developed a larger area of their brain devoted to mapping their fingers. This change is directly related to the quantity and the quality of the practice they’re performing – their brains are adapting in very real and tangible ways unbeknownst to them. One of the fun sayings around neuroplasticity: “neurons that fire together wire together… and neurons that fire apart wire apart.”."

"text": "\"Oxford comma (also known as the \"\"serial comma\"\" or \"\"Harvard comma\"\") is the name given to the optional final comma in a series. In the phrase \"\"ham, egg, and chips\"\" it's the comma between \"\"egg\"\" and \"\"and\"\". Entirely optional - correct punctuation neither demands nor requires it. And like everything that is optional, it has its adherents and its detractors, and, of course, there is also the vast majority of English speakers who don't care one way or another. This essay examines why the Oxford comma or was invented, then refutes the arguments of those who religiously use it, and recommends that any writer who understands what he writes has no need to make its use mandatory. Contents [ show]Case for the Oxford comma Edit The main argument, that of the Oxford comma's adherents, is that using a comma just before the final \"\"and\"\" or \"\"or\"\" of a series in some cases eliminates ambiguity. This is true, and should be so obvious that we need not delay ourselves with examples. But then lists can be difficult to write, particularly long ones. It is easy to confuse the reader, so a careful writer will always take special care with them. Indeed, some writers use semi-colons instead of commas, or, more frequently, a mixture of semi-colons and commas, so that more convoluted ideas can be expressed."

My views on the term's origin have not changed much, as you can see by the fact that Dr. Seuss's Nerd has joined me in the page's icon (assuming that you're not viewing the page in the \"\"Full Width\"\" style), but it does seem like time to reorganize the material. The factor that made me decide that nerd might be a label worth reclaiming was its early association with Dr. Seuss. Having grown up with the Cat in the Hat, Horton and the Grinch, there are worse things to identify with than a hirsute curmudgeonly Seuss character, especially when one is a hirsute curmudgeonly engineer, as I am. Controversy Nerd vs Knurd The biggest surprise that my page has brought me is the vehemence of a number of readers that the original spelling is \"\"knurd' and that the word derives from reversing the sense of the word \"\"drunk\"\", despite the lack of any documentation in support of the assertion. I had encountered this origin through an article published in the IEEE Spectrum (April 1995, page 16). It was also mentioned in the Jargon File, but was dismissed there as \"\"a bogus folk etymology\"\". I tended then to agree with this assessment and am even more inclined to do so now. Still, the theory has a number of adherents, especially among alumni of RPI, and so I will cover it below.

Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment: The right of a tenant to possess and use real property in the manner that was originally intended at the time of the lease and to be free of nuisances that would interfere with those uses. Constructive Eviction: The legal term for a situation in which a landlord’s actions or inactions causes a tenant’s possession and use of leased premises to be so unpleasant or inconvenient that the tenant is forced to leave the premises. Implied Warranty of Habitability: An implied term in every residential lease that some jurisdictions attach so that a landlord must, under an implied term of every lease, assure that the leased premises are fit for living in. Delivery of Possession The landlord’s duty to deliver possession of the property to the tenant is, of course, the essence of any leasehold, because the leasehold itself is nothing more than possession of the property for a certain period of time. Therefore it is clear that, as a fundamental duty inherent in the leasehold, the landlord must give the tenant to legal right to possess the property. The question becomes whether the landlord has to give the tenant not only the right to possess the property but actual possession as well. In other words, does the landlord have to make sure that the tenant can actually physically take possession of the property or must he simply allow the tenant to legally take possession? For example: George leases his ranch in Texas to Colin. When Colin comes to take possession, however, he finds that Dick is occupying the land illegally."

"text": "\"Is it true that the language I speak shapes my thoughts? People have been asking this question for hundreds of years. Linguists have been paying special attention to it since the 1940's, when a linguist named Benjamin Lee Whorf studied Hopi, a Native American language spoken in northeastern Arizona. Based on his studies, Whorf claimed that speakers of Hopi and speakers of English see the world differently because of differences in their language. What we have learned is that the answer to this question is complicated. To some extent, it's a chicken-and-egg question: Are you unable to think about things you don't have words for, or do you lack words for them because you don't think about them? Part of the problem is that there is more involved than just language and thought; there is also culture. Your culture—the traditions, lifestyle, habits, and so on that you pick up from the people you live and interact with—shapes the way you think, and also shapes the way you talk. There's a language called Guugu Yimithirr (spoken in North Queensland, Australia) that doesn't have words like left and right or front and back. Its speakers always describe locations and directions using the Guugu Yimithirr words for north, south, east, and west."

Arthur L. Costa and Bena Kallick, in their book, Learning and Leading with Habits of Mind (2008) identified 16 of the attributes humans display when they behave intelligently. Earlier versions of this research suggested there were seven habits of mind, but now, Costa and Kallick are inviting others to identify Habits of Mind they may have overlooked. The core values of The DBQ Project correspond to many habits of mind. See below for details. Habit of Mind The DBQ Project Method Persisting : Stick to it!

I'm a chronic nail biter, and my parents tried a lot of things to break me from the habit: nail polish so foul that it made me want to be sick, gloves at night, manicures, the lot. All to no avail.

"text": "\"June 1, 2013 - No need to panic, at least not yet. But let me remind you that the deadline for training all employees on the changes brought about by OSHA’s adoption of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) into the Hazard Communication standard is getting closer by the day. And while the December 1, 2013 deadline for getting all mandatory employee training completed may seem a long way off, just remember that it was more than fourteen (14) months ago that the revised OSHA Haz-Com standard was published and the deadline was first announced!One of the best ways to understand a new (or revised) OSHA standard, I believe, is to prepare to teach a class about the topic. I am already covering this topic when conducting OSHA 10 and 30 hour Outreach training classes. And I just produced and posted on our website a free online GHS training tutorial titled “ Understanding the GHS Labeling System ” for employers to use for employee training purposes, and am currently working on the companion course on understanding safety data sheets (will be ready soon). And many of you already know that I create and post one free toolbox talk each month on our website related to the GHS training requirements; my goal is to have twelve (12) free GHS-related toolbox talks posted by December 1, 2013 that employers can utilize for employee training. As a result of these efforts, I have come to have a much better understanding of the revised OSHA Haz-Com standard. When researching the labeling requirements of the GHS system, you will note the requirement that one of two “Signal Words” must appear on all container labels and safety data sheets (SDS’s) for harmful chemicals and products; either “DANGER” or “WARNING”. For many employees (and employers), these two terms may seem to be interchangeable, but once you dig into the standard and its appendices, you can see there is a distinct difference between their use and intent. In a nutshell, the signal word “DANGER” identifies chemicals and products that present, relatively speaking, a greater or more immediate hazard to the worker, whereas “WARNING” identifies chemicals and products that present a lesser (although still potentially harmful) degree of hazard."

He not only theorized on it, he adopted nonviolence as a philosophy and an ideal way of life. He made us understand that the philosophy of nonviolence is not a weapon of the weak; it is a weapon, which can be tried by all. Nonviolence was not Gandhi’s invention. He is however called the father of nonviolence because according to Mark Shepard, “He raised nonviolent action to a level never before achieved.” 1 Krishna Kripalani again asserts “Gandhi was the first in Human history to extend the principle of nonviolence from the individual to social and political plane.” 2 While scholars were talking about an idea without a name or a movement, Gandhi is the person who came up with the name and brought together different related ideas under one concept: Satyagraha. Gandhi’s View of Violence / Nonviolence Gandhi saw violence pejoratively and also identified two formsof violence; Passive and Physical, as we saw earlier. The practice of passive violence is a daily affair, consciously and unconsciously. It is again the fuel that ignites the fire of physical violence."

Thanks, jane Laurie Frederiksen on 03/20/2010> How long should I keep all club records, tax returns, etc, > after a club has been dissolved. Hi Jane, Good question. In a nutshell, the answer is 3 to 6 years. For more details, here is a nice write up from the IRS that covers everything. It has information that applies to individual financial records as well. http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98513,00.html Another thing to think about these days is the storage of your monthly statements. Many financial institutions no longer provide paper statements. My club is in the process of switching brokers and I realized that I was going to need to download all of our statements so that we'd have them where they were accessible. I'm going to plan to start storing statements in my club's files area in bivio."

Company X may sue you for the things you do under this Agreement.

"text": "What is the difference between a theory and a model in management? Posted on August 9, 2011 by Shabeer Ahmad For many people a theory and a model may mean the same thing. These words are used loosely by people in daily life as well as in business speak. To grasp management concepts clearly, and to apply theories and models correctly, it is important to have clear definitions of words. This is my take on the subject – lets have your views. THEORYAccording to Oxford dictionary , theory is “a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained”, or “a set of principles on which the practice of an activity is based. ”Merriam-Webster Learners dictionary defines theory as “an idea or set of ideas that is intended to explain facts or events”, or “an idea that is suggested or presented as possibly true but that is not known or proven to be true. ”In a nutshell, theory is an idea, a suggestion or a proposition put forward to explain something based on flimsy evidence or experience, but that which has not, or cannot, be verified to be true in all cases. From management perspective, a theory is an explanation of why and what leads to certain behaviours in people. An example of management theory is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, which states that people are motivated on needs that are hierarchical."

"text": "Levels of measurement It is often useful to categorize variables in terms of what is called their level of measurement. There are essentially three levels of measurement to be concerned with: Nominal level Ordinal level Interval level Nominal level variables have no order to them. The word “nominal” comes from the same root as the word “name.” Names are in fact a nominal-level variable. Other common examples are gender and race. Social Security numbers also constitute a nominal level variable. Why? Although your Social Security number is a course a number, it is not a number that has any meaning other than to identify people. We cannot order Social Security numbers in any meaningful way. Some people have Social Security numbers that start with a higher number than others but there is no meaningful difference signified by this."

In other words they are involved in the synapse that is they send message in the form of nerve impulse. Actually all the functions of the body depend on these neurotransmitters like heart beats when it receives signals from the brain.

In hopes of making the list smaller and more useful, I decided to list ten tips that discuss situations I have encountered either through my own experience or that were sparked by other people's questions. Some of these hints are simple while others a little more advanced. Whether you are a novice or an expert, I hope you will find them useful. Commands take effect right away. If you are an experienced Cisco router user, you probably just groaned. However, I find that this concept escapes new users. As you type commands into the configuration mode, they immediately take effect. For example, if we change the router's name, we see that the very next line contains the new router name: Router1#config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router1 (config)#hostname My Router My Router (config)#^Z My Router#As you can see, we changed the router's name to My Router, which was immediately processed."

"text": "Classical 101 | The Difference Between Chamber, Philharmonic, And Symphony Orchestra By Michael Vincent on August 4, 2014I recently had a discussion with a friend who asked about the difference between the term chamber, philharmonic, and symphony orchestra. “ What makes one a philharmonic and another a symphony orchestra, he asked? “ Also, what is a chamber orchestra exactly?”These are very good questions, and if you’re not sure, don’t feel bad, as even some of us the classical music world find it a bit confusing. So, let’s clarify. In essence, the differences between chamber, philharmonic and symphony orchestra are based on an understanding of the origins of the terms. Firstly, the term orchestra simply means a group of instrumental musicians. That’s it! It can be used in any music genre. This is why we have groups known as the Brian Setzer Orchestra (big band) and the London Symphony Orchestra. Think of it as another word for group."

Simply put, politics and religion don’t mix. . . . There are several historical \"\"facts\"\" secularists use to support their views. One of the most important historical facts is the absence of the word \"\"God\"\" in the U. S. Constitution. To a secularist, the absence of the word \"\"God\"\" has a deep, almost mystical significance. It suggests that the framers had little or no interest in religion.

We have already considered in earlier studies that the word aion was the word selected by the Holy Spirit to be used as the exact equivalent of the Hebrew word olam, and to carryon the truth being revealed by this word. And we have seen that \"\"the thread that runs so true\"\" through every occurrence of olam is the idea of ever-flowing. The student may at first feel it is impossible to relate in any way some occurrences of olam to the idea of out-flowing or ever-flowing, but this is usually due to having taken a quick glance at the passage. I do not hesitate to say that there is no occurrence of olam that cannot in an honest manner be related to this basic idea. As an example of the thread of truth that runs through a family of words let us consider the word purse, indicating the bag which my lady carries. Does this have any relationship to the bursa in my shoulder that at one time flared up into bursitis? And is it also related to pursing the lips, or to the famous Bourse, the French stock exchange? At first glance one might say no, but the fact is that they are all closely related, and the thread that runs through all of them is the idea of hide, that is, a stripped-off skin."

[ Alternate editors for UNIX environments include pico and emacs, a product of GNU. ] The UNIX vi editor is a full screen editor and has two modes of operation: Command mode commands which cause action to be taken on the file, and Insert mode in which entered text is inserted into the file. In the command mode, every character typed is a command that does something to the text file being edited; a character typed in the command mode may even cause the vi editor to enter the insert mode. In the insert mode, every character typed is added to the text in the file; pressing the <Esc> ( Escape) key turns off the Insert mode. While there are a number of vi commands, just a handful of these is usually sufficient for beginning vi users. To assist such users, this Web page contains a sampling of basic vi commands. The most basic and useful commands are marked with an asterisk ( * or star) in the tables below. With practice, these commands should become automatic."

Introduction For many years scientists, pathologists, urologists, and oncologists have been trying to understand what causes prostate cancer. And of course we still don't know. What we do know is that before there is a prostate cancer cell in your prostate there must be something else. In other words, prostate cancer cells do not suddenly spring into existence fully formed and without any sort of explanation. Many scientists and clinicians are now nearly convinced that before patients get prostate cancer at least some of them get a condition called prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, commonly abbreviated to PIN."

( Genesis 21:32,34; 26:1,8) Between the times of Abraham and Joshua the Philistines had changed their quarters, and had advanced northward into the plain of Philistia. The Philistines had at an early period attained proficiency in the arts of peace. Their wealth was abundant, ( Judges 16:5,19) and they appear in all respects to have been a prosperous people. Possessed of such elements of power, they had attained in the time of the judges an important position among eastern nations. About B.

But do they mean anything? Bible Code: The Book A new book entitled The Bible Code (Drosnin 1997) came out last June and has occupied the bestseller lists since then. It is written by journalist Michael Drosnin, who claims that the Hebrew Bible contains a very complex code that reveals events that took place thousands of years after the Bible was written. Drosnin contends that some foretold events later happened exactly as predicted. The book has been reviewed widely and has stimulated pieces in Newsweek and Time. Drosnin has also been making the rounds of the talk-show circuit, including the Oprah Winfrey Show in June. Time said that Warner has reportedly bought the movie rights (Van Biema 1997). Drosnin’s technique is heavily based on that of Eliyahu Rips of Hebrew University in Israel, who published an article entitled “Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis” in the journal Statistical Science (Witztum, Rips, and Rosenburg 1994).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia STUMBLING-BLOCK; STUMBLING-STONEstum'-bling-blok, (mikhshol, makhshelah; proskomma, skandalon): These are the most important of the varied renderings of either of two cognate Hebrew words, or of two different Greek words. Sometimes the Greek word for \"\"stone\"\" (lithos) accompanies the principal word. There is no important difference in the meaning of the words or of their renderings. the Revised Version (British and American) generally substitutes \"\"stumbling\"\" for \"\"offence\"\" of the King James Version. The literal meaning of the Hebrew words-an object which causes one to stumble or fall-appears in such passages as Leviticus 19:14: \"\"Thou shalt not.... put a stumblingblock (mikhshol) before the blind\"\" (compare Jeremiah 6:21 ). But the expression is ordinarily figurative, referring to that which causes material ruin or spiritual downfall, which were closely connected in Old Testament thought ( Psalm 119:165 Ezekiel 21:15 ). The things that lead astray are silver and gold ( Ezekiel 7:19 ); idols ( Ezekiel 14:3 Zephaniah 1:3, etc.). One of the New Testament words, skandalon, literally means the stick of a trap to which the bait is attached, and which when touched springs the trap. Figuratively either word refers to a thing or a person that leads one to fall into error, into sin or into destruction: the cross of Christ ( Galatians 5:11 Romans 11:9 ); another's liberty ( 1 Corinthians 8:9 ); Peter in Matthew 16:23; Christ, whose life and character were so different from Jewish expectation ( Romans 9:33 )."

"text": "Reconstruction in Mississippi, 1865-1876By Jason Phillips“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way. ”With these words, Charles Dickens began A Tale of Two Cities, his novel about the French Revolution in the late 18th century. The same language could describe post-Civil War Reconstruction in Mississippi. Depending on your perspective, Reconstruction was the best or worst time, an age of political wisdom or foolishness, a time of heartfelt belief or profound doubt, a brilliant period of limitless possibilities or the darkest chapter of our past. Reconstruction for Mississippi’s black and white citizens was particularly intense. Places with the shortest, perhaps most mild, Reconstruction experience were the Upper South states of Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia, where former slaves were a minority of the population, and white citizens had refused to join the Confederacy until after the war’s first military engagement at Fort Sumter. States with the longest and most divisive Reconstruction were states where most of the population was black and whose white leaders had established the Confederacy, such as South Carolina, the first state to secede from the Union, and Mississippi, the second to secede. Reconstruction, which went through two phases, lasted for eleven years in Mississippi. Being the center of slavery and cotton culture, heavily agricultural places such as Mississippi seceded first and returned to the Union last. Planters, who had produced cotton for the world market, emerged from the Civil War in a state of shock."

"text": "\"Loftus and Palmer Saul Mc Leod published 2010, updated 2014Psychologist Elizabeth Loftus has been particularly concerned with how subsequent information can affect an eyewitness’s account of an event. Her main focus has been on the influence of (mis)leading information in terms of both visual imagery and wording of questions in relation to eyewitness testimony. Loftus’ findings seem to indicate that memory for an event that has been witnessed is highly flexible. If someone is exposed to new information during the interval between witnessing the event and recalling it, this new information may have marked effects on what they recall. The original memory can be modified, changed or supplemented. The fact the eyewitness testimony can be unreliable and influenced by leading questions is illustrated by the classic psychology study by Loftus and Palmer (1974) Reconstruction of Automobile Destruction described below. Loftus and Palmer (1974) Study Aim: To test their hypothesis that the language used in eyewitness testimony can alter memory. Thus, they aimed to show that leading questions could distort eyewitness testimony accounts and so have a confabulating effect, as the account would become distorted by cues provided in the question. To test this Loftus and Palmer (1974) asked people to estimate the speed of motor vehicles using different forms of questions. Estimating vehicle speed is something people are generally poor at and so they may be more open to suggestion."

Possessing a history of more than two and a half millennia of commentary and interpretation, the I Ching is an influential text read throughout the world, providing inspiration to the worlds of religion, psychoanalysis, business, literature, and art. Originally a divination manual in the Western Zhou period (1000–750 BC), over the course of the Warring States period and early imperial period (500–200 BC) it was transformed into a cosmological text with a series of philosophical commentaries known as the \"\" Ten Wings \"\". [ 3] After becoming part of the Five Classics in the 2nd century BC, the I Ching was the subject of scholarly commentary and the basis for divination practice for centuries across the Far East, and eventually took on an influential role in Western understanding of Eastern thought. The I Ching uses a type of divination called cleromancy, which produces apparently random numbers. Six numbers between 6 and 9 are turned into a hexagram, which can then be looked up in the I Ching book, arranged in an order known as the King Wen sequence. The interpretation of the readings found in the I Ching is a matter of centuries of debate, and many commentators have used the book symbolically, often to provide guidance for moral decision making as informed by Taoism and Confucianism."

It is an effort to reconstruct and revive, in a modern Celtic cultural context, pre-Christian Celtic religions. Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism originated in discussions among amateur scholars and Neopagans in the mid-1980s, and evolved into an independent tradition by the early 1990s.

"text": "The Grammarphobia Blog Is “close proximity” redundant? February 11th, 2015Q: I would love to hear your perspective on “close proximity.” If “in proximity to” means “close to,” what does “in close proximity to” mean? Including “close” seems redundant to me, but it feels odd to leave it out. A: Well, the phrase “in close proximity” isn’t very graceful (we’d prefer “near” or “close to”), but we don’t consider it redundant, as we’ll explain. The Oxford English Dictionary defines “proximity” as “nearness” or “the fact, condition, or position of being near or close by in space. ”So theoretically the noun “proximity” should need no help from an adjective like “close. ”But theory is one thing and fact is another. In reality, there are degrees of nearness, so it’s reasonable to indicate how near with the use of an adjective like “close,” “closer,” or “closest. ”Used by itself, “proximity” sometimes seems inadequate, which may be why the naked word feels odd to you."

"text": "Chinese languages, also called Sinitic languages, Chinese Han, principal language group of eastern Asia, belonging to the Sino-Tibetan language family. Chinese exists in a number of varieties that are popularly called dialects but that are usually classified as separate languages by scholars. More people speak a variety of Chinese as a native language than any other language in the world, and Modern Standard Chinese is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. The spoken varieties of Chinese are mutually unintelligible to their respective speakers. They differ from each other to about the same extent as the modern Romance languages. Most of the differences among them occur in pronunciation and vocabulary; there are few grammatical differences. These languages include Mandarin in the northern, central, and western parts of China; Wu; Northern and Southern Min; Gan (Kan); Hakka (Kejia); and Xiang; and Cantonese (Yue) in the southeastern part of the country. All the Chinese languages share a common literary language ( wenyan ), written in characters and based on a common body of literature. This literary language has no single standard of pronunciation; a speaker of a language reads texts according to the rules of pronunciation of his own language. Before 1917 the wenyan was used for almost all writing; since that date it has become increasingly acceptable to write in the vernacular style ( baihua) instead, and the old literary language is dying out in the daily life of modern China.

Open Document The First Triumvirate and The Second Triumvirate The First Triumvirate and The Second Triumvirate were two very different systems of leadership considering the people that were involved. The people that were each had their own way of ruling, which caused complications and which also caused triumph in certain cases. The First Triumvirate did not accomplish as much as the Second Triumvirate due to difficulties among each other. Julius Caesar, an effective speaker joined forces with two other powerful men to create what became the First Triumvirate. The First Triumvirate included Pompey the Great, and Marcus Licinius Crassus, along with Julius Caesar. ( Balsdon 75) In seventy one BC Pompey the Great, who had earned his epithet in service under Sulla, returned to Rome, after having defeated the ever so popular general Sertorius in Spain. At the same time Pompey was returning to Rome, Marcus Licinius Crassus, a rich aristocrat, was restrained in Italy. ( White 14) Pompey and Crassus ran for the position of consulship, and since it was a position held by two men they both won. Even though Pompey at this time was ineligible Julius Caesar helped him win. The two consuls were now Pompey and Crassus. ("

New York / Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1982, pp. 143-177. ) Ideology and Race in American History Barbara J. Fields The notion of race has played a role in the way Americans think about their history similar to that once played by the frontier and, if anything, more durable. Long after the notion of the frontier has lost its power to do so, that of race continues to tempt many people into the mistaken belief that American experience constitutes the great exception in world history, the great deviation from patterns that seem to hold for everybody else. Elsewhere, classes may have struggled over power and privilege, over oppression and exploitation, over competing senses of justice and right; but in the United States, these were secondary to the great, overarching theme of race. U. B. Phillips once wrote that the determination to preserve a white man's country was the central theme of Southern history. l Today, chastened by the failed hopes of the civil-rights era and genuinely appalled at the ironic turn of events that has seemed at times to give the Ku Klux Klan as much standing in California and Michigan as in Georgia or Mississippi, many humane individuals would regretfully extend Phillips's dictum."

"text": "Description CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONSThis application is a continuation-in-part of U. S. patent application Ser. No. 11/861,106 filed Sep. 25, 2007, entitled, RECONSTRUCTION OF A SURFACE ELECTROCARDIOGRAM BASED UPON AN ENDOCARDIAL ELECTROGRAM, in the names of Renzo DAL MOLIN; Anissa BOURGUIBA; Fabienne POREE; Guy CARRAULT; and Alfredo HERNANDEZ, which application is incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein. FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to “active implantable medical devices” as such devices are defined by the Jun. 20, 1990 Directive 90/385/CEE of the Council of the European Community, and particularly to the implantable devices that continuously monitor the cardiac rhythm and deliver to the heart, when necessary, electrical pulses for pacing, resynchronization, cardioversion and/or defibrillation in the case of a rhythm disorder that is detected by such device. The invention more particularly relates to processing the signals representative of cardiac depolarization potentials of the myocardium, such signals being collected through epicardial or endocardial electrodes for pacing, sensing or defibrillation of the atria or right and left ventricles, of these implantable devices. Even more particularly, the present invention is directed to a method for the reconstruction of a surface electrocardiogram (ECG) starting from an endocardial or epicardial electrogram (EGM). BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONIt is known that EGM signals can be collected by use of electrodes placed on endocardial or epicardial leads that are implanted with the device. These signals, directly correlated to the electrical activity of cardiac cells, provide much useful information for the purpose of assessing the patient's condition. Hence, after amplifying, digitizing and filtering, they are mainly utilized to control the cardiac pacer and diagnose some rhythm disorders requiring, for example, automatic triggering of an antitachycardia, antibradicardia, or interventricular resynchronization therapy, through implementing advanced analysis and decision taking algorithms. However, when it comes to analyzing the heart rhythm in a subjective way, in order to perform a diagnostic or readjust the parameters of an implanted device, the practitioners prefer, in practice, to interpret the information given by the surface electrocardiogram (ECG)."

"text": "\"Types of Language Change Language is always changing. We've seen that language changes across space and across social group. Language also varies across time. Generation by generation, pronunciations evolve, new words are borrowed or invented, the meaning of old words drifts, and morphology develops or decays. The rate of change varies, but whether the changes are faster or slower, they build up until the \"\"mother tongue\"\" becomes arbitrarily distant and different. After a thousand years, the original and new languages will not be mutually intelligible. After ten thousand years, the relationship will be essentially indistinguishable from chance relationships between historically unrelated languages. In isolated subpopulations speaking the same language, most changes will not be shared. As a result, such subgroups will drift apart linguistically, and eventually will not be able to understand one another. In the modern world, language change is often socially problematic."

Eurasiatic [1] is a proposed language macrofamily that would include many language families historically spoken in northern, western, and southern Eurasia. The idea of a Eurasiatic superfamily dates back more than 100 years. Joseph Greenberg 's proposal, dating to the 1990s, is the most widely discussed version. In 2013, Mark Pagel and three colleagues published what they believe to be statistical evidence for a Eurasiatic language family. The branches of Eurasiatic vary between proposals, but typically include Altaic ( Mongolic, Tungusic and Turkic ), Chukchi-Kamchatkan, Eskimo–Aleut, Indo-European, and Uralic —although Greenberg uses the controversial Uralic-Yukaghir classification instead. Other branches sometimes included are the Kartvelian and Dravidian families, as proposed by Pagel et al., in addition to the language isolates Nivkh, Etruscan and Greenberg's \"\"Korean–Japanese–Ainu\"\".

After you've played a few (10 if I'm not mistaken) ranked games the cliend shows you your ranked elo. Everyone starts at 1200 and after each game you win or lose a certain amount, depending on your combined team's elo and the one of the enemy team.

"text": "\"Previous page Table of Contents Next page Reaching a wider audience, including seniors, means thinking broadly about what constitutes communication and how best to communicate. A first step is to define the means or \"\"medium\"\" you should use to reach senior clients and customers—choosing those that will best reach your audience. Communication \"\"Medium\"\" Defined When developing communications to include a senior audience, think broadly about all the potential vehicles and means of communication. Businesses, financial institutions and governments may think they communicate largely through advertising and written information. But they also communicate each time they answer the telephone, greet clients in an office, branch or store, or broadcast over a public address system. The design, organization and content of their Web sites also give strong messages to potential users, letting them know whether the site was set up with them in mind. Example: In a medical clinic, pay attention not only to written or illustrative material handed out during a visit, but also to the telephone answering system, the directional signage, the comfort of the seating, the acoustics of the waiting room, and the interpersonal listening and communication skills of doctors, nurses and reception staff. 28Example: Providing current information about a product or service on your Web site will mean that many members of your audience will have access to it. But, has your Web site been designed to meet the needs of older users—who might not be as experienced with navigation, and who might have visual impairment? Plan to design for all users, test the results and be prepared to make adjustments."

My mom is 90 and still lives on her own in her own home--so she's not a senior citizen? And according to movie theaters around here, the public transportation system, maybe even Denny's, you don't qualify to get a senior citizen discount until you're 65 or 66. AARP let's you join them at 50, and that's supposedly an organization in the interest of senior citizens (which is debatable).

Would this have any effect on a general surgery to neuter a dog? ( 7 year old Golden Retriever) Thanks! Optional Information: Age: 7; Male; Breed: Golden Retriever Share this conversation Answered in 3 hours by: 2/12/2006Pet Specialist: Dr. Hanson Your Golden Retriever is a large breed dog (51 to 90 pounds). Large breeds are considered geriatric between 7 and 10 years old. The benefits of neutering (both health and behavioral) can still be obtained regardless of the age at which neutering is performed. Neutering can be performed without problems in most canine geriatric patients. As you know, preanesthetic laboratory tests relevant to anesthetizing an older dog are recommended and only your dog's veterinary surgeon can make an accurate judgment as to whether surgery should be postponed until your dog's hemoglobin (presently elevated at 18.4) comes to within normal limits. The surgical procedure for neutering a dog is performed under general anesthesia."

Duncan, [1866], at sacred-texts.comp. 87MASTER MASON, OR THIRD DEGREE. 1THE ceremony of opening and conducting the business of a Lodge of Master Masons is nearly the same as in the Entered Apprentice and Fellow Crafts' Degrees, already explained. All the business of a \"\"Blue Lodge\"\" (a Lodge of three Degrees) is done in the Lodge while opened on this Degree, except that of entering an Apprentice or passing a Fellow Craft, when the Lodge is lowered from the Masters' Degree for that purpose. The Third Degree is said to be the height of Ancient Free-masonry, and the most sublime of all the Degrees in Masonry (Royal Arch not even excepted); and when it is conferred, the Lodge is generally well filled with the members of the Lodge and visiting brethren. The traditional account of the death, several burials, and resurrections of one of the craft, Hiram Abiff, the widow's son, as developed in conferring this Degree, is very interesting. We read in the Bible, that Hiram Abiff was one of the head workmen employed at the building of King Solomon's Temple, and other ancient writings inform us that he was an arbiter between King Solomon and Hiram, king of Tyre; but his tragical death is nowhere recorded, except in the archives of Freemasonry. Not even the Bible, the writings of Josephus, nor any other writings, however ancient, of which we have any knowledge, furnish any information respecting his death. It is very singular, thatp. 88a man so celebrated as Hiram Abiff was, universally acknowledged as the third most distinguished man then living, and, in many respects, the greatest man in the world, should pass from off the stage of action, in the presence of King Solomon, three thousand three hundred grand overseers, and one hundred and fifty thousand workmen, with whom he had spent a number of years, and with King Solomon, his bosom friend, without any of his numerous confrères even recording his death, or any thing COMPASSES, PLACED IN A LODGE OF MASTER MASONS, ''BOTH POINTS ELEVATED ABOVE THE SQUARE,'' (See Note B, Appendix. )"

"text": "\"Lying and Withholding Information A reader emailed the following interesting question: Is it moral to lie in order to preserve a secret, in a situation where refusing to answer cannot preserve the secret? For instance, if a close friend comes up and asks me, \"\"Have you ever used cocaine? \"\", and I say \"\"That's none of your business\"\", they have a strong reason to believe that I have used cocaine, because if I hadn't I would have told them that I hadn't. ( I'm sure there are better examples.) So the only way to really preserve the secret is to lie. But since I'm not trying to lie to the person, but only trying to withhold information, it seems like saying that isn't *really* lying, or, at least, doesn't have the same moral significance. What do you think? Aside: such examples suggest that it would be a good public strategy for one to regularly assert one's right to privacy as a matter of principle, even when you could happily tell the truth. In other words, don't answer \"\"no\"\" to any question that you wouldn't also have been willing to answer \"\"yes\"\" to. That way, others can't employ those magical information-producing inferences when you try to withhold information from them."

Lies seem to serve the same purpose as the addictive substance itself – they provide an escape from difficulty and unpleasantness. At first, the addict will lie to protect his or her secrets, to get out of trouble, or to avoid criticism that might lead to feelings of shame and guilt."

He changed his name from Saul to Paul, and straightway preached his revelations about the ‘Christ’ in the synagogues. Paul continued to have new ‘revelations’ that spoke ‘of’ and ‘for’ a Christ, but he was glaringly silent about the actual life of Yahushua (Jesus) and his teachings. In Paul’s epistles we find him using the words ‘Christ, Son of God, grace, redemption, resurrection, etc.’, but we learn little or nothing about Yahushua and his actual teachings. They’re virtually absent from Paul’s epistles. What we learn about are Paul’s revelations. Roughly 50% of the New Testament (13 epistles) is from Saul, a man who neither knew Yahushua in the flesh, nor was instructed by the apostles. Rather, he taught by unsubstantiated revelation, Ezekiel 13:2-9 ."

Both of them were trying to cover up mistakes. I certainly had grace for their mistakes, but I’ve wondered looking back if I didn’t have grace for their lies. Neither of these two friends are in contact anymore. We don’t talk. Being in a relationship with somebody who lies is tough. It’s not that you don’t love them or care about them, it’s just that you can’t connect. Without trust, there’s no relationship. Henry Cloud and John Townsend say people lie for one of two reasons.

God told Adam and Eve “of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Genesis 2:17). Later Satan lied to Eve and deceived her by saying, “You shall not surely die” (Genesis 3:4). Jesus says concerning Satan, “When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” (John 8:44). Just as Satan has deceived many people down through the ages, he continues to deceive the vast majority of people today with his lies. Anything that contradicts God’s word in the Bible is just another lie of Satan. The following are some of the ways Satan continues to deceive people through his lies. Universalism - This lie of Satan says all people will be saved and none will be lost. But Jesus says “wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14)."

But if you haven’t yet confirmed (but do suspect) that your spouse or partner has a gambling addiction, look carefully at his or her behavior patterns for signs that gambling has become more than just a casual occurrence. Compulsive lying is one of the symptoms of compulsive or pathological gamblers. These gamblers are addicted to gambling, and lying becomes second nature to them. What are some of the common lies compulsive gamblers tell? Read on.#1: I don’t have a gambling problem. Anyone who flat-out denies they have a gambling problem, despite evidence to the contrary, is either well on their way to full-blown gambling addiction or is already there. By the time someone is deep into gambling, their behavior becomes consistent and predictable. They will do anything and say anything to get to their primary goal: gambling. That they stretch the truth or tell outright lies is an understatement."

It's an interesting concept, until we weigh this presentation to the Word of God. Is it necessary to lie in order to spread the Truth contained in the Word of God?

But coming up with a systematic plan for becoming more honest will be difficult unless you try to define those reasons and those people for yourself. Lies to make ourselves look better might include exaggerations, embellishments, and flat-out tall-tales we tell to others, and ourselves, to make ourselves feel better about our inadequacies. When you're unhappy about something, it's much easier to fill it in with lies than tell the truth. We lie to peers we think are better than us, because we want them to respect us as we respect them. Unfortunately, being dishonest is disrespectful in the long run. Give people more credit for their ability to empathize and understand you on a deeper level. Lies that avoid embarrassment might include lies told to cover up bad behaviors, transgressions, or any activity we're not proud of. If your mom found a pack of cigarettes in your jacket, you might lie and say that they're your friend's to avoid punishment."

The reason, it appears, is that this word has taken on a new, undesirable meaning. What does the Arabic “Insha Allah” mean? It’s actually a phrase and not one word, but the words are combined into one for easier pronunciation. This phrase is used worldwide by Muslims of all languages, even recognized among many non-Muslims, and it means “God willing.” Three words make up this phrase: “In”, which means “if”; “Shaa’ ”, which means “will;” and “Allah,” meaning “God.” Literally, it means “If God wills so.” It’s part of every Muslim’s daily vocabulary, as we are taught by Islam not to make definitive statements about the future, since only God knows what will happen."

"text": "[an error occurred while processing this directive]Gospel Teachings About Lying by Elder Dallin H. Oaks This fireside address was given to faculty, students, and alumni of BYU on September 12, 1993. My brothers and sisters. I am glad to be with you tonight. Before I get to my prepared remarks, I want to say something about the faculty of our Law School. Soon after I went into law teaching, Edward H. Levi, who was then dean of the University of Chicago Law School (later a distinguished attorney general of the United States), became provost of the university and appointed me associate dean and acting dean of the law school. During the nine months I carried that responsibility, Edward Levi gave me a lot of tutoring and counsel. One thing he told me is appropriate for repeating in the wake of the “good old days” nostalgia that has characterized the Law School's 20th anniversary celebration. “ Don't refer too much to the early days and the great faculty members who were here when this law school was founded,” Levi counseled. “ You have to avoid talking too much about the great faculty members of the early days, lest the students and the public conclude that the great people who have taught at this law school were all in the early days and overlook the fact that the really great ones are those who are here now. ”I concur in that counsel as applied to our own circumstance."

This monologue is about the file that is the Normal Template, about where and how to find it, about how you can control what it is called and where it lives, and about some of the weird and wonderful things that can happen. If you are interested in exploring some of the more obscure mechanics of Word, read on, but ... This article is not about how Word uses its Normal Template, or what it keeps in it; it is not about how you can use your Normal Template to control the format of your documents, or to make editing of them easier. If you want more of that kind of end user-oriented information, I can recommend articles by Word MVP s Dian Chapman ( Normal.dot Template — Explained) and Suzanne Barnhill ( How to change the default settings for Word documents ). It is also probable that there is some good information amongst the total disorganisation that is the Word Team Blog, but I don’t know how to find it. Word works with Templates; it can’t do anything without Templates. Every Document has one, and Word, itself, has one. If you don't provide a Template it can use, Word will create one for you from a set of built-in defaults. Whatever the source of Word’s Template, however, it does belong to you: you use it however you see fit, to make Word work the way you want."

Understand the features of nonverbal communication and how it interacts with verbal and written communications. Communication can be categorized into three basic types: (1) verbal communication, in which you listen to a person to understand their meaning; (2) written communication, in which you read their meaning; and (3) nonverbal communication, in which you observe a person and infer meaning. Each has its own advantages, disadvantages, and even pitfalls. Verbal Communication Verbal communications in business take place over the phone or in person. The medium of the Message is oral. Let’s return to our printer cartridge example. This time, the Message is being conveyed from the Sender (the Manager) to the Receiver (an employee named Bill) by telephone. We’ve already seen how the Manager’s request to Bill (“We need to buy more printer toner cartridges”) can go awry."

"text": "\"Territorial Spirits Written by Prof Johan Malan. Abstract: A key concept in the Transformations Movement is the identification and binding of territorial spirits. This practice fails thorough biblical scrutiny. In this article we shall looking at the modern teaching concerning what is called “territorial spirits”. According to this teaching there are specific, evil spirits that rule over a community, village, town, city or country; that is, they rule over a geographical area, and so are called “territorial spirits”. It is further taught that these territorial spirits have power and authority to keep the people in their geographical area in darkness, bondage and sin. Even more significantly than this, the promoters of this teaching tell us that these territorial spirits have such a hold on the local community or city, that the Gospel itself cannot be effective, gain entrance or spread in this area until these territorial spirits are first identified and then bound, overcome and rebuked in prayer. They teach that people will not turn to the Lord, be converted and delivered from sin, darkness and bondage in any significant numbers unless we first identify and then bind and rebuke the power of these territorial spirits. This is what they say and teach. This is an outline of the teaching in the simplest form possible, and I’m sure you will agree that if this teaching is true, it is of the utmost significance."

He who does not love does not know God; for God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. Last week several people responded to the message with a question.

Most public libraries offer free use of books, magazines, videos, computers, and other services. Other things that you might need for these activities are not expensive. For each set of activities, we give an age span that suggests when children should try them. From one activity to the next, we continue to talk about children at different stages: babies (birth to 1 year), toddlers (1 to 3 years), preschoolers (ages 3 and 4), and kindergartner/early first-graders (ages 5 and 6). Remember that children don't always learn the same things at the same rate. And they don't suddenly stop doing one thing and start doing another just because they are a little older. So use the ages as guides as your child learns and grows. Don't consider them to be hard and fast rules. You'll see that your role in the activities will change, too."

"text": "Chapter 3The Process of Listening We said earlier that the first step in listening effectively is to recognize certain fallacies or false notions. The next step is to understand the process. Listening is a complex process—an integral part of the total communication process, albeit a part often ignored. This neglect results largely from two factors. First, speaking and writing (the sending parts of the communication process) are highly visible, and are more easily assessed than listening and reading (the receiving parts). And reading behavior is assessed much more frequently than listening behavior; that is, we are more often tested on what we read than on what we hear. And when we are tested on material presented in a lecture, generally the lecture has been supplemented by readings. Second, many of us aren’t willing to improve our listening skills. Much of this unwillingness results from our incomplete understanding of the process—and understanding the process could help show us how to improve. To understand the listening process, we must first define it."

"text": "The Gospel in the Stars: Part 1By J. R. Church on July 17, 2011Long before men perverted the message of the constellations and established ancient idolatry, God named the stars and set them in the heavens for signs:“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years” (Genesis 1:14). The book of Job predates the writing of Genesis. Though it is part of the Bible, it was written about a man who lived before Moses. Job had no written Bible. The Bible this ancient pilgrim read consisted of a series of constellations that appeared in the night skies high above the earth. There are references to these constellations in the book of Job, along with an explanation of why they appear as they do in the heavens. Job 26 tells us that the “crooked serpent” is one of God’s leading characters in this drama of the ages and that these constellations — these “pillars of heaven” — make up the “parts” of God’s “ways”:“The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. “By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.“ Lo, these are parts of his ways … (Job 26:11,13-14). These verses explain that the constellations were devised to teach early man about God’s plan for redemption."

The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing ( leading ), and letter-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space between pairs of letters ( kerning [1] ). The term typography is also applied to the style, arrangement, and appearance of the letters, numbers, and symbols created by the process. Type design is a closely related craft, sometimes considered part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers. [ 2] [3] Typography also may be used as a decorative device, unrelated to communication of information. Typography is the work of typesetters (also known as compositors ), typographers, graphic designers, art directors, manga artists, comic book artists, graffiti artists, and, now, anyone who arranges words, letters, numbers, and symbols for publication, display, or distribution, from clerical workers and newsletter writers to anyone self-publishing materials."

But their advice on font selection is less precise: “Always choose an easily readable typeface (e.g. Times New Roman) in which the regular style contrasts clearly with the italic, and set it to a standard size (e.g. 12 point)” ( MLA Handbook, 7th ed., § 4.2). So which fonts are “easily readable” and have “clearly” contrasting italics? And what exactly is a “standard” size? For academic papers, an “easily readable typeface” means a serif font, and a “standard” type size is between 10 and 12 point. Use A Serif Font Serifs are the tiny strokes at the end of a letter’s main strokes. Serif fonts have these extra strokes; sans serif fonts do not. ("

But from my own experiences of learning English and German (and also from seeing some European friends learning Japanese), I can say with confidence that learning spoken Japanese is, in fact, not so difficult. The grammar is in many ways simpler than most European languages. Take for example the fact that we don’t have cases, grammatical genders, nor articles.

"title": "https://www.typotheque.com/articles/deconstruction_and_graphic_design_history_meets_theory\nDeconstruction and Graphic Design: History Meets Theory",
"text": "Since the surfacing of the term ‘deconstruction’ in design journalism in the mid-1980s, the word has served to label architecture, graphic design, products, and fashion featuring chopped up, layered, and fragmented forms imbued with ambiguous futuristic overtones. This essay looks at the reception and use of deconstruction in the recent history of graphic design, where it has become the tag for yet another period style. We then consider the place of graphics within the theory of deconstruction, initiated in the work of philosopher Jacques Derrida. We argue that deconstruction is not a style or ‘attitude’ but rather a mode of questioning through and about the technologies, formal devices, social institutions, and founding metaphors of representation. Deconstruction belongs to both history and theory. It is embedded in recent visual and academic culture, but it describes a strategy of critical form-making which is performed across a range of artefacts and practices, both historical and contemporary. Jacques Derrida introduced the concept of ‘deconstruction’ in his book Of Grammatology, published in France in 1967 and translated into English in 1976. ‘ Deconstruction’ became a banner for the advance guard in American literary studies in the 1970s and 80s, scandalising departments of English, French, and comparative literature. Deconstruction rejected the project of modern criticism: to uncover the meaning of a literary work by studying the way its form and content communicate essential humanistic messages. Deconstruction, like critical strategies based on Marxism, feminism, semiotics, and anthropology, focuses not on the themes and imagery of its objects but rather on the linguistic and institutional systems that frame the production of texts."

It works with your layout, grid and color choice to create a well-rounded design. Your choice of typefaces and your technique of setting type give your composition its character, pace and style. Not only does it give the copy legibility, it also helps the reader gain a greater insight into the subject of the design. For a designer, typography is as important as reporting is to an SEO. A simple illustration of how influential typography can be is to look at the same text with different typefaces."

"text": "\"Technology and Inequality NBER Reporter: Winter 2003Daron Acemoglu (1)Many OECD economies have experienced sharp increases in wage and income inequality over the past several decades. In the United States, for example, the college premium -- the wages of college graduates relative to the wages of high school graduates-- increased by over 25 percent between 1979 and 1995. Overall earnings inequality alsosoared: in 1971, a worker at the 90th percentile of the wage distribution earned 266 percent more than a worker at the 10th percentile. By 1995 this number had risen to 366 percent. ( 2) Are new technologies -- in particular, computers, computer-assisted machines and robotics, and advances in communication technology -- responsible for these changes? More generally, what are the implications of technical change for the labor market? Some economists now believe that, although other factors including the decline in the real value of the minimum wage, de-unionization, and globalization have played some role, the major driving force behind the changes in the U. S. wage structure is technology. This consensus is built on the notion of technology-skill complementarity: technical change favors more skilled (educated) workers, replaces tasks previously performed by the unskilled, and increases the demand for skills. Consequently, many commentators see a direct causal relationship between technological changes and these radical shifts in the distribution of wages taking place in the U. S. economy. ( 3)Although the consensus is now broad, the idea that technological advances favor more skilled workers is a 20th-century phenomenon."

"text": "\"Abstract. Fordism refers to the system of mass production and consumption characteristic of highly developed economies during the 1940s-1960s. Under Fordism, mass consumption combined with mass production to produce sustained economic growth and widespread material advancement. The 1970s-1990s have been a period of slower growth and increasing income inequality. During this period, the system of organization of production and consumption has, perhaps, undergone a second transformation, which when mature promises a second burst of economic growth. This new system is often referred to as the \"\"flexible system of production\"\" (FSP) or the \"\"Japanese management system.\"\" On the production side, FSP is characterized by dramatic reductions in information costs and overheads, Total Quality Management (TQM), just-in-time inventory control, and leaderless work groups; on the consumption side, by the globalization of consumer goods markets, faster product life cycles, and far greater product/market segmentation and differentiation. Fordism. Henry Ford was once a popular symbol of the transformation from an agricultural to an industrial, mass production, mass consumption economy. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932), for example, styles the modern era AF -- after Ford."

"text": "Unqualified: ‘The great reproach to Christianity’March 15, 2016 Janet Mefferd Filed Under Janet's Blog“The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. ”I Timothy 3:1I believe all faithful evangelical Christians would agree that there are many serious sins besetting our visible churches today, rendering too much of the Body spiritually stunted, intellectually shallow and morally compromised. But of all the sins that beset us, I have become convinced that one of the most grievous and most harmful to the Body is our dangerously unbiblical view of and cavalier attitude toward the sacred pastoral ministry. Simply put, today’s evangelical largely has no problem with men who have no business being pastors … being pastors. Here’s one example of this phenomenon: Steven Furtick, pastor of North Carolina’s Elevation Church, who has rightly come under widespread fire for both ethical and theological misdeeds and sins. Furtick, for instance, was credibly accused of using what Forbes calls a “laundering operation” — through a now-defunct company called Result Source — to dishonestly game the system to land one of his books onto the New York Times bestseller list. He was criticized for his “spontaneous baptisms” scandal, his self-serving “We are United Under the Visionary” page in a coloring book made available at his church, and his purchase of a 16,000-square-foot megamansion, while refusing to disclose his salary. Theologically, Furtick has further problems. He has called Trinity-denying T. D. Jakes the “greatest preacher of our time.” He also has said: “We don’t teach from books of the Bible because it gets in the way of evangelism."

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

"text": "\"Why Are US and EU Policies Toward GMOs So Different? Kym Anderson and Lee Ann Jackson University of Adelaide, South Australia A global computable general equilibrium model is used to examine how adoption of genetically modified (GM) biotechnology affects the welfare of interest groups within the United States and the European Union in the absence of policy responses to this technology and in their presence. Results indicate that changes in real income of producers can help explain differing GM policies in these two regions. Key words: biotechnology, general equilibrium, political economy, standards, trade policy. \"\" Until we understand why our society adopts its policies, we will be poorly equipped to give useful advice on how to change those policies\"\" ( Stigler, 1975, p. xi). Introduction Over the past decade, the United States (US) and the European Union (EU) have implemented widely divergent regulatory systems to govern the production and consumption of genetically modified (GM) agricultural crops. In the United States, many products have been tested and commercially produced and marketed, while in the EU, few products have been approved and a de facto moratorium has limited the production, import, and domestic sale of most GM crops. These divergent approaches have led to conflict over the implications for international trade in genetically modified products, to the point where in September 2003 the United States, Canada, and Argentina succeeded in establishing a World Trade Organization dispute panel to begin to test the legality of European policy towards imports of GM foods. Data show that GM policies of the EU are substantially altering trade flows. Canadian varieties of GM canola have not been approved, so its exports to the EU ceased after 1998, to the benefit of Australian and Central European canola growers."

"text": "\"Notes on Labor, 1875-1900The following are notes on the reading. The Workers' World Introduction from Digital History Many American workers experienced the economic transformations of the late 19th century in terms of a wrenching loss of status. For free white men, pre-Civil War America, more than any previous society, was a society of independent producers and property holders. Farmers, shopkeepers, and craftsmen generally owned the property they worked. About four-fifths of free adult men owned property on the eve of the Civil War. High rates of physical mobility combined with the availability of western lands to foster a sense that the opportunity to acquire property was available to anyone who had sufficient industry and initiative. After the Civil War, however, many American workers feared that their status was rapidly eroding. The expanding size of factories made relations between labor and management increasingly impersonal. Mechanization allowed many industries to substitute semi-skilled and unskilled laborers for skilled craft workers. A massive influx of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe saturated labor markets, slowing the growth of working-class incomes."

