( wikimedia/commons)By Ken Mandel | Sunday, 30 November 2014 11:21 AMEmail Article | Contact | Print | A ATweet Scientists say animals are being affected by global warming as climate change, which has occurred naturally throughout history, has accelerated over the past century through increased CO2 emissions. If an animal can't respond to climate changes by migration or adaptation, extinction is the logical progression. ALERT: Is Global Warming a Hoax? Vote Now Here are some at-risk land mammals: • Polar bear: Because of its home in the Arctic Circle, the polar bear is often depicted as the animal most in affected by climate change. The reduction in sea ice and fewer ringed seals — the bears' primary prey — are contributing factors. Less sea ice lowers the number of seals, and makes hunting harder and more time consuming, reducing time for reproduction, says the New England Aquarium. Higher temperatures lead to more open water, and force polar bears to swim further for stable patches. As a result, the U. S. Geological Service report in 2007 estimated that the current population would of about 22,000 would shrink by two-thirds by 2050. Polar bears have been listed as an endangered species by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service since 2008. •"

The Desert’s “mean annual temperature exceeds 86 degrees and it could get up to as high as 122 degrees in the summer, and as low as 30 degrees in the winter” (7). This tells us that there is an extreme difference in temperature every year. The desert has minimal and sporadic precipitation. It is located in a climate divide, where the ITCZ moves up from the south but doesn’t quite reach the Sahara desert, and the winter rainfall of North Africa does not move far south enough to have the rain hit the Sahara. The desert has an average of 25mm per year, due to its location in a climate divide. Due to this extremely low-level precipitation, and extremes of temperature, not many species are found in the Sahara Desert. The few species that survive in the arid weather of the Sahara are highly adapted. The most famous ones are the dromedary camels, addax antelopes, gazelles, monitor lizards, and scorpions, which continue to adapt and survive the harsh, extreme conditions.

Secondary effects of global warming, such as lessened snow cover, rising sea levels, and weather changes, may influence not only human activities but also the ecosystem. For the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, experts assessed the literature on the impacts of climate change on ecosystems. Rosenzweig et al.

"text": "\"The Effects of Climate Change on Animal Species Abstract The current global warming trend is causing physical and biological changes to occur throughout the entire planet and is impacting regional climates, ecosystems, and the organisms that inhabit them in a number of ways. Animal species can only survive within specific ranges of climatic and environmental factors, if conditions change beyond the tolerance of species, or to rapidly for evolutionary adaptations, then animals mayexhibit ecological responses to these changes. The threat of extinction to species who are unable to adapt or have limited habitat is expected to increase with climatic changes, and the extinction of some species has already been directly linked to climate change. Changes is animals phenology, such as migration, breeding and spring appearance, has occurred throughout the world and is linked to seasonal variability. Changes in the spatial distribution of animals, particularly poleward and elevational shifts, is occurring as suitable habitat disappears or extends beyond its current range. Arctic and marine ecosystems are undergoing physical environmental changes that are effecting the species that inhabit them. Temperature change and melting sea ice in the arctic is adversely affecting the species of the region, and sea level rise, increased sea temperature and higher p H are among the issues changing the planets marine ecosystems. Spread of pests and disease are occurring as a result of milder temperatures. All of these changes threaten the planets ecological biodiversity and changes projected for the environment will increasingly affect all life on Earth. Climate Change Climate Change is occurring as a result of the greenhouse effect, which is the amount of solar radiation that is trapped in Earth's atmosphere, and which regulates the temperature of Earth."

This web page will inform about ecosystems and how they are being destroyed by global warming. What is global warming? Global warming is the increase in the Earth's temperature caused by the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen. Greenhouse gases prevent infrared radiaiton from escaping into space and those gases maintain the earth's warm temperature. The increasing levels of greenhouse gases resulting from industry and buring of fossil fuels is likely to result in rising global temperatures."

But it's important to distinguish between the natural greenhouse effect and potential human impacts on it (the 'anthropogenic' greenhouse effect). Remember that, in the absence of the natural greenhouse effect, global temperatures would be too low to sustain life as we know it. The naturally-occurring greenhouse effect is due to the fact that a number of gases in the atmosphere absorb infra-red radiation (heat) emitted from the Earth's surface: instead of being radiated into space, this heat warms the atmosphere. These gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2 O), and ozone (O 3) . Methane makes up just 0.00017% of the Earth's atmosphere. However, it is an important greenhouse gas, with a much greater warming potential than CO2. Methane is generated through anaerobic decay of organic material The amount of methane in the atmosphere is the result of a balance between production on the surface and destruction in the atmosphere. CH 4 remains in the atmosphere for between 8 and 12 years. It's removed by being oxidised in the troposphere, first to carbon monoxide (CO) and finally to CO 2 and hydrogen gas (H 2 ).return to top Anthropogenic greenhouse gases However, human activities generate additional 'greenhouse gases'."

"text": "What is Air Pollution? Pollution is now a common place term, that our ears are attuned to. We hear about the various forms of pollution and read about it through the mass media. Air pollution is one such form that refers to the contamination of the air, irrespective of indoors or outside. A physical, biological or chemical alteration to the air in the atmosphere can be termed as pollution. It occurs when any harmful gases, dust, smoke enters into the atmosphere and makes it difficult for plants, animals and humans to survive as the air becomes dirty. Air pollution can further be classified into two sections- Visible air pollution and invisible air pollution. Another way of looking at Air pollution could be any substance that holds the potential to hinder the atmosphere or the well being of the living beings surviving in it. The sustainment of all things living is due to a combination of gases that collectively form the atmosphere; the imbalance caused by the increase or decrease of the percentage of these gases can be harmful for survival. Read here more about 40 facts of air pollution."

Credit: ESAGlobal warming is expected to have far-reaching, long-lasting and, in many cases, devastating consequences for planet Earth. Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Despite political controversy about climate change, a major report released Sept. 27, 2013, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that scientists are more certain than ever of the link between human activities and global warming. More than 197 international scientific organizations agree that global warming is real and has been caused by human action. Already, global warming is having a measurable effect on the planet. \"\" We can observe this happening in real time in many places. Ice is melting in both polar ice caps and mountain glaciers.

It is the biggest species of bear in the world (with the exception of the Kodiak Brown Bears found in Alaska which can reach similar sizes) with males often weighing-in at around 600kg. Thought to be closely related to the Brown Bear, the Polar Bears' name actually means \"\"Sea Bear\"\" as they are known to not just spend a great deal of time close to the coast, but are also strong and capable swimmers that have been spotted up to 100 miles from the closest ice or land. They are however being devastatingly affected by global warming as the ice that they rely so heavily on is disappearing fast and has led to the Polar Bear becoming a strong symbol of the effects of climate change. Polar Bear populations have also fallen across the Arctic Ocean due to hunting, pollution and drilling for oil and gas leading to them being as listed as a threatened species. Polar Bear Anatomy and Appearance Adult Polar Bears typically measure more than two meters in length and weigh around half a tonne. Females though are much lighter than their male counterparts that are almost double their weight. Polar Bears are one of the few large mammals found in such hostile conditions and have adapted well to their life on the ice. Their fur is thick and dense and is made up of a warm undercoat with longer guard hairs on top that are clear, hollow tubes that trap warmth from the sun and transmit it directly down to their black skin, which then absorbs the welcome heat. The Polar Bear has a strong and muscular body with broad front paws that help when paddling in the water, and fur on the bottom of its feet that not only helps to keep them warm but also gives the Polar Bear extra grip when moving about on the ice."

Keywords: effects of deforestation, causes of deforestation, solution to deforestation The word deforestation is used to describe the process of cutting down and burning the trees in forest and woodland and converting the land to other use. It also means that the nature of trees have changed, such as replacing slow growing native trees with fast growing woods which means that the precious eco-system of the forest into less bio-diverse ecosystems such as pasture, cropland, plantations and removal of rainforest. Forests still cover about 30 percent of the Earth's surface, but each year about 13 million hecters of forest (approximately 78,000square miles) are converted to agricultural land or cleared for other purposes. There are two key issues that surround deforestation. Trees absorb CO2, helping to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Carbon is one of the key causes of global warming and reducing these gases will help to slow and stop the greenouse effect. The other issue is that trees are often cleared and burned."

The burning of fossil fuels is bad because it causes carbon dioxide levels to rise in the atmosphere. This extra carbon dioxide adds to the enhanced greenhouse effect causing global warming. This is why burning fossil fuels is bad. If we use more fuels then we should, the planet and mankind itself suffers in the long term. Pollution is a natural and problematic affect of this overuse. It causes pollution. Fossil fuels are bad for the environment because they create greenhouse gases which go up in to the atmosphere and magnify the suns heat which can cause ice caps to melt then that leads to the sea level rising which causes flooding and if too much ice melts animals in the Arctic could die.21 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "\"Climate Change Affects Biodiversityby Anup Shah This Page Last Updated Sunday, January 19, 2014The link between climate change and biodiversity has long been established. Although throughout Earth’s history the climate has always changed with ecosystems and species coming and going, rapid climate change affects ecosystems and species ability to adapt and so biodiversity loss increases. Biodiversity and Climate Change, Convention on Biological Diversity, December, 2009From a human perspective, the rapid climate change and accelerating biodiversity loss risks human security (e.g. a major change in the food chain upon which we depend, water sources may change, recede or disappear, medicines and other resources we rely on may be harder to obtain as the plants and forna they are derived from may reduce or disappear, etc.). The UN’s Global Biodiversity Outlook 3, in May 2010, summarized some concerns that climate change will have on ecosystems: Climate change is already having an impact on biodiversity, and is projected to become a progressively more significant threat in the coming decades. Loss of Arctic sea ice threatens biodiversity across an entire biome and beyond. The related pressure of ocean acidification, resulting from higher concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, is also already being observed. Ecosystems are already showing negative impacts under current levels of climate change … which is modest compared to future projected changes…. In addition to warming temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events and changing patterns of rainfall and drought can be expected to have significant impacts on biodiversity. Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (2010), Global Biodiversity Outlook 3, May, 2010, p.56Some species may benefit from climate change (including, from a human perspective, an increases in diseases and pests) but the rapid nature of the change suggests that most species will not find it as beneficial as most will not be able to adapt. On this page: Climate change impacts on biodiversity in the Arctic Climate change means ocean change Increasing ocean acidification Increasing ocean stratification Increasing oceanic dead zones Coral reefs threatened by climate change Lizards threatened by climate change Other examples Climate change impacts on biodiversity in the Arctic The Arctic, Antarctic and high latitudes have had the highest rates of warming, and this trend is projected to continue, as the above-mentioned Global Biodiversity Outlook 3 notes (p. 56)."

Many organisms, including aspen trees, reproduce by cloning. In biology, cloning is the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals that occurs in nature when organisms such as bacteria, insects, plants or animals reproduce asexually. Cloning in biotechnology refers to processes used to create copies of DNA fragments ( molecular cloning ), cells (cell cloning), or organisms (organism cloning). The term also refers to the production of multiple copies of a product such as digital media or software. The term clone, invented by J. B. S. Haldane, is derived from the Ancient Greek word κλών klōn, \"\"twig\"\", referring to the process whereby a new plant can be created from a twig. In horticulture, the spelling clon was used until the twentieth century; the final e came into use to indicate the vowel is a \"\"long o\"\" instead of a \"\"short o\"\". [ 1] [2] Since the term entered the popular lexicon in a more general context, the spelling clone has been used exclusively. In botany, the term lusus was traditionally used. ["

The scene then turns to Penny Proud, who is celebrating her 16th birthday in her hometown of Wizardville, California, and fails her driver's ed. She and her friends are excited to be a part of 15 Cent's (Sticky's cousin and parody of 50 Cent) dance group, Spare Change. When 15 Cent drives her home, Oscar Proud, her over-protective father, gets mad when he finds them kissing. After Oscar gives her the worst grounding of her life, and essentially forbids her from ever becoming an adult, Penny wishes he wasn't her father, to which he states he wished he never had her as a daughter. This marks the culmination of their relationship as seen over the entire series. Oscar has invented an everlasting multiplying formula that was supposed to make his Proud Snacks tastier, but it instead causes the snack to expand and explode. As he is hauled away from his presentation, he proclaims that his formula has no expiration date."

Despite the potential benefit of using human ES cells in the treatment of disease, their use remains controversial because of their derivation from early embryos. Here, we address some of the ethical issues surrounding the use of human embryos and human ES cells in the context of state‐of‐the‐art research on the development of stem cell based transplantation therapy. Key words: cell therapy/cloning/embryos/ethics/stem cells Issue Section: OPINIONSIntroduction Human embryonic stem cells (h ES cells) are currently discussed not only by the biologists by whom they were discovered but also by the medical profession, media, ethicists, governments and politicians. There are several reasons for this. On the one hand, these ‘super cells’ have a major clinical potential in tissue repair, with their proponents believing that they represent the future relief or cure of a wide range of common disabilities; replacement of defective cells in a patient by transplantation of h ES cell‐derived equivalents would restore normal function. On the other hand, the use of h ES cells is highly controversial because they are derived from human pre‐implantation embryos. To date, most embryos used for the establishment of h ES cell lines have been spare embryos from IVF, but the creation of embryos specifically for deriving h ES cells is also under discussion. The most controversial variant of this is the transfer of a somatic cell‐nucleus from a patient to an enucleated oocyte (unfertilized egg) in order to produce h ES cells genetically identical to that patient for ‘autologous’ transplantation (so‐called ‘therapeutic’ cloning); this may prevent tissue rejection. The question ‘Can these cells be isolated and used and, if so, under what conditions and restrictions’ is presently high on the political and ethical agenda, with policies and legislation being formulated in many countries to regulate their derivation."

Genetics is a term that refers to the study of genes and their roles in inheritance - in other words, the way that certain traits or conditions are passed down from one generation to another. Genetics involves scientific studies of genes and their effects. Genes (units of heredity) carry the instructions for making proteins, which direct the activities of cells and functions of the body. Examples of genetic or inherited disorders include cystic fibrosis (See: Learning About Cystic Fibrosis ), Huntington's disease ( Learning About Huntington's Disease ), and phenylketonuria (PKU) ( Learning About Phenylketonuria ). Genomics is a more recent term that describes the study of all of a person's genes (the genome), including interactions of those genes with each other and with the person's environment."

[ 1]Birth Dolly was born on 5 July 1996 and had three mothers: one provided the egg, another the DNA, and a third carried the cloned embryo to term. [ 6] She was created using the technique of somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the cell nucleus from an adult cell is transferred into an unfertilized oocyte (developing egg cell) that has had its cell nucleus removed. The hybrid cell is then stimulated to divide by an electric shock, and when it develops into a blastocyst it is implanted in a surrogate mother. ["

The term is generally used to refer to artificial human cloning; human clones in the form of identical twins are commonplace, with their cloning occurring during the natural process of reproduction. Although genes are recognized as influencing behavior and cognition, \"\"genetically identical\"\" does not mean altogether identical; almost no one would deny that identical twins, despite being natural human clones with identical DNA, are separate people, with separate experiences and not altogether overlapping personalities. However undramatic it may sound, the relationship between an \"\"original\"\" and a clone is rather like that between identical twins raised apart; they share all the same DNA, but little of the same environment.

Potential Hazards and Risks to Animals Involved in Cloning This analysis identifies hazards and characterizes risks to animals involved in somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) in the context of other assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) in use in current US agricultural practice. Although hazards have been identified in the literature, a systematic assessment of potential risks is difficult, due to the relative newness of the technology, and the variability in outcomes among laboratories and species cloned. This section reviews the publicly available information and applies existing knowledge of animal biology and agricultural practices to cast that information in a risk context. In addition to characterizing hazards, this chapter identifies information gaps that when filled may provide a more complete understanding of the risks to animals associated with SCNT technology. It is not intended to be an overview of all the techniques used to produce clones, nor does it review studies that attempt to optimize the early stages of clone embryo production. Rather, this analysis focuses on those studies relevant to the overall objective of this risk assessment, namely, identifying the biological risks that cloning poses to animal health. Because of the diversity of approaches in the peer-reviewed studies, CVM has relied on various ARTs including an earlier type of “cloning” called blastomere nuclear transfer (BNT) for context. Current agricultural statistics also are used to provide readers with a frame of reference for these technologies (see Appendix B). Outcomes for various ARTs are located in Appendix C. Peer-reviewed reports of primary findings were used as references for SCNT, while some recent reviews of artificial insemination (AI), embryo transfer (ET), and in vitro produced embryos (IVP), as well as primary data reports, were employed as references for the older ARTs. Most of the studies on SCNT and other ARTs that are of utility for identifying and assessing risk to animals, and that make up the subject of this Risk Assessment are in ruminants."

[2] The series debuted on Cartoon Network on October 3, 2008. [ 3] It is set in the fictional Star Wars galaxy during the three years between the prequel films Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, the same time period as the previous 2D 2003 TV series Star Wars: Clone Wars. Each episode has a running time of 22 minutes to fill a half-hour time slot. In 2007, Star Wars creator George Lucas stated \"\"there will be at least 100 episodes produced [about five seasons]\"\". [ 4]Dave Filoni is the supervising director of the series. [ 5] Genndy Tartakovsky, director of the first Clone Wars series, was not involved with the production, [6] but character designer Kilian Plunkett referred to the character designs from the 2D series when designing the characters for the 3D series. [ 7] There is also an online comic, [8] depicting story-snippets between the single episodes."

Copyright The Columbia University Press Annelida (ənĕl´Ĭdə) [Lat., anellus =a ring], phylum of soft-bodied, bilaterally symmetrical (see symmetry, biological ), segmented animals, known as the segmented, or annelid, worms. Over 12,000 known species are grouped in three classes: the earthworms and freshwater worms (oligochaetes), the leeches (hirudineans), and the marine worms (polychaetes). Annelids are found throughout the world, from deep ocean bottoms to high mountain glaciers. They live in protected habitats such as mud, sand, and rock crevices, and in and among other invertebrate animals, such as sponges. Many live in tubes they secrete around themselves. Annelid Characteristics Segmented Bodies The fundamental characteristic of the phylum is the division of the body into a linear series of cylindrical segments, or metameres. Each metamere consists of a section of the body wall and a compartment of the body cavity with its internal organs. The external divisions, which may be seen in the common earthworm, correspond to the internal divisions."

"text": "\"Respiration - How it works Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Vanessa Forms of Respiration Respiration can be defined as the process by which an organism takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide, one in which the circulating medium of the organism (e.g., the blood) comes into contact with air or dissolved gases. Either way, this means more or less the same thing as breathing. In some cases, this meaning of the term is extended to the transfer of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream and, eventually, into cells or the release of carbon dioxide from cells into the bloodstream and thence to the lungs, from whence it is expelled to the environment. Sometimes a distinction is made between external respiration, or an exchange of gases with the external environment, and internal respiration, an exchange of gases between the body's cells and the blood, in which the blood itself \"\"bathes\"\" the cells with oxygen and receives carbon dioxide to transfer to the environment. This is just one meaning—albeit a more familiar one—of the word respiration. Respiration also can mean cellular respiration, a series of chemical reactions within cells whereby food is \"\"burned\"\" in the presence of oxygen and converted into carbon dioxide and water. This type of respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert dioxide and water, with the aid of solar energy, into complex organic compounds known as carbohydrates. ( For more about carbohydrates and photosynthesis, see Carbohydrates. ) How Gases Move Through the Body Later in this essay, we discuss some of the ways in which various life-forms breathe, but suffice it to say for the moment—hardly a surprising revelation!—that the human lungs and respiratory system are among the more complex mechanisms for breathing in the animal world. In humans and other animals with relatively complex breathing mechanisms (i.e., lungs or gills), oxygen passes through the breathing apparatus, is absorbed by the bloodstream, and then is converted into an unstable chemical compound (i.e., one that is broken down easily) and carried to cells."

"text": "\"Difference Between Nematodes and Annelids Posted on February 2, 2012 by Naveen Nematodes vs Annelids Both Nematodes and Annelids are invertebrates with elongated bodies, and they prominently feature among worms. Although they both are very important animals for humans in many ways, the knowledge about Nematodes and Annelids is much low among people. Therefore, the majority of people would not know how to distinguish these animals from each other. Hence, the need to understand their characteristics is high, and this article would help a lot for that. Nematodes Nematodes, the members of the Phylum: Nematoda, are also known as Round worms. There are about one million nematode species according to some of the estimations, and already there are 28,000 have been described. The majority of the Nematodes (16,000 species) are parasitic, and that is the reason for the notoriety about the round worms. The largest member of the phylum is about five centimetres long, but the average length is about 2.5 millimetres. The smallest species cannot be observed unless there is the aid of a microscope. Nematodes have complete digestive systems with the mouth at one end of the body while anus located at the other end."

Planarians have bilateral symmetry, which is associated with the development of a head region, such as that seen in the flatworm. Another feature first seen in the flatworm is the possession of three cell layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm (the middle layer). This is important for the development of organ systems, also first seen in the flatworms. Describe asexual and sexual reproduction in the planarian. Planaria are capable of both asexual and sexual reproduction. During asexual reproduction, a planarian can attach to a substrate, stretch its body, and break in two. Each half can then regenerate the parts needed to form a whole new organism."

"text": "Science & Mathematics Biology Why Arthropods are more complex than Annelids? In your answer discuss one of the systems (digestive, nervous, excretory, respiratory or reproductive)Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: First off look at the species of Arthropods and Annelids and then pick one of each to look at in more detail and compare. An annelid is something like an earthworm, whereas an arthropod would be an insect. Some insects are secondary consumers, I think most annelids are primary consumers. Insects need a more specialised berve system, that branches into their limbs. Annelids are basically long tubes so the nervous system is less complex. Also look at the brain structure, size and place if you choose to do the nervous system. Insects have a network of trachaea through their body to get oxygen, annelids take in oxygen through their skin. Respiration is more than where the oxygen comes from though, so look closer. I remember something about spiders having book lungs (spiders are arachnids, arachnae is a class of the order arthropoda)."

Asymmetry 2. Radial 3. Bilateral Bilateral symmetry - dorsal, ventral, left, right, anterior, posterior sides - usually have sensory equipment along with this symmetry at anterior end - allows for movement Tissues - collections of specialized cells that act as a functional unit - true tissues are isolated from other tissues by membranous layers - sponges don't have them - in all other animals, embryo becomes layered in gastruatlion - these GERM LAYERS form various tissues and organs of the body Ectoderm - germ layer covering surface of embryo, gives rise to the outer covering of the animal, and in some phyla, to the central nervous system Endoderm innermost germ layer, lines the pouch that forms during gastrulation and gives rise to lining of digestive tract and organs such as liver and lungs of vertebrates Diploblastic - only ectoderm and endoderm Triploblastic - all bilaterally symmetrical animals - three tissue layers - ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm Mesoderm - fills much of the space between the ectoderm and endoderm - forms muscles and other organs between digestive tract and outer covering of animal Body cavity - a fluid or air-filled space located between the digestive tract and outer body wall - called a coelom - many functions - fluid cushions suspended organs, help prevent internal injury - enables organs to grow and move independently of outer body wall True coelom - forms from tissue derived from mesoderm - inner and outer layers of tissue that surround the cavity connect and form structures that suspend the internal organs - animals with true coelom are known as coelomates Pseudocoelomate - animals that have a body cavity that is formed from mesoderm and endoderm. - not false, it si a fully functional body cavity Acoelomate - triploblastic animals lack a body cavity altogether Protostome vs Deuterostome - two types of early development - different cleavage, coelom formation and fate of blastopore Spiral cleavage - protostome - planes of cell division are diagonal to the vertical axis of the embryo - smaller cells in 8 celled embryo are centered over the grooves between larger, underlying cells Determinate cleavage - protostome - rigidly casts the developmental fate of each embryonic cell very early - a cell isolated from a snail at the four-cell stage, for example, cannot develop into a whol animal. Instead, after repeated divisions, such a cell will form an inviable embryo that lacks many parts Radial cleavag - deuterostomes - cleavage planes are either parallel or perpindicular to vertical axis of embryo in 8-cell stage - one directly above the other Indeterminate cleavage - each cell produced by early cleavage divisions retains the capacity to develop into a complete embryo - if cells of a sea urchin embryo are separated at the four-cell stage, each can form a complete larva - indeterminate cleavage of human zygote make identical twins possible Archenteron - during gastrulation, embryo's developing digestive tube initially forms as a blind pouch - becomes the gut - protstome: initally solid masses of mesoderm split and form the coelom (schizocoelous) - deuterostome: mesoderm buds from the wall of archenteron and its cavity becomes the coelom Blastopore - indentation that during gastrulation leads to formation of archenteron - After archenteron develops, most animals form a second opening at opposite end of gastrula - in many species, blastopore and this second opening become two openings of digestive tube: mouth and anus - protostome: first opening (blastopore) develops into mouth - deuterostome: first opening (blastopore) develops into anus Metazoa - all animals are in this monophyletic clade - all extant and extinct animal lineages have descended from a common ancestor Sponges - basal animals among extant taxa Eumetazoa - clade of animals with true tissues - all animals except for sponges and a few others - true tissues evolved in common acnestor of living eumetazoans - basal eumetazoans: cnidarians (diploblastic and radially symmetrical)Bilateria - most animal phyla belong to this clade Three clades of Bilaterian animals - Deuterostomia - Lophotrochozoa - Ecdysozoa Deuterostomia - bilaterian clade that has all chordates Ecdysozoa - animals that secrete external skeletons (molt) - as animal grows, it molts, squirming out of its old exoskeleton and secreting a larger one - based on molecular data that support common ancestry of its members - some taxa excluded from this clade by their molecular data, such as certain species of leeches, molt as well Lophotrochozoa - clade that refers to two different features observed in some animals belonging to this clade - Lophophore and trochophore Lophophore - crown of ciliated tentacles around the mouth that function in feeding Trochophore larva - distinctive developmental stage in molluscs and annelids CHAPTER 33 ...

In addition, the Pogonophora, Echiura and Sipuncula, previously regarded as separate phyla, are now regarded as sub-groups of polychaetes."

"text": "Alternative Titles: Mollusca, mollusc Mollusk, also spelled mollusc, any soft-bodied invertebrate of the phylum Mollusca, usually wholly or partly enclosed in a calciumcarbonate shell secreted by a soft mantle covering the body. Along with the insects and vertebrates, it is one of the most diverse groups in the animal kingdom, with nearly 100,000 (possibly as many as 150,000) described species. Each group includes an ecologically and structurally immense variety of forms: the shell-less Caudofoveata; the narrow-footed gliders (Solenogastres); the serially valved chitons (Placophora or Polyplacophora); the cap-shaped neopilinids (Monoplacophora); the limpets, snails, and slugs (Gastropoda); the clams, mussels, scallops, oysters, shipworms, and cockles (Bivalvia); the tubiform to barrel-shaped tusk shells (Scaphopoda); and the nautiluses, cuttlefishes, squids, and octopuses (Cephalopoda). General features Size range and diversity of structure Typical molluscan features have been substantially altered, or even lost, in many subgroups. Among the cephalopods the giant squids ( Architeuthis ), the largest living invertebrates, attain a body length of eight metres (more than 26 feet); with the tentacle arms extended, the total length reaches to 22 metres. Other cephalopods exceed a length of one metre. Many of the remaining molluscan classes show a large variation in size: among bivalves the giant clam ( Tridacna) ranges up to 135 centimetres (four feet) and the pen shell ( Pinna) from 40 to 80 centimetres; among gastropods the sea hares ( Aplysia) grow from 40 to 100 centimetres and the Australian trumpet, or baler ( Syrinx ), up to 60 centimetres; among placophores the gumshoe, or gumboot chiton ( Cryptochiton ), achieves a length up to 30 to 43 centimetres; and, among solenogasters, Epimenia reaches a length of 15 to 30 centimetres. Finally, gastropods of the family Entoconchidae, which are parasitic in echinoderm sea cucumbers, may reach a size of almost 1.3 metres. In contrast, there are also minute members, less than one millimetre (0.04 inch) in size, among the solenogasters and gastropods. Distribution and abundance The mollusks have adapted to all habitats except air."

"text": "Structure and Function of Animals In order to survive, animals must be able to coordinate the functions of their many specialized cells, take in and digest food, pull oxygen from the air, circulate nutrients and oxygen to their cells, eliminate wastes, move, maintain body temperature, and reproduce. Animals have also developed various behaviors that help them to survive. Control Systems Humans and other highly evolved animals have developed two main systems for coordinating and synchronizing the functions of their millions of individual cells. The nervous system works rapidly by transmitting electrochemical impulses. The endocrine system is a slower system of control; it works by releasing chemical signals into the circulation. In addition to coordinating essential bodily functions, these two control systems allow the animal to react to both its external and internal environments. The Nervous System The nervous system functions by the almost instantaneous transmission of electrochemical signals. The means of transmission are highly specialized cells known as neurons, which are the functional unit of the nervous system. The neuron is an elongated cell that usually consists of three main parts: the dendrites, the cell body, and the axon. The typical neuron contains many dendrites, which have the appearance of thin branches extending from the cell body."

Adult sponges are sessile, meaning that they attach themselves to a surface and do not move. Because they are sessile, sponges are filter feeders, screening food out of the water that flows through their body. Cnidaria Freshwater hydra, jellyfish, and corals go through a transition in body forms. The medusa stage (bell-shaped) is specialized for swimming and the polyp stage (vase-shaped) is specialized for a sessile life. All members of the phylum have these two stages at one time in their life, even though the medusa stage may be found only as an embryo. All cnidarians have tentacles containing cnidocysts and nematocysts, specialized stinging cells for defense and capturing food. Nematoda Roundworms have a long, slender body that tapers at both ends. They range in length from 1 millimeter to 4 feet in length."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Sun flower sea star regenerates its arms Dwarf yellow-headed gecko with regenerating tail In biology, regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration, and growth that makes genomes, cells, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to natural fluctuations or events that cause disturbance or damage. [ 1] Every species is capable of regeneration, from bacteria to humans. [ 2] [3] Regeneration can either be complete [4] where the new tissue is the same as the lost tissue, [4] or incomplete [5] where after the necrotic tissue comes fibrosis. [ 5] At its most elementary level, regeneration is mediated by the molecular processes of gene regulation. [ 6] [7] Regeneration in biology, however, mainly refers to the morphogenic processes that characterize the phenotypic plasticity of traits allowing multi-cellular organisms to repair and maintain the integrity of their physiological and morphological states. Above the genetic level, regeneration is fundamentally regulated by asexual cellular processes. [ 8] Regeneration is different from reproduction. For example, hydra perform regeneration but reproduce by the method of budding. The hydra and the planarian flatworm have long served as model organisms for their highly adaptive regenerative capabilities. [ 9] Once wounded, their cells become activated and start to remodel tissues and organs back to the pre-existing state. ["

[ 1] [2] In appearance they have variously been compared to worms with legs, caterpillars, and slugs. [ 3] They prey upon smaller animals such as insects, which they catch by squirting an adhesive slime. Approximately 200 species have been described, although the true number of species is likely greater. The two extant families of velvet worms are Peripatidae and Peripatopsidae. They show a peculiar distribution, with the peripatids being predominantly equatorial and tropical, while the peripatopsids are all found south of the equator. It is the only phylum within animalia that is wholly endemic to terrestrial environments. [ 4] Velvet worms are considered close relatives of the Arthropoda and Tardigrada, with which they form the taxon Panarthropoda. [ 5] This makes them of palaeontological interest, as they can help reconstruct the ancestral arthropod. In modern zoology, they are particularly renowned for their curious mating behaviour and for bearing live young."

Another difference is that deer antlers are branched and antelope horns are not. Antelopes belong to family Bovidae (as do sheep, goat and cattle), while deer belong to family Cervidae. Both are even-toed ungulates (hoofed animals) and ruminant mammals. Comparison chart Differences —Similarities —Antelope versus Deer comparison chart Antelope Deer Introduction (from Wikipedia) Antelopes are several even-toed ungulate species in Africa and Eurasia, comprising a miscellaneous group within the family Bovidae, encompassing those Old World species that are neither cattle, sheep, buffalo, bison, nor goats.

Well, 2015 is the “Year Of The Goat.” Chinese New Year 2015 begins on February 19, 2015 and ends on March 5, 2015 and this year is a special one. Not only is it the year of the goat, but it’s the year of the “Wood Goat.” This reportedly occurs every 60 years. According to the Chinese zodiac theory, it’s an important year for “goats” because it is their Ben Ming Nian. The definition of Ben Ming Nian is: In Chinese tradition, Ben Ming Nian (本命年) refers to the year of zodiac animal in which one was born. As there are 12 animals (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig), one undergoes a 12-year cycle to reach his or her Zodiac Year of Birth.

Persistence hunting (sometimes called endurance hunting or cursorial hunting) is a hunting technique in which hunters, who may be slower than their prey over short distances, use a combination of running, walking, [1] and tracking to pursue prey until it is exhausted. Grey wolves, African wild dogs, spotted hyenas, lungless spiders, [ citation needed] and humans are adapted to using this hunting strategy. A persistence hunter must be able to run a long distance over an extended period of time. Humans are the only surviving primate species who practice persistence hunting. In addition to a capacity for endurance running, human hunters have comparatively little hair, which makes sweating an effective means of cooling the body. [ 2] Meanwhile, ungulates and other mammals may need to pant to cool down enough, [2] which also means that they must slow down if not remain still. [ 3]Persistence hunting is believed to have been one of the earliest hunting strategies used by humans.

This large, muscular, hoofed mammal is sometimes referred to as a goat antelope, because it has things in common with both goats and antelope. But the takin is most closely related to sheep and to the goat-like aoudad, or Barbary sheep, of North Africa. Because of their large, powerful bodies and impressive horns, takins have few natural enemies other than bears, wolves, leopards, and dholes. They are generally slow moving but can react quickly if angered or frightened. When needed, takins can leap nimbly from rock to rock. If they sense danger, takins warn others with a loud \"\"cough\"\" that sends the herd running for cover in the dense underbrush, where they lie down to avoid being seen. Takins can also make an intimidating roar or bellow. They look a bit silly as they do this, with their mouths open and tongues sticking out, but don't be fooled: keepers call them \"\"goats with attitude\"\" and never enter the enclosures with the takins.

These animals are spread relatively evenly throughout the various subfamilies of Bovidae and many are more closely related to cows or goats than to each other. There are many species of antelope, ranging in size from the tiny Royal Antelope to the ox-like Elands. Male antelope are noted for their horns, which are permanent, unlike the annually-shed antlers of deer, and which often take on extravagant curved shapes such as arcs and helices. The midrange antelope, such as gazelles, impala, and blackbuck antelope, typically have a light and elegant frame, slender, graceful limbs, small cloven hoofs, and a short tail. Small antelope and large antelope can both be quite variable in form, but tend to have proportionally shorter legs and thicker builds than the mid-sized antelope. Antelope exhibit different defensive behaviors based on their size, habitat, and number. Small solitary antelope tend to live in dense forested areas, and defend themselves by hiding. Duikers get their name from this ability to dive into the vegetation."

The animal and plant kingdoms were the only two kingdoms in the traditional Linnaean classification system (which had no \"\"domains\"\" - I'll get to that later). Lately we have added bacteria, fungi, and a couple of other kingdoms that don't exactly fit the description of plants. A \"\"phylum\"\" is a large group of related animals or of related plants (or of related bacteria, etc.)"

"text": "Environment Mountain Goat Facts: Animals of North America These highly adaptive mammals are known as much for being able to keep their balance on rocky ledges as they are for their iconic horns. Mountain goats have managed to make homes all along much of the mountainous regions of the continent. Physical Description The mountain goat, or what’s scientifically known as the Oreamnos americanus, is also commonly referred to as the Rocky Mountain goat. It is very commonly found thriving in the mountains, cliffs and cold highlands of North America. Mountain goats are characterized by their large hooves, elongated faces, stubby tails, and black horns. Beard-like hair on the chins of both the male and female members of the species are present, along with a thick, wooly, fur covering that keeps them warm during winter, especially for those living in highly elevated mountain areas. Mountain goats are well equipped for scaling rocky and steep ledges, having powerful, muscular forequarters. Their hooves are not only pliable, but are also supported with tough, rubbery pads as well, making their feet well equipped for dealing with craggy rocks. Diet The Mountain, or Rocky Mountain, goat, when living in the wild or in the cold grasslands or cliffs of North America, has been observed to thrive rather well upon a mostly green diet consisting of lichens, shrubs, sedges, grasses, herbs, fern mosses and leaves. These are sourced from plants that grow on the highly elevated habitat of these animals."

The word antelope has been used to describe a wide variety of horned mammals in the Family Bovidae. There are even some species within the Bovidae family that are known as goat-antelope! This web page, will focus on some of the species in the Antilopinae subfamily, animals commonly called antelope as well as those such as impalas, gazelles, and gnu or wildebeest. Be sure to see Goats & Sheep, Oryx, and Nile Lechwe to read about other Antilopinae subfamily members. Horns or antlers? All antelope have horns; in some species they are only found on the males, whereas in others, such as gazelles, both males and females have them. The horns are made of a bony core encased in a hard material made largely of keratin (the same substance our fingernails are made of!). Horns are permanently attached, unlike a deer’s antlers, which are shed each year. Some horns, like those of the addax and blackbuck, twist in interesting spirals; others are ridged or corrugated, like those of the impala and the sable antelope; still others grow in wide curves with a sharp point on the end, like those of the gnu."

Edit Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. How a goat reproduces or gives birth: The female goat gets mated with by a buck when she is in heat. If she sees a buck that is older, bigger and more attractive than the other buck that is trying to mate with her, she won't let him near her. A buck in the paddock will eventually mate with her. The gestation period for a goat is 150 - 155 days. A couple of days before giving birth, the doe/nanny will spend time in a place away from the herd. On the day of giving birth, the doe/nanny will become restless and may roll around. Finally, she will lie there and give birth to a single, twins or triplets."

When an antigen enters the body, it stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. ( The immune system is the body's natural defense system.) The antibodies attach, or bind, themselves to the antigen and inactivate it. Every healthy adult's body has small amounts of thousands of different antibodies. Each one is highly specialized to recognize just one kind of foreign substance. Antibody molecules are typically Y-shaped, with a binding site on each arm of the Y. The binding sites of each antibody, in turn, have a specific shape. Only antigens that match this shape will fit into them. The role of antibodies is to bind with antigens and inactivate them so that other bodily processes can take over, destroy, and remove the foreign substances from the body. Antigens are any substance that stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies."

"text": "Antigen-presenting Cells: B and T cells B and T cells, parts of the adaptive immune response, contain receptors that can identify antigens derived from pathogens. Learning Objectives Explain the role played by B and T cells in the adaptive immune system Key Takeaways Key Points The adaptive immune response is slower to develop than the innate immune response, but it can act much more powerfully and quickly than the innate immune response against pathogens that it has seen before. B and T cells are lymphocytes, or white blood cells, which are able to recognize antigens that distinguish “self” from “other” in the body. B and T cells that recognize “self” antigens are destroyed before they can mature; this helps to prevent the immune system from attacking its own body. Key Terms B cell: a lymphocyte, developed in the bursa of birds and the bone marrow of other animals, that produces antibodies and is responsible for the immune system T cell: a lymphocyte, from the thymus, that can recognize specific antigens and can activate or deactivate other immune cellsantigen: a substance that binds to a specific antibody; may cause an immune response Introduction The adaptive, or acquired, immune response to an initial infection takes days or even weeks to become established, much longer than the innate response. However, adaptive immunity is more specific to an invading pathogen and can fight back much more quickly than the innate response if it has seen the pathogen before. Adaptive immunity occurs after exposure to an antigen either from a pathogen or a vaccination. An antigen is a molecule that binds to a specific antibody, often stimulating a response in the immune system as a result. The adaptive immune response activates when the innate immune response insufficiently controls an infection. In fact, without information from the innate immune system, the adaptive response could not be mobilized."

In vertebrates, the immune system is considered the last line of defense against foreign invaders. It fights by destroying pathogens and tumor cells using mechanisms that constantly adapt to recognize and rid these disease causing cells. This mechanism is needed so that the immune system does not attack itself or the organisms healthy cells. Unfortunately, pathogens can evolve rapidly which would allow it to avoid the immune system and attack the host. There are many mechanisms that have evolved that allow for the immune system to recognize and even neutralize pathogens.

The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work harmoniously to defend the body against foreign invaders. Primarily, the foreign invaders are microbes that can cause infection (bacteria, parasites, or fungi). The immune system works to keep foreign invaders out of the body, or if they do enter the body, to find and destroy them. How Does the Immune System Work? The immune system operates like a sophisticated communications system. When a foreign invader enters the body, the immune system is alerted. At that point, the immune system cells are activated and start to produce powerful chemicals. Immune cells communicate by direct physical contact or they can communicate by releasing chemical messengers. The skin serves as an initial barrier to invading microbes."

Some antibody tests Antigen tests What are antibodies and antigens? Antibodies are small proteins that circulate in the bloodstream. They are part of the body's defence (immune) system and are sometimes called immunoglobulins. They are made by a type of white blood cell (a B lymphocyte). Antibodies attach to proteins and other chemicals in the body, which they recognise to be not normally found in the body ('foreign'). The foreign proteins and chemicals that antibodies attach to are called antigens. Antibodies and infection Antibodies help to defend us against infection. Bacteria, viruses and other germs have proteins on their surface, called antigens."

Most people have a general idea of what antibodies do, but they don’t realize their crucial relationship with antigens. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the difference between these two, what their functions are, and how they are used in medical procedures. What Are the Differences Between Antigen and Antibody? The easiest way to get a better idea for the difference between antigen and antibody is to take a look at a close comparison of the two. They have different structures, functions, and locations within the body. One is generally considered a good thing to have as it protects your body while the other can provoke a negative reaction. Antigen Antibody What Is It? An antigen is a foreign particle that can create an immune response within a person’s body. They are also known by the term immunogenicity and can include pollen, viruses, bacteria, or chemicals."

B cells and T cells operate in the adaptive immune response--the immune system's third and final line of defense. T cells work with B cells in their distinct roles in the immune system. Background The immune system can be divided into three parts: surface barriers like skin and mucous membranes, internal defenses like fever, inflammation and phagocytes--cells that engulf and destroy foreign invaders, and adaptive defenses. The adaptive defenses involve the B and T lymphocytes and can be further divided into two subcategories: humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity. B cells function in humoral immunity."

Organization and Development of the Immune System The immune system is a wonderful collaboration between cells and proteins that work together to provide defense against infection. These cells and proteins do not form a single organ like the heart or liver. Instead, the immune system is dispersed throughout the body to provide rapid responses to infection ( Figure 1 ). Cells travel through the bloodstream or in specialized vessels called lymphatics. Lymph nodes and the spleen provide structures that facilitate cell-to-cell communication. The bone marrow and thymus represent training grounds for two cells of the immune system (B-cells and T-cells, respectively). The development of all cells of the immune system begins in the bone marrow with a hematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cell ( Figure 2 ). This cell is called a “stem” cell because all the other specialized cells arise from it."

"text": "Antigens and antibodies are essentially at war with each other inside most human bodies. Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are Y-shaped molecules found in the blood that fight against foreign substances known as antigens. Antigens are proteins or polysaccharides of bacteria, chemical, or virus that attack the immune system. They can also cause allergic reactions due to dander, food, or pollen. Generally, antigens can also be life-threatening in blood transfusions and organ transplants. For example, if a patient receives a blood transfusion and his or her body treats the new blood as a foreign substance, the antibodies can severely attack the immune system. With organ transplants, the tissue cells of the transplant could be rejected by the immune system. In both examples, this could lead to a major infection or even death. Not all foreign antigens are environmental. For example, cancer cells are antigens that develop within the body."

Agglutination Imagine pouring a bowl of cereal and accidentally spilling it on the floor, leaving flakes scattered all around. What do you do? Most likely, you'll grab a broom and dust pan. You'll then use the broom to collect the cereal flakes into a nice pile, making it easier to get the cereal into the dust pan. The human immune system has a similar system for handling foreign substances, which have entered the body. Think of the spilled cereal flakes as invading bacteria, toxins, fungi, or viruses. Your immune system can deal with these foreign bodies by consolidating them, just as you would collect a mess by sweeping it into a pile."

"text": "Antibody deficienciesbackground Antibody deficiencies, also called immunoglobulin deficiency syndromes, are immune system disorders that are characterized by low or absent levels of immunoglobulin in the blood. Immunoglobulins (Ig) are antibodies that play an essential role in the body's immune system. They detect and bind to foreign substances (like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or allergens) that enter the body. This signals other immune cells to destroy the foreign substance. The antibodies are present in the bloodstream or bound to the outer surfaces of B-cells or plasma cells. There are five classes of immunoglobulins: Ig A, Ig D, Ig E, Ig G, and Ig M. Patients who have antibody deficiencies may have reduced or absent levels of one or more types of immunoglobulin. In most cases, the cause of antibody deficiency is unknown, although some disorders may be genetic (passed down from parent to child). Immunoglobulin A (Ig A) antibodies are primarily found in the nose, airway passages, digestive tract, ears, eyes, saliva, tears, and vagina. These antibodies protect body surfaces that are frequently exposed to foreign organisms and substances from outside of the body. The Ig A antibodies make up about 10-15% of the antibodies found in the body."

Neutralize viruses and bacterial toxins, tag bacteria for complement so they get blown up, tag invading parasites/worms/ew so your immune cells can kill them, antibodies even make nice cancer therapies. One of the great things about antibodies is that the cells that make them? They ‘ remember ‘ what theyve seen before. Thats how vaccines work– you expose someone to a crappy polio virus, your body figures out how to neutralize it, and if youre exposed to Real Virulent Polio, your body has a cheat-sheet. Your body already has memory B-cells that know how to neutralize the virus, it doesnt have to scramble to figure out a right answer while the Real Virulent Polio is causing disease. Thus, if you get your polio vaccine, you will never experience disease caused by the polio virus, even if youre exposed to it. But things dont always go according to plan, like with Dengue viruses: Enhanced Infection of Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells in a Mouse Model of Antibody-Induced Severe Dengue Disease Normally, the more you are exposed to a virus, the milder the disease gets, if you get a ‘disease’ at all. The exact opposite happens with dengue. There are four ‘flavors’ of dengue."

There are some people out there on the internet, who, out of frustration, believe that you should forget about asking a doctor to order tests for you and just order them for yourself. In their defense, many doctors do not order the appropriate tests to do proper management of thyroid patients. There is too much emphasis put on some tests, and not enough on others that can give a great deal of information about how you are doing and how your medication is working.

"text": "You may need to ask to get the results of your blood test. Getty Images FAST FACTSUnless you ask, you might not find out what your blood test results really mean for your health. False-negative and false-positive test results can happen, so be prepared to follow-up and be sure of your health status. Even if test results seem normal, it's a good practice to discuss them with your healthcare provider. A typical routine blood test is the complete blood count, also called CBC, to count your red and white blood cells as well as measure your hemoglobin levels and other blood components. This test can uncover anemia, infection, and even cancer of the blood. Another common blood test is the basic metabolic panel to check your heart, kidney, and liver function by looking at your blood glucose, calcium, and electrolyte levels. To check for heart disease risk, you may have a lipoprotein panel that measures levels of fats in your blood, like good cholesterol (HDL), bad cholesterol (LDL), and triglycerides. A full understanding of your blood test results can help you make good decisions about your diet and lifestyle. Here are 10 things your doctor may not tell you about your results from blood tests like these unless you know to ask.1."

"text": "It’s officially holiday party season, and no matter how much we all know we’re not supposed to talk about our diets at the table, the reality is that almost everyone does. This can sometimes be exciting (a chance to introduce Paleo to someone who could benefit from it), but it can also be very frustrating if you try to explain your diet to people who insist on confusing Paleo with something else: the “isn’t that like Atkins?” conversation. You don’t have to know a whole lot about Atkins to realize that it isn’t like Paleo. But it does help to at least have a rough idea of what you’re talking about – and reading about other diets can even give you a chance to learn something new. Obviously, not all diets are equally healthy, but most of them have something valuable to teach us (if only as an example of what not to do). In this article, you’ll find a road map to four diets commonly confused with Paleo: the Atkins Diet, the Slow-Carb Diet, the Blood Type Diet, and the Mediterranean Diet. Learn what they are, who came up with them, and how they stack up from a Paleo perspective. None of these approaches is optimal from a Paleo standpoint, but all of them have at least something interesting to consider. The Atkins Diet The Book: Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution (1972) and Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution (2002)The Short Story: a very low-carbohydrate diet will put you into ketosis, allowing for rapid and relatively painless weight loss."

It may be that hypersensitivity to certain foods leads to a flare-up in the joints. Dr. Per Brandtzaeg of Rikshospitalet, Oslo and colleagues found that people with rheumatoid arthritis often feel there is an association between food intake and disease severity. He said that “intake of certain food stuffs could intensify the inflammatory joint reaction to produce clinical symptoms.” They studied samples of blood and intestinal fluids from 14 rheumatoid arthritis patients and 20 healthy “controls”. The researchers found that systemic and intestinal immune responses were abnormal in many rheumatoid arthritis patients. The elevated level of food antibodies in gut secretions was “particularly striking,” they report in the medical journal Gut. Specifically, the team identified antibodies to components of milk, eggs, pork and fish. The conclusion, “there may be physical, immunological explanation for such complaints “rather than a mere psychological basis. ”Dr."

Even more important is that TSH is a pituitary hormone that doctors like to believe accurately reflects levels of the actual thyroid hormones, but in actuality TSH cannot be shown to correlate well with either of the biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 or Free T4, much less correlate well with symptoms, which should be the most important consideration. So please tell us about any symptoms you are having. Also, have you been tested for Free T3 and Free T4? If not, then you should request both every time you go in for tests."

"text": "Early Diagnosis of Masticatory Muscle Myositis Is Needed for Treatment Success Published January 2014Imagine what it would be like if your Golden Retriever could not open his mouth to eat and drink. That is often what happens with an autoimmune disorder called masticatory muscle myositis (MMM) that affects the jaw muscles, causing pain and dysfunction. Swollen, painful masticatory (chewing) muscles and an inability to open the mouth (trismus) are clinical signs of the disorder. “ These dogs are not able to pick up a ball or eat without experiencing severe pain,” says Brian E. Greenfield, D. V. M., who practices at Animal Clinic Northview in North Ridgeville, Ohio. “ In the early stages of the disease, the muscles that are used for eating and chewing appear swollen. As the disease progresses, these muscles begin to atrophy, or waste away. Sometimes the eyes appear sunken, or, less commonly, they seem to protrude. ”Although MMM can occur in any breed, it occurs more commonly in large breeds, such as Golden Retrievers, Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherd Dogs, and Labrador Retrievers. Young Cavalier King Charles Spaniels may be severely affected and are believed to be genetically predisposed to developing MMM. Although the disorder does not occur on a widespread basis in Golden Retrievers, anecdotal data suggest that the incidence may be increasing."

It has two common uses in the laboratory: blood typing and the quantification of virus dilutions in a haemagglutination assay. Contents [ hide ]1 Blood typing2 Viral hemagglutination assay3 References4 External links Blood typing [ edit]Blood type can be determined by using antibodies that bind to the A or B blood group antigens in a sample of blood. For example, if antibodies that bind the A blood group are added and agglutination occurs, the blood is either type A or type AB. To determine between type A or type AB, antibodies that bind the B group are added and if agglutination does not occur, the blood is type A. If agglutination does not occur with either antibodies that bind to type A or type B antigens, then neither antigen is present on the blood cells, which means the blood is type O. [1] [2]In blood grouping, the patient's serum is tested against RBCs of known blood groups and also the patient's RBCs are tested against known serum types. In this way the patient's blood group is confirmed from both RBCs and serum. A direct Coombs test is also done on the patient's blood sample in case there are any confounding antibodies. Viral hemagglutination assay [ edit]Main article: Hemagglutination assay Many viruses attach to molecules present on the surface of RBCs. A consequence of this is that at certain concentrations, a viral suspension may bind together (agglutinate) the RBCs, thus preventing them from settling out of suspension. Since agglutination is not linked to infectivity, attenuated viruses can therefore be used in assays while an additional assay such as a plaque assay must be used to determine infectivity."

Immunity from disease is actually conferred by two cooperative defense systems, called nonspecific, innate immunity and specific, acquired immunity. Nonspecific protective mechanisms repel all microorganisms equally, while the specific immune responses are tailored to particular types of invaders. Both systems work together to thwart organisms from entering and proliferating within the body.

Without this defense, the body is vulnerable to a whole host of infections. Although not used by non-medical people, pathology books broadly categorize immunity into specific and non-specific immunity. Non-specific Immunity Non-specific immunity, as the name suggests, is not specific to a certain group of micro-organisms. These defense mechanisms act against each and every invader of the body. It is very important to understand that this non-specific immune response is so formidable that only a minute amount of infections penetrates this first line of defense. Skin is the first barrier and the first mechanism of non-specific defense. Skin is a multilayered structure that contains lifeless dead cells on the outer surface and live cells in deeper layers. Many organisms find it impossible to penetrate this physical barrier. Skin cells are made by cell division at the deep basal layer."

Specific Resistance (Acquired Immunity)Physical and Chemical Barriers (Innate Immunity)Physical and chemical barriers form the first line of defense when the body is invaded. Physical Barriers The skin has thick layer of dead cells in the epidermis which provides a physical barrier. Periodic shedding of the epidermis removes microbes. The mucous membranes produce mucus that trap microbes. Hair within the nose filters air containing microbes, dust, pollutants Cilia lines the upper respiratory tract traps and propels inhaled debris to throat Urine flushes microbes out of the urethra Defecation and vomiting -expel microorganisms. Chemical Barriers Lysozyme, an enzyme produced in tears, perspiration, and saliva can break down cell walls and thus acts as an antibiotic (kills bacteria)Gastric juice in the stomach destroys bacteria and most toxins because the gastric juice is highly acidic (p H 2-3)Saliva dilutes the number of microorganisms and washes the teeth and mouth Acidity on skin inhibit bacterial growth Sebum (unsaturated fatty acids) provides a protective film on the skin and inhibits growth Hyaluronic acid is a gelatinous substance that slows the spread of noxious agents Nonspecific Resistance (Innate Immunity)The second line of defense is nonspecific resistance that destroys invaders in a generalized way without targeting specific individuals: Phagocytic cells ingest and destroy all microbes that pass into body tissues. For example macrophages are cells derived from monocytes (a type of white blood cell)."

Flag What is difference between Adaptive immune system and innate immune system? Answer by Amanjot kaur Confidence votes 25The innate system is a first line response after an infection happens. The adaptive system is when an immune cell (likely macrophages) show the pathogen to a lymph node and from there B cells make antibodies specifically for that pathogen. The innate system is non specific, but acquired is specific. The innate system involves B-cells, neutrophills, and macrophages, while the adaptive system involves T-cells , and MHC molecules.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No What is the difference between innate and adaptive immunity? Innate is non-specific. It includes the first and second lines of defense. The first line of defense contains the skin, mucus membranes, and normal micro-biota."

Blood Poster Hematopoiesis Red Bone Marrow Spongy Bone The cells of blood are called formed elements, the fiber is the clotting protein called fibrin, and the ground substance is a fluid called plasma. Blood is transported in vessels that create vascular circuits in order to distribute substances to the proper organs. Pressure gradients allow for blood flow and are initiated by the heart muscle contractions. Together, the blood, vessels, and heart form the cardiovascular system. The general functions of blood are transportation, regulation, and protection. Transportation of nutrients, waste products, gases, and hormones Regulation of ion balance, acid-base (p H) balance, and temperature Protection by blood clotting to prevent hemorrhage Protection by white blood cells for immune defense General Characteristics: Volume of blood in humans is ~ 5 litersof which 45% is composed of solutes (solids) and 55% solvent (liquid)p H of blood ranges from 7.35-7.45 (for venous and arterial blood, respectively)viscosity or thickness of blood is 3-5 times that of water Blood as a Connective Tissue RBCs and WBCs Blood Components A. Plasma Makes up 55% of the blood volume90% is water10% are composed of dissolved substances~7% are proteins such as hormones, globulins (alpha, beta gamma), and albuminalong with clotting factors such as prothrombin and fibrinogen The remaining 3% of plasma is conprised ofrespiratory gases such as O2 and CO2ions such as Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, HCO3-nitrogen wastes such as urea and uric acidnutrients such as glucose and amino acids Functions in transport and regulation Histology Serum in Tube Whole Blood in EDTA tube B. Formed Elements : Red Blood Cells All blood cells (formed elements) come from the hemopoietic tissue located in the spongy region that forms the red bone marrow and lymphatic tissue found in the lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus. Stem cells in the red bone marrow create most of the blood cells and the formation process is under hormonal control. Some of these blood cells will migrate to the lymphatic tissues and under immune signals, can create additional products or defense cells. The normal adult blood cells are red blood cells, white blood cells, and the formed elements: platelets."

Nonspecific defense mechanisms Specific defense mechanisms (a.k.a. the immune system)Specific Defense Mechanisms: The Immune Response First recorded by the Greek historian Thucydides, who noticed that a person getting a disease and recovering would never catch the same disease again. This immune response conferred protection against a specific disease. Discovery of Vaccination In 1796, Edward Jenner, an English doctor, made the first practical use of Thucydides's observation. In the 1700s smallpox was one of the deadliest diseases in the world—similar to heart disease and cancer today. It was commonly known that milkmaids who got cowpox never got smallpox. Cowpox was a mild disease that caused pox marks on the hands but not much else. Hypothesis: Jenner suspected that cowpox somehow conferred protection against smallpox. Experiment: Jenner took the eight-year–old son of his gardener, scratched his arm, and rubbed into it pus from the cowpox blisters on a milkmaid's hands."

The inspiratory reserve volume (IRV), about 3,100 m L, is the additional air that can be forcibly inhaled after the inspiration of a normal tidal volume. The expiratory reserve volume (ERV), about 1,200 m L, is the additional air that can be forcibly exhaled after the expiration of a normal tidal volume. Residual volume (RV), about 1,200 m L, is the volume of air still remaining in the lungs after the expiratory reserve volume is exhaled. Summing specific lung volumes produces the following lung capacities: The total lung capacity (TLC), about 6,000 m L, is the maximum amount of air that can fill the lungs (TLC = TV + IRV + ERV + RV). The vital capacity (VC), about 4,800 m L, is the total amount of air that can be expired after fully inhaling (VC = TV + IRV + ERV = approximately 80 percent TLC)."

Specific immune responses can distinguish among different invaders. The response is different for each invader. With nonspecific defenses, the protection is always the same, no matter what the invader may be. Whereas only vertebrates have specific immune responses, all animals have some type of nonspecific defense. Examples of nonspecific defenses include physical barriers, protein defenses, cellular defenses, inflammation, and fever. Barriers One way for an organism to defend itself against invasion is through barriers that separate the organism from its environment. Physical barriers such as the skin and mucous membranes mechanically regulate what enters the body. Secretions provide protection at the barrier as well. Mucus, for example, can trap potential invaders."

( September 2015)An anxiolytic (also antipanic or antianxiety agent) [1] is a medication or other intervention that inhibits anxiety. This effect is in contrast to anxiogenic agents, which increase anxiety. Together these categories of psychoactive compounds or interventions may be referred to as anxiotropic compounds or agents. Some recreational drugs such as alcohol (also known formally as ethanol) induce anxiolysis initially; however, studies show that many of these drugs are anxiogenic. Anxiolytic medications have been used for the treatment of anxiety disorder and its related psychological and physical symptoms. Anxiolytics have been shown to be useful in the treatment of anxiety disorder. Light therapy and other interventions have also been found to have an anxiolytic effect. ["

It was first synthesized by Union Chimique Belge in 1956 and was marketed by Pfizer in the United States later the same year [3] and is still widely used today. Because of its antihistamine effects, it can be used for the treatment of severe cases of itching, hyperalgesia, and motion sickness -induced nausea; it has also been used in some cases to relieve the effects of opioid withdrawal. [ 4] [5] Even though it is an effective sedative, hypnotic, and anxiolytic, it shares virtually none of the abuse, dependence, addiction, and toxicity potential of other drugs used for the same range of therapeutic reasons. Hydroxyzine has also been used to potentiate the analgesia of opioids and to alleviate some of their side effects, such as itching, nausea, and vomiting. Due to its antagonistic effects on several receptor systems in the brain, hydroxyzine also has anxiolytic, antiobsessive, and antipsychotic activity. [ 6] Today it is used primarily for the symptomatic relief of anxiety and tension associated with psychoneurosis and as an adjunct in organic disease states in which anxiety is manifested. Other drugs related to hydroxyzine are cyclizine, buclizine, and meclizine, and they share all or most of the benefits, indications, contraindications, cautions, and side effects of hydroxyzine. The second-generation antihistamine cetirizine is in fact one of the metabolites of hydroxyzine produced in the human body. Unlike hydroxyzine, cetirizine is not reported to appreciably cross the blood-brain barrier, but it has been reported to be associated with dystonic reactions as well as sedation."

"text": "\"What Is Vistaril (Hydroxyzine Pamoate)?92 Reviews Vistaril is the brand name for hydroxyzine pamoate, a prescription drug used to treat: Anxiety and tension Nausea and vomiting Severe itching (pruritus) from allergic conditions, such as chronic hives (urticaria) and contact dermatitis It's also used as a sedative for general anesthesia. Vistaril is a central nervous system depressant and antihistamine, which works by reducing the activity of the natural chemical histamine. In the body, histamines are involved in local immune and inflammatory responses, producing symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, and itchy hives. Histamines also play a vital role as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Doctors may also prescribe Vistaril off-label to treat insomnia and the symptoms of opioid withdrawal. Manufactured by Pfizer, Vistaril was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1968. Roerig, a division of Pfizer, also manufactured a similar drug called Atarax (hydroxyzine hydrochloride), which was FDA-approved in 1956 and discontinued in the United States in 2009. In 2014, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) — the European Union's FDA — announced that it would begin reviewing the benefits and risks of hydroxyzine-containing medications, including Vistaril, due to concerns about the drugs' potential negative effects to the heart, including causing arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat). The results of the EMA review could alter the approval of Vistaril throughout Europe. Vistaril Warnings You should not use Vistaril if you are allergic or sensitive to hydroxyzine."

As of 2014, close to 10% of the population of most Western countries are on antidepressants, more than 50% of whom are likely to be hooked on them. This guide focuses on SRIs. SRI stands for serotonin reuptake inhibitor. SSRIs are selective SRIs but selective does not mean these drugs are pharmacologically “clean.” It means that they have no effects on the norepinephrine /noradrenaline system."

If so, you’re not alone. Chronic fatigue accounts for more than 10 million visits to family doctors every year. Chronic fatigue has many causes, including illnesses such as anemia and multiple sclerosis as well as depression and other psychiatric disorders. But it’s also often a side effect of drugs previously prescribed for other conditions. ( I’m not talking here of the complicated disorder known as chronic fatigue syndrome, whose cause is unknown. This condition is characterized by extreme fatigue that can’t be explained by any underlying medical condition. ) Could one or more of the medications you’re taking be making you feel listless or lethargic?

It was first synthesized by Union Chimique Belge in 1956 and was marketed by Pfizer in the United States later the same year [3] and is still widely used today. Because of its antihistamine effects, it can be used for the treatment of severe cases of itching, hyperalgesia, and motion sickness -induced nausea; it has also been used in some cases to relieve the effects of opioid withdrawal. [ 4] [5] Even though it is an effective sedative, hypnotic, and anxiolytic, it shares virtually none of the abuse, dependence, addiction, and toxicity potential of other drugs used for the same range of therapeutic reasons. Hydroxyzine has also been used to potentiate the analgesia of opioids and to alleviate some of their side effects, such as itching, nausea, and vomiting. Due to its antagonistic effects on several receptor systems in the brain, hydroxyzine also has anxiolytic, antiobsessive, and antipsychotic activity. [ 6] Today it is used primarily for the symptomatic relief of anxiety and tension associated with psychoneurosis and as an adjunct in organic disease states in which anxiety is manifested. Other drugs related to hydroxyzine are cyclizine, buclizine, and meclizine, and they share all or most of the benefits, indications, contraindications, cautions, and side effects of hydroxyzine. The second-generation antihistamine cetirizine is in fact one of the metabolites of hydroxyzine produced in the human body. Unlike hydroxyzine, cetirizine is not reported to appreciably cross the blood-brain barrier, but it has been reported to be associated with dystonic reactions as well as sedation."

Diphenhydramine, the most common active ingredient, is an H 1 antagonist, which means it helps to prevent the uptake of histamine (a type of substance responsible for allergic reactions) by receptors in the body. This relieves inflammation, watery eyes and many other allergy symptoms. It can also help with anxiety and motion sickness through other mechanisms, and reduce coughing – although it’s rarely used for this purpose. Owners should be aware that drowsiness is a common side effect of diphenhydramine, which is why it is also the active ingredient in many popular sleeping aids such as Nytol. You should also keep in mind that “Benadryl” is the brand name and not the name of the drug which produces the effects. Make sure the formulation you’re using only contains active ingredients which are safe for dogs such as diphenhydramine or cetirizine. You can find which active ingredienst are contained within a product by checking the front and back of the box. Natural Remedies: Many people stand by the ability of natural remedies to soothe their dog’s symptoms. Though Benadryl can be safe when used correctly and on suitable dogs, it does have some risks, complications and adverse effects which can be avoided by using the following natural alternatives: Anxietrex – A completely safe remedy for anxiety in dogs."

"text": "An antihistamine is a type of medication commonly known to help to control allergy and cold symptoms, but it is also sometimes used for the treatment of anxiety. The best types of medications are obtained by a doctor’s prescription, and your medical professional can work with you to reduce your symptoms with other methods. Over-the-counter antihistamines are the most accessible of the drugs, but many of them can cause drowsiness. Like other types of medications, the most effective forms of antihistamines tend to be in capsule form. It is important to keep in mind an antihistamine for anxiety will not cure your condition, but it can be used as a part of your overall treatment plan to help to control symptoms. Prescription antihistamines are generally the best forms of this kind of medication because you can ensure that your treatment is being looked after by a physician. Also, many of these drugs do not have as high of a risk of excessive drowsiness, which is not preferred by patients who need to use the medication during the day. An antihistamine for anxiety works by blocking the release of histamine in the brain, which can also have a slight sedating effect. Ad Over-the-counter medications are preferred by patients who do not have the money or time to visit a physician to obtain a prescription. It is important to check with a professional before attempting to self-treat any anxiety symptoms."

People take antihistamines to help with their allergies, but the medicine is also known for causing drowsiness. While medicines like Benadryl can help people fall asleep, a Baylor College of Medicine sleep expert says it shouldn't be used as a sleep aid. “Many allergy sufferers know that antihistamines work for their symptoms but also make them sleepy. People sometimes turn to these medications to help them sleep, even when they’re not sick. But the use of medication to force children or adults to sleep is generally not the best idea,” Dr. Philip Alapat, assistant professor of medicine, said in a statement. He added that antihistamines could lead to sleep walking and other parasomnias, similar to what occurs with other hypnotic sleep-aids like Ambien. The sleep quality people experience when taking Benadryl is not good, and sometimes it can have the opposite affect and cause hyperactivity. “Using Benadryl or any antihistamine for sleep has no long term benefit,” Alapat said. “ Most people develop a tolerance very quickly."

"text": "\"DRUG RECORDANTIHISTAMINESOverview References OVERVIEWAntihistamines Histamine is an important mediator of immediate hypersensitivity reactions acting locally and causing smooth muscle contraction, vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, edema and inflammation. Histamine acts through specific cellular receptors which have been categorized into four types, H1 through H4. Antihistamines represent a class of medications that block the histamine type 1 (H1) receptors. Importantly, antihistamines do not block or decrease the release of histamine, but rather ameliorate its local actions. Agents that specially block other H2 receptors are generally referred to as H2 blockers rather than antihistamines. H1 receptors are widely distributed and are particularly common on smooth muscle of the bronchi, gastrointestinal tract, uterus and large blood vessels. H1 receptors are also found in the central nervous system. The antihistamines are widely used to treat symptoms of allergic conditions including itching, nasal stuffiness, runny nose, teary eyes, urticaria, dizziness, nausea and cough. Their most common use alone or in combination with other agents is for symptoms of upper respiratory illnesses such as the common cold. The central nervous system effects of antihistamines include sedation and decrease in anxiety, tension and adventitious movements."

Whitley Clinical Infectious Diseases, Volume 47, Issue 3, 1 August 2008, Pages 303–327, https://doi.org/10.1086/589747Published: 01 August 2008 Article history Views PDF Cite Permissions Share Abstract Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with encephalitis were prepared by an Expert Panel of the Infectious Diseases Society of America. The guidelines are intended for use by health care providers who care for patients with encephalitis. The guideline includes data on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of many viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoal, and helminthic etiologies of encephalitis and provides information on when specific etiologic agents should be considered in individual patients with encephalitis. Topic:encephalitis diagnosis causality infectious diseases society of america Issue Section: IDSA Guideline Executive Summary Encephalitis is defined by the presence of an inflammatory process of the brain in association with clinical evidence of neurologic dysfunction. Of the pathogens reported to cause encephalitis, the majority are viruses. However, despite extensive testing, the etiology of encephalitis remains unknown in most patients. Another major challenge for patients with encephalitis is to determine the relevance of an infectious agent identified outside of the CNS; these agents may play a role in the neurologic manifestations of illness but not necessarily by directly invading the CNS. In addition, it is important to distinguish between infectious encephalitis and postinfectious or postimmunization encephalitis or encephalomyelitis (e.g., acute disseminated encephalomyelitis [ADEM]), which may be mediated by an immunologic response to an antecedent antigenic stimulus from an infecting microorganism or immunization. Noninfectious CNS diseases (e.g., vasculitis, collagen vascular disorders, and paraneoplastic syndromes) can have clinical presentations similar to those of infectious causes of encephalitis and should also be considered in the differential diagnosis. In the approach to the patient with encephalitis, an attempt should be made to establish an etiologic diagnosis."

Print Background Aseptic meningitis is an illness characterized by serous inflammation of the linings of the brain (i.e., meninges), usually with an accompanying mononuclear pleocytosis. Clinical manifestations vary, with headache and fever predominating. The illness is usually mild and runs its course without treatment; however, some cases can be severe and life threatening. Aseptic meningitis syndrome is not caused by pyogenic bacteria. Although it is usually caused by certain viruses, it has a number of other etiologies as well, both infectious and noninfectious. Hence, the term aseptic meningitis is no longer synonymous with viral meningitis, although the two are still often used interchangeably. The epidemiologic setting (e.g., time of year, geographic locale, exposure to insects, diseases prevalent in the local community) and accompanying systemic manifestations may be helpful in making a presumptive diagnosis. However, with a few exceptions, the clinical and laboratory findings accompanying acute viral meningitis are insufficiently distinct to allow an etiologic diagnosis, and distinguishing these disorders from a number of nonviral diseases may be difficult. Treatment varies with the cause. No specific pharmacologic treatment is available for most cases of viral meningitis; these patients are managed with supportive therapy, which includes analgesics, antinausea medications, intravenous fluids, and prevention and treatment of complications."

Article Figures/Media50 References 183 Citing Articles Acute pharyngitis is one of the most common illnesses for which patients visit primary care physicians. According to the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, upper respiratory tract infections, including acute pharyngitis, are responsible for 200 visits to a physician per 1000 population annually in the United States 1 — a rate more than double that for any other category of infectious disease. The sore throat, fever, and malaise associated with acute pharyngitis are distressing, but with few exceptions, these illnesses are both benign and self-limited. Table 1. Microbial Causes of Acute Pharyngitis. Many bacterial and viral organisms are capable of inducing pharyngitis, either as a single manifestation or as part of a more generalized illness. A partial list of microorganisms that cause pharyngitis is presented in Table 1. 2 Strategies for diagnosis and treatment are directed at identifying those patients who require specific antimicrobial agents and attempting to minimize the unnecessary use of these agents.

Mintz INFECTIOUS AGENTSalmonella enterica serotypes Typhi and Paratyphi A, Paratyphi B (tartrate negative), and Paratyphi C cause a potentially severe and occasionally life-threatening bacteremic illness referred to respectively as typhoid and paratyphoid fever, and collectively as enteric fever. TRANSMISSIONHumans are the only source of these bacteria; no animal or environmental reservoirs have been identified. Typhoid and paratyphoid fever are most often acquired through consumption of water or food that has been contaminated by feces of an acutely infected or convalescent person or a chronic, asymptomatic carrier. Transmission through sexual contact, especially among men who have sex with men, has been documented rarely. EPIDEMIOLOGYAn estimated 26 million cases of typhoid fever and 5 million cases of paratyphoid fever occur worldwide each year, causing 215,000 deaths. In the United States, approximately 300 culture-confirmed cases of typhoid fever and 80 cases of paratyphoid fever caused by S. enterica serotype Paratyphi A are reported each year. Cases of paratyphoid fever caused by serotypes Paratyphi B (tartrate negative) and Paratyphi C are rarely reported. Approximately 85% of typhoid fever and 90% of paratyphoid fever cases in the United States are among international travelers; of those, 75% of typhoid and 90% of paratyphoid fever cases are caused by serotype Paratyphi A acquired by travelers to southern Asia (such as India, Pakistan, or Bangladesh). Other high-risk regions for typhoid and paratyphoid fever include Africa and Southeast Asia; lower-risk regions include East Asia, South America, and the Caribbean. Travelers who are visiting friends and relatives are at increased risk (see Chapter 8, Immigrants Returning Home to Visit Friends and Relatives [VFRs] )."

WARNINGClostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, including CLEOCIN HCl and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis . Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon , leading to overgrowth of C. difficle. Because CLEOCIN HCl therapy has been associated with severe colitis which may end fatally, it should be reserved for serious infections where less toxic antimicrobial agents are inappropriate, as described in the INDICATIONS AND USAGE section. It should not be used in patients with nonbacterial infections such as most upper respiratory tract infections. C. difficile produces toxins A and B, which contribute to the development of CDAD. Hypertoxin producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy. CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use. Careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after the administration of antibacterial agents. If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued."

"text": "\"OVERVIEW: What every practitioner needs to know Are you sure your patient has cervical lymphadenitis? What are the typical findings for this disease? Approximately 38%-45% of otherwise normal children have palpable cervical lymph nodes. Cervical lymphadenopathy is usually defined as cervical lymph node tissue measuring more than 10 mm in diameter. The most common causes of lymphadenopathy are reactive hyperplasia in response to an infectious stimulus in the head or neck and infection of the node itself. Lymphadenitis specifically refers to lymphadenopathies that are caused by inflammatory processes. Cervical lymphadenitis is usually caused by a viral upper respiratory infection. The key symptom of lymphadenitis is the presence of a painful mass in the cervical area, often accompanied by fever, runny nose, sore throat, and cough. Key signs include an enlarged tender node or nodes in the cervical area, often accompanied by fever, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, erythematous pharynx and/or tonsils, facial swelling, and torticollis. The prognosis depends on the underlying cause."

"text": "Facebook Twitter Pinterest If you’ve spent any time attempting to get rid of candida, you’ve probably been just as disappointed as I was when I realized how difficult it is, and that many of the ‘quick fixes’ we were told would help, didn’t. Unfortunately treating candida isn’t easy and, more often than not, it becomes a recurring issue. We try those ‘quick fixes’ first, and when our candida symptoms come back, we’re just told to do the same things over again: don’t eat sugar and starch, and take anti-fungals. While these suggestions are very important, they alone aren’t the answer. Dr. Pizzorno, ND sums it up effectively,“Chronic candidiasis is a classic example of a ‘multifactoral’ condition. Effective treatment involves much more than killing the yeast with anti-fungal agents, whether synthetic or natural. ”In the Kicking Candida program, a head-to-toe comprehensive approach is taken. And when it comes to anti-fungals, natural options are preferred – as it’s been widely documented you can develop a resistance to synthetic anti-fungals. Below you’ll find five (of over 20) natural anti-fungals I recommend in Kicking Candida:cinnamon ( Cinnamomum verum ) – numerous studies show that ‘true’ cinnamon ( Ceylon cinnamon) inhibits candida and common skin fungi.

In the pre-antibiotic era, infectious diseases accounted for significant morbidity and mortality and invasive medical procedures were fraught with the risk of infection. All this changed with the use of antimicrobial agents. But the miracle seems to be short lived. Irresponsible and erratic use of these life-saving instruments has resulted in the development of drug resistance in many organisms and deaths due to hospital-acquired infections is on the rise. It appears that our complacency is leading us into bigger problems in the millennium that has just dawned. The first antimicrobials were discovered in the mid-20's and many new molecules were discovered between 1960 and 1980. This 'golden era of antibiotics' saw a dramatic fall in the mortality from infections. Since the 80's, not many new class of molecules have been discovered and the funding into antimicrobial research is on the decline and now deaths due to resistant infections is slowly increasing; in the U. S., mortality due to nosocomial infections is now 4 times that due to road traffic accidents. Antibiotics are Life Savingdrugs..

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Clinical Evaluation Bacterial Conjunctivitis Viral Conjunctivitis Allergic Conjunctivitis Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis Prehospital and ED Management Antimicrobial Therapy Supportive Pharmacotherapy Follow-up Special Considerations Show All References Overview The conjunctiva is a loose connective tissue that covers the surface of the eyeball (bulbar conjunctiva) and reflects back upon itself to form the inner layer of the eyelid (palpebral conjunctiva). This tissue firmly adheres to the sclera at the limbus, where it meets the cornea. The accessory lacrimal glands (Krause and Wolfring), along with goblet cells, are contained within the conjunctiva and are responsible for keeping the eye lubricated. Conjunctivitis is one of the most common nontraumatic eye complaints resulting in presentation to the emergency department (ED): 3% of all ED visits are ocular related, and conjunctivitis is responsible for approximately 30% of all eye complaints. This term describes any inflammatory process that involves the conjunctiva; however, to most patients, conjunctivitis (often called pink eye) is a diagnosis in its own right. As with any mucous membrane, infectious agents may adhere to the conjunctiva, thus overwhelming normal defense mechanisms and producing clinical symptoms of redness, discharge, irritation, and possibly photophobia. Cellular infiltration and exudation characterize conjunctivitis on a cellular level. Classification is usually based on cause, including viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, toxic, chlamydial, chemical, and allergic agents. Viral etiologies are more common than bacterial, and incidence of viral conjunctivitis increases in the late fall and early spring. Classification can also be based on age of occurrence or course of disease."

"text": "\"DIYGet Medieval: How to Build a Metal Forge Make a propane-powered forge in your garage and get your hammer and anvil ready By Vin Marshall December 3, 2009Propane Forge The forge, assembled. Vin Marshall Forging steel is significant for several reasons. It's one of the oldest metal-forming operations in existence. Blacksmiths throughout history have (and continue to) forge steel to create things ranging from practical to beautiful and everywhere in between. Industrial processes often involve forging not only for the efficiency with which it forms metal, but also for the way in which it strengthens the part by aligning the grains in the steel along the lines of its shape. Did you know that you could be doing this same time-tested technique at home? Here is how I built my own propane forge. At my old shop, I had a talented blacksmith as a neighbor (check out his work: www.andyuprightmetalworks.com) who got me interested enough to take a stab at forging on my own. I did some interwebs research and came upon a few Web sites on which people documented their own forge builds. Almost all of them used a burner design called the \"\"Reil Burner,\"\" which has the distinct DIY advantage of being constructed almost entirely from plumbing parts."

"text": "\"Published in ABANA'S \"\"Hammer's Blow\"\" magazine Summer 2001 Vol. 9, #3 under title of \"\"Bow Tongs for Small Stock\"\" and with line drawings by Editor Brian Gilbert instead of these photo's. HOW TO MAKELIGHTWEIGHT, OLD STYLE, HOLLOW BIT TONGS FOR HOLDING 3/8\"\" SQUARE OR ROUND: These tongs are similar to a pair of versatile tongs made by Toby Hickman as he was video taped when at Joe Pehoski's Shop in 1991. That video is available for rent from ABANA. These instructions differ from that video primarily in that these are designed to be made using a hand hammer. They can also be made using a power hammer as did Toby Hickman. To make these tongs several blacksmith processes are used: i.e. conceptualizing the final product, marking the stock, isolating the different parts, drawing out the shank and reins, upsetting the bit, slitting the bit, bending the shank, punching the rivet hole, riveting, and putting on a finish, if desired. A good tong steel, particularly for beginning tong makers, is the common mild steel called A36 that typically has a maximum of .29% carbon. More experienced tong makers sometimes like to use a medium carbon steel such as 1045, 4140, 8640 for a stronger tong. An advantage of mild steel is that if at a red heat and then cooled in the quench tank, they are not as susceptible to cracking as they might if made of a higher carbon steel."

It begins with a placid, sunny afternoon and ends in a dramatic finish with flashes of lightning, crashes of thunder, heavy rain, and perhaps a rattle of hail. Here in Denver, we have up to 40 such storms a year, chiefly in July and August, that begin on the mountain slopes to the west, and sail out onto the plains on the prevailing west wind, to end after midnight far to the east. The development can be observed quite conveniently in Denver over a couple of hours, perhaps from 2 to 4 in the afternoon, as the brilliantly sunlit clouds boil overhead. The Navajo pictogram for a thunderstorm is shown at the right. The cumulus, anvil, rain and lightning are all represented. This article discusses some of the questions I have about these storms and their effects, and the lore I have accumulated. There are many experts in this field, of various degrees of reliability, and I refer the reader to their presentations, some of which are listed in the References. As with any natural phenomenon, thunderstorms are infinitely variable, so any description here is only of a typical storm, and does not include all the variations. It hardly needs to be said that not everything is known about thunderstorms and lightning, but the tendency of modern scientists to make up explanations of absolutely everything, and to hold to their prejudices tenaciously, is well illustrated in this field."

Its produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, usually producing gusty winds, heavy rain and sometimes hail. What causes a thunderstorm? The basic ingredients used to make a thunderstorm are moisture, unstable air and lift. You need moisture to form clouds and rain. You need unstable air that is relatively warm and can rise rapidly. Finally, you need lift. This can form from fronts, sea breezes or mountains. What is a severe thunderstorm?"

"text": "\"The Tools and Trade Techniques of the Blacksmith From Henry J. Kauffman, Metalworking Trades in Early America, 1995. from the Collections at Historic Bethlehem [PA]The tools of the blacksmith varied from time to time and from place to place. They were generally divided into three groups. The first is the hearth with its bellows, water trough, shovels, tongs, rake, poker, and a water container for damping down the fire and cooling objects. The second group consists of the anvil, sledges, tongs, swages, cutters, chisels, and hammers. The third group was made up of the shoeing box, which contains knives, rasps, and files for preparing the horse's hooves for shoes, an iron stand for supporting the horse's foot while working on it, and a special hammer and nails to fasten the shoe to the hoof. The blacksmith worked with charcoal iron, so named because charcoal was used for fuel in the furnace that produced the iron. It seems not only to have been suited to the various ways it had to be \"\"worked;\"\" but also because of its other desirable qualities, much of it has outlived iron of a later period that lacked these qualities. Blacksmiths of the 18th and 19th centuries had different qualities of iron available to them. Even if a high grade of iron were used, the metal frequently needed additional attention by the smith before he used it."

"text": "Bureau Home > Storm Spotters > Storm Spotters' Handbook > Thunderstorms Storm Spotters' Handbook Thunderstorms Description Photo 2. Thunderstorm at Larapinta, Northern Territory. Photograph courtesy of Steve Strike. A thunderstorm is associated with a very tall cloud mass, a cumulonimbus cloud, that has a flat, dark base from which heavy rain and hail can fall (Photo 2). When not obscured by haze or other clouds, the top of a cumulonimbus is bright and tall, reaching up to an altitude of 10-16 km (lower in higher latitudes and higher in the tropics). The top may appear to be 'boiling' with cauliflower-shaped lumps but more often has a fibrous, frozen appearance. Although a thunderstorm is a three-dimensional structure, it should be thought of as a constantly evolving process rather than an object. Each thunderstorm, or cluster of thunderstorms, is a self-contained system with organised regions of updraughts (upward moving air) and downdraughts (downward moving air). Their movement within the cloud and interaction with prevailing winds at various heights in the atmosphere form changing cloud features that you can see and interpret. The whole process is an example of convection, which acts to distribute energy more evenly in the atmosphere."

Appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences November 26, the results solve a long-standing debate and reveal how pollution plays into climate warming. The work can also provide a gauge for the accuracy of weather and climate models. Researchers had thought that pollution causes larger and longer-lasting storm clouds by making thunderheads draftier through a process known as convection. But atmospheric scientist Jiwen Fan and her colleagues show that pollution instead makes clouds linger by decreasing the size and increasing the lifespan of cloud and ice particles. The difference affects how scientists represent clouds in climate models. \"\" This study reconciles what we see in real life to what computer models show us,\"\" said Fan of the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. \"\" Observations consistently show taller and bigger anvil-shaped clouds in storm systems with pollution, but the models don't always show stronger convection. Now we know why. \"\" Also, pollution can decrease the daily temperature range via such clouds: High clouds left after a thunderstorm spread out across the sky and look like anvils."

Healy Overlook Trail Neighborhoods Denali National Park Hotel types Three Star hotels (5 hotels)Best Jackson hotels Jackson Introduction Jackson is known as “The City with Soul” for its strong music connections—it’s been name-checked by everyone from Nancy Sinatra to Mark Ronson. This storied state capital is a major cultural hub, a landmark on the Mississippi Blues Trail, and the home of the legendary Malaco Records music label, whose roster of artists reads like a who’s who of Southern R&B. Mississippi’s prestigious symphony orchestra perform at the Thalia Mara Hall, famous downtown joints showcase everything from traditional jazz to bluegrass, and the Jackson Rhythm & Blues Festival transforms the Convention Complex with 5 stages of live action every August. Hotels in Jackson Jackson hotels have hosted their fair share of traveling musicians over the years, and they know how to chase away the blues with a few friendly words of welcome. Hospitality is second nature to this cosmopolitan city and hotels in Jackson cater for all visitors, from busy convention delegates to guitar-toting college students. Enjoy the familiarity of a well-appointed chain establishment, spoil yourself in a 4-star suite downtown, or hit the hay in a budget B&B and save your dollars for the music bars. If you’re arriving by car, check into a highway motel and benefit from free parking at the property. Where to stay Downtown Jackson has undergone a major facelift in recent years, with smart new buildings that perfectly complement the historic quarter. If you stay here, you’ll be close to all the sights as well as the latest additions to Jackson’s built heritage. Downtown is also convenient for events at the Convention Complex and Mississippi Coliseum arena."

Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Description3 Reading Terminal4 Events5 Expansion6 See also7 References8 External links History [ edit]In the latter part of the 20th century, the Philadelphia Civic Center became outmoded. With the opening of the Spectrum in South Philadelphia, fewer big sporting and entertainment events used the Civic Center. Political conventions, too, outgrew the capacity of the Civic Center to host them. By the 1980s, regional and state leaders had begun to plan for a new convention center in the heart of Center City. The Pennsylvania Convention Center opened in 1993 and when it did, most of the events held in the Civic Center, including trade shows and the annual Philadelphia Flower Show, moved to the new facility. As a result of the construction of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the Chinatown buildings located on Arch Street, up to the intersection of 13th Street, were demolished. [ 1]Grand Hall, 1993Description [ edit]The Pennsylvania Convention Center comprises four main halls or rooms, smaller meeting rooms and auditoriums, and the Grand Hall, which occupies much of the trainshed of the former Reading Railroad terminal. ( The rest of the train shed is occupied by meeting rooms and a hallway on the main floor, and the Grand Ballroom on the upper floor.)"

It is among the largest exhibition centers in the Northeastern United States, with approximately 516,000 square feet (about 4.8 hectares) of contiguous exhibition space. [ 1] The main exhibition floor comprises three bays which can be isolated for separate shows or linked into one large space. The center is located on Summer Street near the South Boston waterfront, Boston's World Trade Center, and across the harbor from Logan International Airport. It is about one block south of the World Trade Center station on the MBTA Silver Line, with direct connections to South Station and Logan Airport. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Gallery3 References4 External links History [ edit]For a short time in 1997, the owner of the National Football League 's New England Patriots — Robert Kraft —and Massport tried unsuccessfully to turn the same parcel of land that the convention center is on into a new home stadium for the football team that would have been closer to Boston, but both were unable to get the surrounding neighborhoods to agree with the deal because of concerns about traffic. The push for a new convention center in Boston came in the late 1990s when the semi-annual Macworld trade show, previously held in Boston each summer, moved to the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.

"text": "Fender USA '62 Stratocaster Reissue (Early '90s)Bob Leggitt | Friday, 1 June 2012 |One of the questions I’ve been asked by guitarists newer to the the world of Fender instruments, is: “What makes a Vintage Reissue a Vintage Reissue?”, or “How do I know a Vintage Reissue when I see one?”. In this article I’m going to look at one of the most widely-respected Vintage Reissue guitars there is: a Fender USA ’62 Stratocaster Reissue – this particular example bearing an inspection tag dated 2nd March 1990. I’ll give some details as to what makes it a vintage reissue, and then generally assess it as an individual guitar… Guitars as a breed are highly unusual in that they have a habit of subverting technological progress. In other words, whereas your general household products improve as technology advances (i.e. you’d much prefer watching a 2012 television to a 1962 television), technological and industrial progress often has a negative effect on guitar production. A guitar is primarily a mechanical device, and a lot of people would describe it in quite spiritual terms. It’s man-made, but it also draws very heavily on nature for its character and soul. If you mess too much with nature, you start to lose that character and soul. Older guitar production processes were more natural; newer processes are more technological. So before you even start to take design changes into account, you get a sense as to why a guitar produced using early 1960s standards might have more character and soul than an updated version."

"text": "\"Submitted by Jason on Wed, 06/01/2016 - 07:02. Nearly 5 years after we first published our list of the top 5 electric guitar brands we have completely revised and updated our selection to include the top 10 brands. This page is sponsored by Sweetwater so you can click through to get the full specifications, the latest price, and purchase any of the Electric Guitars stocked by Sweetwater that we have recommended. When we rated these to see which were the best of the best, we took into consideration their quality, popularity with professional guitarists, and the impact they've had on rock music. After we originally published our selection of the top guitar brands, it became clear from the feedback we received that many of you wanted us to recommend individual models as well as the top brands, so here is our new selection along with one of the most popular models, and an entry level model, for each of the top 10 brands. Things To Consider When Buying An Electric Guitar Budget The best course of action is to set a budget that is reasonable - right at the get go - while also considering the cost for other important gear like accessories, cables, amplifiers and effects, should you need them. A good rule of thumb to follow is that entry-level to mid-tier instruments are great for beginners, while more experienced players will want mid-tier to premium guitars. Musical Preference and Guitar Heroes The style of music you prefer will greatly dictate the type of guitar you want, so it is safest to stick to the guns (or axes) of your heroes. This way you can get a good and inspiring instrument even when you don't have thorough knowledge of guitar types. For experienced players, you owe it to yourself to understand the pros and cons of different guitar types better, before making big investments."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A variety of guitars. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to guitars: A guitar is a plucked string instrument, usually played with fingers or a pick. The guitar consists of a body with a rigid neck to which the strings, generally six in number, are attached. Most guitar necks have metal frets attached (the exception is fretless bass guitars). Guitars are traditionally constructed of various woods and strung with animal gut or, more recently, with either nylon or steel strings. Some modern 2010-era guitars are made of polycarbonate materials. Guitars are made and repaired by luthiers. There are two primary families of guitars: acoustic and electric. An acoustic guitar has a wooden top and a hollow body. An electric guitar may be a solid-body or hollow body instrument, which is made louder by using a pickup and plugging it into a guitar amplifier and speaker."

While he was never one to shred with the same flash as some of his '80s contemporaries, his influence over droves of players and sub-genres should earn him a more revered spot in the guitar gods pantheon. The Cure's Robert Smith The Cure still fill stadiums with a surprisingly diverse community of adoring fans. Bands like Dinosaur Jr and the Smashing Pumpkins have recorded loving covers of Cure songs. If the recent cavalcade of boutique chorus and modulation pedals is any indication, Smith's influence as a tonal architect is alive and well. So why is the ink devoted to his guitar craft comparatively limited? For one, Smith's status as a pop culture emblem of angst might distract audiences from his underlying musical achievements. For the general population, Robert Smith's hair and makeup choices are a more relevant touchpoint than his guitar tone. Perhaps The Cure's renown as a poppy synth band gets in the way of guitar worship."

Need More Help? About Our Private Reserve Collection Glossary of Les Paul Terms The Les Paul Legacy—A Brief History The guitar that bears Les Paul’s name is among the most iconic instruments that have helped shape the sound of popular music. Since its introduction in 1952, the LP’s rich, thick, midrange-focused tone, coupled with a prodigious ability to sustain notes has had a huge impact on the sound of rock, blues, metal, and those genres' modern offshoots. Though there’s some controversy about exactly who contributed what elements, it’s clear that the LP was the result of a fateful collaboration between Gibson president Ted Mc Carty and Les Paul, the brilliant country and jazz guitarist and compulsive inventor and tinkerer. The trajectory of Gibson’s product line and Paul’s search for an electric guitar with more sustain and less feedback made that collaboration more or less inevitable. First Came The Clunker Les Paul had struggled for years with the feedback generated by electric hollowbody guitars when their volume was cranked up."

The soundboard will add various tonal qualities due to its own mix of tonewoods and bracing, and the soundboard also has a strong effect on the loudness of the guitar. Without a soundboard, the string would just cut through the air without actually moving it much because it is large, the soundboard can push the air, creating a much louder sound. In addition, the acoustic guitar has a hollow body that resonates, increasing the efficiency of its lower frequencies. All of the complex air-coupling interactions, along with the resonant properties of the tonewoods themselves, are a key reason that different acoustic guitars will have different tonal qualities. The sound is a complex mixture of harmonics that give this type of guitar its distinctive sound. Some of the most important varieties are the classical guitar (nylon-stringed) and steel-string acoustic guitar. Steel-string Acoustic Guitar The steel-string acoustic guitar is a modern form of guitar that descends from the classical guitar, but is strung with steel strings for a brighter, louder sound. The most common shape is the dreadnought (originally developed by C. F. Martin & Company), which incorporates a deep soundbox and a smaller and less pronounced upper bout, giving it a wedge-shaped appearance. Other popular body styles include the larger jumbo body shape, as well as the smaller auditorium (000) body style and even smaller grand concert (00) body style."

"text": "Gear Vault » Front Page Gear » Guitars » History of Cort Guitars History of Cort Guitars August 22, 2010 by Charlie The history of Cort guitars bears a striking resemblance to many other Japanese and Korean manufacturers. Cort is a South Korean manufacturer of electric, bass and acoustic guitars and has been around since 1973 when it was founded by Yung H. Park along with Jack Westheimer. The company never offered any special signature guitars of its own instead choosing to offer guitars which were more or less copies in both appearance and quality to popular brands such as Fender and Gibson. Much like the Japanese brand Ibanez, this got it into plenty of lawsuits and legal issues however the company has retained its position as one of the most prominent guitar manufactures of the world. Cort has been making different electric and acoustic for different playing styles and budgets. Its popular acoustic guitar includes the Earth, the Limited Edition, the Classical series, SFX, series, CJ series, NTL Series. Their lines of electric guitars include the EVL, G series, M series, X series and VX series. Cort has also been noted to produce Bass guitars which have been very well received by bassists all over the world. Popular Bass guitars that Cort has come out with include the Masterpiece series, Signature series, Artisan series, Curbow series, Action series, EVL series and T series. Of all these, the Artisan is the one which has been most well received by Bass guitarists for its fine Zebra wood top and neck."

Contents [ hide ]1 Instrument development2 Variations and uses in different parts of the world2.1 Spain2.2 Philippines2.3 South America2.4 United Kingdom3 Notable players and music4 See also5 References Instrument development [ edit]Prior to the 18th century, the bandurria had a round back, similar or related to the mandore. [ 1] It had become a flat-backed instrument by the 18th century, with five double courses of strings, tuned in fourths. [ 1] The original bandurrias of the Medieval period had three strings. During the Renaissance they gained a fourth string. During the Baroque period the bandurria had 10 strings (5 pairs). The modern bandurria has 12 strings (6 pairs). The strings are tuned in unison pairs, going up in fourths from the low G#. The lowest four strings are a major-third above those of a standard guitar and the highest two strings are a fourth above a standard guitar, i.e. G ♯, c ♯, f ♯, b, e and a.

Then from the positive (Or live) side of the jack run a wire to the Middle terminal of the Volume pot. If you have a meter, to find ground terminal, put the meter on the continuity setting place one of the meters probes just inside the jack and with the other probe touch both terminals the one that gives a reading is the ground terminal.

Tweet A comprehensive buyer’s guide to all Fender and Squier Stratocaster series electric guitars to help you choose the right model for you. The Fender Stratocaster is among the most iconic electric guitars to have ever been produced, and it’s been a major influence on the sounds of modern music. Since it’s introduction in 1954, the Strat has been featured on countless recordings, and played by rock, punk, jazz, blues, soul, R&B, and country artists the world over. During its six-decade history, the Stratocaster has consistently been one of the most popular (and copied) guitars in production.

Basic Stratocaster Features Squier Stratocasters Fender Stratocasters USA Fender Stratocasters Fender Custom Shop So, Which Stratocaster is Right for Me? A Brief History of the Stratocaster In 1954 California inventor Leo Fender along with his cohorts Freddie Tavares and George Fullerton set out to design a guitar that would build on the success of Fender’s Telecaster and Precision Bass. Seeking to create a guitar with more tonal versatility as well as improved playability and comfort, the trio came up with the Stratocaster. Adapted from the profile of the P-Bass, its double-cutaway, deeply contoured solid body offered easier access to the higher frets and nestled more comfortably against the player’s body."

"text": "\"Fender MIJ '62 Stratocaster Reissues Bob Leggitt | Tuesday, 8 November 2011 |Ah, the MIJ (Made in Japan) Fender vintage replicas of the '80s and early '90s… Perhaps more than any other, these guitars came to define my heyday as a guitarist. I bought my first one – a ’62 bound-edge Custom Telecaster reissue – in 1985, and at one point in the early 1990s I literally could not get enough of them. I didn’t drink, smoke or drive (still don’t), and I’d save every spare penny I earned. When I had enough cash, I’d take a trip down to Denmark Street in London, by train, and buy a new offering from Fender Japan. Nothing particularly special about London per se – the shops down there just discounted much more heavily than the ones where I lived. Many of the models could be bought for less than £300, which was a phenomenally good deal for such high quality guitars. Listed RRPs were usually upward of around £450 at the time, so some London retailers really were slashing prices to the bone! Possibly the best known instruments in the Japanese Fender range were the ’57 and ’62 Stratocaster reissues. They were the culmination of Fender’s response to super-accurate Far Eastern copies of old American Fenders. The damage wreaked upon Fender sales by vintage Tele and Strat replicas from the likes of Tokai and Fernandes was profound, and the only way Fender could address it was by playing the copyists at their own game."

Many other answers have pointed out that his speed and flash are not in evidence, but I hasten to say he is no slouch, it's more that he uses those licks sparingly.2. Versatility. In the Dire Straits era, you heard his acoustic playing once in a while. His solo career shows a lot of great versatility in electric, acoustic, and resonator guitars played in a number of different styles.3. Taste.

"text": "Fable Fighters: What's the Big Deal About USA-made vs. Offshore Guitars By Dave Hunter April 22, 2013THE GLOBALIZATION OF THE GUITAR market has brought us tremendous variety, both in cost and in features, but for some players a long-standing view of guitars manufactured overseas as somehow inherently “inferior” still holds sway. Is there any justification to the derogatory view of offshore-made guitars, or do they offer something to justify their place in the market? Foreign-made guitars have been with us in a big way since the mid ’60s, when the guitar boom spawned a market for cheap alternatives to America’s standard brands. From the mid to late ’70s, though, the tone shifted dramatically: American guitarists reluctantly accepted that the quality of some large U. S. makers just wasn’t what had been, while Japanese makers in particular— such as Yamaha, Ibanez, Tokai, and Aria— simultaneously made a quantum leap in their own production quality. Suddenly, offshore guitars weren’t just “the inexpensive option,” but a viable alternative, even for professional players. In response, both Fender and Gibson did two interesting things: they pursued their own offshore manufacturing, and they improved their American-made guitars. Both makers, and others on the home front, have since roared back with a vengeance. Meanwhile, Japan experienced its own boom and related cost increases, and the more affordable production expanded out to Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, and, closer to home, Mexico. Still, more than 40 years on from the original “cheapo guitar glut,” offshore-made guitars are again viewed in the eyes of some players as second- or third-rate alternatives—and perhaps, to those people, they always have been. Dissing offshore guitar production for the sake of bolstering U. S. employment numbers is one thing."

MONEYWATCH via CBS NEWS -- Sears Holdings is speeding up efforts to shutter about 50 unprofitable stores after warning its fourth-quarter revenue would come in short of expectations. The corporate parent of Sears and Kmart says employees at the doomed stores -- primarily Kmarts -- were told in January about the impending closures, which are slated to occur over the next couple of months. \"\" Liquidation sales are currently taking place,\"\" said company spokesman Howard Riefs, who declined to say how many workers were affected. The company will attempt at least $300 million in asset sales during the first half of fiscal 2016. Sears is also still looking at options for its auto center business, which could include a sale of all or part of the operations. Sears said Tuesday that it has reduced its debt by about $1 billion compared with 2014, and anticipates fourth-quarter revenue of $7.3 billion and full-year revenue of $25.1 billion. The retailer will release its quarterly and full-year financial results on Feb. 25.

Not finding anything she wanted, she headed for the auto center. \"\" Hardware and auto service,\"\" she said. \"\" That's what I think of when I think of Sears. \"\" In Columbus, Ohio, Mo Porven had much the same assessment at her local Sears: \"\"I trust them No. 1 for appliances. \"\" That may be Sears' biggest problem as it plans a future solely as a retailer, beset by mounting competition from discounters and other stores. The nation's fifth-largest retailer has to change its image before it can resurrect its business.

( Kena Betancur/AFP/Getty Images)By Jen Krausz | Friday, 17 March 2017 05:25 PMEmail Article | Comment | Contact | Print | A ATweet J. C. Penney has released the list of 138 stores it plans to close this year as part of an effort to concentrate on its top-performing locations and compete with Amazon and off-price competitors. J. C. Penney announced a few weeks ago that it would close up to 140 stores, and Macy’s and Sears have made similar announcements that mean the end of 300 major retail chain locations in total this year, according to CNBC. Consumers continue to shift some of their buying to online retailers and to off–price locations like T. J. Maxx and Marshalls, which is putting pressure on traditional retailers. “We believe closing stores will allow us to adjust our business to effectively compete against the growing threat of online retailers,” CEO Marvin Ellison said in February, CNBC reported. Most of the closures will happen in the second quarter, with liquidations beginning April 17, CNBC said Friday. J. C. Penney says it will save $200 million a year by closing these locations, which make up less than 5 percent of its yearly sales. About 900 J. C. Penney stores will remain open, according to USA Today. The closures will impact about 5,000 employees, but JCP plans to offer early retirement incentives to 6,000 employees, then transfer some key employees to different store locations, USA Today said."

"text": "\"RANDALL PARK MALL Northfield and Emery Roads North Randall, Ohio Hailed as the largest enclosed shopping center in the Buckeye State -let alone the planet- upon its completion, Greater Cleveland's RANDALL PARK MALL experienced a dramatic rise and fall over its 38-year existence. In the early 1970s, things had looked really rosy. Youngstown's Edward J. De Bartolo proposed a gargantuan retail center for the small Cleveland suburb of North Randall. The super-sized center was to occupy a 117 acre plot, located 15 miles southeast of Cleveland's Public Square. The parcel had been utilized for the Randall Park Race Track, a horse racing facility, between 1908-1935 and 1939-1968. Mr. De Bartolo had purchased the land in 1961. His \"\" City within a City \"\" was to be the nucleus of a grand development, which was to include three apartment buildings, two office towers and a performing arts center...none of which ever saw fruition. What did come to pass was a 1.5 million square foot, bi-level shopping center. The 175 million dollar complex, designed by De Bartolo's brother Frank, was anchored by a 2-level (285,700 square foot) Sears, 2-level (207,000 square foot) J. C. Penney, 2-level (176,300 square foot), Cleveland-based May Company Ohio, 2-level (170,000 square foot), Cleveland-based Higbee's and 3-level (201,000 square foot), Pittsburgh-based Joseph Horne Company. A potential sixth anchor, promoted by De Bartolo as a Cleveland-based Halle's [\"\"Hal-eez\"\"], was never built."

The department store has been bleeding cash, posting its ninth straight quarterly loss this morning. Sears CEO Eddie Lampert said that the company would close even more stores and cut costs in the coming months to combat the \"\"unacceptable\"\" losses. Earlier this year, former Sears executive Steven Dennis wrote that he believed a turnaround was impossible. \"\" The uncomfortable and sad reality is this: Sears has zero chance of transforming itself into a viable retail entity,\"\" Dennis said. Here are four reasons Sears is tanking and has little hope of recovery.1. No one wants to shop at Sears. The department store \"\"just doesn't have the same resonance, it doesn't have the same level of importance to people as it had 30 years ago,\"\" Matt Mc Ginley, managing director at International Strategy & Investment Group, told Bloomberg News."

Depending on which area of Europe you are traveling to, you may not need any additional vaccinations. Always check with the CDC for up-to-the-minute alerts for your destination. Routine Vaccinations The CDC recommends all children, whether traveling or not, be vaccinated against hepatitis B, rotavirus, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, haemophilus influenzae type b, pneumococcal, polio, influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella and hepatitis A. Recommendations for adolescents include additional vaccines for human papillomavirus, and meningococcal. For adults, the CDC recommends that all routine vaccinations be up-to-date before traveling to any destinations in Europe. Recommended Vaccinations for Travel to Europe For travel to Western Europe including Germany, France, and England, the only vaccinations recommended in 2009 by the CDC are for hepatitis B, and rabies if travelers anticipate coming into contact with bats, carnivores or other mammals, including dogs or cats. The CDC says the hepatitis B vaccine is \"\"recommended for all unvaccinated persons who might be exposed to blood or body fluids, have sexual contact with the local population, or be exposed through medical treatment, such as for an accident, even in developed countries, and for all adults requesting protection from HBV infection.\"\" Additional vaccinations are recommended for people traveling in 2009 to Eastern Europe and Northern Asia, such as the Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria. For tourists visiting those areas, the CDC recommends additional vaccination against hepatitis A and typhoid. The CDC recommends hepatitis A \"\"for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in countries with an intermediate or high level of hepatitis A virus infection where exposure might occur through food or water."

It was the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. During the 19th century economic and industrial growth gathered pace; it was also a period of scientific discovery and invention. Old ideas of infectious disease epidemiology (incidence, distribution, and control of diseases) made way to virology and bacteriology. Microbiology made advances, a science that started with Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek (1632 - 1723), who first observed microorganisms with a microscope. Enormous development s were made in identifying and preventing illnesses. However, one problem still persisted, and that was treating and curing infectious diseases. During the 19th century the world changed dramatically: Industry expanded enormously, and with it came various work-related diseases, such as \"\"phossy jaw\"\" (jaw necrosis among those working with phosphorous, usually in the match industry), lung diseases and dermatitis."

Yet our most crucial defense against bioterrorism - the public health systemæ has been systematically eroded by decades of under-funding and poor management. In light of the events of September 11, we can be certain that thousands of lives depend on the speed and efficiency with which we address these shortcomings. Smallpox in History Smallpox is the most vicious infectious disease to have ever afflicted mankind. For at least three millennia, smallpox infection ravaged human populations, sparing few countries. The mummy of Ramses V (1160 B. C.) exhibits a rash suggestive of smallpox, and Hindu texts from as early as 1000 B. C. describe ointments for its treatment.1 As populations grew and migrated, the disease spread across the globe, killing millions of people and shaping the course of history. In Europe, smallpox killed five reigning monarchs in the eighteenth century alone, and was responsible for the deaths of 200,000 to 600,000 people each year. 2The infection was named Small Pox by an English physician in the late sixteenth century to distinguish it from the Great Poxæ syphilisæ which had reached epidemic proportions in Europe."

Share Email Print Feedback Practice Essentials Pediatric bacterial meningitis is a life-threatening illness that results from bacterial infection of the meninges and leaves some survivors with significant sequelae. Therefore, meticulous attention must be paid to appropriate treatment and monitoring of patients with this disease. Signs and symptoms The 3 classic symptoms (less likely in younger children): Fever Headache Meningeal signs Symptoms in neonates: Poor feeding Lethargy Irritability Apnea Listlessness Apathy Fever Hypothermia Seizures Jaundice Bulging fontanelle Pallor Shock Hypotonia Shrill cry Hypoglycemia Intractable metabolic acidosis Symptoms in infants and children: Nuchal rigidity Opisthotonos Bulging fontanelle Convulsions Photophobia Headache Alterations of the sensorium Irritability Lethargy Anorexia Nausea Vomiting Coma Fever (generally present, although some severely ill children present with hypothermia)See Clinical Presentation for more specific information on the signs and symptoms of pediatric bacterial meningitis. Diagnosis Definitive diagnosis is based on the following: Bacteria isolated from the CSF obtained via lumbar puncture Meningeal inflammation demonstrated by increased pleocytosis, elevated protein level, and low glucose level in the CSFBacterial meningitis score Components of the bacterial meningitis score [ 1] are as follows: Positive CSF Gram stain CSF absolute neutrophil count 1000/µL or higher CSF protein level 80 mg/d L or higher Peripheral blood absolute neutrophil count 10,000/µL or higher History of seizure before or at the time of presentation Specific hematologic, radiographic (eg, computed tomography [CT] and magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]), and other studies assist in diagnosis. CT and MRI may reveal ventriculomegaly and sulcal effacement (see the image below). Acute bacterial meningitis. This axial nonenhanced CT scan shows mild ventriculomegaly and sulcal effacement. View Media Gallery See Workup for more specific information on testing and imaging modalities for pediatric bacterial meningitis. Management IV antibiotics are required; if cause is unknown, agents can be based on child’s age, as follows:< 30 days, ampicillin and an aminoglycoside or a cephalosporin30-60 days, ampicillin and a cephalosporin; because Streptococcus pneumoniae may occur in this age range, consider vancomycin instead of ampicillin In older children, a cephalosporin or ampicillin plus chloramphenicol with vancomycin (needs to be added secondary to the possibility of S pneumoniae )Guidelines and recommendations Infectious Diseases Society of America: Vancomycin plus either ceftriaxone or cefotaxime [ 2]Duration of therapy: Neisseria meningitidis - 7 days Haemophilus influenzae - 7 days Streptococcus pneumoniae - 10-14 days S agalactiae (GBS) - 14-21 days Aerobic gram-negative bacilli - 21 days or 2 weeks beyond the first sterile culture (whichever is longer)Listeria monocytogenes - 21 days or longer American Academy of Pediatrics: Duration of therapy should not be shorter than 5 days for meningococcus, 10 days for H influenzae, and 14 days for S pneumoniae [ 3]Prevention Preventive therapy has been shown to reduce mortality and morbidity and consists of the following: Chemoprophylaxis: Rifampin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin; ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone are more effective against resistant strains of Neisseria meningitidis up to 4 weeks after treatment Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib): Rifampin chemoprophylaxis for contacts of index cases of invasive Hib disease; Men Hibrix provides immunization against Hib and meningococcal serogroups C and YNeisseria meningitidis: Quadrivalent (ie, A, C, Y, W-135) meningococcal conjugate vaccine recommended for high-risk groups See Treatment and Medication for more specific information on pharmacologic and other therapies for pediatric bacterial meningitis.

Prior to the arrival of the Europeans, American Indians were remarkably free of serious diseases. People did not often die from diseases. As the European explorers and colonists began to arrive, this changed and the consequences were disastrous for Native American people. The death tolls from the newly introduced European diseases often reached 80-90 percent. Entire groups of people vanished before the tidal wave of disease. Aboriginal Health: If we were to compare the overall health of American Indians in North America with that of Europeans in 1500, we would find that Indians were generally healthier. There are a number of reasons for this. First, Indians had better diets and they were less likely to face starvation and hunger. The first Europeans to reach North America often commented on the large size of the Indians."

"text": "When meningitis outbreaks sickened students at Princeton and at the University of California at Santa Barbara last year, the schools had to seek special permission to vaccinate their students, using a vaccine that was not yet approved for use in the United States. On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration approved a vaccine for the first time for the deadly type of meningitis that affected the students. The vaccine, Trumenba, protects against serogroup B, one of five forms of bacterial meningitis. It is manufactured by Pfizer. The FDA accelerated the approval of Trumenba, completing the approval process in “well under six months,” the typical time frame for completing even a priority review of a new drug, Dr. Karen Midthun said in a conference call with reporters Thursday. Midthun, the director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said that the 2013 outbreaks “underscored the urgent public health need” for a vaccine for serogroup B meningcoccal disease in the United States. Two existing vaccines, Menactra and Menveo, prevent the other four types of bacterial meningitis and are currently recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for all preteens and adolescents. Many schools and colleges require students to receive a meningitis vaccine before enrolling. The CDC did not immediately respond to questions on Thursday about whether it would start recommending Trumenba for all adolescents or just for use in locations where a meningitis outbreak is occurring. Serogroup B meningitis caused 160 of the 500 cases of meningococcal disease in the country in 2012, according to the CDC."

[ 1] The spread of diseases across wide geographic scales has increased through history. Early diseases that spread from Asia to Europe were bubonic plague, influenza of various types, and similar infectious diseases. In the current era of globalization, the world is more interdependent than at any other time. Efficient and inexpensive transportation has left few places inaccessible, and increased global trade in agricultural products has brought more and more people into contact with animal diseases that have subsequently jumped species barriers (see zoonosis ). [ 2]Globalization intensified during the Age of Exploration, but trading routes had long been established between Asia and Europe, along which diseases were also transmitted. An increase in travel has helped spread diseases to natives of lands who had not previously been exposed. When a native population is infected with a new disease, where they have not developed antibodies through generations of previous exposure, the new disease tends to run rampant within the population. Etiology, the modern branch of science that deals with the causes of infectious disease, recognizes five major modes of disease transmission: airborne, waterborne, bloodborne, by direct contact, and through vector ( insects or other creatures that carry germs from one species to another). [ 3] As humans began traveling over seas and across lands which were previously isolated, research suggests that diseases have been spread by all five transmission modes."

We will continue to focus necessary resources to ensure that we can help meet current and future global public health needs for our combination measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, M-M-RII (Measles, Mumps and Rubella Virus Vaccine Live). \"\" The combination vaccine M-M-RII is recommended by the ACIP, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and is preferred over the monovalent vaccines because it eliminates the need for 3 separate injections and reduces the chance of delays in helping protect against any of these potentially serious diseases. There is no medical reason to administer the measles, mumps, and rubella antigens separately, and ACIP guidelines do not support their use. \"\" Even though we have an uninterrupted supply of Measles and Rubella vaccines from our regular manufacturer, Merck has the exclusive rights to the Jeryl Lynn strain of the Mumps virus used both in the combined MMR and the single Mumps vaccinations.

The symptoms can vary from mild non-specific signs such as lethargy and depression, to more severe signs such as abdominal pain, jaundice, liver damage and even death. Dogs that have been infected may go on to become carriers so shedding the bacteria in their urine. Serovar Canicola The dog is the main carrier of disease. This form of disease primarily affects the kidneys and clinical signs can vary from mild and non-specific, to kidney failure or sudden death."

"text": "Arboviruses Slide Set Arthropod-Borne Viruses Arthopod-borne viruses (Arboviruses) are viruses which could be transmitted to man via an insect (arthropod) vector. In most instances, the virus is maintained in nature between the vector and an animal host. Man gets infected incidentally but is a dead end of infection. Sometimes, a human-vector-human cycle may occur e.g. Yellow Fever and Dengue. In this case, the reservoir may be in either humans or the vector. Transovarial infection may play an important role in the maintenance of infection in the vector. In general arboviruses belong to three families:-1. Togaviruses - genera alphaviruses e.g. EEE, WEE, VEE. 2. Bunyaviruses - e.g. Sicilian Sandfly Fever, Rift Valley Fever, Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever."

"text": "Diseases : A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y ZWhere Did Measles Come From ? Measles is a viral infection that causes characteristic rash on the body. In addition, the infected person also suffers from fever, cough, runny nose and red watery eyes. The infection is highly contagious, and it is transmitted through airborne droplets when the infected person coughs and sneezes. Usually the infection does not require any treatment, and goes away on its own. Once a person gets measles, he or she develops life long immunity. The question remains where did measles come from. It is believed that measles could have come from a dog disease known as distemper. Centuries ago when man was domesticating dog, it is quite possible that the disease jumped from the animal onto the humans after the virus mutated. This most probably occurred when humans started living in cities because the virus that causes measles requires a large population to sustain itself."

These rules establish an organized structure for your paper, offering your professor a coherent way to read and analyze your paper's ideas and concepts and to evaluate the credibility of your arguments. These types of rules also render a canonical, widely-accepted formula for citing your sources, and thus evading accidental plagiarism of material. Deciding on which \"\" manual of style \"\" to adopt is a judgment that you and/or your professor must make. A few distinct common styles prevail, consisting of MLA Style (used for humanities and liberal arts), APA Style, and Chicago Manual of Style. Typically, you use a style according to the topic of your paper. Each style handles the format of the paper a tad differently to comply with quotation requirements for the topic. Herein we'll examine the similarities and differences between APA Style and Chicago Manual of Style. I.

There are different citations styles (Chicago, MLA, Harvard, etc.) used in research papers in every high school, college or university, and so little people, who know how to complete them professionally. This is why Adavnced Writers.com is the top choice for having their APA-style works created in a proper way. Why APA? The APA got its name from the American Psychological Association that published the manual that described it for the first time. The style is often wanted in education or social sciences fields and differs from all other styles both by the outlook and presentation. It does not utilize the end or footnotes, yet uses the parenthetical ones instead offering pretty brief details about the author as well as the date of publication. At the same time, all full source details are provided at the end of a work, on a reference page. When a regular student completes an APA work, he/she makes too many formatting mistakes that have nothing to do with the assignment quality."

"text": "\"Chapter 13 APA and MLA Documentation and Formatting13.1 Formatting a Research Paper Learning Objectives Identify the major components of a research paper written using American Psychological Association (APA) style. Apply general APA style and formatting conventions in a research paper. In this chapter, you will learn how to use APA style, the documentation and formatting style followed by the American Psychological Association, as well as MLA style, from the Modern Language Association. There are a few major formatting styles used in academic texts, including AMA, Chicago, and Turabian: AMA (American Medical Association) for medicine, health, and biological sciences APA (American Psychological Association) for education, psychology, and the social sciences Chicago—a common style used in everyday publications like magazines, newspapers, and books MLA (Modern Language Association) for English, literature, arts, and humanities Turabian—another common style designed for its universal application across all subjects and disciplines While all the formatting and citation styles have their own use and applications, in this chapter we focus our attention on the two styles you are most likely to use in your academic studies: APA and MLA. If you find that the rules of proper source documentation are difficult to keep straight, you are not alone. Writing a good research paper is, in and of itself, a major intellectual challenge. Having to follow detailed citation and formatting guidelines as well may seem like just one more task to add to an already-too-long list of requirements. Following these guidelines, however, serves several important purposes. First, it signals to your readers that your paper should be taken seriously as a student’s contribution to a given academic or professional field; it is the literary equivalent of wearing a tailored suit to a job interview. Second, it shows that you respect other people’s work enough to give them proper credit for it."

"text": "\"acetylcholine The Oxford Companion to the Body © The Oxford Companion to the Body 2001, originally published by Oxford University Press 2001.acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter released from nerve endings (terminals) in both the peripheral and the central nervous systems. It is synthesized within the nerve terminal from choline, taken up from the tissue fluid into the nerve ending by a specialized transport mechanism. The enzyme necessary for this synthesis ( choline acetyltransferase) is formed in the nerve cell body and passes down the axon to its end, carried in the axoplasmic flow, the slow movement of intracellular substance ( cytoplasm ). Acetylcholine is stored in the nerve terminal, sequestered in small vesicles awaiting release. When a nerve action potential reaches and invades the nerve terminal, a shower of acetylcholine vesicles is released into the junction ( synapse) between the nerve terminal and the ‘effector’ cell which the nerve activates. This may be another nerve cell or a muscle or gland cell. Thus electrical signals are converted to chemical signals, allowing messages to be passed between nerve cells or between nerve cells and non-nerve cells. This process is termed ‘chemical neurotransmission’ and was first demonstrated, for nerves to the heart, by the German pharmacologist Loewi in 1921. Chemical transmission involving acetylcholine is known as ‘cholinergic’. Acetylcholine acts as a transmitter between motor nerves and the fibres of skeletal muscle at all neuromuscular junctions."

Annotated bibliographies of web sources can be particularly useful because of the myriad of pages associated with one website. The bibliography will steer you back to the page you sourced, and the annotation will remind you what information you gathered from that page. Annotated bibliographies begin with the bibliographic citation, followed by your annotation. Modern Language Association (MLA) Style In MLA style, cite the author’s name, article or page name, title of the website, version numbers, publisher information and the date you accessed the site. MLA style does not require URLs in bibliographic citations, but for an annotated bibliography, you might want to include it so you can easily find the site again.

Jackson first experienced war at thirteen, fighting in the Battle of Hanging Rock, South Carolina (6 August 1780). Subsequently captured, he remained uncooperative and was slashed by a British officer, creating an antipathy as permanent as the scar on his face. Jackson's entire family perished in the Revolutionary War. In 1788, Jackson moved to western North Carolina (now Tennessee ), where he served as a field‐grade officer in the Tennessee militia and was elected, 1802, as major general—a post considered second only to that of the governor. In 1813, he commanded the Tennessee troops sent to subdue the Creeks in present‐day Alabama. After several minor victories that significantly weakened the Indians, Jackson delivered a devastating blow at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, 27–28 March 1814.

"text": "What is a DOI? A DOI is a digital object identifier, a unique number that is assigned to a digital or electronic work. A DOI that is assigned to a scholarly article basically works the same way an ISBN number works for a print book. It is a unique idenitifier for that article. The DOI also allows for a permanent link to be made to the electronic version of that article, whereas URLs may expire or move. Electronic books may also be assigned a DOI. Here is the explanation of the DOI system from the International DOI Foundation (IDF), from http://www.doi.org/: The Digital Object Identifier (DOI ®) System is for identifying content objects in the digital environment. DOI ® names are assigned to any entity for use on digital networks. They are used to provide current information, including where they (or information about them) can be found on the Internet. Information about a digital object may change over time, including where to find it, but its DOI name will not change."

"text": "\"international division of labour A Dictionary of Sociology © A Dictionary of Sociology 1998, originally published by Oxford University Press 1998.international division of labour The specialization of particular countries in distinct branches of production, whether this be in certain products, or in selected parts of the production process. The concept suggests that the spread of markets and production processes world-wide creates (as indeed this same process has done within particular economies) a growing differentiation of economic activity. However, whereas in orthodox economics the division of labour as such is seen as providing mutual benefit for these specialized branches of activity, alternative analyses of the international division of labour stress the inequalities and structured hierarchies which it creates. Thus, Folker Fröbel and his colleagues ( The New International Division of Labour, 1980), analysing the industrialization of selected Third World countries in the late 1970s, showed how this involved the creation of a new (often mainly feminine) working class that worked for lower wages and in inferior conditions on new electrical and other assembly lines. Some theories and studies of post-industrial society suggest that a significant proportion of industrial activity, and particularly its ecologically damaging and low-skill elements, are being shifted to intermediate and developing countries (‘the new international division of labour’).

Now landlords and developers wonder whether they can create enough supply - quickly enough - to meet growing demand for downtown living. CLEVELAND, Ohio -- With apartments nearly full and waiting lists piling up, a sense of rental euphoria has fallen over downtown Cleveland. The downtown apartment market has tightened up dramatically, thanks to growing zest for urban living and a housing crash that helped make apartments the hottest commodity in the real estate business. The occupancy spike - to 98 percent or higher at some buildings - has developers looking for their next project and wondering whether Cleveland can create enough supply to meet renter demand. \"\" Downtown needs more apartments, and it's just that simple,\"\" said Ralph Mc Greevy, executive vice president of the Northeast Ohio Apartment Association. Apartment are filling up across the country. In the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor area, landlords are having their best year since the early 2000s, according to data from research firm Reis Inc. The region's occupancy rate hit a recent low of 93 percent during the first quarter of 2010. Now it's 95.2 percent - better than the national rate of 94.4 percent in the third quarter."

Norman blind arcade, Ely Cathedral Arcade with shops behind, running along a row of originally High Medieval houses in Metz, France. Courtyard of the Great Mosque of Damascus An arcade is a succession of arches, each counter-thrusting the next, supported by columns, piers, or a covered walkway enclosed by a line of such arches on one or both sides. In warmer or wet climates, exterior arcades provide shelter for pedestrians. The walkway may be lined with stores. [ 1] A blind arcade superimposes arcading against a solid wall. [ 2]Blind arcades are a feature of Romanesque architecture that influenced Gothic architecture. In the Gothic architectural tradition, the arcade can be located in the interior, in the lowest part of the wall of the nave, supporting the triforium and the clerestory in a cathedral, [3] or on the exterior, in which they are usually part of the walkways that surround the courtyard and cloisters. Many medieval arcades housed shops or stalls, either in the arcaded space itself, or set into the main wall behind. From this, \"\"arcade\"\" has become a general word for a group of shops in a single building, regardless of the architectural form."

[ 6] Toledo is in northwest Ohio, at the western end of Lake Erie bordering the state of Michigan. The city was founded by United States citizens in 1833 on the west bank of the Maumee River, and originally incorporated as part of Monroe County, Michigan Territory. It was re-founded in 1837, after conclusion of the Toledo War, when it was incorporated in Ohio. After the 1845 completion of the Miami and Erie Canal, Toledo grew quickly; it also benefited from its position on the railway line between New York City and Chicago. The first of many glass manufacturers arrived in the 1880s, eventually earning Toledo its nickname: \"\"The Glass City\"\". It has since become a city with an art community, auto assembly businesses, education, healthcare, and local sports teams. The population of Toledo as of the 2010 Census was 287,208, making it the 71st- largest city in the United States."

"text": "Clearwater Memorial Causeway, Clearwater Originally constructed in the 1920's as a low level two lane drawbridge, the Clearwater Memorial Causeway was reconstructed in 1963 as a high level drawbridge similar to the Madeira Beach Causeway and was liberated from the kingdom of the Draw Bridge Ahead warning sign in 2005 when the new high level Clearwater Memorial Causeway was opened. Connecting Clearwater with Clearwater Beach, the Clearwater Memorial Causeway is a part of FL 60, a cross Florida highway beginning at the roundabout at Clearwater Beach and traversing the state across the Courtney Campbell Parkway and through Tampa, Brandon, Bartow, Lake Wales and the Florida Turnpike junction at Yeehaw Junction and ending in Vero Beach. The first Clearwater Memorial Causeway bridge was a wooden bridge built around 1915. At that time Pinellas County was just a young county only three years old after separation from Hillsborough County and Clearwater was just a sleepy little town, being selected as the county seat of Pinellas County to the disdain of St. Petersburg. The wooden bridge lasted for several years into the 1920's when a two-lane reinforced concrete drawbridge was built. The two-lane Clearwater Memorial Causeway served its needs very well carrying beach goers to Clearwater Beach (back then, you did not have these high rise hotels and condominiums that we know today). Around 1960 growth within Clearwater Beach as well as Clearwater itself plus heavy traffic was justification for the Florida DOT to build a high level drawbridge similar to the Madeira Beach Causeway to replace the 1920's two-lane drawbridge. When the high level drawbridge opened in 1963 the 1920's drawbridge was converted into a fishing pier. Being an integral part of FL 60, the 1963 Clearwater Memorial Causeway drawbridge was built as a 4-lane drawbridge to allow for expansion of the highway to better serve Clearwater Beach. Like its 1920's predecessor, the 1963 drawbridge served the needs of Clearwater, Clearwater Beach and the surrounding area well into the 21st Century."

[ 2] The facility also included a number of retail stores and restaurants. Original designs for the complex show that at first the brothers did not plan on building an office tower within the complex. However, they eventually decided to build the 52-story Terminal Tower on the northeast side of the complex facing Public Square. From its completion until 1964, the Terminal Tower was the tallest building in North America outside of New York City. Cleveland Union Terminal also served as the downtown station for the Van Sweringens' new Shaker Heights Rapid Transit Line.

The town of Corona was once the \"\"Lemon Capital of the World\"\". A museum there presents the lemon's former role in the local economy. The city derived its name (and its nickname, \"\"The Circle City\"\") from the curious layout of its streets, with a standard grid enclosed by the circular Grand Boulevard, 2.75 miles (4.43 kilometers) in circumference. [ 9] The street layout was designed by Hiram Clay Kellogg, a civil engineer from Anaheim who was an influential figure in the early development of Orange County."

"text": "Pro Basketball How the Warriors Won Another N. B. A. Championship (and Built a Dynasty)By BENJAMIN HOFFMAN JUNE 12, 2017The Golden State Warriors celebrated with the Larry O’Brien Trophy after winning the championship. Kyle Terada/USA Today Sports, via Reuters After the Golden State Warriors failed to finish off the Cleveland Cavaliers in last year’s N. B. A. finals, blowing a 3-1 lead in the series, they knew they needed to get better if they wanted to go from a one-time title winner to a dynasty. So the team aggressively pursued superstar Kevin Durant in free agency. The former M. V. P. was worth every penny, leading the Warriors to their second championship in three years. Durant, who became just the sixth player in N. B. A. history to score 30 or more points in each game of a finals, had 39 in the series-clinching Game 5 victory. He proved his value all over the court with dominant play inside, great outside shooting and tenacious defense as the Warriors beat the Cavaliers 129-120. Kevin Durant...from WAY downtown. @warriors have taken the lead on #NBAon ABC. pic.twitter.com/JPevoogqyl— NBA (@NBA) June 13, 2017Here are the key takeaways from Game 5:■ Durant, in his first year with the Warriors, was an easy choice as Finals M. V. P. as he became just the sixth player to score 30 or more points in each game of a championship round. He joined Elgin Baylor (1962), Rick Barry (1967), Michael Jordan (1993), Hakeem Olajuwon (1995) and Shaquille O’Neal (2000, 2002)."

"text": "Top 10 Best American Downtowns117By Shell Harris on January 16, 2012 Travel As a country, the United States is probably better characterized by suburbia than by urbanity, by sprawling office parks rather than by dense commercial districts. Nevertheless, the concept of a “downtown”, or a centralized and distinct commercial district, first came into use in America, as cities developed along lines that created stark divisions between the 19th century urban core and the newer, less dense, residential neighborhoods of the 20th century. The United States boasts countless defined city centers; some of which are small and derelict, while others are among the most impressive in the world. To further examine those commercial cores that tend towards the latter, here is a list of the top ten American downtowns. This list is based on size, vibrancy, architecture, businesses, and general aesthetics. While many smaller cities may boast impressive downtowns, this ranking focuses only on major metropolitan areas.10. Milwaukee Milwaukee likely has the smallest urban core on this list, a fact that certainly hurts the city’s ranking. But this lack of size is also a definite asset: the downtown area boasts upscale river walks, one of the country’s most vibrant loft districts, an impressive collection of museums and academic institutions (try the Pabst Theater if you enjoy absorbing plays while supporting one of America’s most popular home-grown brews), and, of course, easy access to the Lake Michigan beach. Furthermore, Milwaukee’s downtown is clean and easy to naviagte, with a lake-and-river setting that makes it seem like a more relaxed version of Chicago’s central core.9. Detroit It’s no secret that the city of Detroit has fallen on tough times."

Even sooner, a Hyatt Place hotel opens in the Custom House, the 17-story former post office tower overlooking Kellogg Boulevard and the Mississippi River. Like the six new restaurants ringing CHS Field, the new home of the St. Paul Saints, there’s fresh energy in downtown St. Paul. Developers plan big changes to the First National Bank building, the Lowry building, the Degree of Honor building, the Empire building and the former Pioneer Press headquarters at 345 Cedar St. The old Ramsey County jail is gone, and the West Publishing headquarters will soon follow.

If the roster of potential house rentals for next year's Republican National Convention is any indicator, Clevelanders - often the biggest critics of their own city - are feeling uncharacteristically confident. A professor at Case Western Reserve University is asking $109,000 for a weeklong stay at a six-bedroom house on Shaker Boulevard. A Bratenahl century home facing Lake Erie bears a price tag of $100,000 for the week of July 17. Dozens of homeowners believe politicians, lobbyists and media companies will pay $20,000 or more for a rental during the RNC, based on hundreds of online listings. This is not one of those times when Cleveland's inferiority complex is holding us back. On this occasion, it appears, we're being hampered by hubris. Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, the official real estate partner for the convention, has nearly 200 properties available on a website dedicated to the RNC. As of Friday, though, the company still hadn't finalized a single rental contract. \"\" The listings that we have out there aren't even representative of a third of what's kind of waiting to list,\"\" said Jared Zak, director of property management for Howard Hanna. \"\""

Common names include greenfly and blackfly, [a] but the insects can also be brown or pink, and the group includes the fluffy white woolly aphids. A typical life cycle involves flightless females giving living birth to female nymphs without the involvement of males. Maturing rapidly, females breed profusely so that the number of these insects multiplies quickly. Winged females may develop later in the season, allowing the insects to colonise new plants. In temperate regions, a phase of sexual reproduction occurs in the autumn, with the insects often overwintering as eggs. The life cycle of some species involves an alternation between two host plants, for example between an annual crop and a woody plant. Some species feed on only one type of plant, while others are generalists, colonising many plant groups."

Valued for their beautiful and often fragrant blooms, roses have been cultivated in gardens for centuries as vines, shrubs, specimen plants, groundcovers, and container plants. Roses can grow and flower 9 months of the year in North Florida and year-round in the rest of Florida. Roses have become especially popular in recent years with the introduction of Knock Out® and other shrub roses. Unfortunately, increased use and misuse of roses have resulted in more reports of pest problems. Rose pests can be minimized by following basic guidelines for rose selection and care:• Select pest-resistant varieties. Many old garden roses and some new roses are disease resistant. Check the Solutions for Your Life website ( http://www.solutionsforyourlife.com/ ), your county's Extension office, or your local rose society for more information about selecting roses. Buy healthy plants. Avoid plants that have:spotted, discolored, or distorted leaves;discolored canes (stems);discolored roots; orswollen areas on stems or roots."

Growing cactus and succulent plants without extremely toxic insecticides and fungicides is easier as more organic and natural alternatives are becoming available. In many cases cactus plants that are infested with insects like mealy bugs are very hard to save whether using insecticides or 'green' alternatives. The choices we make about how we deal with insect problems may be as much a matter of our own health as it is saving the life of the plant. It may be just as well to avoid traditional insecticides in favor of lowering our own personal risk, because infested cacti have a high mortality rate. Even if we eradicate the infestation cactus plants may die several months later as a result of the damage caused by the insects . The choices we make may seem difficult, but it is good to remember that most of the time house plants, including cactus and succulent plants, are replaceable. Perhaps in natures dry sunny outdoor climate cactus plants have fewer pest problems than our broadleaf house plants, but in our living spaces just about any pest that can infest tropical house plants will also be able to infest most succulents and cacti too. A few examples are scales, mites, spider mites, white flies, mealy bugs, and aphids. It is better to avoid using insecticidal soaps because they can cause permeant damage to the skin of some species."

Pepper maggots, important pepper pests, prefer to infest the hot cherry peppers. Since pest control is concentrated on the trap crops, the main crops grown are usually left unsprayed. This practice preserves most of the beneficial insects that help control aphids and corn borer eggs (Boucher, 2002). The maggot population increases due to the continuous planting of members of nightshade crops in the same field. Practicing crop rotation or multiple cropping with other crops like beans, carrot, marigold, marjoram, onion, and tansy (Ellis; Bradley, 1996: pp. 173, 419-420) disrupts the life cycle of pests attacking nightshade crops and attracts natural enemies into the field crops' environment (Berke; et al., 2001). Apply organic material fertilizers in both irrigated or rainfed conditions to improve plant growth and soil condition such as: Cow dung at 10-15 t/ha, poultry manure at 3-4 t/ha, and goat manure at 5-6 t/ha."

While these exceptionally hardy plants will survive in less than perfect conditions, in perfect conditions they are stunning. A mature plant will form tight rosettes of arching leaves with a profusion of hanging plantlets on long stems, up to three feet, somewhat like a bushy green mane. Although there is a pure green variety, the most common variety seen in garden centers in the green-and-white striped 'Variegatum.' Mature plants have small white flowers. Growing Conditions While spider plants will grow under most conditions, there are some things to consider if you want your plant to thrive. In terms of light, they are rather undemanding. Spider plants prefer bright light and tend toward scorching in direct sunlight. However, they will grow in conditions ranging from semi-shady to partial direct sun. You should water them liberally through the summer and mist occasionally."

Growing hops at home is easy if you know the tricks of the trade. But you better hurry - as spring turns to summer the prime time for establishing new starts is quickly passing. Driving along Highway 99 in Oregon's Willamette Valley, just a few miles north of Brewing Techniques offices, you can see towering poles with climbing green vines reaching for the sky. To the uninitiate, the plants may look strange and unfamiliar, but they produce the favorite flower in a beer brewer's yard. The female flower of the hop vine Humulus lupulus provides beer its characteristic bitterness, flavor, and aroma. Brewers have also exploited its natural preservative qualities for years. If you choose to grow hops at home they can deliver a great deal of satisfaction as well, bringing you one step closer to a truly unique hand-crafted beer. The hop is a hardy, perennial plant that is easily grown at home, provided sufficient sun and climbing space are available. The hop produces annual vines from a permanent root stock known as the crown."

Morning glories are hardy plants and are normally healthy, but sometimes insects on morning glory vines harm the health of the plant. Yellow, wilting leaves are telltale signs that your plant has an insect problem. Morning Glory Pest Problems There are two common types of insect pests affecting morning glories; both are sucking pests. One is the cotton aphid and the other sucking pest is a spider mite. Cotton aphids come in many colors. They like to attack the morning glory in the morning. They are difficult to see, but if you look closely, you will observe a mass of aphids on a leaf that is yellowed and crinkling. The spider mite sucks the sap from the underside of the leaf with its sharp mouth. By the time spider mites are detected, a considerable amount of damage will have been sustained by the morning glory."

The tree’s oil, known in Sanskrit as Sarva Roga Nirvani or “cure of all ailments,” has a long history of skin-care and medicinal uses. Because of its nourishing, acne-fighting qualities, it’s often found in specialty soaps and other modern skin products. Neem is best known as an organic method for controlling insect pests. The compounds contained in the oil work in many ways against many insects, interfering with their reproductive cycles, inhibiting their feeding, serving as a repellent, and, with some pests, as a contact-insecticide that kills them outright.

Different ones can strike at different times of the year and they can quickly spread to other rose bushes in the same garden, and to neighboring gardens. Rose gardeners need to make visual inspection of the bushes a part of their daily routine or they run the risk of losing flowers, leaves and, in the worse cases, the entire bush. Types Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica), also known as the chafer beetle, rose chafer and garden chafer; aphids (Macrosiphum rosae), also known as plant lice; thrips (Anaphothrips obscurus or Frankliniella tritici), also called grass thrips or oat bugs, and the rose leaf hopper are all insects that can do various levels of damage to a rose bush. Appearance Japanese beetles are from a quarter to a half inch in length and are a copper-green color. Aphids are from a sixteenth to an eighth inch long and can be light green, brown, red or black. Thrips are just 1 mm (0.039 of an inch) long, dark brown and have fringed wing tips. Red leaf hoppers are 3 mm (0.118 of an inch) long, wedge shaped and greenish yellow. They will jump when disturbed and prefer floribunda roses. Signs Japanese beetles will start at the top of the bush and at the outside edges of the leaves."

Aphids, Mealybugs and Scale Insects Aphids, mealybugs and scale insects all feed on the juices found within the Leyland cypress foliage, stems and twigs. Aphids and scale insects tend to feed in colonies. Aphids and scale insects also exude a sticky substance known as honeydew that attracts ants and provides a growth medium for sooty mold. Heavy infestations can cause yellowing foliage and curling or deformed leaves. Keep Leyland cypress trees healthy to minimize the damage from these insects.

Though they will survive under low light as they long as they have moist soil, they do best in medium or full sun when grown indoors, but should be planted in shady areas if placed outside. Aralias prefer temperatures between 60 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, so keep them inside or move them indoors during the winter. Watering The thin, fine roots of aralias are subject to rot, so allow the upper half of the soil to thoroughly dry out between waterings. If grown under low light, they may need water just once or twice a month, so monitor the soil carefully. In the winter, the growth of aralias slows considerably and they require even less water."

"text": "Related Articles Climbing Potato Vine Plants The Bugs on a Sweet Potato Vine Will Glyphosate Kill Potato Plants? What to Spray for Potato Pests Part of the nightshade family, the potato vine (Solanum jasminoides) is starkly different than the common tuber potato plant. Consisting of a creeping vine and bluish white blooms, this evergreen does not produce any food source, but offers lush foliage for trellis decoration and backyard privacy. However, a number of different pests and diseases can befall a potato vine and cause plant death. Aphids Potato vine foliage is a temptation for insect infestation, especially for aphids. These extremely small pests feast on the internal leaf fluids by penetrating the surface with their mouthparts. Although a small quantity of aphids will not kill a potato vine, a population explosion or a true infestation can decimate the plant's leaves. The flat foliage will become warped and bent; since the leaf cannot photosynthesize properly with a curled leaf structure, the plant growth slows and can completely stop without treatment. Horticultural soaps made specifically for aphid or general insect control are the best choice to rid the potato vine of a major infestation. Glasshouse Red Spider Mite An arachnid that can potentially kill a potato vine is the glasshouse red spider mite."

Additionally, winged aphids can appear when colonies are established and fly to infect new plants. Juvenile aphids (nymphs) look like smaller versions of the adults. Aphid infestations tend to develop quickly, and the insects are highly mobile: they rapidly travel from one plant to another.

Brown Jr., Bugwood.org Cucumber mosaic disease was first reported in North America around 1900 and has since spread worldwide. Cucumber mosaic disease isn’t limited to cucumbers. While these and other cucurbits can be stricken, Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) regularly attacks a wide variety of garden vegetables and ornamentals as well as common weeds. It’s so similar to the Tobacco and Tomato Mosaic Viruses only an expert horticulturalist or laboratory testing can distinguish one from the other. What Causes Cucumber Mosaic Disease? What causes Cucumber Mosaic disease is the transfer of the virus from one infected plant to another through the bite of an aphid. The infection is acquired by the aphid in just one minute after ingestion and is gone within hours. Great for the aphid, but really unfortunate for the hundreds of plants it can bite during those few hours. If there’s any good news here it’s that unlike some other mosaics, Cucumber Mosaic Virus can’t be passed along through seeds and won’t persist in plant debris or soil. Cucumber Mosaic Virus Symptoms Cucumber Mosaic Virus symptoms are rarely seen in cucumber seedlings."

In this article we’ve put together the best known partnerships in flowers, herbs and vegetables to help you improve the health of your garden plants without needing to resort to pesticides. Hints and tips Avoid monocultures. This is where the same type of plant is grown en masse or in rows. Monoculture makes it much easier for pests and diseases to find their favourite plants and then spread quickly. Use tall plants such as peas or sweet corn to create partially shaded conditions for crops prone to bolting, such as coriander, lettuce and spinach. Plant herbs throughout the garden and vegetable plot, as most have strongly scented leaves which help repel insects. Try intercropping."

While their rapid spread by runners and prolific growth minimizes weeds, their ample foliage is a prime target for voracious insects such as aphids, mites and thrips. Here are guidelines on how to protect your cheerful impatiens from these insect pests. Provide the Healthiest Growing Conditions Insects prefer to dine on plants that are less than perfectly healthy, so keeping your impatiens in the best soil, light and moisture conditions will circumvent insect infestations. Most species of impatiens prefer partial to dense shade, so keep them out of full sunlight to prevent moisture loss. Most Common Insect Pests Aphids Aphid attacks are the most common infestation for impatiens. The honeydew the aphids emit will be the first sign that your flowers have fallen prey to aphids. These can be controlled most effectively with natural predators such as lady beetles, lacewing bugs and syrphid flies. Another highly effective predator is the parasitic wasp, which mummifies the aphid after laying its eggs in the aphid's body. Wasps will reduce the aphid population rapidly."

"text": "Aphids are small pear-shaped insects that appear in a variety of colors, depending on the species. They are slow-moving insects that feed on plants using piercing mouth-parts that allow them to suck the juices directly from plant cells. These insects can reproduce asexually, allowing them to multiply rapidly. When hoards of aphids descend upon your plants, there are a variety of ways to eliminate them. Mild infestations can often be ignored, as long as the plant is in good health -- more severe problems can be dealt with using cultural, biological, organic or chemical means (although normally a combination is best).1Attract aphid predators such as ladybugs and lacewings for long-term aphid control. Plant yarrow, wild buckwheat, white sweet clover, tansy, sweet fennel, sweet alyssum, spearmint, Queen Anne's lace, hairy vetch, flowering buckwheat, crimson clover, cowpeas, common knotweed or caraway near susceptible plants to create an environment that is inviting for these beneficial insects.2Control ant populations that are protecting aphids from beneficial insects. Ants will fiercely defend aphids for the honeydew that they produce; this sugary substance that aphids exude while feeding is a favorite food of ants. Place ant baits along paths that ants are using to move between their hill and the aphids they are farming.3Direct a high-power stream of water at sturdy plants to dislodge aphids. Spray the undersides of leaves and plant stems thoroughly with a garden hose. This will also wash off honeydew and any fungus that may be feeding on it.4Dab a small amount of insecticidal soap on one of the leaves on a plant suffering from a high aphid load and leave the area exposed to the sun for a few days to test for phytotoxicity."

My plants are thriving, growing really really fast (especially the zucchini), but I have a serious ant infestation. I've done some googling and it seems that it's most likely that the ants are pests, but I spent some time in the garden this morning watching them.. At first, I thought, oh surely they're carrying aphids or whiteflies to my plants so they can harvest the milk, since I saw them carrying little white egg-like things while they were walking around on the ground. Then, I turned over a tomato leaf on the plant where they were swarming, and behind it there were hundreds of ants on the top of one leaf, along with lots and lots of little white things. I watched, and after about 5 minutes, the ants were gone, as were the white things. They had carried the white things away from the leaf. A week later (today), I noticed the same behavior on a bell pepper plant. They don't seem to hang out on these plants, just swarm and then leave. The zucchini plant, on the other hand, has loads of ants just hanging out, especially in and around the flowers. So, are my ants benefical, or are they pests?"

There is some commercial production of calabaza or Cuban squash (Cucurbita moschata) in South Florida, and Floridians produce a variety of tropical squashes and related cucurbits [such as pumpkin (Cucurbita spp. ), chayote (Sechium edule), banana squash (Cucurbita maxima), and gourds (Lagenaria spp. and Luffa spp.)] in home gardens, but this profile includes only summer and winter squashes (12,13,14,15,16). Cash receipts for squash produced in Florida in 1999-2000, which totaled $45.9 million, accounted for approximately 20 percent of the total U. S. cash receipts for squash production (2,8). Of Florida's vegetable crops, squash is ranked 6th in terms of harvested acres and 7th in terms of total value (4). During the 1999-2000 crop year, Florida squash growers planted 12,100 acres and harvested 11,800 acres, producing a total of 3.45 million bushels (145 million pounds)."

"text": "\"Peas are susceptible to a large number of aphid- transmitted viruses, which can produce diseases individually or in combination. Many common names have been used to describe these diseases, and to avoid confusion they will be mentioned in the discussion under each virus. The main viruses infecting pea belong to three distinct virus groups designated by virologists. Pea enation mosaic is the only member of one group, pea streak and red clover vein mosaic belong to a second group, and the final group includes bean yellow mosaic (also called pea mosaic), clover yellow vein, and pea seedborne mosaic. Pea enation mosaic virus (PEMV) is one of only a few viruses with unique properties and hence has been assigned to a separate virus group. The virus mainly infects legumes in the temperate regions of the world. In addition to pea, PEMV also infects broadbean (from which the virus was first described in New York in 1935), sweet pea, and alfalfa and probably overwinters in many common perennial legumes. The virus is spread in nature most efficiently by the pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum) and to a lesser extent by the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae). The virus is transmitted in a persistent (circulative) manner. Infected pea plants develop mosaic and chlorotic vein flecking (appears as translucent windows) and veinal enations (blisterlike outgrowths), which are very characteristic for PEMV ( fig."

"text": "\"Share Bugs and the Real Christmas Tree Purchasing a real Christmas tree may be a big decision for many people, but fears of introducing unwanted and potentially harmful pests into the home via the tree are unwarranted. Every Christmas tree can harbor insects, mites, or spiders. Some of these may remain on the tree into winter and could become active after being exposed to the warm temperatures inside the home. Although many will stay on the tree, a few may be attracted to sources of light, including windows. But, because they are associated with field-grown conifers, none of these accidental introductions are a threat to your home, its contents, or occupants. Preventing introduction of these \"\"pests\"\" into your home is the best, and easiest, plan. Mechanical tree shakers, available at some retail lots, are useful in removing some insects from the trees. Vigorously shaking the tree before bringing it into your home will serve the same purpose, and will also remove any loose needles. Bird nests, although considered decorative by some people, may contain bird parasites such as mites and lice. They should be removed by hand if not dislodged by shaking."