BABUIN A fanciful monster, silly creature, or a leering face drawn in the margins of a medieval manuscript. We get our modern word baboon from this French term for the little grotesque creatures that illuminators drew and doodled. Typically, the babuin is engaged in silly antics, such as playing or interacting with the letters on the page, chasing other babuins, or even engaging in copulatory and scatological activities. BACHIC FOOT A three-syllable foot of poetry consisting of a light stress followed by two heavy stresses. This verse pattern was not unknown in Greek verse, but is fairly rare in English verse. An example of a phrase that corresponds in meter to the Bachic foot is \"\"that strong king.\"\" The bachic foot is also called a bachius or a molossus, and poetry written in bacchic feet is said to be written in bachic meter.

Let's take ACA RBs. WF lists the requirements here - tight ranges to which all facets/proportions must conform: Depth 59.5-62%, Table 53-58%, Girdle T-M-Sl Thk, Culet N-P-S, Pol/Sym Id/Id, Crown 34-35d, Pav 40.6-40.9d, Star 48-55%, LGF 76-80%, radial optical symmetry. So, they chose a template and ran with it. Obviously this results in stones that look very similar in still photos and that manipulate light similarly, but apparent light return \"\"type\"\" can be quite different based on stone (facet) size - so a 0.5ct ACA and a 2.5ct ACA actually perform visibly differently. Then there's the Octavia."

The study of reading is a science with roots in many domains; linguists study reading, psychologists study reading, educators study reading, even computer scientists are studying reading. The process of reading has been dissected and examined from a variety of perspectives, and experts in the field have had to adopt and modify terminology or generate new terminology to describe what their examinations have revealed. Unfortunately, all of this new and precise technical terminology can be confusing - it is necessary when you are trying to describe a precise concept, but there are so many concepts in reading and reading instruction that the terminology can interfere with clear communication at times. The Reading Coherence Initiative (RCI) at the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory has put together this glossary of terms related to reading and reading instruction so that people can quickly and easily check terms as they encounter them. Also, as people are trying to describe precise and technical concepts, they may find this glossary a useful resource of precise and technical terms. Being a web-based document, this is a flexible and living document - if there are terms which are either omitted or which you feel are misrepresented in this glossary, let us know by typing the term and definition in the form below. After a peer review, the term will be added to the glossary. Affix — An attachment to the end or beginning of base or root word."

I, of course, aware of the many hours I have idled away doing nothing, demur. It feels like nothing special; I don't work harder, really, than most people. Nonetheless, these people do have a point. I am, in fact, a fairly prolific writer. Part of it is tenacity. For example, I am writing this item as I wait for the internet to start working again in the Joburg airport departures area. But part of it is a simple strategy for writing your essays and articles quickly and expertly, a strategy that allows you to plan your entire essay as you write it, and thus to allow you to make your first draft your final draft.

"text": "Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent and our language — so the argument runs — must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hansom cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes. Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Monosyllable)navigation search A syllable is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is typically made up of a syllable nucleus (most often a vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically, consonants ). Syllables are often considered the phonological \"\"building blocks\"\" of words. They can influence the rhythm of a language, its prosody, its poetic meter and its stress patterns. Syllabic writing began several hundred years before the first letters. The earliest recorded syllables are on tablets written around 2800 BC in the Sumerian city of Ur. This shift from pictograms to syllables has been called \"\"the most important advance in the history of writing \"\". [ 1]A word that consists of a single syllable (like English dog) is called a monosyllable (and is said to be monosyllabic ). Similar terms include disyllable (and disyllabic; also bisyllable and bisyllabic) for a word of two syllables; trisyllable (and trisyllabic) for a word of three syllables; and polysyllable (and polysyllabic ), which may refer either to a word of more than three syllables or to any word of more than one syllable."

There are symptoms of omission in which linguistic units cannot be retrieved or are partially omitted, and symptoms of commission in which incorrect elements are selected unintentionally. Anomia refers to word finding difficulty. Patient is unable to evoke, retrieve, or recall a particular word. The problem is most evident in the case of nouns, but this may be because nouns constitute a large proportion of a speaker's word use. Some patients, unable to evoke an elusive word, substitute another word, phrase, gesture or use circumlocutions (i.e., they talk around or about the specific word. Verbal paraphasia and circumlocutions may be examples of a more generalized category of symptoms called anomia. Paraphasias - A paraphasia is a symptom of commission in that it is an incorrect word substituted for an intended or target word. It is the product of a breakdown at a stage of word-retrieval process and is a dominant symptoms within the more general category of anomia. Phonemic paraphasias also called literal paraphasias, involve the substitution, addition, or rearrangement of speech sounds so that the error can be identified as sounding like the target."

[ 2] In simpler terms, a hyponym is in a type-of relationship with its hypernym. For example, pigeon, crow, eagle and seagull are all hyponyms of bird (their hypernym); which, in turn, is a hyponym of animal.

A hyponym is a word or phrase whose semantic field is more specific than its hypernym. The semantic field of a hypernym, also known as a superordinate, is broader than that of a hyponym. An approach to the relationship between hyponyms and hypernyms is to view a hypernym as consisting of hyponyms. This, however, becomes more difficult with abstract words such as imagine, understand and knowledge. While hyponyms are typically used to refer to nouns, it can also be used on other parts of speech. Like nouns, hypernyms in verbs are words that refer to a broad category of actions."

"text": "What is Esoteric? Methods in the Study of Western Esotericism By Arthur Versluis Until comparatively recently, there was very little scholarship on Western esotericism as a field. There were, of course, various articles and books on aspects of Western esotericism like alchemy or Rosicrucianism, but there was virtually no sense in the scholarly world that these disparate tributaries of thought formed a larger current of Western esotericism as such. One finds landmark studies in the mid-twentieth century by authors like Frances Yates, but no one who demarcated “Western esotericism” as a field for interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary study. This situation was to change with the work of Antoine Faivre (1934-) who, in the last quarter of the twentieth century, with numerous major books and articles defined an entire field of inquiry. Faivre holds a chair in the École Pratique des Hautes Études at the Sorbonne in the “Histoire des courants ésotériques et mystiques dans l’Europe moderne et contemporaine,” and his work represents the first strictly academic overview of Western esotericism. In his view, it is best to speak of Western esotericism in terms of “forms of thought” rather than in terms of “occult tradition” or similar terminology. He is interested in delineating the elements that make up particular ways of thinking we can mark as “esoteric,” and this methodological approach has been widely accepted. In his definitive book Accès de l’ésotérisme occidental, (1996), he demarcates four primary and two secondary characteristics that he sees as common to all the various currents of Western esotericism. Faivre’s six characteristics are, again, as follows: 1."

In this article he wrote:“The servant leader is servant first … It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first.

Culture reflects the characteristics that describe a society at a particular time. Culture is mostly associated with the art forms of the group. Ethnicity and culture are inter-related. Yet just what do they actually mean? Are they merely synonyms for one another, or do they point to very different dimensions of the social order? Let’s identify the terms ethnicity and culture as currently used in popular discourse, and also let’s focus on the significance of there usages. Wikipedia defines ethnicity as “A socially defined category of people who identify with each other based on a shared social experience or ancestry.” Ethnicity is also known as ethnic group."

The customs, traditions, attitudes, values, norms, ideas and symbols govern human behaviour pattern. The members of society not only endorse them but also mould their behaviour accordingly. They are the members of the society because of the traditions and customs which are common and which are passed down from generation to generation through the process of socialisation. These common patterns designate culture and it is in terms of culture that we are able to understand the specific behaviour pattern of human beings in their social relations.

Culture, in this sense, refers to certain personal characteristics of a individual. However, this is not the sense in which the word culture is used and understood in social sciences.

The philosophical distinction is this: An attribute is a derivative aspect or feature of something. A characteristic is an intrinsic part of the nature (character) of something. So in the generic religious sense of the Lectures Of Faith, ‘mercy’ is a characteristic of God, because it is part of the very nature of God; but ‘justice’ is an attribute of God, because it is a manifestation in the world that derives from characteristics like mercy.6.8k Views · View Upvoters Related Questions More Answers Below What is the difference between attributes and skills?

Location Location is a word that describes where a physical structure is, in either specific or general terms. Specific location is referred in the address of the place. For example, when you talk about the location of your house, you can talk in terms of its number along with the name of the street on which it is situated. Another way of describing the specific location is to talk in terms of the coordinates of the place.

"text": "You are here: Home / From My Pen - By Don Rath Jr / Acoustics of Music / Basic Characteristics of Sound Basic Characteristics of Sound0Basic Characteristics of Sound In this information Age, the quest and journey for knowledge is something we all spend a lot of time doing. Well, I don’t know about you but sometimes I simply do not understand something when it is presented in only one way and so I search for other means to gain the understanding and knowledge I seek. As a result, I wander around scratching my head pondering and wondering, all the while not understanding what was being taught in that moment, until such time as new information comes along and all of a sudden the itch of wonder is replaced by knowledge and certainty. Understanding sound and the basic characteristics of sound can be more easily learned in that same way. There are several concepts that are difficult to understand in music unless they are presented in more than one way too. Hopefully this article will help you to understand the basics of sound more fully by this multi-sensory approach. It is through an understanding of the characteristics that make up sound that you can more fully appreciate what you listen to, but more so, gain an understanding of some of the basic tools a composer considers and uses when creating a piece of music. After all, music is actually and simply sound and sound has only four basic characteristics. When we arrange these characteristics in such a way that we find it pleasing to listen to we call that music. Fundamentals of Music and the Characteristics of Sound The basic characteristics of sound and the fundamentals of music are by their very nature a necessary tools to use in many of the future papers I will be presenting over time."

The society of the trilogy defines its citizens by their social and personality-related affiliation with five different factions, which removes the threat of anyone exercising independent will and threatening the population's safety.

Hopefully, if the rumors are true, then, this will be the first time that the two will be seen together as a couple. Theo James' on screen partner in the \"\"Divergent\"\" and \"\"Insurgent\"\" movie is Shailene Woodley. Rumors about James and Woodley dating have been floating around; however, such rumors are untrue since Theo James' girlfriend, Ruth Kearney, may appear in the \"\"Insurgent\"\" movie premiere.

The Indianapolis Star published this report on Indiana filmmaking in September 2013. In a world where Illinois and Ohio are big players in the movie industry, Indiana is barely in the game. Mercenary filmmakers go where the deals are, and 39 states offer tax incentives to production crews. Indiana isn't one of those states. In the coming months, Pittsburgh will stand in for Indianapolis in \"\"The Fault in Our Stars,\"\" while Massachusetts towns will represent fictional Carlinville, Ind., in Robert Downey Jr.'s film \"\"The Judge.\"\" Coming to the 2014 Indiana General Assembly: A lobbying group that insists a new law is the only thing that stands between the Hoosier state and Hollywood gold."

"text": "Magic's First Pop Star Collins Key has achieved what no other magician has ever done—let alone at 17 years of age. Not only did he change the game in the way magic is presented on America’s Got Talent—and set a new standard for amazement—but he was the very first magician to make it to the final round in 8 seasons. As Howard Stern pointed out in a recent interview, it was “a huge win for his career.” To date, Collins is the first magician to be born out of social media and the only magician to constantly trend on social media world-wide. After completing the 36–city America’s Got Talent National Tour, “Magic’s First Pop Star” did something else that has never been done before in the history of magic—he made it sexy, fresh, and engaging for the teen demographic when he opened for Demi Lovato on her 30-city Neon Lights Tour. Collins captured the imagination and hearts of over 12,000 screaming fans, nightly, across the U. S. and Canada. Thousands of girls mobbed him after every performance as he left the arenas—this is the first time it has ever happened for a magician and it is completely unheard of in the magic community. With his popularity skyrocketing, Collins was asked to be a presenter on the 2014 Teen Choice Awards, taking center stage with such superstars as Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, and Ansel Elgort, among others. He was also a featured speaker for TEDx, and is the top-subscribed teen-magician on You Tube. Collins began his career at the age of 12 when he transformed a simple birthday party into an unforgettable experience."

See the Full List By Allison Takeda March 4, 2015MTV revealed the nominees for the 2015 MTV Movie Awards, including The Hunger Games, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Fault in Our Stars, and more! Murray Close/Lionsgate Roll out the red carpet…again! The Oscars may be over, but awards season lives on in the 2015 MTV Movie Awards. The network revealed its nominees for the big event on Wednesday, March 4 — and suffice it to say, this is not just any old awards show. While Oscar-nominated films like Boyhood, Birdman, and American Sniper are among the honorees, crowd-pleasers like Guardians of the Galaxy, The Fault in Our Stars, Neighbors, and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 get top billing. Guardians, Fi OS, and Neighbors lead the pack with seven nominations each, followed by 22 Jump Street and Whiplash, both of which are up for five buckets of golden popcorn. PHOTOS: Stars at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards As in years past, the MTV Movie Awards will feature traditional categories including Movie of the Year, Best Female Performance, and Best Male Performance. The real draw, though, is the inclusion of more, say, unique awards, like Best Scared-As-S–t Performance, Best Shirtless Performance, Best Fight, Best WTF Moment, and the ever-popular Best Kiss, which usually results in some GIF-worthy onstage lip-locking. Check out the full list of nominees below, and tune into the show on Sunday, April 12, at 8 p.m. You can cast votes for your favorite films beginning March 4."

During an appearance on the “ Today ” show, the “Divergent” actress said that she'll wait for the studio's decision before she can finally confirm whether or not she will reprise her role as Tris. The actress, despite giving a lighter comment, maintained that she will only return to the franchise if the last installment is a movie. “I signed up to tell the whole story of Tris, and I would love to be able to do that,” Woodley said. “ Nothing would make me happier. ”Woodley had told Screen Rant that she's not exactly enthusiastic about jumping on board the proposed TV movie. Her comment was rather acerbic and hinted at finality. “I didn't sign up to be in a television show,” Woodley said. “ Out of respect to the studio and everyone involved, they may have changed their mind and may be doing something different, but I'm not necessarily interested in doing a television show."

"text": "\"Nulla Bona Definition - What does Nulla Bonamean? Nulla bona is a Latin term that, literally translated, means \"\"no goods. \"\" It is used in a legal context in relation to goods being seized to fulfill debt repayment by bailiffs tasked by the court to seize such for payment. If the bailiff or sheriff cannot find any goods of value to seize and sell to repay the debt, the term \"\"nulla bona\"\" will be written on the warrant that was issued to the bailiff to collect or seize the goods. Justipedia explains Nulla Bona In order for goods to be collected by a bailiff against a debt, a seizure writ must be issued against goods that hold a minimum individual value. This writ is called a \"\"writ of fieri facias.\"\" The ability to collect debt money in this way is most commonly used in Western Europe. It is rarely seen in use within the United States, although some states have legalized it. Nulla bona can also be claimed by a garnishee in circumstances where they believe that they do not owe a debtor money, or do not possess property that can be seized to pay a debt with a writ of fieri facias. However, if a debtor does have property that can be seized to pay a debt, then it is typically seized if a writ of fieri facias has been issued. \""

"text": "\"Garnishment What is garnishment? Garnishment is a legal process by which a person to whom you owe money and who has started a lawsuit against you seeks to obtain money from your bank account or paycheck. When is garnishment possible? Before a creditor can start to garnish your wages or bank account, it must first have started a lawsuit to collect money that it claims you owe. If the creditor obtains a judgment against you—regardless of whether it’s a judgment after a hearing or trial or a default judgment—Minnesota law allows the creditor to begin the garnishment process. ( For more information on how to respond to any lawsuit that is started against you, please refer to the Attorney General publication, Answering a Lawsuit.) Minnesota law also allows a creditor to start the garnishment process without obtaining a judgment if you are served with a lawsuit that you don’t answer in a certain amount of time, or if the creditor demonstrates to the court that you intend to try to put your money out of reach of your creditors. How is garnishment started? To begin the garnishment process, a creditor sends a “Garnishment Summons” to your bank or employer (known as the “Garnishee”). Creditors can garnish both wages and bank accounts."

"text": "Writ of Garnishment Law and Legal Definition A writ of garnishment is an order granted to a third party (garnishee), to hold or attach the property of a defendant or judgment creditor. A garnishee can be a person or a corporation who is in possession of the property of a judgment creditor or a defendant. A motion to quash writ of garnishment can be motion to suppress, set aside or make void a writ of garnishment due to lack of jurisdiction or unlawful basis. A motion to quash the writ of garnishment asks the judge to nullify its order, to a garnishee, of seizure or attachment of property of a defendant or judgment creditor. Chapter 4, Article 4 under Title 18 (Debtor and Creditor) of the Official Code of Georgia deals with garnishment proceedings and post judgment garnishment proceedings. O. C. G. A. § 18-4-62 as it appears in the Code:§ 18-4-62. Contents and service of summons of garnishment; requirements as to filing of answer to summons (a) The summons of garnishment shall be directed to the garnishee, commanding him to file an answer stating what money or other property is subject to garnishment. Except as provided in subsection (b) or (c) of this Code section, the answer must be filed with the court issuing the summons not sooner than 30 days and not later than 45 days after the service of the summons and must be accompanied by the money or other property subject to garnishment. Upon the affidavit and summons being delivered to the sheriff, marshal, constable, or like officer of the court issuing the summons, it shall be his duty to serve the summons of garnishment upon the person to whom it is directed and to make his entry of service upon the affidavit and return the affidavit to the court. The summons of garnishment shall state that, if the garnishee fails to answer the summons, a judgment by default will be entered against the garnishee for the amount claimed by plaintiff against the defendant.

Even if your insurance covers you, it may not cover everything and you would be liable for whatever damages insurance doesn't cover. Judgments are valid for many years - 20 in some jurisdictions - and they accrue interest at better than market rates. The judgment creditor will be able to garnish your wages until the judment is paid off. Many people file for bankruptcy just to avoid the judgments in cases like this."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Garnish. Garnishment is an American legal process for collecting a monetary judgment on behalf of a plaintiff from a defendant. Garnishment allows the plaintiff (the \"\"garnishor\"\") to take the money or property of the debtor from the person or institution that holds that property (the \"\"garnishee\"\"). [ 1] A similar legal mechanism called execution allows the seizure of money or property held directly by the debtor. Some jurisdictions may allow for garnishment by a tax agency without the need to first obtain a judgment or other court order. [ 2]Contents [ hide ]1 Wages2 Attachments2.1 Federal taxes3 See also4 References Wages [ edit]Wage garnishment, the most common type of garnishment, is the process of deducting money from an employee's monetary compensation (including salary ), usually as a result of a court order. Wage garnishments may continue until the entire debt is paid or arrangements are made to pay off the debt. [ 3] Garnishments can be taken for any type of debt but common examples of debt that result in garnishments include: Child support Defaulted student loans Taxes Unpaid Court costs When served on an employer, garnishments are taken as part of the payroll process. When processing payroll, sometimes there is not enough money in the employee's net pay to satisfy all of the garnishments. For example, in a case with federal tax, local tax, and credit card garnishments, the first garnishment taken would be the federal tax garnishments, then local tax garnishments, and, finally, garnishments for the credit card."

How do I proceed with the second cause of action for damages in an eviction case and how do I go about garnishing a tenant’s wages? An eviction case is divided into two separate hearings if you choose to pursue both the eviction and the claim for damages. Until a tenant has been evicted and has vacated the rental premises, a landlord cannot know the complete extent of his/her damages. A landlord could choose to do an inspection before the tenant leaves the premises but would only be able to guess at the total damages as the landlord has no idea how the tenant will leave the premises upon move-out. The tenant may leave a mountain of trash for the landlord to clean up. The tenant may damage walls, doors, etc., during the move-out process. The tenant may leave the furnace set at 95 degrees and open all the windows in January. Because of this uncertainty, courts require a second, separate hearing for damages which occurs after the first hearing for the eviction or possession of the premises."

The debtor might not have sufficient assets or income to pay off the entire debt at once. Arrangements with the debtor may be made pre-suit, post-filing/pre-judgment, and post-judgment. The agreement signed will include several key provisions:1. Acknowledgement of debt, or admission of liability to the creditor. This provision may also include consent to the jurisdiction of the court.2. Payment schedule, indicating the amount due per period (usually on a monthly basis), the commencement date, and the number of payments. The agreement will indicate whether interest will be paid upon the settled amount.3. A provision that, upon the completion of the payments, the creditor will provide the debtor one or all of the following: (i) Stipulation of Discontinuance of the action; (ii) Satisfaction of Judgment; (iii) General Release executed by the creditor; or (iv) release of any liens upon assets (such as restraints on a bank account, mechanic's lien, or docketed lien against real property).4."

Garnishee is a person who is liable to pay a debt to judgement-debtor or to deliver any movable property to him. A garnishee order is an order passed by a Court ordering a garnishee not to pay money to the judgement-debtor because, the judgement-debtor is indebted to the garnisher.

The Court may, in the case of a debt (other than a debt secured by a mortgage or a charge) which has been attached under Rule 46, upon the application of the attaching creditor, issue a notice to the garnishee liable to pay such debt, calling upon him either to pay into Court the debt due from him to the judgement- debtor or so much thereof as may be sufficient to satisfy the decree and costs of execution, or to appear and show-cause why he should not do so. The payment made by the garnishee into the Court pursuant to such notice shall be treated as valid discharge to him as against the judgement-debtor. ADVERTISEMENTS: The Court may direct that such amount may be paid to the decree holder towards the satisfaction of the decree and costs of the judgement-debtor. The Court may direct that such amount may be paid to the decree holder towards the satisfaction of the decree and costs of the execution. Where neither the garnishee makes the payment into Court as ordered, nor appears and shows any cause in answer to the notice, the Court may order the garnishee to comply with such notices as if such order were a decree against him."

"text": "More than one in 10 workers ages 35 to 44 had their wages garnished in 2013, mostly for child support and consumer debt, according to a report from human resources management firm ADP. People in that age bracket tend to have large debt loads, go through divorce and raise their children, stretching thin some workers’ finances, hence the high rate of wage garnishment. ADP Research Institute analyzed anonymous 2013 payroll data for 13 million Americans ages 16 and older, revealing 7.2% of employees experienced wage garnishment in 2013. You could have your wages garnished for failing to pay a variety of things, including court-ordered child support, student loans, taxes or other consumer debt. People who have declared bankruptcy may also see their paychecks shrink. Child support is the most common reason someone’s wages are garnished. In 2013, 3.4% of wages were garnished for child support, 2.9% for “other” (generally consumer debt), 1.5% for tax levies and 0.4% for bankruptcy. In a few cases, employers withheld wages for multiple reasons. With the exception of child support, wage garnishment comparably affects men and women. Men have child support withheld at a rate 5% greater than women do."

Ants bite as a way of self preservation and for attacking. No wonder, the name ‘Ant’ has its origins in the German language meaning ‘the biter’. The seriousness of the ant bites on humans varies as per the different species. There are few types of ants that can even sting. There are many symptoms of an ant bite including itching, pain, swelling and even death, depending on the species of ant that has cause the ant bite.

Most individuals who get bitten by ants have usually been found to be accidentally standing over an unnoticed ant mound, or sitting near an ant nest without being aware that they are intruding on the activities of the ants. Ants are really tiny and hence most individuals are generally unaware of the fact that ants are moving about their shoes, pants and legs, until the first ant bite occurs."

Over half, 54 per cent, also confessed they did not know that Lyme disease, a potentially fatal illness caught from tick bites, affects their pets as well as themselves. Knowledge about Lyme disease is increasing and it is known to wreck lives. In extreme cases, the nervous system, joints and heart can be affected, and symptoms may be misdiagnosed as other conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.+2Vets are urging the public to get their dogs checked out for ticks, which can spread potentially fatal diseases - such as Lyme disease - to humans At the other extreme, symptoms may be so mild that someone who's been bitten by an infected tick may experience only flu-like symptoms. Ticks, which flourish in long grass or undergrowth, typically attach to deer but can also be found on foxes, badgers, mice, birds as well as domestic pets - responsible for carrying the ticks into urban areas - and humans. Areas of undergrowth (including parks and gardens - as well as woodland and open country) are most likely to harbour ticks as they drop off their original hosts then climb to a point where they can latch on to other passing wildlife.

Insect bite symptoms Insect bites and stings can be identified with several different symptoms and their manifestation relies on various kinds of factors. A majority of the insect bites result in collective symptoms of redness, pain, excessive itchiness and swelling at the region affected by an insect bite. When an insect bite occurs on the tongue then it can cause the throat to swell up, resulting in respiratory obstruction and untimely death. When affected individuals scratch an insect bite to relieve itching, then it may cause the skin to tear, making it susceptible to secondary bacterial infections. It is important to immediately seek medical attentions for such infections, as it can lead to severe diseases like cellulitis.

There are more insects and invertebrates on Earth than any other living creatures, thus it becomes difficult to specifically classify how they all behave and how they interact with humans, in part because it varies by where you are, the temperament of the crawlie wee beast, the invertebrate's physical make-up, your physical chemistry, etc. However, there are a few commonalities you can look for.

Unless a person has an allergy to insect bites, the symptoms are usually itching, swelling and discomfort. However, on holiday abroad, mosquitoes may transmit diseases such as West Nile virus, dengue fever, and malaria. For people allergic to insect or spider bites, these bites can cause severe trauma and even life-threatening anaphylactic shock. Also, the bites of a few spiders, ticks, and insects are poisonous or associated with specific diseases. Ticks. While most tick bites are harmless, several species can cause life-threatening diseases such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease. Ticks may also transmit tularaemia, relapsing fever, and a potentially fatal condition called ehrlichiosis. On rare occasions, a bite may trigger tick paralysis, which starts with numbness and pain in the legs and can result in respiratory failure."

Their features include a quite slender body, long legs, a balanced pair of wings, along with a pair of halters. The female mosquito is the deadliest among the species and often the main culprit that sucks blood of humans and animals. It is a dreaded carrier of different diseases and has been the primary cause of millions of human fatalities over many centuries. Mosquito bites are a significant threat to human lives, even as of today. Contents [ hide]1 Mosquito bites symptoms2 Causes of mosquito bites3 Diseases caused by mosquito bites4 Mosquito bites treatment5 Mosquito bites pictures Mosquito bites symptoms The signs and symptoms of mosquito bites tend to differ from one affected person to the other. Some individuals may immediately experience the symptoms, while others may elicit them some time after the mosquito bites. Sponsored link Mosquito bites usually lead to some swelling of the affected sites, accompanied by itchiness. Scratching of the areas affected by mosquito bites can result in formation of a bump. Increased scratching of mosquito bites can cause the affected skin to tear up, leaving in its wake, tiny wounds that are susceptible to secondary infections by bacteria and other pathogens People who are regularly affected by mosquito bites generally experience less serious symptoms, due to increased immunity of the body to them."

Knowing what to look for and what to do if you develop a rash from a bug bite can ease your symptoms and provide you with peace of mind. Examples of Bug Bite Rashes A rash is an area of inflamed or irritated skin, and it can have various causes. Sometimes a bug bite rash is confused with other conditions, such as fungal infections and common skin allergies, because it resembles one of them. The following descriptions and photos of rashes caused by common insect bites may help you learn to tell the difference. Bed Bug Rash Bed bugs bite humans and animals to feed off their blood. The wound can appear as one or more red bumps because bed bugs bite their victims several times in a night. The itchy rash often appears as a row or clusters of round, flat or raised red lesions at the site of the bites. Substances in the saliva cause an allergic reaction, which contributes the way the rash looks. Itching begins about an hour after the bugs bite."

Before discussing wasp stings, it is useful to have some general information about wasps. Types of Wasps There are two main categories of wasps: solitary and social. Solitary wasps do not form nests that contain many wasps. It would be unusual to get a wasp sting from this species because they rarely defend their area. They are basically out on their own. A mud dauber is an example of a solitary wasp. They build their nests out of mud and can be found on ceilings, walls, or eaves of buildings."

A: In areas where fire ants are commonly found, most people identify this pest by the appearance of the mound. The painful sting of the fire ant’s bite is another good indicator, but not recommended as a method of identification. Fire ants build mounds in almost any type of soil, but they prefer open sunny areas such as pastures, parks, lawns, and fields. Their mounds can grow 18 to 24 inches in height if the soil conditions are right. Often mounds are located in rotting logs and around stumps and trees. Colonies can also occur in or under buildings. The ants themselves are reddish brown in color and roughly 1/8 to 1/4 inch in length. Q: Are all fire ants the same? A: Actually there are several species of fire ants found throughout the United States some of them indigenous."

A lot of people confuse it with other skin conditions such as a rash or pimples. Many times people describe herpes blisters as an insect bite, razor burn, cut from shaving, an ingrown hair or simply think it’s a yeast infection. Let’s take a closer look at each and compare them to a typical herpes blister.1. An insect Bite: Certainly an insect bite can resemble a herpes blister but it really depends on the particular insect that does the biting. Insect bites tend to have a lot of swelling, itching and pain in the localized area of the bite. Additionally, if you look close enough you can actually see the bite marks on your skin. Of all the insect bites that I have had over the years, a fire ant bites and perhaps a flea bite most closely looks like a herpes blister but the differences are still major. Both bites begin looking like herpes sores but soon develops into a more “pimple-like” appearance."

Some of the common types of insect bite reactions we treat are: Tick bites are usually harmless but there are several ticks that can transmit disease to humans. Lyme Disease is spread by the deer tick with typical cutaneous symptoms of an expanding circular or ring-shaped skin rash. Later, systemic symptoms may occur such as fever, headaches, muscle and joint aches, and heart abnormalities. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is a life threatening illness that is transmitted by the dog tick. Despite its name, it is very commonly spread by ticks in the mountains of North Carolina. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, and a skin rash that spreads from the ankles and wrists to the rest of the body. Spider bites Brown recluse spider bites cause a painful bite that later may develop into a bruise or blister. The bite can become crusty and ulcerate into a non-healing wound. Black widow spider bites typically are not painful but within several hours patients develop a systemic reaction presenting as muscle pain, stomach pain, and breathing difficulties."

"text": "THE BLOG 08/01/2011 03:19 pm ET Updated Oct 01, 2011The Hidden Dangers of Bug Bites By Glenn D. Braunstein, M. D. While you may be relishing your time outdoors in the glorious summer, dining al fresco with the family on the patio, picnicking on the beach or just nabbing a burger or a hot dog at a curbside stand, some familiar, pesky critters at the same time may be munching on you. Bug bites, merely annoying for most of us, can be medically perilous to some who encounter the wrong creepy crawler or experience a severe allergic reaction. When those bites go beyond a bothersome itch, it’s important to know what to look for, how your body may react and if this might be the time to see your doctor. An Inconvenient Truth While most bites or stings just cause swelling and a bothersome urge to scratch, more than two million Americans are allergic to stinging insects, which include honeybees, yellow jackets, wasps, hornets and fire ants. Many of these individuals also may experience life-threatening reactions. More than 500,000 Americans visit emergency rooms every year because of insect stings or bites, and reactions to these are known to cause at least 50 deaths per year. If you experience one of these strong allergic reactions to an insect bite or contact, you could develop anaphylaxis, which is a severe whole-body allergic reaction to a protein from the bug. This can result in coughing or difficulty breathing or swallowing; a feeling of throat fullness; swelling of the lips, tongue, eyes, palms of hands and soles of feet; confusion; lightheadedness or dizziness; fainting; nausea; diarrhea; palpitations, slurred speech; wheezing; abdominal pain; stomach cramps; anxiety; hives and circulatory collapse (shock). This life-threatening condition occurs after your immune system gets sensitized from an exposure to the venom of a bee or other insect sting. When your immune system encounters this toxin again, tissues in various parts of the body react — perhaps overreact — by releasing histamine and other substances that may cause your airway to restrict and your blood vessels to dilate if you’re hypersensitive to stings."

But shockingly, the death were not only because of sting attacks but was more due to the allergic reactions which was cause by released of venom into their body, and where the immune system reacts by anaphylactic reactions or shocks.

"text": "Scientific name: Dromaius novaehollandiae Conservation Status: Least Concern Appearance The emu is the second largest bird in the world, and the female emu is larger and heavier than the male. Emus have a long neck, a short sharp beak and very small ears. They have long feet with three toes. One of the toes on each foot is a talon which can be used for fighting. Emus have two sets of eyelids one which they use for blinking and one to keep out the dust. They have small wings which are virtually useless as emus can not fly. Emus have a hairlike appearance to their feathers. Just like hair feathers grow from a follicle and birds usually have one feather per follicle, but emus grow a double shafted feather from each follicle. Also the barbs on the feathers are spaced further apart on emu feathers and the barbs hang loosely which gives the feathers their hairlike look. When the new feathers grow they are almost black, but the sun fades them to a grayish brown with only the tips and shafts staying black."

"text": "What Hot Desert Does the Thorny Devil Live in? By Karen Mihaylo The only species in the genus Moloch, thorny devils are odd-looking lizards. They have long necks and grow up to 6 inches from tongue to tail tip. Large thorny spines cover their bodies, including their tails and bellies. A large conical spike sits over each eye; a smaller spike rests above each nostril. Thorny devils walk slowly, shakily, holding their tails straight up. Habitat Thorny devils live in the scorching deserts and arid scrub of Australia. The Great Victorian Desert, Great Sandy Desert, Little Sandy Desert, Tanami Desert, Simpson Desert, Gibson Desert and Tirari Desert are all habitats of the thorny devil. Australia's desert temperatures climb up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit and can fall into the 30s at night. Thorny devils tunnel under scrub shade to stay cool on hot days and cover themselves with dirt on cool nights."

"text": "The average ant is about one-millionth the size of a person, but even though they’re small, they’re quite complex. These diminutive creatures undergo many developmental changes during their lifetimes, from egg to adult. What happens during the ant life cycle? Ants go through metamorphosis—a complete change in body form—that has four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Egg. The ant life cycle begins with an egg. Fertilized eggs become female ants, while unfertilized eggs become male ants. Larva. The tiny egg hatches into a worm-shaped larva without eyes or legs. Ant larvae eat constantly, relying on adult workers to feed them."

Acetaldehyde toxic effects are characterized by facial flushing, nausea, vomiting, tachycardia and hypotension, symptoms known as acetaldehyde syndrome, disulfiram-like reactions or antabuse effects. Severe and even fatal outcomes are reported. Besides the aversive drugs used in alcohol dependence disulfiram and cyanamide (carbimide), several other pharmaceutical agents are known to produce alcohol intolerance, such as certain anti-infectives, as cephalosporins, nitroimidazoles and furazolidone, dermatological preparations, as tacrolimus and pimecrolimus, as well as chlorpropamide and nilutamide. The reactions are also observed in some individuals after the simultaneous use of products containing alcohol and disulfiram-like reactions inducers."

Latest revision: 22 Jul 2008. What happens to alcohol when it enters the body? What are the Physical Effects of Alcohol. Answer: Alcohol that is being consumed enters through the mouth and the esophagus into the stomach. A small amount is converted there. The rest comes pure, and thus undigested, into the blood stream and is spread throughout the body. Presence of food in the stomach at the moment of drinking delays the absorption of alcohol in the blood. That's why an alcoholic beverage has a quicker effect when the stomach is empty than when the drink is taken during or after a meal."

At the same time, thousands of others turn to other addiction treatment approaches to address their drug dependence and addiction. Given these differences in approach, the question becomes which of these approaches is right, and which works the best? The answer may not be as simple as making a case for one addiction treatment approach over another. Spoiler alert: there are both potential benefits and major challenges when using Opioid Replacement Therapy in addiction recovery. We are here to address both the benefits and challenges of using ORTs. “A variety of effective treatments are available for heroin addiction, including both behavioral and pharmacological (medications). Both approaches help to restore a degree of normalcy to brain function and behavior. Research shows that for some people, integrating both types of treatments is the most effective approach. ”~ The National Institute on Drug Abuse As NIDA makes clear, there may be more benefit in taking addiction recovery on a case by case basis, rather than arguing that ORT is more beneficial than behavioral therapy (or vice versa)."

"text": "The Sinclair Method | A 12-step treatment center’s take on this “cure”Contrary to what some might say, we at Origins Recovery Centers are actually not very rigid in our thinking. We do teach 12-step principles quite intensely and we believe that they have saved many, many lives. We don’t veer off the course of the original thought and intent behind the 12-step program (hence the name, “Origins”) as we do not believe it benefits the health and well-being of our clients for us to do so. However, with that said, if in fact if there were a method discovered that were clinically, empirically and anecdotally proven to be superior to 12-step recovery we would change our name and adopt a completely new philosophy. Our business is not branding or ideology; our business is getting people well. In other words, we don’t adhere to the 12 steps simply to the end of loyalty; we adhere to them because we believe they work and much more so than any other method that currently exists. It may not surprise you that we do not condone the Sinclair method of treating alcoholism. However, it is not just because it does not incorporate a 12-step approach or because it is also not an abstinence-model of recovery. In fact, it’s quite the opposite; it requires you to drink in order to be effective and the proponents of this method would have you believe that over time your use of alcohol will diminish until your level of drinking has reached normal to below normal amounts. No, we oppose this because it just does not work and we’ll tell you why."

"text": "Bath Salt Addiction Tweet Bath salts are street drugs that contain synthetic chemicals, which are similar to amphetamines. It is unclear what specific chemicals are in bath salts but most contain 3, 4-methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV), mephedrone, pyrovalerone and/or methylone. Illegal street chemists make the drug, which is called Ivory Wave, Purple Wave, Vanilla Sky, Plant Food, Zoom, Bliss and many other names on the street. Signs of Bath Salt Addiction Bath salts contain an unknown mixture of about eighty ingredients, which can lead to a variety of reactions and potential dangers. The side effects of using bath salts include, but are not limited to: Agitation Aggression Paranoia Delusions Hallucinations Confusion Chest pain Kidney pain Increased pulse High blood pressure Nausea and vomiting Hyperthermia Decreased need for sleep or food Liver failure Seizures Suicidal thinking and behavior The immediate and intense physical and psychological effects of bath salts last about three to four hours although a rapid pulse, increased blood pressure and other stimulant effects can linger for a longer period of time. The suicidal thinking/behavior effect must be taken seriously because it carries over even after the stimulatory effects of the bath salts have abated. There have been reported drug related suicides several days after using bath salts. How Addictive Are Bath Salts? Bath salts are highly addictive because addicts crave them because of their stimulant effect. An active ingredient of the drug is a leaf called khat, which is found in the Middle East and East Africa where it is often chewed for the stimulant effect."

"text": "Aversion therapy is a behavioral treatment intervention based on the principles of classical conditioning and behavioral psychology. It is sometimes referred to as conversion therapy or reparative therapy. The goal of aversion therapy is to eliminate bad habits, self-destructive behaviors, or other undesirable behaviors (e.g. nail biting or alcohol abuse) by pairing the behavior with an unpleasant stimulus (e.g. medication-induced nausea or an electrical shock). The assumption is that the problematic behavior is a learned behavior, and as such, can be “unlearned” or changed with proper “conditioning”. Remember Pavlov and his salivating dogs? The conditioning that occurs in aversion therapy very is similar in many ways to Pavlov’s famous experiment. By ringing a bell just prior to feeding them, the dogs became conditioned to salivate at the sound of the bell. This is because they learned to associate the sound with food (if you have pets you’ve likely observed something similar!). Aversion therapy works along the same lines, except unlike the dogs associating the bell with something positive, aversion therapy works to create an association with something negative . If Pavlov had used a device to emit a high frequency whistle (at a pitch that irritates dogs’ ears) every time they started to eat – instead of using a bell – they would have quickly learned to avoid eating the food to avoid the irritating sound."

D., Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Lebanon, Pennsylvania Am Fam Physician. 2005 Nov 1;72 (9):1775-1780. Medications for treating alcohol dependence primarily have been adjunctive interventions, and only three medications—disulfiram, naltrexone, and acamprosate—are approved for this indication by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. Disulfiram, an aversive agent that has been used for more than 40 years, has significant adverse effects and compliance difficulties with no clear evidence that it increases abstinence rates, decreases relapse rates, or reduces cravings. In contrast, naltrexone, an anticraving agent, reduces relapse rates and cravings and increases abstinence rates. Acamprosate also reduces relapse rates and increases abstinence rates. Serotonergic and anticonvulsant agents promise to play more of a role in the treatment of alcohol dependence. Although not approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for this indication, the anticonvulsant topiramate and several serotonergic agents (e.g., fluoxetine, ondansetron) have been shown in recent studies to increase abstinence rates and decrease drinking."

For known or suspected opiate agonist overdose (full reversal). Intermittent Intravenous, Intramuscular, Subcutaneous, or Intraosseous† dosage (standard syringe)Adults0.4 to 2 mg IV, IM, or subcutaneously, up to a total dose of 10 mg; doses may be repeated every 2 to 3 minutes, as needed. In emergency settings, clinical practice guidelines recommend 0.4 to 2 mg IV; alternatively, 0.4 to 0.8 mg may be given by IM or subcutaneous injection if systemic perfusion is adequate. Repeat doses as needed to attain desired response. Some opiate overdoses may require titration to a total naloxone dose of 6 to 10 mg over a short period; for patients with chronic opioid addiction, use smaller doses and titrate slowly to minimize cardiovascular adverse effects and withdrawal symptoms. There is no good evidence to suggest that naloxone improves outcome in patients with opioid-induced cardiac arrest. Thus, once arrest has occurred, airway control is a priority before administration of naloxone."

"text": "\"Question Asked 5 years ago Marc-Andre Bedard36.21 Université du Québec à Montréal What about the orexin (hypocretin) receptors antagonists for the treatment of insomnia? In addition to the psychological approaches, primary insomnia is treated mostly with benzodiazepines and other hypnotic drugs such as zolpidem, zopiclone, and zaleplon. However, new compounds called the orexin antagonists, such as suvorexant (Merck) and SB-649868 (GSK), are currently under development. The preliminary results are fascinating: Major sleep efficiency and total sleep time improvements; No SWS nor REM sleep reduction; No tolerance nor any rebound after withdrawal; Efficacy from the very first night to the end of a 4 week treatment; Improvement on both objective PSG measurements as well as on patient subjective questionnaires. No major side effect, except for daytime sleepiness in 2% of the studied samples. For me, it sounds just like they have found the ideal treatment for insomnia. Have you heard about these substances?

[ 1] In pharmacology, antagonists have affinity but no efficacy for their cognate receptors, and binding will disrupt the interaction and inhibit the function of an agonist or inverse agonist at receptors. Antagonists mediate their effects by binding to the active (orthosteric = right place) site or to allosteric (= other place) sites on receptors, or they may interact at unique binding sites not normally involved in the biological regulation of the receptor's activity. Antagonist activity may be reversible or irreversible depending on the longevity of the antagonist–receptor complex, which, in turn, depends on the nature of antagonist receptor binding. The majority of drug antagonists achieve their potency by competing with endogenous ligands or substrates at structurally defined binding sites on receptors. [ 2]Contents [ show]Receptors Edit Main article: Receptor (biochemistry)Biochemical receptors are large protein molecules that can be activated by the binding of a ligand (such as a hormone or drug ). [ 3] Receptors can be membrane-bound, occurring on the cell membrane, or intracellular, such as on the nucleus or mitochondrion. Binding occurs as a result of noncovalent interaction between the receptor and its ligand, at locations called the binding site on the receptor. A receptor may contain one or more binding sites for different ligands. Binding to the active site on the receptor regulates receptor activation directly. ["

"text": "\"The Communist Manifesto: Philosophic and Economic Ideas/ Historic Consequences©1994 by Chuck Braman Karl Marx claimed that economics determines history, and that one's economic class determines one's ideas. Ironically, he proved himself wrong, in a deadly way. The twelve-thousand word propaganda tract written by Marx in 1848 and known as The Communist Manifesto was a concise summary of many ideas which Marx himself created. These ideas proceeded to shape the history of the twentieth century, including its political and economic history, as well as the ideas of most twentieth century intellectuals. This history included approximately one hundred million innocent citizens slaughtered by Marxist governments, millions more enslaved by Marxist governments, international conflicts on an unprecedented scale, and an intellectual tradition that, at present, is thoroughly entrenched in the humanities and is in the process of destroying the ideas and ideals of the West. There have probably never been fewer words that have caused more misery and destruction than those written by Karl Marx in The Communist Manifesto. Contrary to Marx's professed beliefs, ideas have consequences. The source of the misery and destruction caused by Marx's ideas is the fact that they are fundamentally false, false philosophically, economically and historically. In the instance of Marx's ideas, the true causal chain extends from his false metaphysical, epistemological and ethical premises, to his politics and economics, to the bloody history of the twentieth century. Marx's Epistemology And Its Consequences The underlying epistemological error that Marx commits early in the Manifesto is the advocacy of a form of intellectual determinism and relativism which denies both free will and objectivity by claiming that the truth and falsehood of one's ideas bear no objective status and are determined by, and their truth relative to, one's economic class."

"text": "Solidarity means to take sides with a group of people who are oppressed and exploited by a power that they are trying to counteract. The starting point for solidarity is that the interest of the addressee is actually shared or at least considered worthy of support. Solidarity can be theoretical (e.g. in the form of statements of solidarity for workers on strike against a company or messages of solidarity to student assemblies) or practical (in the form of material support to the addressees, by their own work stoppages, etc.). Is solidarity inherently moral? If, for example, workers at a company strike for higher pay, they are dependent on support from as broad a base and as much unity as possible in order to asssert their demands. Insofar as workers from other departments of the same company or workers from other companies show solidarity with them, they do this because they share the goal and know that this is a necessity. In this respect, their position is not moral, but rational: wage demands are not a higher value to which they relativize their own goals; and supporting them is also not moral, even if one does not immediately aim at one's own material benefit, but “only” finds the goal worthy of support. Labor struggles have a catch, however, that has nothing to do with morality: it is an inadequate means, because a) in enforcing their wage demands, the wage dependent workers receive no wages during the strike, b) the means of survival during a strike, the strike fund, can only be filled by giving up wages, which limits the duration of the strike accordingly. Precisely because his wage is not enough for him to live on, he must fight against the one he is dependent on; and exactly for the same reason, a relentless limit is set on his fight in that only by giving up wages, i.e. a worsening of his starting point, is he able to save up the means to endure the fight. The employer, by contrast, because of his economic means – for him the wage is a means to increase his advance, it is not his existence that depends on it – has the upper hand, and counters strikes with lockouts, thus extorts “wage sacrifices”; so he makes the worker's dependence on wages during a labor dispute his means."

Fogoros, MDUpdated February 10, 2018Share Pin Email Print PIXOLOGICSTUDIO/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY / Getty Images Ever since antiquity, we've used diuretics to pee more. Some diuretics like caffeine are ubiquitous (think tea or soft drinks). However, it wasn't until the twentieth century that mankind realized the pharmacological potential of diuretics. In 1937, researchers discovered carbonic anhydrase diuretics. By 1957, researchers had discovered much more potent chlorothiazide diuretics. Diuretics work by increasing the volume of urine that you produce and altering your body's electrolyte or body salt compositions. Pretty simple concepts, huh? Nevertheless, the various biochemical mechanisms by which diuretics work are inimically difficult to understand. For example, the formation of urine involves concentration gradients, osmosis, transporters and so forth. In a general sense, diuretics work by ridding our body of excess fluid volume or \"\"water.\"\""

"text": "Schizophrenia and Modern Treatment: The Balance of Biology and Psychoanalysis By Kimberly Le Vine Herodotus, the “Father of History,” recorded the earliest suspected case of schizophrenia in King Cleomenes of Sparta between 480 and 425 B. C. In 20 B. C. The poet Horace wrote of a delusional man in Argos demonstrating phrenetis, melancholia, and a third type madness. Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler (1857-1939) first employed the term “schizophrenia,” from the Greek “split brain,” as a diagnosis in 1908 1. Schizophrenia is hardly a modern disorder. Though knowledge of it has circulated since the classical era, ideal treatment for schizophrenia and its symptoms has been disputed just as long. While neuroleptic and other pharmacological treatments indisputably alleviate symptoms, some still doubt their efficacy and healthfulness for patients, citing harmful side effects. Today, debates persist between those who support psychopharmacological treatment and those who maintain that psychoanalytic therapies relieve the patient more efficiently. Although antipsychotic medication proves to be successful in treating patients’ symptoms, psychological effects caused by the neurological disorder must also be dealt with. Therefore, patients suffering from schizophrenia should not only receive pharmacological treatment to manage neurotransmitter imbalances, but should also take part in therapy in order to cope with psychological effects of the disorder. According to Robert Freedman, M. D., patients experience intense symptoms caused by imbalanced neurochemistry and brain dysfunction. Schizophrenia, often confused with Multiple Personality Disorder, generally begins to show in late adolescence or early adulthood and occurs in about one percent of the population."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Sex-limited genes are genes that are present in both sexes of sexually reproducing species but are expressed in only one sex and remain 'turned off' in the other. In other words, sex-limited genes cause the two sexes to show different traits or phenotypes, despite having the same genotype. This term is restricted to autosomal traits, and should not be confused with sex-linked characteristics, which have to do with genetic differences on the sex chromosomes (see sex-determination system ). Sex-limited genes are also distinguished from sex-influenced genes, where the same gene will show differential expression in each sex. Sex-influenced genes commonly show a dominant/recessive relationship, where the same gene will have a dominant effect in one sex and a recessive effect in the other (for example, male pattern baldness ). Sex-limited genes are responsible for sexual dimorphism, which is a phenotypic (directly observable) difference between males and females of the same species. These differences can be reflected in size, color, behavior (ex: levels of aggression), and morphology. An example of sex-limited genes are genes which instruct the male elephant seals to grow big and fight, at the same time instructing female seals to grow small and avoid fights. [ 1] These genes are also responsible for some female beetles' inability to grow exaggerated mandibles, [2] research that is discussed in detail later in this article. The overall point of sex-limited genes is to resolve intralocus sexual conflict."

Then, of course, an antagonism between the aims of society and those of its members can emerge. In order to safeguard the flowering and further development of society it becomes necessary to master the selfishness of the individuals and to compel them to sacrifice their egoistic designs to the benefit of society. At this point all these holistic doctrines are bound to abandon the secular methods of human science and logical reasoning and to shift to theological or metaphysical professions of faith. They must assume that Providence, through its prophets, apostles, and charismatic leaders, forces men who are constitutionally wicked, i.e., prone to pursue their own ends, to walk in the ways of righteousness which the Lord or Weltgeist or history wants them to walk. This is the philosophy which has characterized from time immemorial the creeds of primitive tribes. It has been an element in all religious teachings. Man is bound to comply with the law issued by a superhuman power and to obey the authorities which this power has entrusted with the enforcement of the law. The order created by this law, human society, is consequently the work of the Deity and not of man."