"text": "You work hard to keep your garden in shape, so seeing an insect infestation comes as a blow to your green thumb and steady efforts. Mealybugs, sometimes called woolly aphids, leave behind a telltale white cottony coating on the plants. They also suck sap from your plants, which can weaken and damage your garden, especially if you have a major infestation. Regain control of your garden with various methods to kill and remove the pesky bugs.credit: LDProd/i Stock/Getty Images How to Get Rid of Mealy Bugs (aka Woolly Aphids) on your Plants Keep Plants Healthy Keeping your plants healthy gives them a defense against pests like woolly aphids. If you give your plants too much water or fertilizer, you increase the nitrogen levels and soft growth. Both of those features attract the bugs, so keep your care routine in check. Follow the recommended care for each type of plant in your garden, keeping in mind that various species need different amounts of water, fertilizer and sunlight to grow strong and thrive. Use Rubbing Alcohol Rubbing alcohol is a common solution for getting rid of mealybugs. Use 70 percent isopropyl alcohol for the task. A cotton swab or cotton ball works well for getting the alcohol directly onto the bugs."

We rely on them to add beauty and interest to our homes as well as to public spaces such as office buildings, restaurants, and theaters. Unfortunately, houseplants may be troubled by insects and related pests. Sometimes houseplants are infested by pests they pick up during production. No business knowingly sells infested plants, but insects and mites and their eggs are so small they often go unnoticed. Houseplants often become infested when they’re set outdoors in summer. Even if plants remain indoors, they may be attacked by tiny pests that move through screens or open windows. Regardless of how these pests find your houseplants, they’re usually manageable, often by nonchemical means - if you’re alert to signs of trouble and take steps to control the pests in a timely fashion. Prevention and detection Prevention is the first line of defense. Check houseplants before you buy them, then isolate them from others for two or three weeks to allow undetected problems to become obvious."

Weakened plants can fail to bloom or yield fruit, lose leaves, and eventually die. The original cause of these problems often comes from the infestation of the tomato plant by aphids or spider mites. These insects literally suck the sap from the plant, causing malnutrition and a weakened state. Ladybugs are nature's way of preventing this occurrence. Natural Function Ladybugs are predator insects. These bugs feed on various other insects found on or near tomato plants, including aphids, spider mites and ants. Since both mites and aphids reproduce quickly to establish large colonies, ladybugs have become the natural balance to keep these insects from overpopulating an area. Benefits Having beneficial predator insects such as ladybugs and lacewing moths helps reduce and eventually eliminate aphid or spider mite colonies. A side benefit is the reduction or relocation of ant colonies nearby because ants use aphids in the production of honeydew."

Growing your own vegetables also is a great way to teach kids about the wonders of nature and where their food comes from. A variety of insect pests--such as aphids, white flies, spider mites and scale--might attack your plants. Control insects by natural methods to ensure a good harvest. Identify the insect. Aphids are often green and small—no longer than 1/8 inch. Scale look like small armored tanks—when they’re mature they stay in the same place on your plant. If you spot ants, that’s a sure sign your plants have aphids or scale because the ants “farm” them for a sticky substance they secrete. White flies are readily noticeable because they swarm the plant and cover the undersides of the leaves. Their presence can introduce fungal diseases such as powdery mildew."

DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (canker sores, or aphthous ulcers) is the presence of small, painful sores (ulcers) inside the mouth that typically begin in childhood and recur frequently. Mouth injury, stress, and some foods may trigger an attack. People feel burning pain, and a day or so later a canker sore develops on the soft tissue of the mouth. Doctors or dentists make the diagnosis based on the pain and the appearance of the canker sores. Treatment is with mouth rinses and sometimes corticosteroids. Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is very common. The cause is unknown, but the disorder tends to run in families. RAS usually begins in childhood, and 80% of people with RAS are < 30 years old. People who have RAS get canker sores repeatedly."

"text": "Dermatology Times Clinical Pharmacology Alison Bruce MDUnderlying etiologies of oral ulcers require attention January 31, 2013 By John Jesitus Rochester, Minn. — When managing complex oral ulcers, an expert says, taking a systematic approach helps guide treatment of the ulcers and any conditions that contribute to them. Although some patients complain that they have canker sores all over the mouth, they usually don’t, says Alison Bruce, M. D., associate professor of dermatology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. “Aphthous ulcers tend to occur on soft, non-keratinized mucosal surfaces — typically the underside of the tongue, inside the lips and inside the cheeks, but usually not the dorsum of the tongue or the hard palate,” she says. In terms of appearance, aphthous ulcer classifications include minor, major and herpetiform. Minor aphthous ulcers heal within seven to 10 days, she says, while major ones, which can possess a necrotic appearance, take much longer due to their size. While still remaining on soft mucosal surfaces, she adds, “Often these larger aphthous ulcers tend to occur more posteriorly, such as on the soft palate. ”Herpetiform aphthous ulcers appear in clusters, but have nothing to do with the herpes virus, she says. Ulcers associated with herpes virus infection have a punched-out appearance and tend to occur on well-keratinized surfaces such as the gums, the dorsum of the tongue and especially the lips, she explains. “The other way that aphthous ulcers are classified is by their behavior — is it simple or complex aphthosis (Rogers RS 3rd.

Whereas the 2 conditions occur on or in the mouth and patients often confuse them, their causes are very different. These common lesions may not be dangerous, but they are painful and unsightly, so pharmacists are likely to field plenty of questions from patients desperate for treatment. Cold Sores Brad Rodd, DDS, professor at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, estimates that 20% to 30% of people suffer from recurring cold sores (or fever blisters), which are caused by the herpes simplex type 1 virus. Like its cousin the herpes simplex type 2 virus, which causes genital lesions, the virus that causes cold sores is contagious. \"\" Most people come into contact with the virus when they are children,\"\" Dr. Rodd said. \"\" In some cases, the virus sets up shop in a nerve ganglion in the body. While it doesn't affect the nerve, it can exist in the nerve forever and can erupt to the surface from time to time when a patient has a cold or fever, is experiencing stress, is exposed to the sun, or when there's trauma or stress to the area, such as a patient might experience on a visit to the dentist. \"\""

Canker sores are white or yellow and surrounded by a bright red area. They are benign (not cancer). Canker sores can run in families. They may also be linked to problems with the body's immune (defense) system. The sores may occur after a mouth injury due to dental work, aggressive tooth cleaning, or biting the tongue or cheek. Canker sores can be triggered by emotional stress, dietary deficiencies (especially iron, folic acid, or vitamin B-12), menstrual periods, hormonal changes, food allergies, and similar situations. They occur most commonly with viral infections."

Tresca Updated April 06, 2018Share Pin Email Print Ulcers in the mouth can be truly distressing, but the good news is that they will resolve when the IBD is under control. Image © Stock Shop Photography LLC / E+ / Getty Some people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may experience various extra-intestinal symptoms along with the symptoms in their gastrointestinal tract. These can include skin irritation, eye problems, and joint pains, among other. One of these extra-intestinal conditions is aphthous stomatitis, or ulcers in the mouth. For some with IBD, mouth ulcers might be one of the first signs that the IBD may be flaring up again. Canker sores, or aphthous ulcers, are the lesions caused by aphthous stomatitis. They may seem like a fairly benign, limited condition, but in the presence of so many other problems that occur with IBD they can be upsetting and painful. Fortunately they are usually harmless and treatment is aimed at reducing discomfort. Aphthous stomatitis is not believed to be contagious and cannot be spread to other people. There are many things that can be done to make mouth ulcers less painful."

Canker sores (aphthous ulcers) can also cause tenderness and swelling in the lymph nodes, and this can cause referred ear pain as well. I can't examine your ear to be sure, but I suspect your ear is just feeling the pain originating in your mouth.9 years agoinboston responded: Thank you very much for the medical reply to the person with the canker sore on tongue. I have similar situation, with partially blocked ears and ear ringing. My (new) follow-up question is to what extent there is any risk if I continue to \"\"ride out\"\" the inflamed canker sore (which I assume is due to its location on side of tongue, along my teeth)?

"text": "How Vitamin B12 deficiency causes Canker Sore1 Reply What are canker sores? Canker sore Canker sore also known scientifically as aphthous ulcer, is a common type of ulcer found in the mouth, gums, sometimes the upper throat region. It usually involves the breaking down of mucosal surface, which is the inner lining of the mouth, and this exposes the underlying tissue, leading to immense pain especially with contact or movement. What are the oral signs and symptoms of canker sores Depending on the size of the ulcers, they can be categorized under minor or major aphthous ulcers. Minor ulcers are anything less than 1cm in diameter while major ulcers extend beyond 1cm in diameter and can be extremely painful. They both usually have a yellow or whitish base where the tissue is exposed and a fiery red border is found around the ulcer. Minor ulcers usually only takes a few days up to a week to heal and major ulcers take much longer, sometimes up to two weeks. Minor ulcers can coalesce to form one big ulcer in which healing will again be delayed. Multiple small ulcers found in a cluster are usually herpetic form of ulcerations with a viral origin. Who does it usually affect?"

Fever blisters are caused by the herpes virus, and are most effectively treated by acyclovir, denovir or penciclovir. The discussion here will concern the cause and treatment of Apthous ulcers, which is much more controversial.

The two main forms of stomatitis are herpes stomatitis, also known as a cold sore, and aphthous stomatitis, also known as a canker sore. Keep reading to learn more about these two forms of stomatitis. Causes What causes stomatitis? An infection of the herpes simplex 1 (HSV-1) virus causes herpes stomatitis. It is more common in young children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. People exposed to HSV-1 may develop cold sores later in life as a result of the virus. HSV-1 is related to HSV-2, the virus that causes genital herpes, but it isn’t the same virus. Aphthous stomatitis can be one or a cluster of small pits or ulcers in the cheeks, gums, the inside of the lips, or on the tongue."

Liver detoxification programs can take on many different forms, each of which may be associated with certain cautions. Detox diets, liver cleanses or liver flushes are often advocated as ways to purge the liver of toxins – with some regimens even claiming to help expel gallstones. Before beginning some type of liver detox, make sure you know what symptoms might arise, what to look out for and what could pose a serious health threat. There is more than one way to do a liver detox. As such, it is easy for innovators to call an effective, ineffective or potentially hazardous regimen a valid detox plan.5 Common Liver Cleanses Master Cleanse – Also referred to as the lemonade diet, participants are instructed to fast for 10 days while only consuming a lemonade concoction made with lemon juice, water, maple syrup and cayenne. Laxatives are taken before bed and salt water is consumed in the morning to encourage defecation. CAUTIONS: This is a type of starvation diet. Unfortunately, going into starvation mode slows down metabolism. The daily laxative regimen can cause dehydration, deplete electrolytes, and impair normal bowel function."

"text": "\"Constipation - Part 2 ( Originally Published 1940 )Treatment When constipation occurs only occasionally-let us say once every few weeks or so—the best thing to do is not to molest the bowel. The normal bowel rhythm will almost in-variably reestablish itself in a day or two without the aid of laxatives. If it will make you feel easier, however, a mild laxative such as one to two tablespoonfuls of milk of magnesia, one or two Seidlitz powders, or a heaping tablespoonful of effervescent sodium phosphate may be taken. An enema is the most rational and effective remedy, but which-ever is more convenient or agreeable may be tried. If neither laxative nor enema is taken, no harm will follow. If the constipation is more frequent or if it is severe and of long standing it is advisable to consult a competent physician before treatment is started. This is especially urgent for adults who previously were never troubled by constipation. Too often a change in bowel function means a serious organic disease of the digestive tract, colon or rectum. If a thorough examination reveals no organic disease, the constipation can be considered to be due to functional factors and treatment can be started. In habitual constipation of the functional variety, particularly in those instances that are mild, attention to a few rules of hygiene may be all that is necessary."

Anyone who has been there knows what I am talking about! Oh, the agony! With my oldest I rarely encountered this particular parenting challenge, but when my twins came around, boy, did I have a lot to learn. I am not a doctor, but as a mom I can say that there has to be a genetic component at play here — it was not that I was doing anything different or “wrong” with these two! Some little bodies just process food differently, and I found as a parent it was my job to notice and tweak what I could to help minimize the difficulties. In my experience — and with many with other parents I’ve met – the constipation woes started right around the time our babies started solids. Not surprisingly, this is quite common! Solid foods can be a big challenge to the system — those immature guts are still learning how things work, how to digest and move things along, and the foods many of us assume we should serve our new eaters are not always the best in terms of keeping things moving. The same challenges may continue or be revisited as they grow into picky toddlers, who often form strong food preferences and don’t always eat in a predictable pattern."

From infants to the elderly, irregular bowel movements interfere with health and vitality. The symptoms of constipation are obvious and include infrequent bowel movements, hard stools, and difficulty passing stools. The side effects of constipation commonly include abdominal discomfort, bloating, gas, bad breath, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. It’s no wonder laxative sales are big business. Conventional stimulant laxatives force your digestive tract into overdrive—which deprives your body of nutrients as food is rushed along. Massive quantities of gelatinous fiber drinks, swallowed in an attempt to prevent constipation, can cause problems of their own with spasms, bloating and irritation of the gut lining. Consider the gentler, easier methods offered at Dr Deborah MD to help your digestive tract perform both naturally and optimally. What Is Known About Constipation It makes perfect sense that the primary causes and cures for constipation are related to diet. A diet that relies heavily on processed foods lacks fiber, and a certain amount of fiber is considered essential for regular, effortless elimination."

Making sure you eat enough fibre in your diet can reduce the risk of constipation. Dietary fibre is the edible parts of plants or other carbohydrates that cannot be digested. Fibre is in all plant foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds and legumes. Is all fibre the same? No, some fibres are soluble in water and others are insoluble. Soluble fibre slows digestion and helps you absorb nutrients from food. Insoluble fibre adds bulk to your stools, helping them pass more quickly through the intestines.

Constipation is one of the most common ailments affecting millions of people worldwide. Marked by less than three bowel movements a week, chronic constipation can end up causing a number of different health problems if it is not treated on time. Since most people find constipation to be a recurring disease, it is better to treat it with natural remedies rather than allopathic medicines. And when it comes to natural remedies for constipation, then prune juice is definitely up there on the top. When your digestive system is working perfectly, nutrients are absorbed into the human body while waste is moved out of the body through the intestine or colon with the help of muscle contractions. Constipation occurs when the intestines absorb too much water or when the intake is already too dry due to lack of water in the diet. This disrupts the natural waste removal process as the intestine finds it hard to move dry waste effectively, thus resulting in constipation. The most common causes of constipation are a lack of adequate fiber in the diet or a less than appropriate consumption of fluids or water. It has been proven through a number of high profile research projects that prune juice laxatives aid in relieving constipation through a number of different actions."

By far the most common ailment of the digestive tract is constipation, said to be a disease of modern civilization caused by sedentary occupations, by nervous strain and stress, by over-refinement of food and by wrong dietary and hygienic habits. In reality, it is only a symptom due to a variety of causes, including those mentioned, as well as predisposing gastric disorders, particularly of a motor type. The chief cause, however, is a faulty diet. In planning a diet for this condition, the type of constipation must be known. Two kinds are generally recognized: acute and chronic. Acute Constipation A strictly acute condition is not so common as was formerly supposed. Some degree of spasticity is usually present. This type of inactivity may be the result of a previous illness or chronic invalidism, an operation, pregnancy, obesity, or possibly of a specific dietary lack, particularly that of thiamine, any one of which may cause the muscular wall of the bowel to lose it tone. Irregular meals, insufficient water and unpleasant mental factors are likely to result in constipation."

Detoxification of the body involves removal of toxins from the body to avoid health problems caused by accumulation of toxins over a period of time. Although the body has a natural healing system to remove toxins, the adoption of natural home remedies for Detoxification helps enhance the natural process. It promotes the elimination of toxins, nourishes the body, and improves immunity and overall health. The process primarily involves dietary and lifestyle changes. Detoxification therapy, however, is usually not recommended for infants, nursing mothers and individuals suffering from chronic degenerative diseases like cancer, cerebral diseases, active pulmonary diseases, thyroid disorder, diabetes, anemia etc. Need for Detoxification Need for detoxification arises because of build up of chemical and biochemical toxins in the body due to unhealthy diet consisting of chemically enhanced foods, alcohol, caffeine, environmental pollution, prolonged consumption of water laden with heavy metals and poor digestion. Signs like lack of energy, lethargy, inability to concentrate, general muscle and joint pain, frequent colds, sore throat, impaired immune function, weight problems, insomnia, irritability, increased skin problems such as Eczema may also indicate a need for detoxification and neutralization of potentially harmful chemicals from various organs of the body like liver, gall bladder, colon, kidney, skin etc. Moreover, therapies like drug detoxification and alcohol detoxification can help reduce dependency on such addictive substances. However, when following the process of Detoxification, you may experience symptoms like bad breath, body odor, nausea, runny nose, sluggishness, headache, skin rashes, change in bowel movements etc."

Considerations Apple juice isn’t effective against constipation simply because it contains sorbitol. As a liquid, it facilitates the movement of material through your intestinal tract and helps generate soft, bulky stools easier to pass. This helps explain why people who drink plenty of fluids are less likely to become constipated to begin with. Stronger Options An 8-ounce glass of apple juice contains just over 1 gram of sorbitol, according to the Baylor College of Medicine. Peach juice provides almost twice that amount, while pear juice supplies four times as much. Ounce for ounce, prune juice is about 25 times higher in sorbitol than apple juice."

"text": "Apple, Beet and Carrot Juice Liver Tonicby Helen Sanders Juicing A healthy liver is a vitally important element of good health, yet most of us seldom pay it much attention unless we are forced to. With an estimated 30 million Americans affected by liver disease this is a serious and growing health problem. While this apple, beet and carrot juice recipe can’t make up for a diet full of fast food and excessive alcohol, it is a recognized liver tonic and rejuvenator that may help to ease the burden on your body’s master cleansing organ and improve the way you look and feel. For many people, their poor overworked liver puts a lot of effort into filtering and detoxifying all the dietary and environmental pollutants that get sent to it each day. Once the level of these toxins starts to get too high for the liver to deal with on its own, it will recruit your skin into trying to get rid of the excess, often leading to skin problems and dark circles under the eyes. Regular headaches and a general tiredness and lethargy can also be symptoms of a liver under strain. Making up and drinking a blend of carrot, beet and apple juice fresh is a simple and effective way to help cleanse your liver and increase the rate that you process toxins out of your body. The Magic of Fresh Juice Quite unlike heat-treated and sugary commercial juice, fresh fruit and vegetable juices are full of powerful enzymes, antioxidants and other nutrients that you can feel within minutes of having them. In fact, drinking freshly extracted juice has been compared to having an energy transfusion from the plants involved into your body’s cells. Since there is so little digestion required, this is one of the quickest ways to deliver nutrients to important organs like your liver."

Here's a list of some of the best foods you can eat if you're dreaming of flawless skin that is free of pimples and acne scars:#1: Blueberries Blueberries are one of the greatest health foods of all time, and they can be an excellent remedy for acne vulgaris. In a laboratory test conducted by USDA researchers, wild blueberries were shown to have the highest Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) rating of more than 20 fruits and berries. ORAC is a measure of antioxidant capacity of foods. The antioxidant properties of wild blueberries were shown to be even stronger than those of cranberries, raspberries, strawberries, plums, or cultivated blueberries. In addition to their unrivalled antioxidant powers, blueberries are a good source of pectin which helps clear intestinal toxins that may contribute to acne flare-ups. Furthermore, compared to other berries, blueberries (especially wild blueberries) are a good source of vitamin E.#2: Sweet Potatoes Sweet potatoes are one of the oldest vegetables known to man.

Whatever the excuse — maybe you don’t like the texture or the taste — you’re plain and simple not getting all an apple has to offer by peeling it first. Here are some very powerful reasons to never remove the skin again. The skin packs most of the fiber. A medium apple with the skin contains 4.4 grams of fiber. Without the skin, you’re only getting 2.1 grams, not even enough to qualify it as a “good source of fiber” (the cutoff is 3 grams). The skin also packs most of the vitamins. That same medium apple with skin packs 8.4 milligrams of vitamin C and 98 international units (IU) of vitamin A. Ditch the skin and that falls to 6.4 milligrams of vitamin C and 61 IU of vitamin A. Apples can ease breathing problems — but only if you eat the skin."

"text": "\"Holistic Health12 Apple Cider Vinegar Benefits You Should Know About By Cathy Wong, ND | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated March 03, 2018Share Pin Email Printbhofack2/Getty Images Apple cider vinegar is a liquid produced during the fermentation of apple cider. During this process, the sugar in apples is fermented by yeast and/or bacteria into cider, then into alcohol and, finally, into vinegar. Like other types of vinegar, the key component in apple cider vinegar is acetic acid. Apple cider vinegar also contains other substances such as lactic, citric, and malic acids and bacteria. Proponents claim that apple cider vinegar (and vinegar in general) may boost your health in the following ways:1) Help Control Blood Sugar and Prevent Diabetes Acetic acid in vinegar appears to block enzymes that help you digest starch, resulting in a smaller blood sugar response after starchy meals such as pasta or bread. In a report published in 2017, researchers reviewed previously published clinical trials on the effects of vinegar intake with a meal and found that vinegar helped to decrease fluctuations in blood sugar and insulin after the meal. To incorporate apple cider vinegar in your meals, try adding a splash to salads, marinades, vinaigrettes, and sauces. If you have diabetes or prediabetes, be sure to consult your doctor if you’re considering using amounts larger those normally found in cooking. Vinegar can interact with diabetes medication, and it shouldn't be used by people with certain health conditions, like gastroparesis.2) Aid in Weight Loss Proponents claim that consuming vinegar before or with a meal may have a satiating effect. A Japanese study examined the effects of daily vinegar intake on body fat in adults who were obese."

Pectin is a carbohydrate found in apple skins, from which apple powder is made. Scientific studies show that apple powder may have health benefits. However, the advice of a medical professional should be sought before trying to prevent, treat or cure any condition with apple pectin. Health Benefits Apple powder may help to protect against colon cancer. A study published in April 2008 in “Nutrition” found that apple pectin led to the formation of butyrate by the intestinal flora. Butyrate is important because it triggers apoptosis, or the death of cancerous cells, within the colon. Inflammatory bowel disease refers to a group of disorders of the colon and small intestines including Crohn’s disease. Some of the symptoms of irritable bowel disease are diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Apple powder may help to protect against inflammatory bowel disease."

Along with all of the nutritional benefits, apples are also excellent sources of carbohydrates. While they have very little starch, apples provide natural sugar for the energy your body needs, as well as soluble and insoluble fiber for gastrointestinal and cardiovascular health. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Total Carbohydrates The recommended dietary allowance for total carbohydrates -- 130 grams daily -- includes sugars and starches, which provide the primary source of fuel for your body. The Institute of Medicine established this requirement based on the minimum amount of glucose needed to fuel your brain because it’s the only carbohydrate-dependent organ in your body, according to the USDA National Agricultural Library. One medium-sized apple with the skin contains 25 grams of total carbohydrates, or 19 percent of your RDA. If you don’t eat the skin, you'll get 21 grams of total carbs. Soluble and Insoluble Fiber Some types of fiber, including the pectin in apples, ferment in your intestines and produce a small amount of energy, but most fiber passes through your body undigested. The soluble fiber in apples lowers levels of cholesterol in your blood. It’s also good for weight management because it absorbs water and makes you feel full."

Apples are delicious, easy to carry for snacking, low in calories, a natural mouth freshener, and they are still very inexpensive. Apples are a source of both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber such as pectin actually helps to prevent cholesterol buildup in the lining of blood vessel walls, thus reducing the incident of atherosclerosis and heart disease. The insoluble fiber in apples provides bulk in the intestinal tract, holding water to cleanse and move food quickly through the digestive system. It is a good idea to eat apples with their skin. Almost half of the vitamin C content is just underneath the skin. Eating the skin also increases insoluble fiber content. Most of an apple's fragrance cells are also concentrated in the skin and as they ripen, the skin cells develop more aroma and flavor."

Yeast infections are commonly caused when an overgrowth of a fungus called Candida albicans affects the vagina, mouth, or skin. This yeast infection can cause burning, irritation, redness, swelling and a thick white discharge. Apple cider vinegar is just one of the many natural ways to destroy the yeast infection, which is also sometimes called candidiasis. There are various reasons why you may suffer from a yeast infection in your genitals, mouth, or on your skin. For example, a course of antibiotics could upset the balance of healthy bacteria in your body, resulting in a yeast overgrowth. Or, having a weakened immune system, wounds on your skin, or hormonal changes can all cause yeast infections. Advertisement The effectiveness of apple cider vinegar for yeast infections is due to its acidic content. Apple cider vinegar lowers the p H levels of a candidiasis thus inhibiting the fungus overgrowth. Apple cider vinegar also helps to soothe itching, burning sensation, and other symptoms of a yeast infection."

They eat food of both plant and animal origin. While Yorkies don't need to eat fruits -- they get the same nutrients found in fruit from other sources -- adding fruits to the dog's diet won't hurt. Fruit provides water, energy, fiber, vitamins, enzymes, minerals and antioxidants. Apples & Pears Apples and pears provide ample water as well as soluble-fiber pectin, which is good for your Yorkie's digestion. Pieces of unpeeled apple provide non-provitamin A carotenes, beta carotene and Vitamin C, as well as B complex vitamins B6, folic acid and potassium. Pears contain potassium -- excellent for maintaining good heart health and carbohydrate metabolism -- and vitamin C, which helps to prevent free radical damage. Always remove seeds.

"text": "As one of the AKC’s top 10 breeds year after year, Yorkshire Terriers are popular toy dogs, offering a big personality in a tiny package. Here are seven surprising facts about Yorkies and the people who love them:1. Yorkies Are the “Tomboy Toy”Don’t be fooled by this toy breed’s tiny stature—they are five to seven pounds of pure tomboy. This spunky personality has earned the Yorkie its nickname, “the tomboy toy.” The breed standard references the breed’s trademark confidence and courage, saying, “The dog’s high head carriage and confident manner should give the appearance of vigor and self-importance.” Because of these traits, Yorkshire Terriers do well at everything from dog sports, like agility, to therapy work and makes them great travel companions as well as family dogs.2. The Yorkie’s Coat Has a Similar Texture to Human Hair Yorkies are known for their long, flowing, silky coats, which swish around the show ring. But this beautiful feature is also incredibly time-consuming to care for. Because the coat is similar to human hair, it tangles into knots if the owner doesn’t brush it every day (it can also break easily when brushing against carpets in the home). The bonus is that Yorkies don’t have an undercoat so their coat doesn’t shed anymore than your hair does."

Hello, My wife and I are thinking of getting a Yorkie poo. The mom is about 6 pound Yorkie and the dad is 4 pound toy poodle. My question is when the dog is fully grown, will it be able to hold its pee for 9 hours. My wife and I work 9-5 plus driving time equals about 9 hours. I will be able to take the dog sometimes to my office but maybe only 1-2 times a week. I will be coming home on my lunch break for an hour and taking the dog out and playing with it, but eventually i want to get away from this when the dog is older, this is only temporarily while the dog is a pup. Does the size or weight of an adult dog determine how long a dog can holds it pee? is their a difference between a 5 and 10 pound dog on how long they can hold it?"

Many owners are concerned that their dog is either too small or too large in comparison to others…And this leads them to be concerned about possible health issues…Or even if breeding was done properly. At the heart of this issue is the expression “toy” or “mini”. This is due partly because there are breeders who purposefully bred down this dog to create Yorkshire Terriers that are smaller than the standard. The other element is a standard Yorkie that falls under or over the expected weight and/or size range. Expected Size Weight: Breed standards have changed. The AKC previously listed a minimum weight of 4 pounds (1.81 kg). Now there is only a maximum weight of 7 pounds (3.17 kg) for a full grown, adult Yorkie. Even with this change on paper, most Yorkshire Terriers fit into the 4 to 7 lb. ( 1.81 kg to 3.17 kg) range."

The initial cost of purchasing a well-bred quality puppy may appear somewhat expensive; however there are several factors that should be taken into consideration when buying your puppy who will become part of you and your family for approximately the next 15 years or so. Please see chart at bottom of page."

"text": "\"Yorkies have a distinctive appearance when compared to other small dog breeds. If you have been shopping for a Yorkshire terrier, also called a Yorkie, then you may have seen the terms \"\"toy\"\" and \"\"teacup\"\" used to describe the size that puppies will mature to. It is important that you know what you are looking for specifically when you go shopping for a Yorkie puppy because some of the terminology used to describe these dogs can be misleading or inaccurate. The Breed Standard According to the American Kennel Club, there is no such thing as a registered teacup or toy Yorkshire terrier. The breed standard calls for dogs who weigh between 4 and 7 pounds as mature adults. Dogs who fall outside of the standard generally are not considered to be properly bred, and should not be considered desirable by individuals who are shopping for a Yorkie puppy. Toy Yorkshire terriers are considered a toy breed. All Yorkies are technically toy breed dogs, so the term toy does not have any special meaning. All registered Yorkies are small enough to fall under the Toy Breed Group classification by the AKC and you should not pay extra for a Yorkie who is being advertised as a toy-size dog. Teacup Teacup is a buzzword used by less-than-scrupulous breeders to try and attract buyers' attention."

Fructose malabsorption is a common symptom of irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, and it's also possible to have fructose intolerance on its own. Avoiding fresh fruits, and the high-fructose corn syrup used as a sweetener in many processed foods, can help minimize the bloating, diarrhea and gas that come with a fructose intolerance. Fresh Fruits If you are sensitive to fructose, you don't have to eliminate all fruits, but only fruits that contain more than half of their natural sugars as fructose. The high-fructose fruits you should avoid include apples, cherries, mangoes, watermelon and pears. You can safely have moderate amounts of low-fructose fruits, such as honeydew melon, cantaloupe, bananas, blueberries, strawberries and oranges, if they are well spaced throughout the day. Other Fruits Most people with fructose malabsorption can tolerate small amounts of fresh low-fructose fruits, but other forms can trigger your gastrointestinal symptoms by overwhelming your intestinal fructose receptors. People with fructose malabsorption have either less of these receptors or these receptors are not working well enough to facilitate optimal fructose absorption. This is why small amounts of fructose spaced throughout the day may be tolerated, but too much at once could result in symptoms."

"text": "Food rich in fructose includes many types of sweetened beverages and snacks, fruit, especially when in concentrated form such as juices or dried, and honey (see table below). Chains of fructose molecules, fructo-oligosaccharides or fructans, are present in high concentrations in some vegetables and cereal products and often lead to symptoms in individuals with fructose intolerance. Many healthy foods contain fructose or fructans and it is important to maintain a healthy diet despite the reduction in fructose necessary to control symptoms. To achieve this, expert assistance from a dietician knowledgeable in fructose intolerance is advised. Vitamin supplements are often useful. In the case of a hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), exclusion of sucrose (which when digested produces fructose and glucose) as well as fructose is required. The sweetener, tagatose, is metabolized to fructose and is found in beverages (soft drinks, instant drink preparations, teas, fruit or vegetable juices / drinks), breakfast cereals and cereal bars, confectionery and chewing gum, fondants and fillings, jams and marmalades, and diet foods. Levulose and invert sugar on food labels signifies fructose content. Fructose is better tolerated in the presence of glucose. This means food containing at least as much glucose at fructose is often well tolerated (in the tables this is the F/G value, which should be smaller than 1)."

In its pure form, fructose has been used as a sweetener since the mid 1850s and has advantages for certain groups, including people with diabetes and those trying to control their weight. Of course, fructose has been consumed for centuries in foods we still eat. It is known as a simple sugar because it is a single sweetening molecule. Fructose is also known as a monosaccharide. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is also a sweetener and is used to sweeten foods and beverages. However, HFCS is not the same as fructose. HFCS is a mixture of fructose and glucose, made by an enzymatic process from glucose syrup from corn. The most common forms are HFCS-42 and HFCS-55, which contain 42% fructose (and 58% glucose) or 55% (and 45% glucose). Table sugar (sucrose) has 50% fructose (and 50% glucose) and so is very similar to HFCS."

November 16 2017Fructose is a sugar found widely in the diet as a free monosaccharide hexose, as the disaccharide, sucrose and in a polymerized form (fructans) as a component of plant oligosaccharides. Because fructose is considerably sweeter than sucrose or glucose, it is used to enhance the flavor, color stability, and freezing point depression of many foods and beverages. Fructose is also used in place of sucrose and other carbohydrates in dietetic products. Fructose is a simple sugar found in honey, fruit, table sugar (sucrose), and high-fructose corn syrup. Because of the worldwide increase in the consumption of these sweeteners, fructose intake has increase dramatically since the early 1900s. The past several decades have witnessed an even greater acceleration in consumption, in part because of the introduction of high-fructose corn syrup; this phenomenon is associated with the rise in obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Studies in animals have shown that fructose can induce most features of the metabolic syndrome, including insulin resistance, elevated triglycerides, abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressure, inflammation, oxidative stress, endothelial dysfunction, kidney injury, and fatty liver.

"text": "What Fruits Can A Diabetic Eat? Published on: January 26th, 2008Article by: Anthony Wilson Filed under: Blood Glucose, Diabetes Fighters, Fibre, Food & Drink, Insulin, Sugar Diabetics often ask whether it is safe for them to eat large quantities of fruit. Many diabetic patients avoid eating fruit because they are worried that the high sugar content found in most fruits will worsen their condition. Fortunately, there are many fruits a diabetic can enjoy which do not significantly affect blood glucose levels, in fact certain fruits may actually improve glucose control and insulin sensitivity over time. Good Fruits For Diabetics Fiber rich foods are generally safe for diabetics to eat because they tend to have a lower glycemic index (GI) and therefore do not spike blood sugar levels to the same extent as high GI foods. This is because fiber delays the emptying of stomach contents into the small intestine which slows down the absorption of sugar into the blood stream. Fiber rich fruits tend to be fruits with edible skins and seeds as it is these parts of the fruit that are highest in fiber. Fruits high in fiber include (fiber content in brackets): passion fruit (10.4%), raspberries (6.5%), apples (2.5%), pears (2.1%), apricots (2.1%), blueberries (2.7%), kiwifruit (2.1%), strawberries (2.0%), pomegranates (3.4%), and avocados (6.7%). The avocado is not only high in fiber, but is also a rich source of monounsaturated fat. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends a diet high in monounsaturated fat as it can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease which is more common in diabetics than the general population."

Sweeteners are the other major source of fructose in your diet. Sucrose is half glucose and half fructose, and high-fructose corn syrup also contains approximately equal proportions of glucose and fructose. Fructose, like glucose, provides 4 calories of energy per gram. Excess calories in the form of sweeteners may promote weight gain and raise your blood lipid levels. Fruits and Juices Whole fruits and their natural fruit juices contain similar amounts of fructose. For example, a 1-cup, 151-gram serving of red or green grapes contains 12 grams of fructose, and a similar amount of grape juice contains about 11 grams of fructose. A 1-cup, 125-gram serving of whole apple contains 7.4 grams of fructose, and a similar portion of unsweetened apple juice contains 7.2 grams of fructose.

We hear it all the time that we need to eat less sugar. But with the current state of the food label it can be very confusing and hard to identify how much sugar we are actually eating. Obesity rates are on the rise and sugar sweetened beverages have undoubtedly taken the heat, but that’s only the short story. Leading researchers are finding that added sugars such as high fructose corn syrup might be the causing the liver to work overtime leading to a myriad of issues from metabolic syndrome to fatty liver disease. With all this talk about lowering sugar intake, the World Health Organization (WHO} is now slashing their sugar recommendations in half, from less than 10% of total calories coming from “free sugars” to 5% for additional health benefits. According to the WHO, “free sugars refer to all monosaccharides and disaccharides added to foods by the manufacturer, cook or consumer, plus sugars naturally present in honey, syrup, and fruit juices.” However, the majority of your sugar intake should be derived from natural sources. Keep in mind the amount of natural sugar each person requires is highly individualized so it’s not a one size fits all as it depends on one’s activity level, medical history, and other factors. There is currently no formal recommendation or upper limit for natural sugars in the diet."

Sorry. Don’t kill the messenger. It’s easy to understand how agave syrup got its great reputation. Even the word “Agave” has a fine pedigree, coming from the Greek word for noble. The blue agave species- considered the best for the making agave nectar — flourishes in rich volcanic soil. ( It’s also the only variety permitted to be used for the making of tequila.) And extracts from the agave plant have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Unfortunately there’s zero evidence that any of those compounds are present in the commercially made syrup. Agave nectar is an amber-colored liquid that pours more easily than honey and is considerably sweeter than sugar."

"text": "\"Fructose May Cause Digestive Problems Common Sweetener Behind 'Unexplained' Pain, Flatulence, Other Symptoms By Sid Kirchheimer From the Web MD Archives July 14, 2003 -- A sugar that's naturally found in many fruits and is the main ingredient in a commonly used sweetener may be responsible for \"\"unexplained\"\" flatulence, bloating, pain, and other gastrointestinal symptoms in many people. A new study, published in the June issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology, suggests that fructose intolerance is a common yet underrecognized cause of digestive problems in some people. And the more fructose they consume, say researchers, the more likely they are to have problems. An Abundant Sweetener Fructose is a sugar abundant in honey and fruits such as apples, peaches, pears, and oranges. It's also the main ingredient in high-fructose corn syrup used in hundreds of juices, sodas, condiments, snacks, and other foods. The problems occur because in many people fructose is not easily absorbed by the body. Fructose is usually absorbed in the small intestine, but for those with fructose intolerance, some travels to the colon, where bacteria ferment the fructose. This causes the release of hydrogen and methane gases, which cause pain, bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea. Continue Reading Belowyou might like Table sugar does not cause this reaction because it also contains glucose, which aids in the absorption process. In their two-year study, researchers at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine studied 183 patients with unexplained digestive symptoms including flatulence, abdominal pain, belching, and altered bowel habits."

There are other artificial sweeteners not specifically addressed here, but as far as I know there are no convincing health concerns about any of them, just this same kind of hype and fearmongering based on animal studies and speculation with no validation from human clinical studies. Aspartame is a low calorie sugar substitute marketed under brand names like Equal and Nutrasweet. It is a combination of two amino acids: L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. It is available as individual packets for adding to foods and it is a component of many diet soft drinks and other reduced-calorie foods. Depending on who you listen to, it is either a safe aid to weight loss and diabetes control or it is evil incarnate, a deadly poison that is devastating the health of consumers. A reader sent me an ad from his local newspaper that recommended using stevia instead of aspartame and made these startling claims about aspartame: It is derived from the excrement of genetically modified E. coli bacteria Upon ingestion, it breaks down into aspartic acid, phenylalanine, methanol, formaldehyde, and formic acid. It accounts for over 75% of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA each year including seizures, migraines, dizzinesss, nausea, muscle spasms, weight gain, depression, fatigue, irritability, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety, tinnitus, schizophrenia and death.

It provides sweetness to these foods, but fructose content can vary widely. Vegetables typically contain smaller amounts of fructose than fruits. When consumed in the form of fruits and vegetables, fructose is absorbed into your body more slowly because of dietary fiber. Understanding which fruits and vegetables are high in natural fructose can help you make choices that could avoid digestive discomfort, especially if you're fructose-intolerant. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Very-High-Fructose Sources Very-high-fructose fruits and vegetables contain the highest fructose content -- greater than 5 percent. These foods include blueberries, lychees, tomato concentrate products, canned berries and plums in syrup, all dried fruits, grapes, persimmons, pickled onions, pomegranates, apples, pears and quinces. When a body lacks the protein needed to breakdown fructose, fructose-intolerance disorder occurs. Symptoms may include excessive sleepiness, irritability, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eye, and discomfort after eating fruits or foods that contain fructose and sucrose. If you're fructose-intolerant or think you may be fructose-intolerant, talk with your doctor before adding these foods to your diet."

"text": "When you purchase new appliances, you can receive tax incentives and other benefits if those appliances meet certain conditions. The incentives available to you underwent significant change in 2009 and further changes are expected to occur in the future as Congress tries to balance the growing budget deficit with the need to stimulate the economy and promote energy efficiency. Therefore, keeping track of what credits and deductions are available can be difficult. Fortunately, there are some general guidelines to help you. Tax credits are available for energy-efficient appliances. Federal Tax Incentives The 2005 Energy Policy Act provides some tax benefits to those who purchase certain appliances. The benefits, though, do not include tax deductions. Instead, they are tax credits, which are more valuable because they provide dollar-for-dollar reimbursement rather than a reduction in the amount of taxable income. Certain energy-efficient central air conditioning systems qualify for a tax credit of 30 percent of the cost of purchase and installation. Some water heater purchases are also eligible for tax credits."

However, to get the deduction, you need to know how to value your donation and what records you need to keep in case the IRS audits your return. Donating old clothes to Goodwill can reduce your tax bill.credit: Lumina Stock/i Stock/Getty Images Valuing Your Donation When you donate cash to a charity, it's easy to tell how much you get to deduct on your taxes. With gifts of goods or property, such as clothing, household appliances or games you don't play any more, you're allowed to deduct the fair market value, which the IRS defines as the price a willing buyer would pay and a willing seller would accept. Usually, that's substantially lower than the new price and more like the price you pay at a thrift store. To help you get an idea of what your donations might be worth, some charities, including Goodwill, publish a pricing guide (see Resources). Donation Limitations The limitations on how much you can write off on your taxes for charitable contributions are very high: Your total charitable deduction for the year can't exceed 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. For example, if your AGI is $45,000, you can't deduct more than $22,500 for all your charitable contributions put together. However, to claim the charitable donation deduction, you must itemize your deductions, which means your total deductions must exceed the standard deduction you are entitled to. Documenting Goodwill Donations If you donate less than $250 of goods and it's not practical to get a receipt, the IRS doesn't require a formal record from Goodwill before you can claim the deduction."

It’s well understood that one of the biggest advantages of owning a rental property is the tax benefits and deductions available to the owner. However, when you replace or fix a major appliance inside a rental property, a major consideration is the taxes potentially paid or deducted. And when you have to replace the AC system, you might want to consider air conditioner depreciation as a cost effective method to spread your tax savings and investment over a long-term period. In the information below, we will talk about the depreciation of air conditioning systems and how it impacts those who own rental properties. What is Air Conditioner Depreciation? Anytime you replace or repair an item inside a rental unit there are two general financial options to consider: First, if you repair an item like an AC unit, you can deduct the total cost of the repair on that individual year taxes. This is known as a single deduction. Second, according to current IRS tax regulations, if you replace the unit, you have the option to depreciate that cost and spread it out over a period of up to 27.5 years. If an item within the property is repaired, it restores the property value to status quo (or where it was prior to the item being damaged)."

Luckily for restaurant owners, there is an exception that allows restaurant owners to immediately deduct the costs of smallwares in the year they are purchased and used. What Are Smallwares? Smallwares include the following items: Glassware Flatware Dinnerware Pots and pans Table top items Bar supplies Food preparation utensils and tools Storage supplies Service supplies Small appliances that cost $500 or less individually This Provision Helps Other Food Services Businesses, Too…This provision applies to corporations engaged in the business of preparing food and beverages to customer order for immediate on-premises or off-premises consumption. In addition to restaurants and cafeterias, this provision also applies to caterers, mobile food servers, bars and taverns, and food or beverage services located in grocery stores, hotels and motels, amusement parks, theaters, casinos, country clubs, and similar social or recreational facilities. Watch Out for These Traps There are two situations where an immediate deduction will not be available and the business owner will have to deduct the costs of smallwares over a number of years. The situations are: When the smallwares are purchased before the business begins operations. In this situation, the smallwares are treated as start-up expenses .

Find out how these work and what you can claim. As a landlord, you're bound to incur expenses - be it letting agent fees, cleaners or the cost of trying to find new tenants. The good news is that you can reduce your tax bill by claiming for many of the expenses you have to meet. But the rules can be quite complex. This guide explains all you need to know about allowances and expenses for landlords - and how to make the most of the allowances you have. Allowable expenses a landlord can claim As a general rule, landlords can claim the expenses of running and maintaining their property. If the rent you charge covers services like water, or council tax, you'll need to count the rent you charge the tenant within your income - but you can claim the costs you pay as an expense. The most common types of expenses you can deduct are:water rates, council tax, gas and electricitycontents insurancecosts of services, including the wages of gardeners and cleaners (as part of the rental agreement)letting agents' feeslegal fees for lets of a year or less, or for renewing a lease of less than 50 yearsaccountant’s feesrents, ground rents and service chargesdirect costs such as phone calls, stationery and advertising for new tenants The expense should be incurred wholly and exclusively as a result of renting out your property.

Here’s what you need to know to claim your rightful deductions: Charitable deduction basics Depending on the type of charity and whether you contribute cash or other stuff, your charitable write-off can potentially be limited to 20%, 30% or 50% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). AGI is the number at the bottom of Page 1 of your Form 1040. It includes all taxable income items and selected write-offs such as the ones for alimony paid and moving expenses. Contributions that exceed the applicable AGI limit can be carried over for up to five years and hopefully deducted in those future years. Documentation requirements You can only deduct donations for which you have the required documentation. Here are the details on the documentation rules. Cash donations under $250To deduct a cash donation of $250 or less, the best proof of your generosity is a canceled check or credit card statement. Preferably, you should also get a receipt from the organization showing its name, the date and place of the contribution, and the amount given. For small cash donations, say to your church when attending weekly services or to the Salvation Army around the holidays, keep a log to satisfy the IRS."

The Virginia standard deduction amounts are: Filing Status Description Standard Deduction1 All Returns - Single $3,0002 All Returns - Married, Filing Jointly $6,0003 Form 760 (resident) - Married, filing separate returns $3,0003 Form 760PY (part-year resident) - Married, filing separate returns $3,000*3 Form 763 (nonresident) - Married, spouse has no income from any source $3,0004 Form 760 (resident) N/A4 Form 760-PY (part-year resident) - Married, filing separately on a combined return $6,000*4 Form 763 (nonresident) - Married, filing separate returns $3,000* Part-year residents must prorate the standard deduction based on their period of residency. For details, see the instructions for Form 760-PY. Virginia Itemized Deductions If you claim itemized deductions on your federal income tax return, you must also itemize your deductions on your Virginia return. This requirement applies even if using the standard deduction would result in a greater tax benefit on your Virginia return. You can generally claim the same deductions for Virginia purposes that you claimed on your federal Schedule A, except for the deduction for state and local income taxes. The computation is provided in the appropriate line instructions for each Virginia income tax return. You do not need to file a copy of your federal Schedule A or complete a separate Virginia Schedule A. Before computing the itemized deductions on your return, answer the following questions: Do you have an addition or subtraction for Fixed Date Conformity (FDC)?"

To use the depreciation method of tax accounting, deduct a portion of what you paid for the equipment each year the equipment is expected to last.1. Make sure the equipment meets the IRS requirements for depreciation. It must be owned by you and used for business. The property must have a determinable lifespan that is longer than one year, and it must be tangible property that you don’t dispose of the same year in which you purchase it.2. Use the amount you paid for the equipment as your basis for depreciation. The cost can include sales tax, delivery charges and any loans you took out to obtain the equipment.3. Fill out IRS form 4562 and attach it to your tax filing statements. Use instructions provided by the IRS to determine under which categories your equipment falls. For example, small trucks, cars, appliances, computers and copiers are depreciated over a five-year period, while office furniture falls under the seven-year lifespan rule.4."

"text": "\"It's harder to prove the value of non-cash donations than cash donations. Donating money helps make your corner of the world a better place and is also good for the soul. Charitable giving is also good for your taxes, because you can get some deductions for what you give away. However, you don't want to get too carried away. The Internal Revenue Service looks at what you donate, and anything it considers excessive can raise a red flag that you've underreported or overreported something. Looking at Patterns The IRS tends to take a harder look at donations that are much higher than the norm. According to Fox Business, most taxpayers who itemize deductions claim charitable deductions at an average of 3% of their income. While there is no set policy on when the IRS investigates charitable giving, anything significantly higher than average gets noticed. The tax man may look at your income and giving patterns and decide you're either not reporting all your income or claim you're donating more than you really are. The IRS limits your donations to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income, and different types of gifts require different forms."

This section explains how to determine which MACRS depreciation system applies to your property. It also discusses other information you need to know before you can figure depreciation under MACRS. This information includes the property's: Recovery class,Applicable recovery period,Convention,Placed-in-service date,Basis for depreciation, and Depreciation method. Depreciation Systems (p8)Depreciation Systems MACRS consists of two systems that determine how you depreciate your property—the General Depreciation System (GDS) and the Alternative Depreciation System (ADS). You must use GDS unless you are specifically required by law to use ADS or you elect to use ADS. Excluded Property (p8)Excluded Property You can’t use MACRS for certain personal property (such as furniture or appliances) placed in service in your rental property in 2017 if it had been previously placed in service before 1987, when MACRS became effective. In most cases, personal property is excluded from MACRS if you (or a person related to you) owned or used it in 1986 or if your tenant is a person (or someone related to the person) who owned or used it in 1986. However, the property isn’t excluded if your 2017 deduction under MACRS (using a half-year convention) is less than the deduction you would have under ACRS.

"text": "Rental Property Owning rental property is a good way to increase your net worth. When you purchase properties and lease to tenants, you often collect rent that will cover the cost of the mortgage and home repairs while also allowing you to own the property with little to no out-of-pocket expense. Liberty Tax can sort out the confusion and assist you in properly reporting rental income and expenses on your tax return. Reporting Rental Income and Expenses Rental income and expenses are generally reported on Schedule E, Supplemental Income and Loss. Rental income must be reported in the same year in which it is received. If you do not rent your property to make a profit, you can only deduct your rental expenses up to the amount of rental income. If you rent part of your property, that must be separated from property used for personal purposes. The IRS website has more information on reporting rental income and expenses, as well as special tax rules that apply to condominium owners and rent paid for cooperatives. Rental income can include the following payments:rent paid and advance rent payments (such as first and last month's rent)security deposits not returned to the tenantpayment for canceling a leaserental expenses paid by tenant in lieu of rentproperty or services you receive in lieu of rent, at fair market value Rental expenses may include the following and are deductible in the year in which they were paid:advertising for renterscleaning and maintenancecommissions or management feesinsurance premiumslocal transportation expenses to oversee the propertydepreciation of rental propertylegal expenses concerning rental propertymortgage interesttravel expensesreal estate taxesrepairssuppliestax return preparation for rental formsutilities Rental expenses can be deducted from the time the property is made available for rent.

"text": "Landlords Property Investing 101Deducting Improvements vs. Repairs on Your Taxes Definitions and Differences Share Flip Pin Email•••By Erin Eberlin Updated February 28, 2018It is important to understand what qualifies as making an improvement on your property and what qualifies as making a repair. Improvements have a much greater impact on the value of your property than repairs, and they are calculated quite differently when it comes to filing your taxes. Learn how to deduct improvements vs. repairs on your taxes. * Definition of an Improvement An improvement is a property update that will extend the “useful life” of the property. The theory here is that it is not just a short term fix, rather it is something that will add value to the property for years to come. Improvements are usually more extensive than repairs and usually involve greater cost. Improvements include: Adding something that was not previously there,Upgrading something that was existing or Adapting the asset to a new use. Examples of Improvements: Adding an Addition Adding Central Air Conditioning Installing a Security System Installing Brand New Hardwood Flooring Replacing an Entire Roof Replacing All Existing Plumbing Replacing All Existing Electric Renovating a Kitchen Renovating a Bathroom Replacing All Windows Adding a Deck Definition of a Repair A repair is necessary maintenance to keep the property in habitable and working condition. The IRS defines repairs as those that “do not add significant value to the property or extend its life. ”When something is repaired, it is generally restored to its previous good condition, not improved upon."

Which Star Signs should a Gemini man or woman date? Gemini Compatibility Because Gemini is so adaptable and has such good people skills, it tends to get along well with just about everybody at a superficial level. In more intimate relationships, however, it's deeply uncomfortable with possessive partners who want to tie it down. For optimum compatibility, Gemini does best with someone who shares its freedom loving approach to life and won’t get upset by its unpredictable ways. Signs Most Compatible With Gemini As a Star Sign ruled by the element of Air, the safest bet for a Gemini is probably one of the other two Air signs, i.e. LIBRA or AQUARIUS. The favorable 120° – or 4 signs – spacing between Zodiac signs in the same element makes for an especially harmonious relationship and a level of compatibility well above the norm.

"text": "Aquarius Woman Love Advice While friendships may be easily cultivated, a long-term relationship can be hard to come by for the Aquarius woman. Aquarians tend to shy away from convention and commitment. Ruled by planets Saturn and Uranus, Aquarian women are constantly in motion and can be perceived as unreliable or elusive. Intimacy is challenging for the Aquarius woman and emotional contributions to relationships tend to run shallow. Free-spirited Aquarius does not require much affection and easily feels smothered in a relationship, which means she is best matched with similarly independent signs. Aquarians are idealists and humanitarians, characteristics that serve them well in their professional life. But this sometimes works against them in love relationships. While the Aquarius woman is quite difficult at times, she can make a perfect partner when given the required emotional space with a mate who can endure her often impractical and unpredictable nature. Airy Aquarius should avoid love matches with Earthy Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn and tread carefully with Cancer and Gemini. Good partnerships include Aries and Libra."

The Aries woman is blunt and direct while the Cancer man is sensitive and moody. There could be hurt feelings and bruised egos. This love match could work if both signs are willing to learn from one another. The Aries woman will need to learn about nurturing emotions from her Cancer man and the Cancer man will learn how to confront his deepest fears from his Aries woman. There will be an intuitive link between these two that enhances their sexual relationship and the attraction is strong so it won't be surprising if dating turns into love. Aries Man and Cancer Woman The Cancer woman is instinctual and operates from an energy based on security needs whereas the Aries man is fearless and lives in the moment. When these two date there could be some bumps in the road. The Cancer woman may have trouble handling her Aries man's blunt personality. He is confrontational while she is passive."

"text": "\"Astrology for Relationships Compatible Zodiac Signs What Sun Signs Are (In)Compatible With Yours? Let's begin by saying it loud and clear: there are no incompatible signs! This means that any two zodiac signs are more or less compatible. So what is the difference between highly compatible signs and less compatible ones? Well, the degree of compatibility between two zodiac signs simply means how easily they can get along. In other words, a good understanding can always be achieved, but sometimes this comes easily and sometimes this takes patience and a lot of effort. Two people whose zodiac signs are highly compatible will get along quite easily no matter how careless, hasty and upset they might be at times. They are just \"\"on the same wavelength\"\" most of the time. By contrast, two people whose zodiac signs are less compatible will need to constantly \"\"tune in\"\" to each other's \"\"wavelength\"\". They have to be careful, patient and tactful if they really want to achieve harmony in their relationship."

Arabid is a sub race of Mediterranean caucasian race. Arabs are Caucasians since they have the same origins as Europeans. It's also important to note that Caucasians evolved in the Middle East (near the Caucasus,east arab levant, north of Iran). The ''Caucasians'' include: Arabs, North African (Berbers), Iranians, north Indian Subcontinental people, Europeans etc. The predominant racial type in all those areas is Caucasian. Even though all these Caucasian groups have some non-Caucasian admixture to some degree (including Europeans) they are still more genetically closer to each other than to non-Caucasians. For instance, Tanned-skinned Arabs are more genetically similar to blonde North Europeans than the Japanese are to Malaysians, and in fact, the racial divide between the North Asians (North Japanese, Korean, North Chinese) and Southern Asians (such as Malaysian, Thai, Filipino) is much much deeper than the one between Arabs and Europeans. In forensic science and anthropology, ''Caucasian'' is used to describe a skeleton/skull type, rather than a skin color. You can have pale-skinned Caucasians and dark-skinned Caucasians."

Updated Dec 25, 2017The term Caucasian, incorrectly refers to white people, this is because some racist creepy scientist found that humans and their skulls from the Caucasus mountains are really beautiful people, and because of their mass amounts of prehistoric societies, white people must naturally come from there. In modern times, this incorrect statement stuck and now racist idiotic white people from all corners of the world consider themselves as Caucasian. See in reality Caucasian people are from the CAUCASUS mountains: These include people such as - Chechens, Circassians,Abkhazians, Georgians, Ossetians, Avars, Alanians, Armenians, and other ethnic groups and tribes who live around the Caucasus mountains—————————————————————————————————————Example: Circassians who come from the North Caucasus. This is an ignorant racist moron————————————————————————————————————Now Syria is really interesting, many ethnic groups which originate from the Caucasus mountains, or have European features - tend to have racial mix and looks. Syria itself is a REALLY diverse country because Syrian Arabs are a mix of a bunch of different ethnicities and groups (Assyrians, Bedouins, Armenians, Aramaics, Syriacs).

Those of you gifted with logical thinking and possess an open mind will be able to follow this intriguing detective story. With new research, some of you may even be able to take this story much further. Those of you who have been indoctrinated with false truths and outdated dogmas will have much trouble in grasping this new understanding of how the world once was. The following genetic information gives us a fairly clear picture of the genetic connections in the Pacific region, which shows that Polynesians left S. E. Asia 11,500 years ago and departed from the Taiwan area 6000 years ago. They spent 3,800years in Alaska/Canada before travelling South West to Hawai'i 2,200 years ago (genetics and family genealogies confirm this figure) and eventually south to Tahiti about 1,400 years ago and then on to New Zealand about 1,000 years ago (The last two figures are yet to be verified from Tahitian and Maori genealogies). Geneticists have found that Polynesians do share a common male ancestor (Y chromozome) 11,500 years ago, with the short, dark frizzy haired New Guinea highlanders - genes from the ancient pygmy tribes that once populated the planet over 100,000 years ago. Significant populations of these people can still be found amongst the Andaman islanders and the Negritos of the Phillippines. Polynesians ceased contact with these people 11,500 years ago and to even the layman, their physical characteristics clearly show that they have evolved quite separately. It is important to note that this ancient genetic connection with Negrito Pygmies - not Melanesians, does not even remotely suggest that Polynesians entered island Melanesia at this time, as these people were much more widespread throughout S. E. Asia."

It still appears on many government forms and some science papers and that seems to perpetuate its ongoing use. There are also some who mistakenly think it is more “politically correct,” when instead it causes confusion. In reality we should stop using the word Caucasian because it originates from a racial classification system that isn’t valid. We’re all part of the same human species and race is an artificial construct that isn’t supported by science. I personally think it would make more sense for us to use color terms like white, black and brown when describing visual appearance and geographic terms such as Western European when discussing ethnic ancestry. Since many people have mixed ancestry we could come up with new terms for that as well. Then we could describe things more logically. I could say my friend X has light brown skin and European and African ancestry while I have white skin and northern European ancestry."

"text": "Nabeel Zazaian, Bachelor's Journalism & Broadcasting, Central Michigan University (2018)Updated Feb 26, 2018My post is rather long, but if you want an answer that truly encapsulates the subject from every angle, I suggest you take a look. Let me begin by saying the racial classification of Armenians, simply put, is complex. This is because Armenians are an extremely diverse ethnic group in genealogical history and in phenotype, which mostly results from our wide-spread ancestral origins. While Armenians are considered members of the “Caucasoid” race (as are North Africans, Afghanis, Arabs, Pakistanis, and other groups that would never be labelled “white”), it’s important to note that these classifications were based on 1800s German anthropological studies, which today have been proven to be completely pseudoscientific. In other words, you should completely disregarded any info you’ve read that pertains to the so-called “Caucasian” race. So while Armenians, as well as Arabs and even Indians are labelled members of the “Caucasian” race, this does not make them “white” (racially). Firstly, the notion that “all Armenians come from the Caucuses” is hardly accurate. In fact, Armenians aren’t even considered a Caucuses group, as its modern Caucuses location only encompasses about 10% of its original size. nor is the Armenian language of the Caucuses Linguistic branch (see: The Armenians Are Not Caucasians ). Historic Armenian territories included not only its modern Caucuses location, but much of the northern Caucuses (Georgia/Azerbaijan/Southern Russia), Anatolia (Eastern Turkey), Ancient Mesopotamia (Northern Iraq), the Levant (Southeast Turkey/Syria/Jordan/Lebanon), and the Iranian Plateau."

"text": "\"Patrick Edwin Moran, worked at University of Pennsylvania Updated Sep 26, 2015 · Author has 5.1k answers and 2.6m answer views Olive skin is a superposition of black and white. Upon observation it resolves either to black or to white depending on the state of the observer. To be a bit less flippant about the matter, to me the task when listening to someone and interpreting what they are saying and doing is to consider not the dementia-producing question of [race] but the cultural context of the speaker. When I was teaching a course in Chinese literature one semester there were three African-American basketball players who always sat together in the back row. Almost every day a certain one of the three would launch some barb at me while the rest of the students were finding their seats. I can't remember a real example but it might have been something like, \"\"Do you always wear socks of two different colors?\"\" To which I would reply, \"\"Only on days when I foresee that you are going to sit protected between Tex and Cab.\"\" ( Not real names, of course.) From having rented a room in the house of an African-American minister and his wife for a few years while I was in Philadelphia and having lived and worked in their community for even more time, I knew that this kind of barb was a kind of friendly interaction, and that the expected response was a rejoinder of the same general kind. I enjoyed it, but I always wondered whether the rest of the students (mostly other than African-Americans) were wondering what was going on."

"text": "\"Description This section is from \"\" The American Cyclopaedia \"\", by George Ripley And Charles A. Dana. Also available from Amazon: The New American Cyclopædia. 16 volumes complete.. Semitic Race And Languages The Semitic race constitutes one of the most important and largest divisions of the Mediterranean or Caucasian type of mankind. ( See Ethnology .) The name Semitic (properly Shemitic), first applied by Eichhorn, is in a measure a misnomer, inasmuch as modern ethnology and linguistic science designate by it a much larger family of peoples than are represented in Genesis as descendants of Shem. The inhabitants of Syria and adjoining parts of Mesopotamia, and the coast lands of Palestine, forming the division of North Semites, and the population of Arabia and parts of N. E. Africa, constituting the South Semites, are now grouped together as Semites proper, or Eusemites. Thus the Aramaeans (Syrians and Chaldeans), Hebrews, and Phoenicians are North Semites; and the central Arabs or Ishmaelites, South Arabs or Joktanites, and the inhabitants of Ethiopia or Abyssinia, are South Semites. Furthermore, the term Semitic is made to embrace not only the Phoenicians and Ethiopians, but almost all the large group of peoples usually called Hamites in reference to the Biblical genealogies. The Hamitic Semites, or Dyssemites, include, besides the primitive Assyrians, Babylonians, and Phoenicians, the following three branches: the Egyptian, comprising the ancient Egyptians and the Copts or modern Egyptians; the Libyan, formed by the Berbers and Tuariks (Amazirgh or Imo-sharh), the Kabyles, Shelloohs, and Guanches; and the Ethiopian, represented by the Bedjas, Bogos, Saho, Agow, Fellatahs or Foolahs, Galla, Danakil, and Somauli. Lepsius, adopting the opinion of Bleek, the great student of the African languages, includes still another branch, which he calls the South African, and in which he reckons the Hottentots and Bushmen, but of course only from a linguistic point of view."

Why are they darker in shade and their features vary? Answer: T he variations in skin colour and other physical features make a fascinating focus. I have travelled and lived in the Mediterranean region, and find that the whole region tends to predominate with darker complexioned, dark-haired people. However, there is an obvious visible difference in the sprinkling of blond-haired individuals all through the area, including Northern Africa (Berbers), Turkey and Greece. Like peoples in most all of Europe, the people in the peninsula we now know as the country of Italy, are of greatly mixed background. Racial categories or terms depend on the choices available. Caucasian is a common term, but not precisely defined or consistently used.

"text": "\"Ajaypalsingh Sandhu Answered Jun 5, 2017it was a Hindu author, who was the first to suggest that Persians called river Sindhu as Hindu due to difference in pronunciation. Nonetheless, this explanation has found its way in European writings. Hindus find comfort in this absurd explanation as it provides them escape from facing the reality of their humiliating past and connects them to their mythical glorious past, the so called Vedic period of Ram Raj. Indian writers who have looked at the meaning of “Hindu” with a critical eye don’t agree with the interpretation of foreign writers. Some people, according to the author, say that this word Hindu is a corrupt form of Sindhu but this is wrong because Sindhu was the name of the river and not the name of the community. Moreover, it is correct that this name has been given to the original Aryan race of the region by Muslim invaders to humiliate them. In Persian, says author, the word means slave, and according to Islam, all those who did not embrace Islam were termed as slaves.” [ Maharishi Shri Dayanand Sarswati Aur Unka Kaam, edited by Lala Lajpat Rai, published from Lahore in 1898, in the chapter of introduction. ] Besides, a Persian dictionary titled Lughet-e-Kishwari, published in Lucknow in 1964, gives the meaning of Hindu as ‘chore (thief), dakoo (dacoit), raahzan (waylayer), and ghulam (slave) ’. Yet according to an other dictionary named Urdu-Feroze-ul-Laghat – part 1 (p 615), the meaning of the word Hindu is as under: In Turkish: chore, raahzan and lutera (looter)."

Under the general understanding of the term \"\"Gentile\"\" it refers to any and all non-Jews. Arabs certainly fall within this definition. Therefore, the Arabs are Gentiles. So are the Chinese, the Brazilians, and the Zambians, save any Jews among them. Answer 2Absolutely not!

"text": "\"A: As an important aspect of a comprehensive business strategy, a company's business model is a representation of its core business practices. Despite the size or industry in which a business operates, a business model details how an organization creates and delivers products or services, specific business processes, infrastructure, customer acquisition strategies and the intended customer base. Brick-and-mortar and e-commerce form two categories under which business can operate. In the current business environment, business models come in a variety of forms that include direct sales, franchise, freemium and subscription models. Direct Sales Under a direct sales business model, sales of products or services generate revenue through a network of salespeople who sell directly to customers. Typically, no fixed retail location exists under a direct sales business model. Instead, individual salespeople are connected with a large parent company and given the tools to become individual entrepreneurs. Direct sales takes place through presentations or demonstrations of the product or service in a one-on-one setting or during a hosted party at a prospect's home or business. Business owners in direct sales earn a portion of their sales, while the company providing the product retains the remaining revenue. Companies such as Avon, Arbonne and Herbalife are examples of the direct sales business model."

"text": "\"By Meghan Telpner/ Beauty Care112 comments Have you been contacted yet by your friendly neighbourhood Arbonne consultant? We all know one, don't we? This might have something to do with the fact that the number of Arbonne consultants has doubled, worldwide, in the past year. Arbonne is not living up to what they claim to be. In the last six months, I have been approached by an Arbonne consultant nearly weekly. I would be a prime candidate to be a consultant: I cheerlead for the pure, healthy, clean lifestyle. I also have access to you, my very well informed, intelligent community who might be open to spending a little more for great quality products when they come with the assurance of non-toxicity. I thought that rather than continue to kindly decline offers to sign up as a consultant, I would look into the products a little further, because maybe this could be a widely available brand that, even if I didn't sell it, I might feel okay recommending it- after all, I have seen them at natural health shows and most recently, at the Green Living Show. For those of you who don't have a neighbourhood Arbonne rep, Arbonne works much like Avon, or Mary Kay cosmetics, Usana, Juice Plus, or the old school Tupperware. It's a multi-level, or what they refer to as \"\"network marketing\"\", company where independent reps go out and promote and sell the products to friends and family, and hopefully get those friends and family to sign up as consultants too, so they will earn income not just from their own sales, but also a commission on the sales their friends/family make."

Selective pea, cranberry and rice proteins form the foundation of this product. While we have many vegan believers on staff, and they were impressed at the protein in this vegan blend (20 grams), we’re afraid this is not really enough protein to satisfy the needs of a non-vegan. Those who follow strict vegan diet are typically well aware that they need to overcompensate for protein they may be lacking from the foods the eat. For this reason, they are prepared to consume other foods and supplements to make up for this. If you are not a vegan, then we suggest finding a protein shake that contains more protein per a serving and has a protein source that is absorbed efficiently by the body. The biological value, or BV is the measurement of the body’s ability to absorb and utilize a protein. Soy has a Biological Value, or BV of 74. On the other hand, whey has a BV of 104. A solid mix of key nutrients make this a good vegan substitute."

"text": "Can Probiotics Cause Gas? By Donna Sundblad Source Not all strains of probiotics are the same, and not all probiotic supplements contain the same strain. These variances, along with differences in other additives from one product to another, makes each supplement a unique product. Add this to the uniqueness of the flora found in each person's intestinal tract, and you have a recipe for diverse side effects. These differences can also lead to some strains being more effective than others. Probiotic Strength The strength of a product also influences its effect. Probiotics are measured in colony forming units (CFU) which refers to live microbes present in a dose. The CFUs vary from one product to another and as a result, the effects experienced when taking one product may not hold true with another. Gas and the Die-Off Theory Whole-health practitioners and some medical doctors often recommend probiotics to help treat a condition called intestinal dysbiosis, which is an overgrowth of unfriendly bacteria and/or fungus in the intestines. This condition is often due to a poor diet; however, it may also result from the use of antibiotics or as the consequence of a compromised immune system."

After all, you get paid to generate sales volume in your sales organization. You ultimately get paid a percentage of the total sales volume of your group.

"text": "Why Is Mineral Oil Bad for Your Skin?by MAGGIE NEW Aug. 14, 2017Mineral oil is an extremely common ingredient in personal care products from moisturizers to foundation to lip balm, and it is also an ingredient in a myriad of hair products. Baby oil, for example, is made entirely of mineral oil. Unfortunately, the use of mineral oil in so many products has more to do with its cost than it's helpfulness in helping you maintain clear, healthy skin. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Origin Before the invention of synthetic oil, mineral oil was predominantly used as a mechanical lubricant. According to the Environmental Working Group, mineral oil is derived from petroleum and may be contaminated with cancer-causing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Mineral oil aggravates acne and negatively impacts skin function, causing it to age prematurely. This oil is a common ingredient in anything that requires a smooth gliding action, and may be listed under different names, including petrolatum or paraffinum. Features Mineral oil acts as a moisturizing agent only to the extent that it keeps the area of skin that it is applied to moist. While most moisturizers include important nutrients that support the fragile-and always aging-facial skin mineral oil provides no nutrients whatsoever. It actually seals off your skin, preventing it from breathing."

How about a non-toxic shampoo and conditioner that won't give you cancer as it sinks into your scalp? A couple of years ago I found this great website called EWG Skin Deep Cosmetic Database where I could research any product from make-up, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and more to determine its toxicity level and what exactly makes it toxic. It's also a great tool to find companies who produce safe, non-toxic products. One of my favorite lotions that I had been using was Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion – so I typed it into the database and found that it had a toxicity level of 5. The highest level of toxicity is 10. Included in the wealth of information is that it's not tested on animals – a plus- and all of the ingredients and its contribution towards the overall toxicity level of 5, and how the toxins will affect your body. In this case, Fragrance, is the ingredient with the highest toxicity of 8 towards the overall toxicity of 5. Concerns for fragrance – which is synthetic – is Neurotoxicity and Allergies/immunotoxicity. The next toxic ingredient was Magnesium Aluminum Silicate with a toxic level of 4 – concerns being Developmental/reproductive toxicity, Neurotoxicity, Organ system toxicity (non-reproductive)."

This list includes all of the star signs, in order, followed by their four most compatible signs. It also includes specifics about the various astrological signs' elements. When determining true compatibility in relationships (known as synastry), an astrologist analyzes more than just the sun signs, though that's certainly a starting point. Other factors that come into play with horoscope signs compatibility include specific moon signs' compatibility. Placements of Venus and Mars in a person's astrological birth chart are also important considerations. In short, it's key to consider the specific placements of a planet in a person's natal horoscope chart to find out whether or not they'll be compatible with another person.

This means that any two zodiac signs are more or less compatible. So what is the difference between highly compatible signs and less compatible ones? Well, the degree of compatibility between two zodiac signs simply means how easily they can get along. In other words, a good understanding can always be achieved, but sometimes this comes easily and sometimes this takes patience and a lot of effort. Two people whose zodiac signs are highly compatible will get along quite easily no matter how careless, hasty and upset they might be at times. They are just \"\"on the same wavelength\"\" most of the time. By contrast, two people whose zodiac signs are less compatible will need to constantly \"\"tune in\"\" to each other's \"\"wavelength\"\".

Aries is the Sign of Self while Libra is the Sign of Partnership, and the differences continue: Aries is impulsive, excitable and ready to jump right into something new and exciting, while Libra is indecisive, peace-loving and prefers a calm, smooth approach. Aries can learn from Libra that their own way isn’t necessarily the best way. These two Signs share the great sexual attraction common to all Signs opposite in polarity. At the same time, though this pair’s connection is amazing when it’s good, it can be extremely challenging when it’s bad. All polarities have energies that tend to tangle or knot if understandings can’t be reached. As a combination, Aries and Libra are well-balanced.

"text": "\"The Aries man is a definite alpha male. Typically strong and striking in appearance, he is often athletic and takes a great pride in his appearance and his physical fitness. He is extremely energetic and exudes testosterone and sex appeal. He’s trendy and “of the moment” with his fashion sense, although he likes to be a style leader rather than a follower. The Thrill of the Chase When it comes to Aries male astrological compatibility, the key thing to understand is that Aries needs to win. The Aries man is fiercely competitive in love and romance, and will enjoy the thrill of the chase, competing against other males to win his female’s attention. He doesn’t mind a partner who flirts, because he likes the challenge of keeping her. The Aries man has a strong and forthright personality, so the best compatibility for him is an equally strong female. Although he could easily dominate a more gentle woman, he tends not to – he has a great deal of respect for women and is chivalrous to a fault; he just prefers confident, assertive women as they present more of a challenge to him. In a relationship, the Aries man will tell it like it is."

"text": "\"The fire signs of the zodiac – Aries, Leo and Sagittarius – share a lot in common with one another, but they’re also very different. It’s important to consider these differences when thinking about horoscope sign compatibility for any fire sign – but do remember, an astrological compatibility chart is not based on sun signs alone. What makes these wild children of the zodiac tick, and what do they each need from a relationship? Aries is the first fire sign, and indeed the first sign of the zodiac. That should give you a clue – Aries simply has to be first, and best, at everything. Aries is a cardinal fire sign, cardinal meaning that the underlying energy here is “to start, to initiate, to begin”. When there’s a lot of Aries in a horoscope, sign compatibility is best with a partner who loves this unbridled energy and enthusiasm. With being first, however, also comes a large helping of selfishness, and Aries can indeed be the most self-centred sign of all, and one of the sulkiest if they don’t get their own way. Because they don’t think things through first and simply have to act now, Aries people are also rather reckless. Some people find that exciting in a partner."

Gemini Compatibility Because Gemini is so adaptable and has such good people skills, it tends to get along well with just about everybody at a superficial level. In more intimate relationships, however, it's deeply uncomfortable with possessive partners who want to tie it down. For optimum compatibility, Gemini does best with someone who shares its freedom loving approach to life and won’t get upset by its unpredictable ways. Signs Most Compatible With Gemini As a Star Sign ruled by the element of Air, the safest bet for a Gemini is probably one of the other two Air signs, i.e. LIBRA or AQUARIUS. The favorable 120° – or 4 signs – spacing between Zodiac signs in the same element makes for an especially harmonious relationship and a level of compatibility well above the norm.

Hydrocarbons are compounds that only consist of the elements hydrogen and carbon. In this lesson, we will focus on one type of hydrocarbon: unsaturated hydrocarbons, and its three types - alkenes, alkynes and aromatic hydrocarbons. What are Unsaturated Hydrocarbons? Unsaturated hydrocarbons are something that we encounter every day. Have you ever used an acetylene torch to work on a home project? Acetylene is the fuel used to activate this torch and it is an unsaturated hydrocarbon. Did you know that styrofoam food containers are also made of an unsaturated hydrocarbon called styrene? Unsaturated hydrocarbons are compounds that consist only of the elements carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) and contain at least one carbon-carbon double or triple bond. Here are examples of the unsaturated hydrocarbons."

The most prolific hydrocarbons found in the chemistry of petroleum are alkanes, these are also sometimes knows as branched or linear hydrocarbons. A significant percentage of the remaining chemical compound is the made up of aromatic hydrocarbons and cycloalkanes. Additionally petroleum chemistry contains several more complex hydrocarbons such as asphaltenes. Each geographical location and hence oil field will produce a raw petroleum with a different combination of molecules depending upon the overall percentage of each hydrocarbon it contains, this directly affects the colouration and viscosity of the petroleum chemistry. The primary form of hydrocarbons in the chemistry of petroleum are the alkanes, which are also often named paraffins. These are termed saturated hydrocarbons and the exhibit either branched or straight molecule chains. The paraffins are very pure hydrocarbons and contain only hydrogen and carbon; it is the alkanes which give petroleum chemistry its combustible nature. Depending upon the type of alkanes present in the raw petroleum chemistry it will be suitable for different applications. For fuel purposes only the alkanes from the following groups will be used: Pentane and Octane will be refined into gasoline, hexadecane and nonane will be refined into kerosene or diesel or used as a component in the production of jet fuel, hexadecane will be refined into fuel oil or heating oil."

Learning Objectives Identify the two major classes of hydrocarbons Key Takeaways Key Points Hydrocarbons can be classified as either aromatic or aliphatic compounds, depending on the presence of a benzene ring. Aliphatic compounds can be divided into alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes, based on the presence of double or triple bonds in the chemical structure. Aromatic hydrocarbons, or arenes, contain a benzene ring, which alters their properties. Key Termsaromatic: Having a closed ring of alternate single and double bonds with delocalized electrons.saturated hydrocarbon: Compounds that consist entirely of single bonds, so that each carbon atom is connected to four other atomsunsaturated hydrocarbons: A molecule where some of the carbons are connected to fewer than four neighboring atoms. Usually the molecule contains double or triple bonds. Hydrocarbons are the simplest class of organic compounds and are composed solely of hydrogen and carbon. This class can be further divided into two groups: aliphatic hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. Aliphatic Hydrocarbons Aliphatic hydrocarbons can be classified based on the structure and bonding of the carbon skeleton into one of three groups: alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. Alkanes, or saturated hydrocarbons, are compounds that consist entirely of single bonds, so that each carbon atom is connected to four other atoms (either another carbon within the skeletal structure or a hydrogen atom)."

"text": "Alkanes and Alkenes Written by tutor Nathan R. Dealing with organic compounds in chemistry can feel overwhelming. A small difference in the molecule changes the name and can drastically change the reactivity of the compound. This holds true for the two compound groups, Alkanes and Alkenes. They are both hydrocarbons and therefore follow the standard nomenclature prefix (ex. meth, eth, prop, but, pent). Their suffix differs based on the type of carbon bonds present. The suffix difference is one of many differences that will be discussed further. As stated earlier the beginning of a compounds name (meth, eth, and prop) stays the same while the ending changes based on the type carbon bond. There are three types of carbon bounds; single, double and triple. The focus will be on the carbon to carbon single and double bonds or the alkanes and alkenes, respectively."

These compounds are known as hydrocarbons, because their molecules contain carbon and hydrogen elements bonded together. They are asphalt, grease and wax, naphtha, diesel fuel, heating oil, aviation fuel, gasoline or petrol and gases. Separating them is quite easy as each compound has progressively higher boiling points. So, crude oil is heated and each component is captured at their respective boiling points.

The smallest hydrocarbon, methane, is composed of a single carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. However, hydrocarbons can literally consist of hundreds or thousands of individual atoms that are linked together in any number of ways, including chains, circles, and other complex shapes. Properties Because the structure of different hydrocarbons can vary so drastically, the properties of each class of molecule vary greatly as well. In order to help categorize the properties of hydrocarbons, they are broken up into several basic types. Alkanes – These are referred to as saturated hydrocarbons. Saturated has a specific definition in terms of carbon-based molecules. Carbon can form up to four separate bonds with four separate other atoms. However, it is also possible for carbon to form multiple bonds with a single atom, even another carbon atom."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Arene\"\" redirects here. For other uses, see Arene (disambiguation). An aromatic hydrocarbon or arene [1] (or sometimes aryl hydrocarbon) [2] is a hydrocarbon with sigma bonds and delocalized pi electrons between carbon atoms forming a circle. In contrast, aliphatic hydrocarbons lack this delocalization. The term 'aromatic' was assigned before the physical mechanism determining aromaticity was discovered; the term was coined as such simply because many of the compounds have a sweet or pleasant odour. The configuration of six carbon atoms in aromatic compounds is known as a benzene ring, after the simplest possible such hydrocarbon, benzene. Aromatic hydrocarbons can be monocyclic (MAH) or polycyclic (PAH). Some non-benzene-based compounds called heteroarenes, which follow Hückel's rule (for monocyclic rings: when the number of its π-electrons equals 4 n + 2, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3,…), are also called aromatic compounds. In these compounds, at least one carbon atom is replaced by one of the heteroatoms oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. Examples of non-benzene compounds with aromatic properties are furan, a heterocyclic compound with a five-membered ring that includes a single oxygen atom, and pyridine, a heterocyclic compound with a six-membered ring containing one nitrogen atom.

Hydrodesulfurization ( HDS) is a catalytic chemical process widely used to remove sulfur (S) from natural gas and from refined petroleum products, such as gasoline or petrol, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel fuel, and fuel oils. [ 1] [2] The purpose of removing the sulfur, and creating products such as ultra-low-sulfur diesel, is to reduce the sulfur dioxide ( SO 2) emissions that result from using those fuels in automotive vehicles, aircraft, railroad locomotives, ships, gas or oil burning power plants, residential and industrial furnaces, and other forms of fuel combustion. Another important reason for removing sulfur from the naphtha streams within a petroleum refinery is that sulfur, even in extremely low concentrations, poisons the noble metal catalysts ( platinum and rhenium) in the catalytic reforming units that are subsequently used to upgrade the octane rating of the naphtha streams. The industrial hydrodesulfurization processes include facilities for the capture and removal of the resulting hydrogen sulfide ( H 2S) gas. In petroleum refineries, the hydrogen sulfide gas is then subsequently converted into byproduct elemental sulfur or sulfuric acid ( H 2SO 4 ). In fact, the vast majority of the 64,000,000 metric tons of sulfur produced worldwide in 2005 was byproduct sulfur from refineries and other hydrocarbon processing plants. [ 3] [4]An HDS unit in the petroleum refining industry is also often referred to as a hydrotreater.

[ 5] [6] Through this work, he found that unsaturated hydrocarbons in the vapor phase could be converted into saturated hydrocarbons by using hydrogen and a catalytic metal, laying the foundation of the modern catalytic hydrogenation process."

However, many halogenated organic compounds of high molecular weight, in particular those containing several halogen atoms per molecule, are nonflammable; some are in fact used as fire retardants. Reactivity Halogenated aliphatic compounds are moderately or very reactive. They generally become less reactive as more of their hydrogen atoms are replaced with halogen atoms."

Hydrocarbons contain a backbone consisting of carbon atoms, called a carbon skeleton with hydrogen atoms attached to that backbone. Hydrocarbons, which are combustible, are the main components of fossil fuels, which include petroleum, coal, and natural gas. The most abundant hydrocarbon is methane. Types of hydrocarbons Pure hydrocarbons, i.e. those compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen, can be classified as follows: 1. aromatic hydrocarbons, also known as arenes which have at least one aromatic ring 2. saturated hydrocarbons, also known as alkanes or aliphatic hydrocarbons, don't have any double, triple or aromatic bonds."

The prefix cyclo- comes from ancient Greek and in this case means round. Whenever the ends of a carbon chain are joined together, that molecule is said to be cyclic, and alkenes are no different than other carbon chains in that respect. Cycloalkenes are perhaps among the most important organic substances for biological and industrial purposes because they are used in the production of molecules essential to a broad spectrum of applications. Understanding cycloalkenes is a critical part of understanding organic chemistry and its applications to biology, medicine, industry and every other relevant field. What They Are [ edit]As stated above, a cycloalkene is merely a chain of carbon molecules containing at least one double bond between two carbon atoms that has joined two ends to form some type of ring structure. The number of carbons involved and the number of double bonds shared affect molecule stability and other properties, but those factors do not affect the definition of what a cycloalkene is. If an organic chemist knows the empirical formula of a molecule and also knows that it is a cyclic molecule, she can derive the shape of the molecule from this information. She does so using the concept of sites of unsaturation. As you know from the chapter on alkanes, a saturated hydrocarbon chain is one that has only single bonds between carbon atoms and enough hydrogens attached to give every single carbon a total of four molecular bonds."

Abstract The formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is a widespread issue during the supercritical water gasification of sewage sludge, which directly reduces the gasification efficiency and restricts the technology practical application. The changes of the concentrations and forms as well as the synthesis rate of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the residues from supercritical water gasification of dewatered sewage sludge were investigated to understand influence factors and the reaction pathways. Results showed that the increase of reaction temperature during the heating period favours directly concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (especially higher-molecular-weight), especially when it raise above 300 °C. Lower heating and cooling rate essentially extend the total reaction time. Higher polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentration and higher number of rings were generally promoted by lower heating and cooling rate, longer reaction time and higher reaction temperature. The lower-molecular-weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be directly generated through the decomposition of aromatic-containing compounds in sewage sludge, as well as 3-ring and 4-ring polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can be formed by aromatization of steroids. Possible mechanisms of reaction pathways of supercritical water gasification of sewage sludge were also proposed.

"text": "\"Home > Examples > Science Examples > Hydrocarbons Examples Hydrocarbons Examples Hydrocarbons A hydrocarbon is a molecule whose structure includes only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Interestingly, though, hydrocarbons (once combined) also form bonds with other atoms in order to create organic compounds. The presence of carbon is required for a compound to be classified as organic in all but a few cases, but the presence of a hydrocarbon adds even more basis for it to be considered organic as there are a few inorganic compounds that do contain carbon but not hydrogen. The presence of a hydrocarbon in an organic compound means the bonds between the atoms will be particularly strong, unlike the bonds in inorganic compounds and in organic compounds that contain a carbon atom. The presence of other atoms leads to hydrocarbons being classified as either pure (only hydrogen and carbon) or impure (hydrogen or carbon bonded to other atoms as well as each other). Examples of Hydrocarbons:1. Natural gas and fuels - Many of the natural fuel sources we use are hydrocarbons. Compounds like methane, butane, propane, and hexane are all hydrocarbons. Their chemical formulas consist of only carbon and hydrogen atoms, in a variety of ratios and chemical configurations.2. Plastics - Many of the plastics we use in everyday life and in industry are made from long chains of monomers, formed from petrochemicals."

Organic chemists divide all the organic compounds into two groups as aliphatic and aromatic compounds. This separation is based on the way carbon atoms are arranged in the molecule.

Whilst the division of the main evolutionary stages of multicellular life into Palaeozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic is described in many popular science books and educational websites, few people are aware that these terms apply to animal life only. Plant life followed a different route, and the paleobotanical time-eras of Palaeophytic, Mesophytic, and Cenophytic are only approximately equivalent. Palaeophytic refers to the primarily spore-bearing (and a few primitive seed-bearing) Paleozoic vascular flora, which appeared in the Middle Ordovician period and die out quite a few millions of years before the end of the Paleozoic ( latest early Permian and earlier). In the middle Permian the gymnosperm-dominated Mesophytic flora emerges (although Mesophytic type plants go back to the Carboniferous, just as some Paleophytic plants survive even to this day), and this flourishes right up until the middle and later Cretaceous. MAK010115Arthropods Arthropods apparently got off to an early start. By the time of the Burgess Shale in the Middle Cambrian arthropods and their immediate relations were already the most diverse and successful group of animals. The anomalocarids which were either arthropods or their immediate sister group) were the world's earliest known large predator, with lengths approaching 2 meters. Trilobites are well known from Cambrian Epoch 2 onwards, since their hard carapace fossilizes easily. In addition to trilobites and several other high-level taxa of extinct arthropods, it is almost certain that many of the important arthropod groups of today had already diverged by this time, including the chelicerates, crustaceans, and arachnids."

"text": "Insects are crustaceans!The phylogeny of arthropods has always been messy. One reason is that studies trying to discern their evolutionary relationships often use too few taxa (this is, after all, the most species-rich of all animal groups), and, especially, too few genes. Conclusions have been based, for example, on only 18S and 28S r RNA and mt DNA (the latter is, of course, effectively one gene). And this has led to conflicting conclusions, some of which contravene morphologically-based systematics. For example, morphology seems to define a group called the “mandibulata”: all those arthropods that have mandibles. But some molecular work has lumped the myriapods (centipedes and millipedes), which have mandibles, together with the chelicerates, which don’t have mandibles but a nonhomologous biting structure called chelicerae. ( Chelicerates include spiders, horseshoe crabs, pycnogonids, and the like; see Fig. 1 below). Now, a new paper in Nature by Regier et al. has come up with a near-definitive family tree of arthropods that resolves many of the questions that arose from studies using lesser resolution."

The creature�s expressionless eyes give no indication that it can think or feel. Its colored armor plating seems more suited to a machine than to an animal. There are too many legs jointed in too many places. The abdomen pulses, the antennae twitch, and tiny oral appendages shift food to the mouth. Lean a little closer and the thing leaps, almost into one�s face, to veer off on crackling wings. Such an experience may strengthen the conclusion that arthropods are so different from us that they are essentially alien life forms. But such an extreme first impression is not really justified. Arthropods are classified as animals, exactly as we are, and so they must have characteristics in common with us and with other members of the animal kingdom. Certainly they do."

"text": "Arthropodborne Diseases Created by: Team Quinstreet Posted : Monday January 01, 1900Historically, arthropodborne diseases have caused more casualties than combat injuries. Arthropodborne diseases alone were responsible for the loss of 15,576,000 man-days among US Armed Forces during World War II. Today, harmful arthropods represent one of the greatest environmental hazard to soldiers in the field. The chain of infection for arthropodborne diseases involves a pathogenic organism in an infected person or animal (the reservoir), an arthropod to transmit the disease (vector), and a susceptible person (the host). The significance of vector efficiency in disease transmission from reservoir to host is related to many factors. Some of the factors are species-related such as vector reproductive capacity, physiology, morphology, and genetics. Other factors that affect the vector�s ability to transmit disease are physical and related to environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture, rainfall, p H, weather, geographical and topographical location, photoperiod, and wind.

"text": "The evolution of the Ecdysozoa Maximilian J Telford, Sarah J Bourlat, Andrew Economou, Daniel Papillon, Omar Rota-Stabelli Published 27 April 2008. DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2007.2243Article Figures & Data Info & Metrics e Letters PDFAbstract Ecdysozoa is a clade composed of eight phyla: the arthropods, tardigrades and onychophorans that share segmentation and appendages and the nematodes, nematomorphs, priapulids, kinorhynchs and loriciferans, which are worms with an anterior proboscis or introvert. Ecdysozoa contains the vast majority of animal species and there is a great diversity of body plans among both living and fossil members. The monophyly of the clade has been called into question by some workers based on analyses of whole genome datasets. We review the evidence that now conclusively supports the unique origin of these phyla. Relationships within Ecdysozoa are also controversial and we discuss the molecular and morphological evidence for a number of monophyletic groups within this superphylum. Keywords:1. Introduction The Ecdysozoa is a widely accepted clade that encompasses the Euarthropoda (Insecta, Crustacea, Myriapoda and Chelicerata), the arthropod-like Onychophora and Tardigrada and five phyla of introvert bearing worms: the Nematoda, Nematomorpha, Priapulida, Kinorhyncha and Loricifera. In terms of species numbers and niche diversity, the Ecdysozoa is far and away the most significant clade of animals with over a million described species and an estimated total of more than 4.5 million living species ( Chapman 2005 ). The extraordinary number of insects is well known—there are estimated to be more than 10 times as many species of insects than there are of all the deuterostomes and lophotrochozoans put together—yet even had the founder of the insect lineage been eaten by a passing frog, the nematodes and the rest of the arthropods (myriapods, chelicerates and crustaceans) would still easily outnumber all other living animals by close to a quarter of a million species ( Chapman 2005 )."

The Crustacia will be discussed with the playa sub-community, which is a temporary pond or lake. The phylum Arthropoda is characterized by having paired jointed appendages, which is what the name arthropod means. The arthropods jointed appendages and bilateral segmented body is covered by an exoskeleton made of chitin. Chitin is a carbohydrate that is so resistant to being decomposed that the exoskeleton s of dead arthropods can lay around the desert for months. Internally, arthropods have an open circulatory system, consisting of a heart with valved openings and tubes emptiing into the body cavity. They have a complete tubular digestive system, with a mouth and an anus. The nervous system consists of a brain, a pair of nerve cords that go around the digestive system to meet below the digestive system, and paired nerve cords extending along the ventral side of the body. The respiratory and excretory systems vary with arthropods. Arthropods are the largest phylum in the animal kingdom; there are more types of arthropods than all other types of animals combined."

Arthropods contain a host of well-known multi-legged creatures including arachnids (spiders), millipedes and crustaceans (ocean lobsters and crabs). This exoskeleton makes up the entire surface of the insect's body, put together by separate plates meeting the joints of the body and legs. Arthropods do have muscles within the exoskeleton, but the muscles attach to the exoskeleton itself (as opposed to muscles attaching to ligaments and tendons, which attach themselves to bones in a human body. Movement is accomplished through these moving muscles, which in turn, move the plated exoskeleton parts. Exoskeletons are primarily made of a substance known as 'chitin', which is comparable to our real-world plastic. This substance is made to be \"\"self-moistured\"\" to prevent the surface of the insect from drying out.

In your answer discuss one of the systems (digestive, nervous, excretory, respiratory or reproductive)Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: First off look at the species of Arthropods and Annelids and then pick one of each to look at in more detail and compare. An annelid is something like an earthworm, whereas an arthropod would be an insect. Some insects are secondary consumers, I think most annelids are primary consumers. Insects need a more specialised berve system, that branches into their limbs. Annelids are basically long tubes so the nervous system is less complex. Also look at the brain structure, size and place if you choose to do the nervous system. Insects have a network of trachaea through their body to get oxygen, annelids take in oxygen through their skin. Respiration is more than where the oxygen comes from though, so look closer. I remember something about spiders having book lungs (spiders are arachnids, arachnae is a class of the order arthropoda)."

Painful, severe ascites can be due to peritoneal diseases such as malignancy or tuberculosis. In such cases, however, the peritoneal fluid usually shows cells suggesting inflammation or malignancy. This patient's ascitic fluid had very few cells. Also, in ascites due to malignancy or infection, the SAAG is usually < 1.1. This helpful number, calculated by subtracting the albumin concentration in the ascitic fluid from the albumin concentration in the serum, reliably tells the clinician whether portal hypertension is present (SAAG > 1.1) or absent (SAAG < 1.1). Ascites due to the following diseases is usually associated with SAAG < 1.1: peritoneal malignancy, peritoneal tuberculosis, pancreatic ascites, renal disease, and severe hypoalbuminemia (malnutrition, protein-losing enteropathy, or nephrotic syndrome). The SAAG of 1.4 in this patient suggests that the painful ascites is due to portal hypertension. Pressure in the portal venous system rises when the flow of blood from the portal vein, through the hepatic sinusoids and out the hepatic veins, is impeded. Subacute severe portal hypertension with ascites can be seen with prehepatic (ie, portal vein thrombosis or occlusion), hepatic (ie, fulminant hepatic failure, infiltrative malignancy or infection, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome), or posthepatic (ie, hepatic vein obstruction -- Budd-Chiari syndrome) causes."

"text": "Abstract Full Text Figures References Cited by PDFKeywords: FDG = fluorine 18 fluoro-2-deoxy- d -glucose ; H-E = hematoxylin-eosin LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR TEST 1 Section: Choose prevnext After reading this article and taking the test, the will be able to:•. Describe the clinical and pathologic features of secondary peritoneal tumors and tumorlike lesions.•. Identify the cross-sectional imaging patterns of secondary peritoneal tumors.•. Discuss the differential diagnosis of secondary peritoneal tumors and tumorlike lesions. Introduction Section: Choose prevnext The peritoneum is a serosal membrane that encases the peritoneal cavity, composes the mesenteries, and partially or completely covers the abdominal and pelvic viscera. The developmental origins, histologic features, and functions of the peritoneum are identical to those of other serosal membranes, the pleura, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis. Consequently, similar tumors and tumorlike lesions that affect the peritoneum can also be found in the pleura, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis. The major difference between the peritoneum and other serosal membranes lies in its complex anatomic relationship with the visceral organs of the abdomen and their supporting mesenteries. Consequently, the peritoneum is exclusively involved in the spread of disease within the abdomen because it lines the peritoneal cavity and composes the mesenteries that divide the peritoneal cavity into spaces. The anatomic compartmentalization of the peritoneum by the attachments of the mesenteries dictates the distribution and flow of fluid within the abdomen and pelvis. The flow of fluid within the peritoneal cavity directly affects the anatomic location and distribution of secondary disease processes. The pathologic processes that may secondarily affect the peritoneum and peritoneal cavity can be loosely categorized into three broad groups: metastatic neoplasms, infectious and inflammatory lesions, and miscellaneous tumors and tumorlike lesions. The purpose of this article is to review the normal anatomic spaces within the peritoneal cavity; the flow of peritoneal fluid; and the clinical, pathologic, and imaging characteristics of the tumors and tumorlike lesions that secondarily involve the peritoneal cavity."

While this type of water retention is usually harmless, fluid accumulation in the abdomen signals a health problem that requires medical evaluation. Water retention in the abdomen -- known medically as ascites -- most commonly occurs due to liver disease. Other possible causes include cancer, cardiovascular disease, kidney failure and infection. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Cirrhosis Cirrhosis describes severe scarring of the liver that distorts its normal structure and can eventually lead to liver failure. Advanced cirrhosis is the most common cause of ascites, accounting for roughly 75 to 80 percent of cases. Cirrhosis impairs blood flow through the liver. This results in increased pressure in the blood vessels of the abdomen that flow into the liver, a condition called portal hypertension (PHT). PTH triggers a series of events that culminate in sodium and water retention, frequently leading to ascites over time. Cirrhosis occurs for many reasons."

Clinical presentation Patients with a large volume of ascites can present with abdominal distension (which may be painful), nausea, vomiting, dyspnoea and peripheral oedema 7, 9. Pathology Ascitic fluid is traditionally characterised as either:transudate: thin, low protein count and low specific gravityexudate: high protein count and specific gravity More recently, the concept of the serum-ascites albumin gradient has been shown to be more accurate in the classification of the causes of ascites 5. For the purposes of simplicity, however, we maintain the former classification. Aetiology Causes of transudative ascites:hepatic cirrhosisalcoholic hepatitisheart failure (CCF)hypoproteinaemiaportal vein thrombosisperitoneal dialysismalignancy (~10% of refractory ascites) 7, 9most commonly: breast, ovarian, endometrial, gastrointestinal and pancreatic 7Causes of exudative ascites:peritoneal carcinomatosispancreatitisabscessnephrotic syndromeperitonitis, e.g. tuberculosisischaemic bowelbowel obstruction Radiographic features Plain radiograph Detection of intraperitoneal fluid on a plain radiograph requires at least 500 m L to be present.

When a woman is in her childbearing years, the ovaries alternate to produce andrelease an egg each month during the menstrual cycle. The released egg is picked up by theadjacent fallopian tube, and continues down toward the uterus. The ovaries also produce andsecrete the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, which regulate the menstrual cycleand pregnancy, as well as support the development of the secondary female sexualcharacteristics (breasts, body shape, and body hair). During pregnancy and when women takecertain medications, such as oral contraceptives, the ovaries are given a rest from their usualmonthly duties.

Go to: Abstract Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a term used to describe widespread metastases of cancerous tumors in the peritoneal cavity. It is most common in carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and ovaries, and must be considered to be the main diagnosis even when the primary is not known. A wide variety of disease processes mimic peritoneal carcinomatosis. Precise diagnosis based on imaging alone is often difficult and very often the final diagnosis is only obtained after appropriate histopathology or microbiology. Keywords: Carcinomatosis, neoplastic, peritoneal Go to: Introduction Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a metastatic manifestation of many organ-based malignancies, particularly carcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and ovaries, and must be considered as the first possibility even in the absence of a known primary. There are several neoplastic and non-neoplastic conditions that may mimic peritoneal carcinomatosis on CT scan. These include lymphomas, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), granulomatous infections like tuberculosis, and primary peritoneal malignancies such as mesotheliomas. Go to: Discussion Peritoneal carcinomatosis Peritoneal carcinomatosis without distant metastases represents locoregional disease and calls for aggressive locoregional treatment."

The most common cause of ascites is advanced liver disease or cirrhosis. Approximately 80% of the ascites cases are thought to be due to cirrhosis. Although the exact mechanism of ascites development is not completely understood, most theories suggest portal hypertension (increased pressure in the liver blood flow) as the main contributor. The basic principle is similar to the formation of edema elsewhere in the body due to an imbalance of pressure between inside the circulation (high pressure system) and outside, in this case, the abdominal cavity (low pressure space). The increase in portal blood pressure and decrease in albumin (a protein that is carried in the blood) may be responsible in forming the pressure gradient and resulting in abdominal ascites. Other factors that may contribute to ascites are salt and water retention. The circulating blood volume may be perceived low by the sensors in the kidneys as the formation of ascites may deplete some volume from the blood. This signals the kidneys to reabsorb more salt and water to compensate for the volume loss. Some other causes of ascites related to increased pressure gradient are congestive heart failure and advanced kidney failure due to generalized retention of fluid in the body."

Alcohol and viral hepatitis B and C are common causes of cirrhosis, although there are many other causes. Cirrhosis can cause weakness, loss of appetite, easy bruising, yellowing of the skin ( jaundice ), itching, and fatigue. Diagnosis of cirrhosis can be suggested by history, physical examination and blood tests, and can be confirmed by liver biopsy. Complications of cirrhosis include edema and ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, bleeding from varices, hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, hepatopulmonary syndrome, hypersplenism, and liver cancer. Treatment of cirrhosis is designed to prevent further damage to the liver, treat complications of cirrhosis, and preventing or detecting liver cancer early. Transplantation of the liver is an important option for treating patients with advanced cirrhosis. Quick Guide Digestive Disorders: Common Misconceptions Symptoms of Cirrhosis of the Liver Individuals with cirrhosis may have few or no symptoms and signs of liver disease. Some of the symptoms may be nonspecific, that is, they don't suggest that the liver is their cause. Some of the more common symptoms and signs of cirrhosis include: Yellowing of the skin (jaundice) due to the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood Fatigue Weakness Loss of appetite Itching Easy bruising from decreased production of blood clotting factors by the diseased liver."

Kim, MD Lily Lai, MDNov 1, 2015Cancer Management Malignant Ascites Malignant ascites results when there is an imbalance in the secretion of proteins and cells into the peritoneal cavity and absorption of fluids via the lymphatic system. Greater capillary permeability as a result of the release of cytokines by malignant cells increases the protein concentration in the peritoneal fluid. Recently, several studies have demonstrated higher levels of VEGF, a cytokine known to cause capillary leak, in the sera and effusions of patients with malignancies. Signs and Symptoms Patients with malignant ascites usually present with anorexia, nausea, respiratory compromise, and immobility. Complaints of abdominal bloating, heaviness, and ill-fitting clothes are common. Weight gain despite muscle wasting is a prominent sign. Diagnosis A malignant etiology accounts for only 10% of all cases of ascites. Nonmalignant diseases causing ascites include liver failure, congestive heart failure, and occlusion of the inferior vena cava or hepatic vein. About one-third of all patients with malignancies will develop ascites. Malignant ascites has been described with many tumor types but is most commonly seen with gynecologic neoplasms (~50%), gastrointestinal malignancies (20% to 25%), and breast cancer (10% to 18%)."

Definition The organs of the abdomen are contained in a sac or membrane called the peritoneum. Normally the peritoneal cavity contains only a small amount of fluid, although in women this can vary (by 20ml, or less than an ounce) depending on the menstrual cycle. \"\" Ascites is the term used to denote increased fluid in the peritoneal cavity, a situation that is not normal. There are a variety of diseases that can cause the fluid to accumulate and the reasons that the ascites occurs may be different for each disease. Cancer that spreads to the peritoneum can cause direct leakage of fluid, while other illnesses cause an excess accumulation of water and sodium in the body. This fluid can eventually leak into the peritoneal cavity. Most commonly, ascites is due to liver disease and the inability of that organ to produce enough protein to retain fluid in the bloodstream as well as obstruction to flow through the scarred cirrhotic liver. Normally, water is held in the bloodstream by oncotic pressure."

The general nature of these symptoms make the diagnosis of early pancreatic cancer is very difficult. Proceeding to a medical evaluation often requires a high index of suspicion by the patient or by medical personnel who are experienced with the presentation of pancreatic cancer. A. Pain The fear of pain is the leading concern of most patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Often a vague mid-abdominal pain is one of the first symptoms of pancreatic cancer. There is no fixed pattern, but often, over time, the pain of pancreatic cancer may move or radiate more through the abdomen to the back area. Inadequately treated pain can have profound negative effects on the psychosocial and even physical well-being of pancreatic cancer patients, and may subject patients to unnecessary anxiety and even depression. On the positive side, there have never been more options for good pain relief, and in the vast majority of patients excellent pain control can be maintained by cooperative efforts with the help of an enlightened health-care team. Since the publication of the World Health Organization’s suggested three-step analgesic “ladder” for pain control in 1986, pain is often classified as mild, moderate or severe."

Often price plays a role. The challenge is, how do you compare two service models that are on the surface somewhat similar and yet completely different in design? An insured contract is made up of a number of different constituent parts. These include claims administration, commissions, funding a reserve, risk charge, general administration, profit charges, inflation trends and taxes. The sum of all these parts reflects the billed premium charged to the client. The final number is expressed as a target loss ratio (TLR), which represents the costs that must be covered by the premiums to maintain the policy. By extrapolation, a TLR may be expressed as a percentage (i.e., 75% of premium). If the difference between 75% and 100% (the logical sum of all parts in a contract) is 25%, does that mean that the cost to the client to maintain the plan is 25%? No."

"text": "Self-Funded Dental Benefits – A Creative Option for Employersby Jason Szczuka As the cost of providing employee medical and dental benefits continues to rise, employers of all sizes are looking for choices. And for a growing number of California employers, self-insuring dental benefits is a cost-effective option. In fact, a significant number of Californians are already covered under self-insurance arrangements. The California Healthcare Foundation reports that 36% of Californians were enrolled in a self-funded or partially self-funded plan in 2013. Dental benefits have long been valued as a natural accompaniment to medical coverage, and they remain a core component of employer-sponsored benefit programs. A Group Purchaser Behavior Study by the National Association of Dental Plans (NADP) found that employees rated dental benefits as the third most important kind of benefit, behind health/medical insurance and retirement savings plans such as 401 (k)s. The NADP also found that 49% of employees ranked dental benefits as “essential” while 47% saw it as a “differentiator” for employers. Benefit advisors nationwide are getting asked a multitude of questions about federal health care reform and its effect on costs. Uncertainty over the Affordable Care Act and the growth of state-run health care exchanges is driving employer interest in plan choices that help them contain costs. In 2014, many answers remain elusive mainly because the demographics of the enrollees in the exchanges are not yet clear and the mandates on employers to offer coverage have been delayed to 2015 at the earliest."

We discuss the major differences so that you can be better informed when meeting with respective vendors. Smaller companies in particular are comparing PEO vs ASO in order to reduce their administrative overhead, lower process costs, stay in compliance, create greater operating efficiencies and perhaps reduce HR & payroll headcount in some cases. What is a PEO? A professional employer organization (PEO) is a firm that provides a service where the employer outsources all human capital management tasks. This might include employee benefits administration, payroll and workers' compensation, recruiting, risk/safety management, and training and development. The PEO does this by hiring a client company's employees, thus becoming their employer of record for tax and insurance purposes. This practice is known as joint employment or co-employment. The client company continues to manage the employees' day-to-day activities."

The average monthly amount received per enrollee is currently calculated as 95 percent of the average costs to deliver medical care in the fee-for-service sector. It is the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ (CMS's) best estimate of the amount of money care costs for Medicare recipients under fee-for-service Medicare in a given area. The AAPCC is made up of 122 different rate cells; 120 of them are factored for age, sex, Medicaid eligibility, institutional status, and whether a person has both part A and part B of Medicare. Separate AAPCCs are calculated - usually at the county level - for Part A services and Part B services for the aged, disabled, and people with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Adjustments are made so that the AAPCC represents the level of spending that would occur if each county contained the same mix of beneficiaries. Medicare pays health plans 95 percent of the AAPCC, adjusted for the characteristics of the enrollees in each plan. See also Medicare Risk.

Self-funding is an option for employers who want more financial control, flexible plan design, and can take on risk. Self-funded plans can be customized based on utilization and experience that caters to the specific health needs of the employee population. Self-funded plans are not subject to state-mandated coverage requirements, so employers can offer uniform, tailored benefits to all employees, regardless of the state in which the employees are located. The benefits of self-funded plans administered by Blue Shield of California include: Access to one of the largest PPO provider networks in California, with competitive discounts. Employees enjoy broad access to care and services. Enrollment and eligibility assistance to help implement plans smoothly. Customer service, claims adjudication, and responsive support, all backed by robust technology. Reporting and strategic services that help project claim costs, track trends, and find opportunities for benefit plan and service efficiencies.

Tough times: With-profit investors have had a rough ride By early February, 4m savers will find out how well their investments have grown in the past year. All of Aviva's 2m and Standard Life's 1m policyholders, as well as customers at Friends Provident, which owns Axa's old with-profits business, will get an announcement on this year's bonus rates before 2 February. Millions more policyholders at other big insurers, such as Legal & General and Prudential, will learn their fate later in February and through until June. With-profits have suffered a damning critique in recent years, as under-performance and an out-dated opaqueness have relegated them to the dustbin of modern financial services. Having been the bedrock of Britain's savings map in the 80s and 90s with profits now suffer a poor reputation. So, is now the time for dyed-in-the-wool investors to get out of with profits? According to the Phoenix Group, which buys up closed with-profit funds and nurses them until all policies have matured, the answer in most cases is 'no'. Kevin Arnott, director of with-profit management at Phoenix said: 'Some policies have very valuable guarantees built into them."

Many of the Westlake, Ohio-based company's clients were on what chief marketing officer Andy Lembach calls the “hamster wheel” “Every year, everyone dreads shopping for the next plan (during) open enrollment,” Lembach said. “ And you get a bunch of quotes from people, you go with the cheapest one, and then the next year they jack up the rates, and then you're in this vicious (cycle) and you're doing it all over again. There's seemingly no control.” Last year, Spooner, which employs about 130 people, switched to self-funded health insurance, a model in which an employer provides health benefits to employees with its own funds. It's typically a cheaper option, but the employer then assumes the risk for paying claims, versus the traditional fully insured model in which insurance carriers bear that risk. The self-funded option emerged for large, multistate employers after the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 exempted self-funded plans from state regulation, said Mike Ferguson, president of the Self-Insurance Institute of America. The option has migrated down market ever since, with midsize and smaller companies making the switch from fully insured benefits. That has accelerated through health care reform. “ Companies are certainly seeing a lot of disruption in the marketplace over the last several years,” Ferguson said. “"

All plans that provide medical coverage to employees owe this fee. Medical coverage includes PPOs, HMOs, POS, HDHPs, and HRAs. The fee does not apply to: Stand-alone dental and vision plans (stand-alone means these benefits are elected separately from medical and have discrete premiums, or the benefits are provided under separate policies from the medical coverage)Life insurance Short and long term disability and accident insurance Long term care Health FSAs to which only employee contributions are made, or to which limited employer contributions are made (the employer contribution cannot exceed the greater of $500 or a match of the employee's contribution)Health savings accounts Hospital indemnity or specified illness coverage EAP and wellness programs that do not provide significant medical care or treatment Stop-loss coverage Does the fee apply to all medical plans?

"text": "Employer HRA Reporting Requirement Employer HRA Reporting Requirement September 2, 2015In the recent draft instructions released by the IRS in regards to employer reporting on Forms 1094 and 1095, the IRS indicates that reporting is required for health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) integrated with fully-insured plans. This comes as a bit of a surprise to many who assumed that HRAs integrated with a major medical plan, regardless of funding method, would be considered “supplemental coverage” and not require any reporting. This guidance affects reporting requirements for both small employers and applicable large employers offering HRAs integrated with a fully-insured medical plan. Background Beginning in 2016, the ACA requires employers and insurance companies to report certain plan and coverage information to the IRS on Forms 1095 and 1094. Section 6055 of the Code requires reporting of coverage-related information for individuals enrolled in a minimum essential coverage plan. This portion of the reporting will be completed either on Part III of Form 1095-C, or in some cases, with an alternative Form 1095-B. For fully-insured coverage, the 6055 reporting will be handled by the insurance carrier, but for self-funded coverage, this portion of the reporting is the responsibility of the plan sponsor (typically the employer). More information on the 6055 reporting requirements are contained in the IRS FAQ, which can be found here. Note that applicable large employers are also responsible for the 6056 reporting on offer of coverage information. Employers use different sections and types of Form 1095 to report both Section 6055 and 6056 information depending on the requirements that apply to that particular employer. Reporting Required for HRAs Integrated with a Full-Insured Health Plan“Minimum essential coverage” includes most self-funded group health plans, but does not include excepted benefits (such as stand-alone dental or vision coverage)."

The simple answer is yes. You owe it to yourself and your company to make sure that you explore all options. What you may find surprising, is that this may actually be a really good idea too. There really is only Fully-Insured or Self-Insured Fully-Insured: The vast majority of companies under 300 employees (and really a majority overall) purchase a traditional “Fully-Insured” product, where the insurance company provides a health plan and they set a fixed price per employees and dependents. Every year, that plan will offer a renewal at either the same price, a higher price or in the rare occurrence, a lower price. Self-Insured: But for 41% of Large Companies (covering a much higher percentage of actual workers) are on a “Self-Insured” health plan. And “Self-Insured” can come in many different flavors. Self-Insured health plans still contract with an outside administrator ( most often a Brand Name like Aetna, Blue Cross, Cigna, etc…..) that handles the member service functions as well as processing claims & payments. Where Self-Insured plans start to differ is in how much of the employee’s claims the Employer becomes directly responsible to pay & and how much engagement is required of the employer in the claims payment transactions."

Share Tweet Share Email Print Comments Advertisement ELYRIA — Lorain County and cities of Lorain and Elyria have joined a class-action lawsuit against Medical Mutual of Ohio which accuses the insurance company of charging hidden service fees to fund a Cleveland Clinic incentive program. The suit was filed Tuesday in the Lorain County Court of Common Pleas by attorney Eric Zagrans, who is representing Lorain County, Elyria and Lorain. Zagrans said it is believed that more than 500 other entities across the state, including Lorain County, Elyria and Lorain, may have fallen victim to a scheme in which hidden and unexplained fees were charged and used to pay incentive payments to Cleveland Clinic-affiliated doctors. Zagrans said the Cleveland Clinic, which is not a party in the lawsuit, entered into a program called Quality Alliance several years ago in an effort to improve quality of care given by clinic-affiliated doctors who aren’t employed by the hospital. “The clinic wanted to give the doctors who were affiliated an incentive to implement quality control measures, the same as what the employed doctors do at the clinic,” Zagrans said. Zagrans said it is believed Medical Mutual agreed to put money toward the Cleveland Clinic’s payment obligations to affiliated doctors on the Quality Alliance program. The suit alleges that the various counties and cities were never told of the arrangement, and the charges were passed on to those entities, who were unwittingly left footing the bill for the incentive program. Medical Mutual of Ohio could not immediately be reached for comment regarding the lawsuit. Zagrans said when an employer buys a product from an insurance company it can usually choose from two products. In the first scenario, employers can purchase health insurance in which they pay a premium and the insurance company pays for the cost of all the covered services that employees of the employer need."

"text": "Add MEC and MVP to your ACA glossary May 12, 2014 No Comments by Janet VAs your ASO explores strategies to comply with health care reform and you discuss the law with employer customers, two acronyms – MEC and MVP – are critical to know and understand. Each refers to a specific type of group health insurance plan, and while both offer employers options to avoid ACA penalties, they have very different meanings and insurance protection for employees. First, a brief refresher on employer mandate penalties …The “Sub A” annual excise tax penalty of $2,000 is assessed on an Applicable Large Employer’s (ALE’s) entire count of full-time employees (minus the first 80 in 2015 and the first 30 in 2016 and beyond) if the ALE does not provide a group health insurance plan to enough of its full-time employees and dependents, and at least one full-time employee buys subsidized health insurance through the Marketplace. “ Enough ” equates to 70% of full-time employees in 2015 and 95% in 2016 and beyond. This is often referred to as the $2,000 penalty. For Applicable Large Employers that offer coverage to at least 95% of their full-time employees and dependents (or at least 70% in 2015), the “Sub B” annual excise tax penalty of $3,000 is applied for each individual full-time employee who buys subsidized health insurance through the Marketplace. This is often referred to as the $3,000 penalty. Minimum Essential Coverage MEC stands for Minimum Essential Coverage and includes preventive care and wellness benefits only. Through an ACA loophole, Applicable Large Employers can offer self-funded, low-cost MEC plans (priced under $100 per employee per month) and satisfy the employer mandate to offer a group plan, thus avoiding the $2,000 penalty, but remaining open to the $3,000 penalty. MEC plans also satisfy the individual mandate for employees."

By This Is Money Updated: 12:59 EDT, 28 July 2011View comments If you're a mother-to-be who is an employee, you have the right to maternity leave. Mothers have the right to 26 weeks of 'Ordinary Maternity Leave' and 26 weeks of 'Additional Maternity Leave'. That's a total of 52 weeks. Your employers may offer their own maternity leave scheme - check your contract of employment or staff handbook, or ask your employer's HR department. Typically this will involve your company delivering some extra pay or benefits on top of your official entitlements. Helping hand: Maternity pay means working mums can take time off to care for their newborn - but it's not much and it is taxed You are entitled to up to 39 weeks of statutory maternity pay. The first six weeks of this is paid at 90% of your salary, after which you get £128.73 per week. Note that any employer's scheme must pay at least as much as statutory maternity pay.

"text": "Benefits of Self-Funded Plans Leave a Comment July 12th, 2012 Categories: Business Analytics • Insurance Industry • Self-Funded Approximately 150 million Americans are covered under private employer sponsored health insurance and more than 50% of them are insured through self-funded health plans. With 77 million individuals in the US covered by self-funded plans, an increase of 20% from 2008 to 2010, it is clear that self-funding is an increasingly popular option for many employers. Employers choosing to self-fund their health plans have the following advantages: Self funded plans have lower administrative costs with better cash flow created by paying claims as they occur. Avoiding Insurance company profit margins and risk charges allow companies to have more control over costs. Employers often find that administrative costs for a self-funded plan through a third party administrator are lower than those being charged by a carrier under a fully-insured program. Self-funded employers are afforded more flexibility in the design of their benefit plans. This helps to control of cost, quality and levels of service for each component of their plan. Decision making on what to include and how to adjust spending on certain aspects of the benefit plan can be directly determined by data received from utilization reports and claim information. Self-funded plans incur lower taxes than other health plans. In most states, there is no premium tax applied to the employer's claim fund, thus an immediate savings equal to the amount of the premium tax (approximately 2% to 3%) is realized."

"text": "Dear Alice,Why do many doctors and nurses say aspirin is bad for you? They say to take Advil or some other pain killer instead.— Pain killing confused Dear Pain killing confused,All those different brands, varieties, and strengths filling the shelves at the drugstore can give anyone a headache! While there may be a hundred different color boxes and bottles on the shelf, there are basically four different types of non-prescription pain-relievers, otherwise known as analgesics. Each has their benefits and drawbacks, and which works best for you will depend on your own particular health concerns. The big four are aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and naproxen. Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, is the oldest analgesic on the market. Aspirin is an NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it is often used to treat arthritis, toothaches, and other pains aggravated by inflammation. It is also used to treat minor body aches and pains, headaches, and reduce fevers."

"text": "Acetaminophen Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: Andrew S. The drug acetaminophen is a pain reliever (an analgesic ) and a fever- reducing agent (an antipyretic). It is found in over-the-counter medicines such as Tylenol and Excedrin. It is widely used to treat both chronic and acute pain and is considered to have a pain-relieving potency similar to that of other over-the-counter analgesics, such as aspirin and ibuprofen. Its chemical name is 4-hydroxyacetanalide. Its chemical formula is C 8 H 9 NO 2 (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Structure of acetaminophen. Acetaminophen was used as a pain reliever as early as the late 1800s. It was approved for use by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration in 1950, shortly after it was discovered that the closely related drug paracetin was broken down in the body to acetaminophen, and that the beneficial effects of paracetin were actually the effects of acetaminophen. Acetaminophen works by inhibiting the synthesis of chemical messengers called prostaglandins, which help to transmit pain signals and induce fever."

Listing of generic (chemical) and corresponding brand names of analgesics classified by types. Non-Narcotic Analgesics Acetaminophen is not classified as an NSAID because it only exerts weak anti-inflammatory effects. Generic name Brand names Acetaminophen (Paracetamol) Tylenol, Acephen, Actamin, Apacet, Genapap, Feverall, Halenol, Panadol, Panex, Paramol, Pediapap, Redutemp, Q-Pap, Tactinal, Tempra, Tylophen, Uniserts Metamizole (Dipyrone) (banned in US, Japan, Australia) Novalgin, Analgin, Berlosin, Dipirona, Metalgin, Metamizol-Puren, Novaminsulfon NSAIDs Non-Steroidal Anti Iinflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) reduce pain and inflammation by reducing the production of prostaglandins (pro-inflammatory chemicals) through inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). Prostaglandins are released by the damaged tissue, that is at the source of the pain, therefore NSAIDs are classified as peripherally acting analgesics 1.

"text": "The effects of over-the-counter analgesics on orthodontic tooth movement Back to clinical articles USA By Kristina Sakas, USA June 21, 2013By far the most frequently asked question in every orthodontic office is, “When are my braces coming off?” In the fast-paced, busy lives of patients, there is little time to spend on lengthy orthodontic therapy. In the ever-advancing field of orthodontics, many barriers have been overcome, leading to healthier results and more beautiful smiles. Now, the focus is on reducing treatment time (Proffit, 2013). Faster care without sacrificing quality would be advantageous in (a) reducing hygiene problems, (b) increasing patient acceptance of treatment plans and (c) creating a higher level of overall treatment satisfaction. This new focus can be seen through the development of techniques such as the accelerated osteogenic orthodontics known as Wilckodontics, and the micropulse technology seen in Accele Dent (Kau, 2011). With the emphasis on shortening treatment time, it is critical that practitioners be aware of all medications that patients are taking that could unknowingly slow down their orthodontic treatment. This must be accomplished by thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history with close attention to medications, including over-the-counter analgesics. Various analgesics taken by patients during orthodontic treatment, including traditional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin and acetaminophen, have been scientifically shown to decrease the rate of tooth movement (Tyrovola, 2001). Mechanism of tooth movement Orthodontic tooth movement is mediated by specific reactions at a cellular level that take place in the tissues surrounding teeth."

"text": "When combined, aspirin and caffeine can act as an enhanced pain reliever. The caffeine doesn't necessarily make the analgesic effects of aspirin more powerful, but it does speed up the relief; caffeine speeds up the heart rate and blood flow, which serves to ferry aspirin throughout the system at a faster rate. Aspirin and caffeine are also combined for use as a weight loss supplement. Ephedrine, caffeine and aspirin (ECA) stacks have long been used in exercise routines. ECA stacks are sometimes packaged and marketed for sale by nutrition companies, although that practice has declined as ECA stacks have come under suspicion for causing heart attacks, strokes and other health problems. Aspirin and caffeine have long been used together as a method for relieving pain. In fact, some companies that manufacture analgesics use caffeine in their products. For example, acetaminophen, a medication use for pain relief and fever reduction, is often combined with caffeine to form an even more effective analgesic. Many medications marketed as headache remedies have both caffeine and aspirin as ingredients as well. Although it's generally safe to take aspirin and caffeine for pain relief, caution should be exercised."

"text": "» Articles » Features Headaches: healthier ways to make the pain go away20 October, 2011By Pat Thomas Natural Health News Got a headache? Take a pill. It’s such an automatic response that most of us never think about it any more. Around 20% of adults suffer from chronic headaches, with migraines comprising 8% of all headaches. Encouraged by advertising that convinces us that pain is the enemy we down handfuls of analgesics (painkillers) each year. Today up to 70% of the population in the West uses analgesics regularly, primarily for headaches, but also for other specific pains and to reduce fever. Women consume more painkillers than men by a huge margin. So confident are we in their pain-deadening properties that analgesics are widely, but wrongly, used to treat other types of ‘pain’ for which they are not recommended – for instance bad moods, anxiety, sleep problems and stress. Headaches are responsible for more visits to general practitioners than any other condition and more drugs are prescribed, or bought over the counter, for headache pain than any other condition. Because chronic headaches tend to strike individuals during their ‘productive’ years, ages 20-50, they are also amongst the most common reasons for missed days at work."

Uses Precautions Interactions Side effects Aspirin, or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is commonly used as a pain reliever for minor aches and pains and to reduce fever. It is also an anti-inflammatory drug and can be used as a blood thinner. People with a high risk of blood clots, stroke, and heart attack can use aspirin long-term in low doses. Aspirin contains salicylate, which derives from willow bark. Its use was first recorded around 400 BCE, in the time of Hippocrates, when people chewed willow bark to relieve inflammation and fever. It is often given to patients immediately after a heart attack to prevent further clot formation and cardiac tissue death. Fast facts on aspirin Here are some key points about aspirin.

Low dosages of salicylates are used primarily for the relief of mild to moderate pain or fever; high dosages are particularly useful for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatoiddisorders. The mechanism of most of the effects of aspirin and other salicylates is inhibition of prostaglandinsynthesis, thus blocking pyretic and inflammatory processes that are mediated by prostaglandins. Aspirin also prolongs bleeding time through its effects on platelets owing to both inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis and acetylation of platelet structures. Salicylates also cause ulceration andhemorrhagic lesions of the gastric mucosa. They act by interfering with the stomach's mucosalbarrier (either directly or possibly by an effect on prostaglandins when given parenterally) so that H +ions leak and there is subsequent damage. Aspirin should not be taken with alcohol, because thisincreases gastrointestinal damage. Aspirin should be avoided by persons with gastric ulcers,hemophilia, or hemorrhagic states, and by children with a viral illness. Another problem associated with the use of salicylates is hypersensitivity."

"text": "Cocaine, Meth, Wreak Havoc With the Blood-Brain Barrierdrugrehab Cocaine, Drug Abuse The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a network of tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that separates the interior of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) from the rest of the body’s circulatory system. This separation is required to help the brain maintain a stable internal environment and function properly; it also helps protect the brain from infectious microorganisms. Cocaine and methamphetamine can significantly damage normal function in the blood-brain barrier; in turn, this damage can open up the brain to infection and other processes that can produce severe or life-threatening changes in brain health. Blood-Brain Barrier Basics Capillaries are the body’s smallest blood vessels. They sit at the junction between the arteries—which carry oxygen-bearing blood to various organs and tissues—and the veins, which carry oxygen-depleted blood and carbon dioxide waste from the organs and tissues to the heart (on the way to their eventual destination point in the lungs). It’s inside the capillaries where exchange of the oxygen and carbon dioxide content in the blood occurs. In every location except the blood-brain barrier, the capillaries have relatively large openings in their walls that allow large and small molecules to move in and out of the bloodstream. This level of access means that any required substance produced in most of the body can easily travel through the bloodstream and get where it needs to go. However, it also means that conditions in the tissues fed by the capillaries can change rapidly and relatively chaotically as different molecules move in and out of circulation. The central nervous system in general (and the brain in particular) can’t handle the sorts of fluctuations that occur when all molecules can flow easily through the capillary walls."

There are special cells in your CNS that do just that: serve, protect, and support other cells. Without these special cells, you'd have quite a lot of trouble with day-to-day activities, like walking, speaking, or eating. Collectively, these cells are known as glial cells. But, there are a lot of subtypes of glial cells we'll get into, and they all have slightly different functions.

"text": "Abstract The blood–brain barrier consists of endothelial cells lining brain capillaries. It serves to restrict and control the movement of substances between the general circulation and brain extracellular fluid. It participates in regulating the volume and composition of fluid surrounding the brain through specific transport processes, and thus contributes to homoeostasis of the central nervous system. Some of these processes may be regulated hormonally, or modulated by adjacent cells including astrocytes. The barrier function of the blood–brain barrier is due to: (1) tight junctions that restrict movement of substances between the endothelial cells, (2) specific transport proteins that determine which substances can cross the barrier transcellularly and (3) enzymes that may degrade or alter substances prior to passage. Systemically administered drugs intended to treat neurological disorders must be designed to bypass the restrictive elements of the blood–brain barrier. Pathological conditions associated with the central nervous system may alter blood–brain barrier function. Key Concepts: The blood–brain barrier regulates brain extracellular fluid. Brain capillaries form a tight barrier except in specialised areas. Tight junctions restrict paracellular movement of substances across the blood–brain barrier."

"text": "\"Home »Biology Six Types of Neuroglia By Natasha Gilani ; Updated April 24, 2017Neuroglia, or glial cells, are part of the nervous system that support neurons by providing them nutrients, oxygen and insulation and by eliminating harmful pathogens. They comprise approximately 15 percent of the total cellular composition of the central nervous system, and are found in all regions of the spinal cord and brain. Schwann Cells According to “Neurocytology: Fine Structure of Neurons, Nerve Processes, and Neuroglial Cells”, schwann cells, or neurolemnocytes, are located in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). They play a supporting role in the nervous system by wrapping around nerve tissue and cells to form a protective myelin sheath (which is comprised of 80 percent lipid and approximately 20 percent protein). Schwann cells are involved in nerve regeneration, repair and development, the conduction of nerve impulses and the provision of antigens to T-lymphocytes (a type of WBC, or white blood cells, that play a role in cell immunity). Satellite Cells Satellite cells, or satellite glial cells (SGCs), surround neurons in the parasympathetic, sympathetic and sensory ganglia. The parasympathetic ganglia are a group of nerve cells that lie outside the central nervous system, and arise from the spinal cord. They are located in or around affected tissues and organs. Sympathetic ganglia form part of the sympathetic nervous system and are comprised of nerves that arise from the lumbar and thoracic regions of the spinal cord. They inform the body about impending danger and stress and prepare it for an appropriate fight-or-flight response."

It is an irritant with a characteristic pungent odor that is widely used in industry. Inasmuch as ammonia is highly soluble in water and, upon inhalation, is deposited in the upper airways, occupational exposures to ammonia have commonly been associated with sinusitis, upper airway irritation, and eye irritation. Acute exposures to high levels of ammonia have also been associated with diseases of the lower airways and interstitial lung.

"text": "Key roles of glia and microglia in age-related neurodegenerative diseases Posted on 3. November 2011 by Vince Giuliano Previously I have written about the roles of glia and microglia in Alzheimer’s disease and in spinal cord injury. This blog entry reports on recent research which documents the importance of glial pathology as a general underlying factor in essentially all age related neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, advanced spinal degeneration, ALS,multiple sclerosis, and several retinal diseases. Background“ Glial cells,, sometimes called neuroglia or simply glia ( Greek γλία, γλοία “glue”; pronounced in English either /gliːə/ or /glaɪə/ ), are non- neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, formmyelin, and provide support and protection for the brain’s neurons. In the human brain, there is roughly one glia for every neuron with a ratio of about two neurons for every glia in the cerebral gray matter. [ 1] — As the Greek name implies, glia are commonly known as theglue of the nervous system; however, this is not fully accurate. Neuroscience currently identifies four main functions of glial cells: to surround neurons and hold them in place, to supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons, to insulate one neuron from another, and to destroypathogens and remove dead neurons. For over a century, it was believed that they did not play any role in neurotransmission. That idea is now discredited; [2] they do modulate neurotransmission, although the mechanisms are not yet well understood [2] [3] [4] ( ref ).” In addition, as we will see, glia play several key roles required for maintenance of nervous system health."

Overview The nervous system has two anatomical subdivisions: Central Nervous System (CNS) – The CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The CNS integrates, processes and coordinates. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) – The PNS is all of the nervous tissue outside of the CNS. The PNS can be further subdivided into: Afferent Division – Receptors of various kinds provide sensory input to the CNS. Efferent Division – carries motor commands effectors that include muscle cells and gland cells. The efferent division can be divided into: Somatic Nervous System (SNS) – The SNS controls skeletal muscle contractions. Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) – The ANS regulates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glandular activity. Cellular Organization in Neural Tissue Neural tissue contains two cell types:1. Neurons – These cells transfer and process information.2."

"text": "Heterogeneity of astroglia Astrocytes (literally ‘star-like cells’) are the most numerous and diverse neuroglial cells in the CNS. While most neuroscientists think they know what an astrocyte is, there is no uniform and unequivocal definition of an astrocyte. Not all astrocytes are star-like cells, not all of them express the specific marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), not all contact brain capillaries. Astrocytes are actually the cell population in the brain which are left over after one would remove neurons, oligodendrocytes and microglial cells. Thus astrocytes display a remarkable heterogeneity in their morphology and function. Conceptually astroglial cells are as heterogeneous as neurons and astrocytes in different brain regions may have very different physiological properties. Morphology of astrocytes Morphology of astrocytes is highly heterogeneous. Some astrocytes do have a star-like appearance, with several primary (also called stem) processes originating from the soma, although many more morphological profiles exist. An archetypal morphological feature of astrocytes is their expression of intermediate filaments, which form the cytoskeleton. The main types of astroglial intermediate filament proteins are glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin; expression of GFAP is commonly used as a specific marker for the identification of astrocytes."

[ 1] Microglia account for 10–15% of all cells found within the brain. [ 2] As the resident macrophage cells, they act as the first and main form of active immune defence in the central nervous system (CNS). [ 3] Microglia (and other neuroglia including astrocytes) are distributed in large non-overlapping regions throughout the CNS. [ 4] [5] Microglia are key cells in overall brain maintenance—they are constantly scavenging the CNS for plaques, damaged or unnecessary neurons and synapses, and infectious agents. [ 6] Since these processes must be efficient to prevent potentially fatal damage, microglia are extremely sensitive to even small pathological changes in the CNS. [ 7] This sensitivity is achieved in part by the presence of unique potassium channels that respond to even small changes in extracellular potassium. [ 6]The brain and spinal cord, which make up the CNS, are not usually accessed directly by pathogenic factors in the body's circulation due to a series of endothelial cells known as the blood–brain barrier, or BBB. The BBB prevents most infections from reaching the vulnerable nervous tissue. In the case where infectious agents are directly introduced to the brain or cross the blood–brain barrier, microglial cells must react quickly to decrease inflammation and destroy the infectious agents before they damage the sensitive neural tissue."

"text": "Blood-Brain Barrier Tight junctions present in the blood-brain barrier separate circulating blood from cerebrospinal fluid, regulating diffusion into the brain. Learning Objectives Describe the function of the blood-brain barrier Key Takeaways Key Points The blood – brain barrier (BBB) endothelial cells restrict the passage of substances from the bloodstream to a greater extent than endothelial cells in capillaries elsewhere in the body. The BBB results from the selectivity of the tight junctions between endothelial cells in central nervous system (CNS) vessels that restrict the passage of solutes. Several areas of the human brain are not protected by the BBB, including the circumventricular organs. Tight junctions are composed of transmembrane proteins such as occludin and the claudins. The BBB effectively protects the brain from many common bacterial infections. However, since antibodies and antibiotics are too large to cross the BBB, infections of the brain that do occur are often difficult to treat. Key Termsastrocyte: A star-shaped neuroglial cell.claudins: This family of proteins is the most important component of tight junctions, where they establish the paracellular barrier that controls the flow of molecules in the intercellular space between the cells of an epithelium.blood-brain barrier: A structure in the CNS that keeps substances found in the bloodstream out of the brain while allowing in substances essential to metabolic function such asoxygen.occludin: A protein forming the main component of the tight junctions, along with the claudin group of proteins. Examples An exception to the bacterial exclusion are the diseases caused by spirochetes, such as Borrelia, which causes Lyme disease, and Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis. These harmful bacteria seem to breach the BBB by physically tunneling through the blood vessel walls."

"text": "Dr. Benjamin Deneen and Dr. Chad Creighton. Detecting brain tumors at the earliest possible stage and eliminating them before seizures begin might be possible one day, according to research by scientists at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital. In the study, which is published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, the scientists report that the emergence of specific brain cells during brain tumor progression in a mouse model marked the onset of seizures and brain tumor invasion. An improved understanding of how brain tumors cause seizures can potentially lead to strategies to prevent them or treat them. “We began this project by studying normal brain cells,” said co-senior author Dr. Benjamin Deneen, associate professor in the Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at Baylor and the Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital. “ The brain has billions of cells of which only 30 percent are neurons. Astrocytes are the predominant cell type of the remaining 70 percent. Surprisingly, astrocytes have not been studied in as much detail as neurons have. ”“Although astrocytes are often broadly categorized as one cell type, a lot of diversity exists in the functions carried out by these cells,” said co-senior author Dr. Chad Creighton, associate professor of medicine and member of the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center Division of Biostatistics at Baylor. Astrocytes play diverse roles in the brain, from supporting the functions of neurons, participating in synapse formation and function and in the release of neurotransmitters, to making the blood-brain barrier and other functions."

The proportion of astrocytes in the brain is not well defined. Depending on the counting technique used, studies have found that the astrocyte proportion varies by region and ranges from 20% to 40% of all glia. [ 1] They perform many functions, including biochemical support of endothelial cells that form the blood–brain barrier, provision of nutrients to the nervous tissue, maintenance of extracellular ion balance, and a role in the repair and scarring process of the brain and spinal cord following traumatic injuries. Research since the mid-1990s has shown that astrocytes propagate intercellular Ca 2+ waves over long distances in response to stimulation, and, similar to neurons, release transmitters (called gliotransmitters) in a Ca 2+ -dependent manner."

"text": "The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced from arterial blood by the choroid plexuses of the lateral and fourth ventricles by a combined process of diffusion, pinocytosis and active transfer. A small amount is also produced by ependymal cells. The choroid plexus consists of tufts of capillaries with thin fenestrated endothelial cells. These are covered by modified ependymal cells with bulbous microvilli. The total volume of CSF in the adult ranges from140 to 270 ml. The volume of the ventricles is about 25 ml. CSF is produced at a rate of 0.2 - 0.7 ml per minute or 600-700 ml per day. The circulation of CSF is aided by the pulsations of the choroid plexus and by the motion of the cilia of ependymal cells. CSF is absorbed across the arachnoid villi into the venous circulation and a significant amount probably also drains into lymphatic vessels around the cranial cavity and spinal canal. The arachnoid villi act as one-way valves between the subarachnoid space and the dural sinuses."

However our understanding of the biology of glia is in its infancy. How do glia develop and interact with neurons? How diverse are glial populations? What are the primary functions of glia in the mature nervous system? These questions can be addressed incisively in the Drosophila nervous system – this contains relatively few glia, which are well-defined histologically and amenable to powerful molecular–genetic analyses. Here, we highlight several developmental, morphological and functional similarities between Drosophila and vertebrate glia. The striking parallels that emerge from this comparison argue that invertebrate model organisms such as Drosophila have excellent potential to add to our understanding of fundamental aspects of glial biology. Previous article Next article Introduction Glia have emerged as crucial regulators of nervous system development, function and health, yet we are surprisingly ignorant of the genetic programs driving glial cell biology. Invertebrate model organisms such as Drosophila would seem ripe for incisive analysis of glial function and molecular biology, but invertebrate glia are frequently characterized as developmentally and functionally distinct from their vertebrate counterparts."

You really can't go wrong with purchasing an Audi, and I can garuntee you that if you do, you will not be dissapointed. Audis are brilliantly designed and made, by the Germans! The Germans are notorious for their meticulous attention to detail and excellent manufacturing skills. You can count on an Audi to be superbly reliable and good in every weather condition. They can run for such a long time if they are taken care of. They also look excellent, always, I can't think of an Audi that hasn't been beautiful. Audis are all very sporty cars. Audi itself has a racing pedigree, from rally championships with the legendary quattro to victories at Le Mans with there amazing R10."

How many miles is just too many miles? Thom Yorke Aug 20, 2010Thom Yorke New Member9 0 1I've been searching around online for weeks looking at A3 TDI's. I'm really tempted to get a 2003 - 2004 model, and I go through the stages of whether or not I would be happy with a high mileage car. At best i do between 6,000 - 9,000 miles a year, so if I keep the car for 3-4 years then I'd only be adding 18,000 (min) - 36,000 (max) to the total mileage. So am I right to put myself off a diesel with around 100,000 - 110,000 miles? It is a lot of money for me right now but I think it would be a good purchase until I am qualified and earn the big bucks to buy a brand new Audi! I know that these engines are engineered to the best standard, but what sort of things can occur after the 100,000 mark?"

Horsepower gets most of the attention while torque goes about doing the grunt work. Heck, most people don’t even know whether it’s measured in foot-pounds or pound feet. It does, however, get the grunt work done. You wouldn’t imagine a car that weighs over two tons and has but 240 horsepower as the Audi A7 S Line Quattro TDI does to be able to achieve a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds. That’s because the 3 liter turbo diesel V6 also has 428 lb-ft of torque, most of it available in just about every driving situation. The base 2014 A7 TDI quattro is almost $67,000 and this car had about 15K worth of toys added. As the owner of a Chevy Volt once told me, nobody who is buying a $40,000 car is looking to save money on fuel. That literally goes more than double for a car that stickers out to be just shy of $82,000. The TDI A7 is not about great fuel mileage, though the figures are better than respectable, I recorded 26.7 mpg over 490 miles of mostly suburban and urban driving, and 32.3 on a 40 mile jaunt on the Interstate with cruise control set to 79-80 mph."

A luxury car can overcome shortcomings by offering a high level of comfort, amenities, materials and performance, but the Q5 is on the higher side of the price equation for what you get. You can compare the 2013 and 2014 versions here. What you can get in 2014 is an all-new diesel variant called the Q5 TDI. It joins a pair of available gasoline engines, including a turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter six-cylinder. I tested both the TDI and the 3.0 for this review. Exterior & Styling The Q5 perfectly embodies Audi's current design theme in SUV form. The large grille looks more subtle on a higher-riding vehicle than it does on its sedan siblings. The headlights have also been updated, and most trim levels house standard LED running lights and xenon headlamps.

The clutch grabs at the last 14 inch of travel. I have called a local reliable mech and he said it sounds like the clutch is getting close to going. He then quoted me about 1200 if flywheel is ok 1500 if need new flywheel. This seems really high to me. so question Is it worth spending this amount of money on this car or time to sell things to keep in mind timing belt Just had my clutch replaced actually. Got a stage II clutch and lightweight flywheel installed for about 1500. The prices they gave you sound about right. A new clutch should cost you 500-600 then about another 600 in labor (for disconnecting the drivetrain completely removing the tranny then installing you new clutch ). The additional 300 bucks for the new flywheel is really just the cost of the flywheel.you shouldnt even worry about it until it starts slipping."

"text": "Page Alternator, alternator pulley removal, and alternator troubleshooting for VW and Audi Alternator, alternator pulley removal, and alternator troubleshooting for VW and Audi This article shows how to remove the alternator, alternator pulley, voltage regulator, and troubleshoot the charging systemdifficulty: 2/5Introduction Do you have any tips to add to this article? Please post the comment in the myturbodiesel.com VW and Audi TDI forum. Your car's electronics run off a 12 volt direct current system and is recharged by the alternator as the engine runs. The alternator converts alternating current made by the alternator to direct current used by the car. The alternator is driven by a belt coming off the crankshaft pulley (there's no such thing as free energy). If there's an alternator problem the battery will drain which could cause the car to not start or shut down. If you are experiencing a battery problem while driving, find a safe spot to pull over and call for assistance. Depending on how much battery charge is left and how poor the charging issue is, the car could continue to drive for a while further or shut off within minutes. Batteries and alternators are wear items and should be replaced as needed. Some tips here are specific to Volkswagen and Audi but the basic troubleshooting principles apply to most modern cars."

Motoring news magnet More info on Audi A4Is it just us, or does the Audi A4 suffer from snobbery in certain enthusiast circles? Audi’s sleeper hit rarely gets a look in on compact executive group tests, overlooked by more recent, more dynamic rivals from BMW, Mercedes, Lexus and - soon, we’d guess - the new 2015 Jaguar XE. Yet the Audi A4 sells in huge volumes, globally and especially in the UK. Here sales are up 3% so far in 2014, despite a new A4 lurking in the wings for launch in 2015. It’s Audi’s third best-seller here (trailing the A3 and A1). A good time, then, to test the fleet drivers’ favourite, the 2.0-litre turbodiesel saloon. Audi A4 2.0 TDI S Line review The A4 has been around so long we’ve almost become blind to its ubiquity. Audi top brass, from CEO Rupert Stadler to new design chief Marc Lichte, recognise the need for change and we suspect that the new 2015 A4 will move the game on with a refreshed wardrobe. Still, our saloon in Glacier White looks smart, inoffensive, premium."

The general public back then, being not familar with the marque would actually state that \"\"BMW\"\" stood for British Motor Works <grin> However, when the company started more aggressive marketing --into other markets, stretched the size/weight of the cars while loading them up with more plush interiors and gadgets -- they attracted the attention of the \"\"upwardly mobile\"\" crowd that wanted something different. Except for the rare occasion seen in some of the early \"\"M\"\" models that were specially tuned to retain \"\"actual good handling/power ratios\"\" the production cars came to be the subject of the true sports sedan enthusiast's standing joke as \"\"BMW stands for --BIG MONEY WASTED\"\". Of course, the \"\"Suits\"\" were oblivious to this, as they couldn't change a spark-plug if their life depended on it. It was all about \"\"being seen\"\" in a BMW."

Audi is continually building up its lineup of products and services in this technical area – with new solutions such as the Audi connect SIM and the new traffic light information service for the US market. Audi connect In Audi connect, an LTE/UMTS module establishes the connection to the internet with download speeds of up to 100 MBit/s. The integrated Wi-Fi hotspot lets passengers freely surf the web, stream and text/e-mail with up to eight mobile devices. Customized online services from the Audi connect portfolio are delivered to the car for the driver. One of these services is traffic information online – it supplies data on the current traffic flow patterns in real time. If the selected route has good traffic flow, it appears in green in the display; if traffic is heavy or slow-moving it is shown in orange, and traffic jams are highlighted in red. In this case, the service names the problem and suggests an appropriate alternate route. Traffic information online covers not only freeways, but also country highways and city streets.

The good news is, there are cars that will ease the anxiety of their owners with infrequent trips to the shop. According to Consumer Reports, using data from its annual survey of subscribers, the following ten vehicles are the most reliable in the country, and are ordered from most to least reliable. Any of these vehicles should be a solid choice if the most important consideration in your car-buying decision is predicted reliability. That said, they aren't all vehicles that Autoblog's editors would recommend as fun to drive. We've provided links to our own driving impressions on these vehicles where possible.

Well, there's one notable difference: Audi discontinued the optional V6 engine shortly after the current A4 debuted, so the 2014 A4 continues to offer just one engine, a turbocharged 4-cylinder. Until recently, the 4-cylinder A4 was doing just fine, thank you very much. But now other luxury brands have hopped on the turbo 4-cylinder bandwagon, and the A4's engine may be outgunned. Even with an extra 9 horsepower for 2014, Audi's 2.0T motor trails rival turbo 4-cylinders from BMW and Cadillac, and its fuel economy isn't great, either. Also, Volkswagen's CC features a similar 2.0T engine at a steep discount. Still, the A4 has a lot to offer. The optional quattro all-wheel-drive system makes the most of those 220 hp, and the A4 does outperform the 201-hp Mercedes C250. Moreover, Audi has worked wonders with the A4's handling, now close to class-leading in our estimation."

But after the war, the country preferred to see itself as just another of Hitler's victims. By Marion Kraske March 12, 2008 05:23 PMPrint Feedback Suddenly, events began moving in fast-forward: It was 10 minutes to eight in the evening, March 11, 1938, when Austrian chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg took to the radio to address his people. He bade them farewell with portentous words: God protect Austria. The next day at 5:00 a.m., SS leader Heinrich Himmler landed with his staff at the Aspern Airport in Vienna. Shortly thereafter, the German army crossed the border into Austria. Operation Otto, as the military element of the Austrian takeover was known, and the reunification of Austria with the German Reich, as Hitler formulated it for a law decreed earlier that same day, was in full swing. A referendum on the topic of independence, planned by Schuschnigg for March 13, had prompted Hitler to take matters into his hands and push ahead quickly with the solution to the Austria question. Hitler headed first to Linz, where he had spent part of his childhood, and then to Vienna, where excited crowds were forming on the streets. Tens of thousands had gathered to give him a raucous welcome."

"text": "Why did Austria-Hungaria go to war in 1914? The study of the origins of the First World War is still relevant to students today. While the divisions of Europe into the two major blocks of the Cold War seem to be over, the whole world is again preoccupied with the Balkans and its wars. Beside this, another even more current reason appears, showing why especially the Austrian-Serb situation in 1914 is so up-to-date. Several analogies occur with 11. September 2001. The major points are: in both cases a world power is attacked in a malicious and brutal way. It is forced to respond but the lack of clear and convincing evidence makes it difficult to target the reaction. We can assume that the attacked government believes that the moral advantage gets lost with any delay of the counter measure. This becomes very obvious in the Austrian case."