"text": "The Role of Serotonin in Schizophrenia Authors: Shigeto Yamada, MD, Ph D Faculty and Disclosures Introduction Clozapine, which has a high affinity for serotonin receptors, has been shown to be more effective in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Then, there is increased interest in the role of serotonin in pathogenesis and treatment of schizophrenia. A large number of substances that block serotonin receptors have been evaluated for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia. Moreover, serotonin has been implicated in a variety of behaviors and somatic functions that are disturbed in schizophrenia (eg, perception, attention, mood, aggression, sexual drive, appetite, motor behavior, and sleep). Data were presented on the changes in serotonin receptors and its transporters in postmortem or PET studies in patients with schizophrenia and the involvement of serotonin system in the pathogenesis and treatment of schizophrenia in a symposium at the XXIInd CINP Congress held in Brussels, Belgium, July 10-13, 2000. Implication of 5-HT1A Receptors in the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Schizophrenia Millan [1] reported that 5HT 1A receptors have been shown to be increased in the frontal cortex, hippocampus, and thalamus in schizophrenic patients compared with age-matched control subjects, suggesting a lack of age-associated reduction of 5-HT 1A receptors in schizophrenic patients. Biochemical, pharmacologic, and behavioral aspects of the 5-HT 1A agonists S15535 and S16924 have been presented. S15535 has high affinity for 5-HT 2A receptors and acts as an agonist on presynaptic sites and as an antagonist on postsynaptic sites. In a microdialysis study in progress, S15535 enhances frontocortical dopamine and the release of noradrenaline. In a behavioral study in progress, S15535 enhances social interaction in rats, which has been shown to be attenuated by pretreatment with the 5-HT 1A antagonist WAY100,635."

"text": "Coagulation assays Screening coagulation assays and the cascade model of secondary hemostasis Screening coagulation assays are the “bread and butter” of secondary hemostasis testing and consist of the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and the thrombin clot time. The thrombin clot time can be modified to measure fibrinogen concentration. The activated coagulation time (ACT) is an in-house point-of-care test that provides some information on secondary hemostasis and is useful as a screening tool for severe coagulation factor deficiencies. Additionally, a clotting assay that is sensitive to deficiencies of vitamin-K dependent factors (PIVKA assay) can also be performed, but has largely fallen out of favor. Also the dilute Russell’s viper venom time (d RVVT) can be used to evaluate clot formation with the common pathway but is not done routinely. Laboratories offer different screening assays, but most hemostasis or coagulation profiles consist of the PT and APTT at the minimum, which are interpreted together based on the classic cascade model of secondary hemostasis. The combination of results from coagulation screening tests (PT, APTT and fibrinogen) can be used to determine the defect is in coagulation factors, as shown in the image and table below. It is important to note that not all laboratories are created equal with respect to coagulation testing. Some laboratories, such as the Comparative Coagulation Laboratory at Cornell University, optimize testing to be sensitive to coagulation factor deficiencies. This may involve dilution of a specific reagent, evaluating which method of clot detection is optimal for a given species, or using different clot activators or reagents to measure clotting times."

"text": "\"Synergism CLOSE ALLWhat is meant by the term \"\"synergism\"\"? Synergism comes from the Greek word \"\"synergos\"\" meaning working together. It refers to the interaction between two or more \"\"things\"\" when the combined effect is greater than if you added the \"\"things\"\" on their own (a type of \"\"when is one plus one is greater than two\"\" effect). In toxicology, synergism refers to the effect caused when exposure to two or more chemicals at as time results in health effects that are greater than the sum of the effects of the individual chemicals. When chemicals are synergistic, the potential hazards of the chemicals should be re-evaluated, taking their synergistic properties into consideration. What are related terms? In addition to synergism, other terms are used to define the toxicologic interactions. Additive Effect - This action occurs when the combined effect of two or more chemicals is equal to the sum of the effect of each agents given alone (they do not interact in a direct way); for example:2 + 2 = 4This effect is the most common when two chemicals are given together. Potentiation - This effect results when one substance that does not normally have a toxic effect is added to another chemical, it makes the second chemical much more toxic; for example:0 + 2 > 2, not just 2Antagonism - Antagonism is the opposite of synergism. It is the situation where the combined effect of two or more compounds is less toxic than the individual effects; for example:4 + 6 < 10Antagonistic effects are the basis of many antidotes for poisonings or for medical treatments."

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

The highest level of the hierarchy of motor control includes the frontal lobe cortex, the primary motor cortex, muscle sensory receptors, and the basal ganglia. B. The highest level of the hierarchy of motor control is composed entirely of areas of cerebral cortex, and its main purpose is to create a conscious plan to move that depends on the initial position of the parts of the body in space. C. Neurons of the middle level of the hierarchy integrate afferent information with signals from higher center command neurons to create a motor program--a pattern of neural activity required to properly perform a desired movement. D. The local level of the motor control hierarchy includes the premotor and primary motor regions of the cerebral cortex, as well as the alpha motor neurons and muscle fibers themselves. E. Reflexes that include local-level receptors and muscle fibers cannot occur without input from the higher centers of the motor control hierarchy. c2."

"text": "\"Go to the previous, next chapter. Types of Stretching How to Stretch: (next chapter)Flexibility: (previous chapter)Just as there are different types of flexibility, there are also different types of stretching. Stretches are either dynamic (meaning they involve motion) or static (meaning they involve no motion). Dynamic stretches affect dynamic flexibility and static stretches affect static flexibility (and dynamic flexibility to some degree). The different types of stretching are:ballistic stretchingdynamic stretchingactive stretchingpassive (or relaxed) stretchingstatic stretchingisometric stretching PNF stretching Ballistic Stretching Dynamic Stretching Active Stretching Passive Stretching Static Stretching Isometric Stretching PNF Stretching Ballistic Stretching Dynamic Stretching: (next section)Types of Stretching: (beginning of chapter)Ballistic stretching uses the momentum of a moving body or a limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion. This is stretching, or \"\"warming up\"\", by bouncing into (or out of) a stretched position, using the stretched muscles as a spring which pulls you out of the stretched position. ( e.g. bouncing down repeatedly to touch your toes.) This type of stretching is not considered useful and can lead to injury. It does not allow your muscles to adjust to, and relax in, the stretched position. It may instead cause them to tighten up by repeatedly activating the stretch reflex (see section The Stretch Reflex )."

"text": "\"Intro | ANS Nerve | The Heart | Acetylcholine | Catecholamines | Autonomic Receptors Autonomic Receptors Autonomic receptors are broadly divided into those for ACh (cholinergic receptors) and those for catecholamines such as NE or EPI (adrenergic receptors or adrenoceptors). As we shall see later, subdivisions of each of these families of receptors are based on sensitivity to various agonist and antagonist drugs. Cholinergic receptors were originally divided and named on the basis of sensitivity to alkaloids that mimicked some, but not all, of the actions of ACh. These alkaloids are present in the fly agaric mushroom, Amanita muscaria, and in the tobacco plant, Nicotiana tabacum. The alkaloids are muscarine and nicotine, respectively. Thus, cholinergic receptors are broadly classified as muscarinic (m ACh R) or nicotinic (n ACh R). The 3-dimensional structures of muscarine and nicotine molecules are fairly rigid and differ significantly. By contrast, ACh can assume 3-dimensional structures that are similar to muscarine on the one hand and nicotine on the other hand. Thus, one neurotransmitter molecule can interact with quite different receptor proteins, based on its molecular flexibility. Nicotinic receptors are located postsynaptically in all autonomic ganglia and at the NMJ."

"text": "Related Articles Difference Between Stretching & Flexing a Muscle Restless Finger Syndrome Muscle Anatomy of the Lower Back Major Components of the Muscular System What Are the Functions of the Biceps? Which Muscles Does the One-Arm Dumbbell Press Work? You often hear muscles referred to as having antagonists or being grouped in antagonistic pairs. If a muscle has an antagonist, it has another muscle or group of muscles that work to undo the motions the muscle causes. While this may sound counterproductive, antagonistic muscles are actually essential to most of the movements that the body makes. Without antagonists you would be unable to recover from bending your knee or performing other basic motions. Antagonistic Muscles Muscles have two states, contracted and relaxed; when the fibers within a muscle contract then the muscle pulls, and when the fibers relax the muscle no longer pulls. Since muscles are only able to pull and cannot push in the opposite direction, the movements caused by muscle contraction can only be countered by contractions of another muscle. Antagonistic muscles fill this role, contracting to pull the bones or other tissue that the original muscle moved back into its original position. Muscle Groups Muscles often do not work alone when moving bones and other tissues in the body."

Clarifying and standardizing nomenclature It is imperative to have an operational understanding of medical conditions by standardizing nomenclature when possible. Myogenic dysfunction has been poorly defined due to the numerous names for the same conditions. While most of the medical community still refers to Myofascial Pain Syndromes by various names, which usually refer to the area or structure that was affected, we prefer to use Myofascial Pain Syndrome instead of Myofasciitis or Myositis. Unfortunately, there appears to be a revising of nomenclature in definition from the first edition to the second edition of Travell & Simons' Trigger Point Manuals. Therefore, we will present you with versions from each in an attempt to clarify. Compare and contrast trigger point glossary of terms VOLUME 1 FIRST EDITION MYOFASCIAL PAIN AND DYSFUNCTION THE TRIGGER POINT MANUAL By: Janet G. Travell, M. D. David G. Simons, M. D. VOLUME 1 SECOND EDITION MYOFASCIAL PAIN AND DYSFUNCTION THE TRIGGER POINT MANUAL By: David G. Simons, M. D. Janet G. Travell, M. D. Lois S. Simons, P. T. TRIGGER POINT: A focus of hyperirritability in tissue that, when compressed, is locally tender and, if sufficiently hypersensitive, gives rise to referred pain and tenderness, and sometimes to referred autonomic phenomena and distortion of proprioception. Types include myofascial, cutaneous, fascial, ligamentous and periosteal trigger points. TRIGGER POINT: See Myofascial Trigger Point MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINT : A hyperirritable spot, usually within a taut band of skeletal muscle or in the muscle's fascia that is painful on compression and that can give rise to characteristic referred pain, tenderness, and autonomic phenomena. A myofascial trigger point is to be distinguished from cutaneous, ligamentous, periosteal and non- muscular fascial trigger points."

Scanning speech Others Titubation (nodding or side-to-side shaking of head)Hypotonia (floppy limbs) and depressed or pendular lesions Table 2: Gait patterns Gaitpattern Characteristics Apropulsivegait Typical of someone who pronates excessively during the stance phase of gait Characteristically inefficient gait pattern; subject does not achieve supination at toe off Antalgicgait Typical of the elderly Characteristically shows loss of gait fluidity and ease of movement, due to foot pain,generalized pain and disability Ataxic gait Typical of someone with cerebellar pathology Characteristically an uncoordinated gait pattern Shows dyssynergy (loss of smoothly coordinated voluntary movements), dysrhythmia (abnormal timing and coupling of movements), dysmetria (the inability to gaugedistance, speed, strength and velocity of movements)This results in a wide-based gait with a slow, jerky and irregular cadence, variability of stride length and foot placement from step to step, numerous postural adjustmentsand easy loss of balance Bouncinggait Typical of someone with ankle equinus Characteristically shows early heel off (lift) due to soft-tissue contracture of Achillestendon and gastrocnemius complex, shortened stride length, external hip rotation,extended knee extension throughout the stance phase, abductory twist of heel andforefoot, excessive pronation, elongated propulsive phase, forefoot subluxation andmedial column collapse Childhoodgait Typical of a child aged 2-6 years Characteristically shows developmental knock knee, abdomen less prominent thanthe toddler gait; foot type approaches the adult form with a more evident mediallongitudinal arch Festinant or shufflinggait Typical of someone with Parkinson's disease Characteristically shows difficulty in initiating gait; rapid, short, shuffling steps oncemobile, with loss of arm swing, stooped stance, propulsion and retropulsion Halluxlimitus gait Typical of someone with functional or actual reduced dorsiflexion at the firstmetatarsophalangeal joint Characteristically shows reduced heel lift, obligatory pronation about the longitudinalaxis of the metatarsal joint, leading to abductory twist and increased abducted angle of gait, internal tibial torsion, internal rotation and increased transverse plane motion at knee, internal hip rotation, forward pelvic tilt and increased lumbar lordosis, thoracickyphosis and a forward tilt of the cervical spine High-steppagegait Typical of someone with foot drop and/or distal sensory neuropathy Characteristically shows increased hip and knee flexion during the swing phase of gait in order for the foot, which is plantarflexed at the ankle, to clear the ground Normal gait See Table 3 and Table 4Rheumatoidgait Typical of someone with rheumatoid disease Characteristically shows an antalgic pattern with reduced gait velocity due to shortened stride length and reduced cadence, with an increased double-support phaseand reluctance to load the forefoot and altered velocity of the centre of pressure profile Scissorsgait Typical of someone with cerebral palsy Characteristically shows spasticity of hip flexors and adductors, with hyperreflexia andclonus, internal hip rotation, contraction of the knee flexors leading to toe walking andcavovarus foot deformity Toddler gait Typical of a 12-15-month-old child who has just begun to walk Characteristically shows a broad-based gait, with apparent flat foot and bow legs,partially flexed knees, lordosis and bulging of the abdomen, forward tilt of the body,arms extended sideways at the shoulders and/or the arms lifted up Table 3: The gait (walking) cycle Phase of thecycle Period Comment Stance phase (60%)Contact From heel strike to foot flat Foot unlocks to act as a shock absorber and adapt to irregularities in the ground surface Midstance From foot flat to heel lift The total weight-bearing surface of the foot is in contact with thewalking surface Propulsion From heel lift to toe off Foot is a rigid and stable lever Swing phase (40%)From toe off limb 1 to heel strike (limb 1) Body mass transfers from limb 1 to limb 2Table 4: Foot events occurring during normal bipedal gait Stance phase Events/movements occurring Leg 1Heel strike (HS) Leg 1 STJ slightly supinated, so that: • Posterior lateral area of the 'plantar heel pad' contacts the groundsurface • Forefoot is inverted relative to the ground surface MTJ is also supinated, so that: • Tibialis anterior tendon is contracted and prominent • Limb decelerates Hallux slightly dorsiflexed due to contraction of EHLLeg 2 Knee of supporting leg is flexed Heel off on supporting leg From heel strike (HS) to foot flat (FF)Leg 1 STJ begins to pronate due to: • Internal rotations within the lower limb • Friction between the ground surface and the heel MTJ also begins to pronate as: • Tibialis anterior relaxes • Ground reaction forces act on the fifth and fourth metatarsals The plantar heel pad becomes weight-bearing The lateral area, then the whole forefoot, loads rapidly The hallux ceases to dorsiflex as soon as forefoot loading occurs Once forefoot loading in leg 1 is completed (and leg 2 has undergone toeoff) the STJ should pronate no further Leg 2 Foot moving through propulsion phase, so that leg 1 loads fully as leg 2 undergoes toe off From foot flat (FF) to midstance (MS)Leg 1 The leg and pelvis undergo external rotation • STJ supinates The knee is extended • A bisecting line through the knee exits through the middle of the secondmetatarsal • Leg 2 begins its swing phase Midstance occurs when the leg is perpendicular to the ground • The leg is directly over the foot • STJ is neutral • Tibialis anterior is relaxed • Weight is evenly distributed across the heel pad • MTJ is fully pronated • Toes are flat to the ground surface, with no plantarflexion of the digits • Leg 2 is in the middle of the swing phase and passes leg 1Midstance (MS) to toeoff (TO)Leg 1 As the body weight moves anteriorly over the foot, simultaneously: • The knee flexes rapidly • Gastrocnemius fires to bring about heel lift (just prior to heel contact of leg 2) • Body weight transfers to the forefoot The foot is supinating (due to the pull of gastrocnemius) • There is no movement of the STJ, only movement at the MTJ • MTJ locks to convert the foot to a rigid lever Propulsion begins • Body weight is distributed across the metatarsal heads • First MTPJ is dorsiflexed but both first and fifth rays are parallel to thesupport surface Propulsion continues • The body weight continues to moves further forward • First metatarsal plantarflexes and plantar aspect of first MTPJ becomesprominent • Remainder of the foot supinates relative to the first ray and the height of the MLA increases • Peroneus longus fires to stabilize the first ray (peroneus longus tendonbecomes prominent) • Body weight transfers from the lateral to the medial side of the foot • Lateral aspect of the forefoot lifts (assists transference of body weight to leg 2) • STJ supination reduces as foot begins to unload Swing phase Events/movements occurring Leg 1Early swing Plantar aspect of first MTPJ still prominent Toes dorsiflexed at MTPJs to allow ground clearance during swing Midswing Plantar aspect of first MTPJ no longer prominent Late swing STJ and MTJ supinated due to contraction of tibialis anterior, EHL and EDL muscles STJ, subtalar joint; MTJ, metatarsal joint; EHL, extensor hallucis longus; MTPJ,metatarsophalangeal joint; MLA, medial longitudinal arch; EDL, extensor digitorum

"text": "An abnormal gait is an abnormality in the way a person walks or runs. It is a common symptom of illnesses and disorders that affect the nervous system, muscles, or bones. It can also be the result of injuries or congenital deformities in the feet, legs, or hips. In severe cases, an abnormal gait can significantly impair a person's mobility or put him or her at greater risk of injury due to falls. Gaits vary according to factors such as the speed and rhythm of a person's steps; how a person's legs and feet bend as he or she moves; and how his or her feet hit the ground with each step, called a foot strike. Gait also encompasses how parts of the the upper body, such the arms, shoulders, and chest, move in sync with the legs as a person walks. What constitutes a normal gait is not the same for every person and varies according to factors such as height, age, and sex. Abnormal gaits can take many different forms according to their causes. Gait abnormalities caused by pain often result in an antalgic gait. In an antalgic gait, a person spends less time than normal in what is called the stance phase, the point between steps when both feet are on the ground."

It is simple yet informative and can give important insights into the integrity of the nervous system at many different levels. Physiology of Reflexes Assessment of reflexes is based on a clear understanding of the following principles and relationships: Tendons connect muscles to bones, usually crossing a joint. When the muscle contracts, the tendon pulls on the bone, causing the attached structure to move. When the tendon is struck by the reflex hammer, stretch receptors contained within it generate an impulse that is carried via sensory nerves to the spinal cord. At this juncture, the message is transmitted across a synapse to an appropriate lower motor neuron. An upper motor neuron, whose cell body resides in the brain, also provides input to this synapse."

"text": "What Is the Normal Range of Motion of the Knee?by BRIANNE GROGAN Aug. 14, 2017Your knee joint supports your body weight, absorbs shock and functions to straighten or bend your lower leg. Unrestricted movement at the knee joint is critical for pain-free walking, squatting and transferring. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Normal Motion Range of motion is typically measured using a tool called a goniometer. Normal ROM at the knee is considered to be 0 degrees of extension (completely straight knee joint) to 135 degrees of flexion (fully bent knee joint). Functional Motion Most functional activities require 0 to 117 degrees of motion at the knee. Walking requires complete knee extension at heel strike and up to 60 degrees of flexion at the initiation of swing phase. Impairments Common causes of decreased ROM include arthritis, knee surgery and knee injuries. Antalgic gait might be noted, as well as difficulty transferring from sit to stand. Call your doctor if you are unable to bear weight on your knee, notice marked swelling or have a fever along with ROM impairments. Prevention Maintaining strength and flexibility in the muscles that control knee motion is crucial."

Goal 2The second goal of walking is to use the least amount of energy possible to achieve the first goal. The body does this by moving in as straight a line as possible while moving forward. During walking, the most energy efficient movement is one in which the body moves up and down very little. Goal 3The third goal is to cause the least amount of pain for people with painful foot conditions. Our brains have a variety of strategies for achieving this goal, including putting less pressure on a painful foot, or alternating the foot's position when we walk to limit discomfort. Goal 4The fourth goal for walking is for the foot itself to act as a shock absorber for dispersing the force of the body as it lands. Goal 5The fifth goal is for the foot to form a rigid lever toward the end of the phase of gait where the foot is on the ground, in order to provide a way to propel the body forward. The Phases of Walking One way to think about the phases of walking is to think of what happens to each foot when we walk. In this situation, there are two phases: Stance phase and Swing phase (Figure 1)."

This may be due to meningitis ( inflammation of the meninges), or subarachnoid haemorrhage. Meningism involves the triad (3-symptom syndrome) of nuchal rigidity ( neck stiffness ), photophobia (intolerance of bright light), and headache. It requires differentiating from other problems with similar symptoms, including Parkinson's Disease and Cervical Spondylosis. Related clinical signs include Kernig's sign and three signs all named Brudzinski's sign. Contents [ hide ]1 Signs and symptoms1.1 Nuchal rigidity1.2 Kernig's sign1.3 Brudzinski's signs2 See also3 References4 External links Signs and symptoms [ edit]The main clinical signs that indicate meningism are nuchal rigidity, Kernig's sign and Brudzinski's signs. None of the signs are particularly sensitive; in adults with meningitis, nuchal rigidity was present in 30% and Kernig's or Brudzinski's sign only in 5%. [ 3]Nuchal rigidity [ edit]Nuchal rigidity is the inability to flex the neck forward due to rigidity of the neck muscles; if flexion of the neck is painful but full range of motion is present, nuchal rigidity is absent. [ citation needed]Kernig's sign [ edit]Kernig's sign (after Waldemar Kernig (1840–1917), a Russian neurologist) is positive when the thigh is flexed at the hip and knee at 90 degree angles, and subsequent extension in the knee is painful (leading to resistance).

While many of these disturbances are quite common and correct themselves on their own, some require medical assistance. There is a considerable variation in normal gait patterns and the ages at which the changes occur, and these appear to be family-history related. Black children tend to walk sooner and Asian children later than average. [ 1]Until a child is approximately 3 years old, their normal gait doesn't resemble that of an adult. Initially there is a wide-based stance with rapid cadence and short steps. Toddlers have a broad-based gait for support, and appear to be high-stepped and flat-footed, with arms outstretched for balance. Legs are externally rotated, with a degree of bowing. Heel strike develops at around 15-18 months with reciprocal arm swing. Running and change of direction occur after the age of 2 years."

There are different types of flatfoot deformities such as congenital bone and joint malformations, acquired deformities secondary to faulty biomechanics, traumatic injury, and a weakened muscle imbalance due to diseases. There is a genetic predisposition to the deformity but improper shoe gear and high impact activities over a period of time can be contributing factors. As the deformity progresses, patients will get increased cramping and fatigue in the legs and feet, they will develop an antalgic gait, difficulty with shoe gear, unwillingness to participate in strenuous activities secondary to the pain. It can become a frustrating deformity because as the structural bone changes occur, the body tries to adapt or compensate as a result, and other joints and muscles become affected. This can result in leg, knee, hip and back pain. The flatfoot deformity can manifest itself at an early age. Parents will notice an unusual gait pattern and a flattening of the arch. These changes are usually asymptomatic."

The Antarctic Circle is the most southerly of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. The region south of this circle is known as the Antarctic, and the zone immediately to the north is called the Southern Temperate Zone. South of the Antarctic Circle, the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year (and therefore visible at midnight) and (at least partially) below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year (and therefore not fully visible at noon ); this is also true within the equivalent polar circle in the Northern Hemisphere, the Arctic Circle. The position of the Antarctic Circle is not fixed; as of 10 April 2018, it runs 66°33′47.1″ south of the Equator. [ 1] Its latitude depends on the Earth's axial tilt, which fluctuates within a margin of 2° over a 40,000-year period, due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon. [ 2] Consequently, the Antarctic Circle is currently drifting southwards at a speed of about 15 m (49 ft) per year.

[ 3]Directly on the Antarctic Circle these events occur, in principle, exactly once per year: at the December and June solstices, respectively. However, because of atmospheric refraction and mirages, and because the sun appears as a disk and not a point, part of the midnight sun may be seen on the night of the southern summer solstice up to about 50 minutes (′) (90 km (56 mi)) north of the Antarctic Circle; similarly, on the day of the southern winter solstice, part of the sun may be seen up to about 50′ south of the Antarctic Circle."

"text": "Coldest Places in the Worldby Liz Osborn Current Results.com The Polar Plateau of the Antarctic is unquestionably the coldest place in the world. Dome A, the highest point on the East Antarctic ice sheet and the coldest spot there, has an mean annual temperature of -58.3 degrees Celsius (-72.9 degrees Fahrenheit). High-elevation research stations on the plateau also record average yearly temperatures that are below -55 °C (-67 °F). Along the Antarctic coast, temperatures warm up considerably, with annual means above -20 °C (-4 °F). The rest of the world's coldest places are at the north end of the planet. The second coldest place in the world also sits at the top of a massive ice cap, this time in Greenland. For the coldest places located on exposed dirt, northern Canada and eastern Siberia top the list. Greenland's Coldest Places Like Antarctica's Polar Plateau, Greenland has the exceptionally chilly combination of high elevations rising far from the ocean in the midst of an ice sheet. At the peak of Greenland's ice cap is the highest point that's above the Arctic circle and the coldest place north of the Antarctic. The top, aptly named Summit, rises to 3,208 metres (10,530 feet) and averages -27.5 °C (-17.5 °F)."

While Antarctica's sea ice is growing somewhat, the Arctic and the world's glaciers are disappearing at a record pace.

While Arctic ice is melting at a record pace, a team of NASA-led researchers say they can explain why Antarctic sea ice has been edging in the opposite direction. That paradox has puzzled scientists for years and given climate-change deniers fodder to dispute global warming. The group found that the icy winds blowing off Antarctica, as well as a powerful ocean current that circles the frozen continent, are much larger factors in the formation and persistence of Antarctic sea ice than changes in temperature."

"text": "Antarctica history is relatively short, at least in terms of human activity. Going back some 170 million years, Antarctica was part of a larger landmass, or supercontinent, which is referred to as Gondwana. Over time, this supercontinent broke apart, and the various pieces drifted off in different directions. Antarctica was pulled south by the Earth's magnetic field, and at its core is the South Pole. When it comes to interesting facts about Antarctica, it's worth noting that it was the ancient Greeks who first conjured up the idea of a continent at the South Pole. Historians believe that the ancient Greeks were already aware of the Arctic and that they thought there must be a landmass on the southern end of the planet to balance things out. Visits to the continent by the ancient Greeks aren't part of the history of Antarctica. In fact, nobody had even crossed the Antarctic Circle before James Cook did so in 1773. Captain James Cook, who was a British explorer, led the first recorded expedition into the Antarctic Circle, and while Cook and his men never spotted mainland Antarctica, they did allegedly discover the South Georgia and South Sandwich islands. It was Cook's reports of large seal colonies in the region that really started to spark interest in Antarctica expeditions, and some historians estimate that seal hunters actually discovered many of the regional islands."

Circles on Earth's Sphere Everybody knows where the equator, Arctic Circle, and Antarctic Circle are. The equator swings around Earth's belly. The Arctic Circle swings around the top of Earth, near Santa, and the Antarctic Circle, of course, is closer to the penguins of the South Pole. But what in the world are the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer? This lesson will tell you what they are, where they are, and what their significance is to the tropical zone and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer & Capricorn Let's get right to it then. The Tropic of Cancer is a circle of latitude located approximately 23.5 degrees north of the equator, and the Tropic of Capricorn is a circle of latitude located approximately 23.5 degrees south of the equator. The area of Earth located in between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn is known as the tropics, or tropical (torrid) zone."

It might be outdated or ideologically biased. Polar Daya day lasting more than 24 hours, occurring in polar regions north of the arctic circle and south of the antarctic circle. At points in the northern hemisphere with a geographic latitude ϕ, the sun doesnot drop below the horizon at certain times of the year. This occurs whenever the sun, in itsapparent annual motion along the ecliptic, is located north of the parallel of declination δ = 90° — ϕ. At points on the arctic and antarctic circles, the sun will not set once each year. For the arcticcircle this occurs on the summer solstice (June 21 or 22), when the sun is at maximum northdeclination δΘ= 23°27′; for the antarctic circle this occurs on the winter solstice (December 21 or 22), when the sun is at maximum south declination δΘ= – 23°27′. The length of the polar dayincreases with proximity to the poles, and at the poles themselves it is six months long.

One notable difference is that polar bears live only in the Arctic, and penguins live only in the Antarctic. But what about the differences in sea ice between the two regions? Geography Sea ice differs between the Arctic and Antarctic, primarily because of their different geography. The Arctic is a semi-enclosed ocean, almost completely surrounded by land. As a result, the sea ice that forms in the Arctic is not as mobile as sea ice in the Antarctic. Although sea ice moves around the Arctic basin, it tends to stay in the cold Arctic waters. Floes are more prone to converge, or bump into each other, and pile up into thick ridges. These converging floes makes Arctic ice thicker."

Latitudes and Longitudes are angular measurements that give a location on the earth’s surface a unique geographical identification. Latitudes are the progressive angular measurements north or south of the equator are the imaginary lines running from east to west on the Earth’s surface. While Longitudes are the measurements east or west of the Prime Meridian and run from the north pole to the south pole. Latitudes are parallel while Longitudes are convergent. This positioning method comprises of a coordinate system in degrees (°) with the Equator and Prime Meridian being the lines that denote 0°. With the Equator as the reference point, the North Pole lies at 90°N and the South Pole lies at 90°S. Likewise, the furthest point eastwards from the Prime Meridian is expressed as 180°E and the furthest point westward is expressed as 180°W. Circles of Latitude are imaginary east to west circles that connect all places with the same latitude. The reference plane for all Circles of Latitude is the Equatorial Circle of Latitude that bisects the Earth. All Circles of Latitude are parallel to the Equator and perpendicular to all Longitudes at the intersection points. Parallels get smaller towards the poles than closer to the Equatorial Plane."

This list looks at ten of the most significant differences between two of Earth’s most inhospitable areas. Feel free to mention others in the comments.10Metamorphoses The arctic area is located in the North Pole region and has a natural melting cycle during which almost half of the ice shelf melts away in summer, only to freeze again in winter and come back to its original size. During winter, the arctic ice shelf has a surface almost equal to that of the US. However, an unsettling study has recently revealed that the 3.5 km thick ice shelf from Greenland is melting away so fast that half of it could disappear by the end of the century. Other studies suggest that the whole Arctic region could become iceless during summer, in less than a century. On the other hand, the Antarctic region, or the South Pole, does not show the same regular melting cycle because its ice shelf has almost the same size and shape throughout the twelve months. Recent studies have also shown that the Antarctic region is melting away as well, not because of natural processes, but because of the global warming effects. Should all the ice from the South Pole melt in one day (which won’t happen in the near future), the seas and oceans would rise by 60 meters, specialists say. Interestingly enough, the Arctic region melts faster because it is submerged and the ocean currents accelerate the process, whereas the Antarctic region is made of stony bedrock which is less, or not at all, influenced by such phenomena.9Hole in the Ozone Layer There is a hole in the ozone layer just above the Antarctic region which, now, is almost three times bigger than the US continental surface."

In 2012, it is the parallel of latitude that runs 66° 33′ 44″ north of the Equator. The region north of this circle is known as the Arctic, and the zone just to the south is called the Northern Temperate Zone. The equivalent polar circle in the Southern Hemisphere is called the Antarctic Circle. The Arctic Circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours. North of the Arctic Circle, the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year and below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year. On the Arctic Circle those events occur, in principle, exactly once per year, at the June and December solstices, respectively. It would therefore seem that the Arctic Circle marks the southern extremity of the northern hemisphere polar day and polar night."

The region south of this circle is known as the Antarctic, and the zone immediately to the north is called the Southern Temperate Zone. South of the Antarctic Circle, the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year (and therefore visible at midnight) and (at least partially) below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year (and therefore not fully visible at noon ); this is also true within the equivalent polar circle in the Northern Hemisphere, the Arctic Circle. The position of the Antarctic Circle is not fixed; as of 10 April 2018, it runs 66°33′47.1″ south of the Equator. [ 1] Its latitude depends on the Earth's axial tilt, which fluctuates within a margin of 2° over a 40,000-year period, due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon. [ 2] Consequently, the Antarctic Circle is currently drifting southwards at a speed of about 15 m (49 ft) per year.

[ 3]Directly on the Antarctic Circle these events occur, in principle, exactly once per year: at the December and June solstices, respectively. However, because of atmospheric refraction and mirages, and because the sun appears as a disk and not a point, part of the midnight sun may be seen on the night of the southern summer solstice up to about 50 minutes (′) (90 km (56 mi)) north of the Antarctic Circle; similarly, on the day of the southern winter solstice, part of the sun may be seen up to about 50′ south of the Antarctic Circle."

( DEA/G. CIGOLINI/VENERANDA BIBLIOTECA AMBROSIANA/Getty Images)by Tiffany Means Updated August 02, 2017Think about this: depending on what part of the world you live in, you may experience very different weather and a very different climate than a fellow weather geek who, like you, is reading this article right now. Why We Classify Climate Because weather differs greatly from place to place and time to time, it's unlikely that any two places will experience the same exact weather or climate. Given the many locations there are worldwide, that's quite a lot of different climates—too many to study one by one!To help make this volume of climate data easier for us to handle, we \"\"classify\"\" (group them by similarities) climates. The first attempt at climate classification was made by the ancient Greeks. Aristotle believed that each of the Earth's hemispheres (Northern and Southern) could be divided into 3 zones: the torrid, temperate, and frigid, and that Earth's five circles of latitude (the Arctic Circle (66.5° N), Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S), Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N), equator (0°), and Antarctic Circle (66.5° S)) divided one from another. Because these climate zones are classified based on latitude—a geographic coordinate—they're also known as the geographic zones. The Torrid Zone Because Aristotle believed the regions centered around the equator were too hot to be inhabited, he dubbed them the \"\"torrid\"\" zones. We know them today as the Tropics. Both share the equator as one of their boundaries; in addition, the northern torrid zone extends to the Tropic of Cancer, and the southern, to the Tropic of Capricorn."

The new Southern Ocean completely surrounds Antarctica. The Southern Ocean extends from the coast of Antarctica north to 60 degrees south latitude. The Southern Ocean is now the fourth largest of the world's five oceans (after the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean, but larger than the Arctic Ocean ). Are There Really Five Oceans? For some time, those in geographic circles have debated whether there are four or five oceans on Earth. Some consider the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific to be the world's four oceans. Now, those that side with the number five can add the fifth new ocean and call it the Southern Ocean or the Antarctic Ocean, thanks to the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). The IHO Makes a Decision The IHO, the International Hydrographic Organization, has attempted to settle that debate through a 2000 publication that` declared, named, and demarcated the Southern Ocean. The IHO published the third edition of Limits of Oceans and Seas (S-23), the global authority on the names and locations of seas and oceans, in 2000."

Heath Korvola/Getty Imagesby Amanda Briney Updated March 17, 2017Latitude is the angular distance of any point on Earth measured north or south of the equator in degrees, minutes and seconds. The equator is a line going around Earth and is halfway between the North and South Poles, it is given a latitude of 0°. Values increase north of the equator and are considered positive and values south of the equator decrease and are sometimes considered negative or have south attached to them. For example, if a latitude of 30°N was given, this would mean that it was north of the equator. The latitude -30° or 30°S is a location south of the equator. On a map, these are the lines running horizontally from east-west. Latitude lines are also sometimes called parallels because they are parallel and equidistant from each other. Each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (111 km) apart. The degree measure of latitude is the name of the angle from the equator while the parallel names the actual line along which degree points are measured."

It begins at the equator at 0° and continues south into higher latitudes until it reaches 90°S or the South Pole in the middle of Antarctica. The word hemisphere itself specifically means half of a sphere, and because the earth is spherical (although it is considered an oblate sphere) a hemisphere is half. Geography and Climate of the Southern Hemisphere In comparison to the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere has fewer land masses and more water. The South Pacific, South Atlantic, Indian Oceans and various seas such as the Tasman Sea between Australia and New Zealand and the Weddell Sea near Antarctica make up around 80.9% of the Southern Hemisphere. The land comprises only 19.1%. In the Northern Hemisphere, the majority of the area is composed of land masses instead of water. The continents making up the Southern Hemisphere include all of Antarctica, around 1/3 of Africa, most of South America and nearly all of Australia. Because of the large presence of water in the Southern Hemisphere, the climate in the Earth's southern half is milder overall than the Northern Hemisphere."

It is the southernmost point on Earth where the sun's rays can be directly overhead at local noon. It is also one of the five major circles of latitude dividing the Earth (the others are the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere, the equator, the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle). Geography of the Tropic of Capricorn The Tropic of Capricorn is significant to understanding the Earth's geography because it marks the southern boundary of tropics. This is the region that extends from the equator south to the Tropic of Capricorn and north to the Tropic of Cancer. Unlike the Tropic of Cancer, which passes through many areas of land in the northern hemisphere, the Tropic of Capricorn passes mainly through water because there is less land for it to cross in the southern hemisphere. However, it does cross through or is near places like Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Madagascar, and Australia. Naming of the Tropic of Capricorn Around 2,000 years ago, the sun crossed into the constellation of Capricorn at the winter solstice around December 21. This resulted in this line of latitude being named the Tropic of Capricorn. The name Capricorn itself comes from the Latin word caper, meaning goat and was the name given to the constellation."

Latitude is an angular measurement in degrees (marked with °) ranging from 0° at the Equator to 90° at the poles (90° N for the North Pole or 90° S for the South Pole ). Degrees of latitude are parallel so the distance between each degree remains almost constant. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart.

[ 1] The opposite phenomenon, the polar day, or midnight sun, occurs when the Sun stays above the horizon for more than 24 hours. \"\" Night\"\" is understood as the center of the Sun being below a free horizon. Since the atmosphere bends the rays of the Sun, the polar day is longer than the polar night, and the area that is affected by polar night is somewhat smaller than the area of midnight sun. The polar circle is located at a latitude between these two areas, at the latitude of approximately 66.5 degrees.

This is used as one of the two coordinates for a location on earth. In the physical sense, it gives the north-south position of the location considered. The line at which the latitude is constant runs parallel to the equator around the globe. Taken together with longitude, latitude can be used to specifically locate a position on earth. The equator is considered as the zero latitude (i.e. 0° ). The North Pole has the latitude +90° and the South Pole has -90°. There are specially defined latitudes, such as Arctic circle and Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere and Antarctic circle and Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere."

If you have a pronoun in a sentence, you'll also need to have an antecedent. In this lesson, find out what an antecedent is as well as some of the basic rules for avoiding vague pronoun references and for making sure that you have pronoun-antecedent agreement. Antecedents The astronaut could not remember where he parked. Can you spot the pronoun in this sentence? You may remember learning that a pronoun is a word that takes the place of or refers to a noun. A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Pronouns basically help us avoid saying the same nouns over and over. In our example sentence, the word 'he' is a pronoun that takes the place of the noun 'astronaut'."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In grammar, an antecedent is an expression (word, phrase, clause, sentence, etc.) that gives its meaning to a proform (pronoun, pro-verb, pro-adverb, etc.). [ 1] A proform takes its meaning from its antecedent, e.g. \"\"Ava arrived late because traffic held her up\"\". The pronoun her refers to and takes its meaning from Ava, so Ava is the antecedent of her. Proforms usually follow their antecedents, but sometimes they precede them, in which case one is, technically, dealing with post cedents instead of antecedents. The prefix ante- means \"\"before\"\" or \"\"in front of\"\", and post- means \"\"after\"\" or \"\"behind\"\". The term antecedent stems from traditional grammar.

Which has an anaphoric relationship to its antecedent \"\"house\"\" in the main clause. In linking a subordinate clause and a main clause, a relative pronoun functions similarly to a subordinating conjunction. Unlike a conjunction, however, a relative pronoun does not simply mark the subordinate (relative) clause, but also plays the role of a noun within that clause. For example, in the relative clause \"\"which Jack built\"\" given above, the pronoun \"\"which\"\" functions as the object of the verb \"\"built\"\". Compare this with \"\"Jack built the house after he married,\"\" where the conjunction after marks the subordinate clause after he married, but does not play the role of any noun within that clause.

The basic relative pronouns are who, which, and that; who also has the derived forms whom and whose. Various grammatical rules and style guides determine which relative pronouns may be suitable in various situations, especially for formal settings. In some cases the relative pronoun may be omitted and merely implied (\"\"This is the man [that] I saw\"\", or \"\"This is the putter he wins with\"\").

The pronouns “me,” “him,” “her,” “you,” “us,” “them,” and “it” must be in the object position, as in “The batter hit the ball to me. ”Other pronouns you might encounter are possessive pronouns such as “mine” and “hers” and indefinite pronouns such as “anyone” and “somebody.” You’ll run into even more kinds of pronouns, but we don’t have time to list them exhaustively here."

"text": "Pronouns: Personal Pronouns Download version Overview: Personal pronouns take the place of nouns that refer to people, places, and things. Pronoun usage is one of the top ten problems beginning college writers struggle with because they primarily use the pronouns I, you, and they as the subjects of their sentences in normal conversation. However, in written texts, the overuse of pronouns without combining them with the nouns they refer back to causes vague sentences and students’ written ideas to become unclear. This handout is designed to help you understand that the primary function of the pronoun as a part of speech is to help in avoiding the overuse of nouns, not to replace nouns altogether. General Rules for Pronoun Usage The noun that a pronoun refers back to, or replaces, is called an antecedent . A noun is a person, place, or a thing and, most often, the subject or object of your sentences. Jane wrote the essay. In the example above, Jane is the subject of the sentence and the essay is the object of the sentence. Look at the sentence below. Notice that Jane is replaced with the appropriate pronoun, she."

In this final chapter, we continue to focus on the evaluation of reasoning by studying good and bad deductive reasoning in terms of their structure. Chapter Six told us that if the premises of a deductive argument are true and the argument is valid (breaks no rules), the conclusion must be true regardless of the content of the argument. When a deductive argument’s form or structure violates the rules of good reasoning they are invalid and commit what are termed formal fallacies. Something is amiss with their form or structure. Critical thinkers avoid invalid arguments. In this chapter our task is to identify and distinguish some valid and invalid forms of deductive reasoning. Argument Forms As you learned from the diagrams of Chapter Six, arguments come in many forms. Many of these forms can be traced back to combinations of a few fundamental forms.

Red flags include lack of eye contact, lack of responsiveness when name is called, limited or no attempts to engage others to satisfy wants and needs. ASD includes PDD-NOS, Autism and Aperger's Syndrome. Baseline - refers to the pre-treatment phases prior to implementation of an intervention. In baseline, instructors should not prompt or consequate a behavior (i.e. do not reinforce or provide correction). The purpose of a baseline is to establish present rates of responding. Once a steady state has been obtained, it is appropriate to implement an intervention. Changes (or lack thereof) in the rate of behavior suggest to practitioners whether to remove or continue with a treatment method."

Adenomyosis can cause menstrual cramps, lower abdominal pressure, and bloating before menstrual periods and can result in heavy periods. The condition can be located throughout the entire uterus or localized in one spot. Though adenomyosis is considered a benign (not life-threatening) condition, the frequent pain and heavy bleeding associated with it can have a negative impact on a woman's quality of life."

Definition of the Placenta The placenta is a flattened circular organ in the uterus of pregnant mammals that nourishes and maintains the fetus through the umbilical cord. This cord is the main link from the fetus to the placenta. Through it, the placenta provides oxygen and nutrients to the growing baby and removes waste products.

Find out how to get pregnant with a tilted uterus. The normal position of the uterus is a straight up and down position. Sometimes, though, the uterus is tilted backwards a little bit towards the back of the pelvis. Sometimes it is just a thing that happens during maturation, where the uterus does not move into its proper position. Sometimes it is caused by previous childbirth or a condition such as endometriosis. Most of the time, a woman will not even know that she has a tipped uterus, but sometimes there are a few symptoms such as pain during periods or intercourse, urinary tract problems, or fertility problems.

But did you know that not everyone’s uterus is in the same position? Some natural variations are harmless, but others can be uncomfortable and even lead to trouble getting pregnant. Let’s clear up the facts on what having a retroverted uterus means for you and your fertility goals. What is a retroverted uterus? The uterus sits in the middle of the pelvis, and in most cases, the top is tilted slightly forwards, towards the bladder. This is called anteverted uterus. However, for some women, it can sit differently. A common malposition is called retroversion. “ Retroverted uterus” means the fundus is tipped backwards, towards the spine."

"text": "Fibroid-like Conditions: Adenomyosis and Endometrial Polyps Adenomyosis Definition, prevalence and causes Adenomyosis is a benign disease of the uterus in which tissues that are usually limited to the endometrium (inner lining of the uterus) are found within the myometrium (the muscular layer of the uterus). Adenomyosis most commonly affects women between the ages of 40 and 50 years and is associated with a past history of childbirth. Approximately 80 percent of women with this disorder have given birth. Adenomyosis is also associated with other uterine disorders. More than 80 percent of women with adenomyosis have another abnormal condition in the uterus; 50 percent of patients have associated fibroids (benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus), approximately 11 percent have endometriosis (endometrial tissue outside of the uterus, most commonly in the ovaries), and seven percent have endometrial polyps (benign outgrowths of endometrial tissue). The symptoms of these associated conditions often make it difficult diagnose adenomyosis. Symptoms and diagnosis A typical uterus with adenomyosis is bloated and enlarged. Symptoms of adenomyosis include abnormal uterine bleeding and pelvic pain. Approximately 60 percent of women with adenomyosis experience abnormal uterine bleeding , and 25 percent experience dysmenorrhea (pelvic pain during menstruation). The diagnosis can be made only by microscopic examination of uterine tissue specimens obtained during surgery."

The uterine cavity, found in the uterus, is a major player in these processes. Let's discuss the structure and functions of the uterine cavity in the female reproductive system. What Is the Uterine Cavity? The phrase 'a bun in the oven' is often used to describe a baby that is developing in a mother's womb. Like cooked bread, it is important that a fetus remains in the uterus of a mother until it is fully developed, or 'done!' While the uterus itself has many functions in the process of fetal development, the space inside of the uterus, known as the uterine cavity, is one of the major structures necessary for the developing child."

The fallopian, or uterine, tubes conduct ova to the uterus, which lies within the lesser or true pelvis. The uterus connects through the cervical canal with the vagina. The vagina opens into the vestibule about which lie the external genitalia, collectively known as the vulva. External genitalia The female external genitalia include the structures placed about the entrance to the vagina and external to the hymen, the membrane across the entrance to the vagina.

Laparoscopic surgeons must adapt to the altered appearance of anatomy due to the effects of pneumoperitoneum, Trendelenburg positioning, and traction from a uterine manipulator. There are inherent limitations of laparoscopy related to the fixed visual axis, loss of depth of field, and magnification. Furthermore, laparoscopes with different angles of view make orientation more challenging. Because a three-dimensional field is projected to video monitors as a two-dimensional image, it is imperative for the endoscopic surgeon to understand that the anatomic structures appearing superior on the monitor are actually anterior and those inferior are posterior. In this chapter, we describe some important anatomic relations that are critical during laparoscopic procedures. SUPERFICIAL INTRAPERITONEAL ANATOMY (LANDMARKS TO RETROPERITONEAL STRUCTURES)Superficial intraperitoneal landmarks within the pelvis alert the operator to key anatomic structures in the retroperitoneal space ( Figure 1.1 A-C ). The umbilicus is located at the level of L3-L4, although the location varies with the patient's weight, the presence of abdominal panniculus, and the position of the patient on the operating table (supine vs. Trendelenburg). The abdominal aorta bifurcates at L4-L5 in 80% of cases. The parietal peritoneum over the anterior abdominal wall is raised at five sites, representing the five umbilical folds."

A woman of reproductive age experiences a monthly cycle or menstruation due to the rise and fall in hormones. Menstrual blood is a composition of blood and tissues that shed in the uterus when pregnancy does not occur. The uterus normally prepares every month for the possibility of pregnancy but however, shed and bleed if pregnancy does not occur. Menstrual blood passes out through the vagina and is commonly called ‘a period’. A normal menstrual cycle occurs every 28 days to 30 days of every month with duration of 2 to 7 days and average blood loss of about 2-8 tablespoons or can be gauged through pads used of about eight or soaked pads a day of no more than 2 days of heavy flow or bleeding. The Menstrual cycle starts when the level of oestrogen rises and falls which usually happens at half way through the cycle to prepare the uterus by growing and thickening the lining of the uterus. During this time, the egg in one of the ovaries will start to mature. Matured eggs or ovum will start to leave the ovary on the 14th day of the 28 day cycle, which is termed as the ovulation period. If the ovum is met and fertilised by a sperm cell during sexual intercourse, it will attach itself to the uterine wall and the pregnancy cycle will start."

A retroverted uterus is when the uterus is tilted back toward the rectum. A retroflexed uterus is when the uterus is flexed backward, kind of like a backbend. “ The most common condition in women over the age of 50 is retroversion combined with retroflexion, in which both the cervix and the uterus swing backward, and the cervix lies on the rectum. At the same time, the small intestine lies on the bladder, pushing it down” (Source 1). Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to correct a retroverted uterus back when my mom had one. She suffered from horrible low back pain when she was pregnant with my little brother due to a retroverted uterus. She also suffered from terrible PMS, and I’m sure it was related to her uterine position. When the uterus is not in the optimal position, it restricts the flow of lymph and blood. Ovarian varicosities can result and lead to a disturbance in the communication between the ovaries and the hypothalamus of the brain, resulting in less than optimal levels of estrogen and/or progesterone."

What are my alternatives?” These are common questions for women struggling with heavy bleeding or fibroids, or one of the other problems that may lead to hysterectomy. Women may feel that surgery is the only choice but in a lot of cases, there are other options. Many women have great success with alternatives to hysterectomy and even when surgery is required, new techniques are often much less invasive than they used to be. It’s likely that you already know women who’ve had hysterectomies — about a third of American women have one by age 60. For some it is a relatively easy experience, but for others the aftermath of surgical menopause is made worse by severe hormonal symptoms and eventual dependence on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Since hysterectomy is considered elective surgery for some women, they are sometimes unprepared for the debilitating after-effects. If you are faced with this decision, you will want to weigh the benefits versus the risks of hysterectomy with your practitioner, in light of your own health history."

"text": "Antelope Valley California Day Trip Things To Do03/25/2015 by Day Trippen Pin Share +1 Tweet22Aptly named after the Pronghorn antelopes that are said to have roamed the desert floor until being eliminated by hunters in the 1880s, Antelope Valley is a unique blend of remote desert landscapes and cutting edge technology. Known as the “ aerospace capital of the world, ” The principal cities in the area are Palmdale and Lancaster in northern Los Angeles County and Rosamond in the southeastern portion of Kern County. It is the most western tip of the Mojave Desert situated between the Tehachapi and the San Gabriel Mountain ranges. The best time to visit is in the fall or spring as summer temperatures can soar well into triple digits. One of the areas unique attractions is the musical road. This “noteworthy” section of road is located between 30th and 40th Streets West on Avenue G in Lancaster. Originally constructed for a Honda car commercial, it was removed after neighbors complained about the noise. But the musical road has returned as the City of Lancaster decided to construct a new road on the less populated stretch of Avenue G. Once again music lovers can enjoy “The William Tell Overture” as they drive down a remote, but a scenic stretch of road on the outskirts of town. Continuing west on Avenue G approximately 12 miles, you will soon arrive at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve. From March through May, these lazy, rolling foothills are painted with the vibrant orange of California’s native flower."