"text": "The Great War is a game variant included with the Triple-A Package. Contents [ show]Description The Great War is a new kind of Triple A variant with a number of differences from the typical Axis and Allies game. More troops, money, and territories makes for a game that is somewhat more involved than Revised A&A. As such, the Great War requires slight adjustments in strategic thinking on the part of players, particularly as concerns Naval Warfare. We’ve used the standard A&A game mechanics with IPCs, but we suggest that players view them more generically as ‘Game Points’ or ‘Strategic Value Points.’ To make the most of things, we recommend PBEM (play by e mail) and with the Low Luck option in place. General Strategy Overview The Allies have the overall economic advantage, but a large portion of their income is tied to convoy lanes, which Germany can take away on Round 1. Another large block of ipcs belongs to the Americans, who must overcome a number of obstacles and cross an ocean before they can get into the fight. This creates a situation where the Central Powers (and especially Germany) have the initial advantage and incentive to attack. The game is set up such that the Central Powers have about 5-6 rounds on an equal footing with the Allies (roughly balanced at around 200 ipcs for each side.) As the underdogs, the Central Powers need to make something happen during this early phase of the game, and gain ground before the Allies recover all their convoy income and start closing in for the kill."

The Romans called them the Boii and they gave their name to Bohemia. Then about 100 AD a Germanic people called the Marcomanni conquered the area. The Romans traded with the Marcomanni and sometimes fought with them but they never conquered this part of the world. In the sixth century a Slavic people entered what is now the Czech Republic. According to legend a man called Cech led them. However for centuries they were only a collection of tribes not a single, united people. However in the 9th century a people called the Moravians from the frontier of the Czech Republic and Slovakia created an empire in Central Europe. It was called the Great Moravian Empire and it included what is now the Czech Republic, Slovakia and parts of Germany and Poland.

In fact, I myself had an autoimmune diseases called Graves. Autoimmune diseases are considered a top 10 leading cause of death in women under the age of 65. They come in many different varieties, including rheumatoid arthritis, type I diabetes, thyroid disease, lupus, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and more, and can cause many different types of symptoms all over the body that range from mild to severe in nature. But what are they, what causes them, and how can they be treated? What are autoimmune diseases? Although there are many different types of autoimmune diseases and they can affect many different organs, at their core they are all similar in that they are an immune response caused by systemic inflammation that leads your body to attack itself. Your immune system has a very sophisticated system for keeping you safe that leads it to identify all of the foreign substances that enter your body or that you come into contact with. If your immune system deems anything dangerous, it will produce antibodies to ward off the harmful intruders. Autoimmune diseases are born when your body is working hard to defend itself against something potentially dangerous, such as an allergen, a toxin, an infection, or even a food, and it fails to differentiate between the intruder and parts of your own body."

Functional Medicine Practitioner January 19, 2015 — 10:28 AMShare on: Autoimmune conditions have grown rapidly the over past years, with more than 50 million Americans living with some sort of autoimmune disorder. I've already covered the multifaceted reasons for the autoimmune explosion we are seeing, and I've also given you some effective tools to reverse autoimmune symptoms and balance your immune system. Now, I want to go over the top triggers that can flare up an autoimmune response and cause devastating symptoms in the body. From full-blown autoimmune diseases like Crohn's, celiac or Hashimoto's disease to common \"\"autoimmune spectrum disorders\"\" like acne, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it's important to know what the potential \"\"land mines\"\" are that can turn on an inflammatory-immune response in your body:1. Gluten The infamous \"\"G\"\" word is a protein that's found in wheat, barley, spelt, rye and other grains. This protein is linked in many different studies to an increase risk of autoimmunity. Many people and their doctors believe you have to have celiac disease to be gluten intolerant. When their labs for Celiac come back negative, they are told that avoiding gluten is not necessary. This antiquated misinformation keeps many people struggling with an autoimmune condition very sick. For many of my autoimmune patients it doesn't have to be a piece of bread or pasta to cause damage either."

Myelofibrosis is a rare disorder characterized by reticulin fibrosis of the bone marrow, which usually occurs in response to clonal proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells in myeloproliferative disorders. However, bone marrow fibrosis has also been described in association with auto-immune diseases, especially SLE. Method We will report here a new case of bone marrow fibrosis associated with SLE. We also reviewed the 27 cases published in the English language literature, and will discuss the clinical presentation, outcome, treatment, and pathophysiology of bone marrow fibrosis occurring in association with SLE. Results Over one half of patients were diagnosed concomitantly with bone marrow fibrosis and SLE. Epidemiological, clinical and biological features of lupus were unremarkable. Except for the presence of reticulin fibrosis, the findings from the bone marrow biopsies proved highly variable."

In the last decade the diagnostic strategy for using TSH measurements has changed as a result of the sensitivity improvements in these assays. It is now recognized that the TSH measurement is a more sensitive test than T4 for detecting both hypo- and hyperthyroidism. 59 As a result, some countries now promote a TSH-first strategy for diagnosing thyroid dysfunction in patients. 60In 2008 many labs adopted the reference range for TSH, 0.45 to 4.50 μIU/m L, recommended by both the Endocrine Society and the American Medical Association. Although this range is an improvement over the previous 0.45-5.5 m IU/L, it is still considered too broad by many clinicians. 59,60,61The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists now recommends an upper limit of 3.0 m IU/L. 61 The guidelines for diagnosing thyroid disease from The National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry point out that \"\"more than 95% of normal individuals have TSH levels below 2.5 [µIU/m L].\"\" 62 This panel suggests that the upper limit of TSH should be reduced to 2.5 µIU/m L. 63On the other hand, current studies also suggest that TSH values below the normal range may represent thyroid hormone excess and, in elderly patients, might be associated with an increased risk of death due to cardiovascular disease. 64,65Life Extension suggests an optimal level of TSH between 1.0 and 2.0 µIU/m L, as some studies have noted that a TSH above 2.0 may be associated with adverse cardiovascular risk factors. 26 In addition, a TSH between 1.0 and 2.0 µIU/m L has been associated with the lowest subsequent incidence of abnormal thyroid function."

"text": "The Problem with Grains and Legumes Prominently situated at the base of the food pyramid, grains are promoted as the fiber-rich foundation of a healthy diet. But are grains really a necessary part of your diet, or can they in fact be harmful? If you have an autoimmune disease, you may already be aware of the fact that gluten, the protein in wheat that gives bread its sticky, doughy texture, is an inflammatory substance. However, wheat is not unique. Many of the plants that we consume contain similar proteins that will increase inflammation in your body and contribute to a leaky gut. Although most people benefit from avoiding foods such as grains, pseudograins, legumes, and nightshades, I recommend for those with an autoimmune disease to omit these foods from their diets, at least until their inflammation has subsided and their gut has healed. The Myers Way Comprehensive Elimination Diet is the best course of action to determine whether or not these foods will be a problem in the future. In order to better understand the potential harmful effects that they can have on your body, it is first necessary to understand the function of grains, pseudograins, and legumes in terms of plant biology. What are grains, pseudograins, and legumes? The grains that we eat are the seeds of the Poaceae family of grasses, commonly called cereal grains or cereal grasses."

Fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, bloating, dry skin, and joint pain are all symptoms (especially in autoimmune thyroid disease) that can persist even while on a gluten free diet. One of the biggest reasons why has to do with gluten’s impact on your thyroid gland. The thyroid makes hormones that regulate your metabolism, and when this gland isn’t working properly, neither are you. Keep reading to learn what you can do…More medical research makes the connection between thyroid disease and gluten……The results of previous studies have indicated that the prevalence of CD is increased in patients with other autoimmune disorders such as: autoimmune thyroid diseases, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and Addison’s disease. A coincidence of the above diseases constitutes autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS). The high prevalence of CD in APS is probably due to the common genetic predisposition to the coexistent autoimmune diseases. The majority of adult patients have the atypical or silent type of the disease. This is the main reason why CD so often goes undiagnosed or the diagnosis is delayed. The authors go on to state that if gluten sensitivity is not diagnosed many of the additional consequences are –haematological ( anemia)metabolical ( osteopenia/osteoporosis)obstetric-gynaecological ( infertility, spontaneous abortions, late puberty, early menopause)neurological ( migraine, ataxia, epilepsy)increased risk of malignancy, especially: lymphoma, small intestine, mouth, and esophageal cancers Source: Endokrynol Pol."

"text": "Do Cruciferous Vegetables Cause Hashimoto’s? When it comes to thyroid dysfunction, one of the questions I hear most often is: are cruciferous vegetables bad for thyroid health? As with any controversial topic, it’s best to evaluate the potential risks and benefits. Although studies are inconclusive, I believe the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in cruciferous vegetables make them an indispensable part of a healthy diet. Thyroid health is crucial for a well-functioning body. Your metabolism, moods, and even aging processes are all affected by your thyroid gland. Because an imbalance in one bodily system causes imbalances in the others, there is no part of you that functions optimally when your thyroid is over- or underactive. Though thyroid disease is generally considered idiopathic (of unknown cause) by most conventional doctors, in functional medicine we know that one or a combination of these factors are to blame: leaky gut, nutrient deficiencies, an inflammatory diet (particularly gluten ), your toxic burden, infections, and stress. If you have thyroid dysfunction I believe that by definition you also have a gluten sensitivity. Gluten shares a similar molecular structure to many of our own tissues, and this causes our body to mistakenly attack itself in a process known as molecular mimicry."

QUESTION: Can the lemon water help autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or vasculitis? ANSWER: I cannot think of any type of autoimmune disease that drinking lemon water would not help for all the reasons listed in my article. As I am sure you know, lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks its tissues, causing inflammation, swelling, pain, and damage. Lupus symptoms vary, and early lupus symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, fever, and a lupus rash, especially after being in the sun. Much of the information I wrote on how lemon water helps endometriosis is relevant to your question, since many experts believe endometriosis is caused by an autoimmune disorder. So you might want to first check out that page and then continue here. I think it is also interesting to note that according to Web MD, 9 out of 10 people who have lupus are women. This tells me that there is a definite connection between the causes of endometriosis and the causes of lupus, especially in regard to the environmental factors that affect women, such as the use of cosmetics and other personal care products. According to Lupus.org: “Vasculitis is an inflammation of the blood vessels."

We’re hearing a whole lot about autoimmune conditions these days, and for good reason: autoimmune disease affects over 80 million people, and there’s been a sharp rise in autoimmune disorders. ( source) In comparison, cancer affects up to 9 million and heart disease up to 22 million. There are over 80 (some sources say 100) known autoimmune diseases; they are chronic and last a lifetime; and your chance of being diagnosed is one in 13. Most Common Autoimmune Diseases Graves’ disease Hashimoto’s thyroiditis Systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus)Type 1 diabetes Multiple sclerosis (MS)Rheumatoid arthritis Psoriasis & eczema Celiac disease What is Autoimmune Disease? Autoimmune disease is a case of mistaken identity. In response to some kind of trigger, the immune system starts overreacting and misfiring, producing antibodies that attack the body’s own tissues instead of foreign invaders. Organs and tissue (such as the thyroid gland) can be damaged as a result. People often suffer autoimmune “flare-ups” when an inflammatory trigger causes severe symptoms to surface for a period of time."

"text": "The Gluten-Free Lie: Why Most Celiacs Are Slowly Dyingby Jordan Reasoner Conventional medicine usually works like this…I have a problem, the doctor figures out what the problem is, and gives me a conventional prescription generally supported by Doctors, researchers, and the FDA. This prescription is supposed to be relatively safe and effective in accordance with the laws in the United States and most modern countries. But what if the conventional prescription doesn’t work? Like people with Celiac disease that follow a strict gluten-free diet and don’t get better…Does that Mean the Gluten-Free Diet is the Wrong Prescription for Celiac Disease? Earlier in this series, I showed you that gluten is the toxic invader that causes Celiac disease. Logically, removing the intruder is the first step towards treatment. That’s why anyone diagnosed with this autoimmune condition gets the conventional Celiac disease prescription: follow a strict gluten-free diet for life. But the latest Celiac disease research is painting a very different picture. The University of Chicago has one of the leading treatment and research centers for Celiac disease in the U. S., so my jaw dropped when they posted this:“While healing may take up to 2 years for many older adults, new research shows that the small intestines of up to 60% of adults never completely heal, especially when adherence to the diet is less than optimal.” [ 1]60% odds are worse than flipping a coin…It would be easy to read that and think, “So it’s the people that don’t follow a strict gluten-free diet that don’t heal.”"

Abstract Complex and coordinated signals are necessary to initiate and sustain the activation, proliferation, and differentiation of lymphocytes. These signals, which are known to determine T-cellfate and function, also depend on the metabolic state of the organism. Recent studies indicate that both the type and levels of nutrients can influence the generation, survival and function of lymphocytes and therefore can affect several autoimmune diseases. Here, we review the dysregulation of lymphocytes during autoimmunity and aging, the mechanisms associated with loss of immune function, and how fasting mimicking diets and other dietary interventions affect autoimmunity andimmunosenescence. Previous article Next article Keywords Immunosenescence Autoimmune diseases Metabolism Aging Fasting Fasting mimicking diet1. Introduction Aging is associated with a progressive functional decline of the immune system, commonly referred to as immunosenescence. There are several consequences of age-dependent immunosenescence, including increased susceptibility to infection and autoimmune diseases, reduced response to vaccination, and chronic inflammation (Franceschi and Campisi, 2014; Franceschi et al., 2000). In general, men experience a stronger age-dependent alteration of immune function than women ( Yan et al.,"

"text": "\"Thyroid Disease Treatment Holistic Treatments Melatonin, Your Thyroid, and Hormones By Mary Shomon | Reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MDUpdated February 12, 2018Share Pin Email Print Ekspansio/i Stock Melatonin has traditionally been known as a treatment for jet lag and insomnia . The integrative medical world increasingly recommends it for women with breast cancer, and for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptom. But melatonin is gaining greater interest for its ability to affect your thyroid and hormones. Melatonin is a hormone itself, produced by the pineal gland, which is a tiny gland located in the brain. The pineal gland is considered the master controller of our body's clock, including our day-to-day circadian clock that tells us when to sleep and when to wake, and the longer-term biological clock that dictates major hormonal milestones, such as when we enter puberty and menopause. The pineal gland controls circadian rhythms by releasing melatonin, a hormone produced primarily at night. Melatonin synthesis and release is primarily stimulated by darkness. Based on its role in circadian rhythm and sleep, melatonin has become well known as a helpful sleep aid, as a treatment to help prevent jet lag and reset the body clock to a new time zone, and for night shift workers who have difficulty sleeping. It was as a sleep aid that I first started using melatonin nightly when I was in perimenopause. I had been waking up more frequently, and often unable to fall back asleep."

"text": "The 5 Stages of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Dr. Izabella Wentz / April 8, 2017Share Tweet Did you know that most cases of thyroid disease are autoimmune in nature? Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that happens to affect the thyroid gland. This means that our immune system begins to recognize the thyroid gland as a foreign invader and begins to attack it, eventually leading to a destruction of thyroid tissue. When this destruction goes on long enough, the person will lose their ability to produce thyroid hormone. Hashimoto’s is a progressive autoimmune condition that results in the destruction of the thyroid gland and leads to hypothyroidism, and in some cases, to other types of autoimmune conditions. The condition may take many years to develop and is thought to be triggered by damage to the thyroid gland, which results in immune cells congregating in the thyroid gland, and eventually losing their ability to differentiate the thyroid gland from a foreign invader like a virus or bacteria. Hashimoto’s is not usually discovered until it has progressed to the advanced stages, where there is significant damage to the thyroid gland. It takes an average of 10 years to be diagnosed with Hashimoto’s between the start of the autoimmune attack on the thyroid gland and when the person is diagnosed. This is because conventional medicine doctors will only test the TSH, but that won’t be elevated until Stage 4. There are better tests—that are covered by insurance—that can reveal thyroid disease up to a decade before a change in TSH is detected."

"text": "13 Common Triggers Of Autoimmune Disease Jan 22, 2015 // by Dr. Will Share Pin Tweetby Dr. Will Cole Autoimmune conditions have grown rapidly the over past years, with more than 50 million Americans living with some sort of autoimmune disorder. I’ve already covered the multifaceted reasons for the autoimmune explosion we are seeing, and I’ve also given you some effective tools to reverse autoimmune symptoms and balance your immune system. Now, I want to go over the top triggers that can flare up an autoimmune response and cause devastating symptoms in the body. From full-blown autoimmune diseases like Crohn’s, celiac or Hashimoto’s disease to common “autoimmune spectrum disorders” like acne, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it’s important to know what the potential “land mines” are that can turn on an inflammatory-immune response in your body:1. Gluten The infamous “G” word is a protein that’s found in wheat, barley, spelt, rye and other grains. This protein is linked in many different studies to an increase risk of autoimmunity. Many people and their doctors believe you have to have celiac disease to be gluten intolerant. When their labs for Celiac come back negative, they are told that avoiding gluten is not necessary. This antiquated misinformation keeps many people struggling with an autoimmune condition very sick. For many of my autoimmune patients it doesn’t have to be a piece of bread or pasta to cause damage either."

Thank you! ************************ Hypothyroidism, or the underactivity of the thyroid gland, is a condition which usually occurs whenthe thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormones, and/or….there is a failure of the tissues to receive thyroid hormones, and/or….the gland is destroyed due to Hashimoto’s disease, the autoimmune case, and/orno gland exists. Some causes of a thyroid disorder are common; some are more rare. Below is an outline of those potential causes of which some can be corrected and others will need medication. There is more information in the revised STTM book –highly recommended when you don’t want to be tied to a computer screen, or need to take it to your doctor’s office, or want to inform a friend or family member. INTERESTING NOTE: many of these could make your existing thyroid condition worse as well. Heredity Like the creator of this website and author of the STTM book, thyroid problems can simply run in families, perhaps due to specific genetic mutations which become expressed, and which you can discover via testing at 23andme.com. Those thyroid genes can include FOXE-1, FOXE-2 and TG. Genes related to the autoimmune Hashimoto’s are CTLA-4, PTPN22, MHC-DR3, and MHC-HLA C*07."

"text": "Gluten-free and thyroid disease Posted on July 11, 2012I was first diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis after 1 year of a gluten free diet. I was quite surprised by this, as I had assumed that a gluten free diet might lessen the symptoms of other autoimmune diseases I had. Indeed, it made my narcolepsy nearly disappear. Why, then, did I seemingly have continued destruction of my thyroid despite being on what I once considered an “autoimmune cure-all diet”? Hashimoto’s has been shown to occur more frequently in individuals with celiac disease, and the opposite ( subclinical celiac disease in patients with HT) has also been demonstrated. Currently, there is no good proposed explanation for the association at this time, although some molecular details linking the two are starting to be explained, as described below. Unfortunately, while a gluten free diet can reverse the effects of subclinical or overt celiac disease and gluten sensitivities, and potentially provide beneficial effects to other autoimmune diseases, a gluten free diet seems to have no effect on Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and does not affect progression of the disease, either. In short, while a gluten-free diet may provide relief from the ill-effects of gluten itself, or provide some relief for individuals with other autoimmune diseases, a gluten-free diet does not seem to deter progression of autoimmune thyroid disease once the process has already begun.———Updated September 29, 2012After several thoughtful comments on this post, I have decided to expand upon some of the concepts originally laid out. Though familiar with the article, I specifically avoided mentioning “The gluten-thyroid connection” post by Chris Kresser, as well as those by other nutritionists for several reasons detailed below. However, some really great suggestions were brought up, and it made me really go back and look at the literature again, which I really appreciate!1."

( September 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)CTLA4 or CTLA-4 ( cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 ), also known as CD152 ( cluster of differentiation 152), is a protein receptor that, functioning as an immune checkpoint, downregulates immune responses. CTLA4 is constitutively expressed in regulatory T cells but only upregulated in conventional T cells after activation - a phenomenon which is particularly notable in cancers. [ 4] It acts as an \"\"off\"\" switch when bound to CD80 or CD86 on the surface of antigen-presenting cells. The CTLA-4 protein is encoded by the Ctla4 gene in mice [5] and the CTLA4 gene in humans.

"text": "Autoimmune Diseases Nutritional Supplements to Improve Autoimmune Health Quick Menu: Protein Inflammation Free-Radical Damage Immune System GI Tract Stress Liver Health The autoimmune system needs a good nutritional foundation (over a long period of time) to alleviate or reverse lifestyle autoimmune dysfunction and assist with combating fully developed autoimmune diseases. The fundamental causal basis for autoimmune system boosting was shown in an early study designed to measure the serum concentrations of vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin A in patients prior to developing rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. Two to 15 years after the volunteer patients had originally donated their blood to the serum bank (1974), the serum samples were assayed for vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin A. Those patients who developed rheumatoid arthritis or lupus showed lower serum concentrations of vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin A in 1974. Those with the lowest serum level of beta-carotene in 1974 were the most likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis later in life (Comstock 1997). This indicates the long-term importance of maintaining adequate vitamin status for the prevention of autoimmune diseases. Slowing the Damage to Healthy Protein Carnosine, a dipeptide amino acid found naturally in the body, helps slow the formation of glycated protein end products. Recall that glycated protein may be unrecognizable to the immune system, thereby triggering an autoimmune attack. Since the normal removal of damaged protein declines with aging, slowing the development of protein crosslinking (glycation) may help to reduce an autoimmune reaction. In addition to its antiglycation effects, carnosine has been found to modulate immune system neutrophils, thus suppressing a response (Tan 1998). Reducing Inflammation A study found that fish oil containing vitamin E delayed the onset of autoimmune diseases in autoimmune-prone mice (Venkatraman 1994)."

AD is an inflammatory disorder in which the skin becomes covered in itchy, scaly lesions. These lesions cause cracks in the skin’s outer barrier, exposing patients to infection. AD is always accompanied by activation of the immune system. Learn the Difference Between Psoriasis and Eczema »A new study shows that dupilumab, a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody (m Ab), can reverse the immune response that causes AD skin lesions. Many of the scientists who conducted the study are employed by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, the makers of dupilumab. The study was published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. Blocking the Action of Signaling Proteins Dupilumab blocks the activity of two proteins: interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13).

In biology, a kingdom or regnum is the top-level, or nearly the top-level, taxon of organisms in scientific classification. ( Sometimes domain or empire has been used as the topmost level.) The kingdoms are then divided into smaller groups called phyla (for animals) or divisions (for plants). In his Systema Naturae, first published in 1735, Carolus Linnaeus distinguished two kingdoms of living things: Animalia for animals and Vegetabilia for plants (Linnaeus also treated minerals, placing them in a third kingdom, Mineralia). Linnaeus divided each kingdom into classes, later grouped into phyla for animals and divisions for plants. When single-celled organisms were first discovered, they were split between the two kingdoms: mobile forms in the animal phylum Protozoa, and colored algae and bacteria in the plant division Thallophyta or Protophyta. However, a number of forms were hard to place, or were placed in different kingdoms by different authors: for example, the mobile alga Euglena and the amoeba-like slime moulds. As a result, Ernst Haeckel suggested creating a third kingdom Protista for them. [ 1] [2]Contents [ show]Two empires, four kingdoms The discovery that bacteria have a radically different cell structure from other organisms — the bacterial cell has one or two membranes that lie at or near its surface, whereas other organisms have a more complex structure with a nucleus and other organelles divided by intracellular membranes — led Chatton to propose a division of life into two empires: organisms with a nucleus in Eukaryota and organisms without in Prokaryota.

At the same time, the Good is that microbes provide many essential services to Earth, including allowing plant productivity (the dominant base of Earth's food web) to be sustainable, and allowing humans to live - basically, without microbes, humans wouldn't be alive. Finally, microbial organisms are collectively incredibly powerful at the global scale – 50% of the total oxygen produced over the history of the Earth is from bacteria; 75% of additions of nitrogen to the atmosphere, and 92% of removal from the atmosphere are due to bacteria. And of that nitrogen, bacteria produce 88% of the nitrous oxide released to the atmosphere, N 2 O, which is 300 times more potent than CO 2 as a greenhouse gas. Microbes are also responsible for ~70% of the methane production on Earth (25x more potent than CO 2 ), and ~50% of the CO 2 put into the atmosphere comes from bacteria. In this lecture we will learn about the diversity of microbes, how different microbes function to gain energy, and we will specifically learn about the \"\"Good\"\" aspects of microbes and the impacts of microbes on ecosystems and on our globe. The Take Home Messages for this lecture are: Microbes can do anything they want, wherever they want and Without microbes, humans wouldn't be alive. Definition Microbes are organisms that we need a microscope to see. The lower limit of our eye's resolution is about 0.1 to 0.2 mm or 100 - 200 um (microns). Most microbes range in size from about 0.2 um to the 200 um upper limit, although some fruiting bodies of fungi can become much larger."

"text": "Home Biology Autotrophic Vs Heterotrophic Autotrophic Vs Heterotrophic Introduction to autotrophic vs heterotrophic organisms The mode of taking food varies from one group of animal to another. Some take food in liquid form, whereas other takes it in solid form. The plants synthesise their own food from raw materials like carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Thus plants are autotrophic orgainsms because they synthesize their own food themselves. There are organisms like animals that are not capable of making their food from sunlight and carbon dioxide and water. Animals get their food from plants and other animals. They are called heterotrophic organisms.picture of autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms Nutrition in Autotrophic Organisms In this, organisms synthesize the essential organic compounds from inorganic compounds like carbon dioxide and water in the presence of radiant energy of sunlight trapped by magnesium ions (Mg 2+) containing green pigment, chlorophyll. The process is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical bond energy.6CO 2 + 12 H 2 O ---> C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 + 6 H 2 OPhotoautotrophic nutrition is found in all green plants and some protists having chloroplasts like Euglena, Volvox etc. called photoautotrophs."

"text": "\"Home »Biology What is a Unicellular Eukaryote? By Christopher Cascio; Updated March 13, 2018Unicellular eukaryotes are single-celled organisms, all of which were traditionally classified in the kingdom Protista. The term \"\"unicellular\"\" denotes that these organisms have only one cell, while the term \"\"eukaryote\"\" means that each of these cells has a nucleus -- and other organelles -- held in place by membranes. While these protists can be both plant-like or animal-like, their taxonomy is still undecided. Types of Unicellular Eukaryotes Unicellular eukaryotes include protozoans, slime molds and some forms of algae, and are differentiated by one of four ways in which they acquire energy. Some protists are photosynthetic, using photosynthesis to transform light into glucose. Others are chemosynthetic, performing a similar process to break down chemicals into usable fuel. Some protists are heterotrophs that secrete enzymes that digest food externally, after which they absorb the digested nutrients into their bodies. Finally, there are heterotrophs that eat food and digest it within their bodies.

He used the term “cell” to describe these hollow chambers. The Cell Theory was first described in 1839. While the Cell Theory has been altered and revised, most biologists today list three or four general characteristics shared by all cells:1. The cell is the basic unit of life.

"text": "Kingdomnavigation search Definitionnoun, plural: kingdoms In biology, kingdom is a taxonomic rank that is composed of smaller groups called phyla (or divisions, in plants ). Supplement Historically, kingdom is the highest taxonomic rank, or the most general taxon used in classifying organisms. However, in the new three-domain system introduced by Carl Woese in 1990, the domain is the most general taxon, and kingdom is only next. The five-kingdom taxonomic classification of the world's biota into Kingdom Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, and Monera as proposed by Robert Whittaker in 1969 has become a popular standard of classifying organisms. It became the basis for newer multi-kingdom systems such as the six-kingdom system of Carl Woese and colleagues in 1977. The five biological Kingdoms (by Robert Whittaker): Kingdom Monera: the most primitive of the five kingdoms that includes all the bacteria, also called monerans, which are single-celled prokaryotic organisms. ( In six-kingdom system, Kingdom Monera is split into two kingdoms: (1) the Eubacteria, which are all bacteria apart from the archaebacteria, and (2) the Archaebacteria, which are single-celled organisms that live under extreme environmental conditions and have distinctive biochemical features)Kingdom Protista: composed of single-celled and multicellular eukaryotes without the highly specialized tissues. Protists include protozoa and some types of algae Kingdom Fungi: includes multicellular, non-photosynthetic, saprotrophic organisms such as slime moulds, mushrooms, smuts, rusts, mildews, moulds, stinkhorns, puffballs, truffles and yeasts that absorb food in solution directly through their cell walls and reproduce through spores Kingdom Plantae: members of this kingdom are multicellular, (mostly) autotrophic eukaryotes that (usually) conduct photosynthesis Kingdom Animalia: members of this kingdom are multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryotes that digest food outside their cells and then absorb the digested nutrients Word origin: from Old English cyningdōm : cyning, king; see king + -dōm.

Protists are both unicellular and multicellular, and heterotrophic and autotrophic. I don't know whether your \"\"multicellular\"\" means exclusively multicellular or not. Meanwhile, fungi are basically heterotrophic, since they consume dead organic matter. They are typically considered to be multicellular, but there are also unicellular fungi.

One reason the ocean is very important is because of all the algae. If it weren't for marine algae we would not be able to breathe! Through photosynthesis, marine plants and algae provide much of the worlds oxygen supply and take in huge amounts of carbon dioxide. This absorption of carbon dioxide may be a useful tool in reducing the severity of climate change. One type of marine algae is kelp. Kelp is important because it provides shelter and food for a lot of sea creatures. Kelp is also used by humans for many products, including toothpaste and ice cream. Kelp also serves as a buffer by absorbing energy from waves before the waves hit the shoreline, protecting many of the sandy beaches along the California coast. Another important marine plant is phytoplankton."

They can be divided into a number of systematic groups according to the shape of their cells and the type of photosynthetic pigments they use. Chrysophyta or golden algae: they live in both sea and freshwater; the most common ones are diatoms, which are equipped with a typical siliceous shell (Si O2), consisting of two parts joined with each other like a box and a lid. The shell is provided with many small holes through which the cell communicates with the external environment. Diatoms usually live near the seabed. Dinoflagellata: they generally live in the sea and are also equipped with a shell, consisting of many cellulose plates. They have two flagella (resembling cilia, only longer) for covering small distances. They are among the most important components of the marine phytoplankton. Euglenida: they live in ponds and lakes. These organisms are provided with chloroplasts (cellular organelles containing chlorophyll, the pigment involved in the photosynthesis) and can therefore perform the photosynthesis; however, without light, they become heterotrophic and start therefore feeding on the organic substances they find in the surrounding environment."

Most of the organisms are unicellular, though many group together forming colonies. Some are autotrophic, while others are heterotrophic. The main reason these organisms are grouped into Protista is that they cannot be satisfactorily placed in any of the other kingdoms. Protists form two groups: heterotrophic protists and autotrophic protists. Heterotrophic Protists: Protozoa are generally motile, unicellular or syncytial, wall-less heterotrophic protists.

GENERAL INTRODUCTIONThis page on our Bacteriology 102 website expands on the material given in the introduction to Experiment 11 in the manual and also serves to summarize major points regarding the following specific isolation experiments: 11.1 (purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacteria), 11.2 ( Bacillus ), 11.3 (N 2 -fixers), 10.2 ( Streptomyces) and 9.3 (bacteriophages). Even though bacteriophages are not bacteria but, rather, viruses which infect bacteria, many of these general principles will apply. In this course, the selective enrichment/isolation concept applies not only to the isolation of the organisms indicated in the above-named experiments, but wherever we are isolating a certain type of organism from a natural source. This includes gram-negative bacteria from hamburger (Exp."

"text": "Answer 1: To understand how kelp became members of the Protista, one must delve into the convoluted and messy history of systematics. Early attempts at organizing life into a classification system usually separated all organisms as either plants or animals. According to this grouping, kelp and other algae were considered to be very primitive plant forms, along with fungi, molds, and many other types of organisms. However, as taxonomists understanding of these various organisms extended beyond their outward morphology and into their physiology, reproduction, behavior, histology, cellular construction, etc., it quickly became apparent that many of these plants differed in striking, fundamental ways. For example, while a lot of the organisms were clearly photosynthetic and autotrophic, some were obviously heterotrophic. The advent of the microscope opened up a whole new world of ambiguity, revealing countless single-celled organisms that often defied clear classification: many cells were observed that were certainly photosynthetic, but which moved around like animals. In response to these advances in understanding, many taxonomists began pushing for a third grouping, which usually consisted of all single-celled organisms, but was frequently proposed to include all manner of ambiguous multi-cellular organisms as well. Various names were proposed for this third group, with Protista being one among many in these early schemes. In short, the Protista was proposed to represent a hodgepodge of anything that wasnt clearly a plant or an animal."

How do prokaryotes obtain nutrition Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Most prokaryotes are heterotrophic. Of these the majority are saprobes, feeding on dead organic matter. Bacteria and other microorganisms are responsible for the decay and recycling of organic material in the soil. Typically, different groups of bacteria play different specific roles, such as the digestion of cellulose, starches, or other polysaccharides, or the hydrolysis of specific peptide bonds, or the breakdown of amino acids. Due to the specificity of bacterial nutritional requirements, many bacteria are able to live in a small area with little competition and with mutual assistance. Many times the activities of one group will make food available for another group. These combined activities release the nutrients and make them available to plants and then to animals, as animals eat the plants. Therefore, the bacteria are an essential part of the ecological system."

"text": "© 2010 American Society of Plant Biologists Photosynthesis is the only significant solar energy storage process on Earth and is the source of all of our food and most of our energy resources. An understanding of the origin and evolution of photosynthesis is therefore of substantial interest, as it may help to explain inefficiencies in the process and point the way to attempts to improve various aspects for agricultural and energy applications. A wealth of evidence indicates that photosynthesis is an ancient process that originated not long after the origin of life and has evolved via a complex path to produce the distribution of types of photosynthetic organisms and metabolisms that are found today ( Blankenship, 2002; Björn and Govindjee, 2009 ). Figure 1 shows an evolutionary tree of life based on small-subunit r RNA analysis. Of the three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, chlorophyll-based photosynthesis has only been found in the bacterial and eukaryotic domains. The ability to do photosynthesis is widely distributed throughout the bacterial domain in six different phyla, with no apparent pattern of evolution. Photosynthetic phyla include the cyanobacteria, proteobacteria (purple bacteria), green sulfur bacteria (GSB), firmicutes (heliobacteria), filamentous anoxygenic phototrophs (FAPs, also often called the green nonsulfur bacteria), and acidobacteria ( Raymond, 2008 ). In some cases (cyanobacteria and GSB), essentially all members of the phylum are phototrop2hic, while in the others, in particular the proteobacteria, the vast majority of species are not phototrophic.

Bacteria are present in extremely branched out groups that comprise over 2,000 species, each differing from the other relating to their form, structure of their cells, metabolic competencies, nutritional necessities and even favored environments. From the point of morphology, on average the bacteria measure about anything between one and two micrometers in diameter. Each bacterium has a cell wall that is present on the cell membrane's outer surface and the organism's typical shape is attributable to it. The bacterial cytoplasm is located within the cell membrane and it encloses a variety of substances, counting ribosome; but its cytoplasm does not enclose any membrane-bound organelles, for instance, mitochondria or chloroplasts. Being prokaryotic organisms, bacteria also do not possess a distinct nucleus. However, their cells do enclose a solitary, spherical DNA molecule, which is also known as bacterial chromosome - a substance that encloses all essential genes. A number of bacteria species are also likely to enclose a relatively smaller portion of DNA known as plasmid, which predetermines or instructs all supplementary functions of the organism.

"text": "Related Articles Difference Between Deciduous and Coniferous Deciduous vs. Evergreen Azaleas Difference Between Rhododendron & Azalea Trees That Do Not Lose Their Foliage in Winter When choosing shrubs for your yard, it’s wise to consider whether the plant is deciduous or evergreen based on its purpose. If you’re looking for a privacy hedge, choosing a deciduous shrub will leave you exposed during certain times of the year. If you’re looking for showy fall foliage, an evergreen shrub will leave you disappointed. All About Adaptation When it comes to the difference between evergreen and deciduous shrubs, it’s all about how the plant adapts to different seasons. Deciduous trees and shrubs drop their leaves and go dormant for a period of time, usually winter, to conserve water and reduce water loss, enabling the plant to survive. Evergreen trees have adapted so that they do not need to drop their leaves in order to conserve water during certain times of the year. Consider the Environment Usually a shrub is just evergreen or deciduous, but you must consider the environment when it comes to certain plants. The azalea shrub (Rhododendron spp. ), for example, is deciduous in northerly climates and evergreen in warmer climates. Some deciduous plants also go dormant during periods of drought or extreme heat, also to conserve water loss."

Native azaleas, sometimes called \"\"wild honeysuckle\"\" for their fragrant blooms with long stamens, are deciduous. They never need pruning, so the rest of this epistle is not about them.

Azaleas are among the most popular and best flowering shrubs in the world. They grow well in most areas of Australia, from Brisbane to Perth and south and are a feature of many spring gardens. There are thousands of varieties of azaleas most of them very beautiful and highly desirable. But while most azaleas do well when grown in pots, when planted in the garden some azalea varieties are better than others. Some have been known to deteriorate, wind down and die after three or four years (or even less), but there are a number of excellent azaleas which keep on growing and flowering. The best tall growing varieties of azaleas with single flowers include: Alba Magna (white), Alphonse Anderson (pink edged white), Magnifica (purple), Schryderii (white with mauve throat) and Splendens (salmon pink). In Don’s opinion two of the best small azaleas both for reliability, garden performance and appearance are ‘Kirin’ and ‘Red Wing’."

"text": "\"Home »Flowers Azaleas in the Winter By Paula Ezop; Updated September 21, 2017Azaleas are an extremely popular and gorgeous spring flowering shrub. They can be either deciduous (dropping their leaves in the winter), or evergreen (holding on to their leaves throughout the year). These beautiful plants do require protection during the winter season--even in areas that are frost free. Fall Watering Azaleas need to go dormant during the winter season. Therefore, it is important that they harden off before the winter season. You should reduce the amount of water that you give your azaleas as the first frost approaches (approximately one month before you expect your area to receive its first frost). Continue winterizing your azaleas after several frosts by watering the soil once again; this should be done before the weather completely changes over to the winter’s extended cold. This provides adequate moisture during the frequent temperature changes of the winter season (warmer and colder days). Pruning Part of the winterizing process also includes pruning your azalea bushes (both deciduous and evergreen azaleas). Deciduous and evergreen shrubs should be trimmed back to improve the shape and size of the plant and also to remove any broken or diseased branches."

"text": "One of the most common questions heard in pruning class is, “when do I prune my azaleas, evergreen shrubs, or my crape myrtle”? It is somewhat confusing, and timing is important. How would our azaleas look in April if we cut off last year’s flower buds in February? I don’t know many people that plant azaleas with foliage in mind. On the other hand, the last thing we think about on boxwood or hollies are flowers which makes when we prune as important as where we make our cuts along each branch or stem. Remember, thou shalt not make flush cuts or leave stubs, even on the smallest branch. Let’s go over timing and see what plants in our area fall into each category. Here it is: Plants that produce flower buds on last year’s wood should be pruned soon after the flowers have fallen. For instance, when your lilacs have finished flowering in April, prune them at that moment or in May. Conversely, plants that produce flower buds on new wood, or wood that has just been made in the spring should be pruned in winter, or early spring just prior to the beginning of that year’s growth. I think trying to differentiate between early spring and late winter might be confusing, so let’s just call them one in the same."

"text": "Encore® Azaleas offer many color choices that may be mixed and matched as quick as 1-2-3!Color is one of the most powerful tools of landscape design. It can add a “wow” factor or create a sense of calm in the landscape. It can make small spaces look larger and large spaces look smaller. Color can attract attention to a specific area of the landscape or tie together different parts of a landscape. And, best of all, color allows you to express your unique style and to “paint” with plants. However, unless you are blessed with a natural eye for color or a background in art, using color wisely and effectively can be a bit intimidating. You may find it fun to immerse yourself in the study of color and may even consider using a color wheel to choose your palette. If you’re looking for an easy way to get started with color in the garden, consider the 1-2-3 approach - decide if you want to use one color, two colors or thre e or more colors in your garden design. One Color One-Color gardening is a monochromatic approach and simply involves picking a single color for your palette—all pink, all white or all purple flowers, for example. It may sound a bit boring, but using a wide range of hues within that color range will make it easy to deepen and enhance the garden scene."

HGIC 2051While many people think of azaleas and rhododendrons as being completely different kinds of plants, they actually belong to the same genus, Rhododendron. In terms of the pests that attack these plants, some occur on both azaleas and rhododendrons, but some attack only one or the other. Azaleas and rhododendrons should be inspected regularly for insects and mites. If detected early, before pest numbers reach high levels, homeowners often can physically remove the pests. In addition, when pests are immature and few in number, the less toxic pesticides such as insecticidal soaps and horticultural oils are often effective at controlling them."

Azaleas considered dwarfs grow slowly to no more than 4 feet tall and make good choices for edging flower beds. Flower colors include red, orange, pink, purple, magenta, white and bi-colors. Azaleas thrive in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 through 9, with a handful of exceptions hardy to USDA zone 4. All types prefer acidic soil, regular water and part shade, with protection from the hot afternoon sun. Satsuki Hybrids A cross between Rhododendron indicum and Rhododendron eriocarpum, Satsuki hybrid azaleas are known for their compact growth habit, large flowers and dark green leaves. They were introduced to the United States from Japan in 1938 and are marketed under the series name Gumpo. Slow-growing, Gumpo evergreen azaleas reach 2-to-4 feet tall and wide. “ Gumpo White” (Azalea “Gumpo White”) grows 3 feet tall with large, white blooms in late spring."

Quick facts Common name Rhododendron Botanical name Rhododendron Group Evergreen and deciduous trees and shrubs Flowering time Mainly spring Planting time Autumn or spring Height and spread Variable Aspect Generally light dappled shade Hardiness Mostly fully hardy Difficulty Moderate Jump to Pruning and training Propagation Cultivar Selection Problems Cultivation notes Site selection Choose a site with dappled shade in sheltered conditions. Avoid deep shade beneath other trees. Most rhododendrons will tolerate a more open site if sheltered from cold, dry winds. Dwarf alpine species will tolerate full sun provided the soil does not dry out. Avoid frost pockets and sites exposed to early morning sun. Rhododendrons need moist but well-drained, acid soil between p H 5.0 and 6.0 that is rich in organic matter If you have alkaline soil, grow rhododendrons as container plants or see our page on more tolerant species and cultivars. Reducing soil p H is not simple Dwarf alpine rhododendrons are effective in a rock garden Larger rhododendrons are excellent for woodland gardens Compact hybrids are ideal for containers on shaded patios Planting Plant in October or March/April Before planting, dig in plenty of neutral or acidic organic matter: composted tree bark, leafmould, decomposing pine or spruce needles, or composted chopped bracken. Avoid simply lining the planting hole; mix well into soil Do not plant too deeply - all rhododendrons are surface-rooting and the roots should be just covered Apply at least 8cm (3in) mulch of chipped conifer bark or other acid material."

These easy-care shrubs come in so many colors it’s hard to find one that doesn’t suit your needs. Azaleas can be grown in nearly any garden, instantly adding interest and color to drab areas. How to Grow and Care for Azaleas Growing and caring for these shrubs is easy. That being said, there are some things to consider when adding them to the landscape. Proper Azalea Care To keep azaleas looking healthy, it is essential that you choose an appropriate planting location and practice proper azalea care. Azaleas actually look the most attractive when they are planted alone; however, mass plantings work well in larger areas, such as wooded sites. Since the flower coverage on azaleas encompasses the entire shrub, placing them in a background of conifers, such as pines, or other acid-loving plants will help set off their colors while minimizing their heavy effect. These shrubs should be planted in the spring, preferably within cool, lightly shaded sites. Full sun, especially in southernmost climates, can actually burn the leaves while heavy shade can deprive them of necessary oxygen, resulting in poor blooming and weaker growth."

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

"text": "\"The History of Armenia Map of Armenia (through the centuries)Ancient Armenia (3500 BC - 520 BC)Armenia is one of the oldest countries in the world with a recorded history of about 3500 years. The oldest known ancestors of modern Armenians, the Hayasa-Azzi tribes, also known as Proto-Armenians, were indigenous to the Armenian Highland in Eastern Anatolia. These tribes formed the Nairi tribal union, which existed until late 13th century BC. The legendary forefather of Armenians, Hayk, famous for his battles with Babylonian ruler Bel, most likely was one of the Hayasa tribal leaders. The words 'Nairi' and 'Nairian' are still used by Armenians as poetic synonyms of the words 'Armenia' and 'Armenian'. At the end of the second millennium BC, another Indo-European ethnic group, closely related to Thracians and Phrygians and referred to by the Greeks as Armens, migrated to the Armenian Highland from Northern Balkans. According to a Greek myth, which actually reflects this tribal migration, the forefather of Armenians - Armenios - was one of the Argonauts, accompanying Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece. In the year 1115 BC, king Tiglath Pileser I of Assyria reports a battle with a force of 20,000 Armens in the Gadmokh province of Assyria. The mixture of Armens with the indigenous Hayasa eventually produced the Armenian people as it is known today. The existence of two major segments in the Armenian people is best of all illustrated by the fact that Armenians call themselves \"\"Hay\"\" and their country \"\"Hayastan\"\" after Hayasa, while other peoples call them Armenians and their country Armenia after the Armens."

Historically, the term \"\"Tatars\"\" was applied to a variety of Turco-Mongol semi- nomadic empires who controlled the vast region known as Tartary. More recently, however, the term refers more narrowly to people who speak one of the Turkic [4] languages. The Mongol Empire, established under Genghis Khan in 1206, allied with the Tatars. Under the leadership of Genghis Khan's grandson Batu Khan (c. 1207–1255), the Mongols moved westwards, driving with them many of the Mongol tribes toward the plains of Kievan Rus'. The \"\"Tatar\"\" clan still exists among the Mongols, Hazaras and Uzbeks. The largest group by far that the Russians have called \"\"Tatars\"\" are the Volga Tatars, native to the Volga region ( Tatarstan and Bashkortostan ), who for this reason are often also simply known as \"\"Tatars\"\", with their language known as the Tatar language.

"text": "\"Arabic The Arabic script evolved from the Nabataean Aramaic script. It has been used since the 4th century AD, but the earliest document, an inscription in Arabic, Syriac and Greek, dates from 512 AD. The Aramaic language has fewer consonants than Arabic, so during the 7th century new Arabic letters were created by adding dots to existing letters in order to avoid ambiguities. Further diacritics indicating short vowels were introduced, but are only generally used to ensure the Qur'an was read aloud without mistakes. There are two main types of written Arabic: Classical Arabic - the language of the Qur'an and classical literature. It differs from Modern Standard Arabic mainly in style and vocabulary, some of which is archaic. All Muslims are expected to recite the Qur'an in the original language, however many rely on translations in order to understand the text. Modern Standard Arabic ( اللغة العربية الفصحى / al-luġatu l-ʿarabiyyatu l-fuṣḥā) - the universal language of the Arabic-speaking world which is understood by all Arabic speakers. It is the language of the vast majority of written material and of formal TV shows, lectures, etc. Each Arabic speaking country or region also has its own variety of colloquial spoken Arabic."

Civilizations in North America, Central America, and South America had different levels of complexity, technology, and cohesiveness. Some of the most powerful and organized societies occurred in South and Central America. These cultures developed writing, allowing them to spread and dominate. They created some of the largest cities in the Ancient world. North American cultures were more fragmented and less unified. The tribe was often the major social unit, with exchanges between tribes creating similar societies over vast distances. Tribal dwellings as large as European towns flourished in the rugged desert of southwestern North America.

This ancient civilization took root in the Yucatan Peninsula as a border and a part of Mesoamerica. The Yucatan Peninsula is on the southwestern portion of the Gulf of Mexico, which at that time was part of Mesoamerica. The Mayan Civilization evolved over many periods of time before its eventual downfall. The Mayans began their evolutionary process in the middle Pre-Classic period. They evolved over many periods after the Pre-Classic period, such as the Lithic, Archaic, Classic, Terminal Classic, Post-Classic, and the Post-Conquest periods. These periods, during which the Mayans evolved, began at about 300 AD and ended at around 900AD. There were two periods that were the most important in Mayan evolution, the Classic and Post-Classic periods. These periods were the most important because the Mayans disappeared at the end of the Classic and then reappeared to continue their rule in the Post-Classic period. The Mayan Civilization was influenced most by two other civilizations, the Olmecs and the Aztecs."

The Olmecs are frequently forgotten entirely, and the rest are often lumped together or confused, but they were all completely distinct. In short, the Maya came first, and settled in modern-day Mexico. Next came the Olmecs, who also settled Mexico. They didn’t build any major cities, but they were widespread and prosperous. They were followed by the Inca in modern-day Peru, and finally the Aztecs, also in modern-day Mexico. The Whole Bushel The Maya were the first Mesoamerican civilization, starting around 2600 B. C. They lasted the longest of all and are often viewed as the greatest Mesoamerican civilization. They built most of their great cities between A. D. 250 and A. D. 900."

Copyright The Columbia University Press Native American languages, languages of the native peoples of the Western Hemisphere and their descendants. A number of the Native American languages that were spoken at the time of the European arrival in the New World in the late 15th cent. have become extinct, but many of them are still in use today. The classification \"\"Native American languages\"\" is geographical rather than linguistic, since those languages do not belong to a single linguistic family, or stock, as the Indo-European or Afroasiatic languages do. There is no part of the world with as many distinctly different native languages as the Western Hemisphere. Because the number of indigenous American tongues is so large, it is convenient to discuss them under three geographical divisions: North America (excluding Mexico), Mexico and Central America, and South America and the West Indies. It is not possible to determine exactly how many languages were spoken in the New World before the arrival of Europeans or how many people spoke these languages. Some scholars estimate that the Western Hemisphere at the time of the first European contact was inhabited by 40 million people who spoke 1,800 different tongues. Another widely accepted estimate suggests that at the time of Columbus more than 15 million speakers throughout the Western Hemisphere used more than 2,000 languages; the geographic divisions within that estimate are 300 separate tongues native to some 1.5 million Native Americans N of Mexico, 300 different languages spoken by roughly 5 million people in Mexico and Central America, and more than 1,400 distinct tongues used by 9 million Native Americans in South America and the West Indies."

D. 250 in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, western Honduras, El Salvador, and northern Belize. Building on the inherited inventions and ideas of earlier civilizations such as the Olmec, the Mayans developed astronomy, calendrical systems and hieroglyphic writing. The Mayans were noted as well for elaborate and highly decorated ceremonial architecture, including temple-pyramids, palaces and observatories, all built without metal tools. They were also skilled farmers, clearing large sections of tropical rain forest and, where groundwater was scarce, building sizable underground reservoirs for the storage of rainwater. The Mayans were equally skilled as weavers and potters, and cleared routes through jungles and swamps to foster extensive trade networks with distant peoples. Many people believe that the ancestors of the Mayans crossed the Bering Strait at least 20,000 years ago. They were nomadic hunter-gatherers. Evidence of settled habitation in Mexico is found in the Archaic period 5000-1500 BC - corn cultivation, basic pottery and stone tools. The first true civilization was established with the rise of the Olmecs in the Pre-Classic period 1500 BC -300 AD."

Following Christopher Columbus ' establishment of permanent settlement in the Caribbean, the Spanish authorized expeditions or entradas for the discovery, conquest, and colonization of new territory, using existing Spanish settlements as a base. The Spanish campaign began in February 1519, following the Spanish arrival in Yucatán in 1517. Two years later the Spanish set sail, thus beginning the campaign of colonization of the Americas. [ 3] The Spanish campaign declared victorious on August 13, 1521, when a coalition army of Spanish forces and native Tlaxcalan warriors led by Hernán Cortés and Xicotencatl the Younger captured the emperor Cuauhtemoc and Tenochtitlan, the capital of the Aztec Empire. During the campaign, Cortés was given support from a number of tributaries and rivals of the Aztecs, including the Totonacs, and the Tlaxcaltecas, Texcocans, and other city-states particularly bordering Lake Texcoco. In their advance, the allies were tricked and ambushed several times by the people they encountered. After eight months of battles and negotiations, which overcame the diplomatic resistance of the Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II to his visit, Cortés arrived in Tenochtitlan on November 8, 1519, where he took up residence, welcomed by Moctezuma. When news reached Cortés of the death of several of his men during the Aztec attack on the Totonacs in Veracruz, he took the opportunity to take Moctezuma captive, Moctezuma allowed himself to be captured as a diplomatic gesture. Capturing the cacique or indigenous ruler was standard operating procedure for Spaniards in their expansion in the Caribbean, so capturing Moctezuma had considerable precedent, which might well have included those in Spain during the Christian reconquest of territory held by Muslims.

"text": "More Animal Symbolism Jaguar Symbolism Jaguar (Panther/Leopard)The main focus of this entry will be the jaguar, but it should be noted that the black panther is actually the same species as the jaguar. The black coat is simply a color variation. Jaguar is a Native American word meaning, “he who kills with one blow.” The jaguar actually originated in North America, though now it only lives in Central and parts of South America. The jaguar moved south when Central America formed into a land bridge. Jaguars prefer habitats like jungles and swamps, but also like semi-arid mountainous regions, so long as the area is forested. The jaguar is also one of the few cats to like water, and often can be seen playing in it. As for the mythology and legends, the jaguar was seen as a god in Peru, Mexico, and Guatemala, in pre-Columbian America. The Mayans, Aztecs, and Inca all worshiped the jaguar in some form. In the pantheon, the jaguar god was second only to the snake god in religious importance."

Answered Dec 16, 2014 · Author has 1.4k answers and 2.6m answer views Their desire to connect with their Indian roots is understandable, but this sure isn't the way to do it. I'm all for Mexicans seeking out and maintaining their tribal heritage. That means doing the research and learning and connecting to that individual tribal culture. What the would be Mexica do is a version of pan Indianism, an inaccurate view of all Indians as one generic group. Where the old westerns (and some non-Natives today) see all Indians as one vague Plains Indian culture, the Mexica see all Mexicans as generic Aztecs. This falls in line somewhat with what Mexican nationalism does, depict the Aztecs as the stand in for all of the more than 80 major Mexican Indian peoples, plus numerous smaller groups. Where Mexican nationalism depicts the Mexican gov't and system as the successor to the Aztecs, the Mexica depict themselves as an insurgent group that will replicate some vaguely neo-Aztec political system. If they were to actually come into contact with Mexican Indians (which would be as simple as visiting the Cocopah, O'odham, Kickapoo and others on the border, or hundreds of Nahua and Mayan communities in central Mexico and Yucatan) they'd see Mexican Indians as having little or no desire to be part of their hoped for neo Aztec state. That includes the Nahua, who are Aztecs really, Aztec first invented and used as a term for them by the historian Wm Prescott. These Indian communities have largely maintained their cultures, and their concerns are more prosaic, poverty, land, self sufficiency."

"text": "From Ancient Mesoamerica to the Toltecsc. 8000 B. C. The first human experiments with plant cultivation begin in the New World during the early post-Pleistocene period. Squash is one of the earliest crops. This agricultural development process, which continues slowly over thousands of years, will form the basis of the first villages of Mesoamerica (including Mexico and Central America).1500 B. C. The first major Mesoamerican civilization–the Olmecs–grows out of the early villages, beginning in the southern region of what is now Mexico. This period is marked by the effective cultivation of crops such as corn (maize), beans, chile peppers and cotton; the emergence of pottery, fine art and graphic symbols used to record Olmec history, society and culture; and the establishment of larger cities such as San Lorenzo (about 1200-900 B. C.) and La Venta (about 900-400 B. C.).600 B. C. In the late Formative (or Pre-Classic) period, Olmec hegemony gives way to a number of other regional groups, including the Maya, Zapotec, Totonac, and Teotihuacán civilizations, all of which share a common Olmec heritage.250 The Mayan civilization, centered in the Yucatán peninsula, becomes one of the most dominant of the area’s regional groups, reaching its peak around the sixth century A. D., during the Classic period of Mesoamerican history. The Mayas excelled at pottery, hieroglyph writing, calendar-making and mathematics, and left an astonishing amount of great architecture; the ruins can still be seen today. By 600 A. D., the Mayan alliance with the Teotihuacán, a commercially advanced society in north-central Mexico, had spread its influence over much of Mesoamerica.600 With Teotihuacán and Mayan dominance beginning to wane, a number of upstart states begin to compete for power. The warlike Toltec, who migrated from north of Teotihuacán, become the most successful, establishing their empire in the central valley of Mexico by the 10th century. The rise of the Toltecs, who used their powerful armies to subjugate neighboring societies, is said to have marked the beginning of militarism in Mesoamerican society.900 The early Post-Classic period begins with the dominant Toltecs headquartered in their capital of Tula (also known as Tollan). Over the next 300 years, internal conflict combined with the influx of new invaders from the north weaken Toltec civilization, until by 1200 (the late Post-Classic period) the Toltecs are vanquished by the Chichimecha, a collection of rugged tribes of undetermined origin (probably near Mexico’s northern frontier) who claim the great Toltec cities as their own."

"text": "Science, Tech, Math ›Science Why Are Babies Born with Blue Eyes? Understanding Melanin and Eye Color Share Flipboard Email Print It takes a while before melanin is deposited fully in human eyes, so babies often have pale or blue eyes, even though their eyes may change color later in life. Daniel Mac Donald / www.dmacphoto.com / Getty Imagesby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated May 03, 2017You may have heard it said that all babies are born with blue eyes. You inherit your eye color from your parents, but no matter what the color is now, it may have been blue when you were born. Why? Melanin, the brown pigment molecule that colors your skin, hair, and eyes, hadn't been fully deposited in the irises of your eyes or darkened by exposure to ultraviolet light. The iris is the colored part of the eye that controls the amount of light that is allowed to enter. Like hair and skin, it contains the pigment, possibly to help protect the eye from the sun. How Melanin Affects Eye Color Melanin is a protein."

Instead of the picture-perfect cherub, babies often look bluish, are covered with blood and cream-cheesy glop, and look like they've just been in a fist-fight. The features that may make a normal newborn look strange are temporary. After all, babies develop while immersed in fluid, folded up in an increasingly cramped space inside the uterus.

Genes mutate to give alternative forms called alleles, and each allele slightly differs from the other. There are three pairs of alleles responsible for eye color with each allele giving either brown, green or blue. The brown allele is dominant over green and blue; green is dominant over blue and blue is recessive."

When babies are born, i have heard that babies with parents of black american or say african decsent are born with white skin that slowly changes to their proper colour as they grow. Is this true or are all babies born with the right skin colour straight away? Answer Question Read 9 Responses Follow - 19 Responses Trialanderror Feb 25, 2007Not all babies are born with different skin colour all over but among African descent you do find a lot who are initially a lot paler than they will be later on, probably among those whose original African descent has been mixed during slavery or during European colonization of their islands. A baby at he Ivory Coast, born to loacl parents, may be really dark to begin with. It is all in the gene pool. Just the same in Northern Europe all babies are born blue eyed and blond and only later change colour. Where I come from, you see nothing but blond and blue-eyed kids in kindergarten classes but grown ups do have all kinds of shades of eyes and hair."

"text": "41 Comments When can I tell my baby’s permanent eye color? Reviewed by Kristie Rivers, MD, FAAP, Board Certified Pediatrician It’s natural for parents to want to know what color eyes their newborn child will have. Unfortunately, nature isn’t quite so accommodating. It’s very common that a baby’s final eye color will end up being something other than the eye color he or she is born with. It can takes months, or even a full year, for an infant to manifest his or her permanent eye color. Most babies have fairly nondescript eyes when they’re born, with colors ranging from slate to gray-blue to blue-black to dark bluish-brown. Since the pupil is always black, what you’re actually seeing is the color of your baby’s iris, or the muscular ring that surrounds the pupil and controls the amount of light that gets into the eyes. Just like skin and hair, the color of the iris is ultimately determined by a pigmentation protein called melanin. The more melanin your baby’s eye’s produce, the darker his or her eyes will be. In newborns, however, the cells that produce melanin (called melanocytes) are not very active—just like everything else with your baby, they’re still new and getting used to working on their own."

Please Share!See also: Brown eyes • All about eye color • Eye color chart • Are green eyes the most attractive? • About blue eyes • Which color contact lenses you should choose • Two different colored eyes (heterochromia)Hazel eyes are a bit of a mystery. For starters, people describe this magnificent eye color in many different ways. Some say it looks like hazelnut, while others call it golden or brownish green. One of the reasons it's so hard to describe hazel-colored eyes is that the hue itself seems to change, depending on what you wear and the type of lighting you are in. To complicate matters further, although hazel eyes appear to contain hues of green, amber and even blue, these color pigments don't exist in the human eye. So where does this stunning color come from? What Determines Eye Color? Most of us were taught in high school science class that we inherit our eye color from our parents, and that brown eye color is dominant and blue is recessive (so two parents with blue eyes cannot have a child with brown eyes because neither parent carries the dominant form of the gene for brown eyes)."

You should know that many babies are born with blue eyes, which may change color (usually becoming darker) over the course of the first year of life. Usually your baby's eye color at 6 to 9 months should be close to the permanent hue. What color your baby's eyes will ultimately be depends on the kinds of dominant and recessive genes she received from you and your husband at the time of conception. Though there are always pleasant surprises, these odds can help you make an educated guess:• If both parents have brown eyes, there's more than a 75 percent chance your baby will end up with brown eyes too. • If one parent has brown eyes and the other has blue or green, there's more than a 50 percent chance your baby will get brown eyes.• If both parents have blue or green eyes, your baby is nearly 100 percent likely to have light-colored eyes as well, though green is pretty rare (less than five percent of world's population has them).

Is it going to be a single color or will it be a mix of different colors? Medical science tells us that the looks of the baby are a mixture of the genetic material of both parents; however, the mixing of the two genes can take place in a number of ways. Thus, the mystery surrounding the child’s resemblance to either parent cannot be ascertained until his/her birth. After birth, you can easily get an idea about your child’s health just by having a good look at him/her. However, you would not know for sure about the color of his/her eyes right way. It might take some time before all of this revealed, particularly if the child’s eyes are of a very light color at the time of their birth. What Determines My Baby’s Eye Color?1."

"text": "Print Overview A premature birth is a birth that takes place more than three weeks before the baby's estimated due date. In other words, a premature birth is one that occurs before the start of the 37th week of pregnancy. Premature babies, especially those born very early, often have complicated medical problems. Typically, complications of prematurity vary. But the earlier your baby is born, the higher the risk of complications. Depending on how early a baby is born, he or she may be: Late preterm, born between 34 and 36 completed weeks of pregnancy Moderately preterm, born between 32 and 34 weeks of pregnancy Very preterm, born at less than 32 weeks of pregnancy Extremely preterm, born at or before 25 weeks of pregnancy Most premature births occur in the late preterm stage. Symptoms Your baby may have very mild symptoms of premature birth, or may have more-obvious complications. Some signs of prematurity include the following: Small size, with a disproportionately large head Sharper looking, less rounded features than a full-term baby's features, due to a lack of fat stores Fine hair (lanugo) covering much of the body Low body temperature, especially immediately after birth in the delivery room, due to a lack of stored body fat Labored breathing or respiratory distress Lack of reflexes for sucking and swallowing, leading to feeding difficulties The following tables show the median birth weight, length and head circumference of premature babies at different gestational ages for each sex.

You should under NO circumstances induce a pregnancy early without a REAL MEDICAL reason. A baby's brain at 36 weeks has 2/3 less mass than a baby at 40 weeks.

"text": "Twin Pregnancy Week by Week Twins are conceived in a different way to singleton babies. From the very start of conception, twins are formed when one of two important processes occur. Either two eggs are released by a woman’s ovaries and are fertilised by two separate sperm – these are known as non-identical, fraternal or dizygotic twins – or one egg is fertilised by one sperm and this fertilised egg then splits into two identical halves. These are known as identical, non-fraternal or monozygotic twins. Identical twins share exactly the same genetic structures and are always the same gender, whereas non-identical twins can look very different and be the opposite gender. They share the same similarities and differences as do any other siblings who have the same biological parents. It can be fun to keep a twin pregnancy week by week video diary. Consider writing to your twins each week of their gestation or doing a video log of your progress. This can be a lovely record to look back on. But how will I know what type of twins I’m having?"

It seems mysterious how one pregnancy can result in more than one baby. Multiple pregnancies are on the rise in recent years with more and more twins and other types of multiples being born. The majority of the reason for this rise is the increased use of fertility drugs. How Twins Are Made There are a couple of ways that multiples are conceived: Multiple eggs are released or there is more than one ovulation. Both (or more) eggs are fertilized and this is how fraternal twins are made. This can happen with or without fertility drugs. One egg is released but splits in two. This is how identical twins are made. This can happen with or without fertility drugs."

What exactly is preterm labor and what could be possible aftereffects of having your baby born prematurely? What is preterm labor?

Before a preterm birth occurs, the mom will see signs of a preterm labor. What are the reasons why some moms go into labor before the pregnancy reaches term?

Here's what you need to know, from the causes of premature labor to preventative measures and what to expect if you do go into labor early. In This Article What might cause it How to prevent it How to screen for it Signs of preterm labor What to expect if you experience it Your premature baby's health Most pregnancies (about 89 percent of them, to be precise) last to term — which is at least week 37 of pregnancy (though that's now called \"\"early term\"\"; full-term babies are born between 39 weeks of pregnancy and week 40 of pregnancy ). But sometimes, baby unexpectedly arrives sooner: Preterm, or premature, labor occurs after week 20 of pregnancy (it's considered a miscarriage before that) and before week 37. While the latest research from the March of Dimes shows that the number of cases of premature labor is on the decline, around 11 percent of moms find their expected nine months of pregnancy turns into an unexpected seven or eight because they go into labor too soon. Here’s why premature labor happens — and what you can do to help prevent it. What might cause it While no one knows for sure what causes preterm labor, experts point to a number of factors that could play a role in triggering your uterus to begin contracting and your cervix dilating before your baby is ready to come out: Smoking, alcohol and drug use: Not only do these behaviors increase your risk of miscarriage, they also increase your baby’s risk of being born early or at a low birth weight (toxins that cross the placenta can keep your baby from getting the necessary oxygen she needs to grow). If there’s ever a reason to quit, pregnancy is it. Short interval between pregnancies: Getting pregnant sooner than 18 months after giving birth to your last child increases your risk of preterm birth. And the longer you can wait, the less you’re at risk: A large recent study found that 20 percent of women who wait less than a year between pregnancies give birth before 37 weeks; the rate drops to 10 percent among women who wait a year to 18 months and is less than 8 percent in those who wait more than 18 months to conceive again."

"text": "What is multiple pregnancy? A multiple pregnancy is a pregnancy in which you are having more than one baby at the same time. One baby growing in the womb (uterus) on its own is called a singleton pregnancy. By far the most common type of multiple pregnancy is a twin pregnancy, when there are two babies. Having three babies in the same pregnancy is known as triplets and having four is known as quadruplets. It is very rare to have more than four. What is the difference between identical and non-identical twins? Non-identical twins are called dizygotic twins (or fraternal twins). Triplets or higher numbers of babies are called polyzygotic twins, and this happens either: Because you produced more than one egg when you ovulated; or You had assisted conception and more than one fertilised egg was put into your womb (uterus). In non-identical twins each egg is fertilised by a separate sperm."

Thanks!Follow 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The statistic are difficult to completely know because Each State keeps their own records. The Latest Attempt overall to Check Adoption Numbers was in 2003 http://www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/cens... And the CDC has attempted to do a few studies: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_2... The best US site that will give you some numbers is: http://www.childwelfare.gov/systemwide/s... One important thing to remember is that if the mother of a Newborn were to relinquish her rights (or leaves her baby in a Safe Haven) and there were no Adoptive Parents approved for a match the baby would be placed into the Foster Care System so those numbers would be reflected in the Foster Care numbers. My very good friend is a Nic U Nurse and last week she told me a family had twins both with some serious medical issues. The parents left the hospital and never came back. Instead they voluntarily placed the babies in State Care... this actually happens more often then anyone would like to think."

Babies born more than one month premature (prior to 36 weeks) are considered preemies. Preemies are tracked based on their gestational age for the first 2 years, not based on their birth age. I had two preemies -- one at 34 weeks (who is now almost 3 years old) and one at 35 weeks who is now almost 1 year old. Both of them lagged based on their birth age. However, my 1 year old is right on track based on gestational age. My 3 year old is actually quite advanced now, but was always behind based on birth age for the first year and half."

"text": "Premature baby: A baby born before 37 weeks of gestation have passed. Historically, the definition of prematurity was 2500 grams (about 5 1/2 pounds) or less at birth. The current World Health Organization definition of prematurity is a baby born before 37 weeks of gestation, counting from the first day of the Last Menstrual Period (the LMP ). Premature birth carries greater risks the earlier it occurs before that 37-week goal. A baby born a little prematurely may suffer few if any consequences. The earlier in fetal growth and development that birth takes place, the greater is the likelihood that life-support systems will be needed, and the greater the risk for birth defects and death. Many procedures are available to prevent early birth, from bed rest to medications. If premature birth is medically necessary or inevitable, however, it may be accomplished via C-section to limit stress on the fetus and protect it from damage. Colloquially, a premature baby is commonly called a preemie.

About a week ago a toddler in New York was given general anesthetic for a circumcision, and he died from it. Even local anesthetic is potentially dangerous. There are also risks to pain management, especially with infants. Some doctors don't use *any* pain management with infant circumcision. Most use a small amount, ssuch as sugar water (which, according to a recent study, doesn't do anything to reduce pain, only changes the baby's facial expression to make it seem like less pain is felt). Others use numbing creams or injections. However, some doctors do not wait enough time for the pain killer to go into affect, so technically its use is moot."

"text": "\"Listenen español Cirugías y procedimientos: Circuncisión Circumcision is a common procedure in which the skin covering the tip of the penis is surgically removed. It's usually performed on a newborn boy before he leaves the hospital, and often within the first 2 days of life. In the Jewish faith, it is performed in a special ceremony when a baby is 8 days old. Boys are born with a hood of skin, called the foreskin, covering the head (glans) of the penis. In circumcision, the foreskin is removed to expose the head of the penis. It's a quick procedure that causes very little bleeding and stitches aren't needed. Older boys can be circumcised, but the procedure is a bit more involved. After the circumcision, a protective bandage may be placed over the wound, which generally heals on its own within a week to 10 days. In the United States, many newborn males are circumcised. Circumcision is not medically required, but studies show that it lowers certain health risks."

The primary role of a Newborn Care Specialist is to provide assistance and education after the parents bring the baby home from the hospital. Many times this help will include scheduling, feeding, sleep training, help with breast feeding and more. Newborn Care Specialists will generally work night shifts managing the baby’s care while the parents sleep restfully. When the baby wakes up, the Newborn Care Specialist feeds by bottle or brings the baby to the mom for nursing. After feeding, the baby is burped and changed and put back to bed. During the daytime a Newborn Care Specialist will provide similar care and also strive to create a nurturing and stimulating environment for the baby during waking hours."

However, taking care of a newborn can involve a number of challenges. Even experienced parents and caregivers often have questions and concerns during the first days, weeks, and months of a baby's life. Most newborn babies are seen in the pediatrician's office within a few days after leaving the hospital. Parents should be sure the baby is properly secured in an infant safety seat (car seat) in the back seat of the car on the way to this appointment, and every time he or she rides in a car. At the first office visit, the pediatrician answers questions, discusses concerns, and performs a physical examination. It may be helpful to dress the baby in clothing that is easy to remove for the exam, such as a sleeper, and to bring a receiving blanket to wrap the baby in so he or she does not get chilly. In addition to addressing specific concerns at this appointment, pediatricians often ask new parents questions about the baby's schedule and home environment, and about what a typical day is like for the family. He or she may ask how other children in the family are adjusting to the new baby and about whether the baby's mother (or any other family member or caregiver) is overly stressed, extremely tired and run-down, or may be depressed."

Risks include infection, hemorrhage, scarring, difficulty urinating, loss of part or all of the penis, and even death. Circumcision complications can and do occur in even the best clinical settings. Myth – Circumcision is just a little snip. Fact – Surgical removal of the foreskin involves immobilizing the baby by strapping him face-up onto a molded plastic board. In one common method, the doctor then inserts a metal instrument under the foreskin to forcibly separate it from the glans, slits the foreskin, and inserts a circumcision device. The foreskin is crushed and then cut off."

Because Australia has a past history of widespread circumcision, they may be unfamiliar with the normal penis and worried that they will not know how to look after it. They may also have been alarmed by reports in the media about the risks to health supposedly caused by the foreskin, or they may have heard stories from relatives or friends that the normal penis is somehow difficult to look after or prone to problems. This page aims to answer questions commonly asked by parents who are considering whether to circumcise their baby boy and to reassure them that all these fears are groundless. Boys are exactly right the way nature made them. Circumcision: Frequently asked questions Introduction Parents want to make the best decision for the health of their children, but not all Australian state health departments and medical bodies are equally forthcoming with information for parents on the risks of circumcision and care of the normal (intact) penis. What is male circumcision? The word circumcision means “to cut around”. In male infants, circumcision is a surgical operation which involves tearing the foreskin * away from the glans (head) of the penis, clamping it and cutting it off. There are several techniques in use, including one (Plastibel) that is intended to slowly strangle the foreskin, but they all involve cutting, blood and removal of sensitive tissue."

June 12, 2002N E W S F E A T U R EFor the North Carolina General Assembly, it's a question of whether to cut or maintain Medicaid funding for this routine procedure as they try to fill the state's budget shortfall. Photo By Alex Maness The funding has so far been excluded from this year's proposed budget. Still, Gov. Mike Easley, in his recently announced budget plan, vowed to maintain all optional Medicaid services. And as last year's legislative session proved, the governor is willing to apply political pressure in order to protect funding for Medicaid circumcisions. Effective Nov. 1, 2001, the legislature discontinued funding for the controversial procedure, which many in the medical community consider both unnecessary and harmful, as part of a large-scale effort to reduce the state's growing budget deficit. Then, five weeks later, the lawmakers suddenly reversed the decision in the final hours of the legislative session, after complaints from some members of the medical community and pressure from Gov. Easley. The North Carolina budget cites $646,000 as the expected cost of circumcision funding for the budget's two-year period, but according to the state's Department of Health and Human Services , North Carolina Medicaid actually paid around $3.5 million for 34,112 newborn circumcisions in 2000 and 2001."

The vast majority of Christians elsewhere in the world and in history respect God's creative wisdom and don't practice modern infant \"\"circumcision,\"\" but Christians in the USA usually make one of the following assumptions. MYTH: Christians cut their baby boys. Christians have, with very few exceptions, never practiced circumcision. From the Apostles Peter (Acts 15:5-10) and Paul * (in several places, including Galatians 6:12-15 and 1 Corinthians 7:18-20) and the Church Fathers, to Medieval Christians through the Reformation and beyond, God's children have never viewed circumcision as a Christian practice. Indeed, Christians have believed that Christ's finished work has abolished the practice and even made it reprehensible, just as animal sacrifices are now reprehensible. Both before and after the Protestant Reformation, the Catholic Church has repeatedly forbidden Christians from being circumcised (or otherwise mutilated) without unavoidable medical reason. Protestants have never circumcised until the procedure arose in English-speaking countries in the late 1800s (see How MGM really started in the US ). Nevertheless, secular thought introduced the practice in the modern United States, and American Christians absorbed it. Christians in other lands are often shocked to hear that some American Christians routinely circumcise their boys."

Any cutting on this part of the body is extremely painful, even with anesthetic (which will never provide 100% pain relief)."

Two days later, the baby boy was brought to a health center where the doctor did a follow-up examination. Four days after that, the child was rushed to a hospital emergency room after developing a fever and undergoing seizures. The ER physician telephoned the doctor who had performed the circumcision and decided not to admit the child. The next morning, the mother brought the infant back to the ER where he suffered more seizures and was noted to have a greenish cast to the penis. That afternoon the child was transferred to a medical center, where he died 4 hours later. The cause of death was found to be septicemia derived from an infection secondary to the circumcision. Both physicians were sued for negligence for failure to admit the child to the hospital on the first visit to the ER. After 6 months, a settlement of $150,000 was reached.

As you get started on this adventure, get to know some of the basics of what can happen in your baby's first week.1. How can I help my baby bond with me? Bonding with your child is one of the great joys of parenthood, but it doesn't always happen right away. You’re adjusting, and your newborn is getting used to being out in the world. To jump-start the bonding process: Spend time skin to skin. Hold your infant close to your chest while you feed her or just when you’re cuddling. You can also stroke or gently massage your little one. Talk to your baby."

Getting Help After the Birth Consider getting help during this time, which can be very hectic and overwhelming. While in the hospital, talk to the experts around you. Many hospitals have feeding specialists or lactation consultants who can help you get started nursing or bottle-feeding. Nurses also are a great resource to show you how to hold, burp, change, and care for your baby. For in-home help, you might want to hire a baby nurse, postpartum doula, or a responsible neighborhood teen to help you for a short time after the birth. Your doctor or the hospital can help you find information about in-home help, and might make a referral to home health agencies. Relatives and friends often want to help too."

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin, the tissue covering the head of the penis. Most men in the UK are not circumcised and most of those that have been circumcised will have had the procedure performed for cultural and religious reasons rather than medical ones. The NHS only carries out circumcisions for medical reasons. When is circumcision done? Circumcision for religious reasons is usually carried out within some days of the boy being born. How is circumcision done? During a circumcision, the foreskin is freed from the head of the penis (glans), and the excess foreskin is clipped off. If done in the newborn period, the procedure takes about five to ten minutes."

A single pill of baby aspirin contains 81 milligrams of aspirin. That's about a quarter of the 325-milligram dose in an adult aspirin pill. The new research review states that in the U. S., the most commonly prescribed aspirin dose for heart health is 81 milligrams per day. The review shows that aspirin doses greater than 81 milligrams per day haven't been proven better than baby aspirin for the heart and may increase the chances of stomach bleeding. The doctors who worked on the review included Charles Campbell, MD, of the University of Kentucky's Gill Heart Institute. They analyzed data from 11 studies on aspirin and heart disease.

"text": "Migraine in pregnancy Hormonal change in women is a common trigger for those prone to migraine. This is often shown in pregnancy when the sex hormone levels show profound changes which has an effect on whether your migraine get better or worse. Oestrogen sometimes reaches one hundred times the normal level, whilst progesterone levels decrease, rising again towards the end of the pregnancy. However, the fluctuation of levels is not as pronounced as during the non-pregnant state, which may be why migraine often improves during pregnancy. This improvement may also be due to the increased levels of natural pain-killing hormones (endorphins). These are several times higher during pregnancy, and though the relief from migraines they provide might last the whole pregnancy, the levels settle back down after delivery, normally allowing migraine attacks to recur. However, it is not always the case that your migraine will improve, especially in the early weeks of pregnancy. For some women, migraine can go on unchanged, or more rarely even get worse. During breastfeeding, stable oestrogen levels may be protective against having headache again after pregnancy. Planning a pregnancy If you are taking regular medication for your migraine and are planning a pregnancy, you should see your doctor for advice on the management of your migraine before and during pregnancy, after the birth and while you breast feed."

Extremely scary, but they basically didn't harm him. He shook and was stiff for about a minute, then was fine afterwards. The vet didn't see a need to do testing, and I agreed, as he was already 9 or 10 years old at the time, and he lived another 5 years after that. ( The dog, not the vet, ha!)

Preventive Services Task Force says From the Web MD Archives By Dennis Thompson Health Day Reporter MONDAY, April 7, 2014 (Health Day News) -- Pregnant women at high risk for the serious condition called preeclampsia should take low-dose aspirin every day after their first trimester, according to a new draft recommendation by an influential U. S. panel of experts. Daily low-dose aspirin (81 milligrams) in middle and late pregnancy can significantly reduce the occurrence of preeclampsia among these women. And it can lower the risk of preterm birth or low birth weight resulting from the pregnancy-related condition, according to the recommendation by the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force. \"\" Preeclampsia is one of the more common causes of serious health problems for both the expectant mother and their baby,\"\" said Dr. Michael Le Fevre, chairman of the task force, and vice chair of family and community medicine at the University of Missouri School of Medicine. \"\" At least for pregnant women at high risk for preeclampsia, a low dose of aspirin taken daily can help prevent the condition and improve the outcome for both mother and child. \"\" Continue Reading Belowyou might like The evidence review upon which the recommendations are based was published online April 7 in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Preeclampsia is a complex condition that occurs in pregnant women and involves an increase in blood pressure and excess protein in the urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy. About 4 percent of all pregnancies in the United States are affected by preeclampsia, according to information from the journal. It's important to prevent preeclampsia because the only treatment once it takes hold is delivery, which can pose risks to the baby if performed before 34 weeks of gestation. Preeclampsia is responsible for more than one-third of the serious health problems that occur among pregnant women, and 15 percent of preterm births, the journal noted."

"text": "Aspirin is one of the most commonly used NSAIDs, which are drugs used to reduce inflammation, usually temporarily. Many doctors even advise older patients to take baby aspirin to ward off heart disease. Here, I will argue that taking aspirin is a bad thing if you have chronic pain, and you might not want to take it at all (especially considering that there are many other anti-inflammatory alternatives, both natural and synthetic). My argument comes out of two convincing studies plus one dumb theory I just made up. The first study looked at people with fatty livers and tested how leaky their intestines became after taking aspirin, compared to people without a fatty liver. The reason they performed this study is that the causes of fatty liver (specifically conditions called NAFLD and NASH…meaning liver fat that is not caused by drinking too much alcohol and killing your liver) are not well understood. If you are obese, you can get fat infiltration into your liver, but it doesn’t always happen. Lots of nutrients and disease states are involved. Now let me tell you why this study is cool. They found that both patients with fatty liver and without fatty liver had more stuff leaking through their small intestines after taking aspirin (note: at experimental doses, to induce a response)."

"text": "\"Harvard Men's Health Watch Aspirin and your heart: Many questions, some answers Published: December, 2010First marketed by the Bayer Company in 1897, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is one of our oldest modern medications — and its parent compound is much older still, since Hippocrates and the ancient Egyptians used willow bark, which contains salicylates, to treat fever and pain. Over the past 100 years, aspirin has made its way into nearly every medicine chest in America. Indeed, this old drug is still widely recommended to control fever, headaches, arthritis, and pain. Although aspirin remains an excellent medication for fever and pain, other drugs can fill these roles equally well. But aspirin has a unique role that was not even suspected by its early advocates. In patients with coronary artery disease, aspirin prevents heart attacks. The first evidence that aspirin could protect the heart did not come from an academic medical center but from a general practitioner. Beginning in the 1940s, Dr. Lawrence L. Craven advised all his male patients between the ages of 40 and 65 to take aspirin every day to prevent coronary thrombosis (clots in the heart's arteries). It seemed to work; Dr. Craven reported that surprisingly few of his patients had heart attacks or strokes. Dr. Craven's observations were astute, and they support Yogi Berra's belief that you can observe a lot just by watching."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology Is bacteria a producer? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Yes, most bacteria are producers. In biology, bacteria are called \"\"autotrophs\"\", like plants. The other group are called \"\"heterotrophs\"\", and they are you consumers, like you and me and my cat over here. Some bacteria, though, are also what you would call \"\"recyclers\"\". I forgot the biological term for recyclers. Some bacteria, on the other hand, feed on other bacteria, so asides from being like plants, they are also like animals, which are heterotrophs.pecier · 1 decade ago2 0 Comment Asker's rating Most bacteria are not producers, they are consumers. Most bacteria are decomposers, though some are parasites. The bacteria that are called cyanobacteria are producers that use photosynthesis. There are also some bacteria that live near deep sea volcanic vents and produce their own food using chemicals for energy."

You were most likely having a urinary tract infection (UTI). Approximately, 150 million people across the world are diagnosed with Urinary Tract Infection every year ( 1 ). UTI’s are generally treated with antibiotics however the bacteria causing the infection has become resistant to most of them. Due to this recurring UTI’s have become a major concern. ( 2)For this reason, it is better to look back to traditional home remedies for urinary tract infection which are better alternative solutions to treat UTI’s and prevent recurrent infections. Before learning various home remedies for urinary tract infections, let’s have a look at what is urinary tract infection and what caused it. What is Urinary Tract Infection? The urinary tract comprises of organs which are involved in making and transporting urine out of the body. These organs include a pair of kidneys and ureters, a bladder, and a urethra."

C., August 24 -- Electricity and water can be fatal. But that could be good news for consumers now that researchers have shown the deadly combination also kills bacteria like E. coli, salmonella and listeria on foods and food utensils. \"\" Electrolyzed water\"\" - produced by applying an electrical current to a very dilute saltwater solution - kills bacteria on fresh produce more effectively in some cases than heat or water containing chlorine, according to a research report presented here today at the 220th national meeting of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society. Electrolyzed water could also be used to sanitize cutting boards, eating and drinking utensils, and food-processing equipment, says Yen-Con Hung, Ph. D., the University of Georgia professor who conducted the research. Soaking a cutting board in electrolyzed water for about five minutes at a moderately warm temperature (about 95-105 F) can reduce bacteria up to a million-fold, he says. One advantage of using electrolyzed water to kill bacteria on food surfaces is that it doesn't adversely affect quality as heat can, according to Hung. Trained sensory panelists \"\"found there was no significant effect of the treatment on the quality,\"\" he said. They were \"\"unable to find any differences in color, appearance or smell\"\" between produce washed with electrolyzed water and produce washed with tap water."

By Lauren Cooper Last updated: December 24, 2016As far as finger food goes, shrimp cocktail is nutritionally one of the healthier options out there. Consider: One large shrimp has just 7 calories and almost no fat yet packs more than a gram of protein. By comparison, one cocktail-sized pig in a blanket has 67 calories, 6 grams of fat, and 1.5 grams protein. But serve up that shrimp without taking the proper safety precautions and you might end up sending your guests home with an unwanted party favor: food poisoning. Why? Because shrimp may harbor bacteria that could make you sick. In 2014, Consumer Reports purchased and tested almost 500 pounds of frozen shrimp (some raw, some cooked) from stores in 27 cities across the country. What we found concerned us: 60 percent of the raw samples and 16 percent of the cooked samples harbored bacteria, including vibrio and E. coli—bacteria that can cause food poisoning and symptoms like diarrhea and dehydration.

"text": "\"Written by Joanne Marie; Updated July 20, 2017Related Articles List of Good Bacteria Foods That Promote Good Bacteria Good & Bad Effects of Bacteria Bacteria in the Gastrointestinal Tract Your body contains billions of bacterial cells, many of them harmless and some even helpful. Often called \"\"normal flora,\"\" a large number of these helpful bacteria reside in your digestive tract, primarily in your large intestine, or colon. These healthy bacteria carry out several important functions that help digest your food and keep you free of harmful, pathogenic bacteria. When these bacterial colonies are out of balance, a number of problems may result. Intestinal Bacteria Although bacteria reside in many parts of your digestive tract, the great majority are found in your large intestine, where they perform essential functions. According to experts at Southern Illinois University, your colon contains about one billion bacteria per gram of stool, mostly members of the genera Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium and Clostridium. These bacteria help stimulate digestion of food and absorption of nutrients. They also destroy toxic digestive byproducts and synthesize vitamin K. In addition, when your colon contains normal numbers of healthy bacteria, these colonies inhibit the growth of other, pathogenic bacteria you ingest with food. The Colon In certain situations, the colonies of good bacteria that inhabit your colon may die. This might occur if you take antibiotics, which can destroy these good microorganisms along with the unhealthy type they are designed to kill, or if you contract an illness such as the flu or a parasitic infection."

But not only are many types of bacteria actually helpful, some strains may hold the key to fighting global warming, cleaning up pollution, breaking down plastic and even developing a cure for cancer. These 12 amazing discoveries demonstrate the many ways in which microscopic organisms help maintain the health of our own bodies and the entire planet. Gulf Oil Spill Gases Eaten by Bacteria (images via: wikimedia commons)Certain types of bacteria can actually clean up troublesome environmental pollutants like spilled petroleum. In fact, a specific strain called Alcanivorax drastically increases in population when an oil spill provides them with large amounts of food, so that they’re able to remove much of the oil. They’re at work on the Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico right now, and while they certainly can’t undo the vast damage that has been done to this region as a result, they definitely provide a beneficial effect. Bacteria Eat Pollution and Generate Electricity (images via: science news)Bacteria with tiny wire-like appendages called nanowires not only digest toxic waste – including PCBs and chemical solvents – they produce electricity while they’re at it. One type in particular, called Shewanella, is a deep-sea bacteria that grows these oxygen-seeking nanowires when placed in low-oxygen environments. Researchers discovered that when the microbes’ nanowires are pricked with platinum electrodes, they can carry a current. If these capabilities can be harnessed effectively, they could one day be used in sewage treatment plants to simultaneously digest waste and power the facilities."

"text": "Health Benefits Of Prebiotics : What You Need To Knowby Edward Daniel Leave a Comment Do you know what are the health benefits of prebiotics? Prebiotics are soluble fibers that can be found in many of our daily foods. Unlike probiotics (the “good bacteria”), prebiotics are non-living matters. They are some sort of foods that are rich in fiber. Unlike ordinary foods that are easily digestible the moment we eat them, prebiotics do not breakdown when moving through the intestinal tracts. As they cannot be digested, their original shape maintained in the intestine allows “good” healthy bacteria such as lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium infantis to thrive. The bacteria use them as their breeding ground thereby increasing the population of these healthy bacteria in the intestine. As with the growth of these healthy bacteria, they thrive in the digestive tract creating an effect that is known as the prebiotic effect. This is one of the most important health benefits of prebiotics. With sufficient population of these healthy bacteria coupled with the excellent environment for them to thrive, there is no doubt that they can improve the health of the host (our bodies) significantly as they kill off the “bad” bacteria, as well as harmful yeasts."

They might also boost your immune system and promote weight management. Scientists believe probiotics work by helping to repopulate bacterial colonies in the intestines, by changing the way your gut bacteria operates and by adjusting gastrointestinal p H and stimulating immune cells. Fermented dairy products, particularly yogurt, are good sources of these healthy bacteria. Eating any amount of yogurt provides some probiotics, but how much yogurt you need to consume to get a significant health benefit isn't clear. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Quality Control Yogurt only contains probiotics if the label specifies that it “contains active, live cultures.” Any type of heat pasteurization or sterilization kills the bacteria, rendering it useless. “ Today’s Dietitian” notes that organic varieties of yogurt are usually best because they're typically not heat-treated after fermentation. Even if your yogurt contains active cultures, be aware that various brands of yogurt contain different strains of bacteria. Researchers aren’t sure how these wide-ranging strains affect people – some strains may be more effective than others, or certain strains may be more helpful for certain people."

In a new investigation from the Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports, high levels of bacteria commonly linked to poor sanitation and fecal contamination were found in many of the sampled packaged salads. The bacteria did not pose a health risk to the public, but their presence indicated a higher likelihood of contamination with rare but potentially deadly pathogens like E. coli and salmonella, Consumers Union senior scientist Michael Hansen, Ph D, tells Web MD. An E. coli outbreak in the fall of 2006 traced to packaged fresh spinach killed three people and hospitalized more than 100. The cause of the contamination was never confirmed, but the E. coli is widely believed to have reached the spinach through groundwater that contained the feces of cattle and pigs. Oldest Produce Had Most Bacteria Consumer Reports investigators sampled 208 packaged salads, representing 16 brands purchased last summer in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. The salads were sold in either bags or plastic clamshell containers. They found that 39% of the samples contained more than 10,000 \"\"most probable number\"\" per gram -- a measure of total coliforms, which are bacteria associated with fecal contamination. And 23% had more than 10,000 colony forming units (CFU) per gram of the bacterium enterococcus.

Most autotrophic bacteria can synthesize their food from substances like hydrogen sulphide. This process is called chemosynthesis and involves the use of chemical substances for the production of energy.

The fact that colonies do not keep on growing bigger is that they run out of nutrients, and that probably the concentration of toxic waste products gets too high."

Autotroph Bacteria that obtains carbon from organic compounds but obtains energy from light is called a photoautotroph , while Autotroph Bacteria that obtains carbon from organic compounds but obtains energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds is termed a chemoautotroph .3. Photoautotroph Bacteria Photoautotroph Bacteria is a bacteria that carry out photosynthesis . Energy from sunlight , carbon dioxide and water are converted into organic materials. Photosynthetic bacteria have a substance called bacteriochlorophyll , live in lakes and pools, and use the hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide instead of from water, for the chemical process. ( The bacteriochlorophyll pigment absorbs light in the extreme UV and infra-red parts of the spectrum which is outside the range used by normal chlorophyll ).4. Bacteriochlorophyll Thiocystis sp.

The information herein is my summation of the scientific and practical data in various sources including those mentioned in the endnotes. Endnote references are identified in the text by the number in square brackets [x]. Due to text limits, the article is separated into successive posts; the endnotes are in the third part. Bacteria are essential for life on the earth, and they exist everywhere; in only one milliliter of freshwater there are a million bacteria cells, invisible to the naked eye. The name bacteria is the plural of bacterium, which is the Latinized form of the Greek bakterion [bakteria] which means a staff or cane, so named because the first bacteria discovered were rod-shaped. They are single-celled prokaryote microorganisms; prokaryotes are organisms that lack a cell nucleus. Bacteria occur in two forms, autotrophic and heterotrophic. Autotrophic bacteria synthesize their own food, and they require oxygen so they are termed aerobic. Some do this via photosynthesis using sunlight, oxygen and water. Others use chemosynthesis, a process whereby they manufacture carbohydrates from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water using chemical nutrients rather than sunlight as the energy source."

"text": "Difference Between Heterotrophs and Autotrophs May 11, 2017 By Rachna C Leave a Comment Plants, algae and few bacteria are said to be autotrophic as they are able to prepare their own food, with the help of sunlight, air, and water. Conversely animals like cow, dog, lion, horse, etc. are said to be heterotrophic as they cannot prepare their own food and depends directly or indirectly on others for their nutrition. The mode of nutrition acquired by the living organisms or the way organisms consume their food, they are divided into two main categories, which are Heterotrophic and Autotrophic. Autotrophs are called as a primary producer for the reason that they are capable of preparing their own food to gain energy. While heterotrophs are considered as the secondary or tertiary consumer in the food chain. Our Earth contains various organisms and not just humans. Things which should be wondered are that, where these organisms get their nutrition from? What do they eat? How do they grow and develop?"

Autotrophs are the producers in a food chain. Plants and other organisms which carry out photosynthesis are photoautotrophs (or phototrophs). Bacteria which derive energy from oxidizing inorganic compounds (such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonium and ferrous iron) are chemoautotrophs, and include the lithotrophs. Autotrophs are fundamental to the food chains of all plant ecosystems. They take energy from the environment (in the form of sunlight or inorganic chemicals) and use it to create carbon-based organic molecules. Other organisms, called heterotrophs, take in autotrophs as food to carry out such functions."

"text": "Bacteria Bacteria may be defined as a group of microbes sharing the basic features of the survival means adopted by a prokaryote (a cellular being without nucleus and organelles), single-celled organism. Bacteria are amongst the earliest life forms on the earth. Bacteria are present in extremely branched out groups that comprise over 2,000 species, each differing from the other relating to their form, structure of their cells, metabolic competencies, nutritional necessities and even favored environments. From the point of morphology, on average the bacteria measure about anything between one and two micrometers in diameter. Each bacterium has a cell wall that is present on the cell membrane's outer surface and the organism's typical shape is attributable to it. The bacterial cytoplasm is located within the cell membrane and it encloses a variety of substances, counting ribosome; but its cytoplasm does not enclose any membrane-bound organelles, for instance, mitochondria or chloroplasts. Being prokaryotic organisms, bacteria also do not possess a distinct nucleus. However, their cells do enclose a solitary, spherical DNA molecule, which is also known as bacterial chromosome - a substance that encloses all essential genes. A number of bacteria species are also likely to enclose a relatively smaller portion of DNA known as plasmid, which predetermines or instructs all supplementary functions of the organism. In addition, bacteria may either be inactive or dynamic owing to the existence of an extended appendage called flagella."

In this mode of nutrition, the organisms prepare their own food from simple raw materials like water, carbon dioxide and mineral salts in the presence of sunlight. Chlorophylls present in the chloroplast or green plants are the site of food production. Accordingly all green plants are the examples of this category. The process by which they synthesize food is known as photosynthesis. Some nongreen becteria like sulphur bacteria can use energy which they derive from some chemical reactions occurring in them.

Learning Objectives Distinguish between photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs and the ways in which they acquire energy Key Takeaways Key Points Food webs illustrate how energy flows through ecosystems, including how efficiently organisms acquire and use it. Autotrophs, producers in food webs, can be photosynthetic or chemosynthetic. Photoautotrophs use light energy to synthesize their own food, while chemoautotrophs use inorganic molecules. Chemoautotrophs are usually bacteria that live in ecosystems where sunlight is unavailable. Heterotrophs cannot synthesize their own energy, but must obtain it from autotrophs or other heterotrophs; they act as consumers in food webs. Key Termsphotoautotroph: an organism that can synthesize its own food by using light as a source of energychemoautotroph: a simple organism, such as a protozoan, that derives its energy from chemical processes rather than photosynthesisheterotroph: an organism that requires an external supply of energy in the form of food, as it cannot synthesize its own How Organisms Acquire Energy in a Food Web All living things require energy in one form or another since energy is required by most, complex, metabolic pathways (often in the form of ATP ); life itself is an energy-driven process. Living organisms would not be able to assemble macromolecules (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and complex carbohydrates) from their monomeric subunits without a constant energy input. It is important to understand how organisms acquire energy and how that energy is passed from one organism to another through food webs and their constituent food chains. Food webs illustrate how energy flows directionally through ecosystems, including how efficiently organisms acquire it, use it, and how much remains for use by other organisms of the food web."

Unlike the cells of other organisms (plants and animals), protists and bacteria cells have very low level of cell differentiation. Due to this reason, the cells of a single individual are morphologically and functionally similar, thus reduces its adaptations and development capacity. Protists Protists are considered as eukaryotes, basically due to the presence of nucleus of the cell, confined by a nuclear membrane. Most protists are unicellular and contain many organelles including membrane bounded organelles like mitochondria, chloroplast etc. Protists are classified under Kingdom Protista as they do not fit into the other kingdoms. Some protists actively ingest food into their cells, while others can make their own food by means of photosynthesis. Photosynthetic protists such as blue green algae are considered as vital primary producers in ecosystem. Protists can be divided into several groups based on the similarities to other higher kingdoms, including protozoa, protophyta, and slime moulds.

Bacteria Cell Wall Bacteria cell wall is a layered structure which surrounds the protoplasm of the cell to protect cells from the environment. The lipid bilayer cell membrane of most of the Gram-positive bacteria is covered by a porous peptidoglycan layer which does not exclude most antimicrobial agents. Gram-negative bacteria are surrounded by two membranes. The outer membrane functions as an efficient permeability barrier because it contains lipopolysaccharides and proteins. Bacteria cell wall is made up of a unique peptidoglycan (a polymer of disaccharide which is cross linked to amino acids) called Murein.

Report abuse Transcript of Harmful Protists- Protists are a wide group of eukaryotic microorganisms - They are either multicellular or most commonly unicellular - They are most commonly found in the water especially in ponds or lakes - They can be harmful or/and helpful to humans - protists are sorted into three groups or types: animal-like protists, plant-like protists and fungus-like protists What are protists? Harmful Protists By: The Protistas-autotrophic -these protists are the bottom of the aquatic food chain -they are usually single-celled algae eg: Euglena Plant-Like Protists -heterotrophic -have a cell wall made of chitin -use spores to reproduce -saprophytic eg. Slime molds Fungus Like Protists -heterotrophic -they differ from other protists as they can move -unicellular eg.pseudopod Animal Like Protists - when a protist causes harm to an organism or they are the direct cause of the disease - some protists can cause harm to other organisms such as various plants and even some microorganisms such as bacteria - most protists are parasitic meaning that they use another vector to carry the effects to humans eg. insects or contaminated water - these protists are also considered a “bad protist” as they harm humans causing terrible diseases such as malaria and amoebic dysentery What makes a protist harmful? -Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a parasitic protist called plasmodium -It is spread by getting bitten by an infected mosquito, and when the parasite enters the blood stream and liver -It is estimated that 627,000 people died from malaria in 2012 Malaria -an infectious disease that affects humans and animals. -it gets spread by the tsetse fly and is very common in rural areas in Africa, and some parts of Southeast Asia African Sleeping Sickness -A bacteria found in warm bodies of fresh water (hot springs, ponds, lakes, rivers) -affects humans by attacking the central nervous system usually via the nose. -the bacteria travels through the body’s nerve tissue and eventually attacks and consumes brain tissues. Fun Facts 1. Some protists are edible such as red algae."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Biology How are viruses, bacteria, and protists different? Follow 2 answers Answers Best Answer: Difference between viruses and bacteria - the method of reproduction. Bacterium is a completely self-contained and self-reproducing unit. A virus, on the other hand, cannot reproduce without a living host. Difference is there between bacteria and protists - distinction is founded on the complexity of a cell's organization. The cellular organization of bacteria is particularly simple -they do not have membranes binding their nuclear material- and for this reason they are also named prokaryotes (\"\"before-nucleus\"\"). The cellular organization of protists is more complex -they have a membrane-bound nucleus (and other organelles distinct from the cytoplasm)- and they are therefore called eukaryotes (\"\"true-nucleus\"\"). Animals, plants and fungi, being derived from protists, are also eukaryotes.

Characteristics of Protists Protists as a group have very little in common. They are eukaryotic microorganisms with fairly simple eukaryote cell structures. Other than this, they are any organism that is not a plant, animal, bacteria, or fungus. Types of Protists One way protists can be divided up is according to how they move.

In systems of biological classification, they usually are treated as the Kingdom Protista or Protoctista. Protists are more complex than bacteria in that they have cell nuclei, but less complex than fungi, plants, and animals because they are mostly single-celled, or if multi-celled, they lack highly specialized tissues. The protists are a paraphyletic grade, rather than a natural (monophyletic) group, and do not have much in common besides a relatively simple organization. Some call it the \"\"left-overs\"\" from the other eukaryotic kingdoms. Protists are a vital part of the earth's ecosystems and are particularly noteworthy because they make up the largest part of the plankton on which almost all life in the oceans depends. In several ways, protists reveal an astonishing harmony and unity in creation. Small, photosynthetic plankton use carbon dioxide and produce oxygen —indeed most of the world's oxygen—while other organisms consume the oxygen and produce carbon dioxide. The phytoplanton capture the sun's energy, and serve as food and energy for organisms on higher tropic levels, and, to make the circle complete, serve as decomposers in breaking down dead plant and animal material so it can be reused."

"text": "\"Kingdom Protista Phyla Groups Introduction to Kingdom Protista The Kingdom Protista includes an incredible diversity of different types of organisms, including algae, protozoans, and slime molds. No one even knows how many species there are, though estimates range between 65,000 to 200,000. All protists are eukaryotes, complex cells with nuclear membranes and organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts. They can be either unicellular or multicellular, and in this group we find the first inkling of what is to come in evolutionary history, the union of eukaryotic cells into a colonial organism, where various cell types perform certain tasks, communicate with one another, and together function like a multicellular organism. Two Major Groups of Protists:1. Some protists are autotrophs , a photosynthetic group of phyla referred to as the algae. Autotrophs manufacture their own energy by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Algae use various combinations of the major chlorophyll pigments, chlorophyll a, b, and c, mixed with a wide array of other pigments that give some of them very distinctive colors.2. Some protists are heterotrophs , a group of phyla called the protozoa. Heterotrophs get their energy by consuming other organisms."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Fungi (singular Fungus') are organisms and micro-organisms within the fungal kingdom. Fungi are not plants or animals, although they survive and grow by getting nutrients from decaying plants and animals. Unlike plants, fungi do not photosynthesise (how plants get energy from sunlight and grow as a result). Fungi are important as they get nutrients back into the soil, and aid decomposition of plants. Various types of fungi can be eaten, as mushrooms (be careful though as some are poisonous and even deadly), or to make the yeast used in bread and beer. Other types can be used for medicinal reasons penicillin is a type of fungus. Not all fungi is good though, and certain types cause diseases and infections in humans (e.g. ringworm and athlete's foot) and plants.\\ Algae (singular Alga') are organisms which are like plants. They are not the same though as they so not have roots, stems and leaves. However, like plants and unlike fungi, they do use photosynthesis (explained above)."

It feeds by photosynthesis in the light, but uses its flagellum to move about in search of food in the dark, according to the authors of \"\"Biology\"\" (Cengage Learning, 2004). Because it has characteristics of both plants and animals, German biologist Ernst Haeckel proposed in 1886 that a third kingdom, Protista, be established to accommodate microorganisms that did not fit into the plant or animal kingdom. Credit: Lebendkulturen.de | Shutterstock Protists are a diverse collection of organisms. While exceptions exist, they are primarily microscopic and unicellular, or made up of a single cell. The cells of protists are highly organized with a nucleus and specialized cellular machinery called organelles. At one time, simple organisms such as amoebas and single-celled algae were classified together in a single taxonomic category: the kingdom Protista. However, the emergence of better genetic information has since led to a clearer understanding of evolutionary relationships among different groups of protists, and this classification system was rendered defunct. Understanding protists and their evolutionary history continues to be a matter of scientific discovery and discussion."

"text": "BACTERIAby Wim van Egmond Merismopedia, a cyanobacteria Bacteria are the most ancient life forms Most bacteria are so small that under a light microscope you can only see them as little dots. Some groups however grow to larger sizes and have spectacular shapes. The top picture shows an example of the beauty of one of the more advanced groups of bacteria, the cyanobacteria, or blue green algae. For a long time they were regarded algae since they performed photosynthesis. But they are nowadays regarded bacteria: they lack a membrane bound nucleus. DNA is present in a loop in the cytoplasm. Because they have a very distinct blue green colour a bloom of cyanobacteria is clearly visible when a pond or ditch becomes blue-ish green. Bacteria were the most prominent creatures in the early stages of life's history almost 4000 million years until 600 million years ago. Fossils called stromatolites can still be found and were made by Cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria were essential for the developing of more complicated life forms They produced the oxygen in our atmosphere."

"text": "Full Answer Bacteria are some of the smallest microorganisms in the world, and they are only visible under very high magnification. Bacteria are ubiquitous, and many varieties are present in most pond water samples. Many tiny arthropods, such as copepods, also inhabit pond water and are visible to the naked eye. Large specimens may exceed 3 millimeters in length. Protists are common, primitive organisms that live in pond water. Algae are plant-like protists, while protozoans are animal-like and are similar to very simple animals. Because they are photosynthetic, most algae are green; however, a few types are yellowish-brown. Many protozoans possess whip-like flagella or hair-like cilia that enable them to move about through the water. Creatures called tardigrades also inhabit pond water. These tiny creatures, which are slightly less than 1 millimeter in length, are also called “water bears,” as they bear a strong resemblance to the large mammals."

"text": "Bioluminescence, emission of light by an organism or by a laboratory biochemical system derived from an organism. It could be the ghostly glow of bacteria on decaying meat or fish, the shimmering radiance of protozoans in tropical seas, or the flickering signals of fireflies. The phenomenon occurs sporadically in a wide range of protists and animals, from bacteria and fungi to insects, marine invertebrates, and fish, but it is not known to exist naturally in true plants or in amphibians, reptiles, birds, or mammals. Bioluminescence results from a chemical reaction ( chemiluminescence) in which the conversion of chemical energy to radiant energy is direct and virtually 100 percent efficient; i.e., very little heat is given off in the process. For that reason, the emission is called cold light or luminescence. The role of bioluminescence in behaviour Light production appears to be associated with the protection and survival of a species. That is quite clear in certain squids, who secrete a luminous cloud to confuse an enemy and make an escape, and in many deep-sea fishes who dangle luminous lures to attract prey or who show light organs to disguise their form from enemies, frighten predators, or simply light the way in the darkness of the ocean deeps. The survival value of bioluminescence is indisputable for many organisms who use their flashes as species-recognition and mating signals.time-lapse photo of fireflies Time-lapse image of fireflies in the Catskill Mountains, New York. Firefly light is a cold light, with approximately 100 percent of the energy given off as light and only a minute amount as heat. Only light in the visible spectrum is emitted.s58y In Photinus pyralis, a common North American firefly, the male flashes spontaneously while in flight, emitting on average a 0.3-second flash every 5.5 seconds if the temperature is 25 °C (77 °F)."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Portable water purification devices – better described as point-of-use ( POU) water treatment systems and field water disinfection techniques – are self-contained, usually hand-carried units used by recreational enthusiasts, military personnel, survivalists and people without access to water supply services in developing countries for water purification when they need to obtain drinking water from untreated sources (e.g. rivers, lakes, groundwater etc.). These personal devices and methods aim to render water potable (i.e. safe and palatable for drinking purposes – without disease-causing pathogens ). Techniques include heat (including boiling), filtration, activated charcoal adsorption, chemical disinfection (e.g. chlorination, iodine, ozonation, etc. ), ultraviolet purification (including SODIS ), distillation (including solar distillation), and flocculation. Often these are used in combination. Many commercial portable water purification systems or chemical additives are available for hiking, camping, and other travel in remote areas. Portable water purification methods are also commonly used at household level in developing countries when the source of drinking water is not suitable for drinking (also called \"\" unimproved water source \"\") – an approach called self-supply of water.

These organisms differ radically, and share only their small size; most are not visible without a microscope, though colonies of some can be seen with the naked eye. Microorganisms are present in large quantities everywhere and can survive extreme physical and chemical conditions. Many microorganisms play foundational roles in aquatic ecosystems, capturing the sun’s energy through photosynthesis and, through their role in decomposition, releasing nutrients stored in organic tissue. Bacteria Some of the smallest and most ancient organisms on earth, bacteria are present in virtually every environment and are abundant in all aquatic systems. In rivers and streams, many of the bacteria wash in from the surrounding land, and their abundance can increase dramatically after a rainfall. The abundance of bacteria is typically in the millions per millilitre (m L), and in the hundreds of millions per millilitre in especially productive or polluted waters. If conditions are right, bacteria reproduce extremely rapidly by simple division to produce very large numbers in a short period of time. Bacteria can be found suspended in the water, associated with decaying material (such as dead wood or leaves), or coating the surface of rocks, stones and sand grains as part of the biofilm (the slippery coating on hard surfaces in rivers). They can make up a large fraction of the living material in aquatic systems."

"text": "Communicable Diseases Module: 1. Basic Concepts in the Transmission of Communicable Diseases Study Session 1 Basic Concepts in the Transmission of Communicable Diseases Introduction As you will recall from the Module on Health Education, Advocacy and Community Mobilisation, health is defined as a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being and not the mere absence of disease. The term disease refers to a disturbance in the normal functioning of the body and is used interchangeably with ‘illness’. Diseases may be classified as communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by infectious agents that can be transmitted to other people from an infected person, animal or a source in the environment. Communicable diseases constitute the leading cause of health problems in Ethiopia. Before we describe each communicable disease relevant to Ethiopia in detail in later study sessions, it is important that you first learn about the basic concepts underlying communicable diseases. Understanding these basic concepts will help you a lot, as they form the basis for this Module. In this first study session, we introduce you to definitions of important terms used in communicable diseases, the types of infectious agents that cause these diseases, the main factors involved in their transmission, and the stages in their natural development. This will help you to understand how measures for the prevention and control of communicable diseases are put into place at several levels of the health system, including in homes and at your Health Post – which is the focus of Study Session 2."

"text": "\"Principle of the counterillumination camouflage of the firefly squid, Watasenia scintillans. When seen from below by a predator, the animal's light helps to match its brightness and colour to the sea surface above. Counter-illumination is a method of active camouflage seen in marine animals such as firefly squid and midshipman fish, and in military prototypes, producing light to match their backgrounds in both brightness and wavelength. Marine animals of the mesopelagic (mid-water) zone tend to appear dark against the bright water surface when seen from below. They can camouflage themselves, often from predators but also from their prey, by producing light with bioluminescencephotophores on their downward-facing surfaces, reducing the contrast of their silhouettes against the background. The light may be produced by the animals themselves, or by symbiotic bacteria, often Aliivibrio fischeri. Counter-illumination differs from countershading, which uses only pigments such as melanin to reduce the appearance of shadows. It is one of the dominant types of aquatic camouflage, along with transparency and silvering. All three methods make animals in open water resemble their environment. Counter-illumination has not so far come into widespread military use, but during the Second World War it was trialled in ships in the Canadian Diffused lighting camouflage project, and in aircraft in the American Yehudi lights project."

Unlike the reproductive spores of fungi and plants, these endospores are resistant to heat, drying, radiation, and various chemical disinfectants (see Labs 19 and 20)Endospore formation (sporulation) occurs through a complex series of events. One is produced within each vegetative bacterium. Once the endospore is formed, the vegetative portion of the bacterium is degraded and the dormant endospore is released. First the DNA replicates and a cytoplasmic membrane septum forms at one end of the cell. A second layer of cytoplasmic membrane then forms around one of the DNA molecules (the one that will become part of the endospore) to form a forespore. Both of these membrane layers then synthesize peptidoglycan in the space between them to form the first protective coat, the cortex. Calcium dipocolinate is also incorporated into the forming endospore. A spore coat composed of a keratin-like protein then forms around the cortex."

Water percolating through soil and rock can dissolve minerals containing iron and manganese and hold them in solution in varying amounts, depending on other water properties, such as p H, oxygen levels, salinity, and the presence or absence of other chemicals in solution. Iron pipe corrosion may be a source of iron in drinking water. In aquifers, where oxygen content is low, reduced forms of iron and manganese predominate in clear and colorless forms. When water from aquifers containing iron and manganese is exposed to air, these elements are oxidized (combine with oxygen) to less water soluble forms. Upon oxidation, colored forms of iron and manganese become visible in water. In the case of iron, white, then yellow and finally red-brown solid particles form that settle out of the water. Iron oxide particles may not settle out and can impart the water with a red tint. Oxidized forms of manganese usually remain dissolved in water, giving it a black tint. These abrupt changes in the chemical forms of iron and manganese are responsible for the staining properties of aquifer waters containing high concentrations of these elements."

These infectious pathogens are highly contagious, especially when dogs congregate in high-density areas such as pet stores, animal shelters, boarding facilities, dog parks or dog shows, and even more so when those areas are not kept clean. Immunocompromised dogs, puppies and unvaccinated dogs are at an increased risk for developing URT disease. Bacteria and Viruses Bordetella bronchiseptica is the most common primary bacterial pathogen causing canine URT infection (it causes infectious tracheobronchitis, commonly called “kennel cough”). The signs associated with URT infection caused by Bordetella bronchiseptica are indistinguishable from the early signs caused by secondary bacterial pathogens, including Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Pasteurella, Streptococcus, Mycoplasma and several other bacterial species. Viral causes of canine upper respiratory tract infection in dogs include the canine distemper virus, canine adenovirus type 1 or 2 (CAV-1 causes infectious canine hepatitis and CAV-2 is a cause of kennel cough), canine parainfluenzavirus (CPI), canine influenza virus (CIV), canine reovirus type 1, 2 or 3 and canine herpes virus. CAV-2 and the canine parainfluenzavirus can damage the respiratory epithelium so severely that affected dogs are highly likely to develop serious upper airway disease. Parasites The canine nasal mite, Pneumonyssoides caninum, is an arthropod found in the nasal cavities and sinuses of dogs. When present, these mites cause sneezing, chronic nasal discharge (runny nose), coughing, inflammation and swelling of the nasal mucosa and epistaxis (nose bleeds), and can predispose infected dogs to secondary bacterial infections of the upper respiratory tract. They are transmitted between dogs based on direct contact with an infected animal."

Parainfluenza virus is easily spread from dog to dog and causes symptoms which may become fatal. The highest instances of this respiratory infection are seen in areas with high dog populations, such as race tracks, boarding kennels and pet stores, but it remains highly contagious to any dog of any age. Symptoms Symptoms of parainfluenza virus include many general symptoms seen in other infections, viruses and diseases. Symptoms can vary in intensity and commonly affect younger puppies and aging dogs the worst. This virus is commonly mistaken for kennel cough, as the symptoms between the two are similar. It's important to keep in mind that kennel cough usually produces no additional symptoms, other than the cough. Symptoms to look for when parainfluenza virus is suspected are as follows: Dry or hacking cough that may worsen with activity Fever Difficulty with breathing, wheezing Runny nose Sneezing Runny eyes, eye inflammation or conjunctivitis Possible pneumonia with depression, loss of appetite and lethargy Diagnosis and Differentiation When parainfluenza virus is suspected but only a cough exists, certain tests will be required to differentiate between kennel cough and the more serious parainfluenza virus."

In general terms, the respiratory system is divided into two parts. The upper respiratory tract consists of the nose, nasal sinuses, throat and trachea or windpipe while the lower respiratory tract consists of the 'small airways' (bronchi and bronchioles) and the alveoli (the small air sacs deep in the lung tissue where oxygen exchange occurs). Strictly speaking, bronchopneumonia is an inflammation of both the lungs and the airways (bronchi and bronchioles), while pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs or lower respiratory tract. However, the terms are often used interchangeably. What causes pneumonia? In general terms, inflammation is the response of tissues or cells to injury, irritation, or infection. In the dog, most cases of pneumonia are caused by a bacterial infection. The most common bacteria that cause pneumonia in the dog are Bordetella bronchiseptica, Streptococcus zooepidemicus, Pasteurella multocida, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, E. coli and Mycoplasma species. Bordetella bronchiseptica is highly contagious and may spread easily to other dogs."

"text": "Infectious Tracheobronchitis (Kennel Cough) in Dogs17 Sep, 2015 Pet Place.com Veterinarians 440,688 Views Share Overview of Kennel Cough in Dogs You might think your dog has something stuck in his throat. The cough associated with acute infectious tracheobronchitis, (ITB) or kennel cough, is a high-pitched, honk-like cough, sometimes followed by retching. Kennel cough is a highly contagious inflammation of the trachea (windpipe) and bronchial tree caused by a contagious virus (adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, canine distemper virus) or bacterium ( Bordetella bronchiseptica ). The disease is associated most often with dogs housed in a high-density population or boarding kennel. The infectious agents can be transmitted through the air or by contact with contaminated surfaces. Puppies and younger dogs are at greatest risk, but even old dogs can acquire kennel cough. The incubation period from the time the dog first contracts the infection to the time that symptoms develop is typically between 3 to 10 days, and the symptoms can last for days to weeks. A mild to moderate cough without other symptoms is usually self-limiting; however, occasional cases become lingering and cause chronic bronchitis. What to Watch For Kennel cough causes a variety of symptoms that can vary in severity. Signs of upper respiratory problems such as conjunctivitis (irritated eyes), rhinitis (runny nose) or sneezing may be observed."

As the name suggests, it is typified by inflammation of the trachea and bronchi. This disease is found throughout the world and is known to infect a high percentage of dogs at least once during their lifetime. It is also sometimes referred to as bordetellosis. Young puppies often suffer the most severe complications that can result from this disease since they have immature immune systems. Also at increased risk are older dogs, who may have decreased immune capabilities, pregnant bitches, who also have lowered immunity, and dogs with preexisting respiratory diseases. SYMPTOMSA persistent cough is the most common symptom Retching Watery nasal discharge In mild cases, dogs are often active and eating normally In severe cases, symptoms progress and can include pneumonia, inappetence, fever, lethargy and even death CAUSESSome of the most common microorganisms that contribute to infectious canine tracheobronchitis are Bordetella bronchiseptica bacteria, canine adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, and mycoplasma. Any of these organisms can cause the symptoms of this disease, alone or in combination. Infections with multiple organisms tend to cause the most severe symptoms."

A: Canine influenza (CI), or dog flu, is a highly contagious respiratory infection of dogs that is caused by an influenza A virus. In the U. S., canine influenza has been caused by two influenza strains. The first strain reported in the United States, beginning in 2004, was an H3N8 influenza A virus. This strain is closely related to the virus that causes equine influenza, and it is thought that the equine influenza virus mutated to produce the canine strain. In 2015, an outbreak that started in Chicago was caused by a separate canine influenza virus, H3N2. The strain causing the 2015 outbreak was almost genetically identical to an H3N2 strain previously reported only in Asia – specifically, Korea, China and Thailand. In Asia. This H3N2 strain is believed to have resulted from the direct transfer of an avian influenza virus – possibly from among viruses circulating in live bird markets – to dogs. Since March 2015, thousands of dogs have been confirmed positive for H3N2 canine influenza across the U. S. Two clinical syndromes have been seen in dogs infected with the canine influenza virus—a mild form of the disease and a more severe form that is accompanied by pneumonia."

The name comes from the Danish bacteriologist Hans Christian Gram, who developed the technique. Gram staining differentiates bacteria by the chemical and physical properties of their cell walls by detecting peptidoglycan, which is present in the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative cells also contain peptidoglycan, but a very small layer of it that is dissolved when the alcohol is added. This is why the cell loses its initial color from the primary stain. [ 1] Gram-positive bacteria retain the crystal violet dye, and thus are stained violet, while the Gram-negative bacteria do not; after washing, a counterstain is added (commonly safranin or fuchsine) that will stain these Gram-negative bacteria a pink color. Both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria pick up the counterstain. The counterstain, however, is unseen on Gram-positive bacteria because of the darker crystal violet stain. The Gram stain is almost always the first step in the preliminary identification of a bacterial organism. While Gram staining is a valuable diagnostic tool in both clinical and research settings, not all bacteria can be definitively classified by this technique."

This technique is used to classify bacteria as either Gram-positive or Gram-negative depending on their colour following a specific staining procedure originally developed by Hans Christian Gram. Gram-positive bacteria appear dark blue or violet due to the crystal violet stain following the Gram stain procedure; Gram-negative bacteria, which cannot retain the crystal violet stain, appear red or pink due to the counterstain (usually safranin).

Violet stained Gram-positive cocci and pink stained Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria Gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that give a positive result in the Gram stain test, which is traditionally used to quickly classify bacteria into two broad categories according to their cell wall. Gram-positive bacteria take up the crystal violet stain used in the test, and then appear to be purple-coloured when seen through a microscope. This is because the thick peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial cell wall retains the stain after it is washed away from the rest of the sample, in the decolorization stage of the test. Gram-negative bacteria cannot retain the violet stain after the decolorization step; alcohol used in this stage degrades the outer membrane of Gram-negative cells, making the cell wall more porous and incapable of retaining the crystal violet stain.

Despite their thicker peptidoglycan layer, Gram-positive bacteria are more receptive to antibiotics than Gram-negative, due to the absence of the outer membrane.

Many structural features are unique to bacteria and are not found among archaea or eukaryotes. Because of the simplicity of bacteria relative to larger organisms and the ease with which they can be manipulated experimentally, the cell structure of bacteria has been well studied, revealing many biochemical principles that have been subsequently applied to other organisms.

In 1977, American microbiologist, Carl Woese altered the previous two-domain system of Eukaryota (Eukarya) and Prokaryota. The Prokaryota domain was split into the two separate domains of Bacteria and Archaea. Woese was able to look at the similarities and differences of living organisms at the genetic sequencing level. More specifically, Woese analyzed how closely organisms were related based on the 16S ribosomal RNA or r RNA present in all organisms. With the new knowledge from the study of organisms' biochemical differences, scientists were able to classify life on earth into three distinctive groups, or domains: Eukarya, Bacteria, and Archaea. Archaea is more closely related to Eukaryotes than Eubacteria Classification [ edit]Eukarya [ edit]All multicellular organisms are made of eukaryotic cells Most living plants and animals are composed of eukaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells receive their name from the Greek eu meaning true and karyon suggesting that they have a true nucleus which contains their DNA. The determining factor for this domain is the presence of a distinct membrane-bound nucleus in each cell."

"text": "Disease Prone Peptidoglycan - The bacterial wonder wall By James Byrne on September 14, 2011Quick, can you describe your grandparents? Staphylococcus aureus, or the Golden Staph, can and it is a single cell. If you couldn't you should visit them more often. In any case, a very cool paper came out recently but before we can get there we need to begin by going backwards to explain a very important bacterial structure called peptidoglycan. Peptidoglycan is a polymer of amino acids (hence the peptido-) and sugars (hence the –glycan) that makes up the cell wall of all bacteria. This structure is so fundamental to bacterial life that major functional division of bacterial species is based on the structure of this peptidoglycan layer, which can be exploited by a special staining protocol. Yeah, I've used this before but its still works. Credit: Me. Back in 1884 a guy named Gram developed a staining technique to visualise bacterial samples (now called a Gram stain ). It was really important because, as the story goes, pneumonia was a big problem at the time and there were three causes; unknown (later identified as viral pneumonia) and two types of bacterial pneumonia caused by either Streptococcus pneumoniae or Klebsiella pneumoniae."

True to its name, the simple stain is a very simple staining procedure involving single solution of stain. Any basic dye such as methylene blue, safranin, or crystal violet can be used to color the bacterial cells. These stains will readily give up a hydroxide ion or accept a hydrogen ion, which leaves the stain positively charged. Since the surface of most bacterial cells and cytoplasm is negatively charged, these positively charged stains adhere readily to the cell surface. After staining, bacterial cell morphology (shape and arrangements) can be appreciated. Procedure Simple Staining Procedure Preparation of a smear and heat fixing Using a sterilized inoculating loop, transfer loopful of liquid suspension containing bacteria to a slide (clean grease free microscopic slide) or transfer an isolated colony from a culture plate to a slide with a water drop. Disperse the bacteria on the loop in the drop of water on the slide and spread the drop over an area the size of a dime. It should be a thin, even smear. Allow the smear to dry thoroughly."

Serum proteins carry a negative charge at p H 8.6 and move toward the anode. Serum is placed into a sample trough within agarose gel in an alkaline buffer. A standardized voltage is applied and upon staining, five distinct protein bands (albumin, α 1, α 2, β, and γ) are seen. The relative migration rate of proteins is based on ionic charge. The membrane is then run through a densitometer and the light absorbance by the protein bands is recorded. The absorbance of light is proportional to the relative protein concentration. The protein concentration of each band in g/d L is then calculated.

The basic idea behind stains is that they facilitate viewing and examination by providing contrast.2. Stains also have other uses, such as to distinguish organisms amongst each other. You could also do viability stains which is typically an oxymoron because when you stain it, you kill the organism. Viability stains differentiate between live and dead bacterial cells in a sample (before they all die).3. Stains can also provide structural details and composition and in respect to viability, some status on the organism such as metabolism.4. Stains are critical because they provide data on morphology so you could tell the shape, size, and identification but of course there’s a limit. On a gram stain you can’t specifically get the ID but you could do a presumptive identification. Types: Simple stains are single dyes used to stain the organism and it has limited clinical application. The dye is negative and the bacterium is positively charged and they will get stained due to the interaction of the opposite charges."

"text": "Simple Stains ( Atlas, p 27-28)Because cells are mostly water, they are largely transparent unless they contain a pigment such as chlorophyll. Viewing transparent cells is rather difficult under a microscope because the cytoplasm has little contrast from the cell's background. Staining cells, especially small bacteria, greatly aids viewing because it increases the contrast between the cell and its background. Once you can clearly see the cells, the cell morphology (shape), size, and growth pattern may be determined. There are two types of simple stains, basic stains and negative stains. A basic stain stains the bacteria (the stain is a positively charged molecule that attaches to cells which are negatively charged or to negatively charged molecules in cells.) A negative stain does not stain cells (why its called a negative stain), it stains the background around the cells. Basically a simple stain is staining cells with just one stain, there are two types: basic stains and negative stains. Purpose: to make the cells show up better (from a higher contrast) and to ascertain the cell shape, size, and growth pattern. Procedure for Simple Basic Stains: Obtain a bacterial smear that has been dried and heat fixed."

Principle: The identification of bacteria is a careful and systematic process that uses many different techniques to narrow down the types of bacteria that are present in an unknown bacterial culture. It produces benefits for many aspects of the research of microorganisms and helps physicians correctly treat patients. Multiple tests were performed to provide the fermentation abilities, presence of certain enzymes, and certain biochemical reactions. Qualitative observations were made on the tests, which were compared to unknown bacteria identification key to aid with the identification process. Various steps involved in the identification of unknown bacteria are: Isolation: The importance of this step is to isolate pure colonies of bacteria. The streak plate is a qualitative isolation method; quadrant streaking is mostly done to obtain pure colonies. The inoculation of the culture is made on the agar surface by back and forth streaking with the inoculation loop over the solid agar surface. This will make a dilution gradient across the agar plate.

A capsule is a gelatinous outer layer secreted by bacterial cell and that surrounds and adheres to the cell wall. Most capsules are composed of polysaccharides, but some are composed of polypeptides. The capsule differs from the slime layer that most bacterial cells produce in that it is a thick, detectable, discrete layer outside the cell wall. The capsule stain employs an acidic stain and a basic stain to detect capsule production. Principle of Capsule Staining Capsules stain very poorly with reagents used in simple staining and a capsule stain can be, depending on the method, a misnomer because the capsule may or may not be stained. Negative staining methods contrast a translucent, darker colored, background with stained cells but an unstained capsule. The background is formed with india ink or nigrosin or congo red. India ink is difficult to obtain nowadays; however, nigrosin is easily acquired. A positive capsule stain requires a mordant that precipitates the capsule."

A dialysis fluid arrives for routine analysis and a gram stain is performed on a cytospin (1) of the sample. Under the microscope no bacteria are initially evident during repeated scans - yet something catches the technologist’s eye. It may have been the odd string of purple-blue dots or perhaps thin strands of clearing where the surrounding material uniformly retains the safranin gram counterstain. An astute colleague recently encountered that very scenario and immediately knew something was amiss. She immediately suspected the presence of either Nocardia, or due the site, more likely Mycobacterium species. A fluorescent acid-fast (2) Auromine-O stain was performed to confirm her suspicious of presence Mycobacterium species. The patient was a 72 year old Oriental gentleman with chronic renal failure receiving peritoneal dialysis. The specimen was sent to the provincial health laboratories the following morning where further analysis by AMTD (3) confirmed the identity as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB). The diagnosis came as a total surprise to the doctor in charge."

Once in ketosis, your body burns fat instead of sugar and you’ll see accelerated weight loss as a result. The ideal ratio of fat to protein to carbs is 65% / 30% / 5%. Your carbs should ideally come from whole-food sources such as vegetables, nuts, dairy, etc. Try your best to avoid refined carbohydrates such as breads, pastas and cereals; starches such as potatoes, beans and legumes; and other refined sugars such as white sugar, HFCS, and even sugar from fruits. Most meals should focus on a protein and a fat with a side of vegetables. Some examples would be; a steak with a side of sauteed spinach, or chicken thighs with a side of broccoli and cheese sauce. Snacks can include nuts and seeds, cheese, or anything “keto-friendly”. Adequate protein is a very important aspect of the Ketosis Diet and it will help you preserve muscle mass."

"text": "No added sugar: How to quit the sweet stuff for a healthy New Year LAWYER David Gillespie lost over six stone in just one year by cutting sugar from his diet. He read thousands of scientific papers to find out why sugar is so bad for us and turned his results into two best-selling books. Here's how he did it - and how you can too. By Rachel Carlyle PUBLISHED: 00:00, Sun, Jan 5, 2014SUGAR RUSH: Western countries are eating an average of 35 to 40 teaspoons a day [GETTY ]To read David's weight loss story click here and to find out how you could look and feel healthier read on for tips, hints and facts about cutting sugar from your diet. DAVID'S FIVE STEPS TO GIVING UP SUGAR1. Remove the easy sugars from your diet That means all sweets, chocolate, cakes, biscuits, soft drinks (except diet ones) and fruit juice, cereal bars, most breakfast cereals and fruit yogurts, plus sweet spreads such as jam and honey, and all dried fruit. Don’t treat this as an exercise in deprivation: view it as breaking an addiction. You will probably suffer withdrawal symptoms for a few weeks and crave food every two or three hours, but substitute sweet snacks for savoury ones (see 5, below), switch to diet drinks and persevere. Once this tricky bit is over, you will stop craving it altogether and feel healthier, slimmer and more in control of your appetite.2. Go through cupboards and get rid of the hidden sugar Look at every label: you’ll be surprised how sugary many foods are, from salad dressings and mayonnaise (especially the low-fat versions which have more sugar) to balsamic vinegar and condiments such as barbecue sauce, tomato ketchup and hoisin sauce."

"text": "\"Choosing healthier foods is easier than you may think. By changing just a few eating habits you can make a big difference to your diet. Making small changes to your diet is the healthiest and most achievable way to lose weight. Your first step is to eat fewer foods high in calories, fat, salt and sugars and swap them for something healthier, including more fruit and vegetables. Remember, small changes can add up to make a big overall difference to your diet. Find out more from the Eatwell Guide about which foods you should be eating – and in what amounts – to achieve a balanced diet. Food and drink swaps Try these small changes when you have your next meal or drink, or when you open the kitchen cupboard or fridge looking for a snack. Once you've got started, try thinking of your own healthier swaps, too. When buying pre-packed food, don't rely on the attractive promotional print on the wrapping, which can be misleading. Instead, learn to read the nutritional information when checking for calorie, fat, salt and sugar content."

March 18, 2016 A study from Yale found that it’s better for kids to have two breakfast than to have none. Students who participated in school breakfast programs were less likely to become overweight or obese even if they had breakfast at home before having it again at school.

You've been hitting the gym, getting enough sleep—but if you don’t eat the right foods, you'll slow down your progress. You need to choose meals and snacks that will feed your muscles and fuel your body. A well-balanced diet—that will do just that—includes whole grains, fruit, vegetables, lean protein, and low fat dairy. Muscles also love branch chain amino acids (BCAA) which can be found in foods like lean meats, poultry, low fat dairy, and peanut butter. But what you should eat aside, there are also foods that can sabotage all your hard work—here are some of the worst 20. Go Nuts (the Smart Way) >>>1. Bagels One store-bought bagel has about 400 calories, all of refined carbohydrates. Add cream cheese and you’re not really getting anything more than saturated fat. Neither the bagel or the cream cheese will do much to help build muscles."

"text": "20 Jan 2012Bob Brown0Uncategorized Are Whole Eggs or Egg Whites Better I was on a weekend trip with some friends recently and one of my friends was cooking breakfast for the whole group. I went over to see what he was cooking and saw he was getting ready to make a big batch of eggs. Well, to my shock and horror, I noticed that he was cracking the eggs open and screening the egg whites into a bowl and throwing out the egg yolks. I asked him why the heck he was throwing out the egg yolks, and he replied something like this…“because I thought the egg yolks were terrible for you…that’s where all the nasty fat and cholesterol is”. And I replied, “you mean that’s where all of the nutrition is!”This is a perfect example of how confused most people are about nutrition. In a world full of misinformation about nutrition, somehow most people now mistakenly think that the egg yolk is the worst part of the egg, when in fact, the YOLK IS THE HEALTHIEST PART OF THE EGG!By throwing out the yolk and only eating egg whites, you’re essentially throwing out the most nutrient dense, antioxidant-rich, vitamin and mineral loaded portion of the egg. The yolks contain so many B-vitamins, trace minerals, vitamin A, folate, choline, lutein, and other powerful nutrients… it’s not even worth trying to list them all. In fact, the egg whites are almost devoid of nutrition compared to the yolks. Even the protein in egg whites isn’t as powerful without the yolks to balance out the amino acid profile and make the protein more bio-available. Not to even mention that the egg yolks from free range chickens are loaded with healthy omega-3 fatty acids."

You can – with ‘good’ carbohydrates! For years health and diet experts have been talking about the importance of eating healthy fats like olive oil, but now we’re learning that choosing the right kinds of carbohydrates is just as important for your health and wellness. We already know that the human body uses carbohydrates more efficiently for energy production compared to fats and proteins. So normally it’s not a good idea to avoid all carbs, even if you’re trying to lose weight. But there is a BIG difference between the natural, wholesome, ‘good’ carbs our bodies are designed to eat and the unnatural, highly-processed, ‘refined’ carbs so many of us consume on a daily basis!Over-consumption of these bad carbs is leading to a health crisis in America and many other parts of the world in the forms of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Unfortunately, many people are simply unaware of the damage they are doing to their bodies every time they eat low-quality, highly-processed carbs. What’s worse, many parents don’t realize that they are setting their kids up for a lifetime of health problems by allowing them to develop the ‘junk food habit’ at a young age!If you want to learn about good carbs and how they can improve your life – and the lives of the people you love – you’ve come to the right place! Good Carbs.org is a free resource for anyone who wants to learn how to identify healthy carbohydrate foods and use them to get fit and stay healthy.

"text": "\"What to Eat for Energy Before a Football Gameby STEVE SILVERMAN Sept. 11, 2017Eating before a football game is serious business. Players need to have sufficient energy to last for anywhere between 48 minutes--during high school games--and 60 minutes--during college and professional games. Players are required to expend maximum energy on 50 to 75 plays per game, and they must have the energy reserves to perform this task. Since football requires so many bursts of energy throughout the game, carbohydrate intake is vital to getting the most out of your performance while maintaining your health. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Carbohydrate Intake The body can store the fuel found in carbohydrates and use it throughout the game when playing football. According to Dr. Leslie Bonci, the director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and a nutrition consultant for the Pittsburgh Steelers, believes that 55 to 60 percent of a football player's game day diet should come from carbohydrates, 15 percent should come from protein and 30 percent should come from fat. Bonci says that a game day meal should resemble a \"\"peace sign,\"\" because it will be 1/3 protein, 1/3 starch and 1/3 fruits and vegetables. The protein sources can be fish, chicken or red meat, the carbohydrate sources should be rice, pasta or potatoes and the fruits and vegetables can be anything that is fresh. Eating healthy carbs can be the key to a player maintaining the correct weight and energy levels. \"\" I emphasize carbohydrate-containing foods with lower fat: bagels over doughnuts, mashed potatoes over fries, grilled chicken over fried, frozen yogurt over ice cream,\"\" Bonci says. \"\""

"text": "How many calories does that breakfast sandwich have?by Lisa Fletcher A AMany people understand that a scoop of ice cream or a slice of cheesy pizza are delicious splurges full of calories. But what if you could have three scoops of Ben & Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream or three slices of pepperoni pizza and still not consume the amount of calories and fat in some breakfast sandwiches?“You used to go to Mc Donald's, get your Egg Mc Muffin, get your coffee, breakfast was done,” says Jayne Hurley, senior nutritionist with the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “ But breakfast sandwiches now available at many of these restaurants are like having two or three Egg Mc Muffins with your cup of coffee. ”It turns out that some of these fast-food breakfast sandwiches are packed with calories. The Dunkin' Donuts’ sausage, egg and cheese croissant has 690 calories and 48 grams of fat. Mc Donald's steak, egg and cheese bagel has 710 calories and 37 grams of fat. And the Burger King Enormous Omelet Breakfast Sandwich? 760 calories and 44 grams of fat. Experts recommend adults have no more than 2,000 calories, 20 grams of saturated fat and 1,800 milligrams of sodium per day. Many of the sandwiches cover more than half of that."

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

Updated Jun 13, 2017 · Author has 5.6k answers and 6m answer views It depends. If you have one ticket (and note a ticket is not a reservation - a reservation may have more than one ticket) *and* the airlines have what is called an interline agreement (basically they sign up to accepts each others tickets and switch bags) *and* the checkin clerk tags your bag to say it needs to go to your final destination and what the connecting point is *and* the arriving flight is on time then, yes, bags should be through checked. In answer to your specific questions provided you have one ticket your bag should be through checked between AA and UA. However, I don't believe Go Air has an agreement with Jet. You should therefore allow sufficient time between those flights so that you can collect your bags and then recheck - that will take longer (probably much longer) than in the USA. An hour or two won't be enough. I would allow a minimum of 4 and if I could manage it more (even if that meant a night stop). I just had another thought.

"text": "Trip Planning Air Travel Top 10 Luggage and Carry-on Baggage Myths By Benet Wilson Updated 12/12/17Share Pin Email•••With the advent of baggage fees (except on Southwest Airlines), it can be confusing to travelers to know what carriers' policies are when it comes to checked and carry-on baggage. So allow us to separate fiction from fact when it comes to checking in luggage and toting your carry-on pieces. 1. You will be reimbursed for all the items in a lost piece of luggage. You can expect to be reimbursed if the airlines lose your luggage, but there are limits. It is $2500 for a domestic flight. For international travel, the Warsaw Convention applies, which limits liability to approximately $9.07 per pound up to $640.00 per bag for checked baggage and $400.00 per customer for unchecked baggage. If you check items that cost more than these limits, make sure they are covered under your homeowners insurance.2. If you are connecting to another airline your luggage will automatically be accepted by another. This is not necessarily true when it comes to heavier luggage."

"text": "\"General Luggage Policies Note that when maximum size measurements are shown as a total number of inches (eg 45\"\") this is the total of the length, width and height of the piece. There are standard sets of dimensions that go to make up these totals (for example, 22 x 14 x 9 is the standard for 45\"\") and if you have a bag that is an unusual shape but still within the total number of inches, you may find it being rejected. When choosing your airline tickets, it makes sense to be aware of the airline's luggage policies. Is Your Carry-On Bag Legal? Many luggage stores sell suitcases described as 'carry-on', but these suitcases are sometimes larger than the size most airlines will accept. The safe maximum size is 45\"\", in the form of a 22\"\" x 14\"\" x 9\"\" bag. Some airlines allow up to as much as 55\"\", but most do not. Not only do luggage stores and manufacturers seldom tell you if their bag is legally sized or not, but they also frequently mis-measure their bag. Their measurements generally are for the inside of the main compartment, and assume that any external pockets are of zero thickness, rather than stuffed full of things (which can easily add another inch or more) and ignore any external framing such as wheels and carry handle (which can also add another couple of inches). If you should be very unlucky and find yourself forced to try and squeeze your carry-on into an unforgiving luggage template by the gate, even one extra inch - if your bag is already at the maximum - will be enough to mean it doesn't fit and you have to check the bag."

"text": "Cat Health Problems Balding Spots Bald Spots on Cats Head Cat skin health problems and balding spots on cats are caused by parasites and a few other ailments. One of the most difficult issues to resolve on the feline skin surface is ringworm. This is a serious concern as it can be passed on by contact with humans and other animals. Sometimes cats are merely carriers and do not exhibit the symptoms themselves. Once this problem has developed it can be very hard to get rid of. Ringworm is caused by a fungus which grows on the surface of the skin and in the base of the hairs themselves. The ringworm ailment then releases toxins deep into the skin. This can cause annoying health problems like inflammation and itching and lead to balding spots . These bald spots will have scaly patches and might look like dry skin. They can happen anywhere but common places are on the head, ears, front paws and back."

"text": "The most common causes of bald spots in cats include: Parasites Ringworm infections Thyroid problems Allergies Stress Hereditary causes Cat hair loss and bald spots may be caused by the natural seasonal shedding, but may also be caused by other diseases. Bald spots may be self inflicted, as the cat can lick and scratch his skin excessively due to different conditions. The cat bald spot diagnosis can be done by performing a few tests, but a few additional symptoms may also help detecting a possible medical condition. External Parasites External parasites such as fleas or mites can lead to skin lesions and itchiness which can cause hair thinning and self inflicted bald spots. In addition, if the cat is allergic to the parasites, the bald spots may also be caused by the irritation. The parasites can be easily identified and treated and the hair should grow back as soon as the parasites are removed. Ringworm Infections The ringworm is not a parasitic infection but a fungal infection that will cause bald spots. The hair loss is in the shape of a ring and you may also notice flaky, crusty skin. The infection can be detected through a skin scraping test and can be treated with itraconazole or griseofulvin. Thyroid Gland Problems The thyroid gland produces the thyroid hormones; if these hormones are in excess or in deficit, the hair can fall out causing bald spots."

Some causes areconsidered natural, while others signal serious health problems. Some conditions are confined to the scalp. Others reflect disease throughout the body. Being plainly visible, the skin and itscomponents can provide early signs of disease elsewhere in the body. Oftentimes, conditions affecting the skin of the scalp will result in hair loss. The first clue to thespecific cause is the pattern of hair loss, whether it be complete baldness (alopecia totalis),patchy bald spots, thinning, or hair loss confined to certain areas. Also a factor is the condition of the hair and the scalp beneath it."

The reason for female pattern baldness is not well understood, but it may be related to: Aging Changes in the levels of androgens (male hormones). For example, after reaching menopause, many women find that the hair on their head is thinner, while the hair on their face is coarser.

Generally about 100 hairs are lost from your head every day. You may not notice this loss because the average scalp contains about 100,000 hairs. Some people may however experience excessive hair loss. The normal cycle of hair goes through a phase of growth and rest. Each individual hair survives for an average of three and a half years.

The animals of the north polar region can be seasonal visitors at the edge, permanent residents of the High Arctic or anywhere in-between.

"text": "Posted March 21, 2010 on Akorra.com Perms and relaxers have been a long-time favorite of African American women promising silky straight hair for difficult to manage locks, but this beauty regimen comes at a high price – hair breakage, scalp irritation, stunted hair growth, and even permanent hair loss. Discover the top 10 reasons to avoid perms and relaxers and why you should stay away from them at all costs. We all know there is an obvious difference between ‘black’ hair and other cultures. Some say kinky hair is a gift – you can wear it in so many different ways, but others call it a curse and have made the decision to permanently change the texture of their hair with the use of chemicals. I said permanently because once you add chemical relaxers or perms to your hair it is changed forever. There is no way to get back the natural wave pattern, even if you let the perm grow out. This is why the ‘older generations’ of African American women frown upon relaxing children’s hair. They say it will stunt their hair growth and ruin their hair forever. Well, the same it true for adult hair. Before we review the top 10 list, let’s talk about the difference between perms and relaxers."

"text": "Alopecia Areata Health Guide Encyclopedia More What Is It? Alopecia areata is a skin disorder that causes hair loss, usually in patches, most often on the scalp. Usually, the bald patches appear suddenly and affect only a limited area. The hair grows back within 12 months or less. For some people, however, the problem can last longer and be more severe, causing total baldness (alopecia totalis) or total loss of body hair (alopecia universalis). The cause of alopecia areata is probably an autoimmune reaction. This means the body's immune system incorrectly attacks the body's own cells. In the case of alopecia areata, the cells under attack are in the hair follicles (structures that grow hair), especially follicles within the scalp. Genetic (inherited) factors may play a role, too, particularly when the disorder strikes those under age 30. Almost 40% of people younger than age 30 with alopecia areata have at least one family member who has been diagnosed with the same disorder."

"text": "\"Hair loss Hair loss is a big worry to many people, both male and female. If you have a worrying amount of hair in the basin after shampooing, you may think you are on the way to baldness, but this is not usually the case. The 50–100 hairs that everyone loses each day often become tangled with the rest of the hair, but are washed out when we shampoo. So we see what seems like a lot of hair in the basin after shampooing, but in reality these hairs have been shed earlier. Of course, bald areas are an obvious sign of hair loss, but otherwise it can be difficult to tell whether your hair is getting thinner. To find out, try the tug test. Hold a small bunch of hair – about 15 or 20 hairs – between the thumb and index finger. Pull slowly and firmly. If more than six hairs come out there may be a problem. How hair grows The portion of the hair that we can see is called the shaft."

Many common plants are poisonous to pets, but bamboo is not one of them. Bamboo is non-toxic to dogs, cats or horses. If your pet encounters a poisonous plant, through ingestion or topical contact, you should be prepared with an emergency kit to treat potential serious effects. Bamboo Plant Bamboo is a woody, tree-like, fast-growing plant that some people plant outside or keep in pots in the home. Additionally, bamboo is found in flooring, furniture, baskets and toys, among other products. When grown outside, bamboo can spread quickly. It may appear invasive, like weeds. Your curious pet may chew or eat the bamboo plant if there's a lot of it in your yard; however, no bamboo species will harm your pet. Toxic Plants Other types of plants are poisonous to pets."

"text": "\"Ethnomusicology Review Volume 17 (2012)Print Email PDFSacred Abjection in Zen Shakuhachi Zachary Wallmark In a manuscript from the 1820s, Japanese shakuhachi player Hisamatsu Fuyo proclaims it is “despicable, if someone loves to produce a splendid tone” on the instrument (an end-blown bamboo flute) (Gutzwiller 1984:61). 1 This strongly worded condemnation expresses an often overlooked aesthetic—and ethical—orientation within the shakuhachi tradition, one still active among certain practitioners: to play beautifully is something loathsome, expressive not just of poor musical judgment, but of bad character. “ Splendid tone” is a mark, indeed, of the abject. 2As formulated by literary theorist Julia Kristeva (1982), abjection is a virulent species of exclusion and division, a strategy for demarcating the bounded self in relationship to the exterior, dangerous other. Kristeva puts it succinctly when she defines the abject as that which is “opposed to I ” (1). 3 In this terse formulation, the abject is not simply a neutral counterpart to the subject; it is radically, unforgivably separate. By definition, then, abjection relies on a strictly policed binary logic founded on the fundamental duality between “I” and “not-I.” This basic division spawns still other dualities tinged with the dynamics of abjection, including good and bad, clean and dirty, and beautiful and ugly. These conceptual distinctions, so key to the workings of culture, also play a major role in the creation, consumption, and evaluation of music. Because music is one of the most powerful means of symbolically ordering reality, this should come as no surprise: the binary essence of abjection maps onto music in diverse and fascinating ways, expressing itself in a range of culturally- and historically-specific manifestations. But if abjection is inherently dualistic, how does the category of the abject function in cultures and musical systems that reject binary logic?"

Making the right choice for the placement of your bed will ensure a restorative night's sleep. The average person spends many hours in the bedroom, sleeping only accounts for six to eight of those hours. Your bedroom should be a sanctuary from the world especially when you're asleep. This is the time when you're most vulnerable, so make sure your bed placement minimizes this vulnerability. Ideal Bed Placements Since sleep is vital to good health, the position of your bed is paramount to achieving optimum sleep. Chi energy enters and leave a room through windows and doors. You want to stay out of this pathway when you sleep. Another consideration is logical since you're vulnerable when you're asleep. You can minimize vulnerability with good bed placement."