Activities and Facilities Purchase Annual Passes Accessible Features Bloom Status Update As of April 6th, there is a beautiful display of goldfields with a handful of scattered poppies blooming throughout the South Loop Trail, Tehachapi Vista Point and the Poppy Trail North Loop! There are also some fragrant grape soda lupines on the Tehachapi Vista Point and some great smelling popcorn flowers on the Vista Point to the east. We are predicting the peak of the poppy bloom to happen within a week or two, which will be small but lovely. Stay on OFFICIAL TRAILS only. Walking in the poppies crushes all of the wildflowers and may result in a ticket. DO NOT walk where others have already damaged plants or there is only bare dirt; it will compound the damage and leave a scar for years to come. No dogs, bikes on trails, drones, or picking flowers. \"\" Selfies\"\" in the flowers are not allowed in the park. All photos must be taken from the trail."

"text": "\"A military-grade medical tent is used for overflow flu patients outside the emergency room at Loma Linda Medical Center. ( Gina Ferazzi / Los Angeles Times)The death toll from influenza in California rose sharply on Friday, amid a brutal flu season that has spread across the nation. State health officials said that 32 people under 65 died last week of the flu, making it the deadliest week this season so far. In total, 74 people under age 65 have died of the flu since October, compared with 14 at the same time last year. The current flu season is dominated by a strain of Influenza A known as H3N2, which is often a poor match for the influenza vaccine and tends to be deadlier than other strains. National health officials say 2018 is the first year in more than a decade in which the entire country is grappling with high numbers of flu cases at the same time. \"\" California is facing the same problem that most of the U. S. is facing,\"\" state Department of Public Health Director Dr. Karen Smith told reporters this week. \"\" This has been a very early season and a more severe one. \"\" The flu season typically peaks in February, but thousands of people in California started falling very ill in December, causing long wait times in emergency rooms and shortages of flu medications. Officials say it's hard to tell how severe the flu season will end up being. \"\""

"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."

This article provides an overview, and outline of the main wildlife areas or regions, and compact lists of animals focusing on prevalence and distribution in the country rather than on taxonomy. More specialized articles on particular groups are linked from here.

The most widespread in Zambia are those comprising miombo, mopane and Baikiaea woodland savanna, with grasslands (mainly flooded grasslands) and evergreen forest also present. The chief determinant of the distribution of ecoregions and wildlife is climate, see Climate of Zambia for more detail. Animals outside the national parks [ edit]Zambia's \"\"big game\"\" wildlife (including sports fishing) is the foundation of its tourism industry, now one of its biggest employers and foreign-exchange earners; Victoria Falls and cultural events come second and third in importance. However for domestic tourism, this order is reversed, and wildlife is not as important, since the national parks and game viewing tours, through which the great majority of the wildlife is experienced, are priced and marketed to international tourism. In the early part of the 20th century most of Zambia's rural areas supported wildlife at levels similar to that seen in national parks today, and the 'big five' game animals were widespread outside reserves and parks. Of them today, the rhinoceros is almost extinct, the elephant and lion are found almost exclusively in parks, the African buffalo is found in or close to parks."

( February 2008) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A beam of sunlight in Upper Antelope Canyon A slot canyon is a narrow canyon, formed by the wear of water rushing through rock. A slot canyon is significantly deeper than it is wide. Some slot canyons can measure less than 1 metre (3 ft) across at the top but drop more than 30 metres (100 ft) to the floor of the canyon. Many slot canyons are formed in sandstone and limestone rock, although slot canyons in other rock types such as granite and basalt are possible. Even in sandstone and limestone, only a very small number of creeks will form slot canyons due to a combination of the particular characteristics of the rock and regional rainfall.

Major housing tract development and population growth took off beginning in 1983, which has increased the population of Palmdale around 12 times its former size as of 2006. Neighboring Lancaster has increased its population since the early 1980s to around 3 times its former level. Major retail has followed the population influx, centered around Palmdale's Antelope Valley Mall. The Antelope Valley is home to over 475,000, and is expected to reach 1,000,000 people by the year 2020. Whites make up approximately 48% of the population of the Antelope Valley and the majority in most of its cities and towns. Hispanics are the next largest group, followed by African Americans and Asian Americans."

In the 18th century, Spaniards came to this area. They found bears, antelope and geese. They founded the Mission Santa Clara near the river. This mission was moved several times because the river flooded. It is now on the grounds of the University of Santa Clara.

"text": "Visitors hike through dense California poppy blooms in 2008, one of the most recent great wildflower seasons at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. ( Robbin Goddard / Los Angeles Times)Mary Forgione The Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve is greening up right now with California poppy plants. So where are the buds whose blooms will paint the fields orange? Nowhere in sight. “Although we’ve gotten a good amount of rain, it’s not quite up to average yet,” California State Parks interpreter Jean Rhyne says of the Mojave Desert site. Based on conditions and input from a volunteer researcher, Rhyne predicts a moderate California poppy bloom this season. Fans always hope to walk among jaw-dropping orange carpets last seen in 2008 and 2010. Poppy plants at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve are green now. ( California State Parks)The reserve is about 2 inches short of rainfall in a year that Rhyne says “wasn’t the optimal precipitation pattern for poppies.” More rain forecast later this week could help."

Encounters are often recalled with adoration around camp fires after a day in the bush. It is the only indigenous antelope at present enlarging its distribution on own acount. In result of its common presence across more than half of South Africa, it has received little attention from biologists until the study of Allan-Rowlandson in the Andries Vosloo Kudu Reserve in the 1970's.

This article provides an overview, and outline of the main wildlife areas or regions, and compact lists of animals focusing on prevalence and distribution in the country rather than on taxonomy. More specialized articles on particular groups are linked from here.

The most widespread in Zambia are those comprising miombo, mopane and Baikiaea woodland savanna, with grasslands (mainly flooded grasslands) and evergreen forest also present. The chief determinant of the distribution of ecoregions and wildlife is climate, see Climate of Zambia for more detail. Animals outside the national parks [ edit]Zambia's \"\"big game\"\" wildlife (including sports fishing) is the foundation of its tourism industry, now one of its biggest employers and foreign-exchange earners; Victoria Falls and cultural events come second and third in importance. However for domestic tourism, this order is reversed, and wildlife is not as important, since the national parks and game viewing tours, through which the great majority of the wildlife is experienced, are priced and marketed to international tourism. In the early part of the 20th century most of Zambia's rural areas supported wildlife at levels similar to that seen in national parks today, and the 'big five' game animals were widespread outside reserves and parks. Of them today, the rhinoceros is almost extinct, the elephant and lion are found almost exclusively in parks, the African buffalo is found in or close to parks."

The sole member of the genus Aepyceros, it was first described to European audiences by German zoologist Hinrich Lichtenstein in 1812. Two subspecies are recognised—the common impala, and the larger and darker black-faced impala. The impala reaches 70–92 centimetres (28–36 inches) at the shoulder and weighs 40–76 kg (88–168 lb). It features a glossy, reddish brown coat. The male's slender, lyre -shaped horns are 45–92 centimetres (18–36 inches) long. Active mainly during the day, the impala may be gregarious or territorial depending upon the climate and geography."

[ 8] It is located in the southwestern United States, primarily within southeastern California and southern Nevada, and it occupies a total of 47,877 sq mi (124,000 km 2 ). Very small areas also extend into Utah and Arizona. [ 9] Its boundaries are generally noted by the presence of Joshua trees, which are native only to the Mojave Desert and are considered an indicator species, and it is believed to support an additional 1,750 to 2,000 species of plants. [ 10] The central part of the desert is sparsely populated, while its peripheries support large communities such as Las Vegas, San Bernardino, Lancaster, Palmdale, Victorville, and St. George. The Mojave Desert is bordered by the Great Basin Desert to its north [8] and the Sonoran Desert to its south and east. [ 8] Topographical boundaries include the Tehachapi Mountains to the west, and the San Gabriel Mountains and San Bernardino Mountains to the south. The mountain boundaries are distinct because they are outlined by the two largest faults in California – the San Andreas and Garlock faults. The Mojave Desert displays typical basin and range topography. Higher elevations above 2,000 ft (610 m)) in the Mojave are commonly referred to as the High Desert; however, Death Valley is the lowest elevation in North America at 280 ft (85 m) below sea level and is one of the Mojave Desert's more notorious places."

Throughout the 20th century, it was one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States, although growth has slowed since 2000. As of the 2010 U. S. Census, the Los Angeles Metropolitan Statistical Area had a population of nearly 13 million residents. Meanwhile, the larger metropolitan region's population at the 2010 census was estimated to be over 17.8 million residents, and a 2015 estimate reported a population of about 18.7 million. [ 1] Either definition makes it the second largest metropolitan region in the country, behind the New York metropolitan area, as well as one of the largest urban agglomerations in the world. [ 2] [3]The agglomeration of the urbanized Greater Los Angeles area surrounds the urban core of Los Angeles County. The regional term is defined to refer to the more-or-less continuously urbanized area stretching from Ventura County to the southern border of Orange County and from the Pacific Ocean to the Coachella Valley in the Inland Empire. The US Census Bureau defines the Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA Combined Statistical Area as including the entire Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Orange County and the two counties of the Inland Empire. However, this Census definition includes large, sparsely populated and primarily desert swaths of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties that are not part of the urbanized region."

They are known as the anterior cranial fossa, middle cranial fossa and posterior cranial fossa. Each fossa accommodates a different part of the brain. The anterior cranial fossa is the most shallow and superior of the three cranial fossae. It lies superiorly over the nasal and orbital cavities. The fossa accommodates the anteroinferior portions of the frontal lobes of the brain. In this article, we shall look at the borders, contents and clinical correlations of the anterior cranial fossa. Borders The anterior cranial fossa consists of three bones: the frontal bone, ethmoid bone and sphenoid bone. It is bounded as follows: Anteriorly and laterally it is bounded by the inner surface of the frontal bone. Posteriorly and medially it is bounded by the limbus of the sphenoid bone."

"text": "Contents [ show]The skull is a bony structure that supports the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain. It is comprised of many bones, formed by intramembranous ossification, which are joined together by sutures (fibrous joints). These joints fuse together in adulthood, thus permitting brain growth during adolescence. The bones of the skull can be divided into two groups: those of the cranium (which can be subdivided the skullcap known as the calvarium, and the cranial base) and those of the face. The Cranium The cranium (also known as the neurocranium), is formed by the superior aspect of the skull. It encloses and protects the brain, meninges and cerebral vasculature. Anatomically, the cranium can be subdivided into a roof (known as the calvarium), and a base: Calvarium: Comprised of the frontal, occipital and two parietal bones. Cranial base: Comprised of six bones – the frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, occipital, parietal and temporal bones. These bones are important as they provide an articulation point for the 1st cervical vertebra (atlas), as well as the facial bones and the mandible (jaw bone).

"text": "\"CSF Rhinorrhea CSF rhinorrhea is the drainage of the fluid which surrounds the brain into the nose ( CSF =cerebral spinal fluid + rhinorrhea = fluid draining from the nose). The choroid plexus of lateral ventricles of the brain produces approximately 800mililiters of cerebral spinal fluid daily. This clear fluid leaves the brain through the third ventricle to the fourth ventricle, and then into the subarachnoid space that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The CSF is absorbed by a highly specialized finger-like extension of the arachnoidnoidal membrane surrounding the brain, known as the arachnoid villi. This so called \"\"brain fluid\"\" has the important functions of cushioning the brain, maintaining pressure within the eye, and cleansing the central nervous system much like the lymphatic system serves the same function in the rest of the body. A breach in dura (the periosteal or nutrient membrane lining the inside of the skull) over or adjacent to the nose, sinuses or ear can provide a pathway for CSF to drain from the subarachnoid space into the nose. In such cases, an individual may first become aware of this serious event by the drainage of clear fluid from the nose or the perception of a salty fluid draining from the nose into the throat. CSF rhinorrhea can be the result of trauma to head, nasal or ear surgery or occur spontaneously. Patients may have CSF rhinorrhea for years without having any undo consequences. Others may develop bacterial meningitis within days of the onset of the rhinorrhea because in both situations an open communication exists between the brain cavity and the non-sterile nose."

The sulcus does not lodge the optic chiasma, which lies above and behind it. The optic foramen is placed between the two roots of the lesser wing and is bounded medially by the body of the sphenoid. It is directed forwards, laterally and somewhat downwards and transmits the optic nerve and the ophthalmic artery.

As the maxilla is deemed part of the midface and the mandible part of the lower face respectively, it is logical to assume that they have separate neurovasculature. While it is true that within the alveolar bone the maxillary and mandibular nerves and vessels mirror one another, there are anatomical differences with extra branches and adjacent structures, such as the mental foramen of the mandible or the greater palatine foramen of the hard palate. This article will highlight the main neurovasculature that supplies both the maxilla and the mandible, including the venous drainage of the teeth and will finish by explaining the pathological implications when a tooth undergoes trauma and this supply is cut off. Recommended video: Superficial blood vessels of the head Superficial arteries and veins of the head and scalp. Innervation of the Maxillary Teeth Maxillary nerve The maxillary nerve, which is the second division of the trigeminal nerve (CN V/II) carries sensory fibers to the teeth. It runs laterally to the cavernous sinus and exits the skull via the foramen rotundum in the middle cranial fossa, leading into the pterygopalatine fossa. Here it divides into four major branches including the infraorbital nerve, which is the main continuation of the maxillary nerve and forms a plexus with the posterior superior alveolar nerve by bifurcating further into the anterior superior alveolar nerve and the middle superior alveolar nerve. The other branches of the maxillary nerve are the ganglionic branches, the posterior superior alveolar nerve and the zygomatic nerve. Before we continue to the branches that directly innervate the teeth, a few words must be said about the infraorbital nerve."

"text": "Keywords: Anthropoidea; Haplorhini; homology; postorbital septum; tarsiiforms; ocular hypertrophy; Tarsius Abstract Among primates, partial or complete posterior closure of the orbit has been widely accepted as a shared derived characteristic justifying an exclusive tarsier-anthropoid clade, while some regard the tarsier lateral orbit as an elaborated postorbital bar (POB). To test these competing hypotheses while minimizing the confounding effect of tarsier orbital hypertrophy, we compared tarsiers and other primates at early (fetal and newborn) ages using dissection, micro-CT scans and soft tissue histology. Our findings demonstrate unanticipated variation in the anatomy and development of the zygomaticofrontal (ZFA) articulation, which forms the orbit's lateral framework. Tarsiers uniquely exhibit a combination of two features: absence of a pre- and peri-natal frontal spur to join with the zygomatic to form the ZFA; and, the spur's substitution by an elaborate ligament, which envelops the eye laterally as an expansive postorbital membrane (POM) that merges with the anterolateral fontanelle of the lateral cranial vault. In lacking a frontal spur, tarsiers are distinct from strepsirhines, while the ligamentous structure of the POM distinguishes its ZFA from that of anthropoids, which is a typical facial suture at and prior to birth. The POM of tarsiers may be thought of as an accessory fontanelle, a structural compromise that provides flexible stability and spatial separation of bones while anticipating rapid postnatal growth of an enormously enlarged eye. We regard the tarsier POM as part of a neomorphic eyeball hypertrophy complex, and reject the hypothesis of derived homology of the postorbital septa of adult tarsiers and anthropoids on histological, developmental and functional grounds. Anat Rec, 296:365–377, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The orbit of adult primates is well supported laterally by the articulation of the frontal and zygomatic bones. In extant strepsirhines (lemurs, lorises, and allies) and Paleogene euprimates (adapiforms, fossil tarsiiforms, and primates of modern aspect), each of these bones projects toward one another with orbital processes, forming a postorbital bar (POB)."

Ventricles are CSF filled cavities (the things in blue) situated deep inside the brain. The two lateral ventricles have anterior, posterior and inferior horns. The interventricular foramen connects the lateral ventricles and the third ventricle. The cerebral aqueduct connects the third and fourth ventricles together. The fourth ventricle has a few holes called apertures, named by their relative positions, such as the lateral aperture and median aperture. The two lateral apertures provide a conduit for cerebrospinal fluid to flow from the brain’s ventricular system into the subarachnoid space. The flow of the CSF can be seen in this article. Let’s start with the most caudal part of the brain – The Brain Stem The brain stem is the most primitive part of the brain and is responsible for all automatic behavior (breathing, heart rate/force, blood pressure, hiccup/sneeze/cough/swallow). This is what connects the cerebrum and the spinal cord together and it’s heavily involved with the cranial nerves that innervate the face and neck."

These are of course, anterior assuming the arm is in the anatomical position. In general, these are the flexors of the wrist and fingers and pronate the forearm. There is a superficial layer and a deep layer of muscles. Most of these originate from or near the medial epicondyle of the humerus. Remember the medial one is the larger condyle of the humerus. Most of the distal tendons are held in place at the wrist by the flexor retinaculum which forms the carpal tunnel. Special mention to the following muscles: Pronator teres: Pronator teres pronates the forearm, turning the hand posteriorly. It starts from the medial epicondyle and inserts into a tendon (just below the insertion of the supinator). Pronator quadratus is a square shaped muscle and when it contracts, it pulls the lateral side of the radius towards the ulna, thus pronating the hand."

Fontanelles allow for rapid stretching and deformation of the cranium as the brain expands faster than the surrounding bone can grow. Cranial sutures are fibrous joints (synarthroses) between the bones of the vault or face. Both fontanelles and sutures are important for cranial vault growth (and accordingly, brain growth), as once they fully ossify no further expansion of the braincase is possible. Immature humans and apes have six primary fontanelles – two along the midline of the top of the vault (the anterior or bregmatic and the posterior or lambdoid fontanelles) and two on each side of the lateral vault (right and left sphenoidal or anterolateral fontanelles and right and left mastoid or posterolateral fontanelles). The two midline fontanelles both participate in anteroposterior and medioateral brain growth. The fontanelles on the lateral vault permit superoinferior brain growth. Two additional fontanelles (metopic fontanelle and sagittal or third fontanelle) can also be present in humans. In monkeys the fontanelles are nearly or completely closed at the time of birth, in apes the fontanelles are small but still present at birth, whereas in humans the fontanelles are large in newborns. In humans, the sequence of fontanelle closure is as follows: 1) posterior fontanelle generally closes 2-3 months after birth, 2) sphenoidal fontanelle is the next to close around 6 months after birth, 3) mastoid fontanelle closes next from 6-18 months after birth, and 4) the anterior fontanelle is generally the last to close between 1-3 years of age (in one recent human sample, the anterior fontanelle was closed in most individuals by 31 months postnatally, in another sample most individuals older than 17 months exhibited closure of this fontanelle)."

Gilles is a pediatric neurologist with particular expertise in working with infants and children with complex neurologic disease and autonomic dysfunction, children with multiple disabilities and children after traumatic brain injury (TBI) especially early life TBI. She has extensive expertise in Abusive Head Injury in young children. Dr. Gilles has worked as a general neurologist in academic and hospital-based practices for the past 19 years. SUMMARYInflicted head injury, commonly called shaken baby syndrome, is a preventable form of traumatic brain injury resulting from assault that occurs typically, but not exclusively, in infants and young children less than 3 years of age. These injuries are the result of actions of parents or other caregivers. There are significant medical-legal issues that are not typical for most neurologic diseases. Certain presentations and patterns of injury raise concerns for abuse. Emergency responders, medical providers, and hospital personnel are mandated reporters. This means they must legally report concerns about abuse and neglect to authorities. It is important to remember that a suspicion of an injury being from abuse is just a suspicion."

"text": "Just Mommies Babies / Baby Health Baby Soft Spots - When Will My Baby’s Soft Spots Close? By Just Mommies staff Your baby was born with two noticeable soft spots, called fontanels, on the top and back of his head. Your baby’s skull is made up of bones that connect at the soft spots. The soft spots are made of a tough membrane which allows your baby’s head to be flexible. This flexibility is necessary so that your baby’s head can fit through birth canal. You may have seen a baby that had a cone shaped head when he was born. This was a result of his head being squeezed through the birth canal. Without the soft spots, baby’s head might get stuck in the birth canal, but instead his skull compresses to the shape of the birth canal. Why do babies have soft spots? Babies need a flexible skull, not only to fit through the birth canal, but also to allow room for growth."

"text": "\"Peter J. Taub, MDDec 21, 2010Volume: 9ABSTRACT: Deformational plagiocephaly may be caused by compressive forces in utero (eg, multiple births) or by constant pressure on one portion of the newborn’s malleable skull when the infant is kept in the same supine position for prolonged periods. Certain types of premature bony fusion (craniosynostosis), especially lambdoid synostosis, may be confused with deformational plagiocephaly. A thorough evaluation is critical to differentiating the conditions and includes the acquisition of the family and medical history, examination of the face and skull from multiple angles, and neck examination for torticollis. Plain radiographs can help identify the cause in uncertain cases. Additional imaging studies may be considered, but only after consultation with a craniofacial surgeon. One of the more common conditions pediatricians diagnose is deformity of the skull. The term \"\"plagiocephaly,\"\" from the Greek words plagio (oblique, slanted, or twisted) and kephale (head), simply describes an asymmetrical cranium. Although no human head is truly symmetrical, even small skull deformities in infants may cause concern among parents and physicians. Parental concerns often focus on the appearance of the child’s misshapen head and the possibility for developmental delay as a result of compression of the underlying brain. Research studies examining the association between plagiocephaly and developmental delay are inconclusive."

It is generally caused by some traumatic brain injury or a mental shock. The disorder makes it impossible for a patient to create fresh memories after the incident that leads to the amnesia. This means they are unable to remember incidences from recent past. But, their long-term memories about anything that happened before the event are not affected in any way. This is the main distinguishing feature between this type of amnesia and another similar condition named Retrograde Amnesia. Individuals suffering from the latter condition lose all memories created before the event took place. In some rare instances, these conditions may occur together in a patient. It is still considered to be a mysterious ailment due to the lack of information about the exact mechanism responsible for storing memories. But certain areas of the temporal cortex, particularly in the hippocampus as well as the nearby subcortical regions, are known to be involved in this type of memory loss."

"text": "Types of Amnesia (Memory Loss)Loss of memory is known as amnesia. There are different types and degrees of Amnesia Types of amnesiaa)Anterograde Amnesia: Anterograde Amnesia is a condition where a person loses all his /her senses. Anterograde amnesia results in a loss of the patient’s ability to create new memories from the time this amnesia was triggered. The patient is often able to recall past histories before he was affected by amnesia – but completely fails to recall recent events. The precise causes of Anterograde amnesia have still not been comprehended by medical science – as researchers struggle to precisely understand the memory mechanism in our brain.b) Emotional or hysterical amnesia: Emotional or hysterical amnesia is normally a temporary condition which is caused by psychological problems. This condition usually does not last for a long time.c)Posthypnotic amnesia: Posthypnotic amnesia is a condition which occurs due to subjection to long periods of hypnosis. In this condition, a patient may not be able to recollect the happenings during the time of hypnosis .d) Lacunar amnesia : Lacunar amnesia is charecterized by loss of memory relted only to a particular event – creating a type of lacuna in the centers of the brain that records memory (the cortex region). Very little is known about the cause or origin of lacunar amnesia.e) Transient Global Amnesia: This kind of amnesia lasts for a few minutes and which is normally referred to as short term memory loss. It usually occurs in elderly people. Transient global amnesia involves an abrupt memory lapse which may last anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours."

Squire Dr. Yael Shrager, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, MGH, and Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USADr. Larry R. Squire, University of California, San Diego, CAAmnesia (neurological amnesia and functional amnesia) refers to difficulty in learning new information or in remembering the past. Neurological amnesia is characterized by a loss of declarative memory. Declarative memory refers to conscious knowledge of facts and events. In contrast, nondeclarative memory, which refers to a collection of non-conscious knowledge systems, is largely thought to remain intact. The terms explicit and implicit memory are sometimes used and have approximately the same meanings as declarative and nondeclarative, respectively. Neurological amnesia occurs following brain injury or disease that damages the medial temporal lobe or medial diencephalon. Neurological amnesia causes severe difficulty in learning new facts and events (anterograde amnesia). Patients with neurological amnesia also typically have some difficulty remembering facts and events that were acquired before the onset of amnesia (retrograde amnesia). Functional amnesia is rarer than neurological amnesia and can occur as the result of an emotional trauma."

It is an experience that lasts for a very short time because it takes a second or two for the sensory neurons and the neurons that come right after them to recover from stimulation. If you look at a window, then shut your eyes tight, you will still see the window for a moment, and then see a reversed image of the window (where white becomes black, red becomes green, blue becomes yellow, and so on). Then it all fades back to black. This visual sensory memory is also called iconic memory, and last less than a second. Do you remember when you were little and you played with sparklers on the fourth of July? Remember making circles or writing your name in the air? You could actually see the circle or the name!

Print History The three components of the classic triad of WE are encephalopathy, ataxic gait, and some variant of oculomotor dysfunction. However, a complicating factor of WE identification is that its presentation may not be associated with the classical clinical triad in up to 90% of patients. Consideration for WE should be given to patients with any evidence of long-term alcohol abuse or malnutrition and any of the following: acute confusion, delirium, ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, memory disturbance, hypothermia with hypotension, and delirium tremens. A high proportion of patients with acute WE who survive develop WKS, characterized by potentially irreversible retrograde amnesia (inability to recall information) and anterograde amnesia (inability to assimilate new information), with varying degrees of other cognitive deficits. [ 13]Consider WE when any patient with long-term malnutrition presents with confusion or altered metal status. Significant overlap exists between WE and Korsakoff psychosis. For this reason, the two entities are often described together as WKS. Alcohol abuse, AIDS, malignancy, hyperemesis gravidarum, prolonged total parenteral nutrition, iatrogenic glucose loading in a thiamine deficient patient, and other disorders associated with grossly impaired nutritional status are associated with WKS. Bariatric surgery, of which there are more than 100,000 weight-loss procedures performed annually in the United States, has been associated with both malnutrition and WE. [ 5] Post–bariatric surgery patients have a limited capacity for food intake during the initial weeks after a bariatric procedure and a body's reserves of thiamine can be depleted after only 20 days of inadequate supply."

The symptoms of amnesia can be caused by a variety of different reasons. Some of these reasons include brain damage, traumatic events, or even the use of certain drugs. Amnesia can vary in degrees of severity from very mild to complete loss of memory. In order to answer the question, “What is amnesia?” you must look at a patient’s symptoms and the types of memories they have lost. There are also different types of amnesia. These varying types are based on the types of memory which have been lost. One definition of amnesia does not fit all types of memory loss."

The dissociative disorders are usually associated with trauma in the recent or distant past, or with an intense internal conflict that forces the mind to separate incompatible or unacceptable knowledge, information, or feelings. In dissociative amnesia , the continuity of the patient's memory is disrupted. Patients with dissociative amnesia have recurrent episodes in which they forget important personal information or events, usually connected with trauma or severe stress . The information that is lost to the patient's memory is usually too extensive to be attributed to ordinary absentmindedness or forgetfulness related to aging. Dissociative amnesia was formerly called \"\"psychogenic amnesia. \"\" Amnesia is a symptom of other medical and mental disorders; however, the patterns of amnesia are different, depending on the cause of the disorder. Amnesia associated with head trauma is typically both retrograde (the patient has no memory of events shortly before the head injury) and anterograde (the patient has no memory of events after the injury). The amnesia that is associated with seizure disorders is sudden onset. Amnesia in patients suffering from delirium or dementia occurs in the context of extensive disturbances of the patient's cognition (knowing), speech, perceptions, emotions, and behaviors."

"text": "\"Anterograde amnesia is a selective memory deficit, resulting from brain injury, in which the individual is severely impaired in learning new information. Memories for events that occurred before the injury may be largely spared, but events that occurred since the injury may be lost. In practice, this means that an individual with amnesia may have good memory for childhood and for the years before the injury, but may remember little or nothing from the years since. Short-term memory is generally spared, which means that the individual may be able to carry on a conversation; but as soon as he is distracted, the memory of the conversation fades. It is now becoming apparent that while anterograde amnesia devastates memory for facts or events, it may spare memory for skills or habits. Thus, an individual with amnesia can be taught a new skill, such as how to play a game or how to write backwards. The next day, the amnesic individual will claim to have no memory of the prior session, but when asked to try executing the skill, can often perform quite well - indicating that some memories have been formed. It is an important area of current research to document exactly which kinds of memory can be formed in amnesia, and how this may be used to help rehabilitate amnesic individuals. Anterograde amnesia can occur following damage to at least three distinct brain areas. The first, and most well-studied, is the hippocampus and associated areas in the medial temporal lobes of the brain."

Amnesia is usually the result of physical damage to areas of thebrain from injury, disease, or alcoholism. Psychologic factors may also cause amnesia; a shocking or unacceptable situation may be too painful to remember, and the situation is then retained only in the subconscious mind. The technical term for this is repression. ( See also dissociative disorders .) Rarely is the memory completely obliterated. When amnesia results from a single physical or psychologic incident, such as a concussion suffered in an accident or a severe emotional shock,the victim may forget only the incident itself; the victim may be unable to recall events occurringbefore or after the incident or the order of events may be confused, with recent events imputed to thepast and past events to recent times. In another form, only certain isolated events are lost to memory. Amnesia victims usually have a good chance of recovery if there is no irreparable brain damage.

"text": "AMNESIA??? Did You Know ??? Infantile amnesia is the label given to the common inability of adults to remember the earliest years of their childhood, typically from birth until around four years old. Various hypotheses have been put forward, including: Sigmund Freud ’s theory of the repression of memories of traumatic events that (according to Freud) necessarily occur in the psychosexual development of every child; the lack of neurological development of the infant brain necessary for the creation of long-term memories, particularly the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex which do not develop into mature structures until the age of three or four years; the incomplete development of language in infants so that autobiographical memories are not encoded in a manner that their language-based adult selves can interpret correctly; etc. Amnesia is the general term for a condition in which memory (either stored memories or the process of committing something to memory) is disturbed or lost, to a greater extent than simple everyday forgetting or absent-mindedness. Amnesia may result either from organic or neurological causes (damage to the brain through physical injury, neurological disease or the use of certain drugs), or from functional or psychogenic causes (psychological factors, such as mental disorder, post-traumatic stress or psychological defence mechanisms). There are two main types of amnesia: anterograde amnesia (where the ability to memorize new things is impaired or lost because data does not transfer successfully from the conscious short-term memory into permanent long-term memory ); and retrograde amnesia (where a person's pre-existing memories are lost to conscious recollection, beyond an ordinary degree of forgetfulness, even though they may be able to memorize new things that occur after the onset of amnesia). Anterograde amnesia is the more common of the two. Sometimes both these types of amnesia may occur together, sometimes called total or global amnesia. Another type of amnesia is post-traumatic amnesia, a state of confusion and memory loss that occurs after a traumatic brain injury."

Long-term memory is rarely affected, but short-term memories, which have not yet been permanently imprinted on our consciousness, are often lost. The most common form of post-traumatic memory loss is anterograde amnesia. With this condition, a patient's memory of events before the accident are clear, but they find it difficult to hold short-term memories following the accident. For example, a doctor treating such a patient may be greeted as a new acquaintance at each consultation."

Photo courtesy of Pixabay, Public Domain Share Tweet Share E-mail Most of us have witnessed the cliche cinematic device in countless Hanna-Barbera cartoons, like The Flintstones: Fred is knocked by a bowling ball on the head, gets a little wonky, and after another bonk, everything goes back to normal. Although a source of comedic relief, mental issues can be a result of major brain injury. Concussions, caused by a bump to the head or body, can lead to amnesia by scrambling neurons in the brain. In Sci Show video, “How Do Concussions Cause Amnesia?” host Hank Green explains when we get a bump to our head or body, it rattles our brain around the skull and damages delicate tissue. Sometimes this damage can make us feel sleepy and headachy for a few days, but the effects can be more serious. After a brain injury, the sloshed-around neurons are really fragile, possibly leading to post-traumatic amnesia. Damage to some parts of the brain can sometimes cause problems in connected regions, known as diaschisis. This type of damage has been linked to an imbalance in brain chemistry, specifically in the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which helps regulate signaling in the brain, and plays an important role in attention and motivation."

"text": "Retrograde amnesia is the temporary or permanent forgetting of things that occur before the event where amnesia was caused, which is often some type of brain injury. This form of amnesia can cover a a small or large portion of a person’s life and, in severe forms, might include the amnesiac’s inability to recognize loved ones or remember how to do things in which he was expert. It usually doesn’t mean forgetting everything, and it also doesn’t have to fully extend very far back through a person’s life. Some people can have mild retrograde amnesia and simply have no recall of events a few hours preceding the event resulting in the amnesiac condition. There are many forms of amnesia, but retrograde amnesia is often contrasted to anterograde amnesia. The latter is when people have trouble remembering things after some form of trauma or some treatments like drug therapy have occurred. They might have total recall of all events prior to the memory-impairing event or some people experience retrograde and anterograde amnesia at the same time. In other words, memory before and after trauma or treatment is impaired to a certain degree. Ad Causes of retrograde amnesia are generally attributed to injuries in the brain, particularly the hippocampus and less specifically the temporal lobes. The ability of a person to recover from such damage largely depends on how well these regions can heal, and with severe cases, recovery isn’t always predictable."

Memory is affected by many different factors varying from culture, rehearsal, specific patterns in the article and many more. Our brains affect memory physiologically. The different areas of the brain have different functions, however there is not always one specific area that is assigned to perform one specific role. Therefore, different parts of the brain work collaboratively together in order to carry out a process such as memory. Some of the parts of the brain that are involved in memory are the hippocampus, frontal lobes, Wernicke?s area and Broca?s area. In the case of Clive Wearing who was a highly respected musician in his 40s, when he contracted a viral infection in 1985, which left him with extensive damage to the frontal lobes and hippocampus parts of his brain. ... read more."

Perhaps the best known example of retrograde amnesia, actually turned out to be a scam. \"\" Philip Staufen\"\" (actually the name of a medieval German king, but it was the first name the man came up with when he woke up), also known as Mr. Nobody, was a man, in his late twenties and with a slight Yorkshire English accent but no other identification, who awoke in a Toronto hospital in 1999 with what appeared to be severe retrograde or global amnesia. After various attempts to obtain Canadian citizenship and to legally change his name, he turned out to be a Romanian called Sywalkd Skeid, and to exhibit no clinical evidence of amnesia at all. The famous anterograde amnesia case known as \"\"H. M.\"\" also suffered moderate retrograde amnesia, and could not remember most events in the year or two before surgery, nor some events up to 11 years before. The British musician Clive Wearing suffers from an acute and long-lasting case of both anterograde amnesia and retrograde amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is a form of amnesia where someone is unable to recall events that occurred before the development of the amnesia, even though they may be able to encode and memorize new things that occur after the onset. Retrograde amnesia usually follows damage to areas of the brain other than the hippocampus (the part of the brain involved in encoding new memories), because already exisiting long-term memories are stored in the neurons and synapses of various different brain regions. For example, damage to Broca’s or Wernicke’s areas of the brain, which are specifically linked to speech production and language information, would probably cause language-related memory loss."

Anterolisthesis is defined as a forward slippage of the upper vertebral body in relation to the vertebra below. The progression in the displacement of the involved vertebra can potentially pinch the spinal nerves of the vertebra and may also result in damages in the spinal cord. Anterolisthesis can arise in any other area of the spine although it is mostly detected in the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. Anterolisthesis is a form of spondylolithesis that described the manner of slippage of the vertebra. Anterolisthesis is the condition of the spine that involves the vertebrae. The vertebrae make up the spine and are bones that form an opening to allow a passageway for the spinal cord. The spine is made up of approximately 24 articulating bones with 5 fused bones in the sacrum and 4 fused bones in the coccyx. The vertebral column is placed in the dorsal portion of the torso."

"text": "\"share Dynamic Chiropractic – June 15, 2013, Vol. 31, Issue 12A More Accurate Way to Diagnose Ligament Laxity By Todd Cielo, DCAs chiropractors, we consult with patients daily in our offices, maneuvering through questions and answers to formulate a plan of treatment and diagnosis. A major challenge we face as clinicians, of course, is knowing the concrete difference between subjective and objective findings. Objective vs. Subjective Findings Subjective findings are focused on complaints like muscle spasm, headaches, numbness, antalgic lean, radicular pain, restricted range of motion, etc. Subjective findings are the patient's complaints in their words, or their perception of pain, sensory changes, motor changes, or range-of-motion alterations. We label these subjective findings with medical terminology that fit the patient's description of complaints. The precision and accuracy comes into account when we locate the cause of these symptoms so insurance companies understand the reasons for medical necessity. These types of symptoms need to be correlated with imaging diagnostics that explain a particular symptom, pattern or area of complaint objectively. Without some sort of concrete evidence that explains a patient's spinal condition, we merely have symptoms with no forensic evidence to prove medical necessity of treatment. We need objective documentation that provides insurance companies valid reason for continued care and payment for rendered services."

Walz American Journal of Neuroradiology November 2010, 31 (10) 1778-1786; DOI: https://doi.org/10.3174/ajnr. A2036Article Figures & Data Info & Metrics References PDFAbstract SUMMARY: LSTVs are common within the spine, and their association with low back pain has been debated in the literature for nearly a century. LSTVs include sacralization of the lowest lumbar vertebral body and lumbarization of the uppermost sacral segment. These vertebral bodies demonstrate varying morphology, ranging from broadened transverse processes to complete fusion. Low back pain associated with an LSTV may arise from the level above the transition, the contralateral facet when unilateral, and/or the anomalous articulation when present. Although this association is still somewhat controversial, beyond dispute is the importance of identifying an LSTV in patients in whom a surgical or interventional procedure is planned. This is essential to avoid an intervention or surgery at an incorrect level. In this article, each of these issues will be addressed with attention to identifying and correctly numbering LSTVs as well as detecting imaging findings related to the genesis of low back pain. Abbreviations APanteroposterior LSTVlumbosacral transitional vertebra LSTVs are congenital spinal anomalies defined as either sacralization of the lowest lumbar segment or lumbarization of the most superior sacral segment of the spine. LSTVs are common in the general population, with a reported prevalence of 4%–30%."

Since last spring, I have been battling radiculopathy in my left buttock, thigh and back of left foot, with occasional LBP though that is generally minor compared to the leg pain, or non-existent. The pain is present on standing and walking, while sitting and lying are much better. I do not have foot drop or noticeable motor weakness on the left side, and am able to do all activities without restriction, but experience significant pain following those activities, especially ones involving significant extension. I had x-rays and MRI done last July/August and was diagnosed with stable grade I/II spondylolisthesis of L5 on S1 with a severely degenerated L5-S1 disc, resulting in severe foraminal narrowing on the left side, and moderate on the right. I have tried various approaches (PT, core strengthening, pelvic tilt during activities, chiropractic, etc.) with varying and limited success. I am trying to find a way to decrease the pain while continuing on in my athletic pursuits. Is continued conservative therapy the way to go? I feel like I achieve some moderate success w/conservative measures for a couple of days and then backslide into pain as soon as I train/exercise."

"text": "Anterolisthesis Share Email Print The vertebrae are the bones that protect the spinal cord. Each vertebra has a thick drum-shaped area in front called a vertebral body. Between the vertebrae are spaces that allow nerves (nerve roots) to go from the spinal cord to other parts of the body. In anterolisthesis, the upper vertebral body is positioned abnormally compared to the vertebral body below it. More specifically, the upper vertebral body slips forward on the one below. The amount of slippage is graded on a scale from 1 to 4. Grade 1 is mild (20% slippage), while grade 4 is severe (100% slippage). Symptoms Symptoms can vary depending on whether the slippage is enough to pinch the nerve roots (the portion of the nerve that leaves the spinal cord to connect to other parts of the body) that go from the spinal cord to other parts of the body. In this case, the symptoms will differ depending on where the affected area is. Symptoms can involve movement or problems feeling sensations (such as heat, cold, pain, position in space, etc. ),"

This displacement can be of a single vertebra or the whole vertebral column. Spondylolisthesis Spine Structure A hale and hearty spine is flexible. It is capable of moving, rotating, bending and extending. The high flexibility is because of the spine structure. Here the vertebrae are piled one of the other. The vertebrae are the bones that protect the spinal chord. They are held intact with the support of muscles, discs, joints and ligaments. All of them together make it possible for a spine to move in different planes. When any of the vertebra or the vertebral column slips from its original position due to any reason, the patient suffers from the condition called Spondylolisthesis."

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

In these instances, Anthem uses the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) relative values for anesthesiology and modified Medicare fees for clinical lab. Throughout this Manual, Anthem’s method of reimbursement will be referred to as the current Anthem fee schedule, which is a combination of the modified RBRVS values, the services not evaluated by RBRVS and the Anthem conversion factor. Back to top Hold Harmless Providers contracted with Anthem agree that in no event, including, but not limited to, non-payment by Anthem, Anthem insolvency or breach of the Provider Agreement, will the Provider bill, charge or collect a deposit from; seek compensation, remuneration or reimbursement from; or have any recourse against Anthem members or persons other than Anthem, acting on its own behalf, for services provided pursuant to the Provider Agreement. This provision will not prohibit collection of coinsurance, copayments or deductibles in accordance with the terms of the applicable member certificate or collection of payment for non-covered services, except as otherwise expressly prohibited by the Provider Agreement. Providers contracted with Anthem agree that 1) this provision will survive the termination of the Provider Agreement regardless of the cause giving rise to termination and shall be construed to be for the benefit of the member, and 2) this provision supersedes any oral or written contrary agreement now existing or hereafter entered into between a Provider and any member or person acting on his or her own behalf.

What most people don’t understand initially is that the government completely standardized Medicare supplement insurance plans back in 1991 to ensure that a plan designated with a certain letter will work identically regardless of the company you buy it from. You’ll have the same benefits, same doctor’s network, and claims will be processed in the same way. In fact, in Medicare’s annual “Choosing a Medigap Policy” guide, on page 9, it states in bold letters “Cost is usually the only difference between Medigap policies with the same letter sold by different insurance companies.” Your Go Medigap agent can help you better understand this."

[ 4] The companies grew significantly, controlling 80% of the medical insurance market in Indiana by the 1970s. In 1972 they came together to create a joint operating agreement, [5] and merged in 1985 as parent company, Associated Insurance Companies, Inc, to form Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana. [ 5] [6] [7]In 1986 Associated Insurance Companies changed its name to The Associated Group (TAG) to reflect its expanded focus, [6] and began heavily expanding outside Indiana, acquiring numerous insurance companies and creating new subsidiaries throughout the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. Formerly Anthem Inc. was an insurance company which began in the 1980s as a spin-off of the group insurance operations of American General Insurance. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield was created as part of the merger of The Associated Group with Community Mutual Insurance Co. of Cincinnati. [ 8]From its move to a publicly traded company in 2001 until its final merger in 2004, it merged the Blue Cross Blue Shield organizations of several states to achieve economy of scale, converting them in the process from non-profit to for-profit status."

"text": "Home > Health Insurance Articles > Difference Between Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield What is the difference between Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield? In California, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield are actually different companies and are competitors. In most other states, they are the same company and formed an association, the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. Anthem Blue Cross is a for profit company in California, and Blue Shield is a non-profit. Both insurance companies have large networks and very good doctors. In California, Anthem Blue Cross is the biggest health insurance carrier. They have the most volume of health insurance applications and also have the most members. Blue Shield is also a very large health insurance carrier in California. They are right up there with Aetna and United Healthcare as far as volume and scale. Being a non-profit organization, Blue Shield sometimes gives credits back to their members if they make a profit for the year."

Formerly Anthem Inc. was an insurance company which began in the 1980s as a spin-off of the group insurance operations of American General Insurance. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield was created as part of the merger of The Associated Group with Community Mutual Insurance Co. of Cincinnati. [ 8]From its move to a publicly traded company in 2001 until its final merger in 2004, it merged the Blue Cross Blue Shield organizations of several states to achieve economy of scale, converting them in the process from non-profit to for-profit status."

"text": "\"ST. LOUIS, March 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-i Reach/ -- Welvie, a Health Care Innovation Challenge federal grant awardee, reported positive results within the first six months of launching its surgery decision-support program with select Medicare beneficiaries in Ohio. Welvie joined with Well Point, Inc. to bring the innovative Welvie decision-support program to Medicare Advantage members in Well Point's affiliated Medicare Advantage health plans in Ohio. The grant initiative is intended to demonstrate how the Welvie surgery decision-support program can help Medicare enrollees work with their doctors to improve decision-making and outcomes when considering preference-sensitive surgeries. More than 2,500 Medicare beneficiaries – twice the expected response rate – have participated in the program within the first six months of the offering. About 60 percent of the participating Medicare beneficiaries accessed the program online, demonstrating an increasing trend of Medicare beneficiaries using the Internet for health care information. Interest is strong for those without online capabilities as well, as the remainder requested the program's booklet and gave it high ratings. Regardless of how the Welvie program is accessed, it has received high marks from participants, including:98 percent of those participating in the program responded that they clearly understood there are usually at least two treatment options available other than surgery for many conditions94 percent said the Welvie program helped prepare them to speak with their doctor about their health97 percent responded that they are more likely to interview their doctor as a result of using the program95 percent stated that they are likely to refer a friend to the program95 percent answered that they will use the program again\"\"We are encouraged by these early results and are confident in our continued success of addressing the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) goals of better health, better health care and lower costs,\"\" said Chip Tooke, executive chairman of Welvie. \"\" We are excited to participate with Welvie in this grant initiative, which empowers Medicare beneficiaries to better understand how to work with their doctors when considering important health care decisions,\"\" said Leeba Lessin, executive vice president of Well Point and president of its affiliated Medicare businesses. Welvie's project, supported by a $6.76 million grant received in August through Funding Opportunity Number CMS-1C1-12-0001 from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is focused on helping Medicare beneficiaries work with their doctors to understand all of their treatment options, both surgical and non-surgical, and when surgery is determined to be the correct course of treatment, assist them in preparing for the procedure and their recovery."

Darron Cummings—APBy Kara Brandeisky February 5, 2015Anthem customers might be feeling a bit ill this morning. The nation’s second-largest health insurance company just announced that hackers have stolen members’ Social Security numbers, names, birthdays, medical IDs, and more sensitive personal information in a massive data breach. The breach affects an estimated 80 million customers and employees. At this point, Anthem does not believe the hackers accessed credit card or medical information. “Safeguarding your personal, financial and medical information is one of our top priorities, and because of that, we have state-of-the-art information security systems to protect your data,” Anthem President and CEO Joseph R. Swedish said in a statement. “ However, despite our efforts, Anthem was the target of a very sophisticated external cyber attack.” Anthem does not yet know who was responsible. Anthem says members of multiple health plans were affected, including Anthem Blue Cross, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Amerigroup, Caremore, Unicare, Healthlink, and De Care."

"text": "County Medical Services Program (CMSP)The County Medical Services Program (CMSP) provides limited-term health coverage for uninsured low-income, indigent adults that are not otherwise eligible for other publicly funded health programs. Thirty-five, primarily rural California counties participate in CMSP. The CMSP Governing Board, established by California law in 1995, is charged with overall program and fiscal responsibility for the program. Eligibility requirements address such areas as: age limits, residency and citizenship, personal property limits, motor vehicle limits, real property limits, responsibility of family members/relatives, need standard, and share-of-cost. Other program requirements address such matters as use of the Beneficiary Identification Card (BIC), prior authorization for selected services, CMSP member copayments and monthly share-of-cost, liability for payment for health care services by other insurance, and fair hearings. Eligibility is determined in accordance with the CMSP Eligibility Manual. From January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013, the CMSP Governing Board operated a Low Income Health Program pilot project, Path2Health. The Path2Health pilot project ended on December 31, 2013 and Path2Health enrollees were transitioned to Medi-Cal eligiblity on January 1, 2014. The Governing Board approved a revised CMSP Eligiblity Manual on December 11, 2013. The revised CMSP Eligiblity Manual is effective January 1, 2014."

"text": "Family Finance identity theft Anthem Health Insurance Was Hacked. Here's What Customers Need to Know The corporate headquarters of health insurer Anthem, in Indianapolis. Darron Cummings—APBy Kara Brandeisky February 5, 2015Anthem customers might be feeling a bit ill this morning. The nation’s second-largest health insurance company just announced that hackers have stolen members’ Social Security numbers, names, birthdays, medical IDs, and more sensitive personal information in a massive data breach. The breach affects an estimated 80 million customers and employees. At this point, Anthem does not believe the hackers accessed credit card or medical information. “Safeguarding your personal, financial and medical information is one of our top priorities, and because of that, we have state-of-the-art information security systems to protect your data,” Anthem President and CEO Joseph R. Swedish said in a statement. “ However, despite our efforts, Anthem was the target of a very sophisticated external cyber attack.” Anthem does not yet know who was responsible. Anthem says members of multiple health plans were affected, including Anthem Blue Cross, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia, Empire Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Amerigroup, Caremore, Unicare, Healthlink, and De Care."

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

"text": "\"Anthem, Blue Shield to cover therapy for autistic children Pressured by state regulators, the health insurers agree to pick up the initial cost of a treatment known as applied behavior analysis. July 15, 2011 | By Duke Helfand and Alan Zarembo, Los Angeles Times Two of California's largest health insurers have agreed to pay for costly behavioral therapy for thousands of autistic children — services the companies have long resisted covering. Under pressure from regulators, Blue Shield of California and Anthem Blue Cross said they would pick up the initial cost of a treatment known as applied behavior analysis. Insurers, worried about rising demand for expensive services as the number of autism cases grows, have argued that the therapy is not a medical treatment but an educational or social service exempt from coverage. Anthem and Blue Shield settled their dispute with the California Department of Managed Health Care to avoid penalties or other enforcement actions, officials said. The companies agreed to the settlements but acknowledged no wrongdoing. Both insurers have agreed to cover a minimum of six months of treatment for HMO patients as long as the services are deemed \"\"medically necessary\"\" by healthcare providers and offered under the supervision of licensed professionals. Blue Shield signed its agreement Monday, and a state spokeswoman said Anthem had agreed as well and planned to sign Friday. A similar deal is in the works with the Kaiser Permanente HMO. Edward Heidig, interim director of the managed healthcare department, said the agreements would provide long-overdue help for the families of nearly 18,000 California children affected by the deals."

Since World War II and the fall of Nazi Germany, only the third stanza has been used as the national anthem. The stanza's beginning, \"\" Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit \"\" (\"\"Unity and Justice and Freedom\"\") is considered the unofficial national motto of Germany, [1] and is inscribed on modern German Army belt buckles and the rims of some German coins. The music is the hymn \"\" Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser \"\", written in 1797 by the Austrian composer Joseph Haydn as an anthem for the birthday of Francis II, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and later of Austria. In 1841, the German linguist and poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben wrote the lyrics of \"\" Das Lied der Deutschen \"\" as a new text for that music, counterposing the national unification of Germany to the eulogy of a monarch, lyrics that were considered revolutionary at the time."

An introduction to such laws is provided below, titled Understanding Mandated Health Insurance Benefits. State Mandated Benefits Traditionally states counted health mandate laws to include required categories of up to 70 distinct \"\"benefits\"\" as well as \"\"health providers\"\" (such as acupuncturists or chiropractors) and \"\"persons covered\"\" (such as adopted children, handicapped dependents or adult dependents). Adding up these laws, there are more than 1,900 such statutes among all 50 states; another analysis tallies more than 2,200 individual statute provisions, adopted over a 30+ year period. Federal \"\"Essential Health Benefits (EHB)The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides for \"\"essential health benefits,\"\" defined as health treatment and services benefits in sections 1302 (a) and (b). These combined benefit requirements apply to all policies sold in Exchanges and in the small group and individual markets, effective October 1, 2013. The benefits are covered for individual patient treatments beginning January 1, 2014 and continuing at least through policy plan years 2017 and 2018. 1, 2April 2018 Update: On April 9, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued an annual HHS \"\"Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2019\"\". The agency release described this as a final rule that \"\"will mitigate the harmful impacts of Obamacare and empower states to regulate their insurance market.” The specifics include a substantial change away from the benefit requirements in many health plans offered for 2014-2018."

Key was inspired by the large American flag, with 15 stars and 15 stripes, known as the Star-Spangled Banner, flying triumphantly above the fort during the American victory. The poem was set to the tune of a popular British song written by John Stafford Smith for the Anacreontic Society, a men's social club in London. \"\" To Anacreon in Heaven \"\" (or \"\"The Anacreontic Song\"\"), with various lyrics, was already popular in the United States.

In 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, peace activist John Mc Connell proposed a day to honor the Earth and the concept of peace, to first be celebrated on March 21, 1970, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. This day of nature's equipoise was later sanctioned in a proclamation written by Mc Connell and signed by Secretary General U Thant at the United Nations.

Providers have one year from the date of the original explanation of benefits (EOB) or remittance advice (RA) to dispute a claims adjudication action. This policy does not apply to routine provider inquiries that Anthem resolves in a timely fashion through existing informal processes (i.e., through customer service or submission of a Claim Action Request Form ). The Provider-carrier appeal process is available for administrative and payment issues only. Members may appeal utilization review decisions in accordance with the member appeals process. Anthem will make a determination within 60 calendar days of receipt of all the necessary information, unless the timeframe is extended by mutual agreement; in those cases, Anthem will send written notification of the outcome to the Provider by the mutually agreed upon date. When Anthem does not receive all the information necessary to make a decision, Anthem will send the Provider the following within 30 calendar days of our receipt of the appeal request: 1) written notice of what is required; 2) the date the information is due; and 3) a reminder that failure to send the information within the allowed 30-day time frame will result in closure of the appeal with no further review. Anthem will notify the Provider that further consideration of the closed appeal must begin with a new request. This policy complies with Colorado Insurance Regulation 4-2-23. Necessary Information Necessary information consists of 1) each applicable date of service; 2) the subscriber or member name; 3) the patient name; 4) the subscriber or member number; 5) the Provider name; 6) the Provider tax identification number; 7) the dollar amount in dispute, if applicable; 8) the Provider position statement explaining the nature of the dispute; and 9) supporting documentation when necessary, e.g., medical records, proof of timely filing."

Four carriers offered plans in the Indiana exchange for 2017, but two left at the end of the year. Celtic/Ambetter and Care Source remained in the exchange for 2018. Open enrollment began November 1, 2017, and ended just six weeks later, on December 15, 2017. This was much shorter than previous open enrollment periods have been, and it was the first time that open enrollment ended before the start of the new year. All plans selected during open enrollment took effect January 1, 2018.166,711 people enrolled in coverage during the open enrollment period for 2018 coverage. That was about 4.5 percent lower than the 174,611 enrollments the year before, but that decline has to be considered in conjunction with the fact that open enrollment was only half as long for 2018, and the Trump Administration slashed funding for exchange outreach and marketing in the weeks leading up to open enrollment. And there’s a special enrollment period for anyone whose plan terminated at the end of 2017, including enrollees who had Anthem and MDwise plans in 2017. The special enrollment period continues until March 1, 2018, which is 60 days after the termination of the 2017 plans. Anthem and MDwise exited the exchange; Celtic/Ambetter and Care Source remained."

"text": "\"Keith Speights ( TMFFish Biz)Oct 6, 2015 at 10:56AMSource: Free Stock Photos.biz If you live in the U. S. and have health insurance, there's at least a 75% chance that you're part of a managed care program. Despite this tremendous reach, however, many Americans don't have a solid understanding of what managed care is. Here's what you need to know about this pervasive part of the U. S. healthcare system. The big picture At its core, managed care is about money. Increasing healthcare costs aren't a new concern -- over four decades ago, people worried about medical inflation. Discussions about how to control the growth of healthcare costs during the Nixon Administration ultimately led to passage of the Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973, which ushered managed care into the U. S. in a major way. Proponents of managed care saw several opportunities to control healthcare costs. One key way is the establishment of provider networks. To become a member of a network, providers have to meet specific quality standards and agree to pricing arrangements that lower overall costs. Another important way that managed care attempts to keep a lid on healthcare costs is through utilization management."

Gilead’s pricing for that and other drugs has forced private and public healthcare providers to engage in outright rationing.

All she knows is that back in 2000, when she tried to donate blood, the lab told her she had it. After that she shared the nightmare of millions of hepatitis C victims. Hoping to stave off the disease's most dire outcomes — progressive liver damage, liver cancer or a liver transplant — she underwent what until recently was the preferred therapy. That involved interferon treatment, which had severe side effects and didn't work in as many as one-third of all cases. \"\" Those were the most debilitating eight weeks of my life,\"\" she told me. It didn't work. After the treatment, her viral load was higher than before.

Ted Wood/The Story Group W hen James Sines shopped for homes in 2007, he thought he knew how to pick a neighborhood that would never be drilled for oil or gas. His nephew, a geologist, told Sines to ask the real estate agent showing a house in Broomfield’s Anthem development whether the deed included sub-surface mineral rights. The real estate agent’s answer was vague. Sines pressed the agent, and learned that the mineral rights beneath the otherwise spacious floor plan would not belong to him. Sines crossed the highway to the Wildgrass development’s orderly rows of executive homes under construction. “ The first question I asked was, ‘Do I own the mineral rights?’” recalled Sines. The answer was yes, and he bought the house. Nearly a decade later, Sines, a manufacturing consultant, learned that in Colorado, owning your mineral rights doesn’t necessarily protect you from drilling."

[ 4] The companies grew significantly, controlling 80% of the medical insurance market in Indiana by the 1970s. In 1972 they came together to create a joint operating agreement, [5] and merged in 1985 as parent company, Associated Insurance Companies, Inc, to form Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Indiana. [ 5] [6] [7]In 1986 Associated Insurance Companies changed its name to The Associated Group (TAG) to reflect its expanded focus, [6] and began heavily expanding outside Indiana, acquiring numerous insurance companies and creating new subsidiaries throughout the late 1980s through the mid-1990s. Formerly Anthem Inc. was an insurance company which began in the 1980s as a spin-off of the group insurance operations of American General Insurance. Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield was created as part of the merger of The Associated Group with Community Mutual Insurance Co. of Cincinnati. [ 8]From its move to a publicly traded company in 2001 until its final merger in 2004, it merged the Blue Cross Blue Shield organizations of several states to achieve economy of scale, converting them in the process from non-profit to for-profit status."

Your group’s members should carry their identification cards at all times and present them to health care professionals whenever they are seeking treatment. Members may have two different cards — medical/prescription drug and dental. ID cards contain important information for both members and health care professionals. Identification cards are to be used only by members of health care plans offered or administered by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and its affiliated HMOs. Use of an ID card by anyone other than the member named on the card (or covered family members) for the purpose of receiving services constitutes fraud. Penalties for fraud include immediate termination of coverage and criminal prosecution. Medical/Prescription Drug and Dental ID Cards Medical/Prescription Drug ID Cards A medical/prescription drug card contains information that is valuable both to your employees and doctors, like the member’s ID number, group number, benefit information and Member Services phone numbers. If your group’s coverage includes an outpatient prescription drug program, this coverage will be indicated on the member’s ID card. Typically, your group’s members can present their ID card indicating prescription drug coverage at a network pharmacy, pay any applicable copayment/deductible and do not need to file a claim."

Set during the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of the city of Troy (Ilium) by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior Achilles. Although the story covers only a few weeks in the final year of the war, the Iliad mentions or alludes to many of the Greek legends about the siege; the earlier events, such as the gathering of warriors for the siege, the cause of the war, and related concerns tend to appear near the beginning. Then the epic narrative takes up events prophesied for the future, such as Achilles' imminent death and the fall of Troy, although the narrative ends before these events take place. However, as these events are prefigured and alluded to more and more vividly, when it reaches an end the poem has told a more or less complete tale of the Trojan War. The Iliad is paired with something of a sequel, the Odyssey, also attributed to Homer. Along with the Odyssey, the Iliad is among the oldest extant works of Western literature, and its written version is usually dated to around the 8th century BC. [ 2] In the modern vulgate (the standard accepted version), the Iliad contains 15,693 lines; it is written in Homeric Greek, a literary amalgam of Ionic Greek and other dialects."

"title": "http://www.academicroom.com/topics/what-is-sculpture\nSculpture",
"text": "Sculpture Sculpture Tweetby Leonard R. Rogers Sculpture, an artistic form in which hard or plastic materials are worked into three-dimensional art objects. The designs may be embodied in freestanding objects, in reliefs on surfaces, or in environments ranging from tableaux to contexts that envelop the spectator. An enormous variety of media may be used, including clay, wax, stone, metal, fabric, glass, wood, plaster, rubber, and random “found” objects. Materials may be carved, modeled, molded, cast, wrought, welded, sewn, assembled, or otherwise shaped and combined. Sculpture is not a fixed term that applies to a permanently circumscribed category of objects or sets of activities. It is, rather, the name of an art that grows and changes and is continually extending the range of its activities and evolving new kinds of objects. The scope of the term was much wider in the second half of the 20th century than it had been only two or three decades before, and in the fluid state of the visual arts at the turn of the 21st century nobody can predict what its future extensions are likely to be. Certain features which in previous centuries were considered essential to the art of sculpture are not present in a great deal of modern sculpture and can no longer form part of its definition. One of the most important of these is representation. Before the 20th century, sculpture was considered a representational art, one that imitated forms in life, most often human figures but also inanimate objects, such as game, utensils, and books."

"text": "\"Architecture A common plant of the Mediterranean, whose stylized leaves form the characteristic decoration on Corinthian and Composite capitals; also appears on acanthus capitals, friezes , panels, and modillions Leaf borders and scroll motifs were used extensively in the art and architecture of ancient Greece and Rome. Foremost of these was the acanthus motif. Some say the acanthus, one of the oldest flowers in the Mediterranean area, represents long life. Throughout most of its long history the leaf ornament generally known as acanthus is in fact an imaginary leaf adapted to many uses. The symbolism and meaning associated with the Acanthus is that of enduring life, and the plant is traditionally displayed at funerary celebrations. In Christianity the thorny leaves represent pain, sin and punishment. Acanthus symbolizes immortality in Mediterranean countries. Scrolling acanthus plants: From the classical world, acanthus plants were depicted as scrolling Drawings of 4 types of acanthus leaves: Roman / Greek / Romanesque / Renaissance Tower of Winds Order Plate VII, Chapter III, Volume I, Antiquities of Athens, by Stuart and Revett. \"\" With its single row of acanthus leaves surrounding a single row of palm leaves, the capital is a simplified version of the Greek Corinthian order, and has become known commonly as the Tower of the Winds order .\"\" - Calder Loth, Classical Comments: Tower of the Winds Order (Online Dec. 2012)Anthemion: Acanthus leaves added at the bases of the lotus and palmette elements produced designs now usually known as anthemion or honeysuckle."

This ornament in its original shape was borrowed by Greek artists from the Orient, and was probably first adopted by the Ionians. It was much used upon antefixes, both sculptured and in terra-cotta, and in the composition of acroteria, particularly those of the tall and slender Greek funeral slabs.

"text": "\"Free Medical Terminology Flash Cards: Suffixes Suffixes end words but are often where definitions begin in medical terminology. After determining the meaning of the suffix, the prefix is usually defined next, followed by the root word meaning. Suffixes may be used to to make a word either an adjective or a noun. Depending on how the root word ends, a combining vowel may be attached between the root word and the suffix. A suffix will have the same meaning when added to any root word. For instance, -plasty means surgical repair, so rhinoplasty would denote surgical repair of the nose while angioplasty means surgical repair of a blood vessel. Some suffixes may have the same or similar meanings. For example, -al, -ary, ical, and -oid all may mean \"\"pertaining to,\"\" but each may be used with particular root words in practice. Some suffixes that have the same meaning may be interchanged with other suffixes with the same meaning in certain circumstances. How to Use These Suffix Flash Cards The following free medical terminology flash cards may help people to study common suffixes used in medical professions."

All roads were considered to begin at this monument and all distances in the Roman Empire were measured relative to it. [ 1] On it perhaps were listed all the major cities in the empire and distances to them, [2] though the monument's precise location and inscription remain matters of debate among historians. According to Philip Schaff, [3] the phrase \"\" all roads lead to Rome \"\" is a reference to the Milliarium Aureum – the specific point to which all roads were said to lead.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Lexical definition of definition)navigation search To get the definition of another word, try using Wiktionary For other uses of the word \"\"definition\"\" itself, see Definition (disambiguation). A definition states the meaning of a word using other words. This is sometimes challenging. Common dictionaries contain lexical descriptive definitions but there are various types of definition - all with different purposes and focuses. A definition is a statement of the meaning of a term (a word, phrase, or other set of symbols ). [ 1] Definitions can be classified into two large categories, intensional definitions (which try to give the essence of a term) and extensional definitions (which proceed by listing the objects that a term describes). [ 2] Another important category of definitions is the class of ostensive definitions, which convey the meaning of a term by pointing out examples. A term may have many different senses and multiple meanings, and thus require multiple definitions. [ 3] [a]In mathematics, a definition is used to give a precise meaning to a new term, instead of describing a pre-existing term. Definitions and axioms are the basis on which all of modern mathematics is constructed. ["

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

Good soil drainage is essential. Wet soils in winter can be fatal. Tolerates some light shade, particularly in hot summer climates or when plants are being grown in dryish soils. Remove spent flower heads to promote additional bloom. Divide clumps as needed (every 2-3 years) to maintain vigor. Plants are somewhat short-lived. Consider cutting stems back to basal leaves after flowering to preserve plant energies and perhaps prolong plant life. Noteworthy Characteristics Leucanthemum x superbum, commonly called Shasta daisy, is a hybrid developed by Luther Burbank (1849-1926) in the 1890s near snow covered Mt. Shasta in northern California. Burbank crossed Leucanthemum vulgare (European oxeye daisy), Leucanthemum maximum (Pyrenees chrysanthemum), Leucanthemum lacustre (Portuguese field daisy) and Nipponanthemum nipponicum (Japanese field daisy) to produce Leucanthemum x superbum which was given the common name of Shasta daisy."

The plural form is antheridia, and a structure containing one or more antheridia is called an androecium. [ 1] \"\"Androecium\"\" is also used as the collective term for the stamens of flowering plants. Antheridia are present in the gametophyte phase of cryptogams like bryophytes and ferns. Many algae and some fungi, for example ascomycetes and water moulds, also have antheridia during their reproductive stages. In gymnosperms and angiosperms, the male gametophytes have been reduced to pollen grains and in most of these the antheridia have been reduced to a single generative cell within the pollen grain. During pollination, this generative cell divides and gives rise to sperm cells. The female counterpart to the antheridium in cryptogams is the archegonium, and in flowering plants is the gynoecium. An antheridium typically consists of sterile cells and spermatogenous tissue. The sterile cells may form a central support structure or surround the spermatogenous tissue as a protective jacket."

( March 2018)In the first stage of sexual reproduction, \"\"meiosis\"\", the number of chromosomes is reduced from a diploid number (2n) to a haploid number (n). During \"\"fertilization\"\", haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote and the original number of chromosomes is restored. Sexual reproduction is a form of reproduction where two morphologically distinct types of specialized reproductive cells called gametes fuse together, involving a female's large ovum (or egg) and a male's smaller sperm. Each gamete contains half the number of chromosomes of normal cells."

"text": "\"Lab 8 - Primitive Plants - Bryophytes, Ferns and Fern Allies Introduction to Bryophytes - Mosses, Liverworts, and Hornworts As we pass from mosses to ferns, we see a gradual transition from primitive to modern traits. There are two major trends you should focus on in today's lab. The first is a transition in life cycles, the second is a change in basic internal structure. First, all plants undergo an alternation of generations , between a haploid gametophyte stage and a diploid sporophyte stage. In the most primitive plants, like mosses, the gametophyte is dominant (i.e. it's big and green). In higher plants like ferns and fern allies, the sporophyte stage is dominant. Gametophytes produce gametes (sperm and eggs) in a special structure called a gametangium (-ia), while sporophytes produce spores in a special structure called a sporangium (-ia). Second, all plants need to get water to their cells. Primitive bryophytes like mosses and liverworts are so small that they can rely on diffusion to move water in and out of the plant. Mosses have a few strands of water conducting tissue in their central stem, but nothing like the large and well organized network of tubes in tracheophytes, or \"\"tube plants\"\"."

"text": "\"Fern Structures and Reproduction Ferns are seedless, vascular plants. They contain two types of vascular tissue that are needed to move substances throughout the plant. Evolutionarily, this addition of vascular tissue to plants is what allowed ferns to grow up and out rather than just spreading along the ground. The more primitive mosses rely on osmosis and diffusion for material movement and need to stay in close contact with the ground. With the addition of vascular tissue, water, nutrients and food could now be transported throughout a taller plant. The first type of vascular tissue, xylem, is responsible for moving water and nutrients throughout the plant. As the xylem cells reach maturity they die, losing their cellular contents. The external cell walls remain intact. These cell walls are stacked end to end forming long tubes from the roots, through the stems, up to the leaves. As water vapor exits the leaves through the stomata, a process known as transpiration, a vacuum is created, pulling more water from the roots up the xylem tube."

Gynoecium (from Ancient Greek γυνή, gyne, meaning woman, and οἶκος, oikos, meaning house) is most commonly used as a collective term for the parts of a flower that produce ovules and ultimately develop into the fruit and seeds. The gynoecium is the innermost whorl of (one or more) pistils in a flower and is typically surrounded by the pollen -producing reproductive organs, the stamens, collectively called the androecium. The gynoecium is often referred to as the \"\" female \"\" portion of the flower, although rather than directly producing female gametes (i.e. egg cells ), the gynoecium produces megaspores, each of which develops into a female gametophyte which then produces egg cells. The term gynoecium is also used by botanists to refer to a cluster of archegonia and any associated modified leaves or stems present on a gametophyte shoot in mosses, liverworts and hornworts. The corresponding terms for the male parts of those plants are clusters of antheridia within the androecium. Flowers that bear a gynoecium but no stamens are called pistillate or carpellate. Flowers lacking a gynoecium are called staminate. The gynoecium is often referred to as female because it gives rise to female (egg-producing) gametophytes, however, strictly speaking sporophytes do not have a sex, only gametophytes do. [ 1]Gynoecium development and arrangement is important in systematic research and identification of angiosperms, but can be the most challenging of the floral parts to interpret. ["

They are the vascular plants (those having xylem and phloem tissues) that reproduce by releasing spores rather than seeds, and they include the highly diverse true ferns and other graceful, primarily forest-dwelling plants. There are about eleven thousand different species of pteridophytes, making them the most diverse land plants after the flowering plants (angiosperms). Pteridophytes may represent the closest living relatives (sister group) to the seed plants. ( Seed plants include the angiosperms, the conifers, and a smaller assortment of other plants. ) As in seed plants, the greatest diversity of pteridophytes is found in the tropics, with only about six hundred species adapted for life in temperate climates. Species living today are relics of ancient lineages that once dominated Ferns reproduce by releasing spores rather than seeds. the land surface. There is a rich fossil record showing that pteridophytes have ancestors dating back nearly four hundred million years. Before there were seed plants, there were pteridophytes such as large, treelike (up to 36.5 meters [120 feet] tall) Lepidodendron, an ancestor of modern club mosses (which are no more than .30 meter [1 foot] tall), and shrubby Sphenophyllum, a forebear of today's horsetails."

"text": "Common Plant Characteristics<< Prev Section Page 1of 2Next Page >Roots and Shoots Terrestrial plants share a few defining characteristics, structural as well as functional. Perhaps the most basic shared feature of most plants is their division into shoots and roots. The separation between these two portions of the plant came about during the evolutionary move from an aqueous environment to a terrestrial one, and each part is essential in its own way to the plants' ability to survive on land. Figure %: A Generalized Plant The root, defined as the portion of a plant beneath the soil, brings in essential water and minerals from the soil. It also anchors the plant to the substrate, providing stability. The shoot includes all aerial plant structures such as stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits. The shoot gathers the carbon dioxide and light energy necessary for photosynthesis, provides surfaces for gas exchange, and contains the plant's reproductive organs. Each of these parts, the root and the shoot, is dependent on the other, for roots cannot perform photosynthesis and shoots cannot take in water and inorganic nutrients. Prevention of Water Loss Plants share other structural qualities as well, most of which stem from their adaptation to terrestrial conditions. All plants have reproductive structures that prevent desiccation (drying out) of the gametes."

"text": "\"PLANT REPRODUCTION, GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENTAll members of Kingdom Plantae and some algae undergo a specialized type of life cycle known as Alternation of Generations. This term reflects the fact that the generations change ploidy, with a diploid generation (the sporophyte) giving \"\"birth\"\" to a haploid generation (gametophte), and that haploid generation giving \"\"birth\"\" to the next diploid generation, and so on. Alternation of Generations: An analogy of the most primitive Alternation of Generations. If animals were to undergo alternation of generations, then imagine that you are the diploid individual (sporophyte). Your mother, the gametophyte, would be haploid, and would look completely different from you (maybe like a Smurf TM ). Your grandmother would be diploid, and look like you. Your own offspring would look like your mama the Smurf TM, your grandchildren would look like you, and so on. Now consider the means by which each generation reproduces. The haploid Smurf TM generation has the equivalent of gonads. The female has ARCHEGONIA, analogous to ovaries, and the male has ANTHERIDIA, analogous to testes."

Like the ferns they are archaic plants, thriving in abundance during the time of the dinosaurs. Today there are about 15 living species. They are common in the Northern hemisphere and in temperate zones, rarer in the tropics and absent from Australia and New Zealand. The stems shoot from subterranean rhizomes, dying back each year in cold climates. They may also produce subterranean expansions of the roots or tubers that store starch to fuel the initial growth each spring. The growth is monopodial (as in palm trees) - a single axis bears whorls of side-branches. eventually, when ripe, the end of the stem terminates in a 'cone' or strobilus. The leaves are very small and called microphylls. They form a sheath around the stem and are visible just above each whorl of branches."

The diversity in form and size is comparable to that of the Chlorophyta and exceeds that of any of the bryophyte and vascular plant phyla. Characters that unite them include: Mitosis: phragmoplast , cell plate, acentric and open Motile Cells: multilayered structure (MLS) and laterally-inserted flagella They range from motile unicells (Figure A) to colonial forms (Figures B&C), and filaments (Figure D). The desmids (Figure E) and filamentous zygnemataleans like Spirogyra (Figure F) have lost flagellated stages, but are among the most successful freshwater groups. Desmids are especially abundant in soft waters. Plants like Chara and Coleochaete are quite complex, and, although haplontic in their life cycles, provide an intriguing model for the types of organisms that gave rise to the bryophytes and vascular plants.

"text": "\"BRYOPHYTESPlant scientists recognize two kinds of land plants, namely, bryophytes, or nonvascular land plants and tracheophytes,or vascular land plants. Bryophytes are small, herbaceous plants that grow closely packed together in mats or cushions on rocks, soil, or as epiphytes on the trunks and leaves of forest trees. Bryophytes are distinguished from tracheophytes by two important characters. First, in all bryophytes the ecologically persistent, photosynthetic phase of the life cycle is the haploid, gametophyte generation rather than the diploid sporophyte; bryophyte sporophytes are very short-lived, are attached to and nutritionally dependent on their gametophytes and consist of only an unbranched stalk, or seta, and a single, terminal sporangium. Second, bryophytes never form xylem tissue, the special lignin- containing, water-conducting tissue that is found in the sporophytes of all vascular plants. At one time, bryophytes were placed in a single phylum, intermediate in position between algae and vascular plants. Modern studies of cell ultrastructure and molecular biology, however,confirm that bryophytes comprise three separate evolutionary lineages, which are today recognized as mosses (phylum Bryophyta), liverworts (phylum Marchantiophyta) and hornworts (phylum Anthocerotophyta). Following a detailed analysis of land plant relationships, Kenrick and Crane (1998) proposed that the three groups of bryophytes represent a grade or structural level in plant evolution, identified by their \"\"monosporangiate\"\" life cycle. Within this the geologically oldest group, sharing a fossil record with the oldest vascular plants in the Devonian era. Of the three phyla of bryophytes, greatest species diversity is found in the mosses, with up to 15,000 species recognized."

This is how the chromosome number in a life cycle changes from haploid (n) to diploid (2n). The biflagellate sperm in the above illustration is characteristic of a moss. Human sperm have a single flagellum. Mitosis is the division of a haploid (n) or diploid (2n) cell into two duplicate daughter cells. In a strict definition, mitosis (karyokinesis) refers to the division of a nucleus into two duplicate nuclei, each with identical sets of chromosomes. Cytoplasmic division or cytokinesis involves a cleavage furrow in animal cells and a cell plate in plant cells. An example of cell division in haploid cells is the male honey bee (drone bee) which develops from a haploid unfertilized egg.

Ground Bees Many of the species of Hymenoptera drill holes in the ground for various reasons. Ground bees are solitary, unlike honeybees, and prefer to drill small, 1/4-inch holes in the ground that lead to chambers for their young. These bees typically choose areas in the landscape that are free of dense vegetation; bare soil or rock-covered soil is a typical spot for these bees. Ant Species Certain species of ants will create numerous tiny holes in the ground as they are excavating their expansive tunnel systems. In some cases, there will be large mounds of dirt around each hole; in others, the mounds will be smaller.

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature How to ID and Control Ground Bees Should you be concerned about the bees in your yard? Share Flipboard Email Print A ground bee nest looks similar to an anthill, but with a larger opening. Sarah (Flickr: Tawny Mining Bee nest - Andrena Fulva 2d) via Wikimedia Commons [CC BY-SA 2.0]by Debbie Hadley Updated March 26, 2018Ground bees become active in early spring. These bees dig nests in the ground, often in bare patches of the lawn or garden. If you find mounds of soil, similar to anthills but with larger openings, these may be ground bee nests. Watch for bees flying low over the ground and entering their burrows. What Are Ground Bees? First and foremost, ground bees are beneficial insects that perform an important role as pollinators. Ground-nesting bees include the digger bees (family Anthoporidae), sweat bees (family Halictidae), and mining bees (family Andrenidae). Females excavate a nest in dry soil and mound the loose soil around the nest entrance."

Linda von Wartburg Jul 17, 2007 Lantus and Levemir have a lot in common. Both are basal insulin formulas, which means that they last for a long time in the body and act as background insulin, with a slow feed that mimics the constant low output of insulin produced by a healthy pancreas. Both are insulin analogues, which means that their insulin molecules are analogous to human insulin, but engineered, or recombined, with slight differences that slow their absorption. Lantus is a clear formula made with glargine, a genetically modified form of human insulin, dissolved in a special solution. Levemir is also a clear formula, but it contains dissolved detemir, a different form of genetically modified insulin. Human insulin is made of two amino acid chains, called A and B, that have two disulfide bonds between them. In glargine, one amino acid has been switched out, and two extra amino acids have been added to one end of the B chain."

If you're one of these people, this is for you. Step 1: Obvious and Not So Obvious Now, if you are trying to get rid of ants that are indoors, call the exterminator or buy some of those cheap little traps. This instructable is on how to kill outdoor ants. My first way can be somewhat expensive, but very effective GASOLINE. If you pour some gasoline on ant hills they will quickly die. But money doesn't grow on trees (maybe someday) so the next few steps are much more cost efficient. Do NOT attempt gasoline method in dry conditions. I am not responsible for what you do. Step 2: Boiling Water I find that the best way is to pour some boiling hot water (be careful) on ant hills."

These ground digger wasps, or cicada killers, are menacing looking bees that are up to three inches in length. They put bumble bees to shame when it comes to size. The ground digger wasp is 2-3 inches in length (closer to 3 here in Texas), with a red body and bright yellow stripe around the abdomen. They fly extremely fast and you can literally see them darting around from a great distance. They aren't overly aggressive when it comes to stinging, but they will dive-bomb you and keep going. They have a pronounced buzz, much louder than a bumble bee. Even if they don't sting, they are very frightening due to their enormous size. They are also called cicada killers. They prey on cicadas and carry them back to their underground den."

Their common names refer to the fact that they are the smallest member of the family Pythonidae and are often found in termite mounds. The specific epithet is derived from the state capital, Perth, despite the fact that this place is not within the range of the species. [ 2] No subspecies are currently recognized.

Neonates are about 8 inches (20 cm) in length and about 4 grams in weight. After a year they average about 25 grams in weight. This makes them smaller than either the Children's python, A. childreni, and the spotted python, A. maculosa. A. perthensis usually has a redder background ground color than these other species and their spots fade, or become less distinct, as they mature. In contrast, the ground color is lighter in childreni and maculosa, while their spots stay better defined throughout their life."

In North America the Wolverine lives in small populations in the Boreal forest. Research has shown that they have evolved to be able to survive its cold and snowy climate. They have adapted special physical characteristics that help them to live in these environments (Mc Kelvey 2011). These adaptations include larger feet to be able to walk in snow, fur that can hold in heat, and their bodies have become more sturdy (Telfer and Kelsall 1984, Aubrey et al. 2007, Mc Kelvey 2011). The wolverine is a scavenger and hunter, they have been known to eat rodents, birds, and road kill moose and deer. ( Krott 1959, Haglund 1966, Dijk 2007). One of the most important factors of their habitat is snow, because they use it for their dens."

"text": "Soil-borne fungal diseases can be a major problem of tomatoes. There are three steps to understanding and managing tomato diseases in the home garden. The first step is to understand the disease cycle of a typical fungus. The second is to recognize symptoms of important fungal diseases of tomato, and the third is to apply good cultural practices to help minimize the damage caused by these diseases. Simply, fungi live and obtain their nourishment from infected host tissue. Fungi reproduce by spores, tiny microscopic bodies, which are spread by wind, water, or other mechanical means to a new host. On the host, spores germinate and infect healthy plant tissue causing symptoms including leaf spots, rots, and wilts that lead to premature defoliation and reduced tomato yields. Development and spread of fungi in the home garden is determined by rainfall, relative humidity, free moisture, and temperature. Figure 1. Anthracnose fruit rot on ripe tomato fruit Some of the most common fungal diseases that infect tomatoes grown in the home garden include Anthracnose fruit rot, Early blight, Septoria leaf spot, Late blight, and Buckeye rot all which produce distinct symptoms making them easily diagnosable by the home gardener."

"text": "Home »Produce Fungus Plant Diseases By Venice Kichura; Updated September 21, 2017Fungi are parasites that do significant damage to plants and particularly cultivated plants. Roughly 80 percent of all plant diseases come from fungi. Fungal spores are spread by agents such as water and wind to other plants. They develop in humid conditions and are often microscopic, growing on both living and dead plant tissues. Fungal diseases can be seen at any time of year, but mostly occur during fruiting. Early Blight Early blight is a common fungus that can cause serious crop damage and typically attacks potato and tomato plants. Caused by the fungus Alternaria solani, it first appears as brown spots on older, lower leaves and then spreads onto a leaf’s surface. This blight causes a leaf to turn yellow and then wither and die. The stem, fruit and upper part of a plant eventually become infected. Improving air circulation and disinfecting pruning shears helps control the disease."

"text": "\"Home »Trees Maple Fungal Disease in Norway By Tarah Damask; Updated September 21, 2017Fungal diseases can cause severe damage to your Norway maple, a tree that provides abundant shade and mixed interest of dark green foliage and subtle springtime bloom to your home gardening space. Avoid infection and the need for diagnostic control by providing consistent care or, if infection occurs, act quickly to manage fungi for continued health of your Norway maple. Prevention Norway trees kept vigorous have a much greater capacity for avoiding and recuperating from fungal disease than weakened or stressed trees. Grow your Norway maples in areas that offer full sunlight to light shade. Norway maples thrive in many types of soil provided that conditions are moist and extremely well drained, according to the University of Illinois Extension Hort Answers. Norway maples will tolerate dry soil but will not tolerate wet sites. Types Anthracnose is a fungal disease of Norway maple trees. Caused by a wide variety of disease pathogens that thrive in high moisture levels, anthracnose spores are spread on wind and water, infecting leaves, buds and stems. Verticillium wilt is another fungal disease of the Norway maple caused by the fungal pathogens Verticillium albo-atrum and Verticillium dahliae. This disease thrives in cool soil conditions and invades plants through their roots."

"text": "\"Home »Produce Plant Fungus Types By Charmayne Smith; Updated September 21, 2017Plant fungus is a common nuisance that most growers and gardeners encounter at one point or another. The fungus may appear on the foliage, near the base of the plant or even on the fruit and flowers of the plant. Though some fungal outbreaks can be a simple cosmetic hassle, other fungal outbreaks can cause permanent injury and even death of the plant. The fungal species that cause these outbreaks vary by the millions. Aside from the scientific jargon, there are a few ways to categorize plant fungus. Soil-Borne Fungus The soil-borne fungus is often the most destructive of the fungal diseases. These fungal diseases develop in the soil and live freely without a host plant. Once a plant is introduced into the area, the fungus attacks the plant through its root system, killing the tissues and cells that are responsible for transporting the water and nutrients throughout the plant’s system. This permanent damage causes dieback, wilting, and drooping as the tree starves for nutrients. These diseases, such as fusarium wilt and verticillium wilt, cannot be cured with fungicidal treatments and often cause the death of the plant."

"text": "Home »Trees Tree Fungus Diseases By Tanya Khan; Updated September 21, 2017Ornamental, deciduous, fruit and evergreen trees are susceptible to a variety of fungal diseases that ruin their appearance and health, and in extreme cases cause the tree to die. Tree fungus diseases spread through spores carried by wind, rain or irrigated water, insects or exposure to infected pruning equipment. The disease spreads to different parts of the same tree or from one tree to another. Tree fungi broadly fall into four groups. Foliage Diseases The most common tree diseases, foliage fungi affects leaves of trees of all varieties, sizes and ages. Brown spot is a common foliage fungal disease in evergreens such as fir and pine. Also called needle blight, the disease affects the needles of these trees, causing them to turn brown or discolor and eventually fall off. Dogwood anthracnose features blotches and tiny spots with purple rims on infected leaves that spread to the branches if untreated, causing the dogwood tree to die. Leaf blister, a disease common in foliage of oak trees, causes blisters on the leaves in spring. Another common disease that occurs on foliage of most trees is powdery mildew, a white growth on the surface."

"text": "A Brief List of Plant Diseases Caused by Fungi Fungi are responsible for approximately two-third of the infectious plant diseases. There are many plant diseases caused by fungi, like mildew, smuts, rusts, etc. Know more about them through this article. Fungi belong to a large and diverse group of microorganisms. They are actually cells that consist of a membrane-bound nucleus and are devoid of chlorophyll. They also have rigid cell walls. These fungi have a vegetative body, of which some parts extend into the air and others penetrate the substrate of the organisms that it grows on. Fungi propagate through sexual as well as asexual methods and spread through spores that are produced in abundance. These spores are transmitted on plants through wind, water, soil, birds, and insects. Once one of your plants is infected by a fungus, it is important that you protect your other plants from the fungal infection."

"text": "Tomato Plant Diseases And How To Identify A Disease In Tomato Plants Tomatoes By: Jackie Rhoades Printer Friendly Version Image by garlandcannon (on hiatus)From tiny grapes to huge, meaty beefeaters, it’s the most common home grown vegetable in America — the tomato . Diseases of tomato plants are of concern to every gardener whether they grow one plant in a patio pot or enough to can and freeze for the coming year. There are too many tomato plant diseases to list in one article, and the truth is many of them fall under the same types or categories of disease. In tomato plants in the home garden, the type or category and its symptoms is more important than the individual bacteria or virus, which can only be diagnosed through a professional laboratory. The following list of tomato diseases and their descriptions are broken into three categories. List of Tomato Diseases Fungus Based Tomato Plant Diseases This first list of tomato diseases are caused by fungi . Fungal attacks are probably the most common of tomato diseases. Easily transferred by air or physical contact, the spores can lay dormant through the winter to attack again when the weather warms. Blights – Early blight begins as small black lesions on the leaves and soon forms concentric rings like a target. This tomato disease’s tell tale mark is found at the stem end of the fruit which will turn black."

S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones 4 through 9. It can grow up to 70 feet tall, and is tolerant of deer, heat, air pollution and drought as well as soggy soil. Even though river birch has few problems, it can still come under attack from various fungus strains. Anthracnose Anthracnose is a common fungal disease affecting various deciduous and evergreen shrubs and trees, including the river birch. The fungus causing anthracnose requires water and does not spread during dry conditions. This means anthracnose generally occurs when wet weather is in abundance. The first signs of anthracnose are tar-like, black-colored spots on the foliage, and distorting and curling of leaves. Cankers may appear on branches and trunk of the river birch. No chemical control for anthracnose is available, but you can take steps to control the fungus and keep it from causing more damage. Remove infected branches with pruning shears, sanitizing the shears with a rubbing alcohol-saturated cloth after each cut."

Recognizing a disease or deficiency problem and selecting a workable solution is the best way to prevent or reduce the amount of crop loss. The most common plant diseases and nutrient deficiencies found in Manitoba and western Canada are examined for characteristics and control methods. Generally, plant diseases can be controlled by using resistant varieties, crop rotation, and in some cases, fungicide application. Nutrient deficiencies are usually corrected by an application of the absent nutrient. Forage Legume Diseases Alfalfa Black Stem Black stem is caused by the fungus Phoma medicaginis and is the most common disease found in Manitoba alfalfa crops. The fungus may infect all above ground parts of the plant as well as the root and crown area of the plant causing crown rot and a general decline in vigor. Numerous small black to dark brown spots develop on the lower leaves, petioles and stems in early spring. These may expand into extensive black areas. Infected leaves under severe attack turn yellow and fall prematurely."

"text": "Diseases and Disorders of Corn Disease management can be a real challenge. Disease outbreaks are dependent on three key factors, the presence and type of pathogen, the status of the host, and the environment that influences the pathogen and the corn plant. When all the factors interact in a suitable combination, disease can occur. To effectively manage corn for disease, it is preferable to prevent or manage a disease outbreak when the disease is at low levels, as opposed to attempting to deal with a disease in which significant damage has already occurred. Field scouting for disease throughout the growing season, planting disease-resistant varieties (if possible) and crop rotations can all reduce the likelihood of most disease outbreaks in the future. Field scouting on a weekly basis can provide information on what diseases are present, the severity, and potential for crop loss if untreated. There is no better way of determining the status of disease on a corn crop, than actually being in the field to view these problems for yourself, and make informed decisions on what management tactics should be employed. Reviewing the field history, identifying the diseases, and mapping the location of disease problems in the field, are all beneficial investments of time that will assist in the management of corn diseases. The decision on what variety/varieties of corn to grow can be a difficult, and accounting for disease resistance can increase the difficulty. In some cases, higher yield performance and a high level of disease resistance, may not be possible, (as in the cases of stalk rots) or resistant varieties simply may not be available."

"text": "\"V5 fungicide applications to corn Ag Professional April 17, 2011 06:07 PMPrint The benefit has been verified that a fungicide application near V5 stage of field corn growth can result in yield benefit in most situations. Of course, the amount of benefit varies based on the weather and the production practices of the individual corn grower. Technical and field trial investigation of applying a fungicide at the V5 stage of growth really increased starting in 2008, according to the fungicide manufacturers selling the most product in the corn market. BASF, the company that led the charge in fungicide application to corn with Headline fungicide, notes investigation of application timing at all stages of corn growth began in 2003. \"\" What we have seen historically and what we have continued to see is that the early timing of V5 or V6 vegetative growth stage fungicide applications have on average, across the board, resulted in yield response in the five-to-seven bushels range, said Nick Fassler, BASF, technical marketing manager, fungicides. Last year, Syngenta and Bayer Crop Science worked with a large number of corn growers to verify their products' abilities to help corn reach its yield potential by protecting the corn plant from early-season diseases. Bayer Crop Science conducted trials with its new Stratego YLD and saw farmer-field yield advantages greater than non-treated acres for a V3 to V6 application averaging 8.3 bushels per acre. The largest number of field trials in 2010 was conducted by Syngenta with a Quadris application between V4 and V8. Variation in application timing can be accounted for by Syngenta relying on farmer cooperator application in 166 total fungicide trials, not all of them limited to early-season timing. Of those trials with an early-season application, the overall national average was about six bushels per acre positive yield response."

Life Expectancy of a Sycamore Tree Because it's a deciduous tree, it's natural for your sycamore to drop its leaves each fall. However, if your tree's leaves are wilting and falling off soon after they emerge in spring, this is a sign of trouble. Sycamore species such as American sycamore (Plantanus occidentalis) and California sycamore (P. racemosa) are highly susceptible to the anthracnose fungus. Recognizing this disease is the first step to keeping your sycamores healthy. Identifying the Problem Although leaves falling off your tree at the wrong time of year often draws the most attention to anthracnose, the disease can be diagnosed before leaves emerge. Sycamores infected with anthracnose follow four stages. In the first, the tips of year-old twigs die back and small black spots will be visible on them. At the same time or soon after, newly formed buds will turn black and die."

These stately beauties belong to the Mallow (Malvaceae) family, which includes an unbelievable 1500 different species out of which 27 genera are found throughout North America. Members of this plant family have a distinctive look, so if you think that Hollyhocks remind you of Hibiscus (like I do), you’re not out of your mind. If you do an Internet search to find out where hollyhocks are hardy, you’ll find a consensus between sources, whether it be SF Gate Home Guides , Burpee Seeds, or Better Homes & Gardens, that hollyhocks are generally hardy between USDA hardiness zones 3 and 8. Let me qualify what I mean when I state they’re “generally hardy” in that hardiness range. Zone 3 encompasses an area at the far northern part of the United States. Winters are pretty extreme up there, and it’s hard to predict how cold temperatures will get in different regions of the country. That being said, I advise anyone who wants to plant hollyhocks in a place where winters are severe, to plant them in a location where they will have protection from polar vortexes. I would also cover the ground with a thick layer of mulch. The alternative is to plant them in containers, which is probably a better option if you live in a zone where permafrost is the norm."

In humans, diseases can be caused by the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Bacterial growth, however, is not mandatory to cause disease. For example, some bacterial pathogens cause disease by virtue of a toxic component of the bacterial cell such as lipopolysaccharide. Finally, the damaging symptoms of a disease can be the result of the attempts by the host's immune system to rid the body of the invader. One example is the immune-related damage caused to the lungs of those afflicted with cystic fibrosis, as the body unsuccessfully attempts to eradicate the chronic infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa ."

"text": "Live Science Mysteries What Is Anthrax? By Elizabeth Palermo, Associate Editor | June 26, 2013 11:26am ETMOREAnthrax bacteria live in soil and generally infect animals and farm workers. Credit: Carolina K. Smith MD | Shutterstock.com Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The bacteria live in soil and usually infect wild and domestic animals, such as goats, cattle and sheep. Anthrax outbreaks are fairly common worldwide and mostly affect agricultural workers. Humans become sick with the disease by handling animal products such as wool, hide or bone from animals infected with the anthrax bacterium. The most common form of the disease, cutaneous anthrax, is contracted when bacteria spores enter the body through a cut or scrape on the skin. Of the three forms of the disease — cutaneous, pulmonary and gastrointestinal — cutaneous anthrax is the easiest to treat with antibiotics. Anthrax can also be inhaled into the human respiratory tract — this pulmonary method of infection is most common among those who process wool and animal hides, according to the U. S. National Library of Medicine. Those with pulmonary anthrax are at risk of respiratory collapse and suffer the highest mortality rate of any anthrax victims, with 92 percent of cases resulting in death."

In This Article Abstract and Introduction Conclusions References Abstract and Introduction Abstract A variety of classic and emerging soil-related bacterial and fungal pathogens cause serious human disease that frequently presents in primary care settings. Typically, the growth of these microorganisms is favored by particular soil characteristics and may involve complex life cycles including amoebae or animal hosts. Specific evolved virulence factors or the ability to grow in diverse, sometimes harsh, microenvironments may promote pathogenesis. Infection may occur by direct inoculation or ingestion, ingestion of contaminated food, or inhalation. This narrative review describes the usual presentations and environmental sources of soil-related infections. In addition to tetanus, anthrax, and botulism, soil bacteria may cause gastrointestinal, wound, skin, and respiratory tract diseases. The systemic fungi are largely acquired via inhalation from contaminated soil and near-soil environments. These fungal infections are particularly life-threatening in those with compromised immune systems."

Human infections result from contact with contaminated animals or animal products, and there are no known cases of human-to-human transmission. Human anthrax is not common, and only one of us has seen a case. Cutaneous anthrax, the most common form, is usually curable. A small percentage of cutaneous infections become systemic, and these can be fatal.

It lives in soils worldwide at mesophilic temperatures (10). It can be grown in aerobic or anaerobic conditons (facultative anaerobe) in a medium with essential nutrients, including carbon and nitrogen sources (7). In 1877, this organism was the first to be shown to cause disease by Dr. Robert Koch and verified by Dr. Louis Pasteur. The organism was isolated from sick animals and grown in the laboratory to study endospore formation. It is similar to Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, and Bacillus thuringiensis in cellular size, morphology, and spore formation (7). Bacillus anthracis is an important organism to study genome sequence because it's used as a biological weapon (1)."

For febrile patients with acute neurologic deterioration with associated findings of dark necrotic pustules on the extremities, gram-positive rods in the cerebrospinal fluid, and multifocal areas of unexplained intracerebral hemorrhage on computed tomographic scans, anthrax should be considered within the differential diagnosis. A low cerebrospinal fluid glucose level has been reported, with gram-positive rods often noted on the gram stain of the cerebrospinal fluid in severely affected patients. Reports indicate that death usually occurs within a week. Given the recent public health concerns for the 11 confirmed cases of inhalational anthrax and 12 other cases of confirmed or suspected cutaneous anthrax, physicians need to be aware of the potential neurologic symptoms and complications associated with this rare disease. The few recent reports on sporadic cases that exist in the literature, including experimental studies in animals as well as a large exposure study in Russia, confirm that anthrax can manifest as an acute, rapidly progressive hemorrhagic meningoencephalitis. Neurologists must therefore be prepared to be on the front lines for potential confrontations with acute illness from this organism as well as other infectious diseases resulting from possible bioterrorism. The clinical features and treatment approaches for the few anthrax meningitis cases found in the modern medical literature are summarized in this article, along with the molecular and laboratory features of the disease."

He is remembered for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes and prevention of diseases, and his discoveries have saved many lives ever since. He reduced mortality from puerperal fever, and created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. His medical discoveries provided direct support for the germ theory of disease and its application in clinical medicine. He is best known to the general public for his invention of the technique of treating milk and wine to stop bacterial contamination, a process now called pasteurization. He is regarded as one of the three main founders of bacteriology, together with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch, and is popularly known as the \"\"father of microbiology\"\".

Anthrax toxin is a three- protein exotoxin secreted by virulent strains of the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis —the causative agent of anthrax. The toxin was first discovered by Harry Smith in 1954. [ 1] Anthrax toxin is composed of a cell-binding protein, known as protective antigen (PA), and two enzyme components, called edema factor (EF) and lethal factor (LF). These three protein components act together to impart their physiological effects. Assembled complexes containing the toxin components are endocytosed. In the endosome, the enzymatic components of the toxin translocate into the cytoplasm of a target cell. Once in the cytosol, the enzymatic components of the toxin disrupts various immune cell functions, namely cellular signaling and cell migration."

Context Students should extend their study of the healthy functioning of the human body and ways it may be promoted or disrupted by diet, lifestyle, bacteria, and viruses. After studying microbes, students should consider diseases and how they affect body systems. This lesson focuses on the bacterial disease known as Anthrax. Anthrax has been identified as a disease that infects primarily cattle. There are known cases of people contracting this disease directly from handling infected cattle. In light of recent terrorist attacks on the United States, the threat of Anthrax being used for germ warfare is prevalent. There are three ways to contract this potentially deadly disease: through skin contact, ingestion, and inhalation. In this online lesson, students will research the disease and its impact on human health. By the end of the lesson, students will have gained the knowledge that bacterial diseases may invade and damage different body systems."

Thanks!Gender is a Social Construction What does it mean to say “gender is a social construction”? Too much ink and internet time has already been spilled on such questions, but definitional issues and conceptual difficulties remain entrenched, even in academia where people should know better. A first issue is ongoing confusion around shorthand phrases like “gender is a social construction” or the phrase “ race is a social construction .” I avoid such shorthands. They too quickly lead to an assumption that by “gender is a social construction” there is a denial of reality. There is an implication that, as one biologist put it, people “generate their own truths based on their own experiences and imaginations. ”What “Gender is a Social Construction” Doesn’t Mean When we use shorthand phrases like “gender is a social construction” in courses like Introduction to Anthropology we arein no way denying that humans vary biologically in many different ways, or claiming that biology is irrelevant;not trying to say that these social effects are somehow not real or important; andnot saying that they are necessarily subject to extensive individual manipulation. Those shorthands simply indicate that many observed behavioral characteristics and life experiences are heavily influenced by social expectations, norms, and roles. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t real–they are quite real and can become biologically real as well."

One division, cultural anthropology, focuses on an understanding of the way that people live in different societies or cultures around the world. Cultural anthropologists often conduct studies of peoples whose customs are quite different from our own and they attempt to explain the reasons for these complex patterns of social behavior. Another division, archaeology, is concerned with understanding societies that existed in the past. Archaeologists excavate or survey the remains of societies that existed many thousands of years ago or the remains of societies from recent times.