"text": "Written by Diana K. Williams; Updated March 26, 2018Related Articles Instructions for Mixing Glyphosate 41Concentration of Roundup Mixing Directions for 2 4-D Weed Killer How to Mix Roundup to Kill Weeds Roundup comes in a variety of concentrates. They can be used to refill empty Roundup containers or to make up larger batches in a tank sprayer. When using a sprayer, choose one made of fiberglass or lined lined with plastic. Roundup should not be mixed in a galvanized or unlined steel tank; glyphosate is corrosive to those materials. Foaming is a common problem when making up a solution of Roundup; prevent it by measuring the herbicide into the sprayer and then slowly add water. When properly mixed, Roundup kills everything from tender seedlings to mature woody vines. Always follow all instructions and safety precautions on the label. Concentrate Plus Use Roundup Weed and Grass Killer Concentrate Plus around gravel driveways, flowerbeds and trees. For weeds that are tender, such as seedlings or annual grasses and weeds, mix 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) of this herbicide to 1 gallon of water. For tougher-to-kill plants such as weeds that have gone to seed, or to prepare a large area for a garden plot, mix 6 ounces (12 tablespoons) of herbicide to 1 gallon of water."

"text": "Activated Charcoal Body Cleanse and Detox Whether it be a colon cleanse, liver cleanse, kidney cleanse, for full body cleansing, or poison detox, activated charcoal will, to a greater or lesser degree, be beneficial and should be included in any natural cleansing or detox program. Very few health practitioners realize that as an agent to remove toxins from the body, charcoal is the best single detoxifier for whole-body cleansing. Of course, along with charcoal, one cannot forget water, both on the outside and the inside to help wash away poisons. Richard C. Kaufman, BS, MS, Ph D, (Bio-nutritional Chemistry from the University of Brussels) has written extensively in the field of anti-aging. He writes, “Detoxification is an on-going biological process that prevents toxins (from infectious agents, food, air, water, and substances that contact the skin) from destroying health. Chronic exposure to toxins produces cellular damage, diverse diseases, allergic like reactions, compromised immunity and premature aging.” As a general detox plan to counteract these daily exposures to toxins, he has found two programs that, using activated charcoal, have worked well for him and others. He recommends either. Use activated charcoal on two consecutive days each week. Take a total of 20 to 35 grams each day divided into two or three doses."

About a boy One of the best sources of information about Homo ergaster is a skeleton discovered in 1984 by Alan Walker and Kamoya Kimeu at Nariokotome in West Turkana, Kenya. The remains were found to be those of a teenage boy between the ages of 11 and 13 when he died. Around 1.5 million years ago, the boy's body sank into the marsh where he died and became fossilised. His teeth show signs of an abscess where his milk teeth fell out, indicating that he may have died from septicaemia (blood poisoning). Nariokotome Boy, as he has been dubbed, was already developing a thick, bony ridge across his eyes. A pair of buck teeth stuck out from a large, projecting mouth below a long, wide nose.

It's been used in hospital emergency rooms for years to treat alcohol poisoning and drug overdoses. It works by attaching to toxins in the stomach and absorbing them before the bloodstream can. The theory behind including activated charcoal in beauty products is similar: It'll act like a magnet to attract and absorb dirt and oil.

September 23, 2014 | Matt Shipman Anything that touches your food can be a source of contamination and foodborne illness – including cutting boards. For example, if you cut up a raw chicken, and then use the same cutting board to slice a tomato for your salad, you run the risk of cross-contamination – with bacteria from the chicken being transferred to the tomato. That, of course, would be bad. And vegetarians aren’t off the hook either. Fruits and vegetables can also carry pathogens (and transfer them to cutting boards). To reduce the risk of foodborne illness in your kitchen, here are some things you should know about cutting boards. Plastic Versus Wood For a long time, most (if not all) cutting boards were made of wood. But at some point people began using plastic cutting boards."

Let’s learn more about lucky plants you can grow. Plants That Bring Good Luck Whether you’re looking for lucky plants inside the home or out in the garden, there are a number of plants considered lucky that you can choose from. Lucky plants inside the house Lucky bamboo – this plant isn’t a bamboo at all but a type of Dracaena. Associated with Feng-Shui, each arrangement of this plant has a specific number of stalks, each with its own specific meaning: three means happiness, longevity and wealth; five stalks are for wealth; six will bring luck; seven good health, eight for growth and 10 for completion. If you’re “lucky” enough to have 21 stalks, then it’s believed to bring blessings of enduring health and great wealth. Hawaiian Ti plant – this foliage plant can be found in many vibrant colors. Early Polynesians believed it had mystical powers, so to grow one in your home is thought to bring good fortune to those residing there. And for anyone growing ti plants with two stalks can double their luck, while finding love too. Money tree – the Pachira money tree is another plant commonly used in Feng Shui and also believed to bring the grower good luck."

Some dogs chew on everything without discretion, and a curious kitten may think a new bouquet looks tasty, so pet parents need to choose foliage that is safe in the event Fido takes a nibble. Below is a list of some common, non-toxic, pet-safe indoor and outdoor plants and flowers (with a couple fruits and veggies as well), courtesy of the ASPCA. For a full list of both poisonous and non-poisonous plants, please visit the ASPCA’s website.

Those who love it describe its highly colored shiny leaves, its brilliant red berries, drought tolerance, winter interest, and multiple landscape uses. Those who hate it describe its toxicity and invasiveness. Nandina, grown in USDA hardiness zones 5-10, is a broadleaf evergreen in zones 8-10, and is evergreen in my zone 7 garden in Bedford. It is in the Berberidaceae family. Despite its common name, heavenly bamboo, it is not a bamboo, but an evergreen shrub growing 3-9 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide. There are many dwarf varieties that range from 1 1/2 to 3 foot tall. Its glossy leaves are brightly colored pink to red in early spring, turning green in summer, then red or purple in fall. The flowers are white, appearing in early summer in clusters. The fruit is bright red berries appearing in late fall and persisting throughout winter."

In antiquity, independently of Greek philosophers and other civilizations, ancient Chinese philosophers made significant advances in science, technology, mathematics, and astronomy. The first recorded observations of comets, solar eclipses, and supernovae were made in China. Traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and herbal medicine were also practiced. Among the earliest inventions were the abacus, the \"\"shadow clock,\"\" and the first flying machines such as kites and Kongming lanterns. The four Great Inventions of ancient China: the compass, gunpowder, papermaking, and printing, were among the most important technological advances, only known in Europe by the end of the Middle Ages. The Tang Dynasty (AD 618 - 906) in particular, was a time of great innovation. A good deal of exchange occurred between Western and Chinese discoveries up to the Qing Dynasty. The Jesuit China missions of the 16th and 17th centuries introduced Western science and astronomy, then undergoing its own revolution, to China, and knowledge of Chinese technology was brought to Europe. Much of the early Western work in the history of science in China was done by Joseph Needham."

These spiders are aggressive and very venomous and not intimidated by size (can attack people when threatened). The odd part about the Banana Spider is that studies indicate only 33% of the spider bites actually contain any significant amount of venom, but those that are injected with venom could be in serious danger!!!!!! If you are bitten by a Brazilian Wandering spider (Phoneutria spp. ), you should seek immediate emergency treatment as the venom could possibly be life threatening."

"text": "Amazing Animals Weird News The Most Poisonous Spider in the World SHARE ON: Colton — November 13, 2017The Most Poisonous Spider Believe it or not, there is no “most poisonous spider” because spiders are venomous, not poisonous. Zoologists and veterinary scientists distinguish “poisonous” from “venomous” depending on the delivery mechanism of their toxins. Since spiders willfully inject toxins, they are considered venomous. Though the toxicology is complicated, we present the title of most venomous spider in the world so you can justify your fear of all spiders by identifying the deadliest eight-legged creeper. Atrax robustus, also known as the Sydney funnel web spider, has venom so potent, it can kill in just 15 minutes. While females are normally the fiercer sex among spiders, it’s just the males who possess this wickedly deadly venom. Sydney Funnel-Web Spiders Male funnel web spiders only grow to be a couple inches across, but they build their namesake funnel webs up to two feet underground. By digging a hole, and then lining it with sticky silk, they can trap wandering prey and ambush with great effect, all while having a sturdy underground fortress layered with web to retreat into. Venom These spiders deliver venom with their large fangs, capable of piercing fingernails and shoe-leather. A bite first causes extreme pain at the site of injection, and within minutes the neurotoxic effects begin to appear."

"text": "What Attracts Spiders to Your House Posted on February 5th, 2014by Panther Pest Control Team4 0 0 0The things that attract spiders are too many. We are frequently being asked if spiders are attracted to light or dark but the list of things that may cause spider infestation is very long. Image by: Holley And Chris Melton So, what is so tempting that attracts spiders namely to your house? Spiders are like any other creature, they need food and shelter. Many species have adapted to the environment indoors. One thing that draws spiders in your home is a plentiful supply of food. The eight-legged predators feast upon insects, either by catching them in nets, hunting or ambushing them. That being said, spiders are excellent pest controllers themselves and often used in biological pest control when it comes to crops and gardens. So an effective way to keep spiders at bay is to cut their food supply. In other words, you better lay waste upon any insects that dare to roam your household."

"text": "\"Related Articles Plants for a Bird Aviary How to Keep Birds off Window Boxes Edible Vines for Birds How to Get Rid of Pesty Birds in the Garden Budgies are popular pet birds of the parakeet family. These blue and white or blue, yellow and green birds are officially known as budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus). They originate in Australia and live about six years in captivity. They need leafy greens in their diet, so they’re likely to nibble on any houseplants they can reach. Choosing plants that are safe for parakeets to eat will help provide the nutrients budgies need and keep them from harm. Regular Diet Only 25 percent of a budgie's diet should consist of seeds, with fresh foods making up the rest. Pelleted diets formulated for parakeets are nutritionally complete but still should make up only 75 percent of a budgie’s food intake, supplemented by 25 percent fresh foods. Some foods that humans eat, including chocolate and avocados, are toxic to budgies. Along with his parakeet foot, feed your budgie fresh fruit and vegetables, pasta, bread, cooked rice, legumes, alfalfa sprouts and leafy greens. Safe Houseplants Nibbling on houseplants can provide nutrients for budgies, so all the plants in the home should be nontoxic to birds."

A: Quick Answer Spiders can thrive and live in almost any place: on the edges of the ocean, on plants, under rocks, in trees, in caves and even over the water, according to Australian Museum. The only places that spiders cannot inhabit are the oceans, the highest mountains and the polar regions. Spiders are seen on almost every continent.

Credit: Christopher CC-BY 2.0Full Answer Spider species that are often seen everywhere use a behavior called ballooning. Some spiders, especially baby spiders, are so light that they can put out a very thin line of silk thread that can float away in the wind, carrying them up and away, and allowing them to spread across the globe. Spiders that dwell in houses can be stuck on furniture and other things, and often get moved around when the people living there move to a different place."

"text": "The Most Venomous Animals in the World12 April 3, 2015It seems that our fears of animals are based around two main themes; there are those with the big pointy teeth that are just looking for an excuse to eat us alive and there are those that, whilst seemingly innocuous, pack a secret weapon so deadly that half the world seem to have a phobia about them. These are the venomous animals that can deliver lethal toxins through their bites and stings. Unlike many of the factors involved in ranking an animals danger to man, the strength of venom can and has been measured. This is recorded as the LD 50 (median lethal dose) which basically tells us how much is required to kill an average human (or mouse). The most powerful of these natural toxins are nearly 1,000 times more deadly than poisons such as arsenic and cyanide. Venomous vs Poisonous Now there seems to be a good deal of confusion about whether an animal is venomous or poisonous. Venomous creatures are often described as poisonous and vice versa. Both types have toxins, and both types can be considered dangerous, where they differ is in how they deliver this. Poisons require the victim to ingest/eat them, or can be absorbed through the skin when touched. However, a venom is injected into the victim by means of a bite or a sting."

Unpleasant for the person that sometimes he comes in the house. In South America, often find these spiders in clothing or in boxes with clothes and food. Meets Spider just in America, and then mostly in tropical and subtropical regions. To Brazilian wandering spiders include two types - is jumping spiders that stalk their prey abrupt jumps and shifty spiders. The latter are very fast runners, but are nocturnal and during the day - sitting under rocks or hiding in some other place, including in people's homes.

The Guinness Book of Records states that the Brazilian Wandering Spider (Phoneutria nigriventer), is the most venomous spider in the world. The Sydney Funnel Web Spider (Atrax robustus) would be second on the list. Third would be the spiders in the Latrodectus genus. These are the Widow spiders, eg. Black Widow, Brown Widow, Redback Spider from Australia and other Widow spiders from around the world.

"text": "\"in: Spiders Brazilian wandering spider (Phoneutria)Edit Comments Share Phoneutria, commonly known as Brazilian wandering spiders, armed spiders (\"\"armadeiras\"\", as they are known in Portuguese ), or banana spiders (not to be confused with the relatively harmless Nephila ), are a genus of defensive and venomous spiders of potential medical significance to humans. They are mainly found in tropical South America, with one species in Central America. These spiders are members of the Ctenidae family of wandering spiders. The Brazilian wandering spiders appear in Guinness World Records from 2010 as the world's most venomous spider. However, several venomous species of arachnid are far more likely to attack a human, and the Guinness book of World Records states that although the Brazilian wandering spider is the most toxic, more deaths actually occur from black widow and brown recluse spider bites, due to the rarity of the Wandering spider biting anyone. Contents [ show]Description Edit The genus Phoneutria (Greek for \"\"Murderess\"\") contains eight scientifically described species; the most notorious being P. fera and P. nigriventer. The spiders in the genus can grow to have a leg span of 13 to 15 cm (5.1 to 5.9 in). Their body length ranges from 17 to 48 mm (0.67 to 1.9 in). The genus is distinguished from other related genera such as Ctenus by the presence of dense prolateral scopulae (=a dense brush of fine hairs) on the pedipalp tibiae and tarsi in both sexes Phoneutria are easily confused with several other non-medically significant ctenids, especially Cupiennius, in which the recently described C. chiapanensis also has bright red hairs on the chelicerae. Additionally, some Phoneutria species lack red hairs on the chelicerae, making it an unreliable identification feature."

"text": "The Gentle Desert Tarantula By: Jonathan Du Hamel February 23, 2014The Desert Tarantula, Aphonpelma chalcodes, is the most common tarantula seen in the Tucson area and is one of 30 species found in Arizona. They are most active during the monsoon and into early fall. If you notice holes in your yard about the size of a quarter, it is probably a tarantula hole. If it has silk in or over the hole, it is active. You can go out at night with a flashlight and observe the females near their holes. Males are more likely to be seen trekking to find females. Tarantulas are primitive spiders that evolved almost 350 million years ago and have changed little since. The female Desert Tarantula is usually tan or brownish, while the male is darker, usually with black or dark legs and a reddish abdomen. Females have a large abdomen, bigger than the cephalothorax (upper body), while the males have a small abdomen. The hairs help the spider sense vibrations, which could indicate a predator or prey."

Number 5: Red-back spider (Latrodectus hasselti)The redback spider ( Latrodectus hasseltii ) is a dangerous spider endemic to Australia. It is a close cousin of pretty known black widow, which is found throughout the world. The female is easily recognisable by her black body with a prominent red stripe on the back of her abdomen. Females have a body length of about a centimetre, while the male is smaller, being only 3 to 4 mm long. The redback spider is one of few arachnids which usually display sexual cannibalism while mating. Redbacks are considered one of the most dangerous species of spiders in Australia. Its neurotoxic venom is toxic to humans, with bites causing severe pain, often for over 24 hours. An antivenom is commercially available, and since its introduction in 1956, no deaths due to redback bites have been reported.+Redback spider bites rarely cause significant morbidity, and deaths are even more rare. Throughout Australian history, only 14 deaths from redbacks have been recorded."

"text": "\"Daddy Longlegs Is the daddy longlegs the world's most poisonous animal?28Claim: The daddy longlegs is the “world’s most poisonous animal. ”Status: False. Example: [Collected on the Internet, 2000]The most poisonous animal, believe it or not, is the daddy long legs, however, it’s mouth is so small, it cannot bite us. Origins: This claim has a few ambiguities to it. First of all, “poisonous” and “venomous” are two distinctly different qualities: poisonous animals give off toxins which are absorbed when they are touched or eaten by attackers; venomous animals transmit toxins by injecting them into their victims. Secondly, more than one type of critter is referred to as a “daddy longlegs.” The crane fly, a winged insect which looks like a large mosquito, is called a daddy longlegs in some parts of the world (such as England), but it is not venomous (nor is it a type of spider). The pholcus phalangioides, also referred to as the long-legged cellar spider, is an example of a “daddy longlegs” spider, probably the one referred to here as being the world’s “most poisonous animal”: In terms of being poisonous (i.e., posing a danger to people who might eat or handle it), a daddy longlegs spider can’t compare to the South American poison dart frog. And according to the Spiders and other Arachnids site at the University of California, Riverside, there’s no evidence that daddy longlegs spider venom poses any danger to humans: There is no reference to any pholcid spider biting a human and causing any detrimental reaction. If these spiders were indeed deadly poisonous but couldn’t bite humans, then the only way we would know that they are poisonous is by milking them and injecting the venom into humans."

The average annual temperature is above 20� C ; there is never a frost. Rainfall varies widely from a low of about 250cm of rain per year to about 450 cm/year . That means a range from about 8 to 14 feet of rain per year. World Distribution: As you can see from the map to the right, the tropical rainforests are, indeed, located in the tropics, a band around the equator from 23.5� N (the Tropic of Cancer) to 23.5� S (the Tropic of Capricorn) (red lines on map, right). Because the Earth tilts 23.5 degrees on its axis as it travels around the sun, at some point in the year (the solstices, June 22nd in the north, December 22nd in the south) the sun will be directly overhead on one of these lines. At the equinoxes the sun is directly over the equator. Within this band, solar radiation is most intense, and thus the surface of the planet warms the most. The warmth leads to a lot of evaporation, and as warm, moist air rises, it cools, the water condenses, and the water falls back to the earth as rain . Thus, the warmest areas of the planet also tend to be the wettest , and this sets the stage for the tropical rain forest."

"text": "\"Share this: Preteens | Seniors | Elementary | Summer | Spring | Autumn | Insects and spiders Brown Recluse Spider Bites The Bottom Line Brown recluse spiders are rarely seen or identified. A brown recluse spider bite often is not felt when it happens. The complex venom causes injury and death (necrosis) of the surrounding tissues. In severe cases, the venom can damage deeper tissues. Serious illness and death are rare. There is no antidote; treatment includes treating the wound and preventing infection. The Full Story Although reports of bites from a brown spider that caused severe tissue damage and even necrosis (tissue death) can be found as early as 1872 in the U. S., it was not until 1957 that the brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa, was identified as the likely culprit. Today, the brown recluse spider is one of the most medically important spiders. Of the many thousands of spiders we come across, it is one of the few that not only can bite humans, but whose venom can cause serious wounds and poisoning. The name \"\" reclusa\"\" describes the spider’s behavior – it avoids humans and human activity, lives in dark and quiet places, such as basements and woodpiles, is active at night, hides its web and is rarely seen."

"text": "Bananas and Pesticidesevergowe10Subscribe 1Add to Share More45,368 views398Published on May 3, 2009The pesticide, DBCP, is sprayed on bananas in Central and South America. The United States banned the use of DBCP due to the devestating effects it has on the human body. However, the United States still imports bananas from farms in Central and South America that use DBCP. This pesticide can cause any number of health problems, including but not limited to, infertility, birth defects, cancer, skin problems, breathing problems, dizziness, confusion, and even death. The people who work on the banana farms are often unable to work due to the pesticide poisoning and in turn are unable to provide for their families. Many have moved into the city and have created tent cities outside of government buildings in order to protest the use of DBCP and other harmful pesticides on banana farms. They also plead with their governments to provide workers who have been affected by the pesticide with good medical care and financial compensation. This commerical advocates Americans being informed about DBCP and the affects it has on human life. It calls for them to act upon that knowledge through talking with the United States Government about raising pesticide restrictions on banana imports (this would cause foreign countries to reduce the amount of pesticides sprayed on bananas in order to sell them to the United States) and by buying organic bananas. Both of these actions would reduce the demand for pesticide sprayed bananas and would support organic farms."

However, measurements of the fitness costs of insecticide resistance have used diverse methods to control for genetic background and rarely assess the effects of environmental variation. Here, we explored how genetic background interacts with resource quality to affect the expression of the fitness costs associated with resistance. We used a serially backcrossed line of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, resistant to the biopesticide Bacillus thuringiensis, to estimate the costs of resistance for insects feeding on two Brassica species. We found that fitness costs increased on the better-defended Brassica oleracea cultivars. These data were included in two meta-analyses of fitness cost experiments that used standardized protocols (and a common resistant insect stock) but which varied in the methodology used to control for the effects of genetic background. The meta-analysis confirmed that fitness costs were higher on the low-quality host ( B. oleracea ); and experimental methodology did not influence estimates of fitness costs on that plant species. In contrast, fitness costs were heterogeneous in the Brassica pekinensis studies: fitness costs in genetically homogenized lines were significantly higher than in studies using revertant insects. We hypothesize that fitness modifiers can moderate fitness costs on high-quality plants but may not affect fitness when resource quality is low. Introduction Selection for resistance to pesticides, at least initially, produces a genetic correlation that results in a reduction in fitness in the absence of the pesticide ( Crow, 1957; Gould, 1998; Foster et al.,"

S. troops in Vietnam. Still later, it was at the center of controversies over dioxin, defective breast implants made by its Dow Corning joint venture, and its refusal, after acquiring Union Carbide in 2001, to assume any responsibility for the thousands of people killed or disabled by a massive toxic leak at a pesticide plant run by that company in India. In late 2015 Dow and its long-time competitor Du Pont announced plans to merge and then split into three companies. The merger took effect in 2018. Human Rights During the 1960s and early 1970s, Dow Chemical was a prime target of the antiwar movement because of its role in the production of napalm and Agent Orange used by U. S. troops in Vietnam. Napalm, a thickening agent for jellied gasoline used in flamethrowers and incendiary devices, became a symbol of U. S. destructive power in the war, especially against civilians. A photograph of a nine-year-old girl whose clothes had been burned off by a napalm bomb became one of the most disturbing images from the war. Agent Orange was a defoliant used to deprive guerillas of cover and to pressure peasants to relocate to areas under U. S. military control. Nearly 20 million gallons of the substance were sprayed on the country. Millions of Vietnamese suffered horrible health effects from exposure both during the war and for many year afterward, as the dioxin from Agent Orange lingered in the environment."

And there’s lots of evidence for the health benefits of fruit. Many studies show that two to five daily servings from the healthiest fruit list below can help you significantly reduce your risk of these deadly diseases: Stroke,Diabetes,Heart disease,And certain cancers. But at least 54% of the population get NO daily fresh or frozen fruit at all, much less two or more of the healthiest fruits shown on this fruit list. How to Get the Most Fruit Benefits from the List of Fruits The alphabetical list of fruits below has fruit nutritional info listed in order. For example, if a fruit on the fruits list has a high level of carotenoids and a moderate level of vitamin C, since the carotenoid nutritional value is higher than the C, the carotenoids will be listed before the vitamin C. Any fruit on the list of fruits where there are particular concerns, you’ll find them in parenthesis. So if a fruit has a high glycemic index rating, which could cause high blood sugar levels, you’ll see (glycemic). And if preservatives, like sulfites, are commonly used on a specific conventionally grown fruit or if that fruit is usually highly sprayed or waxed, you’ll see (preservatives), (pesticides) or (wax coating)."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Preparing to spray a hazardous pesticide Drainage of fertilizers and pesticides into a stream The impact of pesticides consists of the effects of pesticides on non-target species. Pesticides are chemical preparations used to kill fungal or animal pests. Over 98% of sprayed insecticides and 95% of herbicides reach a destination other than their target species, because they are sprayed or spread across entire agricultural fields. [ 1] Runoff can carry pesticides into aquatic environments while wind can carry them to other fields, grazing areas, human settlements and undeveloped areas, potentially affecting other species. Other problems emerge from poor production, transport and storage practices. [ 2] Over time, repeated application increases pest resistance, while its effects on other species can facilitate the pest's resurgence. [ 3]Each pesticide or pesticide class comes with a specific set of environmental concerns. Such undesirable effects have led many pesticides to be banned, while regulations have limited and/or reduced the use of others. Over time, pesticides have generally become less persistent and more species-specific, reducing their environmental footprint. In addition the amounts of pesticides applied per hectare have declined, in some cases by 99%."

Print Background Organophosphates (OPs) are chemical substances originally produced by the reaction of alcohols and phosphoric acid. In the 1930s, organophosphates were used as insecticides, but the German military developed these substances as neurotoxins in World War II. They function as cholinesterase inhibitors, thereby affecting neuromuscular transmission. Organophosphate insecticides, such as diazinon, chlorpyrifos, disulfoton, azinphos-methyl, and fonofos, have been used widely in agriculture and in household applications as pesticides. Over 25,000 brands of pesticides are available in the United States, and their use is monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Diazinon was sold in the United States for 48 years with 14.7 million pounds sold annually. It was the most widely used ingredient in lawn and garden sprays in the United States. Diazinon was found under the brand names Real Kill, Ortho, and Spectracide. In the past decade, the EPA reached an agreement with the pesticide industry to end the production of diazinon by March 2001 for indoor use and June 2003 for lawn and garden use. Chlorpyrifos (Dursban) was involved in a negotiated phaseout in June 2000."

The are also many health risks carried by rodents. For instance brown rats carry 13 different kinds of parasites and illnesses including salmonella. Bedbugs : Because bedbugs are small and as flat as a piece of paper, they can fit inside any crack or crevice, which makes them extremely hard to eliminate. Bed bus feed mostly on blood.

July 3, 2013 | written by Susan Thanavaro | Get Cooking, Get Mindful SHAREEvery year the Environmental Working Group outlines its list of the “dirty dozen.” No, this isn’t a throwback to the 1960’s classic—you know what we’re talking about. This dirty dozen is an annual list of the 12 fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide residues. The idea is, if you’re not buying organic produce already, you should at least look for the USDA Organic seal on the top 12 offenders. The list varies from year to year but usually thin-skinned produce like peaches, apples and celery make an appearance. Bananas have never been included (that we know of) thanks in part to their thick, peelable skins which, in theory, minimize pesticide exposure. But is this really true? We did our own research and discovered three compelling reasons why organic bananas are worth it. Social impact nightmare."

Instead of reaching for expensive chemical pesticides, consider using natural products that are not only a safer option for your pets but are also easy on your budget. Plus, you might not even need to make a special trip to the store because many of these products are already in your home. Below you’ll find our top 10 ways to prevent pests in your home and yard while, at the same time, keeping your pets safe:1. Prevent ants with vinegar. Worried about ants invading your pet’s bowl? A safe way to discourage ants is to spray the area surrounding the bowl with a 50/50 mixture of water and white distilled vinegar.2. Prevent fleas naturally—and cheaply. Sure you can find numerous flea shampoos on the market but an excellent way to kill fleas is just to use your dog’s regular shampoo. When you soap up your dog, leave the shampoo on a minute or two extra if possible to help smother the fleas on his coat."

"text": "Toxicology and Iatrogenic Disorders Save Print Share Actions Organophosphate Poisoning Authored by Dr Roger Henderson, 23 Jun 2015This article is for Medical Professionals In this article Epidemiology Causes for suspicion Presentation Differential diagnosis Investigations Management Expert advice Prognosis The organophosphate (OP) pesticides inhibit acetylcholinesterase. Hence, acetylcholine accumulates at nerve synapses and neuromuscular junctions, stimulating muscarinic and nicotinic receptors and the central nervous system. They are used as pesticides but can also be used as 'nerve gas'. This is prohibited under the Geneva Convention but could be used by terrorists or rogue regimes. There is some suggestion that the use of OP pesticides may have caused some neurotoxicity and be responsible for 'Gulf War syndrome'. Certainly, insecticides were freely used, as were many other chemicals. The syndrome is inconsistent in those affected but is neither simply a post-traumatic stress disorder nor the result of acute OP poisoning and is likely to represent low-level chronic toxicity. [ 1, 2, 3, 4] This is supported by a case control study which reported that chronic exposure to OP pesticides can lead both to depressive and anxiety disorders and also to cognitive defects (unrelated to psychiatric disorders). [ 4] This is a significant problem which may also affect children and further research in this field is necessary. [ 5]Epidemiology There are no accurate figures kept about the incidence of OP poisoning."

San Francisco, Calif. – The Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) in a legal motion today asked a U. S. District Court to protect the threatened California red-legged frog (Rana aurora draytonii) from 66 of the most toxic and persistent pesticides authorized for use in California, by creating pesticide-free buffer zones around the frog’s core habitat and by requiring consumer hazard warnings so that all Californians may learn how to protect frogs. [ Trifluralin was one of the 66 pesticides.] In response to a lawsuit filed by CBD against the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in April of 2002, the District Court found in September of 2005 that the EPA violated the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by registering pesticides for use without considering how they might impact the continued existence of the red-legged frog. The motion for “injunctive relief” delivered today asks the court to protect the frog from pesticides in or adjacent to aquatic frog habitat designated as core recovery areas, until the EPA completes a formal consultation with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) on the impacts of the pesticides on red-legged frogs, as required under the ESA... CBD is asking the Court to impose a three-year schedule for the EPA to determine whether the 66 pesticides may affect the red-legged frog and to complete formal consultations with USFWS to ensure the pesticides are not jeopardizing the frog or contributing to its decline. To minimize harm to frogs during the consultation process, the motion asks for an injunction on use of the pesticides around aquatic features and upland habitats within the frog’s core recovery areas, as designated by USFWS in the agency’s Recovery Plan for the California Red-legged Frog."

We know that they are high in sugar- and that sugar is anything but good for us- but we also hear that they are full of important nutrients. So what’s the verdict on banana nutrition being healthy or not? This is actually one of the questions I get asked most often, so allow me to explain more about the pros and cons of eating bananas. Bananas are indeed a great source of essential vitamins and minerals, including potassium, magnesium, fiber, and more. They are almost an ideal food for athletes and those who regularly exercise because of their quick-acting carbohydrate’s effect on our energy levels. They can provide a quick source of energy before a workout and also vital post-workout nutrients that are needed to repair muscle and balance water retention. Additionally, bananas contain filling fiber too. All of these benefits within one 100-calorie piece of fruit sounds like a good deal, but bananas can also be tricky for certain people and may not be the best fruit choice for everyone."

A food allergy is an allergic reaction to certain food such as milk, shellfish, nuts, chocolate, or soy, or food additives, such as preservatives and colorings. An allergic reaction can range anywhere from mild to severe and include skin rash, headache, hives, stuffy or runny nose, gastrointestinal upset, or shortness of breath. Certain people develop life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis in which there is a difficult breathing, rapid swelling of the throat or tongue, and a sudden drop in blood pressure, also the person may become unconscious. To deal effectively with food allergies a person must eliminate the offending food, but may find natural remedies helpful in reducing the severity of symptoms when the food is accidentally consumed. Generally, skin allergies fall into three categories: eczema, urticaria and contact dermatitis. Triggers and irritants include house dust, animal fur, pollen, synthetic fabrics such as elastic and latex; fragrance and household cleaners. Emotional states such as anxiety and stress can also be the cause. Contact dermatitis can affect anyone where the skin reacts to particular substance. Allergy Symptoms Itching and red or pink rash."

When I had control of the checking accounts, all that was needed was to sign the check and add executor behind my signature, Most funerals are done with payment due in so many days, then you pay interest if not paid in full.

"text": "What is 'Payable On Death - POD'Payable on death (POD) is an arrangement between a bank or credit union and a client that designates beneficiaries to receive all the client's assets. The immediate transfer of assets is triggered by the death of the client. Payable on death is also referred to as a totten trust. Next Up Beneficial Interest Absolute Beneficiary Alternate Beneficiary See-Through Trust BREAKING DOWN 'Payable On Death - POD'An individual with an account or certificate of deposit at a bank can designate a beneficiary who will inherit any money in the account after his or her death. A bank account with a named beneficiary is called a payable on death (POD) account. People who opt for POD accounts do so to keep their money out of probate court in the event that they pass away. It is easy to convert an account to a payable on death account. Designating a beneficiary is a cost-free service that allows for the transfer of all checking and savings accounts, security deposits, savings bonds and other deposit certificates by filling out the proper forms at your bank or credit union. The account holder needs only notify the bank of who he wants his beneficiary to be. The bank, on its end, will give the owner of the account a beneficiary designation form called a totten trust to fill out."

"text": "Bank Acounts to Avoid Probate: POD vs. ITF accounts Jon Alper December 29, 2006 Florida Exemptions I received an interesting question about the difference for asset protection purposes between bank accounts titled “ITF”, or in trust for, and bank accounts titled “POD”, pay on death. An example of each account title would be as follows: “John ITF Mary” and John POD Mary. Both accounts are set up by John and funded with John’s money. In both cases, when John dies all the money in the accounts passes to Mary outside of any probate of John’s estate. The writer reported that one Florida bank permits only ITF accounts whereas a different Florida bank uses only POD accounts. Does the choice of these two titles make any difference in terms of protecting the money from John’s creditors during his lifetime. Here’s my understanding, although I know of no cases comparing the two types of accounts.. ITF , “in trust for” implies the existence of a trust relationship so that the beneficiary of the trust (Mary) would have equitable ownership in the account funds from the day John funds the account. . Of John opened a POD account Mary would have no rights or interest in the account during John’s life, and Mary would first acquire an interest upon John’s death. From an asset protection standpoint, John is a trustee over Mary’s money during his life in the case of an ITF account, and John has no equitable ownership in the money which would be vulnerable to his creditors. Creation of the ITF account is an immediate gift in trust to Mary."

However, if a bank account holder/owner has died, then the monies therein become part of the estate of that deceased person which includes all other money and everything else that would be of value including motor vehicles, real estate and shares. There may be more than one beneficiary ( normally the children ) named in the will. In most countries, if a deceased person has not left a will (which is called “intestate”) then the same distribution law to the beneficiaries applies. Any dispute between the beneficiaries could be settled by consultation with lawyers (get a quote), and possibly a court. Time limits apply to disputations.

Lower fees at our Center in comparison with various surrogacy agencies of the world do not mean low quality of service. We do not have artificially increased expenses. In case of international couples In Vitro Fertilization is mainly carried out in Georgia or Ukraine, at one of our partner clinics. When the couple chooses the Ukrainian clinic we send the donor and the surrogate mother selected by the couple to Ukraine (for the period of maximum 10 days each of them). In case of such choice it is possible that the couple does not arrive to Georgia and arrive only to Ukraine to the clinic specified by us where they will meet our representative who will make contract with the couple. Prior to the visit to Ukraine the following will be required: the couple should select the acceptable candidates of a donor and surrogate mother by photos, agree on the terms and conditions of the agreement to be made between the couple and our agency in advance and the couple should transfer the compensation of business trip of our center’s employee to Ukraine (500 Euros) into our Center’s bank account.

The novel tells the story of the French Doctor Manette, his 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris and his release to life in London with his daughter Lucie, whom he had never met; Lucie's marriage and the collision between her beloved husband and the people who caused her father's imprisonment; and Monsieur and Madame Defarge, sellers of wine in a poor suburb of Paris.

Although a 1035 transfer is tax-free, it might be accompanied by a surrender charge if surrender fees have yet to lapse.401 (k) plan: A plan offered by an employer that lets employees make contributions to a retirement savings plan on a pre-tax basis, sometimes fully or partially matching these contributions.403 (b) plan: Similar to the 401 (k) plan, but generally offered by nonprofit organizations instead of for-profit businesses. Allows contributions from employees to grow on a tax-deferred basis until they are withdrawn. At withdrawal, the funds are subject to tax like ordinary income.457 Plan: Named in reference to the portion of the Internal Revenue Code that defines its basic rules, the 457 is a tax-exempt deferred compensation program provided to employees in state and federal governments and agencies. While similar to the 401 (k) plan, the 457 plan never receives matching contributions from the employer, nor does the IRS consider it to be a qualified retirement plan. Accrued Monthly Benefit (AMB): This is the monthly amount earned toward an employee's pension via that individual's service to the employing company. Annuitant: The individual who receives payments from an annuity plan under the terms of that plan. Annuity: Refers to the payments made on a periodic basis to an individual under an annuity plan. The payments are generally provided until the individual dies."

The probate court process for dividing assets after death can be quite time-consuming, difficult and expensive. Assets that are encumbered with loans might be financially at-risk when someone dies if the money is not available to continue making payments. This is why some people add the POD designation to their bank accounts. “Payable-On-Death Beneficiary after Your Death”Debt levels are at all-time highs with outstanding balances accruing interest. Add automobiles and mortgages to the list. It can be a challenge to stay current on accounts. People know how much to pay on each debt. But what happens when they die?"

If you have child support debt, or if you owe money to the government for taxes or a student loan, different rules apply. What is a frozen bank account? A frozen bank account is a bank account that you cannot access because a creditor has placed a restraint on it. When your bank account is frozen, you can put money into it, but you can’t take money out. Why is my bank account frozen? A frozen bank account is a sure sign that a creditor or debt collector has obtained a court judgment against you (or your joint account holder, if you have a joint bank account). A creditor or debt collector cannot freeze your bank account unless it has a judgment. Judgment creditors freeze people’s bank accounts as a way of pressuring people to make payments. Why does my frozen bank account have a very large negative balance?"

"text": "DEFINITION of 'Blocked Account'The term blocked account has a few different meanings and definitions, but fewer still, when we are considering only trade and finance. Next Up Block (Bitcoin Block)Blocked Period Block Height Block Order BREAKING DOWN 'Blocked Account'Very broadly, a blocked account refers to an account that does not allow for indiscriminate withdrawal, but instead has certain restrictions or limitations on when, how much, and by who, capital can be withdrawn. Different Types of Blocked Accounts A blocked account can be an account that is subject to foreign exchange controls in a country that restricts the amount of its currency that can be transferred to other countries or exchanged into other currencies . In Germany, blocked accounts work something like this, for foreign students not from EU member states. As a foreign student, you must provide proof that you have the financial means to pay for your course of studies, and for supporting yourself during your studies. And, to prove adequate means often requires a blocked account. This account is not freely accessible to the account holder. Students have to pay a minimum of 720 euros for each month they plan to be in Germany, and may not withdraw funds until they arrive in the country, nor can they withdraw more than 720 euros per month, unless they have paid more than the minimum amount. A blocked account can sometimes refer to a Deposit Account Control Agreement (DACA), which is an agreement between a borrower (or debtor), secured lender, and a bank maintaining a deposit account. Control under the DACA is established when the bank agrees to comply with directives from the secured lender, without needing the express consent of the borrower."

Today, Standard Life, a pensions and savings giant woven into the fabric of Edinburgh, became the first major company to warn it may move part of its multi-billion pound operations to England if there is a yes vote. Scotland is a big provider of financial services, managing £750 billion of pensions and investments. Its banks serve more than 40 million account-holders. But nine out of 10 customers of institutions based north of the border, live south of it. Analysts agree that an independent Scotland, like many small economies, could face higher interest rates, higher taxes, higher costs and greater financial instability than the rest of the UK. These could cut returns, push up charges and increase volatility. Such risks would not be welcomed by savers. Many are expected to protect their funds by moving money south, where they will continue to operate in sterling, have interest set by the Bank of England and enjoy the protections and compensation schemes run by UK financial regulators and ombudsmen, underwritten by the Westminster government."

"text": "Investing for Beginners Personal Finance How to Negotiate a Credit Card Debt Settlement You May Be Able to Pay Only 25¢ on the $1.00 of Your Credit Card Debt Share Flip Pin Email•••By Joshua Kennon Updated July 25, 2017If you've found yourself reading this, the odds are good you want to know how to negotiate a credit card debt settlement. Realize that you are not alone in this endeavor. In fact, it's a common question that is frequently asked. My goal is to give you some basic information about the process, some of the potential pitfalls, and some of the surprising consequences of credit card debt negotiation you may not even realize occur. Before You Begin Credit Card Debt Negotiation First, before we continue, let me congratulate you on the decision to solve a problem that is no doubt causing you significant personal stress. It's no secret that before you can invest and build wealth for yourself and your family, you must destroy your credit card debt as it frequently is one of, if not, the most expensive debts you can incur; every penny of interest expense flowing out the door is a penny you can't use to grow your personal portfolio. Second, let me assure you that it is possible to live without credit card debt. In fact, credit card debt simply isn't a problem for most American families; a secret that nobody but economists seem to want to discuss. To be more specific, roughly 1 out of 2 American families either have no credit card debt or use a credit card for convenience and points, paying off the balance in full every single month. You can join their ranks."

"text": "\"While a collection agency can't take your income tax refund, there are instances when the government can. If you owe federal or state taxes from previous tax years you'll have to fork over your refund to cover those taxes. In addition, if you owe child support or student loans, the government can take your refund as well. Garnishment The term garnishment is usually reserved for earned income such as pay you receive from an employer. After winning a lawsuit in court and receiving a default judgment, a collection agency can garnish part of your paycheck. However, the debt collector can only garnish 25 percent of your disposable income or the amount by which your disposable income for the pay period exceeds 30 times the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, whichever is less. Exceptions If you owe federal taxes from a previous year, the IRS is not going to issue you a refund. The same is true if you owe state taxes. The Department of Treasury's Financial Management Service, which issues tax refunds, is authorized by Congress to conduct the Treasury Offset Program. This means that if you owe \"\"past-due child support, federal agency non-tax debts, state income tax obligations and certain unemployment debts owed to a state,\"\" the government can forward your refund to agency to whom you owe the debt."

This article forms part of the work on the linguistic sound/meaning correspondences which exist between the Bantu languages and the Ancient Egyptian language. The methodology I have used is to assess only those words which give an exact or near consonantal match between words. By attempting the findings in this way I hope that a clearer understanding will emerge and participants will be in a position to partake with the investigation in simple meaningful terms thus avoiding vague and unnecessary notions about the complexities of the Ancient Egyptian language. I have decided to approach the subject in this investigation by examining the pronunciations of three Ancient Egyptian words which give clear convincing correspondences in sound and meaning. Further words will be addressed in Part 2 of the Rosetta Stones. I have also included a brief account of the Bantu and Kiswahili-Bantu languages and questioned whether the roots of some words are of Bantu or Semitic origin. KOMAKM bring to an end The four examples labelled A, B, C, an D given below show how it is possible to actually speak the Ancient Egyptian words by inserting the correct Bantu vowels between the consonants to give the correct pronunciation of the word. Thus as a simple example, the Ancient Egyptian word for ‘bring to an end’ given by the consonants kmmust be pronounced phonetically as ‘ koma’ in accordance with the Kiswahili-Bantu language and not as kem as given in Egyptology books. The missing Bantu vowels here are o and a not e. By using the vowel e, the sounding of the Ancient Egyptian word gives a false impression of what the word should be and reinforces the notion that the word could be of Semitic origin thus obscuring the true pronunciation of the word."

The Black Nubians made pacts with the Arabs to be Pharoahs to avoid total annhilation. For about a hundred years, there were Black Nubian Egyptian Dynasties. The Arabs gave Egypt (Arabic-since 5,000 B. C.) its name. The different skin colors of the Egyptians on walls demonstrates the differences in the two ethinicities. King TUT has many facial features of an ethnic mix (half Arab Semitic White/half Nubian Black),often represented anywhere from a golden brown color to a Black color, like Anwar Sadat (father- Egyptian Arab Semitic White-mother-Black Sudanese) denied this until shortly before his death. Many of the people on wall art are, in fact, Black Nubian Egyptian slaves (also some free) as well as peoples of other ethnic backgrounds (small sampling of the Arabs (Semitic Whites) and other peoples (Blacks and other ethinicities and admixtures): http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/port...http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egy...http://showcase.netins.net/web/ankh/ http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/...

Bantu is a general term for over 400 different ethnic groups in Africa, from Cameroon, Southern Africa, Central Africa, to Eastern Africa, united by a common language family (the Bantu languages) and in many cases common customs. How they spread throughout such a wide area has been the focus of much study and theorizing. It is generally accepted that the Bantu-speaking peoples originated from West Africa around 4,000 years ago, although there is less consensus on the exact reasons for and course of their expansion. Prior to that time, the southern half of Africa is believed to have been populated by Khoisan speaking people. After the Bantu expansion, many of the great kingdoms of South Africa were ruled by Bantu people, who tended to be highly resourceful and adaptable. Their kingdoms traded with the Europeans as they started to colonize Africa; however, the Europeans pressured the existing Bantu populations to move. Although Africans from all over the coastal regions of West Africa were captured and taken as slaves to North America, the Bantu people were among the most numerous. Bantu place names over a widespread area of Southern states reflect the presence of large numbers of Bantu, and indicate how Bantu Africans changed the landscape and culture of the white world which had enslaved them.

Parts of the Bantu area include languages from other language families (see map). Estimates of number of speakers of most languages vary widely, due both to the lack of accurate statistics in most developing countries and the difficulty in defining exactly where the boundaries of certain languages lie, particularly in the presence of a dialect continuum. The Bantu language with the largest total number of speakers is Swahili; however, the majority of its speakers use it as a second language. According to Ethnologue, there are over 180 million second-language (L2) speakers of Swahili but only about 2 million native speakers.

The Bantu language most often taught in American Universities is Swahili, but there are many others. For example, the Nyoro (or Ba-Nyoro) of the Kingdom of Bu-Nyoro (in Uganda) are speakers of a Bantu language (called Lu-Nyoro). ( Wikipedia link for Bantu languages . ) The Bantu Homeland The first Bantu speakers seem to have lived in the area that is today Nigeria and Cameroon (roughly at the \"\"notch\"\" on the west side of Africa). Their early Neolithic adaptation involved yams and bananas, which may have originated in Malaysia. The more or less simultaneous development of (1) agriculture and of (2) iron-working (and the extensive trade it promoted) was once thought to be the underlying reason for the initial Bantu expansion out of the homeland area. However two relevant bodies of research seem to contradict this view: That the migration of Bantu speakers came after their development of agriculture seems to be confirmed by the fact that across Bantu languages there are cognate (historically related) words for many crops, including yams and oil-bearing palms, and for domestic goats. That would suggest the separation of these languages only after these crops became part of daily life."

Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Bantu languages (technically Narrow Bantu languages) constitute a grouping belonging to the Niger-Congo family. This grouping is deep down in the genealogical tree of the Bantoid grouping, which in turn is deep down in the Niger-Congo tree. By one estimate, there are 513 languages in the Bantu grouping, 681 languages in Bantoid, and 1,514 in Niger-Congo. [ 1] Bantu languages are spoken basically east and south of the present day nation of Nigeria; i.e., in the regions commonly known as central Africa, east Africa, and southern Africa. Parts of this Bantu chunk of Africa also have languages from outside the Niger-Congo family (see map). The word Bantu was first used by Wilhelm Heinrich Immanuel Bleek (1827-1875) with the meaning 'people', as this is reflected in many of the languages of this group. A common characteristic of Bantu languages is that they use a stem form such as -ntu or -tu for 'person', and the plural prefix for people in many languages is ba-, together giving ba-ntu \"\"people\"\". Bleek, and later Carl Meinhof, pursued extensive comparative studies of Bantu language grammars.thenetsurfer · 1 decade ago0 1 Comment The Bantu originated near what is now the border of Nigeria and Cameroon.

Most historians think Africa's history started with the Bantu peoples, A group of African language speakers (Bantu languages) that originally lived in the notch of western Africa. In around 1500 B. C. E., the Bantu speakers stumbled upon the domestication of yams and bananas. Just like wheat did in Mesopotamia and Egypt and rice did in India and China, having a stable supply of food made dramatic changes for the Bantu. They began domesticating goats around the same time, as well."

If one studies the etymology of a word and looks at all the neighboring cultures and their languages around at the time it is possible to reconstruct Egyptian to a certain extent. Although people will always disagree. This etymology page was started by me years ago in hopes of reconstructing some of the words of Ancient Egyptian and has expanded greatly over the years. People have argued ever since Hieroglyphics were cracked on how to pronounced the language and the ignorance seems to be getting worse.

"text": "\"Exploring the Niger-Congo Languages Gwenyth J. Lafleur INTRODUCTION The Niger-Congo Language family represents one of the largest groups of languages in the world. It consists of 1,436 languages and dialects spread over a relatively small geographic area (Grimes 64). With such a large group of languages, it will be impossible to go too much in depth concerning individual languages, but I will try to touch on the larger sub-groups in order to gain a greater understanding of the way this family is structured. One of the best ways to go about this is to study the different classifications which have been attempted over the last 150 years or so. After I have discussed the classifications, I will continue to break down the Niger-Congo family into its subgroups so that we may have a look, however brief, at each of the main groups. EARLY CLASSIFICATIONS One of the earliest known classifications of the African languages was presented in Adelung and Vater’s Mithridates (1812) and it divides all of the African languages into four groups: the Berber languages in the north, the Bushman and Hottentot languages in the south, and all of the remaining languages were grouped under the title \"\"Central Africa\"\" (Bendor-Samuel 3). Adelung continued to break down these groupings and was able to put together some related languages: a Mandingo group, an Amina (Akan) group, and a Congo group which, however, does not relate to other Bantu languages (Bendor-Samuel 3). In 1826 Balbi regrouped the African languages into five geographical divisions: 1.) Nile, 2.) Atlas, 3.)"

"text": "Bantu languages, a group of some 500 languages belonging to the Bantoid subgroup of the Benue-Congo branch of the Niger-Congo language family. The Bantu languages are spoken in a very large area, including most of Africa from southern Cameroon eastward to Kenya and southward to the southernmost tip of the continent. Twelve Bantu languages are spoken by more than five million people, including Rundi, Rwanda, Shona, Xhosa, and Zulu. Swahili, which is spoken by five million people as a mother tongue and some 30 million as a second language, is a Bantu lingua franca important in both commerce and literature. Much scholarly work has been done since the late 19th century to describe and classify the Bantu languages. Special mention may be made of Carl Meinhof ’s work in the 1890s, in which he sought to reconstruct what he called ur-Bantu (the words underlying contemporary Bantu forms), and the descriptive work carried out by Clement Doke and the Department of Bantu Studies at the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, in the period 1923–53. A monumental four-volume classification of Bantu languages, Comparative Bantu (1967–71), which was written by Malcolm Guthrie, has become the standard reference book used by most scholars—including those who disagree with Guthrie’s proposed classification, which sets up a basic western and eastern division in Bantu languages with a further 13 subdivisions. A variety of tonal systems are found in Bantu languages; tone may carry a lexical or grammatical function. In Zulu, for instance, the lexical function is shown in the contrast between íyàngà ‘doctor’ and íyāngá ‘moon’ or yālá ‘refuse’ and yālà ‘begin.’ The grammatical function is illustrated in ūmúntù ‘person’ and ùmúntù ‘it is a person’ or ngīhlānzā ‘I wash’ and ngīhlánzà ‘I washing’ (the participial form)."

"title": "http://countrystudies.us/south-africa/3.htm\nThe Arrival of Bantu-Speaking Africans",
"text": "South Africa Table of Contents Bantu-speaking Africans, whose descendants make up the overwhelming majority of the present-day inhabitants of South Africa, had moved south of the Limpopo River by about 1,500 years ago. Farmers who combined knowledge of cattle-keeping and slash-and-burn (swidden) cultivation with expertise in metal-working, the Bantu speakers came from West Central Africa north of the Congo River near present-day Cameroon. Historians and archaeologists now argue that this movement took place not in any single great migration but rather in a slow southward shift of people throughout sub-Saharan Africa that resulted from the gradual drying up of the Sahara beginning about 8,000 years ago. The southward movement involved not the conquering hordes previously imagined but rather a moving frontier of farmers seeking new fields and pastures who interacted with pastoralists and hunter-gatherers, sometimes trading, sometimes incorporating people in client relationships, sometimes fighting for access to the same crucial resources. The farmers settled throughout southern Africa east of the 400-millimeter rainfall line and as far as the southwestern limits of cropping along the Great Kei River. The Bantu-speaking farmers chose to minimize risks rather than to maximize production in their use of the environment. They kept large herds of cattle and invested these animals with great material and symbolic value. Cattle provided a means to acquire and to display considerable wealth, and they were used for significant social and political transactions, such as bridewealth compensation ( lobola ) and tribute demands. Cattle were also valued for their milk and for their hides, but they were seldom killed for their meat except on ceremonial occasions. Hunting of game continued to provide a major source of protein, while additional supplies came from domesticated goats and sheep."

"text": "Full Answer The first explanation asserts that the Bantu originated in the West African regions of the Cameroon Highlands and Baunchi plateau, located in Nigeria. This would mean that the Niger basin was the cradle land of the original Bantu groups. However, another theory posits that the Bantu actually came from the Katanga region, which is located in southeastern Congo. It's then believed that the Bantu spread eastward and southward, reaching the the lower Congo region. Bantu migration happened quickly, and this could have been from the commonality in language between the various groups. The Bantu migration split into a west and east division as the groups moved southward through the continent. In the east, Bantu people utilized the wide, dry land for agricultural purposes. In the west, the wet, vast grasslands were ideal for raising cattle. The Bantu migration greatly defined Africa's cultural and economic makeup. Today, many of the eastern, central and southern parts of the continent consist of people directly descended from these original Bantu groups."

Parasitic barnacles and barnacles that attach themselves to rocks or passing ships differ slightly in their body's makeup. Barnacles are a very variable species, but the parasitic variety usually infest sharks, sea turtles, and baleen whales. Faster moving whales are usually immune from barnacle infestation because the barnacle feeds better in slower moving water and can stayed attached to their host more easily. While barnacles may be considered parasitic in nature their relationship to the whale is more an example of commensalism, meaning that neither the host nor the parasite is harmed because of the relationship.

Ocean sunfish, or molas, look like the invention of a mad scientist. Huge and flat, these silvery-gray fish have tiny mouths and big eyes that vanish into an even bigger body with a truncated tail. Topping out around 5,000 pounds, molas are the world's heaviest bony fish. ( This category doesn't count sharks and rays. The whale shark is 10 times bigger. ) With their tank-like bodies, molas were clearly not built for life in the fast lane, but they hold their own against faster and flashier fishes and are able to live in almost all of the world's oceans. They are known to spend time near the ocean surface but tagging shows that molas are also prolific divers and migrate long distances at depth."

Although it is frequently confused for a mollusc because of its hard outer shell, it is actually a crustacean, closely related to crabs and lobsters. Barnacles are most often seen as roughly circular sessileinvertebrates (which means that they cannot move on their own), and are permanently attached to the substrate they live on. In their juvenile form they are free-floating, but eventually they attach themselves to any nearby rock, shell, or other object and stay there for the rest of their lives. Their shells are composed of calcite. Barnacles are often seen on crabs, whales, boats, rocks and on the shells of sea turtles. Although some species of barnacle are parasitic, most barnacle species are harmless, because they are filter feeders and do not interfere with an animal's normal diet and do not harm that animal that they live on in any way. Many species of barnacle are so harmless that in fact, an animal that is covered in them, may not even notice! There are more than 1,000 known species of barnacle that inhabit shallow and tidal waters around the world. Although many species of barnacle are very small, some can grow to as large as 7cm and even bigger barnacles can often be seen."

They are an important factor in the ecology of populations, determining mortality of prey and birth of new predators . Predation is an important evolutionary force: natural selection favors more effective predators and more evasive prey. \"\" Arms races\"\" have been recorded in some snails, which over time become more heavily armored prey, and their predators, crabs, which over time develop more massive claws with greater crushing power. Predation is widespread and easy to observe. Neither its existence nor its importance is in doubt. The Development of Predation Theory Mathematical models of predation are amongst the oldest in ecology. The Italian mathematician Volterra is said to have developed his ideas about predation from watching the rise and fall of Adriatic fishing fleets."

"text": "Pets & Animals Marine Life Q: How Do Bivalves Feed? A: Quick Answer Most bivalves absorb nutrition by filter feeding, which involves drawing particles of food into their gills through their mouths and into their stomachs. Some bivalves trap food with mucus-covered tentacles. Others are carnivorous, using siphons to draw in worms, larvae and crustaceans that are then pushed into their mouths. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Do Oysters Eat? How Do Sea Stars Eat? How Do Echinoderms Eat? Full Answer Bivalves are aquatic mollusks that have hinged shells but no head or jaws. The large gills in most bivalves draw oxygen and food from the surrounding water. Mucus traps the food, and cilia move the mucus-bound food to the mouth."

Cribb 2 3Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/S0065-308X (01)48006-7 Get rights and content Abstract This review is the first to draw together knowledge about bioadhesives secreted by a group of parasites. Mechanisms of mechanical attachment are well known among parasites, but some can also attach to host surfaces by chemical means using a thin layer of adhesive material secreted at the parasite-host interface. Attachment by adhesives to living surfaces has not been studied in detail previously. A significant volume of research has determined much about the chemistry and nature of bioadhesives secreted by various marine macroinvertebrates from different phyla for attachment to inert substrates. Mussels and barnacles are sessile and adhere permanently, whereas starfish display temporary but firm adhesion during locomotion, feeding and burrowing. We focus on the Platyhelminthes that comprises the largely free-living Turbellaria and the wholly parasitic Monogenea, Cestoda, Digenea and Aspidogastrea. The term tissue adhesion is introduced to describe attachment by adhesives to epithelial surfaces such as fish epidermis and the lining of the vertebrate gut. These living layers regenerate rapidly, secrete mucus, are a site for immune activity and are therefore especially hostile environments for organisms that inhabit them, presenting a significant challenge for adhesion. Not all platyhelminths adhere to living surfaces and types of adhesion to inert substrates by the free-living turbellarians are also reviewed. Tissue adhesion is particularly well exemplified by monopisthocotylean monogeneans, parasites that are especially mobile as larvae, juveniles and adults on the epidermis of the body and gill surfaces of fish."

Gray whales are mottled gray in color with a narrow V-shaped head. They grow to a length of about 45 feet (13.7 meters) and produce sounds including moans, rumbles and growls. The most prevalent call is a series of knocking sounds. Two gray whale calves were captured and housed in California's Sea World, each for a year. Scientists gathered a great deal of information from these whales because they are the only baleen whales that have been held in captivity. The whales were released after they were too big for their tanks. Interesting Facts: Gray whales used to be known as \"\"devilfish\"\" because they fiercely defend themselves and their calves against whalers. There are now about 18,000 gray whales in the Eastern Pacific stock. The eastern North Pacific stock of gray whales was removed from the endangered species list in 1994, however they are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act."

"text": "Rock oysters Scientific name Saccostrea glomerata Production Oyster production is only one-tenth of what it was during 1880-1910. Queensland markets now rely predominantly on oysters from New South Wales. In Queensland all of the aquacultured oyster production occurs south of Hervey Bay, with the majority of oyster areas in Moreton Bay. The Queensland industry is based on production of the rock oyster ( Saccostrea glomerata) using aquaculture 'furniture' (e.g. sticks, racks, trays) on tidal land, predominately above mean low water. In 2007 there were 114 approved oyster areas covering approximately 450 hectares of tidal land. The seasonal occurrence of the disease QX in South East Queensland waters restricts the tidal areas where oysters can be viably produced and limits the growing season. Oyster biology Oysters live in the mid to lower part of the intertidal zone. They are suspension filter feeders and remove plankton and other organic microscopic particles from the water as it passes through their gills. The life cycle of the oyster begins when eggs and sperm are shed into the water where fertilisation takes place. After 2-3 weeks the larvae settle and attach themselves to a surface where they continue to grow."

They include various familiar animals, such as lobsters, crabs, shrimp, crayfish and barnacles. The majority are aquatic, living in either fresh water or marine environments, but a few groups have adapted to terrestrial life, such as terrestrial crabs, terrestrial hermit crabs and woodlice. The majority are motile, moving about independently, although a few taxa are parasitic and live attached to their hosts (including sea lice, fish lice, whale lice, tongue worms, and Cymothoa exigua, all of which may be referred to as \"\"crustacean lice\"\"), and adult barnacles live a sessile life — they are attached head-first to the substrate and cannot move independently. The scientific study of crustaceans is known as carcinology. Other names for carcinology are malacostracology, crustaceology and crustalogy, and a scientist who works in carcinology is a carcinologist, crustaceologist or crustalogist.

Usually she is the first out and the last in, but she stayed in the box! Eventually she got up and went onto the step to look around outside. I picked up her egg and turned to leave, she ran inside into the box and started screaming. So I put the egg on the side of the box, she tried to peck me and tucked the egg under her, wings spread slightly to cocoon it.

She will first express broodiness in the nests she regularly uses to lay her eggs. You may find that she is lingering in the nest a lot longer than usual for egg laying. She will have a settled, Zen-like intensity that is hard to describe but distinctive once you learn to spot it. If you reach into the nest, she may peck your hand, or put up her back in a threatening manner and emit a loud “ sqwarrkk! ” All these signs are indicative only, and of course are subjective. But if you come back at night and that hen has remained on the nest rather than going to roost, there’s an excellent chance she is broody. Broody Box Once you conclude the hen is broody, move her to a separate place to brood. Trust me on this one: She cannot stay in the regular egg nest. If she does, other hens will get in the nest with her to lay their eggs, in the process breaking eggs and coating the rest with goo."

Answer by James Dawe Confidence votes 59.8KStarted career as professional chef then a district sales manager for a wine & spirits company. Retired in 2005, breeding Araucana chickens. Broody hens do and will leave the eggs for a small amount of time. They will leave to eat, drink and defecate. They will usually do this when things in the coop are calm and quiet. If a hen remains off the nest for more than an hour or so then there may be a problem. The incubating eggs cannot be allowed to cool more than a few degrees and the hen instinctively knows this. If your hen has left the nest for more than two hours you should remove the eggs and artificially incubate as soon as possible."

The best idea is to gain experience and confidence in both. Hen eggs take 21 days to hatch, duck and turkey eggs 28 days, most goose eggs 28 - 30 days and Muscovy eggs 35 days. Some very small bantam eggs may be a day early and really large poultry such as Cochins may be a day extra. Natural hatching Natural hatching under a broody hen is the ideal way to raise a few chicks. It is however essentially dependent on having a broody hen at the same time as the eggs you want to set. Silkie crosses make the best broodies; either Silkie x Wyandotte or Silkie x Sussex. A small pen of those can be bred alongside the purebreds. Alternatively they may be purchased around the neighbourhood , although this is less likely than it used to be. The Golden Rules of natural hatching are: tender care, attention to detail and keep it simple."

"text": "Chickens So You've Got a Broody Hen - How to Break Broodiness in Chickens January 24, 2012A broody hen can be a godsend if you are trying to hatch chicks. No worries about incubators, brooder boxes or heat lamps...the hen will take care of it all. However, if none of your eggs are fertile, or you aren't interested in hatching any chicks, a broody hen is not something you want. Not only do broody hens stop laying eggs and pluck out their breast feathers, they only leave the nest for short periods of time to eat and drink a bit (but not nearly as much as they really need, resulting in weight loss and possible malnutrition), they also make it difficult for the other hens to lay their eggs by hogging the nest. Other hens may start pecking at the broody trying to get her to leave the nest, which can not only injure her, but lead to cannibalism. Also, she might be bullied once she returns to the flock since she has been absent for several weeks. Normally, the peeps of the hatching chicks signal to a broody that she is done sitting - but clearly if eggs never hatch under her, she never gets that signal to stop, so you need to 'encourage' her or 'break' her. Broodiness is also 'contagious' to some extent and one broody can induce others to go broody. I guess kind of like women who work or live together who's menstrual cycles start to coincide with each other. Hormones can be tricky like that!Broody hens also have a greater chance at contracting mites and other parasites, although using herbs in the nesting boxes can alleviate the parasite concern to a great extent."

"text": "\"Raising Chickens Farm Animals What to Do With a Broody Hen Tips on handling and how to break a broody hen By Lauren Arcuri Updated 02/23/18Share Pin Email Loop Images/David Cheshire / Getty Images A broody hen is a chicken that has decided to sit on and hatch a clutch of eggs. The eggs may be fertilized or unfertilized. The broody hen will sit on the eggs day and night, leaving only once daily to eat, drink, and poop. If you try to remove her from her eggs, she may hiss at you and peck you. Broodiness is driven by several factors: genetics, hormone, instinct, and lighting conditions. Some breeds are more prone to going broody than others. Buff Orpingtons, for example, are very broody hens. And if a hen has a dark, comfortable, undisturbed spot where she can nest, she may roll a clutch of eggs (usually twelve to fourteen) to that spot and begin to brood. She will pluck the feathers from her own breast so that her moist, warm skin keeps the eggs warm, and the feathers insulate the nest. If anyone tries to disturb her, she will hiss, growl, shriek, puff up, and peck at you."

He currently has collected about 20 eggs and is wanting to know if they are fertile, so that he can put them in an incubator. While I am not allowed to have roosters due to my neighborhood covenants, I have always kind of wondered if I would get a fertilized egg before I get rid of them. { We order chicks and usually get a rooster or two out of the bunch–we get rid of the rooster pretty soon after we know that it is in fact a rooster, though. } So, first a little talk about the birds and the bees {only, in this case, it really only involves two birds}. In order for an egg to become fertilized, the rooster and the hen have to have mated prior to the formation of the egg. If this happens, the hen will lay a fertilized egg. This probably goes without saying, but if you don’t have a rooster, you will not have any fertilized eggs…ever."

"text": "Raising Chickens Small Farm Farm Animals Top 10 Tips for Hatching Chicks Naturally By Lauren Arcuri Updated 07/11/17Share Pin Email Pava/Wikimedia Commons Some hens tend to go broody without any help, and you may wish to encourage this behavior so you can have new baby chicks to increase your flock. Besides my comprehensive guide to raising chicks from a broody hen, I've compiled these quick tips to help you understand what to do - and what not to do - with a broody hen. You can't force a hen to go broody. The broody trait is something that hens either have, or they don't. If you are very committed to raising chicks naturally, you will want to select a breed like Buff Orpingtons that have a high level of broodiness naturally. Still, not every Buff Orpington will go broody. You'll want to wait until one of your hens goes broody naturally - she will sit all day on the nest in a trance-like state, and hiss, growl and/or peck at you if you try to remove her. She will only get off once a day to eat, poop and drink. She'll be all fluffed up and flattened out over the eggs. You do need a rooster to hatch chicks naturally."

"text": "Chickens ADVERTISEMENTImage Source Chickens (Gallus domesticus) are domestic birds that cannot fly. There are over 150 different breeds of chicken that come in various colours, patterns and sizes. The chicken is believed to have descended from the wild Indian and south-east Asian Red Junglefowl which is biologically classified as the same species. With a population of more than 24 billion in 2003, there are more chickens in the world than any other bird. Chickens provide two sources of food frequently consumed by humans: their meat, also known as chicken, and eggs which they lay. Chickens have a great usefulness to humans. Chickens can be kept as pets, for breeding, egg laying and a food product. There are many different breeds that come in a variety of colours. A female chicken is called a ‘hen’. A male chicken is called a ‘rooster’."

The breed was recognised as early as 1874 under the name Barred Plymouth Rock which describes the markings they had. They are large, long lived chickens and the hens have a deep, full abdomen which is a sign of a good layer. They have a broad, deep and well-rounded breast and bright yellow legs. The face is red with red ear lobes, a bright yellow beak, bay coloured eyes and a single medium sized comb. Behaviour They are friendly birds which are easy to tame and are vigorous and hardy birds which don\\'t need a lot of space but do appreciate the chance to run free, They are not good fliers so do not require high fencing. They lay a good number of cream coloured eggs averaging around 200 per year. Plymouth Rocks do tend towards broodiness though so regular egg collecting is important to avoid too much of this. Chicks feather up quickly and make wonderful pets for children due to their docile nature. Varieties There are several varieties of Plymouth Rock, the barred, white and buff being the classic ones."

Posted by The Happy Chicken Coop on June 12, 2015 Posted In: Guides Your hen is squawking whenever you approach her and she won’t leave her nesting box, what’s wrong, is she ill? Far from it and chances are she is just broody and wants chicks. If you aren’t planning on having chicks this can be problematic because the hen in question will stop laying eggs. Whatever the case, you can be certain that if you want chicks and need a broody hen there won’t be one in sight, however the day you don’t want a broody hen is the day you get one!Certain breeds of chicken are more likely to turn broody, read our guide on chicken breeds if you want to know more about this. Let’s take a look at how to spot a broody hen and want you can do to stop her being broody. What Is a Broody Hen? A broody hen is a hen which wants their eggs to hatch. She will sit on top of her eggs (and others which she’s stolen) all day long in attempt to hatch them. Clearly, if there is no rooster involved then the eggs won’t be fertile and she can sit on top of the eggs for the rest of her life but they still won’t hatch!There is no exact science to exactly what makes a hen go broody- it’s a combination of their hormones, instinct and maturity."

I have two barred rocks and upon looking in the coop today I noticed Esther was sitting in the box. She lays early in the morning, never the afternoon, so I opened the door to the garden. Usually she is the first out and the last in, but she stayed in the box! Eventually she got up and went onto the step to look around outside. I picked up her egg and turned to leave, she ran inside into the box and started screaming. So I put the egg on the side of the box, she tried to peck me and tucked the egg under her, wings spread slightly to cocoon it. I work on a farm, so i'm used to broody hens, and know how to break them."

Some varieties are good layers while others are bred principally for meat. They possess a long, broad back; a moderately deep, full breast; and yellow skin and legs. The hens have a deep, full abdomen, which is a sign of a good layer. The face of a Plymouth Rock is red with red ear lobes, a bright yellow beak, bay-colored eyes, and a single comb of moderate size.

They were first developed in the early 1900's. This cross produces offspring that are very good layers throughout the year and lay a large off-white/cream color egg. The Austra White pullet will be white with little black specks in some feathers. This cross is considered to be a heavier breed and their disposition is calmer than the pure Leghorn chicken breed.

"text": "\"Method1 Things to Consider Before Buying Your Chicks1 Make sure you have the resources to raise chickens. Raising baby chickens is a rewarding experience, but it is not something you should jump into too quickly. Before you raise baby chickens, think long and hard about why you want to keep chickens and whether you have the time, money and space to provide for them. In terms of expense, keeping chickens is relatively cheap compared to other animals. However, chicken feed is a necessary and ongoing expense, and vets' bills can add up if one or more of your chickens falls ill. You may also need to invest in a breeder and/or a coop if you are raising chickens for the first time. Chickens are not terribly time-consuming, but you will need to feed and water them daily, keep their coop clean (which involves shoveling manure) and collect their eggs once or twice daily. If you are planning on going away for more than a couple of days, you will need to seek out a chicken-sitter, which can be tricky. If you let eggs accumulate in the nest boxes, the hens may become broody, which is where they will hiss and growl if you attempt to collect the eggs. To discourage this, loom into a broody box.2 Look into the legality of keeping chickens in your area."

Controversy centres around the view that Anconas are akin to the original mottled Leghorn and, therefore, a member of the Leghorn family. However, the fact remains that breeders adhere to the name of Ancona. The breed has retained its popularity on the show - bench not only for its laying propensities, but because of its combination of breed type and characteristics with usefulness. Andalusian Leonard Barber is believed to have been the first importer of chickens from the Andalucia region of Spain in 1846-7, but these had an assortment of plumage colours. The standard Blue Andalusian, with its characteristic sharp lacing, was developed in England. The two leading breeders in the 1850s who started this process were John Taylor, of Shepherd’s Bush, London, and Mr Coles of Fareham, Hampshire. It took several decades of selective breeding by a succession of fanciers before birds with the perfect colour and lacing depicted by Victorian artists became a reality. Andalusian bantams first appeared in the 1880s. Appenzeller The Appenzell Canton is the north - eastern part of Switzerland."

"text": "Barred Plymouth Rock chickens are calm birds that are adaptable to many environments. ILLUSTRATION: CAROLYN GUSKEThe Barred Plymouth Rock chicken breed is well known as a strong dual-purpose chicken, as they are a good poulty breed for year-round egg laying as well as meat production. The roots of the Barred Plymouth Rock chicken lie in the American Dominique. Long before the official recognition of poultry breeds in the APA Standard of Perfection, barred birds from New England were called Dominiques, Plymouth Country Fowls, and Plymouth Rocks. At the first American poultry show in Boston in 1849, both Dominiques and Plymouth Rocks were exhibited, but any distinction between them was certainly fuzzy. Both rose and single combs were seen in both flocks. In 1865, a cross was made between a Dominique cock and a Black Cochin hen, or, according to others, it was a Black Java hen. Or perhaps both. Four years later, a Plymouth Rock chicken was on exhibit at Worcester, Massachusetts. The distinction between the emerging Plymouth Rock and the Dominique was made the next year at a New York State poultry show."

Chickens called \"\"Plymouth Rocks\"\" were shown as early as 1849, but that flock disappeared and later strains from several different breeders combined to form the foundation of today’s Plymouth Rock breed. Mr. D. A. Upham of Worcester, MA is credited as being one of the primary influences on the breed, he first exhibited his birds at the Worcester, MA poultry exhibition in 1869. His birds are generally acknowledged to be the ancestors of the breed we know today. A number of different breeds are reputed to have gone into the formation of the Plymouth Rock, including Dominique, Brahma, Black Java and Cochin. The breed gained a great deal of popularity quickly and the Plymouth Rock became the most popular farm chicken in the United States up until WWII. The original color of the breed was Barred and early in the breeds history the name \"\"Plymouth Rock\"\" implied a barred bird. Barred varieties remain the most popular color today. As more color varieties were developed, the name Plymouth Rock became the designation for the entire breed, which can now can be found in other colors including White, Buff, Partridge, Silver Penciled, Columbian and Blue."

"text": "\"Hatching Chicken Eggs Naturally There comes a point in many chicken enthusiasts’ lives when they long to experience hatching and raising their own chicks. Essentially there are two choices when it comes to hatching your own chicken eggs; natural incubation under a hen or artificial incubation in an incubator. For natural incubation you will obviously need to have some fertile eggs ready and a broody hen. Whilst fertile eggs are usually available at all times (if not from your own flock, then they can often be purchased elsewhere) the presence of a broody hen is not something you can really control. Some hens go broody only once or twice in their lifetime, others will go broody regularly. Your girl (s) will also be strongly influenced by the time of year and so the window of opportunity is again likely to be further narrowed down to the warmer weather of the spring or summer. Photo By Dottie Day Once you do have a broody she will probably benefit from a secluded nest and having food and water within easy reach. The nest is safest close to ground level to prevent any unfortunate accidents when the chicks are hatching out. A small coop or area of a coop if available can be an ideal solution as it also allows her and the chicks some safety and privacy if she is to raise them. She will need to leave the nest from time to time, but these periods will be brief, and unless she is quite young and / or flighty, she is not likely to abandon the nest unless she has cause to (i.e. a predator attack or if she knows there are no surviving chicks left to hatch out)."

Broodiness is the action or behavioral tendency to sit on a clutch of eggs to incubate them, often requiring the non-expression of many other behaviors including feeding and drinking. [ 1] Being broody has been defined as \"\"Being in a state of readiness to brood eggs that is characterized by cessation of laying and by marked changes in behavior and physiology\"\". [ 2] Broody birds often pluck feathers from their chest and abdomen, using them to cover the eggs. As a consequence of this, they develop one or several patches of bare skin on the ventral surface. These reddish, well-vascularized areas of skin are usually called brood patches, and improve heat transfer to the eggs. Broodiness is usually associated with female birds, although males of some bird species become broody and some non-avian animals also show broodiness."