In the early twentieth century the term was often used, in a taxonomic sense, to denote genetically differentiated human populations defined by phenotype. [ 1] [2]While biologists sometimes use the concept of race to make distinctions among fuzzy sets of traits, others in the scientific community suggest that the idea of race is often used [3] in a naive [4] or simplistic way, i.e. that among humans, race has no taxonomic significance: all living humans belong to the same species, Homo sapiens. [ 5] [6] Social conceptions and groupings of races vary over time, involving folk taxonomies [7] that define essential types of individuals based on perceived traits. Scientists consider biological essentialism obsolete, [8] and generally discourage racial explanations for collective differentiation in both physical and behavioral traits. [ 4] [9]Since the second half of the twentieth century the associations of race with the ideologies and theories that grew out of the work of 19th-century anthropologists and physiologists has led to the use of the word race itself becoming problematic. Although still used in general contexts, it is now often replaced by other words which are less emotionally charged, such as populations, people (s), ethnic groups or communities depending on context.

He was protected by adopting their mode of dress, by the fact that they had no telephones, and by their being a close-knit community united by shared values that differed from those of the larger society.

"text": "< IB Cultural Anthropology | The Nature of Anthropology This page may need to be reviewed for quality.navigation search Definition [ edit]All disciplines have assumptions. Empirical sciences are data-based and assume that theories can be formulated to explain that data. Empirical sciences also assume that data is neutral- which it is not. A paradigm is a result of these assumptions- it is the existing beliefs, practices, and general perspective of a discipline. The paradigm of a discipline is expressed through various products of the discipline such as laws, theories, generalizations, methods of collecting data, and methods of evaluating data. Paradigm Shift [ edit]Findings that do not fit within the existing paradigm may cause a paradigm shift may occur. This happened with Einstein’s theory of relativity. It was previously believed that time was constant throughout the universe. Einstein showed that it was not, so the paradigm shifted- now the belief is that time is a dimension like space. The Paradigm of Cultural Anthropology [ edit]Anthropology is comparative."

"text": "\"Difference Between Anthropology and Sociology• Categorized under Career & Education, Miscellaneous | Difference Between Anthropology and Sociology Anthropology vs Sociology The study of human beings can be the study of a lifetime. Trying to understand human behavior has been a task that has occupied some of the greatest thinkers of our race for thousands of years. Disciplined study of the human race has been taking place since the Renaissance. Today there are many fields and sub-fields of study. While humankind is the subject matter of all these fields the philosophical approach to study varies from discipline to discipline. It may not be apparent at first, but there are some differences between anthropology and sociology. Definition of Anthropology and Sociology Anthropology ‘“ is a social science that is concerned with human culture as well as the physical and social characteristics that create that culture. Often it will compare one group of humans to another or even compare humans with animals. Sociology ‘“ is a social science that studies the functionality of human society including origins, development, and organization. It will also look at these attributes inside institutions and organizations."

Contents [ hide ]1 Branches2 History3 Notable biological anthropologists4 See also5 References6 Further reading7 External links Branches [ edit]As a subfield of anthropology, biological anthropology itself is further divided into several branches. All branches are united in their common application of evolutionary theory to understanding human morphology and behavior. Paleoanthropology is the study of fossil evidence for human evolution, mainly using remains from extinct hominin and other primate species to determine the morphological and behavioral changes in the human lineage, as well as the environment in which human evolution occurred. Human biology is an interdisciplinary field of biology, biological anthropology, nutrition and medicine, which concerns international, population-level perspectives on health, evolution, anatomy, physiology, molecular biology, neuroscience, and genetics. Primatology is the study of non-human primate behavior, morphology, and genetics. Primatologists use phylogenetic methods to infer which traits humans share with other primates and which are human-specific adaptations. Human behavioral ecology is the study of behavioral adaptations (foraging, reproduction, ontogeny) from the evolutionary and ecologic perspectives (see behavioral ecology )."

Definition of Terms As the study of humankind, anthropology is broken down into many different subsets. One of these is linguistic anthropology, the study of language in the context of human social and cultural diversity in the past and the present. In simpler terms, it's the study of language and how it affects the way we all live. With all the different languages that fill our world, it's not surprising to know that linguistic anthropologists have their hands full trying to figure out how individual languages have shaped individual cultures."

One major premise of cultural evolution is the belief of “psychic unity of mankind.” This belief states that all humans share a similarity through of thought regardless of culture. 1 Many theories of cultural evolution were developed by Lewis Henry Morgan, who based them on assumptions that contemporary primitive cultures were like “living fossils,” giving witness to similar contemporary cultures in more advanced developmental stages. He also believed that all societies progress through the same evolutionary stages. 1These stages include three statuses of savagery, three statuses of barbarianism, and finally, the status of civilization. Let’s begin by looking at the Lower Status of Savagery: Savagery“ This period commenced with the infancy of the human race, and may be said to have ended with the acquisition of a fish subsistence and of a knowledge of the use of fire. Mankind were then living in their original restricted habitat, and subsisting upon fruits and nuts. The commencement of articulate speech belongs to this period. No exemplification of tribes of mankind in this condition remained to the historical period.”"

It'll be complicated because the terms 'emic' and 'etic' are unfamiliar to most of us. However, it'll be simple because, despite the way they sound, the emic and etic approaches to studying culture are rather easy to understand. With that confidence builder of sorts, let's get started. As already stated, the words 'emic' and 'etic' signify two different approaches used to study human cultures.

While their purposes and methodology are historically a bit different, there's been more crossover between anthropology and sociology lately. So while these are widely regarded as the basic differences between them, it's entirely possible for anthropologists to quantitative methods and sociologists to use qualitative methods, etc. Both fields are social sciences that study human beings and human behavior.

"text": "\"Culture Dictionary Home Anthro Base Home Bookmark, cite or print this page The term \"\"culture\"\" traces its roots back to German Romanticism and Herder 's idea of the Volksgeist (the \"\"spirit\"\" of a people), which was adapted for anthropological use by Adolf Bastian. From Bastian the term diffused (via Edward B. Tylor) into British anthropology (where it never received great prominence), and (via Franz Boas) into American anthropology (where it came to define the very subject-matter of anthropology ). Nevertheless, in one of the many paradoxical turns of the history of anthropology, it is Tylor's definition that is most often cited as classical. By Tylor, the term \"\"culture\"\" was used to denote the totality (see holism) of the humanly created world, from material culture and cultivated landscapes, via social institutions (political, religious, economic etc. ), to knowledge and meaning. Tylor's definition is still widely cited:\"\"Culture, or civilization, taken in its broad, ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.\"\" ( Tylor 1958 [1871]: 1)Often this is still what is meant by the term, though there have been a number of attempts at narrowing down the definition and giving it a less totalizing meaning. Two extremes may here be noted: (1) Within ecological anthropology there is a tendency to describe culture as a \"\"tool\"\" used by society to maintain its adaptation to nature. This \"\"tool\"\" comprises concrete, physical tools, but also knowledge, skills and forms of organization. A classical definition of this kind was offered by Rappaport (1968 [1980]: 233)."

The television show Bones is a prime example, as the main character, Dr. Brennan, is a forensic anthropologist. Even though the real world is quite a bit different from Hollywood, working in the field can be a very rewarding experience intellectually, emotionally, and financially. The duties of someone in this field can vary, as forensic anthropology careers can actually cover a few different territories. Often, they will work closely with law enforcement when trying to identify remains, particularly after natural disasters where there are mass casualties and the need for proper and fast identification is paramount. They can also help collect evidence at crime scenes and can help to identify the victims and the cause of death in criminal cases where they are working with skeletal remains. They have the ability to tell whether someone died due to homicide, accidental death, suicide, or natural causes. The skills that the anthropologist develops, through schooling and experience, help him or her to be able to determine information, such as sex, height, age, and more even from a limited set of remains. The anthropologist will work with other forensic specialists and law enforcement officers regularly. Some will only choose to work in the academic world, however, as they have options when it comes to forensic anthropology careers."

Through this lesson, you will learn what defines holism and explore some of the ways that it is used as a methodological approach to anthropology. What Is Holism? If you think about who you are and how you became you, what are the things that got you to this point? There are certainly biological factors and genetics, and a huge number of social and cultural elements that have shaped you, but can any one of these things be singled out as an explanation? It is more likely that you are the person that you are because of all of these elements working together in a particular time and place in order to produce the human being that is you. In anthropology, this perspective is known as holism, which is the philosophy that functional systems, like a body or a country, can't be explained or understood by looking at the individual pieces; rather, the individual pieces can only be understood by looking at the whole. If this seems like a confusing or vague definition, consider all of the things that make a car work properly. If you take out the battery or the transmission and look at them individually, there's nothing about them that will indicate how they make the car move, nor is it clear why they operate the way that they do. When you consider them as pieces of the entire car, however, you will be able to see that they work collectively with other parts in order to make the machine operate."

ANTH17721G - Introduction to Anthropology Students explore the discipline of anthropology. Students address what it means to be human in contemporary society, as well as in different times and different places, by examining the five major subfields of anthropology: biological anthropology, archaeology, linguistic anthropology, socio-cultural anthropology, and applied anthropology. Students assess how anthropologists use information about our beliefs, fears, modes of communication, behaviours, lifestyles, activity, diet, and health, gathered from various sources in the past and present, to gain a holistic perspective on human diversity and our own evolutionary history. Students examine how the relationship between culture, biology and the environment has shaped the evolution of the human species, our hominin ancestors, and living primates. Through a variety of teaching modalities including lecture, discussion, experiential activities, documentaries and case studies students will develop skills that will help them better understand themselves, others and the world around them CULT10025G – The Culture of Photography In this course students develop and gain an artistic understanding and appreciation of the culture of photography. Students focus on the evolution and history of the medium with special emphasis on the creative aspects of photography."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Systems thinking)navigation search Systems theory is the interdisciplinary study of systems. A system is a cohesive conglomeration of interrelated and interdependent parts that is either natural or man-made. Every system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose or nature and expressed in its functioning. In terms of its effects, a system can be more than the sum of its parts if it expresses synergy or emergent behavior. Changing one part of the system usually affects other parts and the whole system, with predictable patterns of behavior. For systems that are self-learning and self-adapting, the positive growth and adaptation depend upon how well the system is adjusted with its environment. Some systems function mainly to support other systems by aiding in the maintenance of the other system to prevent failure. The goal of systems theory is systematically discovering a system's dynamics, constraints, conditions and elucidating principles (purpose, measure, methods, tools, etc.) that can be discerned and applied to systems at every level of nesting, and in every field for achieving optimized equifinality. [ 1]General systems theory is about broadly applicable concepts and principles, as opposed to concepts and principles applicable to one domain of knowledge."

Ethnography is a form of research focusing on the sociology of meaning through close field observation of sociocultural phenomena. Typically, the ethnographer focuses on a community (not necessarily geographic, considering also work, leisure, and other communities), selecting informants who are known to have an overview of the activities of the community. Such informants are asked to identify other informants representative of the community, using chain sampling to obtain a saturation of informants in all empirical areas of investigation. Informants are interviewed multiple times, using information from previous informants to elicit clarification and deeper responses upon re-interview. This process is intended to reveal common cultural understandings related to the phenomena under study. These subjective but collective understandings on a subject (ex., stratification) are often interpreted to be more significant than objective data (ex.,"

Ethnography, as the empirical data on human societies and cultures, was pioneered in the biological, social, and cultural branches of anthropology but has also become popular in the social sciences in general—sociology, communication studies, history—wherever people study ethnic groups, formations, compositions, resettlements, social welfare characteristics, materiality, spirituality, and a people's ethnogenesis.

The differences are in the points of view that guide their inquiries. Modern atomic physicists, for example, might view a person as a perpetual dance of atomic particles. Engineers working with automobile safety are concerned with the effects of mass and inertia on the human body in accidents; and microbiologists see the human being as a mass of corpuscles, cells, and bacterial organisms. The questions scholars ask of their data are based in part on their own interests and experiences and in part on the kinds of questions other scholars in their fields are asking in conjunction with the theories that have developed within their disciplines. In short, a discipline is a point of view, a way of looking at things. What questions do anthropologists ask? What are their primary interests and theoretical orientations?

Learning theories are conceptual frameworks describing how knowledge is absorbed, processed, and retained during learning.

[ 2] [3]Behaviorists look at learning as an aspect of conditioning and will advocate a system of rewards and targets in education. Educators who embrace cognitive theory believe that the definition of learning as a change in behavior is too narrow and prefer to study the learner rather than their environment and in particular the complexities of human memory. Those who advocate constructivism believe that a learner's ability to learn relies to a large extent on what he already knows and understands, and the acquisition of knowledge should be an individually tailored process of construction. Transformative learning theory focuses upon the often-necessary change that is required in a learner's preconceptions and world view. Geographical learning theory focuses on the ways in which contexts and environments shape the learning process.

Animism (from Latin anima, \"\" breath, spirit, life \"\") [1] [2] is the religious belief that objects, places and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. [ 3] [4] [5] [6] Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Animism is used in the anthropology of religion as a term for the belief system of many indigenous peoples, [7] especially in contrast to the relatively more recent development of organised religions. [ 8] Although each culture has its own different mythologies and rituals, \"\"animism\"\" is said to describe the most common, foundational thread of indigenous peoples' \"\"spiritual\"\" or \"\"supernatural\"\" perspectives. The animistic perspective is so widely held and inherent to most indigenous peoples that they often do not even have a word in their languages that corresponds to \"\"animism\"\" (or even \"\"religion\"\"); [9] the term is an anthropological construct. Largely due to such ethnolinguistic and cultural discrepancies, opinion has differed on whether animism refers to an ancestral mode of experience common to indigenous peoples around the world, or to a full-fledged religion in its own right. The currently accepted definition of animism was only developed in the late 19th century by Sir Edward Tylor, who created it as \"\"one of anthropology 's earliest concepts, if not the first\"\". [ 10]Animism encompasses the beliefs that all material phenomena have agency, that there exists no hard and fast distinction between the spiritual and physical (or material) world and that soul or spirit or sentience exists not only in humans, but also in other animals, plants, rocks, geographic features such as mountains or rivers or other entities of the natural environment, including thunder, wind and shadows. Animism thus rejects Cartesian dualism [ citation needed]. Animism may further attribute souls to abstract concepts such as words, true names or metaphors in mythology."

Lee Lyman, 1 Alex Mesoudi, 2and Todd L. Van Pool 1Author information ► Copyright and License information ►This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. Go to: Abstract Cultural traits have long been used in anthropology as units of transmission that ostensibly reflect behavioural characteristics of the individuals or groups exhibiting the traits. After they are transmitted, cultural traits serve as units of replication in that they can be modified as part of an individual's cultural repertoire through processes such as recombination, loss or partial alteration within an individual's mind. Cultural traits are analogous to genes in that organisms replicate them, but they are also replicators in their own right. No one has ever seen a unit of transmission, either behavioural or genetic, although we can observe the effects of transmission. Fortunately, such units are manifest in artefacts, features and other components of the archaeological record, and they serve as proxies for studying the transmission (and modification) of cultural traits, provided there is analytical clarity over how to define and measure the units that underlie this inheritance process. Keywords: cultural traits, cultural transmission, ideational units, classes, design space Go to:1. Introduction Cultural traits are units of transmission that permit diffusion and create traditions—patterned ways of doing things that exist in identifiable form over extended periods of time. As with genes, cultural traits are subject to recombination, copying error, and the like and thus can be the foundation for the production of new traits."

It is also the study of the history of various ethnic groups that may or may not exist today. Ethnohistory uses both historical and ethnographic data as its foundation. Its historical methods and materials go beyond the standard use of documents and manuscripts. Practitioners recognize the utility of such source material as maps, music, paintings, photography, folklore, oral tradition, site exploration, archaeological materials, museum collections, enduring customs, language, and place names. Overview As Harkin (2010) argues, ethnohistory was part of the general rapprochement between history and anthropology in the late 20th century of mid-twentieth-century social science. In the U. S. the field arose out of the study of American Indian communities required by the Indian Claims Commission. It gained a pragmatic rather than a theoretical orientation, with practitioners testifying both in favor of and against Indian claims. The emerging methodology used documentary historical sources and ethnographic methods. It was a leader in involving women scholars."

A more detailed description would possibly point to four basic aspects and levels of anthroposophy:1. Anthroposophy is a spiritual philosophy, mainly developed by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It is born out of a philosophy of freedom, living at the core of anthroposophy. For more on anthroposophy and Rudolf Steiner from this perspective, see here , here and here.2. It is a path of knowledge or spiritual research, developed on the basis of European idealistic philosophy, rooted in the philosophies of Aristotle, Plato , and Thomas Aquinas. It is primarily defined by its method of research, and secondly by the possible knowledge or experiences this leads to. From this perspective, anthroposophy can also be called spiritual science. As such, it is an effort to develop not only natural scientific, but also a spiritual scientific research on the basis of the idealistic tradition, in the spirit of the historical strivings, that have led to the development of modern science. On this basis, anthroposophy strives to bridge the clefts that have developed since the Middle Ages between the sciences, the arts and the religious strivings of man as the three main areas of human culture, and build the foundation for a synthesis of them for the future."

Myofascial release (MFR, self-myofascial release) is an alternative medicine therapy that claims to treat skeletal muscle immobility and pain by relaxing contracted muscles, improving blood and lymphatic circulation, and stimulating the stretch reflex in muscles. [ 1]Fascia is a thin, tough, elastic type of connective tissue that wraps most structures within the human body, including muscle. Fascia supports and protects these structures. Osteopathic theory proposes that this soft tissue can become restricted due to psychogenic disease, overuse, trauma, infectious agents, or inactivity, often resulting in pain, muscle tension, and corresponding diminished blood flow.

[ 3] The poor quality of research into the use of myofascial release for orthopaedic conditions precludes any conclusions being drawn about its usefulness for this purpose. [ 2]In 2011, the UK Advertising Standards Authority upheld a complaint regarding the effectiveness claims published in an advertising leaflet produced by the Myofascial Release UK health care service. The ASA Council ruled that materials presented by Myofascial Release UK in support of the claims made in their ad were inadequate to establish a \"\"body of robust scientific evidence\"\" to substantiate Myofascial Release UK's range of claims.

It is important to understand what we are as human beings. The present state of knowledge of the human being is one which has been informed by the materialistic reductionist thinking of modern technological science. It is commonplace for people generally to think of the human body as being merely an elaborate machine, with all the non-material aspects of the human being- thinking, feeling, attitudes, emotions, mores, imagination, etc., etc, as being merely the result of the physico-chemical activities which take place in the physical body. However, the human organism is not a machine and does not operate under the aegis of chemical and physical laws. An important statement made by Rudolf Steiner in this context, given in a lecture series published as \"\"Man as Symphony of the Creative Word\"\", (Rudolf Steiner Press, London, 1970, pp. 188-189) in 1923, eloquently illustrates the problem: \"\" Wouldst thou heal man, look into the world on every side, see on every side how the world evolves processes of healing. Wouldst thou know the secrets of the world in the processes of illness and healing, look into the depths of human nature. You can apply this to every aspect of man's being, but you must direct your gaze outwards to the great world of nature and see man in a living relationship to this great world."

[ 6] [7] Steiner gained initial recognition at the end of the nineteenth century as a literary critic and published philosophical works including The Philosophy of Freedom. At the beginning of the twentieth century he founded an esoteric spiritual movement, anthroposophy, with roots in German idealist philosophy and theosophy; other influences include Goethean science and Rosicrucianism. In the first, more philosophically oriented phase of this movement, Steiner attempted to find a synthesis between science and spirituality. [ 8] His philosophical work of these years, which he termed \"\" spiritual science \"\", sought to apply the clarity of thinking characteristic of Western philosophy to spiritual questions, [9]: 291 differentiating this approach from what he considered to be vaguer approaches to mysticism. In a second phase, beginning around 1907, he began working collaboratively in a variety of artistic media, including drama, the movement arts (developing a new artistic form, eurythmy) and architecture, culminating in the building of the Goetheanum, a cultural centre to house all the arts. [ 10] In the third phase of his work, beginning after World War I, Steiner worked to establish various practical endeavors, including Waldorf education, biodynamic agriculture, [11] and anthroposophical medicine. [ 12]Steiner advocated a form of ethical individualism, to which he later brought a more explicitly spiritual approach."

In a slightly modified form, it can also be applied therapeutically, similar to the way the painting can be applied as a form of therapy, known as Art Therapy. Images Quotes Rudolf Steiner: That is the essential point — that Eurythmy is visible speech, visible music. One can go even further and maintain that the movements of Eurythmy do actually proceed out of the inner organisation of man. Anyone who says: “As far as I am concerned, speech and music are all-sufficient; there can surely be no need to extend the sphere of art; I, for my part, have not the slightest wish for Eurythmy”; — such a man is, of course, perfectly right from his particular point of view. There is always a certain justification for any opinion, however conventional or pedantic. Why should one not hold such opinions? There is certainly no reason why one should not — none at all; but it cannot be said that such a standpoint shows any really deep artistic feeling and understanding. A truly artistic nature welcomes everything that could possibly serve to widen and enrich the whole field of art."

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines traditional medicine as \"\"the sum total of the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures, whether explicable or not, used in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, improvement or treatment of physical and mental illness\"\". [ 1]In some Asian and African countries, up to 80% of the population relies on traditional medicine for their primary health care needs. When adopted outside its traditional culture, traditional medicine is often called alternative medicine. [ 1] Practices known as traditional medicines include Ayurveda, Siddha medicine, Unani, ancient Iranian medicine, Iranian (Persian), Islamic medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Korean medicine, acupuncture, Muti, Ifá, and traditional African medicine. Core disciplines which study traditional medicine include herbalism, ethnomedicine, ethnobotany, and medical anthropology. The WHO notes, however, that \"\"inappropriate use of traditional medicines or practices can have negative or dangerous effects\"\" and that \"\"further research is needed to ascertain the efficacy and safety\"\" of several of the practices and medicinal plants used by traditional medicine systems. [ 1] The line between alternative medicine and quackery is a contentious subject. Traditional medicine may include formalized aspects of folk medicine, that is to say longstanding remedies passed on and practised by lay people. Folk medicine consists of the healing practices and ideas of body physiology and health preservation known to some in a culture, transmitted informally as general knowledge, and practiced or applied by anyone in the culture having prior experience.

Anthroposophic Medicine (Anthropos = human being: Sophia = wisdom) is a form of complementary medicine developed by Rudolf Steiner that views the entire human being (mind/body/spirit) in its relationship to the universe in treating illness. It is a holistic and human-centered approach to medicine that uses knowledge of the laws of the living organism, the psyche, and the spirit. There are different views of development for the individual such as seven year developmental cycles and the interplay between the different organs and the biorhythms. This theory is a basis of the Waldorf schools original concept for childhood development. All anthroposophic medicines are designed to stimulate the patient’s powers of self-healing. The emphasis is on restoring the balance of bodily functions and strengthening the forces of individualization in the person. Most medicines are low homeopathic dilutions of materials from the plant, mineral and animal kingdoms. These are formulated and applied in order to bring harmony and balance to the system. Bookmark."

"text": "What is Waldorf Early Childhood Education? Essential Characteristics of Steiner/Waldorf Education for the Child from Birth to Seven The future development of each individual child and of humanity as a whole depends on health-giving experiences in the first seven years of life. An atmosphere of loving warmth and guidance that promotes joy, wonder, and reverence supports such healthy development. The most essential aspect of the work with the little child is the inner attitude of the educator, who provides the example for the child’s imitation. Therefore the work of the Waldorf educator demands an ongoing process of research and self-education including anthroposophical study, meditative practice, artistic and practical activity. In Waldorf nursery-kindergartens, home care programs, childcare centers, parent-child programs and other settings, foundations are laid for later learning and healthy development, including life-long physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual growth. This education, based on an understanding of the development of human individuality, offers protection and respect for the dignity of childhood. It includes an understanding of the unfolding development of the child from pre-birth to seven, including the unique significance of the development of walking, speaking and thinking in the first three years of life. Activities in Waldorf early childhood education take into consideration the age-specific developmental needs of young children, from a focus on will-oriented physical activity in the first three years, then on imaginative play in the middle years of early childhood, and later a more cognitive approach to learning after the child enters school. Educational Principles Waldorf based programs may differ according to geography, culture, group size, age-range, and individual teaching approach."

[ 6]Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Branches3 Trauma4 Organizations5 Cautions6 See also7 References8 Further reading9 External links History [ edit]Wilhelm Reich and the post-Reichians are considered the central element of body psychotherapy. [ 7] From the 1930s Reich became known for the idea that muscular tension reflected repressed emotions, what he called 'body armour', and developed a way to use pressure to produce emotional release in his clients. [ 8] Reich was expelled from the psychoanalytic mainstream and his work found a home in the 'growth movement' of the 1960s and 1970s and in the countercultural project of 'liberating the body'. [ 8] Perhaps as a result, body psychotherapy was marginalised within mainstream psychology and was seen in the 1980s and 1990s as 'the radical fringe of psychotherapy'. [ 9] Body psychotherapy's marginal position may be connected with the tendency for charismatic leaders to emerge within it, from Reich onwards. [ 10]Alexander Lowen in his Bioenergetic analysis and John Pierrakos in Core energetics extended Reich's finding of the segmented nature of body armour: \"\"The muscular armour has a segmented arrangement...always transverse to the torso, never along it\"\". [ 11] [12] Lowen claimed that \"\"No words are so clear as the language of body expression\"\". [ 13] Subsequently the Chiron approach added influences from Gestalt therapy. ["

"text": "The Role of the Teacher-Artist in the Seven Fold Waldorf Schoolclick here for a pdf of the article Education is a cultural affair. Waldorf schools pursue a holistic, child-centered ideal; to maintain and engender creative capacities within children. It does this via art -not that the goal is to be an art school, but to permeate the curriculum with artistic activity. This means that all Waldorf educators must be artists; that all their teaching activity, regardless of subject taught, is filled with living artistry. Waldorf schools, however, are made up of more than just teachers and children. They are institutions, whose purpose is to create a space for the teacher and child to meet. How can we understand the role the teachers play within the organization of a Waldorf school as cultural institution? The words addressed to the teachers by Rudolf Steiner at the founding of the first Waldorf school in Stuttgart, and which has subsequently been used as a meditative picture within colleges of teachers, gives us an image of what stands behind a striving group of educators. Behind each individual stands their angel; above that is the working of the archangels; above that again is the wisdom-working activity of the archai. Steiner was reminding the teachers they were not alone; that collegiality includes more than their personal selves."

A codon-basically a triplet code base-pair found in the transcription of m RNA. An anticodon-basically a triplet code that corresponds to a codon like that of DNA. For example: if a codon was AUG, than an anticodon would be UAC (remember that in RNA, there is no thymine (T), but Uracil (U)). It's function in translation (translation is the next step after the transcription of m RNA when the codons imply anticodons and amino acids arrive to build up a polypeptide) is to direct amino acids to arrive and come on the upper portion of the t RNA. They may signal the polypeptide translation to begin or stop. The whole main goal of translation is to make up a protein out of directions written out by codons and anticodons.

George Gamow, a mathematician, said that codons must be triplet based on a very intuitive permutations problem. We know that there are 20 naturally-occurring aminoacids. Somehow, we need to code for all 20 using only 4 nucleotides: A, U, G and C. If our code was duplet, we would have 4^2 = 16 possible codons. This is clearly not enough. If our code was triplet, we would have 4^3 = 64 possible codons, which is more than enough. So our codon must be triplet. Moreover, since we have more codons than aminoacids, one aminoacid can be coded for by more than one codon. Biologists painstakingly experimented until they had figured out the complete code."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology Where are codons and anticodons found and how is their relationship crucial to protein synthesis? Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Codons are the m RNA triplets of nucleotides (i.e. AUG, CUG, etc) that are made by DNA (transcription). DNA is in the nucleus and makes a strand of m RNA. This m RNA leaves the nucleus and goes out into the cytoplasm and binds to a ribosome. These m RNA codons are complementary to triplets of nucleotides in a t RNA molecule (anticodon) which is out in the cytoplasm of the cell. This t RNA anticodon brings the amino acid that it codes for into the ribosome (translation) to join with other amino acids to eventually become a protein. These relationships - DNA to m RNA (transcription) and m RNA with t RNA (translation) are what direct the process of protein sythesis. The base pairing of the nucleotides from a DNA codon to a m RNA codon and from m RNA to a t RNA anticodon are what determine the sequence of amino acids in the protein.

Each codon eg ATT, GCA etc is then transcribed into RNA so that you have AUU, GCT etc. In RNA the triplets are called anti-codons to distinquish them from DNA. Each triplet corresponds to an amino acid - there are 64 codons but 20 amino acids - therefore in some cases several codons will code for the same amino acid. Other codons mean start and stop. Once the RNA is out the nucleus it heads for a ribosome which is the machine that translates the RNA into protein. It does this by feeding the RNA through itself, and as each RNA anticodon centres in the ribosome, a t RNA carrying the corresponding amino acid will be able to bind in a complementary fashion to the RNA, and the amino acid will be joined to the next amino acid and so on until you get a string of them called a polypeptide or protein.

How do they work? What produces the unique phenotype associated with a specific allele? Answers from physics, chemistry, and the study of infectious disease gave rise to the field of molecular biology. Biochemical reactions are controlled by enzymes , and often are organized into chains of reactions known as metabolic pathways. Loss of activity in a single enzyme can inactivate an entire pathway. Archibald Garrod, in 1902, first proposed the relationship through his study of alkaptonuria and its association with large quantities \"\"alkapton\"\". He reasoned unaffected individuals metabolized \"\"alkapton\"\" (now called homogentistic acid) to other products so it would not buildup in the urine. Garrod suspected a blockage of the pathway to break this chemical down, and proposed that condition as \"\"an inborn error of metabolism\"\". He also discovered alkaptonuria was inherited as a recessive Mendelian trait."

The frequency of nontaster and taster allele is found to be varied within different populations. This trait also has been revealed to associate with numbers of dietary preferences and accordingly could have significant implications for the human health. Aim and objectives: to investigate the Allele frequency of the ability to bitter taste perception of phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) by using restriction digestion (Fnu4H1) within our class group. Material and Method: the present investigation conducted by 57 pariciptants from the students. This practical work then has been extended through bioinformatics to understand the process through analysing of the genetic differences. Results: it was found that tasters were more frequent with heterozygous taster allele frequency (Tt) 56.41% and homozygous taster 8.77% than the nontaster allele (tt)frequency 35%."

Thus, as fascism coalesced into a coherent ideology, a militant leftist opposition sprouted in response.

"text": "\"Fascism and its Political Ideas Fascism is a form of counter-revolutionary politics that first arose in the early part of the twentieth-century in Europe. It was a response to the rapid social upheaval, the devastation of World War I, and the Bolshevik Revolution. Fascism is a philosophy or a system of government the advocates or exercises a dictatorship of the extreme right, typically through the merging of state and business leadership, together with an ideology of aggressive nationalism. Celebrating the nation or the race as an organic community surpassing all other loyalties. This right-wing philosophy will even advocate violent action to maintain this loyalty which is held in such high regards. Fascism approaches politics in two central areas, populist and elitist. Populist in that it seeks to activate \"\"the people\"\" as a whole against perceived oppressors or enemies and to create a nation of unity. The elitist approach treats as putting the people's will on one select group, or most often one supreme leader called El Duce, from whom all power proceeds downward. The two most recognized names that go along with Fascism are Italy's Benito Mussolini and Germany's Adolf Hitler. The philosophy of Fascism can be traced to the philosophers who argue that the will is prior to and superior to the intellect or reason."

"text": "\"Mises Daily Articles A ALiberalism vs. Fascism11/25/2005 Roderick T. Long Fascism differs from its close cousins, Communism and aristocratic conservatism, in several important ways. To understand these differences is to see how classical liberalism offers a completely different view of social and economic organization, a perspective that departs radically from the views of both right and left, as those terms are understood in contemporary political language. Let's begin with its difference from Communism. First, where Communism seeks to substitute the state for private ownership, fascism seeks to incorporate or co-opt private ownership into the state apparatus through public-private partnership. Thus fascism tends to be more tempting than Communism to wealthy interests who may see it as a way to insulate their economic power from competition through forced cartelization and other corporatist stratagems. Second, where Communist ideology tends to be cosmopolitan and internationalist, fascist ideology tends to be chauvinistically nationalist, stressing a particularist allegiance to one's country, culture, or ethnicity; along with this goes a suspicion of rationalism, a preference for economic autarky, and a view of life as one of inevitable but glorious struggle. Fascism also tends to cultivate a \"\"folksy\"\" or völkisch \"\"man of the people,\"\" \"\"pragmatism over principles,\"\" \"\"heart over head,\"\" \"\"pay no attention to those pointy-headed intellectuals\"\" rhetorical style. These contrasts with Communism should not be overstated, of course. Communist governments cannot afford to suppress private ownership entirely, since doing so leads swiftly to economic collapse. Moreover, however internationalist and cosmopolitan Communist regimes may be in theory, they tend to be just as chauvinistically nationalist in practice as their fascist cousins; while on the other hand fascist regimes are sometimes perfectly willing to pay lip service to liberal universalism."

A significant number of scholars agree that a \"\"fascist regime\"\" is foremost an authoritarian form of government, although not all authoritarian regimes are fascist. Authoritarianism is thus a defining characteristic, but most scholars will say that more distinguishing traits are needed to make an authoritarian regime fascist. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]Similarly, fascism as an ideology is also hard to define. Originally, it referred to a totalitarian political movement linked with corporatism which existed in Italy from 1922 to 1943 under the leadership of Benito Mussolini. Many scholars use the word \"\"fascism\"\" without capitalization in a more general sense, to refer to an ideology (or group of ideologies) which was influential in many countries at many different times. For this purpose, they have sought to identify what Roger Griffin calls a \"\"fascist minimum\"\"—that is, the minimum conditions that a certain political movement must meet in order to be considered \"\"fascist\"\". [ 3] According to most scholars of fascism, there are both left and right influences on fascism as a social movement, and fascism, especially once in power, has historically attacked communism, conservatism and liberalism. Scholars have inspected the apocalyptic, millennial and millenarianism aspects of fascism.

On 30 January 1933 this terror was made legal. By February SA and SS units were being deployed as auxiliary police officers and given official powers. Their fight against the labour movement had become an officially sanctioned state policy. Brutal attacks and murders of well-known anti-fascist activists followed immediately after Hitler’s ascension to power. Hit most quickly and most heavily by Nazi repression was the Communist Party (KPD). Nazi thugs stormed and closed the KPD headquarters, the Karl Liebknecht House, on 23 February 1933 and banned their newspaper, Die Rote Fahne, a few days later. The burning of parliament on 27 February was used to justify yet another wave of terror against the left. Over 1,500 Communists were arrested that night in Berlin alone."

Create a free account Maybe later Sort Liberalism Liberalism is a political ideology whose central theme is a commitment to the individual and to the construction of the society in which individuals can satisfy their interests or achieve fulfilment. The core values of liberalism are individualism, rationalism, freedom, justice and toleration. The liberal belief that human beings are, first and foremost, individuals, endowed with reason, implies that each individual should enjoy the maximum possible freedom consistent with a like freedom for all. However, although individuals are 'born equal' in the sense that they are of equal moral worth and should enjoy formal equality and equal opportunities, liberals generally stress that they should be rewarded according to their differing levels of talent or willingness to work and therefore favour the principle of meritocracy. A liberal society is characterised by diversity and pluralism and is organised politically around the twin values of consent and constitutionalism, combined to form the structures of liberal democracy. Conservatism Conservatism, as a political attitude, is defined by the desire to conserve and is reflected in a resistance to, or at least suspicion of, change. However, although the desire to resist change may be the recurrent theme within conservatism, what distinguishes conservatism as an ideology from rival political creeds is the distinctive way in which this position is upheld. The central themes of conservative ideology are tradition, human imperfection, organic society, authority and property."

It was finally disbanded in 1940 after it was proscribed by the British government, following the start of the Second World War. The BUF emerged in 1932 from the British far-right, following the electoral defeat of its antecedent, the New Party, in the 1931 general election. The BUF's foundation was initially met with popular support and developed a sizeable following. The press baron Lord Rothermere was a notable early supporter. As the party became increasingly radical, however, support declined. The Olympia Rally of 1934, in which a number of anti-Fascist protestors were attacked, isolated the party from much of its following. The party's embrace of Nazi -style anti-semitism in 1936 led to increasingly violent clashes with opponents, notably the 1936 Battle of Cable Street in London 's East End. The Public Order Act 1936, which banned political uniforms and responded to increasing political violence, had a particularly strong effect on the BUF whose supporters were known as \"\"Blackshirts\"\" after the uniforms they wore."

In Italy, Benito Mussolini used his charisma to establish a powerful fascist state. Benito Mussolini coined the term “fascism” in 1919 to describe his political movement. He adopted the ancient Roman fasces as his symbol. This was a bundle of rods tied around an ax, which represented the power of Rome. Mussolini established the first fascist regime, followed soon after by others, including Nazi Germany. Fascism, however, differed somewhat from one nation to another. Thus, scholars often disagree on a precise definition of fascism. Even so, they tend to agree on its common characteristics such as: Absolute Power of the State: Fascist regimes have a strong centralized state, or national government."

"text": "TRIBUNE1944Of all the unanswered questions of our time, perhaps the most important is: ‘What is Fascism?’One of the social survey organizations in America recently asked this question of a hundred different people, and got answers ranging from ‘pure democracy’ to ‘pure diabolism’. In this country if you ask the average thinking person to define Fascism, he usually answers by pointing to the German and Italian régimes. But this is very unsatisfactory, because even the major Fascist states differ from one another a good deal in structure and ideology. It is not easy, for instance, to fit Germany and Japan into the same framework, and it is even harder with some of the small states which are describable as Fascist. It is usually assumed, for instance, that Fascism is inherently warlike, that it thrives in an atmosphere of war hysteria and can only solve its economic problems by means of war preparation or foreign conquests. But clearly this is not true of, say, Portugal or the various South American dictatorships. Or again, antisemitism is supposed to be one of the distinguishing marks of Fascism; but some Fascist movements are not antisemitic. Learned controversies, reverberating for years on end in American magazines, have not even been able to determine whether or not Fascism is a form of capitalism. But still, when we apply the term ‘Fascism’ to Germany or Japan or Mussolini's Italy, we know broadly what we mean. It is in internal politics that this word has lost the last vestige of meaning."

However, when spelled as \"\"Fascism\"\" with a capital F, it refers to the specific regime in 20th century Italy under Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. Nazism, which was the predominant ideology in Germany from the 1930s to the 1940s, can be viewed as a more specific type of fascism (with a lower-case f). Not all fascists are Nazis, but it would be all but required to support fascist ideology in order to be a true Nazi. Fascists are not necessarily racist, which is contrary to the anti-Semitic doctrines which are at the core of Nazi ideology. The central theme of Fascism is the state. The state is supreme and everything revolves around the state. The central theme of Nazism is the race."

"text": "\"Sophie Dockx, Recovering grandchild of fascists Updated Feb 25, 2017 · Author has 624 answers and 508.1k answer views They both started as popular movements that later developed ideologies which made them into populist political parties, that eventually came to power in several parts of the world where they instituted totalitarian dictatorships, none of which lasted longer than half a century. At the end stages of their paths of ascent, you could indeed call fascism and communism ‘systems’ and justifiably conclude that the differences between the two seem rather superficial. George Orwell’s 1984 describes the end stage of a totaliarian regime. Although 1984 is an obvious work of fiction, I believe his mixing up of fascist and communist elements of ideology and methodology is quite forgivable, since the paths of ascent of communism and fascism ultimately lead to the same end result. Fascism and communism however start from completely different points of departure. Yet, as they get under way the last thing their followers imagine their movement to end up as is exactly what they always ultimately end up as: crystallised societies devoid of all meaningful interpersonal interaction. That is because they are both idealist movements. They have designed themselves a just society, which they seek to copy straight onto reality, like an overambitious sculptor working from a sketch on paper, hacking away at a tough piece of granite with great force. Driven by will rather than skill, and led by faith rather than by thought. Eventually, the granite and not the sketch will decide what the end result will be like."

"text": "You are here: World History Online > Modern History > Difference between Fascism and Nazism Difference between Fascism and Nazism Fascism and Nazism were very similar yet very different at the same time. The main difference between Fascism and Nazism was the so-called concept of race that was central in the Nazi ideology, while the Fascists mostly rejected it. Fascism and Nazism, the two extreme right-wing political ideologies that emerged during the World Wars in Italy and Germany, respectively, had a lot in common. Both were influenced by the rise of nationalism, fear from communism, crisis of the capitalist economic system and dissatisfaction with the outcome of World War I. Both ideologies were also marked by the cult of the leader, use of violence and rejection of both democracy and communism although both borrowed several elements from the Russian communism including the cell system and strict hierarchy, while Mussolini’s corporatist theory and rejection of individualism was very similar to the Soviet economic system in the first half of the 20th century. There were several important differences between Fascism and Nazism, and rejection of the concept of race and anti-Semitism is what differentiated the fascist ideology from Nazism the most. Mussolini later incorporated the concept of race into his doctrine but he never fully developed it. Fascism was fueled by nationalism as well but it did not reject other nationalities, of course, under condition that they accepted the culture and language of “the superior nation“. Mussolini focused on territorial expansion rather than creation of ethnically “clean“ Italian state. When he finally introduced the anti-Semitic laws and declared Italians the descendants of the “Aryan race“ in 1938, they were perceived as un-Italian and even un-Fascist. During the World War II, the Italian fascist deported the Jews into prisons and concentration camps as well but the Italian Jews were not deported into death camps until the arrival of the Nazis in 1943."

"text": "\"Steve Cook, teacher and journalist at CPGB-MLAnswered Jun 12, 2017Originally Answered: What do the terms \"\"left wing\"\" and \"\"right wing\"\" mean? The terms ‘left-wing’ and ‘right-wing’ (or just ‘left’ and ‘right’) originate with the French Revolution of the late 18th century, with the more liberal/radical members of the National Assembly sitting on the left of the chamber and the more conservative elements on the right. In standard bourgeois political science, the ‘left’ has come to include a spectrum of parties from the social-democrats (the Labour Party in Britain, for example, or the Socialist Party in France, Spain, etc.) through to the various Communist Parties — some of which still maintain that economic and social justice can only be achieved by the revolutionary overthrow of the capitalist system. There are however, ‘left’/’right’ distinctions even within most ‘left-wing’ parties (are you confused yet?). It would be topical to look at the Labour Party in the UK as a classic example. Its current leader, Jeremy Corbyn, heads the left social-democratic trend within the party — supported by the trade unions, peace and anti-racist campaigners, and much of the youth. They stand for nationalisation of public transport and utilities, an end to military intervention, the defence of welfare benefits, and greater taxation of the rich. By contrast, former Labour prime minister Tony Blair (who headed the right-wing of the Party) sought to privatise parts of the publicly-owned National Health Service, gave tax breaks to the millionaires and the multinationals, and followed George Bush Jr into war in Iraq. As for the ‘right wing’, there is a spectrum here, too."

Kundalini Yoga What Are the Dangers of Coenzyme Q10? Your body uses inflammation as a natural defense mechanism against environmental toxins and stress. Foods containing hydrogenated fats and sugars increase inflammation in the body, which leads to overactivity of the immune system. According to a 2004 study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, trans fatty acid consumption increases inflammation, damages health and has a strong relationship to heart disease. The addition of anti-inflammatory foods to your diet, reduces inflammation, lowers your risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer and may provide benefits for conditions such as osteoporosis, age-related memory loss and macular degeneration. Monounsaturated Fats Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and fall into two categories -- monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. According to Mayo Clinic.com, anti-inflammatory foods containing monounsaturated fats improve cholesterol levels, lower the risk of heart disease and, because they help control blood sugar, they may provide benefits for patients with type 2 diabetes. Anti-inflammatory foods containing monounsaturated fats include avocados, almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, olive oil, peanut oil and canola oil."

This is because often, pain in the chest area is associated with heart problems or other diseases which require prompt medical attention. However, sternum pain is usually caused by inflammation or an injury to the breastbone. Breastbone pain is classed as noncardiac chest pain, meaning that the pain isn’t the result of heart disease. Advertisement The sternum is also called the breastbone and it’s the bone in the center of your chest below your collarbone. The sternum is connected to muscles that move the arms, head, and neck and it protects many vital organs. Of course, you should never ignore any kind of chest pain because it could be a sign of a serious cardiac problem. In this article, I’m going look at the various reasons for non-cardiac chest pain that is related to sternum pain.

"text": "\"Evening Primrose Oil Benefits Prev NEXTEvening primrose oil has a high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) -- a fatty acid with a long name and an even longer list of functions it helps control in your body. When you eat food or take a supplement that contains this fatty acid, your body converts it into a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin E1, which stimulates contraction of the blood vessels [source: Whole Health MD ]. Because of this anti-inflammatory effect, evening primrose oil has been used to treat a wide range of aches and pains caused by swelling, such as bloating, breast tenderness and cramping associated with PMS and joint pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. It's also been used to treat numbness and tingling in diabetics, skin problems like eczema, acne and rosacea, and patients with high cholesterol, multiple sclerosis and osteoporosis [source: Mayo Clinic ]. The benefit of taking evening primrose oil is increasing the levels of GLA in your body, which could be low if you're not eating enough of the right fats, drink too much alcohol, have low thyroid function, or are undergoing radiation treatment [source: Brown ]. But whether it will make your pimples or hot flashes go away remains unproven. In fact, scientific studies to support the claims that evening primrose oil helps cure any of these conditions are inconclusive. Most have been too small or poorly designed to produce reliable results, with one exception: eczema. In a report by the Mayo Clinic, researchers gave evening primrose oil a \"\"B\"\" on a grading scale from A to F on the amount of evidence that supports claims it relieves itching, inflammation and flaking in patients with eczema [source: Mayo Clinic ]. For most of the other conditions -- including multiple sclerosis, diabetes, breast pain, arthritis, high blood pressure and osteoporosis -- Mayo researchers gave the evening primrose oil a \"\"C,\"\" or \"\"unclear evidence\"\" that it has any impact."

A cleansing fluid flows through a tube (catheter) into part of your abdomen and filters waste products from your blood. After a prescribed period of time, the fluid with filtered waste products flows out of your abdomen and is discarded. Peritoneal dialysis differs from hemodialysis, a more commonly used blood-filtering procedure. With peritoneal dialysis, you can give yourself treatments at home, at work or while traveling. Peritoneal dialysis isn't an option for everyone with kidney failure. You need manual dexterity and the ability to care for yourself at home, or a reliable caregiver. Why it's done Dialysis is required if your kidneys don't function adequately on their own. Kidney damage generally progresses over a number of years as a result of long-term conditions, such as: Diabetes High blood pressure (hypertension)Kidney inflammation (glomerulonephritis)Multiple cysts in the kidneys (polycystic kidney disease)The benefits of peritoneal dialysis compared with hemodialysis can include: Greater lifestyle flexibility and independence.

The damaged red blood cells clog the filtering system in the kidneys, which can lead to life-threatening kidney failure. HUS usually develops in children after five to 10 days of diarrhea — often bloody — caused by infection with certain strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Adults also can develop HUS due to E. coli or other types of infection, certain medications, or pregnancy. HUS is a serious condition. But timely and appropriate treatment leads to a full recovery for most people, especially young children. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of HUS can include: Bloody diarrhea Decreased urination or blood in the urine Abdominal pain, vomiting and occasionally fever Pallor Small, unexplained bruises or bleeding from the nose and mouth Fatigue and irritability Confusion or seizures High blood pressure Swelling of the face, hands, feet or entire body When to see a doctor See your doctor immediately if you or your child experiences bloody diarrhea or several days of diarrhea followed by: Decreased urine output Unexplained bruises Unusual bleeding Extreme fatigue Seek emergency care if you or your child doesn't urinate for 12 hours or more.

"text": "Pain Under Left Rib Cage: Common Causes and Treatments By Jenny Hills, Medical Writer and Researcher Health A sharp, aching pain under your left rib cage may cause you panic because of the possibility that it is heart-related pain. While it is true that pain under your ribs on the left-hand side could be a sign of angina or another serious cardiac issue, there are other reasons for pain under your left ribs. For example, kidney disease, an enlarged spleen, heartburn, or other digestive issues can all be reasons for varying degrees of upper abdominal or chest pain on the left side of your body. Advertisement You should never ignore any kind of unexplained pain under your ribs or in your abdominal area. For example, chest pain caused by heartburn can sometimes be mistaken for cardiac arrest. An injury to your ribs, such as rib fracture, broken rib, bruised rib or pulled chest muscle will cause rib pain that may wrap around the ribs causing rib pain in the back. Rib injury will obviously be painful but it may also cause other painful complications like a collapsed lung, pleurisy, or costochondritis (painful inflammation of your sternum). The pain could be noticeable immediately after injuring your rib cage area or it can develop gradually over time. Some chest pains cause a burning, uncomfortable feeling behind your ribs. Other chest pains can resemble a dull ache that doesn’t go away."

"text": "Print Overview Hemolytic uremic syndrome ( HUS) is a condition caused by the abnormal destruction of red blood cells. The damaged red blood cells clog the filtering system in the kidneys, which can lead to life-threatening kidney failure. HUS usually develops in children after five to 10 days of diarrhea — often bloody — caused by infection with certain strains of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. Adults also can develop HUS due to E. coli or other types of infection, certain medications, or pregnancy. HUS is a serious condition. But timely and appropriate treatment leads to a full recovery for most people, especially young children. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of HUS can include: Bloody diarrhea Decreased urination or blood in the urine Abdominal pain, vomiting and occasionally fever Pallor Small, unexplained bruises or bleeding from the nose and mouth Fatigue and irritability Confusion or seizures High blood pressure Swelling of the face, hands, feet or entire body When to see a doctor See your doctor immediately if you or your child experiences bloody diarrhea or several days of diarrhea followed by: Decreased urine output Unexplained bruises Unusual bleeding Extreme fatigue Seek emergency care if you or your child doesn't urinate for 12 hours or more. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes The most common cause of HUS — particularly in children under the age of 5 — is infection with E. coli bacteria that produce certain toxins (shiga toxin-producing E. coli or STEC). One such strain of E. coli is known as E. coli O157: H7. Other strains of E. coli have also been linked to HUS."

Design Observational, retrospective case series. Setting Mayo Clinic Health System. Patients Thirty-two patients with an exclusive (n = 11) or predominant (n = 21) seizure presentation in whom an autoimmune etiology was suspected (on the basis of neural autoantibody [91%], inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid [31%], or magnetic resonance imaging suggesting inflammation [63%]) were studied. All had partial seizures: 81% had failed treatment with 2 or more antiepileptic drugs and had daily seizures and 38% had seizure semiologies that were multifocal or changed with time. Head magnetic resonance imaging was normal in 15 (47%) at onset. Electroencephalogram abnormalities included interictal epileptiform discharges in 20; electrographic seizures in 15; and focal slowing in 13. Neural autoantibodies included voltage-gated potassium channel complex in 56% (leucine-rich, glioma-inactivated 1 specific, 14; contactin-associated proteinlike 2 specific, 1); glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 in 22%; collapsin response-mediator protein 5 in 6%; and Ma2, N -methyl- D -aspartate receptor, and ganglionic acetylcholine receptor in 1 patient each."

It is also known as Hypericum, Klamath Weed, goatweed, Millepertuis, Rosin Rose, SJW, Tipton Weed, Perforate St John’s-wort, Common Saint John’s wort and St John’s wort. The herb is native to Europe, but over the years has been introduced to several temperate regions across the globe, mainly in the United States, and is found growing naturally in numerous meadows. The herb derived its name St. John’s wort because it bears golden yellow bloosms that appears abundantly somewhere around St. John’s day, i.e. June 24- the day usually remembered as the birthday of John the Baptist. The aerial parts of the plants, including the leaves and flowering tops that are therapeutically applied are harvested at about that time. On the other hand the genus name Hypericum is derived from the Greek words hyper (above) and eikon (picture), in reference to the tradition of hanging plants over religious icons in the home during St John’s Day, to ward off evil. Similarly the herb’s species name ‘perforatum’ signifies the existence of small oil glands in the leaves that resemble windows and are visible when they are held against the light. St. John’s wort is used as an herbal remedy and is normally extracted from the flowers and leaves of the plant Hypericum perforatum and has been used over many centuries as a traditional medicine for wound healing and mental health problems. Plant St John’s wort is a shrubby perennial plant with extensive, creeping rhizomes."

It’s typically thought of as an empty-calorie snack, but did you know that marshmallow root — from which marshmallows are made — is actually full of health benefits? It’s true. In fact, marshmallow root has been used for centuries to treat infections, improve digestion and so much more. How can this be? Because contrary to what the name might conjure, marshmallow root is not the same as the airy, sugary puffed treat we’re all accustomed to. It’s actually the root of the marshmallow plant filled with healing properties, like the seven listed below.7 Benefits of Marshmallow Root1. Treats Coughs and Colds For anyone suffering from a sore throat, cough or cold, marshmallow root can be taken orally to reduce pain, swelling and congestion. Its antitussive properties and mucilage abilities allow it to decrease irritation of the throat, reduce swelling in the lymph nodes, speed up healing time and reduce aggravating dry coughing. This is exactly the reason that marshmallow extract is added to many cough syrups and throat lozenges — it’s one of the most effective natural cough remedies. ("

"text": "\"Gold: the essentials Most metals are metallic grey or silvery white whereas gold is characteristically a metallic yellow colour, in other words gold-coloured. Caesium is also gold coloured. The gold colour seems related to relativistic effects of the outermost gold orbitals. Small amounts of other metals alloyed with gold change the colour as well as mechanical properties such as hardness. White gold for jewellery is formed by mixing palladium, silver, or nickel with gold, although the result is green gold with certain proportions of silver. White gold is commonly used for wedding rings in the USA. Addition of some copper gives \"\"rose gold\"\", a soft pink colour. Remarkably other colours such as purple (a gold:aluminium alloy), blue (a gold:indium alloy) and even black (a gold:cobalt alloy) may be formed. Gold is usually alloyed in jewellery to give it more strength, and the term carat describes the amount of gold present (24 carats is pure gold). It is estimated that all the gold in the world, so far refined, could be placed in a single cube 60 ft."

January 2 2017 by Ray Sahelian, M. D. Turmeric is a plant native to south India and Indonesia. Its tuberous rhizomes (root like structures) have been used from antiquity as a condiment, as a textile dye, and for medicinal purposes. Curcuminoids are the major substances that give the spice turmeric its yellow color. Curry powder, which is extensively used in Indian cuisine, is largely made of turmeric and other spices such as coriander and fenugreek. Curcuma Longa is the botanical name for turmeric. The major curcuminoids are curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin which are powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.

At first it may resemble common arthritis. Some people treat their symptoms with over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. These drugs are called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. They may offer some relief, but they cannot halt the disease. NSAIDs may cause stomach upset in some patients. In rare cases, they may cause serious bleeding in the stomach or intestines. They may also interact with certain prescription drugs. Celecoxib (Celebrex) is a prescription NSAID that provides similar anti-inflammatory relief."

You can find these in cans in Asian stores, but they are usually canned in sugar syrup which makes them too sweet. When fresh they are moderately sweet and are a little crunchy, so are sliced into thin strips or chopped into small pieces and then used to make cooling drinks or in desserts with fruits such as papaya, pineapple and mangoes with vanilla ice cream. The fruits themselves resemble coconuts, which is not surprising as the trees are in the same botanical family of Arecaceae along with the date palm. The Borassus genus has seven known members, which are native to Asia, Africa (including the island of Madagascar) and New Guinea. In India the sugary sap from the tree is called toddy, as is the liquid that can be sucked from the fruit through the wiry fibres. These white fibres are either coated with white or orange pulp and inside there are the toddy seeds. When the fruit is young the toddy seeds are hollow, translucent and soft. They have a jelly-like consistency and are translucent. They are extracted from the fruit by roasting then breaking open the fruit, and peeling the pale brown skin from them."

Last updated Wed 17 May 2017By Christian Nordqvist Reviewed by Timothy J. Legg, Ph D, CRNPTransmission Symptoms Causes and risk factors Diagnosis Treatment Prevention Yellow fever is a hemorrhagic condition that can lead to a high fever, bleeding into the skin, and cell death in the liver and kidneys. If enough liver cells die, liver damage occurs, leading to jaundice, a condition in which the skin takes on a yellowish color. It is an acute, systemic disease, meaning that it starts suddenly, and it affects the whole body. The Flavivirus causes yellow fever. The virus is transmitted by mosquitos, mainly the Aedes and Haemogogus species. It is most likely to occur in tropical and subtropical parts of South America, parts of the Caribbean, and Africa. It rarely affects American travelers. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimate that in 2013, there were between 84,000 severe cases of yellow fever and between 29,000 and 60,000 fatalities. About 90 percent of all cases occur in Africa."

"text": "NSAIDs and other anti-inflammatory drugs Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory condition that often strikes in middle age. It may not be diagnosed immediately. At first it may resemble common arthritis. Some people treat their symptoms with over-the-counter pain relievers like aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen. These drugs are called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. They may offer some relief, but they cannot halt the disease. NSAIDs may cause stomach upset in some patients. In rare cases, they may cause serious bleeding in the stomach or intestines. They may also interact with certain prescription drugs. Celecoxib (Celebrex) is a prescription NSAID that provides similar anti-inflammatory relief."

Though both frankincense and myrrh tend to bring up certain religious connotations to the western mind, they have been in active use as magical incenses, ritual tools and for their healing properties since at least 1500BC. Frankincense Tears are known for their use in consecration, meditation, protection and purifying. Myrrh is known for Protection, purification, healing and magical potency. In March 2009, a study published in the BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2009, 9:6 showed that frankincense essential oil “suppressed cell viability in bladder transitional carcinoma J82 cells. ”Use In Ancient Times Both frankincense and myrrh have been traded in the Middle East and North Africa for upwards of 5,000 years. It is believed that the Babylonians and Assyrians burned them during religious ceremonies. The ancient Egyptians bought entire boatloads of the resins from the Phoenicians, using them in incense, insect repellent, perfume and salves for wounds and sores; they were also key ingredients in the embalming process. Myrrh oil served as a rejuvenating facial treatment, while frankincense was charred and ground into a power to make the heavy kohl eyeliner for Egyptian women. Sacks of frankincense and potted saplings of myrrh-producing trees appear in murals decorating the walls of a temple dedicated to Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt."

Rosehips are the tiny, reddish-orange, edible, spherical fruits that remain on a Rose bush after Roses have bloomed, lost their petals, and died. Rosehip Oil has been used largely in medicinal and cosmetic applications, often being regarded as the “Oil of Youth. ”Rosehip Carrier Oil is considered to be a “dry oil,” due to its thin consistency, which allows it to be easily absorbed without leaving an oily residue on the skin’s surface. Rosehip Carrier Oil has skin brightening properties that help restore skin’s natural color and tone while lightening any unwanted dark blemishes. Rosehip Oil effectively reduces the appearance of scars, accelerates skin regeneration, facilitates the healing of wounds and burns, and soothes skin dryness and inflammation. HISTORY OF ROSEHIP OILThe petals of a Rose are the parts most commonly known for yielding the infusions, hydrosols, and essential oils used in cosmetics for beauty benefits, but its seed pods – also known as its “hips” or sometimes as “Rose Haw” and “Rose Hep” – yield a cold-pressed carrier oil that has equal potency in health benefits. Rosehips are the tiny, reddish-orange, edible, spherical fruits that remain on a Rose bush after the Roses have bloomed, lost their petals, and died. For their tangy flavour, Rosehips traditionally found popular use in culinary applications, being used both fresh and dry in both sweet and savory dishes as well as in herbal teas. Medicinal preparations made of Rosehips were used by Ancient Chinese doctors and early Native Americans to treat stomach weakness, muscle cramps, and to ease joint stiffness and pain. During World War II, Rosehips were used as a replacement for citrus fruits, as the levels of the antioxidant Vitamin C in citrus fruits were not as high as the levels found in Rosehips."

"text": "Other terms: upset stomach, retching, stomach ache, throwing up, queasy, heart burn, motion sickness, dry heave, puke, and sick to my stomach. What Are Nausea & Vomiting? According to Woodruff (1997), nausea is the unpleasant, subjective feeling of the need to vomit. Whereas, vomiting is the forceful release of stomach contents through the mouth caused by strong contractions of the stomach muscles. Unfortunately, certain chemotherapy drugs can cause nausea and vomiting. Luckily, there are many drugs that your doctor can prescribe to prevent, lessen, or relieve the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy. These medications are called anti-nausea drugs or anti-emetics. These are a group of medications that can be used to control nausea and vomiting and can be given in different ways. For example, if you are unable to keep anything down, don't worry because the drugs can be given through an I. V. catheter, a patch, rectally, under the tongue, or even in a shot if you cannot swallow. Also, there are several things that patients with these symptoms can do to help themselves feel better besides medications."

My dad is 62 years old and just got diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that has spread into his bones. We all knew he was sick but this diagnosis just came about 3 weeks ago. 1 of his doctors wants to start hospice as he thinks my dad will not make it through chemo and the other wants to proceed with some chemo treatments to see if they can extend his life a little bit. He only weights 112 lbs right now and is already very weak. I was nervous about him starting chemo but he had his first treatment today and is doing very well. My question is: Is it a good sign that he is doing so well right now or will the side effects start coming within the next few days or weeks? Expert Answers Andrew Putnam, M. D. is a Palliative Care physician at Smilow Cancer Center at Yale New Haven Hospital and Yale University. The onset of chemotherapy side effects depends on the chemotherapy and the individual. Sometimes side effects start within a day or 2 of starting chemotherapy and at other times they can start several days later. Being fine at the start is a good sign but it does not mean that the side effects will not start later."

"text": "Cannabis for Chemotherapy Published on October 7, 2015, By Gooey Rabinski Cancer Conditions Marijuana Knowledge Base Medical Most people understand that chemotherapy is a common treatment for cancer, a condition that afflicts 1.6 million Americans each year, killing 600,000 during the same period. However, many don’t fully understand exactly what chemotherapy (also known as “chemo”) really involves and the side effects it delivers to patients. This is especially significant due to the fact that, unknown to most Americans, chemotherapy is used to treat patients of many diseases other than cancer. These include multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and even psoriasis, among others. Medically speaking, the side effects of chemotherapy include a decrease in the production of blood cells within the bones (myelosuppression), inflammation of the lining of the digestive tract (mucositis), and hair loss (alopecia). In terms of patient suffering, chemotherapy brings on severe nausea, vomiting, and dry heaves, in addition to a slew of other negative side effects. Frightening History The concept of chemotherapy emerged during World War II, when doctors noted that soldiers who had been exposed to mustard gas had low white blood counts. It just so happens that white blood cells behave in a manner very similar to cancer cells; both multiply rapidly. Surmising that the low blood counts were the result of the mustard gas, doctors began experimenting with cancer patients by injecting them with mustard gas in an effort to kill their cancer. Results of the experimentation revealed a significant improvement in cancer patients, although the improved state didn’t last long."

The side effects of chemotherapy vary in length and severity from individual to individual. Common side effects include hair loss, nausea and confusion. Timelines for side effects can be somewhat predictable for those undergoing chemotherapy treatment. Mental A condition referred to as \"\"chemobrain,\"\" is a side effect that can come on quickly in some patients and not show up at all in others. Researchers at Johns Hopkins report that 40 to 80 percent of chemotherapy recipients experience some level of memory loss, fuzzy thinking and difficulty concentrating. Symptoms often appear within the first few weeks of the treatment and may increase, depending on the dosage, the kinds of chemotherapy drugs used and the general health of the patient. Chemobrain can last for up to a year or two following the conclusion of the therapy. Hair Loss As the chemotherapy drugs attack the body's cellular structures, hair loss is inevitable for most patients. Hair follicles on the head and everywhere else on the body are killed."

"text": "CBD: Marijuana Compound Has No High, But Relieves Pain By William Breathes on October 17, 2011 Medical, News Philly.com Scientists at Temple University in Philadelphia who are exploring the medical benefits of cannabidiol (CBD), a marijuana compound that does not produce the high associated with THC, have found that it’s effective in helping prevent neuropathic pain. CBD, the second major cannabinoid in pot after THC, has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, but no psychoactive effects, according to the scientists, reports Tom Avril at Philly.com. In a study using lab mice, CBD showed promise in preventing the kind of neuropathic pain that can result from the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel (sold as the brand-name Taxol, among others). Mice that were given paclitaxel and also received CBD were much less sensitive to pain than mice that receive only chemo. Researchers tested the rodents’ sensitivity to pain with two tests that normally get little reaction from drug-free mice, but cause mild pain in mice on chemo. Temple University School of Pharmacy Sara Ward, Temple University: “From what we’ve seen so far, it’s almost a complete prevention of the onset of neuropathic pain”They administered acetone to the animals’ paws, which results in a cold sensation as the liquid evaporates. The scientists also prodded the little mouse paws with flexible filaments to test how much pressure they had to apply before the mice pulled their paws away. Chemo mice that had been dosed with CBD had near-normal sensitivity, according to Sara Jane Ward, a research assistant professor at Temple’s School of Pharmacy. “From what we’ve seen so far, it’s almost a complete prevention of the onset of the neuropathic pain,” said Ward in the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia. Ward is the lead author of the study."

While I mention major possible side effects and precautions after every article, I through it to be a good idea to write one dedicated research piece on the topic. Turmeric has a very long history of usage in India and several other countries. There is so much of accumulated knowledge which has been passed on from generation to generation which also includes precautions to be taken while using turmeric. With modern science and testing methods we have been able to find a few more possible side effects. But let me start by saying that scientists after so many experiments and studies have found turmeric to be very safe unless one takes it in excess. Now one need to put things in perspective here, excess of even water (which in devoid of nutrition and complex chemicals) can also cause health issues then of course it is logical that excess of a complex herb as turmeric can cause too. Second point here is most side effects are generally associated when you take turmeric supplements, not when it is included in your regular diet."

The goal of chemo is to stop or slow the growth of cancer cells. Chemo is considered a systemic therapy. This means it may affect your entire body. Chemo medications attack rapidly growing cancer cells, but they can also affect healthy cells that grow rapidly. The effect of these medications on normal cells often causes chemo side effects.

"text": "How does chemotherapy work? Healthy normal cells in the body grow and divide in an orderly manner to replace old or damaged cells. Cancer cells have lost that capacity and divide out of control. Chemotherapy drugs work by targeting and killing all rapidly dividing cells in the body. Cancer cells are the primary target, but some normal cells are also affected, which is why chemotherapy causes side effects. 2How is chemotherapy given? Chemotherapy can be administered in many ways, including orally, intravenously, subcutaneously, and intramuscularly. When given in these ways, it is called systemic chemotherapy because the drugs travel throughout the whole body (system) in the bloodstream to reach cancer cells wherever they are. To treat lung cancer, chemotherapy drugs are usually given intravenously. 3, 4When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas (regional chemotherapy)."

Hair loss happened at the end of three weeks--right before my second treatment. I also received a Neulasta injection the day after each treatment and I really think that's what caused the aches. Usually about a week after my infusion, I felt better."

"text": "Chemotherapy for Soft Tissue Sarcomas Chemotherapy (chemo) is the use of drugs given into a vein or taken by mouth to treat cancer. These drugs enter the bloodstream and reach all areas of the body, making this treatment useful for cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other organs. Depending on the type and stage of sarcoma, chemotherapy may be given as the main treatment or as an adjuvant (addition) to surgery. Chemotherapy for soft tissue sarcoma generally uses a combination of several anti-cancer drugs. The most commonly used drugs are ifosfamide (Ifex ®) and doxorubicin (Adriamycin ® ). When ifosfamide is used, the drug mesna is also given. Mesna is not a chemo drug. It protects the bladder from the toxic effects of ifosfamide. Other chemo drugs may be used as well, including cisplatin, dacarbazine (DTIC), docetaxel (Taxotere ® ), gemcitabine (Gemzar ® ), methotrexate, oxaliplatin, paclitaxel (Taxol ® ), vincristine, vinorelbine (Navelbine ® ), trabectedin (Yondelis ® ), and eribulin (Halaven ® ). When several drugs are used together, the combination is given a shortened name such as: MAID (mesna, Adriamycin [doxorubicin], ifosfamide, and dacarbazine)."

"text": "There are several different kinds of mouthwash used for the purposes of preventing cavities, preventing gum disease, killing germs, and finally treating diseases of the mouth, teeth, and gums. An antibiotic mouthwash is not the same thing as an antiseptic mouthwash, which is what most people buy over-the-counter to help prevent cavities and control bad breath. Instead, it is an oral solution that contains an antibiotic medication and is usually available only by prescription. The most common active ingredient in antibiotic mouthwash is the drug chlorhexidine, a chemical antimicrobial typically used to treat gum disease. A dentist may prescribe a chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse when signs of gum disease are present. These signs include inflammation, redness and bleeding of the gums. Other uses for antibiotic mouthwash include prevention of tooth decay and infection following oral surgery. This type of mouthwash may also be prescribed to treat ulcers or sores in the mouth. In antiseptic mouthwash, the ingredients that do so are typically hydrogen peroxide, alcohol, and thymol and are not as strong as the class of medications contained in prescription antibiotic mouthwash. Even so, both mouthwashes have the same effect — killing germs on the surface of living tissue."

The wisdom teeth are the last to appear, right at the back of the mouth. They usually appear when you are between 17 and 25, although sometimes they appear many years later. People often have jaws that are too small for all 32 teeth to fit - 28 is often the most we have room for. So if all the other teeth are present and healthy there may not be enough space for the wisdom teeth to come through properly. Back to Top Do wisdom teeth always cause problems? No. If there is enough room they will usually come through into a useful position and cause no more problems than any other tooth. Often there will be some slight discomfort as they come through, but this will disappear once the tooth is fully in position."

"text": "Antimicrobial Treatments for Gum Disease Antibiotics and Gum Disease Antimicrobial treatment is a non-surgical periodontal disease treatment, commonly used to fight gum disease by either inhibiting bacterial growth or/and by killing harmful bacteria. Antiseptics which stop the growth of bacterial plaque are usually used as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of developing periodontal disease or treating early stages of gingivitis. Antibiotics which kill bacteria are prescribed by dentists for the treatment of dental abscesses and periodontitis, the most severe form of gum disease. How antimicrobial treatment of gum disease works? Gum disease is caused by the action of dental plaque bacteria. The toxins produced by bacteria cause initially the inflammation of the gums and, if not treated, the infection of periodontal tissues results in loss of bone and connective tissues that keep teeth in place and finally in tooth loss. The purpose of antimicrobial treatment is to decrease the amount of bacteria in the mouth that cause periodontal disease. Antiseptics which are mainly used for prevention and mild gingivitis have bacteriostatic action. They suppress the metabolism of bacteria cells inhibiting or slowing down the growth of dental plaque. Antibiotics have bactericidal action; they work by killing bacteria."

However, fluoride is present in toothpaste and tap water and is more than adequate for our needs. Be careful about consuming excessive amounts of fluoride. Cosmetic mouthwashes do not offer the same protection as other types and are used more as a means of disguising bad breath (halitosis).

It appears as white patches on the tongue and in the mouth and throat. Underneath these white patches are reddened lesions. It can be painful and can interfere with eating.

But if the lump on your gums stays for a while, it might mean there is bacterial growth underneath the lump. It could also mean that you have an abscessed tooth. This is important to take care of as soon as possible, because an infection of this kind can spread to your surrounding teeth and even to your bloodstream, where it can begin to cause symptoms throughout your body. What Causes Lump on Gums? A lump on the gums can be any size or any color, and it might have signs of infection, such as redness or pus. Some of these lumps are serious and some of them can be treated easily with home remedies or over the counter drugs. Here are the most common causes: Irritation Sometimes a simple irritation of one particular area can lead to a lump on the gums. This often happens if you have had something in your mouth pressing against one spot, or if you have a habit of moving your teeth in such a way that they scrape against the opposite gum."

Oral hygiene Good oral hygiene involves:brushing your teeth for about two minutes last thing at night before you go to bed and on one other occasion everyday – it doesn't matter if you use an electric or manual toothbrush but some people find it easier to clean their teeth thoroughly with an electric toothbrushusing toothpaste that contains the right amount of fluoride (a natural mineral that helps protect against tooth decay)flossing your teeth regularly – preferably daily, before brushing your teethnot smokingregularly visiting your dentist – at least once every one to two years, but more frequently if necessary See the teeth cleaning guide for more information and advice about how to keep your teeth clean. Mouthwash Antiseptic mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine or hexetidine are available over the counter from pharmacies. However, there's some debate about whether using mouthwash is necessary for people with healthy gums. Your dentist may recommend using mouthwash if it helps control the build-up of plaque (the sticky substance that forms when bacteria collects on the surface of your teeth). Your dentist will be able to advise you about which type of mouthwash is most suitable and how to use it. Chlorhexidine mouthwash can stain your teeth brown if you use it regularly. Rinse your mouth thoroughly between brushing your teeth and using a chlorhexidine mouthwash because some ingredients in toothpaste can prevent the mouthwash working. Dental treatments Some of the dental treatments described below may also be recommended if you have gum disease. Scale and polish To remove plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) that can build up on your teeth, your dentist may suggest that you have your teeth scaled and polished."

Please help improve the article by merging similar sections and removing unneeded subheaders. ( August 2017)Mouthwash, mouth rinse, oral rinse or mouth bath, [1] is a liquid which is held in the mouth passively or swilled around the mouth by contraction of the perioral muscles and/or movement of the head, and may be gargled, where the head is tilted back and the liquid bubbled at the back of the mouth. Usually mouthwashes are antiseptic solutions intended to reduce the microbial load in the oral cavity, although other mouthwashes might be given for other reasons such as for their analgesic, anti-inflammatory or anti-fungal action. Additionally, some rinses act as saliva substitutes to neutralize acid and keep the mouth moist in xerostomia (dry mouth). [ 2] [3] Cosmetic mouthrinses temporarily control or reduce bad breath and leave the mouth with a pleasant taste. [ 4]Rinsing with water or mouthwash after brushing with a fluoride toothpaste can reduce the availability of salivary fluoride. This can lower the anti-cavity re-mineralization and antibacterial effects of fluoride.

Thankfully, there are ways to remove them and keep them from coming back. Also known as tonsilloliths, tonsil stones are small balls made up of left over food particles, bacteria, mucus, and other debris that form inside your tonsil crypts: Enlarged Tonsil Crypts Tonsil Crypts Infected With Tonsil Stones What Are Tonsil Crypts Your tonsil crypts are pretty much folds or crevices that are naturally found inside your tonsils. Depending on the person there can be anywhere from 10 to more than 20 different tonsil crypts in the tonsils. Although your tonsils themselves are designed to keep you protected against viruses and bacteria, the crypts or pockets inside them can cause dirt, left over food particles, and other debris to build up. Also, your tonsil crypts don’t get a lot of oxygen as it is so they are the perfect environment for bacteria to grow and cause an infection, inflammation, and of course more stones. Causes The formation of tonsil stones is caused by the different debris and bacteria accumulating in the tonsil crypts and calcifying (hardening). A few of the other things that can cause tonsil stones include: Prescription medicines such as high blood pressure medications that cause dry mouth as a side effect when taken can also cause tonsil stones to grow."

In fact, according to health maintenance organization Kaiser Permanente, prescription-strength antiseptic mouthwashes are a commonly prescribed treatment. Most people know how to swish and gargle for oral hygiene, but when and how to relieve a sore throat is less common knowledge. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Indicators According to Kaiser Permanente's \"\"Healthwise Handbook,\"\" mouthwash won't relieve your sore throat. It can, however, help kill the bacteria irritating it and accelerate your healing. Sore throats caused by bacteria, or by canker sores, are the sore throats for which a mouthwash gargle is most effective. How It Works The kind of sore throat mouthwash can help is essentially a minor wound on the inside of your throat: a scrape or abrasion. The moisture and bacteria that naturally live in your mouth can keep these minor injuries fresh and sore much longer than a similar scrape on your skin would last. Antiseptic mouthwash kills the bacteria it comes into contact with, and accelerates healing the same way an antibiotic cream helps treat a cut on your skin.

With swollen gums, some of the initials steps one can take to help combat infection of the gums would be using a mouth rinses that has something like peroxide in it. Peroxide has been known to help fight infection and swishing with a peroxide mouthwash can help eliminate some of the gum infection and puffiness that we see. With regards to discomfort, you can also take an anti-inflammatory such as Motrin or Ibuprofen and that in combination with the mouthwash oftentimes can help relieve some of the discomfort from the gums as well as alleviate some of the puffiness that one may see due to an infection. If mouthwash and anti-inflammatories have not been adequate for helping resolve the gum infection and swelling; then one might want to go to a dentist at that point for a consultation as the dentist may need to assess further problems that be, could be contributing such gum disease. Typically, at this point, if there's no improvement, the dentist will place the patient on some sort of antibiotic to help combat the gum infection, as well as prescribe any sort of treatment that would be needed, such as deep cleanings or surgery.

It is most commonly caused by the fungus Candida albicans, but may also be caused by Candida glabrata or Candida tropicalis .

However, this is not the case for people with a weakened immune system, whose signs and symptoms may be much more severe. The outcome for oral thrush is generally very good. Most people respond well to treatment. However, oral thrush tends to reappear, especially if the causal factor (smoking, for instance) is not removed.

"text": "\"The pros and cons of oral bacteria By Rosemary Frei, MSc, Dr Bicuspid.com contributing writer The mouth provides a hospitable environment for many microorganisms. It is warm, nutrient-rich, continuously bathed with saliva, and has a p H of between 6.75 and 7.25. Hence the oral cavity is home to a rich microbiota, most of which are beneficial organisms and live in harmony with each other and the host. The presence of microbes is in fact essential for maintaining the normal physiology of the oral cavity. While this symbiosis is usually stable and mutually beneficial, if some external force changes the balance, the result can be gingivitis, dental caries, or periodontal disease. A significant body of knowledge is now available on how to maintain a healthy ecology of microbiota and keep diseases at bay. There is also a growing number of oral health products, from lozenges to mouthwashes, designed to optimize the balance of bacteria in the mouth, retain their beneficial characteristics, and suppress their potentially harmful impact. Denizens of the oral cavity Philip D. Marsh, Ph D, is one of the leaders in this area and has been publishing papers on oral microbes for more than 35 years. He advises caution when seeking to interfere with the microbiological balance in the mouth in a bid to stem oral diseases. \"\" What we've been brought up with is 'Plaque is bad -- get rid of it.'"

It is effective against other forms of bacteria such as Salmonella, Enterococcus, Escherichia and Pseudomonas species Superbugs like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are on the rise and, unfortunately, are becoming resistant to the drugs used to treat them. When faced with a microbial infection, using natural antibacterial agents may not only be more effective but also safe and risk-free. Apart from using spices like garlic, I recommend you try essential oils derived from herbs like thyme oil. Not only do they have antibacterial properties, but they also provide a number of health benefits. Before I go into thyme oil's antimicrobial functions, let me share some information on the essential oil. What Is Thyme Oil? Oil of thyme is derived from thyme, also known as Thymus vulgaris. The perennial herb, a member of the mint family, is used in aromatherapy, cooking, potpourri, mouthwashes and elixirs, as well as in ointments. Thyme also has a number of medicinal properties, which is due to the herb's essential oils."

"text": "Real Age Administration Periodontitis is the form of gum disease (periodontal disease) in which bacteria have infected the tissues below the gums and may have invaded the bone tissue as well. Over-the-counter medicines are not very helpful in treating this condition. If you had gingivitis (gum inflammation) and have been told that it has progressed to periodontitis, your dentist may suggest a prescription medicine. As a first step, your dentist may prescribe a prescription mouthwash called chlorhexidine. He or she may also try one of several techniques after doing deep-cleaning procedures. One option is an antibiotic gel that is placed in the gum pockets (the areas of gum tissue that have been pulled away from the teeth). Another medicine is antibiotic microspheres. Like the gel, they are placed in the pockets to reduce the bacteria and help make the pockets smaller. A drug called doxycycline suppresses the amount of enzymes your body produces that can destroy gum tissue. Oral antibiotics are drugs that you take by mouth to treat a bacterial infection."

And the reason is simple; laser energy greatly improves local circulation, local lymphatic drainage, & local cell activity. It helps kill germs and reduces inflammation and edema. All great things when it comes to wound healing. We use the laser routinely after surgery to reduce post op swelling, inflammation and pain as well as to speed healing. And we will recommend it highly on any wound not likely to heal quickly with more traditional treatments.

It contains a silver compound that denatures the cell wall of bacteria, yeast, and fungus.

Unfortunately, cuts and punctures and lacerations are a fact of life when you have a horse. The potential causes of equine wounds are almost endless: lacerations and punctures from sharp objects like metal and glass; shear wounds from barbed wire, sticks, nails and bites; kicks; collision injuries from falling or running into an object; and entrapment, such as getting a leg hung up in a rope or in a cattle guard. This list comes from Dr. Ted Stashak's book Equine Wound Management. Here are five scenarios to help you know what to do when a wound injury occurs: Small puncture wounds Abrasions (skinning)Small lacerations & cuts in muscles and tendons Skin flap lacerations Deep punctures or cuts in joint areas A basic trauma treatment kit Small Puncture Wounds The problem Your 10-year-old thoroughbred gelding was fine this morning when you turned him out. But you noticed this evening when you brought him in that there was dried blood on his hip. On further examination, you find a dime-sized hole or puncture in the muscle over his hip. The horse is not lame, but seems stiff and is tender when you examine the area. ( A puncture over thick muscle, such as our example, is much less serious than a similar wound over the lower leg or the chest or belly. What to do First, get an idea of the puncture's depth and of the structures that may be damaged."

Also called pastern dermatitis, dew poisoning, greasy heel, or mud fever, scratches is not a condition itself; it's a description of a problem commonly seen on a horse's lower limbs. Scratches is caused by a variety of skin conditions including viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic infections. Horses in excessively wet or muddy environments are at greater risk of getting scratches. What Is It? According to The Merck Veterinary Manual: \"\"Scratches is a chronic, seborrheic (flaky skin) dermatitis characterized by hypertrophy (enlargement of the skin cells) and exudation (oozing) on the caudal (rear) surface of the pastern and fetlock. It often is associated with poor stable hygiene, but no specific cause is known. Heavy horses are particularly susceptible (potentially because their feathered legs can trap dirt and moisture), and the hind limbs are affected more commonly. \"\" It has also been noted that horses with light-colored legs or white socks are more susceptible to getting scratches."

"text": "\"There's nothing more exciting than watching a newborn foal scampering around a pasture with his dam. Conversely, there's nothing more heart-wrenching than watching a newborn foal fight for his life after being diagnosed with septicemia: the potentially deadly presence of bacteria or bacterial toxins in the bloodstream. According to Mary Rose Paradis, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVIM, an associate professor in the Department of Clinical Sciences at Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, in North Grafton, Mass., diagnosing and treating a septic foal can be a challenge. She spoke about the different manifestations and treatment options at the 2011 Western Veterinary Conference, held Feb. 20-24 in Las Vegas, Nev. A broad spectrum of clinical signs characterize septicemia, Paradis said. Early in the illness a foal might be lethargic, nurse less, exhibit increased heart and respiratory rates, and possibly have a fever. As the infection progresses, he might become depressed and exhibit shock, prolonged capillary refill time, low blood pressure, and a thready pulse (a light pulse that is barely perceptible). Paradis explained that as the infected blood travels throughout the body, it can--and likely will--manifest in several locations. Respiratory Manifestation\"\"The most common manifestation of septicemia we see is in the respiratory system,\"\" Paradis said, adding that this is likely because the foal's respiratory system is very vulnerable to infection. Such a manifestation generally presents as pneumonia in equine neonates, an illness that's a major cause of mortality in foals."

Clinical Signs May observe any of the following: Raised, reddened tissue on the sole of one or both hind feet Open sore or ulceration on the sole of one or both hind feet Intermittent bleeding Presence of pus if abscessed*Note: for information on recognizing various signs of pain or discomfort refer to: Signs of Pain In Rats . Etiology Ulcerative pododermatitis is a chronic granulomatous condition resulting from ulcerative lesions, and necrosis of the tissue on the plantar or heel portion of the feet. The lesions, often resulting from abraded tissue or pressure, begin as small, reddish, raised areas of keratinized growth that develop crusts/scabs. Intermittent bleeding results when these areas filled with blood break open, drain, and then close. If the area is abscessed, then along with the blood, pus fills the area and drains upon rupture. This cycle is repeated when continuous pressure is placed on these raised, filled areas of tissue. Secondary bacterial and fungal infections often develop when the abraded or ulcerated areas on the feet are exposed to normal skin flora, soiled bedding, or cages with accumulated urine-soaked feces. If the wounds are left untreated, or if treatment is not effective, infection can spread to the lymphatic system, to the bone causing osteomyelitis, or travel to the blood causing bacteremia and sepsis. If there is secondary infection Staphylococcus aureus is the bacteria most often cultured; however, other pathogens can be involved."

Related to conjunctivitis: allergic conjunctivitis Conjunctivitis Definition Conjuctivitis is an inflammation or redness of the lining of the white part of the eye and theunderside of the eyelid (conjunctiva) that can be caused by infection, allergic reaction, or physical agents like infrared or ultraviolet light. Description Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the conjunctiva, a thin, delicate membrane that covers theeyeball and lines the eyelid. Conjunctivitis is an extremely common eye problem because theconjunctiva is continually exposed to microorganisms and environmental agents that can causeinfections or allergic reactions. Conjunctivitis can be acute or chronic depending upon how longthe condition lasts, the severity of symptoms, and the type of organism or agent involved. It canalso affect one or both eyes and, if caused by infection, can be very easily transmitted to othersduring close physical contact, particularly among children in a daycare center. Other names forconjunctivitis include pink eye and red eye. Causes and symptoms Conjunctivitis may be caused by a viral infection, such as a cold, acute respiratory infection, or disease such as measles, herpes simplex, or herpes zoster. Symptoms include mild to severediscomfort in one or both eyes, redness, swelling of the eyelids, and watery, yellow, or greendischarge. Symptoms may last anywhere from several days to two weeks."

"text": "Dog Health Triple Antibiotic Ointment on Dogsby Amy M. Armstrong First aid for dogs can include human triple antiobiotic cream if properly applied. Using human medicine on canines is a big don't in most cases. But not so with triple antibiotic cream. It not only is one of the exceptions to the rule, it is also a highly effective exception, often providing just what the doctor, er, veterinarian would order in minor first-aid cases. What It Contains According to the Drug Information Online website, triple antiobiotic cream contains three active ingredients: bacitracin, neomycin and polymyxin B. Each is a specialized antibiotic that kills bacteria on skin. Working in conjunction with each other, this trio effectively takes out the most common bacteria found not only on human skin but also on animals and on sticks, rocks or other sharp objects that cause irritation, abrasion or cuts when coming in contact with skin. Before You Apply Muzzling or restraining your dog prior to application of triple antibiotic cream is advised. Your dog does not understand that this is a healing product. Even if, during application of the ointment, the dog does not display aggression that wounded canines often do, the dog's natural tendency to lick its wounds will remove the triple antibiotic cream prior to it being fully dissolved. The ointment must get into the wound itself to be effective."

At that time a speaker at the meeting mentioned an 8% allergic response to one of the ingredients in triple antibiotic, specifically Neomycin. This past week I just returned from a seminar where an expert in wound care discussed a severe allergic response to neomycin which almost killed one of their patients. The wound care expert said that about 11% of people have an allergic response to Neomycin. Both Neosporin and the generic triple antibiotic contain three antibiotics: Neomycin, Polymyxin B, and Bacitracin. These antibiotics are promoted for minor cuts and scrapes. Most people feel that triple antibiotic “prevents infection,” “helps wounds heal faster,” and “helps prevent scarring.” That is just not true!How often does someone in the family get a minor skin cut?

Properly referred to as pastern dermatitis, mud fever is also frequently called “greasy heels” or “cracked heels” and is frustratingly common in wet weather. The infection can stay dormant in skin, becoming active when the skin is compromised, usually by prolonged wetting. Spores germinate and produce hyphae (threadlike tentacles) that penetrate into the skin and spread in all directions from the original site. This cases an acute inflammatory reaction. Equine skin provides an ideal medium for many bacterial organisms, as well as fungi and other parasites. These micro-organisms live on healthy skin, gaining nourishment from natural waste matter and causing no harm or active infection. But, if the skin is injured or damaged — by a cut, wound, bite, harness sore or through prolonged wetting — the balance between host and organism is disturbed. The organism enters the horse’s body through the broken skin, and multiplies in the damp, warm epidermal layers, starting an active infection. Causes of mud fever Some soil types seem to predispose horses to these infections."

Antibiotic Ointment Keep the wounds covered with antibiotic ointment at all times. This is very important because the top layer, also known as the epithelium, is able to heal about twice as fast if it is kept moist and is not allowed to dry out or form a scab. This is best accomplished by keeping a layer of greasy ointment over the cuts, scrapes or wounded skin continuously. There is no fixed number of times that ointment should be applied. However, it may need to be done as many as 10 or 15 times a day in order to assure that the wound is continuously covered. A wide variety of ointments may be used. A good selection is an antibiotic ointment such as Polysporin, Bacitracin or other comparable generic version of these. Antibiotic ointments containing the antibiotic Neomycin are usually acceptable, but can occasionally cause a rash and for that reason may be better avoided. Antibiotic ointments can be obtained over the counter, usually in the drug store or even in the grocery store."

"text": "\"The Facts Otitis media is a middle ear infection that is most common in infants and young children, especially those between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. By the age of one year, most children will have had one or more middle ear infections. Although a middle ear infection can occur at any age, it's much less common in older children and adults. Ear infections do not spread from person to person and they most commonly occur with a cold. Antibiotics are often used to treat ear infections, but in certain circumstances, a doctor may suggest waiting for 2 to 3 days before starting antibiotics. Causes The middle ear is connected to the throat by a small tube called the eustachian tube. It's protected from the outside by a thin shield called the tympanic membrane, or eardrum. Viruses and bacteria that normally live in the throat can sometimes cross into the middle ear through the eustachian tube, causing an infection. Winter is high season for ear infections. They often follow a cold."

Ear infections happen when viruses or bacteria get into the middle ear, the space behind the eardrum. When a child has an ear infection (also called otitis media ), the middle ear fills with pus (infected fluid). The pus pushes on the eardrum, which can be very painful. What Are the Signs of an Ear Infection? Ear pain is the main sign of a middle ear infection. Kids also might have a fever and trouble eating, drinking, or sleeping because chewing, sucking, and lying down can cause painful pressure changes in the middle ear. Older kids can complain about ear pain, but a younger child might just tug at the ear or be fussy and cry more than usual. If the pressure from the fluid buildup gets high enough, it can rupture the eardrum, with fluid draining from the ear."

"text": "\"How to Treat Ear Infections in Dogs and Cats Ear Infections in Pets Symptoms & Diagnosis Treatment Ask the Vet Your veterinarian will want your pet to start on medications that relieve pain and infection right away. Then, in 2-3 days when the culture results have returned from the lab, either your pet will continue on the same medication, or your pet will receive a more effective medication. Medications can include natural remedies, oral antibiotics and antibiotics put directly in the ear. Natural remedies for pets with ear infections Natural remedies for ear infections are a safer alternative to many ear medications because some medications may increase the risk of hearing loss in pets. Our veterinarian Dr. Dym recommends Zymox which contains a natural enzyme to help clear up ear infections. Dr. Dym says, \"\"To help prevent ear infections, it's important to clean your pet's ears regularly with an ear cleanser. When your pet has an ear infection that is itchy, treat it with Zymox with Hydocortisone for 7-14 days and then wait 2-3 days before cleaning your pet's ears or using another ear medication. If the condition worsens, see your veterinarian immediately. \"\" Topical antibiotics for dog and cat ear infections The following prescription antibiotics benefit pets with bacterial ear infections (otitis) but are not safe unless the eardrum is intact: gentamycin ( Otomax and Mometamax ), tobramycin, amikacin, neomycin ( Posatex Otic Suspenion) and polymixin B. Some pets are allergic to antibiotics, especially to topical neomycin; if your pet's ear becomes worse with antibiotic treatment, stop the medication and call your veterinarian. Oral antibiotic pet medications for dog and cat ear infections These oral prescription antibiotics are used if the bacteria your pet has in their ears are invading the cells rather than living outside the cells: quinolones, azithromycin, and clindamycin."

Ear pain, regardless of the cause, can be severe and humbling for adults. When an adult gets middle ear pain, they usually want narcotics; the stronger the better. Children are also often the victims of ear pain, mostly from otitis media (a middle ear infection). Ear infections (middle ear infections) are among the most frequently diagnosed infections in the United States and the number one reason why children are given antibiotics. Sadly, ear pain is among the most frequently misdiagnosed conditions in America. The ear has three main parts: the external ear (the part you can see, including the ear canal leading up to the eardrum), the middle ear (the air-filled space on the other side of the eardrum that is very prone to infections), and the inner ear (a tiny space that cannot be viewed on examination that contains the neurological connections for hearing and controls balance). Inner ear infections rarely cause pain but they do cause dizziness and tinnitus (ringing). There are many causes of ear pain, and not all causes are due to infection. It seems that as soon as a medical provider hears the word “ear pain” they reach for their prescription pad and write the word ‘amoxicillin’ on it."

So, acute otitis media is an infection of the middle ear, which is located behind the eardrum. There is a tube, called the Eustachian tube, that connects the middle ear to the nose.

While about 80 out of 100 children (80 percent) who take antibiotics no longer have earaches after two to seven days, 70 out of 100 (70 percent) who don’t take any antibiotics have the exact same results. That means antibiotics only help about an additional 10 percent of the population who suffers from earaches. Plus, side effects of antibiotics can sometimes include nausea, diarrhea and skin rashes, in addition to altering gut health and possibly contributing to future infections. What are some natural ear infection remedies that can help curb symptoms without the use of antibiotics?"

You may not notice the effects immediately but after several weeks you will see the results. It is also used to treat other illnesses related to influenza A. Amantadine can prevent and treat respiratory infections caused by influenza A. It assists in lessening the severity of symptoms and decreases the time for you to heal. Although it is not a vaccine, Amantadine is an antiviral which stops the growth of the flu virus and prevents infections on the respiratory tract. Furthermore, Amantadine may also be used to treat fatigue associated with Multiple Sclerosis and cognitive impairment following traumatic brain trauma as well as to treat viral disease of the Central Nervous System. It can also be used to treat side effects caused by other drugs as it helps improve your range of motion and ability to exercise. Amantadine works by restoring the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain and increases the amount of dopamine, also known as chemical messengers, in the brain. This is why Amantadine is recommended to treat Parkinson’s as it is the lack of dopamine that causes stiffness and loss of muscle control. For more information on Amantadine, click here.

In mammals, there are five primary types of antibodies, each with similar basic structures. The tips of the proteins can be incredibly different, however, and it is this part that interacts with the contaminant itself, allowing for millions of unique antibodies to exist. Generally, these proteins serve as a kind of quick tagging device, which then alert other defensive cells to attack whatever they have tagged. They do this by binding with the invasive bit, known as the antigen. Each antigen has a part of it that is a very specific shape, known as the epitope. Each antibody is able to fit only one epitope, because of its specifically-shaped tip, making a sort of lock and key connection. Once this connection, known as an induced fit, has occurred, the antigen becomes immediately recognizable to defensive cells as an enemy.

ELISA Type Overview: There are three major types of ELISAs: Indirect, Sandwich and Competitive Indirect: the protein sample is bound through adsorption, directly (and non-specifically) to the well. Next, an antibody is used to detect the presence of one of the proteins contained in the sample, known as the antigen. Sandwich: a 'capture' antibody is bound to the well first, and when the sample is added, only proteins the antibody recognizes are 'captured'. Next, a second 'detection' antibody is used to detect the bound protein. The 'capture' and 'detection' antibodies are commonly called 'matched-pairs'.

While antigens can be the source of infections from pathogenic bacteria and viruses , organic molecules detrimental to the body from internal or environmental sources also act as antigens. Genetic engineering and the use of various mutational mechanisms allow the construction of a vast array of antibodies (each with a unique genetic sequence). Specific genes for antibodies direct the construction of antigen specific regions of the antibody molecule. Such antigen-specific regions are located at the extremes of the Y-shaped immunglobulin-molecule. Once the immune system has created an antibody for an antigen whose attack it has survived, it continues to produce antibodies for subsequent attacks from that antigen. This long-term memory of the immune system provides the basis for the practice of vaccination against disease.

Different pathways regulate different immune cells to help the body differentiate the bodies own healthy cells from disease-causing agents including bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, cancerous cells, and many more. All the components of the immune system have to continuously modify to keep the bodies defense up against the ever-evolving organisms that constantly are on a quest to find a new way to attack the host. This continuously evolving system sometimes reacts against the bodies own cells, identifying it as foreign, which leads to healthy tissue destruction and causes autoimmune diseases and cancers. Also, weakened defenses of the body by the immune system due to genetic, acquired causes precipitate an inherent state of anergy (unresponsiveness) that can lead to immunodeficiency diseases. The immune system consists of multiple levels of defense against invading pathogens. It consists of physical barriers, mechanisms of innate immunity as well as adaptive immunity. The physical barrier can be mechanical, chemical, or biological and located at different sites in the body including skin, secretions within the respiratory tract, and in the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tract as flora. The cells that have the inherent property of innate and adaptive immunity within the body are present at different sites including the blood, lymphatic system (lymph, lymphoid nodules and lymphoid organs), epithelium, and connective tissues.

I know these are parts of our immune system but I do not know how they work together and I am not clear about their functions Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: T cells belong to a group of white blood cells known as lymphocytes, and play a central role in cell-mediated immunity. They can be distinguished from other lymphocyte types, such as B cells and NK cells by the presence of a special receptor on their cell surface called the T cell receptor (TCR). The abbreviation T, in T cell, stands for thymus, since it is the principal organ in the T cell's development. Antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins) are proteins that are found in blood or other bodily fluids of vertebrates, and are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects, such as bacteria and viruses. They are typically made of basic structural units - each with two large heavy chains and two small light chains - to form, for example, monomers with one unit, dimers with two units or pentamers with five units. Antibodies are produced by a kind of white blood cell called a B cell. There are several different types of antibody heavy chain, and several different kinds of antibodies, which are grouped into different isotypes based on which heavy chain they possess. Five different antibody isotypes are known in mammals, which perform different roles, and help direct the appropriate immune response for each different type of foreign object they encounter. Although the general structure of all antibodies is very similar, a small region at the tip of the protein is extremely variable, allowing millions of antibodies with slightly different tip structures to exist."

Approximately 50% of people with lupus possesses these antibodies, and over a twenty-year period of time, one half of lupus patients with one of these antibodies—the lupus anticoagulant—will experience a blood clot. People without lupus can also have antiphospholipid antibodies. The most commonly discussed antiphospholipid antibodies are the lupus anticoagulant (LA) and anticardiolipin antibody (a CL). These two antibodies are often found together, but can also be detected alone in an individual. Other antiphospholipid antibodies include anti-beta 2 glycoprotein 1 (anti-ß2 GPI), anti-prothrombin, and the “false-positive” test for syphilis. Like other antibodies involved in lupus that are directed against self (auto-antibodies), antiphospholipid antibodies can come and go or increase and decrease. The presence of an antiphospholipid antibody such as the lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibody in an individual is associated with a predisposition for blood clots. Blood clots can form anywhere in the body and can lead to stroke, gangrene, heart attack, and other serious complications. In people with lupus, the risk of clotting does not necessarily correlate with disease activity, so the presence of these antibodies can cause problems even when a person’s lupus is in control."

"text": "Diagnosing Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Share: Systemic lupus erythematosus, commonly known as lupus, is a chronic autoimmune disease. This means that the immune system, which attacks viruses and bacteria, instead attacks healthy tissue, causing inflammation throughout the body and, sometimes, damaging tissue. Lupus can affect the blood vessels, brain, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, nervous system, or skin. Another type of lupus, cutaneous (discoid) lupus, affects only the skin. Symptoms of lupus can range from mild to serious, depending on the organs affected. Lupus involves periodic flare-ups, in which symptoms intensify, and remission, in which symptoms lessen or disappear. The most common symptoms include fatigue, painful and swollen joints, skin rashes—most notably, a butterfly-shaped rash across the face—unexplained fever, and mouth or nose ulcers. More severe lupus can cause pleuritis, an inflammation of the lining of the lungs; kidney disease; neurological conditions—those affecting the brain and spinal cord—such as weakness or memory loss; and pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac that covers the heart. Experts don’t know what causes lupus. But a family history of the disease increases risk, and hormones or chemicals may also play a role."

Posted by Leslie Samuel | Immunology, Posts Antigen-Antibody Complex The most important and common process in our immune system is the formation of antigen-antibody complexes. But first…What is an Antibody? Antibody is a protein found in our body, also known as Immunoglobins (Ig). They are serum protein s, meaning they are usually found in blood and belong to a clan of protein s called gamma globulin s. This protein is produced in response to antigens. In short, they are the poison produced by the army of our body to encounter foreign substances which invade the body. What is an Antigen? Antigens are substances produced by foreign bodies. They may be protein s, carbohydrates, nucleic acid s or lipids. They trigger the formation of antibodies."

"text": "\"7 Medications That Can Cause Incontinence By Melanie Haiken, Health Journalist | Last updated: Feb 06, 2018All Rights Reserved When you look in your medicine cabinet, chances are you're searching for help with incontinence, not worrying about making it worse. But some of the drugs you take every day may be doing just that: triggering incontinence or making a sensitive bladder overactive. Here are seven possible culprits:1. Blood pressure-lowering drugs Which ones: Alpha-blockers; brand names Cardura, Minipress, Hytrin; generic names doxazosin mesylate, prazosin hydrochloride, terazosin hydrochloride Why they may be culprits: Alpha-blockers work to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessel walls. The trouble is, they also relax the bladder along with the blood vessels. And alpha-blockers can relax the urethra, the tube leading from the bladder to outside and the muscle at the neck of the bladder. This leaves you prone to stress incontinence, which is leakage when you sneeze, cough, laugh, run, or jump. What to do: You can start by doing Kegel exercises to increase your ability to control the muscles of the bladder. Good muscle control might be able to overcome the relaxing effects of the alpha-blockers. But if leakage is really a problem, level with your doctor (despite the embarrassment -- he or she has heard it all) and ask to switch meds."

Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U. S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details. Clinical Trials.gov Identifier: NCT00043849Recruitment Status : Completed First Posted : August 15, 2002Last Update Posted : December 11, 2009Sponsor: National Institute on Aging (NIA)Information provided by: National Institute on Aging (NIA)Study Details Tabular View No Results Posted Disclaimer How to Read a Study Record Study Description Go to Brief Summary: The primary aim of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of quetiapine (Seroquel) for the treatment of psychosis and/or agitation in patients with primary dementia complicated by coexistent parkinsonism, or patients with Parkinson's disease with dementia [PDD] who have episodes of agitation or psychosis. The secondary aim is to determine the safety and tolerability, particularly the influence on parkinsonism, of quetiapine when used to treat psychosis and/or agitation in patients with dementia complicated by coexistent parkinsonism. Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase Dementia Parkinson Disease Drug: Quetiapine Phase 4Detailed Description: Psychosis and agitation often occur in the course of dementia and are a major source of patient disability and caregiver stress. For the common situation in which extrapyramidal (parkinsonian) motor dysfunction accompanies dementia, there is a therapeutic dilemma since the most frequently used drugs to treat the behavioral problems, neuroleptic antipsychotics, can worsen parkinsonism and have been associated with severe extrapyramidal reactions in some types of dementia. To date, the efficacy and tolerability of a promising alternative medication class to treat psychosis and agitation, namely atypical antipsychotics, has not been tested in patients with a primary dementia selected for coexisting parkinsonism. This is a multicenter double-blind, controlled clinical trial in which 60 subjects with a primary dementia (probable Alzheimer's disease [AD] or probable dementia with Lewy bodies [DLB]) and coexisting parkinsonism, or Parkinson's disease with dementia [PDD] will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups: (1) quetiapine (QUET); an atypical antipsychotic with a favorable extrapyramidal side effect profile), or (2) placebo. Each subject participates in the trial for 10 weeks and systematic ratings of behavior, motor function, cognition, adverse events and other outcomes occur at baseline and after 6 and 10 weeks of assigned treatment."

This drug is the first major antipsychotic from the butyrophenone series and is only available via prescription. It works by blocking several receptors in the brain, but is primarily targeted for receptors of the neurotransmitter dopamine. It is most commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of schizophrenia and psychosis, but has several other applications. Treatment Indications Dosage FAQs Important Information Before Use Safety Considerations Possible Side Effects Withdrawal from Haldol Treatment Indications Haldol is primarily used to treat schizophrenia and associated symptoms of psychosis. It may also be used to treat children and adults who display the speech and motor tics usually associated with Tourette’s syndrome. Children with severe behavioral issues—such as chronic violent behavior, explosive aggression, anger issues, or hyperactivity —who have had limited success with psychotherapy, may benefit from this medication. If you are prescribed an antipsychotic medication to treat a mental health issue, Good Therapy.org recommends pairing your treatment with a type of psychotherapy. Many prominent studies show that medication in conjunction with psychotherapy often yields the best long-term results. Therapy can help a person understand his or her condition better, and aid in developing positive, healthy coping strategies when symptoms arise or become triggered."

The symptomatic effects of drug abuse are a result of alterations in the functioning of the following neurotransmitters or their receptors: acetylcholine, dopamine, γ-aminobutyric acid, norepinephrine, opioids and serotonin. Anticholinergic drugs antagonize acetylcholine receptors. Dissociative drugs affect all transmitter sites. Opiates act on both opioid and adrenergic receptor sites. Psychedelic drugs stimulate serotonin release, and sedative-hypnotic drugs potentiate the γ-aminobutyric acid receptor.

Anti-psychotic drugs control thesymptoms of psychosis, and in many cases are effective in controlling the symptoms of otherdisorders that may lead to psychosis, including bipolar mood disorder (formerly termed manic-depressive), in which the patient cycles from severe depression to feelings of extreme excitation. This class of drugs is primarily composed of the major tranquilizers; however, lithium carbonate, a drug that is largely specific to bipolar mood disorder, is commonly classified among theantipsychotic agents.

My job was to select the best peaches from a bin, wrap each one in tissue, and pack it into a shipping crate. The peach fuzz that coated every surface of the packing shed made my nose stream and my eyelids swell. When I came home after my first day on the job, my mother was so alarmed she called the family doctor. Soon the druggist was at the door with a vial of Benadryl (diphenhydramine) tablets. The next morning I was back to normal and back on the job. Weeks later, when I collected my pay (including the ½-cent-per-crate bonus for staying until the end of the harvest), I thanked Benadryl. Today, I’m thankful my need for that drug lasted only a few weeks. In a report published in JAMA Internal Medicine, researchers offers compelling evidence of a link between long-term use of anticholinergic medications like Benadryl and dementia.

"text": "\"Anticholinergic From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Choline inhibitor)navigation search An anticholinergic agent is a substance that blocks the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the central and the peripheral nervous system. These agents inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system are responsible for the involuntary movement of smooth muscles present in the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, lungs, and many other parts of the body. Anticholinergics are divided into three categories in accordance with their specific targets in the central and peripheral nervous system: antimuscarinic agents, ganglionic blockers, and neuromuscular blockers. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Medical uses2 Recreational uses3 Side effects3.1 Toxicity4 Pharmacology5 Examples6 Plant sources7 Use as a deterrent8 References Medical uses [ edit]Anticholinergic drugs are used to treat a variety of conditions: Dizziness (including vertigo and motion sickness -related symptoms)Extrapyramidal symptoms, a potential side-effect of antipsychotic medications. Gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., peptic ulcers, diarrhea, pyloro spasm, diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, nausea, and vomiting)Genitourinary disorders (e.g., cystitis, urethritis, and prostatitis)Insomnia, although usually only on a short-term basis Respiratory disorders (e.g., asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD])Sinus bradycardia due to a hypersensitive vagus nerve Anticholinergics generally have antisialagogue effects (decreasing saliva production), and most produce some level of sedation, both being advantageous in surgical procedures. [ 2] [3]Recreational uses [ edit]When a significant amount of an anticholinergic is taken into the body, a toxic reaction known as acute anticholinergic syndrome may result. This may happen accidentally or intentionally as a consequence of recreational drug use. Anticholinergic drugs are usually considered the least enjoyable by many recreational drug users, [4] possibly because the side effects are so unpleasant and that they do not induce euphoria. There have, however, been a few reported cases of users experiencing what they described as \"\"euphoria\"\" from the use of an anticholinergic drug. ["

"text": "Back to issue The Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden APRIL 08, 2012Elena Beyzarov, Pharm DDrugs with anticholingeric properties have been linked with clouded cognition and even increased mortality. With the impending allergy season once again threatening to ruin spring, patients and health care providers share the common goal of containing the well-known allergic symptoms that appear to bloom right along with many of the offending flowering plants. Systemic antihistamines represent a major pharmacotherapy component in the management of seasonal allergies, so a discussion of recent renewed concerns over the anticholinergic effects of various medication classes—most relevantly antihistamine products—appears timely. Alarming Evidence A recent editorial published in The New York Times forewarned consumers and physicians about the underestimated ability of common “drug store staples”— including analgesics, antihistamines, and various psychotropic agents—to adversely affect brain function via interference with acetylcholine. 1 Several research endeavors were cited, one of which examined whether use of agents with “possible” or “definite” anticholinergic activity (determined according to the anticholinergic cognitive burden [ACB] scale) increased the risk of cognitive impairment and mortality in older people. 2Among the drugs listed on the ACB scale as having definite anticholinergic effects are various first-generation antihistamines (eg, diphenhydramine, brompheniramine, chlorpheniramine) that are still widely used as either stand-alone products or as components in multi-ingredient cold and allergy preparations. Although the classic prototype antihistamine diphenhydramine remains widely used for extensive allergic symptoms (particularly at night), these latest findings may be viewed as yet another incentive to reserve potent first-generation antihistamines for more severe allergic symptoms, and for more occasional, rather than regular, use. Patients (especially the elderly) seeking these products should be questioned more closely regarding patterns of use and, when possible, offered second-generation oral antihistamines (eg, loratadine, cetirizine) and/or topical (eg, intranasal, ocular) products for the regular treatment of allergic symptoms. In the highlighted study, researchers followed approximately 13,000 British men and women 65 years or older (with normal or mildly impaired cognition) for 2 years. They found that those taking more than 1 anticholinergic drug scored lower on tests of cognitive function (Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE]), and that heavy users had a 68% higher risk of mortality during the course of the study."

They include the following: Older antihistamines (\"\"first generation\"\")Nonsteroidal antinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)Decongestants (vasoconstrictors)Cough suppressants (narcotics)Anticholinergics (ipratropium)A common cold is a two step process (see How Cold Virus Infection Occurs and What Causes Cold Symptoms ). The first step is virus infection of nasal cells. The second step is the activation of the inflammatory mediators which directly cause the cold symptoms. Ideally, it is desirable to treat both parts of the process but currently drugs for treating the virus infection (antivirals) are not commercially available. Selecting Cold Treatments Based on Testing Status Cold treatments can be placed into 3 categories: Adequately tested and found to be effective and safe (see Testing Cold Treatments)Adequately tested and found not to be effective and/or safe Have not had adequate testing to determine if effective and safe Using a cold treatment which has received proper testing and is known to be effective and safe has the following advantages: The treatment will likely work for you. Most of the treatment's side effect are likely to be known. You will receive honest value.

"text": "\"“It’s Anticholinergic” – What Does That Mean? By The Carlat Psychiatry Report ~ 1 min read Anticholinergic-speak is endemic in psychiatry. Since it’s unlikely to go away, we invite you to buff up your knowledge of acetylcholine (ACh) and to review the many ways in which it makes an appearance in clinical practice. In medical school pharmacology courses, many of us were taught about cholinergic effects with the mnemonic “SLUD”: Salivation, Lacrimation, Urination, Defecation. I suggest augmenting this with a “C” standing for “Cognition.” If ACh facilitates SLUDC, drugs that are anticholinergic – for example, the tricyclics, Paxil (paroxetine), Cogentin (benztropine), Artane (trihexyphenydil), and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) – are “Anti-SLUD-C.” This means that they cause dry mouth, dry eyes (and blurry vision), urinary retention, constipation, and confusion. It’s a little more complicated, because there are actually two different ACh receptor types: muscarinic receptors, which mediate the SLUD part of SLUDC, and nicotinic, which mediate the procognitive, or “C,” part of the mnemonic. We hear a bit about nicotinic receptors in promotional talks for Razadyne (galantamine), a cholinesterase inhibitor that has the added property of modulating nicotinic receptors. We’ll also hear a whole lot more about these receptors due to the recent FDA approval of Pfizer’s Chantix (varenicline), a nicotinic receptor partial agonist that appears to be twice as effective as Zyban (bupropion) for smoking cessation. How does ACh relate to antipsychotic medications?"

Of the more than 12 species, Datura stramonium is the most common type found in the eastern United States.

There are references to it in Homer's Odyssey, and Shakespeare's plays: Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Anthony and Cleopatra.

The symptomatic effects of drug abuse are a result of alterations in the functioning of the following neurotransmitters or their receptors: acetylcholine, dopamine, γ-aminobutyric acid, norepinephrine, opioids and serotonin. Anticholinergic drugs antagonize acetylcholine receptors. Dissociative drugs affect all transmitter sites. Opiates act on both opioid and adrenergic receptor sites. Psychedelic drugs stimulate serotonin release, and sedative-hypnotic drugs potentiate the γ-aminobutyric acid receptor. Specific signs and symptoms are associated with the neurotransmitters and receptors affected by each drug class."

Readers Comment 1 Share Your Story Any underlying disease or condition that may cause loss of bladder control must be treated. For example, antibiotics are necessary for treatment of urinary tract infections, and drugs that specifically decrease symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate gland may decrease urinary urgency. Drug treatment may be directed to relax the bladder so it can hold more urine, decreasing the need for frequent urination. Other drugs help tighten the sphincter muscles to avoid uncontrolled urine leakage. Still other drugs are used to help empty the bladder for conditions in which the bladder does not empty completely."

Several groups of drugs are particularly associated with the term, notably MAOIs and tricyclics (whose serendipitous discovery and psychiatric use dates from the 1950s) as well as SSRIs and more recent variations developed by pharmaceutical companies. These medications are now amongst the most commonly prescribed by psychiatrists and general practitioners, and their effectiveness and adverse effects are the subject of many studies and competing claims. A number of other antidepressant drugs, notably St John's Wort, are also widely studied and used. Antidepressants are generally, if not in pharmacology, considered separately from stimulants. They are usually taken as a course over several weeks, months or years, and have a delayed onset of therapeutic action. Drugs used for an immediate euphoric effect only are not generally considered antidepressants."

A huge amount of research continues into how drugs affect depression sufferers, and each finding reveals a new twist. What is obvious is that despite each new development in depression medication, depression is still on the increase. By considering the side effects of medication, the wide range of conditions these drugs are used to treat, and the \"\"hit and miss\"\" success of depression drugs, what is clear is that prescribing medications for depression is far from an exact science. In fact, most drug companies will freely admit they don't really know how these drugs work in treating depression. For example, recent research show that despite their name SSRIs, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, may actually work by affecting levels of glutamate, not serotonin. Here we'll look at how antidepressants work, or at least how they were intended to work. \"\" Regarding depression as \"\"just\"\" a chemical imbalance wildly misconstrues the disorder. \"\" It is not possible to explain either the disease or its treatment based solely on levels of neurotransmitters,\"\"Yale University neurobiologist Ronald Duman, Ph.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACTChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious contemporary health issue. Psychological co-morbidities such as anxiety and depression are common in COPD. Current evidence for treatment options to reduce anxiety and depression in patients with COPD was examined. There is evidence available for the efficacy of pharmacological treatments, cognitive behavioural therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, relaxation therapy and palliative care in COPD. Therapeutic modalities that have not been proven effective in decreasing anxiety and depression in COPD, but which have theoretical potential among patients, include interpersonal psychotherapy, self-management programmes, more extensive disease management programmes, supportive therapy and self-help groups. Besides pulmonary rehabilitation that is only available for a small percentage of patients, management guidelines make scant reference to other options for the treatment of mental health problems. The quantity and quality of research on mental health treatments in COPD have historically been insufficient to support their inclusion in COPD treatment guidelines. In this review, recommendations regarding assessment, treatment and future research in this important field were made. INTRODUCTIONChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is predominantly caused by tobacco smoking and is an important cause of disability and poor health outcomes globally."

Chapter 13 Introduction: When you think of the term \"\" therapy \"\" you probably visualize a patient lying down on a couch with their therapist asking them questions and writing down notes. But what really happens during therapy? Why do people attend therapy? Are there different types of therapy? Therapy is used to help improve a person's mental, behavioral, and/or social functions, especially for those who are unable to solve their own problems and issues. Most therapy sessions follow a process of identifying the problem, identifying the cause of the problem or the conditions maintaining the problem, and deciding on an effective form of treatment to solve the problem. Therapy is used for a wide range of problems besides the DSM-IV disorders. Many people turn to trained professionals, like clinical psychologists, counseling psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatric nurse practitioners, social workers, pastoral counselors, and psychiatrists, when their problems are severe. Mental illness can be difficult for people to understand because there are no physical effects."

"text": "Treatment of mental disorders Historical overview Early history References to mental disorders in early Egyptian, Indian, Greek, and Roman writings show that the physicians and philosophers who contemplated problems of human behaviour regarded mental illnesses as a reflection of the displeasure of the gods or as evidence of demoniac possession. Only a few realized that individuals with mental illnesses should be treated humanely rather than exorcised, punished, or banished. Certain Greek medical writers, however, notably Hippocrates (flourished 400 bce ), regarded mental disorders as diseases to be understood in terms of disturbed physiology. He and his followers emphasized natural causes, clinical observation, and brain pathology. Later Greek medical writers, including those who practiced in imperial Rome, prescribed treatments for mental illness, including a quiet environment, work, and the use of drugs such as the purgative hellebore. It is probable that most people with psychoses during ancient times were cared for by their families and that those who were thought to be dangerous to themselves or others were detained at home by relatives or by hired keepers. Hippocrates, Roman bust copied from a Greek original, c. 3rd century bce; in the collection of the Antichità di Ostia, Italy. Courtesy of the Soprintendenza alle Antichità di Ostia, Italy During the early Middle Ages in Europe, primitive thinking about mental illness reemerged, and witchcraft and demonology were invoked to account for the symptoms and behaviour of people with psychoses. At least some of those who were deemed insane were looked after by the religious orders, who offered care for the sick generally. The empirical and quasi-scientific Greek tradition in medicine was maintained not by the Europeans but by the Muslim Arabs, who are usually credited with the establishment of asylums for the mentally ill in the Middle East as early as the 8th century."

The patients had been taking prescribed benzodiazepines regularly for 1-22 years and all wished to stop. On presentation, all had many symptoms which they attributed to benzodiazepines. The outcome 10 months to 3.5 years later was judged as excellent (fully recovered) in 48%, good (much better) in 22%, moderate (better) in 16% and poor (no better) in 6%. One patients failed to withdraw and three relapsed onto benzodiazepine use after withdrawal. Younger age was significantly associated with a favourable outcome, but outcome was not related to duration or dosage of benzodiazepines, type of benzodiazepine, rate of withdrawal, symptom severity, psychiatric history, marital status or sex. Introduction Dependence upon prescribed benzodiazepines is now recognized as a major clinical problem [1-4] involving perhaps half a million patients in Britain. [ 5-8]. There is growing agreement with the view that \"\"most patients currently taking benzodiazepines should stop them\"\". [ 8] However, little information is available on the outcome of withdrawal, and no large-scale, long-term results have been published. The reported outcome of benzodiazepine withdrawal in patients referred to psychiatric clinics appears discouraging."

Problem gambling is often defined by whether harm is experienced by the gambler or others, rather than by the gambler's behaviour. Severe problem gambling may be diagnosed as clinical pathological gambling if the gambler meets certain criteria. Pathological gambling is a common disorder that is associated with both social and family costs. The DSM-5 has re-classified the condition as an addictive disorder, with sufferers exhibiting many similarities to those who have substance addictions. The term gambling addiction has long been used in the recovery movement. [ 1] Pathological gambling was long considered by the American Psychiatric Association to be an impulse control disorder rather than an addiction. [ 2] However, data suggest a closer relationship between pathological gambling and substance use disorders than exists between PG and obsessive-compulsive disorder, largely because the behaviors in problem gambling and most primary substance use disorders ( i.e., those not resulting from a desire to \"\" self-medicate \"\" for another condition such as depression) seek to activate the brain's reward mechanisms while the behaviors characterizing obsessive-compulsive disorder are prompted by overactive and misplaced signals from the brain's fear mechanisms. [ 3]Problem gambling is an addictive behavior with a high comorbidity with alcohol problems. Comorbidity is the presence of one or more diseases or disorders co-occurring with each other."

Nine of the items are based upon patient report, and one is on the rater’s observation during the rating interview. MADRS items are rated on a 0–6 continuum (0=no abnormality, 6=severe). The MADRS is relatively quick to administer, and unlike the HAM-D, does not focus predominately on the somatic symptoms of depression, but rather addresses core mood symptoms such as sadness, tension, lassitude, pessimistic thoughts, and suicidal thoughts. A limitation of the MADRS in bipolar clinical trials is its absence of focus on common bipolar depressive symptoms such as feelings of worthlessness, anhedonia, and motor retardation ( Berk et al ., 2004 ). Selected psychometric properties: there appears to be relatively good correlation between MADRS and HAM-D scores. Inter-rater reliability on the MADRS with different pairs of raters has been reported to be 0.89–0.97."

Introduction Efficacy Risks of Abuse and Dependency Guidelines to Minimize Risks and Optimize Benefits Short Versus Long-Acting Opioids Side Effects Discontinuation Opioid Treatment Summary References Introduction Chronic pain is a significant public health problem and frustrating to everyone affected by it, especially the elderly who feel that healthcare has failed them but wish to remain in their own homes, live independently, and avoid becoming a burden to others. Psychiatrists offer skills with pharmacological and psychological treatments now recognized as effective in the management of chronic pain. Recent advances in the treatment of chronic pain include the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric co-morbidity, the application of psychiatric treatments to chronic pain, and the development of interdisciplinary efforts to provide comprehensive health care to the patient suffering with chronic pain. The psychiatrist can provide expertise in the examination of mental life and behavior, an understanding of the individual person and the systems in which they interact, and facilitate the integration of the delivery of medical care with other health care professionals and medical specialists. However, not all patients with pain require psychiatric evaluation, which should be reserved for patients who have severe symptoms, multiple treatment failures, or problematic behaviors such as substance abuse or noncompliance. The majority of patients can be treated exclusively and successfully by their primary physician. The use of opioids as a treatment for non-malignant chronic pain remains a subject of considerable debate. Until recently, opioids were reserved for use only in the treatment of acute pain and cancer pain syndromes. Non-malignant chronic pain was considered to be unresponsive to opioids, or the use of opioids was associated with too many risks. Fears of regulatory pressure, medication abuse and the development of tolerance create a reluctance to prescribe opioids and many studies have documented this “underutilization”."

The range of suicidal ideation varies greatly from fleeting thoughts, to extensive thoughts, to detailed planning, role playing (e.g., standing on a chair with a noose), and incomplete attempts, which may be deliberately constructed to not complete or to be discovered, or may be fully intended to result in death, but the individual survives (e.g., in the case of a hanging in which the cord breaks). Most people who have suicidal thoughts do not go on to make suicide attempts, but suicidal thoughts are considered a risk factor. [ 1] During 2008-09, an estimated 8.3 million adults aged 18 and over in the United States, or 3.7% of the adult US population, reported having suicidal thoughts in the previous year. An estimated 2.2 million in the US reported having made suicide plans in the past year. [ 2]Suicidal ideation is generally associated with depression and other mood disorders; however, it seems to have associations with many other mental disorders, life events, and family events, all of which may increase the risk of suicidal ideation. For example, many individuals with borderline personality disorder exhibit recurrent suicidal behavior and suicidal thoughts. One study found that 73% of patients with borderline personality disorder have attempted suicide, with the average patient having 3.4 attempts. [ 3] Currently, there are a number of treatment options for those experiencing suicidal ideation.

Stronger prescription pain relievers include muscle relaxants (generally used to treat muscle spasms) and antidepressants and anticonvulsants, which are sometimes used to treat nerve pain. Narcotic pain relievers are available but are generally used after surgery to treat intense pain. Sleep medications. These can include over-the-counter drugs that have a sedating effect, like antihistamines, or combination pain reliever and sleep aids, such as Tylenol PM. Hypnotics are stronger prescription medications that promote sleep, and fall into two classes: the benzodiazepines (e.g., Halcion or Restoril), and the non-benzodiazepines, benzodiazepine receptor agonists (e.g. Ambien or Lunesta). A new type of sleep medication, marketed as Rozerem, was introduced to consumers in 2006 and works by targeting the melatonin receptors in the brain that control the sleep-wake cycle."

Premature ejaculation (PE) means coming too quickly, and it's one of the most common male sexual problems. Recently, there's been quite a lot of publicity about this disorder, because of the fact that a new anti-PE drug became available on the NHS in 2014 (see below). PE is often regarded as a trivial thing, but in actual fact it can be a cause of real distress to the man. Also, partners of men with premature ejaculation can become extremely frustrated. This condition can be a major factor in the break-up of marriages. How common is it? In our survey of several thousand British males, approximately 10 per cent of them said that they often or sometimes had this trouble. We found that it's commoner in younger men – which is not surprising, as there's a distinct tendency for it to improve with age."

Drug Therapies Drug therapy, or psychopharmacotherapy, aims to treat psychological disorders with medications. Drug therapy is usually combined with other kinds of psychotherapy. The main categories of drugs used to treat psychological disorders are antianxiety drugs, antidepressants, and antipsychotics. Antianxiety Drugs Antianxiety drugs include a class of drugs called benzodiazepines, or tranquilizers. Two commonly used benzodiazepines are known by the brand names Valium and Xanax. The generic names of these drugs are diazepam and alprazolam, respectively: Effects: Benzodiazepines reduce the activity of the central nervous system by increasing the activity of GABA, the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Benzodiazepines take effect almost immediately after they are administered, but their effects last just a few hours. Psychiatrists prescribe these drugs for panic disorder and anxiety. Side effects: Side effects may include drowsiness, light-headedness, dry mouth, depression, nausea and vomiting, constipation, insomnia, confusion, diarrhea, palpitations, nasal congestion, and blurred vision."

Several groups of drugs are particularly associated with the term, notably MAOIs and tricyclics (whose serendipitous discovery and psychiatric use dates from the 1950s) as well as SSRIs and more recent variations developed by pharmaceutical companies. These medications are now amongst the most commonly prescribed by psychiatrists and general practitioners, and their effectiveness and adverse effects are the subject of many studies and competing claims. A number of other antidepressant drugs, notably St John's Wort, are also widely studied and used. Antidepressants are generally, if not in pharmacology, considered separately from stimulants. They are usually taken as a course over several weeks, months or years, and have a delayed onset of therapeutic action. Drugs used for an immediate euphoric effect only are not generally considered antidepressants."

"text": "Health Antidepressant Paxil Is Unsafe for Teenagers, New Analysis Says By BENEDICT CAREY SEPT. 16, 2015A reanalysis of a 2001 study found that Paxil, the antidepressant, is not safe for teenagers. Joe Raedle/Getty Images Fourteen years ago, a leading drug maker published a study showing that the antidepressant Paxil was safe and effective for teenagers. On Wednesday, a major medical journal posted a new analysis of the same data concluding that the opposite is true. That study — featured prominently by the journal BMJ — is a clear break from scientific custom and reflects a new era in scientific publishing, some experts said, opening the way for journals to post multiple interpretations of the same experiment. It comes at a time of self-examination across science — retractions are at an all-time high; recent cases of fraud have shaken fields as diverse as anesthesia and political science; and earlier this month researchers reported that less than half of a sample of psychology papers held up. “This paper is alarming, but its existence is a good thing,” said Brian Nosek, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, who was not involved in either the original study or the reanalysis. “ It signals that the community is waking up, checking its work and doing what science is supposed to do — self-correct. ”The authors of the reanalysis said that many clinical studies had some of the same issues as the original Paxil study, and that data should be made freely available across clinical medicine, so that multiple parties could analyze them. David Healy, one of the authors of the reanalysis, said that adverse events in the original study involved suicidal thinking or behavior but were mislabeled."

However, the partnership between the psychiatry and pharmaceutical company has turned the psychiatric drug industry into an $80 billion profit center People are led to believe that chemical imbalance is the cause of psychological problems and that drugs are needed to correct this. Yet, there is no scientific proof for this belief.

Patient information: See related handout on antidepressant discontinuation syndrome, written by the authors of this article. Antidepressant discontinuation syndrome occurs in approximately 20 percent of patients after abrupt discontinuation of an antidepressant medication that was taken for at least six weeks. Typical symptoms of antidepressant discontinuation syndrome include flu-like symptoms, insomnia, nausea, imbalance, sensory disturbances, and hyperarousal. These symptoms usually are mild, last one to two weeks, and are rapidly extinguished with reinstitution of antidepressant medication. Antidepressant discontinuation syndrome is more likely with a longer duration of treatment and a shorter half-life of the treatment drug. A high index of suspicion should be maintained for the emergence of discontinuation symptoms, which should prompt close questioning regarding accidental or purposeful self-discontinuation of medication. Before antidepressants are prescribed, patient education should include warnings about the potential problems associated with abrupt discontinuation. Education about this common and likely underrecognized clinical phenomenon will help prevent future episodes and minimize the risk of misdiagnosis."

A huge amount of research continues into how drugs affect depression sufferers, and each finding reveals a new twist. What is obvious is that despite each new development in depression medication, depression is still on the increase. By considering the side effects of medication, the wide range of conditions these drugs are used to treat, and the \"\"hit and miss\"\" success of depression drugs, what is clear is that prescribing medications for depression is far from an exact science. In fact, most drug companies will freely admit they don't really know how these drugs work in treating depression. For example, recent research show that despite their name SSRIs, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, may actually work by affecting levels of glutamate, not serotonin. Here we'll look at how antidepressants work, or at least how they were intended to work. \"\" Regarding depression as \"\"just\"\" a chemical imbalance wildly misconstrues the disorder. \"\" It is not possible to explain either the disease or its treatment based solely on levels of neurotransmitters,\"\"Yale University neurobiologist Ronald Duman, Ph.

Email: [email protected] ABSTRACTChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious contemporary health issue. Psychological co-morbidities such as anxiety and depression are common in COPD. Current evidence for treatment options to reduce anxiety and depression in patients with COPD was examined. There is evidence available for the efficacy of pharmacological treatments, cognitive behavioural therapy, pulmonary rehabilitation, relaxation therapy and palliative care in COPD. Therapeutic modalities that have not been proven effective in decreasing anxiety and depression in COPD, but which have theoretical potential among patients, include interpersonal psychotherapy, self-management programmes, more extensive disease management programmes, supportive therapy and self-help groups. Besides pulmonary rehabilitation that is only available for a small percentage of patients, management guidelines make scant reference to other options for the treatment of mental health problems. The quantity and quality of research on mental health treatments in COPD have historically been insufficient to support their inclusion in COPD treatment guidelines. In this review, recommendations regarding assessment, treatment and future research in this important field were made. INTRODUCTIONChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is predominantly caused by tobacco smoking and is an important cause of disability and poor health outcomes globally."

An arrangement of psychoactive drugs Psychopharmacology (from Greek ψῡχή, psȳkhē, \"\"breath, life, soul\"\"; φάρμακον, pharmakon, \"\"drug\"\"; and -λογία, -logia) is the scientific study of the effects drugs have on mood, sensation, thinking, and behavior. It is distinguished from neuropsychopharmacology, which emphasizes the correlation between drug-induced changes in the functioning of cells in the nervous system and changes in consciousness and behavior. [ 1]The field of psychopharmacology studies a wide range of substances with various types of psychoactive properties, focusing primarily on the chemical interactions with the brain. The term \"\"psychopharmacology\"\" was probably first coined by David Macht in 1920. Psychoactive drugs interact with particular target sites or receptors found in the nervous system to induce widespread changes in physiological or psychological functions.

The range of suicidal ideation varies greatly from fleeting thoughts, to extensive thoughts, to detailed planning, role playing (e.g., standing on a chair with a noose), and incomplete attempts, which may be deliberately constructed to not complete or to be discovered, or may be fully intended to result in death, but the individual survives (e.g., in the case of a hanging in which the cord breaks). Most people who have suicidal thoughts do not go on to make suicide attempts, but suicidal thoughts are considered a risk factor. [ 1] During 2008-09, an estimated 8.3 million adults aged 18 and over in the United States, or 3.7% of the adult US population, reported having suicidal thoughts in the previous year. An estimated 2.2 million in the US reported having made suicide plans in the past year. [ 2]Suicidal ideation is generally associated with depression and other mood disorders; however, it seems to have associations with many other mental disorders, life events, and family events, all of which may increase the risk of suicidal ideation. For example, many individuals with borderline personality disorder exhibit recurrent suicidal behavior and suicidal thoughts. One study found that 73% of patients with borderline personality disorder have attempted suicide, with the average patient having 3.4 attempts. [ 3] Currently, there are a number of treatment options for those experiencing suicidal ideation.

[ 1] It is often accompanied by low self-esteem, loss of interest in normally enjoyable activities, low energy, and pain without a clear cause. [ 1] People may also occasionally have false beliefs or see or hear things that others cannot.

[ 1] [3] Between 2–7% of adults with major depression die by suicide, [2] and up to 60% of people who die by suicide had depression or another mood disorder. [ 6]The cause is believed to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. [ 1] Risk factors include a family history of the condition, major life changes, certain medications, chronic health problems, and substance abuse.

Practical point If a patient practices good sleep behaviors but regularly wakes up during the night because of pain, it could indicate an undetected medical condition that should be discussed with a physician. Pain medication. These include analgesics (e.g. Tylenol), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen (e.g., Advil), naproxen (e.g., Aleve), and the new COX-2 inhibitors. Stronger prescription pain relievers include muscle relaxants (generally used to treat muscle spasms) and antidepressants and anticonvulsants, which are sometimes used to treat nerve pain. Narcotic pain relievers are available but are generally used after surgery to treat intense pain. Sleep medications. These can include over-the-counter drugs that have a sedating effect, like antihistamines, or combination pain reliever and sleep aids, such as Tylenol PM. Hypnotics are stronger prescription medications that promote sleep, and fall into two classes: the benzodiazepines (e.g., Halcion or Restoril), and the non-benzodiazepines, benzodiazepine receptor agonists (e.g. Ambien or Lunesta). A new type of sleep medication, marketed as Rozerem, was introduced to consumers in 2006 and works by targeting the melatonin receptors in the brain that control the sleep-wake cycle."

Chapter 13 Introduction: When you think of the term \"\" therapy \"\" you probably visualize a patient lying down on a couch with their therapist asking them questions and writing down notes. But what really happens during therapy? Why do people attend therapy? Are there different types of therapy? Therapy is used to help improve a person's mental, behavioral, and/or social functions, especially for those who are unable to solve their own problems and issues. Most therapy sessions follow a process of identifying the problem, identifying the cause of the problem or the conditions maintaining the problem, and deciding on an effective form of treatment to solve the problem. Therapy is used for a wide range of problems besides the DSM-IV disorders. Many people turn to trained professionals, like clinical psychologists, counseling psychologists, psychoanalysts, psychiatric nurse practitioners, social workers, pastoral counselors, and psychiatrists, when their problems are severe. Mental illness can be difficult for people to understand because there are no physical effects."

"text": "Drugs Causing Lowering of Sodium Level or Hyponatremia Drugs are one of the causes implicated in the development of lowering of sodium level or hyponatremia. Drugs that cause hyponatremia include: Diuretics: Thiazides, bumetanide, indapamide, ethacrynic acid, furosemide. Diuretics affect the balance between sodium and water and are among the most common drugs implicated in the development of hyponatremia. Antidepressants: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, protriptyline, desipramine), monoamine oxidase inhibitors, venlafaxine. Among these, the selective serotonin uptake inhibitors are particularly implicated in causing hyponatremia. Antipsychotic drugs: Phenothiazines (thioridazine, trifluperazine), butyrophenones (haloperidol). Antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs cause hyponatremia through the development of SIADH. Antiepileptic drugs: Carbamezepine, oxcarbazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine. Carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and sodium valproate cause an increase in production of ADH, whereas carbamazepine and lamotrigine cause potentiation of ADH effect. Oxcarbazepine has been found to cause hyponatremia more commonly as compared to carbamazepine."

Anyone considering the use of Pristiq or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Pristiq is not approved for use in pediatric patients [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1), Use in Specific Populations (8.4), and Patient Counseling Information (17.1)].advertisement1 Indications and Usage Pristiq, a selective serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) [see Clinical Studies ( 14) and Dosage and Administration ( 2.1)]. The efficacy of Pristiq has been established in four 8-week, placebo-controlled studies of outpatients who met DSM-IV criteria for major depressive disorder. A major depressive episode (DSM-IV) implies a prominent and relatively persistent (nearly every day for at least 2 weeks) depressed or dysphoric mood that usually interferes with daily functioning, and includes at least 5 of the following 9 symptoms: depressed mood, loss of interest in usual activities, significant change in weight and/or appetite, insomnia or hypersomnia, psychomotor agitation or retardation, increased fatigue, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, slowed thinking or impaired concentration, or a suicide attempt or suicidal ideation.top2 Dosage and Administration2.1 Initial Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder The recommended dose for Pristiq is 50 mg once daily, with or without food."

Sodium is an electrolyte, and it helps regulate the amount of water that's in and around your cells. In hyponatremia, one or more factors — ranging from an underlying medical condition to drinking too much water during endurance sports — causes the sodium in your body to become diluted. When this happens, your body's water levels rise, and your cells begin to swell. This swelling can cause many health problems, from mild to life-threatening. Hyponatremia treatment is aimed at resolving the underlying condition. Depending on the cause of hyponatremia, you may simply need to cut back on how much you drink.

The manifestations mainly depend upon the degree of leukopenia or rather neutropenia. The clinical features seen are due to the bacterial infections. It is necessary to consider [7] neutrophil count as this is the most abundant type of white blood cells and an important marker of infection. The main symptoms of leukopenia are: Anemia: A low level of hemoglobin occurs with decrease in white blood cells. The reason is not yet clearly known but can be due to blood dyscrasias and an increased number of red blood cells that are required for oxygen to be circulated. Fatigue: Due to anemia, patient will also show malaise on slightest exertion. Fever : Due to decrease in level of immunity and white blood cells, patient is at a higher risk of opportunistic infections. Fever is a strong indication of some infection. Pneumonia: Once infection enters the body, it is most likely to infect lungs."

"text": "Hyponatremia and Hypernatremia in the Elderly PRINT COMMENTSSHAREA more recent article on this topic is available. JOHN P. KUGLER, COL, MC, USA, and THOMAS HUSTEAD, CPT, MC, USA, Dewitt Army Community Hospital, Fort Belvoir, Virginia Am Fam Physician. 2000 Jun 15;61 (12):3623-3630. Management of abnormalities in water homeostasis is frequently challenging. Because age-related changes and chronic diseases are often associated with impairment of water metabolism in elderly patients, it is absolutely essential for clinicians to be aware of the pathophysiology of hyponatremia and hypernatremia in the elderly. The sensation of thirst, renal function, concentrating abilities and hormonal modulators of salt and water balance are often impaired in the elderly, which makes such patients highly susceptible to morbid and iatrogenic events involving salt and water. Clinicians should use a systematic approach in evaluating water and sodium problems, utilizing a comprehensive history and physical examination, and a few directed laboratory tests to make the clinical diagnosis. Furthermore, clinicians should have a clear appreciation of the roles that iatrogenic interventions and lapses in nutrition and nursing care frequently play in upsetting the homeostatic balance in elderly patients, particularly those who are in long-term institutional and inpatient settings. The aging process is frequently accompanied by various maladaptations to stress in different organ systems and physiologic functions. The complex mechanisms associated with water metabolism are particularly vulnerable to age-related maladaptations and to the various disease processes and medical interventions that frequently occur in the elderly."

"text": "Drugs & Diseases > Nephrology Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion Updated: Apr 22, 2017Author: Christie P Thomas, MBBS, FRCP, FASN, FAHA; Chief Editor: Vecihi Batuman, MD, FASN more... Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication References Practice Essentials The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is defined by the hyponatremia and hypo-osmolality resulting from inappropriate, continued secretion or action of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) despite normal or increased plasma volume, which results in impaired water excretion. [ 1] The key to understanding the pathophysiology, signs, symptoms, and treatment of SIADH is the awareness that the hyponatremia results from an excess of water rather than a deficiency of sodium. Signs and symptoms Depending on the magnitude and rate of development, hyponatremia may or may not cause symptoms. The history should take into account the following considerations: In general, slowly progressive hyponatremia is associated with fewer symptoms than is a rapid drop of serum sodium to the same value Signs and symptoms of acute hyponatremia do not precisely correlate with the severity or the acuity of the hyponatremia Patients may have symptoms that suggest increased secretion of AVP, such as chronic pain, symptoms from central nervous system or pulmonary tumors or head injury, or drug use Sources of excessive fluid intake should be evaluated The chronicity of the condition should be considered After the identification of hyponatremia, the approach to the patient depends on the clinically assessed volume status. Prominent physical findings may be seen only in severe or rapid-onset hyponatremia and can include the following: Confusion, disorientation, delirium Generalized muscle weakness, myoclonus, tremor, asterixis, hyporeflexia, ataxia, dysarthria, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, pathologic reflexes Generalized seizures, coma See Presentation for more detail. Diagnosis In the absence of a single laboratory test to confirm the diagnosis, SIADH is best defined by the classic Bartter-Schwartz criteria, which can be summarized as follows [ 2]: Hyponatremia with corresponding hypo-osmolality Continued renal excretion of sodium Urine less than maximally dilute Absence of clinical evidence of volume depletion Absence of other causes of hyponatremia Correction of hyponatremia by fluid restriction The following laboratory tests may be helpful in the diagnosis of SIADH: Serum sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate Plasma osmolality Serum creatinine Blood urea nitrogen Blood glucose Urine osmolality Serum uric acid Serum cortisol Thyroid-stimulating hormone Plasma AVP level The patient’s volume should be assessed clinically to help rule out the presence of hypovolemia. Imaging studies that may be considered include the following: Chest radiography (for detection of an underlying pulmonary cause of SIADH)Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the head (for detection of cerebral edema occurring as a complication of SIADH, for identification of a CNS disorder responsible for SIADH, or for helping to rule out other potential causes of a change in neurologic status)See Workup for more detail. Management Treatment of SIADH and the rapidity of correction of hyponatremia depend on the following: Degree of hyponatremia Whether the patient is symptomatic Whether the syndrome is acute (<48 hours) or chronic Urine osmolality and creatinine clearance If the duration of hyponatremia is unknown and the patient is asymptomatic, it is reasonable to presume chronic SIADH. Diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause of SIADH are also important. In an emergency setting, aggressive treatment of hyponatremia should always be weighed against the risk of inducing central pontine myelinolysis (CMP)."

"text": "Low Blood Sodium (Hyponatremia)Symptoms Causes Risk factors Diagnosis Treatment Prevention Hypernatremia What does it mean to have low blood sodium? Sodium is an essential electrolyte that helps maintain the balance of water in and around your cells. It’s important for proper muscle and nerve function. It also helps maintain stable blood pressure levels. Insufficient sodium in your blood is also known as hyponatremia. It occurs when water and sodium are out of balance. In other words, there’s either too much water or not enough sodium in your blood. Normally, your sodium level should be between 135 and 145 milliequivalents per liter (m Eq/L). Hyponatremia occurs when your sodium level goes below 135 m Eq/L. Symptoms Symptoms of low sodium in blood Symptoms of low blood sodium can vary from person to person. If your sodium levels fall gradually, you may not experience any symptoms."

Elderly patients appear to be at greatest risk. Recently, Kirby and Ames reviewed this subject. 1 Normal serum sodium is 135 to 145 mmol/L, which keeps plasma osmolality between 280 and 300 m Osm/kg. This homeostatic regulation is achieved by changes in thirst and antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which mediate fluid intake and control urine volume. Because of renal and other changes, patients over 70 years old are particularly vulnerable to SSRI-induced hyponatremia and can take longer to recover. Other risk factors for SSRI-induced hyponatremia include female gender, treatment with other medications that can lower serum sodium (eg, thiazide diuretics), a previous history of hyponatremia, and excessive fluid intake. The incidence of hyponatremia in people over 65 years taking fluoxetine (Prozac and others) was originally estimated to be 5. 4 cases per 1000 patients, 2 but the true incidence may be higher. Among 53 elderly patients taking SSRIs, 28% of those taking fluoxetine and 22% of those receiving paroxetine (Paxil) had hyponatremia."

Certain drugs (eg, diuretics, antidepressants, and antiepileptics) have been implicated as established causes of either asymptomatic or symptomatic hyponatremia. However, hyponatremia occasionally may develop in the course of treatment with drugs used in everyday clinical practice (eg, newer antihypertensive agents, antibiotics, and proton pump inhibitors). Physicians may not always give proper attention in time to undesirable drug-induced hyponatremia. Effective clinical management can be handled through awareness of the adverse effect of certain pharmaceutical compounds on serum sodium levels.

"text": "\"Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH, Vasopressin)Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), or arginine vasopressin (AVP), is a peptide hormone produced by the hypothalamus, and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. ADH acts on the kidneys, concentrating the urine by promoting the reabsorption of water and salt into the cortical collecting duct. ADH is activated by \"\"water receptors\"\" in both the extracellular fluid volume and the intracellular fluid volume. Ethanol and caffeine block the release of ADH from the posterior pituitary gland. This decrease in water reabsorption leads to a higher volume of urine output. In the extracellular fluid the activators are maily baroreceptors in the veins, atria, and arterioles. In the intracellular fluid the activators are mainly osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is normally produced in the neurohypophysis to regulate plasma osmolality. The characteristic syndrome due to ADH hypersecretion was first described in 1957 by Schwartz. The two key features of this syndrome are hyponatremia with hyposmolarity and inappropriately concentrated urine."

Flag What part of the body does the antidiuretic hormone come from? Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) is synthesized by nuclei in a particular part of the hypothalamus called the paraventricular nucleus. Once ADH is synthesized it is transported down the axons of the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus to the posterior pituitary where it is then released into the blood circulation. ADH synthesis is increased during dehydration as it acts on the kidneys to prevent water excretion. This is achieved by effectively making a region of the kidneys more permeable to water, among other things. Disorders of the hypothalamus can cause Central Diabetes Insipidus, where the bdy is unable to manufacture ADH and you will quickly become dehydrated if water consumption is stopped.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?

The means of control and the speed of the endocrine system are very different from those of the nervous system. • The nervous system regulates the activity of muscles and glands via electrochemical impulses delivered by neurons, and those organs respond within milliseconds. • The endocrine system influences metabolic activity by means of hormones, which are chemical messengers released into the blood to be transported throughout the body. Binding of a hormone to cellular receptors initiates responses that typically occur after a lag period of seconds or even days. But, once initiated, those responses tend to be much more prolonged than those induced by the nervous system. o Reproduction o Growth and Development o Maintenance of Electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of the blood o Regulation of cellular metabolism and energy balance o Mobilization of body defenses Indicate important differences between hormonal and neural controls of body functioning2.

TSH, ACTH, FSH etc control other endocrine systems. Hence Pituitary is called the master endocrine gland although it itself is controlled by hypothalamus. Palma · 2 years ago0 0 Comment The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is an endocrine gland about the size of a pea that sits in the small, bony cavity (sella turcica) at the base of the brain is the master endocrine gland. The pituitary gland secretes hormones regulating a wide variety of bodily activities, including trophic hormones that stimulate other endocrine glands. For a while, this led scientists to call it the master gland, but now we know that it is in fact regulated by hormones released from the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland is physically attached to the brain by the pituitary, or hypophyseal stalk connected with the median eminence. It is divided into two sections: the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) and the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis). Posterior pituitary Its posterior lobe is connected to a part of the brain called the hypothalamus via the infundibulum (or stalk), giving rise to the tuberoinfundibular pathway."

This complex secretes several hormones that directly produce responses in target tissues, as well as hormones that regulate the synthesis and secretion of hormones of other glands. In addition, the hypothalamus–pituitary complex coordinates the messages of the endocrine and nervous systems. In many cases, a stimulus received by the nervous system must pass through the hypothalamus–pituitary complex to be translated into hormones that can initiate a response. The hypothalamus is a structure of the diencephalon of the brain located anterior and inferior to the thalamus (Figure 1). It has both neural and endocrine functions, producing and secreting many hormones. In addition, the hypothalamus is anatomically and functionally related to the pituitary gland (or hypophysis), a bean-sized organ suspended from it by a stem called the infundibulum (or pituitary stalk). The pituitary gland is cradled within the sellaturcica of the sphenoid bone of the skull. It consists of two lobes that arise from distinct parts of embryonic tissue: the posterior pituitary (neurohypophysis) is neural tissue, whereas the anterior pituitary (also known as the adenohypophysis) is glandular tissue that develops from the primitive digestive tract. The hormones secreted by the posterior and anterior pituitary, and the intermediate zone between the lobes are summarized in Table 1."

"text": "\"Hormone (redirected from Chemical messenger) Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Encyclopedia .hormone [ hor´mōn] a chemical transmitter substance produced by cells of the body and transported by the bloodstream to the cells and organs on which it has a specific regulatory effect. adj., adj hormo´nal. Hormonesact as chemical messengers to body organs, stimulating certain life processes and retardingothers. Growth, reproduction, control of metabolic processes, sexual attributes, and even mentalconditions and personality traits are dependent on hormones. Hormones are produced by various organs and body tissues, but mainly by the endocrine glands, such as the pituitary, thyroid, and gonads (testes and ovaries). Each gland apparently synthesizesseveral kinds of hormones; the adrenal glands alone produce more than 25 varieties. The totalnumber of hormones is still unknown, but each has its unique function and its own chemicalformula. After a hormone is discharged by its parent gland into the capillaries or the lymph, it maytravel a circuitous path through the bloodstream to exert influence on cells, tissues, and organs (target organs) far removed from its site of origin. One of the best-known endocrine hormones is insulin, a protein manufactured by the beta cells of the islands of Langerhans in the pancreas that is important in carbohydrate metabolism."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone)navigation search Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion Synonym Schwartz-Bartter syndrome, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD)Specialty Endocrinology Syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion ( SIADH) is characterized by excessive unsuppressible release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) either from the posterior pituitary gland, or an abnormal non-pituitary source. Unsuppressed ADH causes an unrelenting increase in solute-free water being returned by the tubules of the kidney to the venous circulation. ADH is derived from a preprohormone precursor that is synthesized in cells in the hypothalamus and stored in vesicles in the posterior pituitary. Appropriate ADH secretion is regulated by osmoreceptors on the hypothalamic cells that synthesize and store ADH: plasma hypertonicity activates these receptors, ADH is released into the blood stream, the kidney increases solute-free water return to the circulation, and the hypertonicity is alleviated. Inappropriate ADH secretion causes a unrelenting increase in solute-free water (\"\"free water\"\") absorption by the kidneys, with two consequences. First, in the extracellular fluid (ECF) space, there is a dilution of blood solutes, causing hypo osmolality, including a low sodium concentration - hyponatremia. Then virtually simultaneously, in the intracellular space, cells swell, i.e. intracellular volume increases. Swelling of brain cells causes various neurological abnormalities which in severe or acute cases can result in convulsions, coma, and death. The causes of SIADH are grouped into six categories: 1) central nervous system diseases that directly stimulate the hypothalamus, the site of control of ADH secretion; 2) various cancers that synthesize and secrete ectopic ADH; 3) various pulmonary diseases; 4) numerous (at least seventeen) drugs that chemically stimulate the hypothalamus; 5) inherited mutations that cause aquaporins always to be \"\"turned on\"\"; and 6) miscellaneous largely transient conditions. [ 1]Potential treatments of SIADH include restriction of fluid intake, correction of an identifiable reversible underlying cause, and/or medication which promotes solute-free water excretion by the kidney."