We are putting buckets in the nest at 4:00 p.m. each day after the hens have finished laying their eggs. After 21 days of “setting” we want Poppy to get back to roosting on the roosts with the others and stop being “broody”. We used to call them “setting” hens when I was a girl. Today we refer to them as “broody”. Both terms refer to a hen that sits on a nest….. day after day after day. It works like this. Whether or not you have a rooster, a hen will lay a certain amount of eggs in her lifetime. Some breeds lay more, some less."

"text": "\"Hens Acting Broody When a hen \"\"goes broody\"\" it means she has decided she wants to sit on her eggs and hatch chicks. A normal hen will sit on the nest for an hour or so each day while she lays her egg. When she is done she will leave the nest and resume her daily activities. In contrast, a broody hen will sit on the nest all day and all night except for a short daily break. This behavior is called \"\"setting\"\" or \"\"brooding. \"\" A broody Hen with her chick A broody hen will try to gather a bunch of eggs (called a \"\"clutch\"\") together in one nest. Broody hens may look for secret places to lay their eggs so that you don't take them away. When a broody hen feels that she has enough eggs, she will stop laying and start sitting on the eggs she has collected. A hen's eggs can only start to develop into chicks if they are fertile and have proper warmth for a period of time. The amount of time a non-broody hen spends on the nest every day is not enough for an embryo to begin to develop."

"text": "\"Categories: All All > Glossary All > Chicken Health > Not Laying Q: What does the word \"\"broody\"\" mean? A: When a hen is broody, that means she wants to hatch her eggs and raise chicks. A breed known for frequent broodiness has hens that often, individually go broody. These hens may not even need eggs to set on to be broody--they may brood in a nest with no eggs. Or in a corner on rocks. Further, if there ARE eggs in the nest, if there is not a rooster in your flock, your hens will not know that their eggs won't be fertile. Your hen will seem to be in a sort of bad temper while she broods, she may pluck out her breast feathers so she can be closer to the eggs, and she may even screech a warning at any birds or people who come near her nest! Her warning means, \"\"Stay back, this nest is mine for hatching!\"\" Actually, we find it charming when our hens are broody--they are beautiful when they're angry!Once a day or so your hen may emerge from her nest like a whirling dervish: all her feathers will be ruffled out so she will look VERY BIG. She will hold her wings out from her body to give herself even more apparent size."

The Pirates lost by that score and clinched an 18th consecutive losing season, losing their 82nd game of the season.0 Comments By Orange County Register August 23, 2010 at 7:43 am PITTSBURGH — Don’t feel too sorry for the cellar-dwelling Pittsburgh Pirates. Losing has been profitable. The Pirates made nearly $29.4 million in 2007 and 2008, according to team financial documents, years that were part of a streak of futility that has now reached 18 straight losing seasons. The team’s ownership also paid its partners $20.4 million in 2008. The documents offer a rare peek inside a team that made money by getting slightly less than half its income (about $70 million) from MLB sources — including revenue sharing, network TV, major league merchandise sales and MLB’s website. The team also held down costs, keeping player salaries near the bottom of the National League, shedding pricier talent and hoping that untested prospects would blossom. The club’s earnings were included in nearly 40 pages of statements that the Pirates submitted to Major League Baseball and were recently obtained by The Associated Press. Team officials briefed local reporters on portions of the material Sunday. The AP wasn’t invited to the session, which owner Bob Nutting said was “aimed at the recent leak."

"text": "Sports Baseball Do you have to play college baseball before you can play in the MLB?just wondering Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There is no requirement to play college baseball before you can play in the majors. Many sign out of high school in the U. S. before they eventually make the majors. Many sign out of Latin America and other international regions and get into the majors without playing college baseball. However, you pretty much have to play minor league baseball before you can play in the MLB, which I think is more to your point, whether there is some sort of requirement for players to play in the MLB. In the history of the MLB, there have been very few players who go straight to the majors, the vast, vast majority spend some time in the minors, even Tim Lincecum pitched a good number of games in the minors. Check out the source I linked, it has a great list of players who have played many years in the majors without playing in the minors, most of them were in the first half of the 20th Century, but they have gotten rarer and rarer. I think Bob Horner was the last one from college to go straight to the majors from college and Mike Morgan was the last who when straight to the majors from high school, though he eventually had to be sent down to the minors because he was not ready. The one exception, if you will, has been the Japanese league players, like Ichiro, Godzilla, and Dice-K, as they went straight to the majors without first proving themselves in the minors, but basically they had been playing at a minor league caliber level in Japan, so while that is definitionally correct, it is not fair to include them as players in this category.

The sun is shining over Miller Park in Milwaukee’s Story Hill neighborhood, and the humidity, like the temperature, is running high. Randy and Stacey Schafer don’t mind the heat, though. They’re in town for a very special baseball series. The Milwaukee Brewers are hosting the New York Mets for a three-game set that weekend, and the Schafers have made the trip from Los Gatos to the Midwest to watch their two sons play against each other in a Major League baseball game. It won’t happen this summer. Maybe not for a few summers. But it’s a scene that the family certainly hopes will play out sometime in the future as Logan and Justin Schafer work their way up through the ranks in professional baseball. It’s been a long journey since their early beginnings playing in the Los Gatos Little League at Baggerly Field, but these two Little League all-stars, high school all-leaguers and collegiate standouts have realized every boy’s dream by signing pro contracts. Logan Schafer, 25, made a miraculous jump from Single A through Double A and Triple A to reach the Brewers’ Major League club by season’s end last fall, and he’s earned a place on Milwaukee’s 40-man roster this spring. And with a .556 batting average over the first 10 games of spring training, he’s making a good case for himself to claim a spot on the roster this April."

"text": "\"N. F. L. vs. M. L. B. as a Labor Market: A Freakonomics Quorum November 28, 2007 @ 11:34amby Stephen J. Dubner It’s a widely held perception that the professional athletes who constitute Major League Baseball and the National Football League have different levels of power — i.e., players have more juice in M. L. B., while it’s a team’s ownership that has more power in the N. F. L., often at the expense of individual players. Is this true? We put this question to a handful of insiders: Vince Gennaro, Darren Rovell, Stan Kasten, and Andrew Zimbalist. Here are their responses: Vince Gennaro, sports consultant and author of Diamond Dollars: The Economics of Winning in Baseball: The radically different business models of the “egalitarian” N. F. L. and the “Darwinian” M. L. B. favor different constituents. With less variability in its revenue streams and a salary cap limiting player compensation, the N. F. L. structure tends to favor the owners. Meanwhile, the M. L. B. model leads to more revenue risk, and allows greater leverage and thus greater compensation for players. Pro football teams engage in a “national” business, with national broadcast rights making up the largest portion of their revenue stream. As such, about 80 percent of the nearly $7 billion of the N. F. L.’s annual revenues are divided evenly among all 32 teams. Before the New York Giants or Kansas City Chiefs ever play a game, they’re each entitled to about $150 million in annual revenue. According to a Forbes estimate, all but one N. F. L. team brought in between $182 and $255 million in 2006 (only the Redskins exceeded $300 million)."

"text": "\"Negro Leagues What was good for baseball in general — Jackie Robinson 's acceptance as the first black player in the all-white Major Leagues in 1947 — was bad for the Negro Leagues that had created a niche for itself just after World War I. The successful Robinson saga quickly opened the floodgates for black stars to display and compare their talents with established white stars of the American and National leagues. Losing its stars to the Major Leagues sapped the Negro Leagues' talent pool. They were, by the early 1960s, forced to fold due to lack of attendance and revenue. The legacy the Negro Leagues is one of courage, perseverance, and strength to overcome the oppressive racial segregation and volitile times of the era. Conversely, by losing its stars to the Major Leagues, it was a sweet-and-sour proposition — the leagues had to fold, but integration of the white baseball establishment was a major step toward gaining equality for the black populace of America. The beginning Following the Civil War, in 1867, the National Association of Base Ball Players, the precursor of today's Major Leagues, was formed. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation had signaled freedom for the American black population during the war, it did not terminate white people's suffocating prejudice and segregationist attitudes. Consequently, the NABBP banned black players from playing in the association. Still, as of the late 1870s, white rosters contained a few African-American names. Most were brief stays, owing to regional bigotry."

"text": "\"Minor League Players Sue For Better Salaries April 01, 2014 By Josh Leventhal Living the hard life has long been considered a rite of passage for playing minor league baseball, just one of the dues for the chance to someday make it to the major leagues. Tim Pahuta (Photo by David Schofield)Long bus rides to play in small-town ballparks before few fans is the stuff of legend, a tradition across generations that most players are aware of before their first Rookie-ball road trip. It's the other reality of being a ballplayer—the sleeping on air mattresses in cramped apartments or host-families' basements while earning barely enough to supplement meager meal money—that makes advancing to the big leagues a challenge not limited to the playing field. This financial hardship has long been part of the journey. If a player is good enough, he'll be making millions in the majors after a few years. If he's not, he'll know it's time to get a real job. Either way, playing minor league baseball is not a career in and of itself, and that's why the pay is so meager. It's a tradition that has gone on for decades. And it's one that could be coming to an end if a group of former players is successful in changing the minor league wage scale. A federal lawsuit filed on behalf of 20 former minor league players against Major League Baseball, Commissioner Bud Selig and 17 major league teams (the organizations the 20 individuals played for) not only could change the current structure of minor league player salaries, but could ultimately alter the structure of minor league baseball as an industry."

Compounding this is that often these scandals revolve around boosters paying players; these boosters are not employed by the universities, so the schools have little to no control over them. What they do is not illegal, so the boosters do not get punished, only the players. Instead, I propose separating the athlete from the student. This would only apply to Division I schools, and I'll use football as an example. I will use The University of Texas' Longhorns as an example.

It was the offseason, and nobody was in the stands. Thankfully, the cameras were rolling. Filmed during a three-week period in December 1959, Home Run Derby showcased the game's top sluggers going head-to-head at Los Angeles' Wrigley Field, previously home to a minor league team. Twenty-six episodes were filmed and, because of the sudden death of the show's host, Mark Scott, there was no second season. It originally aired through the summer of 1960 on local stations across the country. ESPN acquired the rights to the show and re-aired it in 1988. Though every episode is available on i Tunes (and You Tube), Home Run Derby remains somewhat of a hidden gem among baseball fans. As Scott explained to the two hitters before each competition, anything other than a home run was an out. The batters alternated for nine innings, hitting as many dingers as they could before accumulating three outs in an inning."

In High-A ball, you'll earn anywhere from $50 to $100 a pop, depending on whether you have to give a speech. Appearances are first-come, first-served—there are usually only three spaces for signatures—and often are scheduled during a player's sleeping hours or on one of the eight days off a player will get over the course of a seven-month season. Still, you can count on the sheet being covered in names within minutes of its posting. Money is so tight in the minors, getting your name on that list is a godsend. Being a minor league player is a brutal experience—a brutal experience you, dear minor league player, can never speak of. If you ever decide to tell the general public of your disgust with professional baseball, that it's paying you in stale beer and day-old hot dogs for the honor of playing among its chosen immortals, expect your words to echo off into the endless vacuum.

Just about every article written about the problems with youth development in the US will take about the barriers for many due to the high costs. When you participate in an activity that involves travel – the costs will tend to be high. Yet the ‘high-cost’ perspective in the media seems limited mostly to youth soccer, even though competitive baseball and basketball teams have been around for a long time, most affiliated with the Amateur Athletic Union . So is soccer really as drastically expensive as the media would have you believe? Are high costs keeping a number of children out of youth soccer programs? Competitive Soccer Costs First, we’re going to focus on the competitive travel team aÂspect, since at the Recreational level, in most areas, soccer is similar to municipal baseball and basketball programs, played on municipal facilities, using municipal equipment, or they are run through organizations like the YMCA, AYSO, local churches, etc. Even when Rec programs are run by non-profit soccer leagues, the costs are very low. You pay anywhere from $10-$75 for an entire season of activity (usually 3 months). Even when the cost is at the higher end, that usually involves the cost of a uniform to play in, etc."

Right now the MLB has only 900 players. The lowest paid 250 or so don’t get contracts until late summer. At that time, expanding rosters and injuries result in more low-level players becoming active. Others get brought up from the minor leagues in September.

March 31, 2013 is Major League Baseball's opening day so we thought it would be appropriate to take a look at how much the top players are raking in. One of the best things about being a Major League Baseball player is that, unlike the NFL, every contract is guaranteed. That means as soon as the deal is signed, you are entitled to 100% of it regardless of performance, injury or trade. Unfortunately that kind of deal can backfire on the teams if they spend a fortune to lock up a player who doesn't end up working out. Several people on this list of the highest paid baseball players signed monster contracts only to get injured or perform poorly the very next season. When that happens, fans scream for the players to give the money back or re-negotiate, but why would a player ever agree to do that? In this list we'll take a look at 19 elite hitters, catchers and pitchers who are raking in serious coin every season. Keep in mind this list is just contract salaries, it does not include money earned from sponsorships and endorsements. When combined, the highest paid baseball players are paid $364 million per year."

"text": "\"Reverse Weight Gain And Improve Skin In Days With Fiber. Here’s How Americans just do not get enough fiber each day, and this isn’t surprising, since fiber is the indigestible portion of plant foods, and the standard American diet is largely refined, with the healthful fibers often processed out. Unless you regularly eat whole fruits and vegetables, nuts, and seeds, you are probably missing out on the healthiest forms of fiber available – and that is a problem. Individuals with high intakes of dietary fiber appear to be at significantly lower risk for developing coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and certain gastrointestinal diseases. There are two forms of fiber: soluble and insoluble, that are found naturally in the fruits, vegetables, and whole grains we eat. When the fiber in these foods pass through our digestive system, it remains either undigested or gets digested. Both types of fiber are equally important for health, digestion, and preventing conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and various types of cancers. Benefits Of Fiber There’s no shortage of research showing how fiber may boost your health. Some of its top potential benefits include: Blood Sugar Control: Soluble fiber helps slow the body’s breakdown of carbs and the absorption of sugar, aiding blood sugar control. Reduces Risk Of Type 2 Diabetes: The Harvard studies of male health professionals and female nurses both found that a diet high in cereal fiber was linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes."

Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD August 31, 2016You’ve probably heard that eating more fiber is a good thing, but did you know that there’s more than one type of dietary fiber? The two categories experts focus on most are soluble and insoluble. While they're sometimes found in the same foods, they play different roles in supporting good health. Here’s a quick guide to what the two varieties do, plus the best ways to boost your intake. Insoluble fiber This is the type people think of as “roughage.” It’s the tough matter found in whole grains, nuts, and fruits and veggies (specifically in the stalks, skins, and seeds) that doesn't dissolve in water. Insoluble fiber isn't broken down by the gut and absorbed into the bloodstream. It adds bulk to waste in the digestive system, which helps keep you regular and prevent constipation (as well as any related problems, like hemorrhoids).

Soluble fiber, which is dispersible in water, forms a gel-like substance that slows down digestion. This delays intestinal absorption of sugar and starch, and as a result, cholesterol levels sink, which may protect you from heart disease and stroke. Insoluble fiber, which does not dissolve in water, accelerates the movement of food through your stomach and adds bulk to your stool, speeding bowel movements. Getting 25 to 30 grams of fiber in your daily diet may have other health benefits as well.

Thalheimer, RD, LDNToday’s Dietitian Vol. 15 No. 12 P. 16As many dietitians know, heart disease is the No. 1 killer of both men and women in the United States, accounting for one in every four deaths. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common type, leading to angina, arrhythmias, heart attack, and heart failure, and it’s responsible for killing more than 385,000 Americans each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. High blood levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are key indicators of CHD risk. The good news is that these risk factors can be influenced by dietary intake of foods that contain soluble fiber. “Consuming legumes, oats, barley, nuts, certain fruits and vegetables, and psyllium as well as pectin found in fruits and berries can help lower LDL cholesterol,” says Sharon Palmer, RD, author of The Plant-Powered Diet and Plant-Powered for Life. “ These foods contain soluble fiber, which research links to lowering total and LDL cholesterol levels and to reducing risk of heart disease, among other benefits. ”Consuming 5 to 10 g of soluble fiber per day reduces LDL cholesterol levels by approximately 5%.1 The National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel recommends consuming 10 to 25 g of soluble fiber per day and following a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol to help lower blood cholesterol."

Some food are especially high in what's called soluble fiber, which makes them a key factor in keeping your heart healthy. Knowing which foods pack the most soluble fiber can help you keep your blood sugar and cholesterol levels in check. A Brief Look at Soluble Fiber For convenience, health care professionals usually class fiber as either insoluble or soluble. Insoluble fiber is the kind that used to be called \"\"roughage\"\": It passes through your digestive system unchanged, so it doesn't address your body's nutrient needs, but it's helpful in promoting regularity. Soluble fiber is different because it dissolves and forms a gel in the liquid environment of your gut.

However, its health benefits also of fiber include relief from high cholesterol, heart problems, constipation, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and toxicity, cancer, hemorrhoids, and skin conditions. Fiber plays a very important role in digestion and helps prevent constipation, diarrhea, diverticulosis and irritable bowel syndrome. It makes the food bulkier and further aids in glucose absorption so that sugar enters the blood cells at a slow and even pace, maintaining normal blood sugar levels. It also produces vital organic acids that help nurture the lining of the colon. What is Dietary Fiber? Dietary fiber, also known as bulk or roughage, is the part of the plant that cannot be digested or absorbed by the body. It is a form of carbohydrates that cannot be broken into smaller nutrients. It passes through the human digestive tract without undergoing any significant changes. Fibrous substances slow down the eating process and prevent us from overindulging in food."

"text": "\"Psyllium Dietary Fiber Could Cut Health Care Costs131October 13, 2014 • 190,766 views Edition: English Previous Next Story at-a-glance The majority of health care expenditures (75 percent) in the US are spent on preventable diseases, while only 3 percent of such expenditures are invested in disease-prevention programs Daily psyllium could reduce coronary heart disease-related medical events by 11.5 percent Psyllium contains both soluble and insoluble fiber for heart health, weight control, blood sugar support, healthy digestion, and more The recommended daily amount of fiber is between 20 and 30 grams, but I believe about 50 grams per 1,000 calories consumed is ideal; most Americans don’t get nearly this much If US adults took psyllium dietary fiber daily, it could save nearly $4.4 billion a year – and more than $35 billion in cumulative health care costs between 2013 and 2020By Dr. Mercola The majority of health care expenditures (75 percent) in the US are spent on preventable diseases, while only 3 percent of such expenditures are invested in disease-prevention programs, according to a new report funded by the Council for Responsible Nutrition Foundation (CRNF). 1At the heart of such programs should be, undoubtedly, attention to proper nutrition. And when I say \"\"proper,\"\" I'm referring to whole foods, including not only plenty of vegetables but also healthy fats like organic free-range eggs, grass-fed raw butter, coconut oil, and high-quality, organic grass-fed meats. You can find the details to this type of wholesome eating in my nutrition plan, but CRNF's report took a slightly different angle in focusing on specific dietary supplements for disease prevention. Certain supplements do have their place, and one, in particular, emerged as a standout for reducing health care costs for as little as 30 cents a day… psyllium dietary fiber. Daily Psyllium Fiber Could Drastically Cut Health Care Costs The report found that if US adults over the age of 55 with heart disease took psyllium dietary fiber daily, it could save nearly $4.4 billion a year – and more than $35 billion in cumulative health care costs between 2013 and 2020. The reduction comes largely by reducing coronary heart disease-related medical events by 11.5 percent. One such event was estimated to cost over $13,000 in 2012, but despite the potential benefit only 8 percent of US adults over 55 use psyllium supplements. The report estimated that it costs just 30 cents per day to take psyllium fiber at \"\"preventive intake levels,\"\" and noted that it helps support healthy cholesterol levels by inhibiting its absorption in your intestine. Other supplements were also mentioned in the report as valuable for helping control health care costs, particularly in those diagnosed with or at risk of heart disease, diabetes-related heart disease, osteoporosis, or age-related eye disease."

"text": "\"Fava Beans (Broad Beans): Benefits, Nutrition, Side Effects and Information Contents Benefits of Fava Beans Fava Beans Side Effects Fava Beans Nutrition Facts Fava beans, also known as Vicia fabas, broad beans, field beans , bell beans, pigeon beans, windsor beans, horse beans or tic beans, are one of the oldest plants under cultivation, and they were eaten in ancient Greece and Rome. Despite the name, fava beans are a member of the pea family. They are popular in Mediterranean cuisine, with many summer dishes celebrating the seasonal bean, although they are also dried for winter use. Fava beans have a distinct flavor and creamy texture that makes them a great addition to a wide variety of dishes. When intended for consumption, fava beans are planted in February and March to mature through the summer, with their peak coming in July. The beans grow on bushy plants with tapering leaves, yielding anywhere from 25 to 50 pods per plant. The pods resemble pea pods in shape, although they are much larger and lined with a pillowy white material that protects the seeds inside. Fava beans are also used as a cover crop to protect delicate soil, because they grow quickly and produce a great deal of lush foliage. In addition, like most legumes, fava beans are nitrogen fixers, and they replenish the soil with this vital nutrient. Many farmers plant fava beans and plow them back into the field after the growth has peaked for mulch."

Fiber is a plant based carbohydrate that can not be broken down or digested. It is sometimes called roughage because it is a tough and sturdy filament that the body cannot digest. In this guide, we are referring to dietary fiber rather than textile fibers. Fiber passes through the digestive tract more or less unscathed. There are two types of dietary fiber, and they react differently to digestion. These fibers include soluble fiber, and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber refers to fiber that is water soluble and, when digested, does change form but is not absorbed by the body. It becomes a gel like mass in the intestines, and is later excreted as waste. Insoluble fiber does not change form, and remains intact throughout the digestive process."

But dietary fiber also performs other key roles that might surprise you, affecting everything from your skin to your gallbladder, heart and immunity. There’s one ingredient that should be part of every meal. There’s no need to make a trip to a special store to find it: Nature has already thoughtfully prepackaged it in a cornucopia of vegetables, legumes, fruits and nuts. The special ingredient? Fiber. No huge surprise there. We’ve known for decades that fiber-rich foods are good for us. Many experts have observed that as people in other cultures have given up their traditional diets and adopted Western eating habits (dominated by processed foods much lower in fiber and higher in sugar), they’ve become susceptible to weight gain and a host of illnesses. Meanwhile, a torrent of studies have shown that fiber-rich foods work wonders in the body, regulating blood-sugar levels, reducing the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, breast cancer, colon cancer and gastrointestinal disorders such as reflux, duodenal ulcer, irritable bowel and diverticulitis (inflammation of abnormal pouches in the wall of the large intestine or colon), and also supporting weight loss."

Alternatively known as polysaccharides, complex carbohydrates are composed of a long as well as a complex chain of sugar or glucose molecules. These type of carbohydrates are mostly gathered from single sugar units such as glucose, galactose, fructose, and sometimes from pairs of single sugar molecules, a prime example of disaccharides a combination of lactose, sucrose, and maltose. P olysaccharide s are a combination of number of single sugar units and usually taste sweet. They are also found in both natural and refined forms of foods. Starches Since complex carbohydrates are rich in starch, they are also sometimes referred to as starches. Where are starches found? They are mostly found in plants; celluloses or fibers, which are a form of indigestible carbohydrates; and glycogens, a kind of stored form of carbohydrates that are commonly found in human beings and animals. Dextrin Also, an important type of complex carbohydrates is dextrin, which is formed as a result of fragmentation of longer chains of starches into smaller chains during the digestion process."

"text": "The Chemistry And Physiology Of Digestion3. The Chemistry And Physiology Of Digestion For food to be utilized by the body, it must first undergo a series of processes which we call digestion. After we perform the only really voluntary actions involved in the process of nutrition—putting the food into our mouths, chewing and swallowing—the balance of the digestive process is the function of the autonomic or involuntary nervous system. The changes which foods undergo are largely effected by enzyme and digestive juices. The conditions under which “such action” can occur are sharply defined, and this is the logical foundation of the food combining system. Physiologists have ascertained the details of the chemistry of digestion through long and painstaking labors. It has remained for the Natural Hygienists to make practical application of this great fund of vital knowledge. Knowledge of the physiology and chemistry of digestion can lead us all to a food program that will insure better digestion and better nutrition.3.1 Enzymes Enzymes are proteinaceous organic catalysts in all living organisms, both plant and animal. Our digestive juices contain enzymes that accelerate chemical reaction by catalytic action, without themselves being used up in the process. Digestive enzymes can be used over and over again but eventually are replaced by the body."

The cause of IBS is unknown and there is no cure, but symptoms can be managed. One way to manage IBS symptoms is by making healthy diet choices. IBS’s Link to Diet You may notice your IBS symptoms get worse after a meal. Researchers believe stomach muscles and nerves are over-responsive in IBS patients and this may cause your bowel to overact after eating. There is no direct evidence that certain foods affect some people differently, and diet is not the cause of IBS. But at least 50 percent of IBS sufferers report worsening IBS symptoms after eating and as much as 54 percent find relief when they avoid and limit certain foods from their diet, according to a 2014 report. Therefore, it is possible that avoiding certain foods may help you to manage IBS symptoms. Modifying Your Diet to Manage IBSA healthy diet alone may not improve IBS so you will need to more specific when it comes to modifying your diet. Eliminating certain drinks and foods is a start."

Complex carbohydrates, are made up of long, complex chains of sugar, and are, therefore, not digested quickly. This maintains the blood sugar levels and provides long-lasting energy. Complex carbs consist of dietary fiber and starch. Plants store energy in the form of starch, which is made up with a chain of glucose molecules.

Digested starch is stored by animal cells in the form of glycogen, which is then used by the body for carrying out various activities. Starch is mainly found in cereals, grains, vegetables, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. Following is a list of starchy veggies."

Starchy Vs Nonstarchy Vegetables Starch-Free Daily Meal Plans Starchy foods often need to be limited if you're following a low-carb diet. However, the U. S. Department of Agriculture recommends you fill one-fourth of your plate with these foods at each meal since they provide essential nutrients. Starchy foods, sometimes called complex carbohydrates, include grains, beans and legumes and starchy vegetables. Breads and Grains Foods in this group include pasta, breads, popcorn, crackers, tortillas, cereals, rice, oatmeal, barley, millet and other grains. Breads and grains provide you with fiber, B vitamins, iron, selenium and magnesium, especially if you choose the healthier whole-grain versions of these foods, which may lower your risk for heart disease and constipation and help you manage your weight. Starchy Vegetables Starchy vegetables include peas, corn, potatoes, cassava, taro, water chestnuts, plantains, green bananas and lima beans. While they shouldn't be the only vegetables you eat, these vegetables can help you meet your recommended nutrient intake for a number of nutrients, including fiber, potassium and vitamins A and C, potentially lowering your risk for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Beans and Other Legumes Beans and other legumes have the distinction of counting as both starchy foods and protein foods. These include lentils, kidney beans, black-eyed peas, chickpeas, black beans, white beans, pinto beans and any other types of dried beans."

We’ve been told we must stay away from them if we really want to lose weight—but that’s not exactly the truth. By Dana Leigh Smith November 30, 2015Share Tweet Pin Email It’s more of a half truth. While some sources of carbs (like the refined variety) can contribute to weight gain, other sources can actually help the scale tip in your favor. And one of the most powerful waist-whittlers of them all is a type of carbohydrate called resistant starch—and it’s been getting a lot of buzz recently. Resistant starch resists digestion (hence, the name) so it passes through the small intestine without being digested. This feeds healthy gut bacteria, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness and more efficient fat oxidation. In fact, one study found that replacing just 5 percent of the day’s carbohydrates with a source of resistant starch can boost post-meal fat burn by up to 30 percent! If that wasn’t impressive enough, studies also suggest that resistant starch can boost immunity, improve blood sugar control and lower cancer risk. One study found that replacing just 5% of the day’s carbohydrates with a source of resistant starch can boost post-meal fat burn by up to 30%!If weight loss is your primary goal, Cassie Bjork, RD, LD of Healthy Simple Life and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Spokesperson, Lori Zanini, RD, CDE, both suggest aiming for 20 grams of the nutrient daily.

"text": "\"Jelly Bean Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Background The jelly bean is a semi-soft candy, shaped like a bean and generally fruit flavored. Long considered a traditional Easter candy, jelly beans are also produced in seasonal colors for other holidays such as Halloween and Independence Day. Basic jelly beans (sometimes also called \"\" pectin beans\"\" because their gel-like centers are flavored with fruit pectin) come in nine colors—red, black, white, green, yellow, brown, orange, pink, and purple. Typically, the bean has the same flavor and color in both the candy center and the sugar shell. As former President Ronald Reagan's favorite candy, the jelly bean experienced something of a resurgence in the 1980s, and many \"\"designer\"\" or \"\"gourmet\"\" flavors were introduced. These newer incarnations include more exotic fruit flavors like blue-berry, pear, cantaloupe, peach, and watermelon; beverage-based flavors such as root beer, champagne, mai tai, and daiquiri; and dessert or other sweet flavors such as bubble gum, marshmallow, mint, cheesecake, and cinnamon. The names of the flavors vary with the manufacturer, and the processing may be varied as well so that the particular jelly bean flavor resembles its \"\"real world\"\" counterpart. For example, the watermelon-flavored bean has a red candy center and a green hard shell like a real watermelon, and a mixed fruit or \"\"tutti-frutti\"\" bean may have a pink center and a speckled exterior to suggest its mix of flavors. The exact origins of the jelly bean are not known, but it seems to have appeared around 1900 with other shaped candies. The jelly bean has a longer shelf life than many other confections, and its size and durability make it portable."

As an example, a white paper written by a pet food ingredient supplier of beans begins by stating:\"\"What makes pet food truly contribute to an animal's wellbeing? Healthy ingredients — ingredients whose nutrient profile supports proper digestion and body composition.\"\" 1That sounds really nice, but we're talking about beans here, which may be healthy ingredients for some humans, but for dogs and cats?

Wikipedia defines a white paper as \"\"an authoritative report or guide helping readers understand an issue, solve a problem or make a decision.\"\" 2Beans Aren't Biologically Appropriate Foods for Carnivores Pet food producers and their ingredient suppliers are aware that many pet owners tend to believe most foods that are healthy for humans are also healthy for dogs and cats.

"text": "Are beans considered protein, starches or vegetables in a balanced diet?by Fitness Contributor | May 4, 2015 | Ask Our Dietitian, Home, Nutrition, Workouts |Dear Dietician Debbie,From what I’ve seen, it is recommended that a person divide her or his plate into three parts. One part is a lean protein serving, another part a complex carb, and the biggest part is none starchy veggies, which would constitute about 2 servings of non-starchy veggies. I believe that the lean protein part could be beans in place of meat or fish. However, if a person does have a serving of lean meat or fish in the protein part, and the person had a servings of beans, could the beans then be counted as the starch part? And then, if the person had lean protein from meat or fish, and had complex carbs from brown rice in the starch part, could the beans then be in the veggie part as one serving along with one serving of non-starch veggies? Thanks! – Larry According to the USDA, beans can be either protein or vegetable. The problem with that is high load of carbohydrate when grains are also present. For weight management, blood sugar control and heart disease prevention, here’s how I’d consider beans: beans can be the protein, or the starch, or both for a double serving, but not the vegetables. The non-starchy vegetables are much lower in carbohydrate and protein than beans yet full of micronutrients and phytochemicals generally not present in the other food groups."

"text": "\"Dietary carbohydrate composition Introduction While a formal definition of a carbohydrate can be considered somewhat difficult, one commonly accepted by chemists is that carbohydrates are \"\"polyhydroxy aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, acids, their simple derivatives and their polymers having polymeric linkages of the acetal type\"\" (31). Carbohydrates are further classified according to their degree of polymerization (DP) as: sugars (mono- and disaccharides), oligosaccharides (contain three to nine monosaccharide units), and polysaccharides (contain ten or more monosaccharide units) (32). Carbohydrates play a major role in human diets, comprising some 40-75% of energy intake. Their most important nutritional property is digestibility in the small intestine. In terms of their physiological or nutritional role, they are often classified as available and unavailable carbohydrates. Available carbohydrates are those that are hydrolyzed by enzymes of the human gastrointestinal system to monosaccharides that are absorbed in the small intestine and enter the pathways of carbohydrate metabolism. Unavailable carbohydrates are not hydrolyzed by endogenous human enzymes, although they may be fermented in the large intestine to varying extents. The carbohydrates in foods of greatest importance are shown in Table 5 (32,33). Small amounts of other carbohydrates can be detected in some foods but these are of little overall significance. These include maltose, commonly formed from hydrolysis of starch and found in starch hydrolyzates used as food ingredients; galactose from fermented dairy products; and pentoses, such as xylose and arabinose, from fruits."

Although in most parts of the world they’re less popular than other bean varieties, like chickpeas or black beans, mung beans have some huge health benefits to offer!While mung beans may be new to most people in the U. S, they’ve been a part of traditional Ayurvedic diets in India for thousands of years. Mung beans are considered “one of the most cherished foods” in the ancient Indian practice that’s been a traditional form of medicine since roughly 1,500 B. C. These days, mung beans are beginning to pop up in protein powders, canned soups and in restaurant dishes state-side. So here’s what you need to know about mung beans: Mung beans are a high source of nutrients including: manganese, potassium, magnesium, folate, copper, zinc and various B vitamins. They are also a very filling food, high in protein, resistant starch and dietary fiber. You can find mung beans in dried powder form, as whole uncooked beans, “split-peeled” form (just like you’d find split green peas), as bean noodles, and also as sprouted seeds (which are the kind you’d see used on sandwiches or salads). Their dried seeds may be eaten raw, cooked (whole or split), fermented, or milled and ground into flour. Because of their high nutrient density, mung beans are considered useful in defending against several chronic, age-related diseases, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity. Clinical evidence continues to show that plant-derived foods have various potential health benefits, including lowering inflammation. Health experts recommend that plant-based foods make up a large portion of every person’s diet, and many worldwide health organizations have recommended an increase in the intake of plant-derived foods to improve health status and to prevent chronic diseases."

The first simulated the stomach and small intestine through the additions of acid and enzymes and large bowel fermentation through use of fecal inocula from dogs, and the second simulated small intestinal fermentation using canine ileal chyme as the bacterial source. All substrates were analyzed for total dietary fiber (TDF) including insoluble and soluble components, and starch fractions: rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch, resistant starch (RS) and total starch. Legumes had high TDF and RS concentrations (mean 36.5 and 24.7%, respectively), resulting in lower ileal digestible starch and total digestible starch concentrations (mean 21 and 31%, respectively). Seventy-four percent of the TS in the cereal grains group was rapidly digestible starch plus slowly digestible starch compared with the flour group, where the corresponding value was 95%. This related to the processing of cereals to flours, in which TDF and RS concentrations were reduced markedly. This increased ileal digestible starch concentrations in the flour group (65%) versus the cereal grains group (60%). Ileal digestion of starch in grain-based food products like macaroni and spaghetti was high (96 and 92%, expressed as a percentage of TS, respectively). Fermentation of substrates with ileal microflora was influenced by substrate chemical composition, with the flour group exhibiting the highest organic matter disappearance values. The legume group had a high total short-chain fatty acid concentration (7.8 mmol/g organic matter fermented), perhaps as a result of fermentation of TDF as well as starch components."

Iron absorption is increased markedly by eating foods containing vitamin C along with foods containing iron. Vegetarians do not have a higher incidence of iron deficiency than do meat eaters. Iron is an essential nutrient because it is a central part of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. Iron deficiency anemia is a worldwide health problem that is especially common in young women and in children. Iron is found in food in two forms, heme and non-heme iron. Heme iron, which makes up 40 percent of the iron in meat, poultry, and fish, is well absorbed. Non-heme iron, 60 percent of the iron in animal tissue and all the iron in plants (fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts) is less well absorbed. Because vegan diets only contain non-heme iron, vegans should be especially aware of foods that are high in iron and techniques that can promote iron absorption. Recommendations for iron for vegetarians (including vegans) may be as much as 1.8 times higher than for non-vegetarians 1."

Fogoros, MDUpdated January 05, 2018Share Pin Email Printalejandrophotography/E+/Getty Images. Black beans are a protein and fiber packed source of carbohydrate that can contribute to your daily fiber needs. This makes them a good part of a healthy diet. In general, legumes are a very important food source in vegetarian diets as well because they provide plant-based protein and are a good source of iron.

"text": "21 DIY Home Remedies for Anemia Last Updated: March 29, 2018Anemia is a nutritional deficiency caused by a lack of iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, which leads to low red blood cell count and low blood oxygen levels. Symptoms include fatigue, headache, dizziness, cold hands and feet, chest pain, memory problems, low blood pressure, and hair loss, among many others. Anemia has many causes, including loss of blood (during menstruation in women), reduced level of erythropoietin (a hormone produced by kidneys), pregnancy, poor diet, and leukemia. Certain types of anemia, including hemolytic anemia, sickle anemia, and sideroblastic anemia, are caused not by nutritional deficiencies, but by malfunctions in the body. These types require professional treatment, so check with your doctor to find out which type you have before beginning a home treatment. If you’re suffering from a simple nutritional deficiency, there are many ways you can treat your anemia at home, using safe, natural, affordable remedies. Ready to find out what they are? Let’s get started!Home Remedies for Anemia: Here are the effective natural remedies that increases the red blood cells count.1. Spinach Spinach is rich in fiber, calcium, iron, beta-carotene, and vitamins A, B9, E, and C. Boil ½ cup spinach in 1 cup water and add your favorite seasonings. This simple soup contains 3.2 mg of iron (which is 20% of the recommended daily amount for women)."

"text": "Iron can be found in both plant and animal-based foods, but most experts agree that humans absorb iron best from meat. Animal tissues contain what is known as “heme” iron, a name that derives from the blood hemoglobin that carries and creates the mineral in the first place. Iron can also be found in plant materials, particularly in nuts, seeds, and leafy greens like spinach. This sort of iron is “non-heme,” since it is not related to blood and is usually harder for humans to absorb. Red Meat So-called “red” meat, which is usually understood to be beef and other game that looks red when raw, is one of the best sources of heme iron. Muscular tissues are generally rich in red blood cells, which contain naturally high iron levels. Humans can usually absorb the mineral relatively easily, as the body breaks it down and processes it directly into the bloodstream. Animal livers are usually considered good sources, as well. One of the liver’s main functions is creating proteins, and it typically has very rich stores of readily-absorbable iron. Poultry and Eggs Heme iron can also be found in most poultry, including chicken, turkey, and duck."

Foods to avoid Weight gain Supplements Pregnant women need to ensure that their diet provides enough nutrients and energy for the baby to develop and grow properly. They also need to make sure that her body is healthy enough to deal with the changes that are occurring. For a healthy pregnancy, the mother's diet needs to be balanced and nutritious - this involves the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, and consuming a wide variety of plants like vegetables, and fruits. Some women's diets may be impacted by ethical beliefs, religious requirements, or health conditions, so checking with a doctor is an important part of planning a pregnancy diet. Fast facts on eating during pregnancy: A pregnant woman's calorie intake grows during pregnancy. She does not eat for two; her calorie consumption just goes up a few hundred calories a day for most pregnant women. Typical weight gain, if the mother is carrying just one baby, varies considerably based on pre-pregnancy weight and other factors. An underweight pregnant women is recommended to gain the most, whereas an overweight woman is recommended to gain the least. A woman's body absorbs iron more efficiently and blood volume increases when she is pregnant, so she has to consume more iron to make sure that both she and her baby have an adequate oxygen supply."

"text": "Top 10 Foods Highest in Iron + Infographic Iron is an essential mineral used to transport oxygen to all parts of the body. A slight deficiency in iron causes anemia (fatigue/weakness), and a chronic deficiency can lead to organ failure. Conversely, too much iron leads to the production of harmful free radicals, and interferes with metabolism, causing damage to organs like the heart and liver. The body is able to regulate uptake of iron, so overdose is rare and usually only occurs when people take supplements. Iron from natural food sources, like the ones listed below, are considered safe and healthy. While iron is better absorbed from heme (meat) sources, non-heme (plant) iron is better regulated causing less damage to the body. Foods high in iron include fortified cereals, beef, shellfish, dried fruit, beans, lentils, dark leafy greens, dark chocolate, quinoa, mushrooms, and squash seeds. The current daily value (DV) for iron is 18 milligrams (mg). Below is a list of high iron foods. For more high iron foods see the lists of high iron foods by nutrient density, non-heme plant-based iron foods, meat based heme-iron sources, high iron foods for vegans and vegetarians, and the list of fruits and vegetables high in iron."

"text": "The Most Alkaline-Mineral Rich Foods!Article by ross Does your diet contain sufficient levels of healthy, alkaline foods as the primary source of minerals? If not, then your body is likely to be too acidic, which is predominantly caused by a typical Western lifestyle of high stress levels, low levels of exercise and for most, an unhealthy and acidic diet. An overly acidic diet and lifestyle is one of the core causes for diseases and illnesses common in our Western world such as high blood pressure, high number of strokes, diabetes, cancer, high obesity levels, low energy levels, fatigue, poor digestion and inflammations just to name a few. In order to prevent us from such diseases and live a long and healthy life we want to aim for our body to be balanced with more alkalinity, which we can achieve by focusing on foods that alkalize our body and avoid those that acidify it. The alkaline balance of our body is determined by the levels of alkaline minerals, which we can take in through a high consumption of mineral rich foods and secondly through the intake of mineral supplements. In fact, according to research undertaken at the University Hospital of Freiburg and reported in the Journal of Nutrition, alkaline mineral supplementation definitely does have a positive effect on the p H balance of the body. In the following article we are going to look at what the primary alkaline minerals are, what their functions are, why they are so important for a p H balanced body and therefore good health, and give a detailed overview of foods with the highest concentration of these important alkaline minerals!What are the Primary Alkaline Minerals? The primary minerals which are responsible for creating an alkaline state in our body are Calcium Magnesium Potassium Manganese Iron Why are they Alkaline Forming and therefore so important for our Health and Wellbeing? In order for us to become, and then to stay healthy and fit our body needs to stay in balance. If our body gets out of balance, it cannot work at its most efficient level and the common result is that we increasingly suffer from diseases and illnesses like fatigue, diabetes, heart disease, excess weight, etc."

You will see some familiar animal foods on our list of iron sources below. While this is true, it is also true that a number of plant foods are also rich in iron. It may come as a surprise that researchers have found that people eating plant-based diets eat as much or more iron as people who regularly rely on animal foods. And, you'll see that our list of excellent iron sources is largely dominated by plant foods. Without question, more human health problems worldwide are caused by iron deficiency than by lack of any other nutrient. Less well known is the fact that excessive iron stores are also responsible for a large burden of illness worldwide. As such, iron is a very important nutrient to understand not only for researchers and nutritionists but everyone, since we need to be aware of finding the right iron balance from our foods. Five of the World's Healthiest Foods rank as excellent sources of iron and nine foods rank as very good sources."

"text": "Living With Phytic Acid March 26, 2010 By Ramiel Nagel 253 Comments Phytic acid is one of a number of “anti-nutrients” in grains and legumes. For an introduction to this subject, please see this article. Proper preparation of whole grains will neutralize a large portion of these problematic compounds. Studies on phytic acid reveal that for some people, the phytic acid in whole grains blocks calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron and copper; others seem immune to these adverse consequences, probably because of favorable gut flora, which in some cases can break down phytic acid. In addition, when animal fats providing vitamins A and D accompany dietary whole grains, the effects of phytic acid are mitigated. The author of the following article found that eliminating phytic acid in his diet and the diet of his family helped reverse serious tooth decay; not everyone will need to take such drastic steps. However, proper preparation of whole grains is a good idea for everyone as it is a practice found almost universally among nonindustrialized peoples. Preparing Grains, Nuts, Seeds and Beans for Maximum Nutrition Phytic acid in grains, nuts, seeds and beans represents a serious problem in our diets. This problem exists because we have lost touch with our ancestral heritage of food preparation. Instead we listen to food gurus and ivory tower theorists who promote the consumption of raw and unprocessed “whole foods;” or, we eat a lot of high-phytate foods like commercial whole wheat bread and all-bran breakfast cereals."

These heart-healthy nutrients help lower cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, and they can reduce your risk of coronary artery disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Soluble fiber, in particular, keeps you feeling fuller for longer, so it’s a good tool for weight loss. Many studies suggest that folate can improve mood and memory.

"text": "Do Beans Count as Carbs or Protein in a Diabetic Diet?by JESSICA BRUSO Oct. 03, 2017Beans, unlike most vegetables, contain a lot of protein and are sometimes used as a vegetarian protein source. They are also a significant source of carbohydrates, however, which can make it confusing to figure out how to count them if you are following a diabetes diet. You'll need to take into account the carbohydrate content whichever way you decide to use your beans. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Beans as a Protein Food The American Diabetes Association recommends beans as one of the best protein sources since they are low in fat and calories and high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. A 1/2-cup serving of chickpeas provides 7.3 grams of protein, 1/2 cup of kidney beans provides 8.1 grams and the same amount of lentils provides 9 grams. The ADA recommends eating beans as your protein source at least a few meals per week. Beans as a Carbohydrate Source Beans contain a lot of starch and fiber, so they are often classified as starchy vegetables. For example, 1/2 cup of lentils or kidney beans has about 20 grams of carbohydrates, including approximately 8 grams of fiber, and 1/2 cup of chickpeas has 22.5 grams of carbohydrates, including 6.3 grams of fiber. For a diabetic, this would be about 1 1/2 15-gram carbohydrate servings. Counting on a Diabetes Diet The U. S. Department of Agriculture recommends counting beans as a protein if you haven't already met your recommended protein servings with other foods and counting any remaining servings of beans you eat as part of your vegetable servings."

As an example, a white paper written by a pet food ingredient supplier of beans begins by stating:\"\"What makes pet food truly contribute to an animal's wellbeing?

Wikipedia defines a white paper as \"\"an authoritative report or guide helping readers understand an issue, solve a problem or make a decision.\"\" 2Beans Aren't Biologically Appropriate Foods for Carnivores Pet food producers and their ingredient suppliers are aware that many pet owners tend to believe most foods that are healthy for humans are also healthy for dogs and cats.

You may have heard or read about something called resistant starch and how it may help you lose weight. Not too long ago a well-known Japanese opera star went on television stating that she had lost 15 lbs eating a resistant starch-containing banana every morning. Since then, the “Morning Banana” diet took off as well as other variations of diets that make use of foods that contain resistant starches. Let me tell you more about them. Can Resistant Starch Help You Lose Weight? Certain fruits and vegetables, some grains, etc, naturally contain resistant starch which your body cannot process completely. Researchers found that most of the carbohydrates from resistant starch containing foods become blocked and wind up passing out of your body unabsorbed. In their path, resistant starches can also absorb saturated fats [ Resistant starch consumption promotes lipid oxidation, Janine Higgins, Nutrition &Metabolism, 2008], and escort them out of your body as well. As a result, you take in fewer calories and your weight decreases. In addition, they can help improve your colon health as these foods are high in fiber content and can sweep impurities from your colon."

Black beans are a protein and fiber packed source of carbohydrate that can contribute to your daily fiber needs. This makes them a good part of a healthy diet.

These foods are grouped together, because the majority of the calories they contain come from protein and/or fat. Cooked beans, peas, and lentils also are in this group because of the protein that they contain, but are also considered starchy vegetables because of their carbohydrate content. While some meat substitutes and cheeses may contain small amounts of carbohydrate, the main macronutrients in these foods are protein and fat. Nuts are also often placed in this group because nuts contain some protein, but they are also high in fat. Protein is very important in our daily diet. We need protein to maintain muscles, make enzymes, and keep our immune system working well. However, items in this group can be high in calories. Also, meat, eggs, and cheeses in particular can be high in saturated fat and cholesterol.

Get a copy of The Starch Solution for more information on the scientific studies behind the recommendations and also recipes The reasoning behind The Starch Solution This book argues that humans are naturally “starchivores” who thrive on a starch-centered diet. Protein (in excess), fat, dietary cholesterol, methionine (in meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and cheese), and dietary acid (in animal foods) are toxic, and starch is the path to detoxification and spontaneous healing.

While many refined carbs break down quickly in your body—causing you to accumulate belly fat and leaving you hungry all the time —if you choose the right starchy foods, it turns out they can actually help you trim down and finally tip that scale in your favor. We're talking about resistant starches, one of the most powerful waist-whittlers of them all. This class of carb acts in a similar way that soluble fibers do. By just looking at the name, we can glean what's going on in your gut: these carbs actually resist digestion, passing through your gut without being broken down, leading to prolonged feelings of fullness. Instead of feeding you, these resistant starches fuel the healthy gut bacteria in our small intestine, which ferment the fuel into butyrate, a fatty acid that encourages the body to burn fat as fuel instead of glucose. Higher levels of butyrate reduce inflammation in your body and help reduce insulin resistance as well. Less inflammation means less bloating and a slimmer you. On top of encouraging more efficient fat oxidation, studies also suggest that resistant starch can boost immunity, improve blood sugar control, and lower cancer risk. And that's not all—resistant starches may also play a role in controlling your hunger hormones."

"text": "Post written by Leo Babauta. If I could make a single dietary recommendation to people looking to get healthier, it would be to move to a plant-based diet. Eating plants has been the best change I’ve made in my diet — and I’ve made a bunch of them, from intermittent fasting to low-carb experiments to eating 6 meals a day to eating almost all protein to eliminating sugar (all at various times). Plants have made me slimmer, healthier, stronger, more energetic — and have increased my life expectancy (more on all this below). Of course, the diet is simple, but moving away from the Standard American Diet to a plant-based one isn’t always so simple for most people. Changing your diet can be difficult, but in this guide I’ll share a bit about how to change, talk a bit about why, and what you might eat. What’s a Plant-Based Diet? The simple answer, of course, is that you eat plants. You eliminate animals and (eventually) animal products like dairy and eggs. The less simple answer is there is an abundance of plant foods that most people never eat, and eating a plant-based diet means you might widen the variety of foods you eat."

So when I talk about nutrients like protein or carbohydrates, I always try to include examples of actual foods. For example, in my article on the benefits of protein, I suggested that protein foods such as eggs, meat, fish, soy, peanuts, and other legumes are great for controlling your appetite because they keep you satisfied for longer. I’ve also talked about out the importance of portion control when eating starches such as bread, pasta, rice, and other grains .

By inhibiting their digestion, starches that are eaten are either left undigested in the gut or the amount of which is digested is reduced. These starches are either excreted and their calories not absorbed, or they are given to colonic bacteria to ferment (eat). When given to people who are not otherwise on a diet (during their highest carb containing meal), white kidney bean extract is able to reduce body weight and body fat levels similar to simple caloric restriction.

The Chemistry And Physiology Of Digestion For food to be utilized by the body, it must first undergo a series of processes which we call digestion. After we perform the only really voluntary actions involved in the process of nutrition—putting the food into our mouths, chewing and swallowing—the balance of the digestive process is the function of the autonomic or involuntary nervous system. The changes which foods undergo are largely effected by enzyme and digestive juices. The conditions under which “such action” can occur are sharply defined, and this is the logical foundation of the food combining system. Physiologists have ascertained the details of the chemistry of digestion through long and painstaking labors. It has remained for the Natural Hygienists to make practical application of this great fund of vital knowledge. Knowledge of the physiology and chemistry of digestion can lead us all to a food program that will insure better digestion and better nutrition.3.1 Enzymes Enzymes are proteinaceous organic catalysts in all living organisms, both plant and animal. Our digestive juices contain enzymes that accelerate chemical reaction by catalytic action, without themselves being used up in the process. Digestive enzymes can be used over and over again but eventually are replaced by the body."

The surgery for a beard transplant takes a full day to complete and can cost up to several thousand dollars. This medical procedure is consistently growing in popularity, because of beards and facial hair becoming a popular trend in American culture. The surgery for a facial hair transplant is a “relatively safe” procedure that is quite expensive. Men are spending about “as much as $7,000 to pump their beards” for this modern medical method. Different options for these transplants are available for patients with different amounts of facial hair. They can be as simple as a procedure of “filling in a few gaps,” or they can be as major as a “complete beard construction.” Many prior patients tended to have some facial hair, but they choose to receive the procedure that provided them with a complete beard. This new option of offering facial hair transplants to beard-envious men is not simple process, however, and one doctor referred to the procedure as being “very meticulous.” Complete hair strands from a patient’s “bottom of the back of the head” are removed, as they are then used as the new facial hairs."

Perennials that bloom in the spring - astilbe, peonies, bearded iris, bleeding heart and others - can easily be divided and moved in late summer or fall. Those that have begun to show signs of entering dormancy - browning foliage - can also be moved in early fall. Wait until early spring to transplant fall bloomers like coneflowers, rudbeckia, asters and sedum.

There are a number of flowers that look similar to orchids, however, that can be grown instead. Aztec Lily The Aztec lily (Sprekelia formosissima) is a perennial member of the amaryllis family native to Mexico and Guatemala. The plant is commonly called an \"\"orchid lily\"\" because of its waxy, orchid-like flowers, which have a similar petal formation to an orchid. The plant grows best in full sunlight in USDA Zones 8 to 11. Aztec lilies grow naturally in rocky soils, so be sure to plant the lily in soil that is extremely well drained. Water the plant frequently during the growing season and withhold water during winter.

"text": "Home »Produce How to Transplant Iris Bulbs By Nannette Richford; Updated September 21, 2017Transplanting iris bulbs not only increases the size of your iris bed, it revitalizes old iris plants as well. After several years of growing in the same location, rhizomes multiply and roots begin to crowd, reducing bloom size and producing pale blooms. Bigger, brighter blooms will reward an afternoon’s work of digging and transplanting the bulbs the following year. Prepare a new location for iris in a sunny location. Till the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches. Remove rocks or roots and amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure. Work amendments into the existing soil. Dig iris bulbs once the foliage begin to die back in late summer. Although gardeners commonly refer to these as bulbs, many common irises actually produce rhizomes, a thickened root with roots along the bottom and sides of the tuber. Rhizomes grow near the surface of the soil and produce new rhizomes each year."

"text": "Transplanting Iris Bulbs The correct method for transplanting iris bulbs depends on the type of iris involved. There are two broad divisions known as bulbous and rhizomatous. The bulbous type, as its name suggests, grow from bulbs and comprise most of the English and Dutch iris varieties. On the other hand the rhizomatous type have rhizomes which are horizontally growing underground stems that are used as food storage for the plant. The common bearded iris falls into this group as well as the beardless Siberian and Japanese iris. The bulbous irises can be transplanted when the foliage has wilted after flowering. Before transplanting iris bulbs prepare the ground thoroughly by digging and forking in some compost or other organic material together with some general fertilizer. The rhizomatous irises are best transplanted in late summer from July to the end of September. This type tends to grow into a large clump and after three or four years produce less flowers. The clump will need to be divided at this time and replanted."

Baby Bearded Dragon Diet When a bearded dragon is young it will need to eat more insects than vegetables because it's still growing. You should always leave fresh vegetables in the cage, but three times per day you should feed your beardie insects. You should give them as many insects as they can eat within a 10-15 minute time period. After the feeding time is done, you should take the remaining insects out of their tank."

The pouch resembles a beard, lending the animal their name.

They should also have access to a cooler area across the tank from the basking spot, and this is called the \"\"cool side\"\". The cool side should be 70-85 degrees F. or 21-30 C. for all ages. You can experiment with the wattages of the basking light till you find one that produces the correct temp gradient.

Sommella With so many colors, traits and patterns to choose from, it’s easy to see why a single bearded dragon ( Pogona vitticeps) quickly leads to a collection. These medium-sized lizards are easy to care for, personable and often bond with their keepers. Keep Them Separated Even if you purchase a sexed bearded dragon, re-sex it as it grows. Some males drop hemipenes later than others, so they can be mistaken for females early on. Male bearded dragons typically measure 18 to 23 inches long, and females measure 17 to 21 inches. Bearded dragons have many morphs, including red-orange (top) and super citrus (bottom). Never place male bearded dragons together; they can injure or even kill one another. They pace the cage and puff out their “beards,” which turn black during a dominance display. Face cages in the same direction, and use a sheet between racks to calm excitable males. Female bearded dragons exposed to males too early may produce a clutch of infertile eggs."

Bearded dragons are one of the most popular pet reptiles you can find. Most of them are very calm and get used to you quickly. Adult bearded dragons should eat vedgetables most of the time and only 2 or 3 times crickets for example, which makes them even more appealing for people who do not have a thing for crawlies. However bearded dragons might be very popular, but you can´t just set up a small tank for them and forget about it. There are a lot of preparations to make and there is a lot to know about bearded dragons before you actually buy one. How big will your beardie get? So this is the actual question in this post: How big will your beardie get?"

Pogona is a genus of reptiles containing nine lizard species , (according to some sources, but some others say eight) which are often known by the common namebearded dragons. The name \"\"bearded dragon\"\" refers to the \"\"beard\"\" of the dragon, the underside of the throat which can turn black if they are stressed or see a potential rival. They are adept climbers, spending significant amounts of time on branches and in bushes and near human habitation. Pogona species bask on rocks and exposed branches in the mornings and afternoons. They are found throughout much of Australia in a wide range of habitats such as deserts, shrublands and Eucalyptus woodlands.

As the health of your bearded dragon is your number one priority, it is worth getting the vivarium and environment set up perfectly to ensure the transition period for your dragon is as easy as it can be. Below is all of the information you need to set up your vivarium. Vivarium size | Vivarium Material Vivarium Heating | Thermostats | Night temperatures | Heatmats | Bulb Choice Vivarium Lighting Vivarium Substrate Vivarium Decorations Vivarium Size Your enclosure should be a minimum of 4 ft (48 inches) in length, some leaflets or pet stores may say a juvenile bearded dragon may feel lost in a 4 ft vivarium, this is completely incorrect, when they are born in the wild they are not restricted to only 4 ft of rocky outback. As a rule of thumb, the more space you can give your bearded dragon the better, 4 ft is a minimum for an adult dragon. A vivarium of 4ft x 2ft x 2ft seems to be a good size as it is also more easy to set up the temperature gradient correctly which is key for your bearded dragons as they need to 'thermoregulate'; which is to control their body temperature throughout the day when temperatures may vary greatly. Providing natural thermoregulation is important for bearded dragons in the heating section below. Don't bother with a 3 ft vivarium, go straight to 4 ft or more, by doing this you avoid having to re-drill all the light fixtures and fittings, and purchase larger UVB bulbs to span the tank. Most bearded dragon owners tend to buy a 48\"\" x 24\"\" x 24\"\" vivarium, like the one pictured below. Should I get a tall vivarium?"

The pet dragons need the warmth and shaded area to move around for regulating their body temperature. This can achieved by setting the reptile heating accessories correctly. Bearded dragon cage heating gradient can be setup easily by placing the heating equipments at one end of the enclosure. This can create a nice warm and cool side at each end of the cage. The adult dragon even needs a better heat gradient, which can be achieved using bigger vivarium. Many bearded dragon owners like to place the basking light on top of the screen top, at the middle of the cage to create a nice basking spot, especially when you look at it at night. However, this is not the best solution."

There is a full blown bed bug epidemic happening all across America and it just seems to get worse with each passing year. For cities such as New York and Philadelphia which are at the epicenter of the outbreak, bed bugs have become an important political issue. Once bed bugs become entrenched in an area, virtually everyone is thinking about them. Bed bugs will not kill you, but they can drive you insane. Anyone that has ever had big, red welts all over their bodies from bed bug bites knows how terribly frustrating bed bugs can be. They can be incredibly difficult to get rid of.

"text": "Print Overview Bedbug Bedbugs are small, reddish-brown parasitic insects that bite the exposed skin of sleeping humans and animals to feed on their blood. Although bedbugs aren't known to spread disease, they can cause other public health and economic issues. About the size of an apple seed, bedbugs hide in the cracks and crevices of beds, box springs, headboards, bed frames and any other objects around a bed. The risk of encountering bedbugs increases if you spend time in places with high turnovers of nighttime guests — such as hotels, hospitals or homeless shelters. If you have bedbugs in your home, professional extermination is recommended. Symptoms Bedbug bites It can be difficult to distinguish bedbug bites from other insect bites or rashes. In general, the sites of bedbug bites usually are: Red, often with a darker red spot in the middle Itchy Arranged in a rough line or in a cluster Located on the face, neck, arms and hands Some people have no reaction to bedbug bites, while others experience an allergic reaction that can include severe itching, blisters or hives. When to see a doctor If you experience allergic reactions or severe skin reactions to bedbug bites, see your doctor for professional treatment. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Bedbug infestations may be linked to: Increased international travel Changes in pest control practices Insecticide resistance Where do they hide? Bedbug infestations usually occur around or near where people sleep."

"text": "\"Insect bitesbackground In general, biting insects themselves are not dangerous because allergic reactions are rare. However, many insects (like mosquitoes and ticks) can transmit diseases like malaria, Lyme disease, and the West Nile virus to humans. This is because many insects inject their saliva into the host when they bite. While insect's saliva may aid in digestion, inhibit clotting, increase blood flow to the area bitten or anesthetize (numb) the bite site, it may also contain disease-causing organisms. The mouthparts of biting insects can be classified into three groups: piercing and/or sucking, sponging, and biting/chewing. Most insect bites cause minor puncture wounds to the skin. Deaths associated with insect bites are typically a result of hypersensitivity, either anaphylactic (allergic) or anaphylactoid (non-allergic) or from complications resulting from infection. While the exact incidence rate remains unknown, researchers estimate that between 50 and 150 Americans die each year from insect-provoked anaphylaxis. Mosquito bites cause the greatest number of deaths worldwide because they transmit diseases like malaria and the West Nile virus. Malaria is prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas, such as Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Central America."

"text": "It is important to understand that the variables involved in the development of a bite response are vast and many. Therefore it is really not possible to diagnose an infestation of bedbugs from bite symptoms / morphology alone. This document aims to outline a few of the variables that have been seen in recent years. It must also be stressed that not every bite you have will defiantly be from a bedbug, if you get a single lone bite and nothing for months and months it may just be a something unrelated to bedbugs. Although they might be your most obvious symptoms they are the worst diagnostic tool you can focus on. Common myths The most common myth with bedbugs is that they always produce 3 bites in a row, often called breakfast, dinner and lunch. While this does occur with some people it is not the case with all people who respond and is therefore not an accurate diagnostic of bedbug activity. Other insects which are known to often bite in rows include fleas. Bedbugs also feed every 3 – 7 days so if you go longer than this between activity it is a reasonable indication that bedbugs may not be the cause. Some people assume that because bedbugs can go long periods of time without feeding that they will do so in an occupied room, this is not the case and when food is available bedbugs will always take the opportunity to feed."

The most common type of bedbug that bites human is the Cimex Lectularius . It is found in North America, Europe and Central Asia. They are not known to transmit any diseases to humans. Bedbugs infestations were common in the United States before WWII. As cleanliness improved, and with the use of DDT in the 1940's and 1950's, the bugs almost disappeared.

Cilantro is grown in California. Cilantro is traditionally used in Middle Eastern, Mexican, and Asian cooking. Cilantro's taste is a fragrant mix of parsley and citrus. Coriander is probably one of the first herbs to be used by mankind, perhaps going back as far back as 5000 BC. It is mentioned in early Sanskrit writings dating from about 1500 BC.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from The Black Death)navigation search For other uses, see Black Death (disambiguation). Spread of the Black Death in Europe and the Near East (1346–1353). The Black Death, also known as the Great Plague or simply Plague, or less commonly as the Black Plague, was one of the most devastating pandemics in human history, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 75 to 200 million people in Eurasia and peaking in Europe from 1347 to 1351. [ 1] [2] [3] The bacterium Yersinia pestis, which results in several forms of plague, is believed to have been the cause. [ 4] The plague created a series of religious, social, and economic upheavals, which had profound effects on the course of European history. The Black Death is thought to have originated in the dry plains of Central Asia, where it then travelled along the Silk Road, reaching Crimea by 1343. [ 5] From there, it was most likely carried by Oriental rat fleas living on the black rats that were regular passengers on merchant ships, spreading throughout the Mediterranean and Europe. The Black Death is estimated to have killed 30–60% of Europe's total population. [ 6] In total, the plague may have reduced the world population from an estimated 450 million down to 350–375 million in the 14th century. [ 7] It took 200 years for the world population to recover to its previous level. ["

Bedbugs do not fly. Bedbugs are pests that can live anywhere in the home. They can live in cracks in furniture or in any type of textile, including upholstered furniture. They are most common in beds, including the mattress, box springs, and bed frames. Bedbugs are most active at night. They may bite any exposed areas of skin while an individual is sleeping. Common locations for bedbug bites are the face, neck, hands, and arms. A bedbug bite is painless and is generally not noticed."

More of a nuisance than a health hazard, they’re showing up to suck blood from people in hotels, college dorms, and hospitals. Take an informative look at bedbugs: what they are, where they lurk, and how to spot them before they get you. Swipe to advance1 / 10Know the Enemy Bedbugs are small, flat, wingless insects with six legs that, like mosquitoes, feed on blood from animals or people. They range in color from almost white to brown, but they turn rusty red after feeding. The common bedbug doesn't grow much longer than 0.2 inches (0.5 centimeters) and can be seen by the naked eye to the astute observer. Bedbugs get their name because they like to hide in bedding and mattresses. Swipe to advance1 / 10Am I at Risk for Infestation? Bedbugs are most often found in hotels, hostels, shelters, and apartment complexes where lots of people come and go. Because bedbugs hide in small crevices, they can hitch a ride into your home on luggage, pets, furniture, clothing, boxes, and other objects."

Is Exploding By IBT Staff Reporter On 05/13/11 AT 4:53 PMThe United States is currently experiencing a nightmarish epidemic of disgusting blood sucking parasites. There is a full blown bed bug epidemic happening all across America and it just seems to get worse with each passing year. For cities such as New York and Philadelphia which are at the epicenter of the outbreak, bed bugs have become an important political issue. Once bed bugs become entrenched in an area, virtually everyone is thinking about them. Bed bugs will not kill you, but they can drive you insane. Anyone that has ever had big, red welts all over their bodies from bed bug bites knows how terribly frustrating bed bugs can be. They can be incredibly difficult to get rid of. So why am I talking about bed bugs when there are hundreds of other important economic issues to talk about right now? Well, this is just another example of how our country seems to be cursed. Even the simplest things seem to become major problems for us these days."

Looking back, I probably should have stayed in the old apartment, just to prove that I can defeat the bedbugs, and to make my strategy more convincing. But the place had cracks everywhere and would have taken too much effort to seal them all, and I had two infestations to take care of at the same time, a damaged ceiling to repair, a scratched car to fix (I was thinking about how to fight the bedbugs while I was driving). I was physically and mentally exhausted and just wanted to get out. However, my parents did stay and the battle there is still going on. Back to the main topic. Suppose you accidentally brought home two bedbugs, one male and one female, how fast can they multiply with unlimited blood meals? Without using complicated mathematics, the result can be obtained easily with spreadsheet. There are different data on bedbug's life cycle on the Internet. I tried to use the average and made the following assumptions: - sex ratio is 1:1- 10 months of life span- eggs hatch in 10 days- nympal development time is 60 days- female lay 4 eggs per dayclick the image to enlarge Based on these assumptions, the spreadsheet was then setup and a graph was plotted, which contained three periods: Period I: from day 1 to day 10, eggs are laid daily, number of bedbugs remains constant at 2."

[ 1] The earliest credible evidence of smallpox is found in the Egyptian mummies of people who died some 3000 years ago. [ 2] Smallpox has had a major impact on world history, not least because indigenous populations of regions where smallpox was non-native, such as the Americas and Australia, were rapidly decimated and weakened by smallpox (along with other introduced diseases) during periods of initial foreign contact, which helped pave the way for conquest and colonization. During the 18th century the disease killed an estimated 400,000 Europeans each year, including five reigning monarchs, and was responsible for a third of all blindness. [ 3] Between 20 and 60% of all those infected—and over 80% of infected children—died from the disease. [ 4]During the 20th century, it is estimated that smallpox was responsible for 300–500 million deaths. [ 5] [6] [7] In the early 1950s an estimated 50 million cases of smallpox occurred in the world each year. [ 8] As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year. [ 8] After successful vaccination campaigns throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the WHO certified the global eradication of smallpox in December 1979. [ 8] Smallpox is one of two infectious diseases to have been eradicated, the other being rinderpest, which was declared eradicated in 2011. ["

How about the beer itself? You know, that yummy spittle-filled quarter inch that gets rinsed out with the glass? Instead of pouring it down the drain, waste beer can be recycled into animal food or used as a natural fertilizer.

Even, we’ll admit to daydreaming, joining those guys who pick bottles and cans out of your apartment trash every morning. Fresh air! Exercise! The thrill of the hunt! Maybe it’s a little messy, but we had to look at dead bodies at our last newspaper job, and you can’t turn corpses into nickels. Walking to work one day, the two of us wondered whether those humble trash pickers are really laughing their way back to Mc Mansions in Jersey. So we decided to find out for ourselves. Armed with the only granny cart we could find, a handful of empty trash bags and a few hours to kill, we hit the streets of Boerum Hill at 11 a.m. on a hot Thursday in September."

There’s PET (or PETE because one ambiguous code isn’t hassle enough), HDPE, PVC, PP and several more symbols to decipher. I feel like I need a super secret agent decoder ring to figure out what each one means. And, of course, although some of these can be recycled at home, some of them need to be taken to a recycling center. Let me see if I can help you navigate some of this madness.

Recycling also uses less energy and and great way of controlling air, water and land pollution. Effective recycling starts with household (or the place where the waste was created). In many serious countries, the authorities help households with bin bags with labels on them. Households then sort out the waste themselves and place them in the right bags for collection. This makes the work less difficult. Waste items that are usually recycled include: Paper waste: Paper waste items include books, newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes and envelopes.

Recycling is incorporated into the waste management systems of most every town in the U. S., and what can be recycled has expanded due to changes in technology and marketing. Justine Fallon of the Massachusetts Dept. of Environmental Protection said that even within the last year, changes have occurred. “ Aerosols used to be a safety issue (for workers). Some of the procedures in how the materials are baled now have brought about less concern,” said Fallon. It is always a good idea to check with your local department of public works regarding what can be recycled where you live.

Special grades are offered with the required properties for the different applications. PET is linear thermoplastic (long-chain molecule consists of repeating units shown as figure right), white but bluish resin made from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol through poly-condensation. PET is supplied by the resin manufacturers in the form of small pellets, each about 0.05 gram. PET came into prominence in the 1950s as a textile material. Its strength, temperature tolerance and wear-resistance made it an ideal replacement for, or addition to natural fibers such as silk, cotton and wool. It has good antiosmosis, low water absorbability and good toughness. PET film's tensile strength is similar with aluminum film's, and is three times that of PC and PA film. PET film is transparent. It's tensile strength can reach 1/3~1/2 of steel's if dealed by oriented draw."

After spending several years in the tobacco business working for his uncle, R. S. Reynolds borrowed $100,000 and in 1919 he purchased a small, one-story building in Louisville, Kentucky, and founded the United States Foil Company (U. S. Foil). The increased demand for foil was the result of the ever-increasing public appetite for cigarettes, the demand for which was so great that it created constant shortages of foil used for packaging."

"text": "\"Today’s Alcoa is built on a foundation of operating excellence dating back nearly 130 years to the world-changing discovery that made aluminum an affordable and vital part of modern life. As the inventor of the aluminum industry, we have followed on with breakthrough after breakthrough in best practices that lead to efficiency, safety, sustainability and stronger communities wherever we operate. It’s a legacy we’re proud of, and one that will drive us to achieve new goals as we look ahead. July 9, 1886Charles Martin Hall discovers the smelting process. Working with his sister Julia in a shed attached to the family home in Oberlin, Ohio, chemistry student Charles Martin Hall discovers a way to produce aluminum through electrolysis that drastically reduces its cost. Hall patents his process and an industry is born around the light, strong metal. Around the same time, the same process is discovered by chemist Paul T. Héroult of France, and it comes to be known as the Hall-Héroult Process. Today, the Hall-Héroult Process is the one method by which every aluminum producer in the world operates. October 1, 1888The Pittsburgh Reduction Company In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Alcoa founder Charles Martin Hall finds experienced, hard-working visionary backers (led by Captain Alfred E. Hunt) for his aluminum reduction (electrolysis) discovery. The company is first incorporated as The Pittsburgh Reduction Company and opens a pilot production facility on Smallman Street."

"text": "Waste Recycling Problem · The average restaurant produces 100,000 pounds of garbage per year. Solution · Recycle all materials that are commercially accepted in your area · Adjust purchasing policies to decrease the amount of waste In 2009, we generated 243.0 million tons of waste in the United States. That can be translated to 4.59 pounds of waste per day per person. Also in 2009, America recycled roughly 33.8% of solid waste from homes and businesses, the rest being incinerated or tossed into landfills (70). Typically, close to 95% of restaurants’ waste could be recycled or composted. When restaurants choose not to recycle, there are a number of consequences: · Overcrowded landfills · Land, water and groundwater pollution · Air pollution from incinerators · Long-term economic losses through unsustainable resource use Recycling not only diverts waste from landfills and incinerators, but also supplies material for post-consumer recycled products. Recycling saves natural resources, energy, pollution, and money. In the years 2001-2002, a medium-sized Certified Green Restaurant® in San Diego saved $2220 per year after implementing a comprehensive recycling program. Most recently, Kimpton’s restaurant recycling programs carried out in 43 locations save more than $86,000/year and more than 10,000 trees (69.5). Examples of items that can be recycled versus thrown away include: Paper - Cardboard, office & menu paper, etc."

"text": "Food A tasting of nine “natural” root beers yields surprising results By Lou Bendrick on Jul 15, 2009Share Tweet Nothing hits the spot on a hot day like an icy glass of all-American root beer. ( Okay, if you want to split hairs: Nothing hits the spot on a hot day like an icy glass of all-American root beer when you must stay sober .) The problem is that when you take your wilting self to the cool respite of the beverage aisle, you discover that nothing in this life is simple. Perhaps, like me, you go with the simple criterion of avoiding anything produced by Big Soda and loaded with high-fructose corn syrup. Ha! If only it were this straightforward. What started as a handcrafted, medicinal-tasting beverage devolved during the last century into a mass-produced cloying shadow of its former self. The good news is that root beer, like Mickey Rourke, is making a comeback, and the results can be kinda wild. Today, your beverage aisle might showcase retro, handcrafted “root sodas” with exotic spices, certified organic root beers, a green-tea root beer, and a diet root beer spiked with an eco-sounding plant-based sweetener. You might even be able to find a local root beer with an ostensibly lighter carbon footprint."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Bottle deposit\"\" redirects here. For the Seinfeld episode, see The Bottle Deposit. Refillable glass bottles collected, and deposits refunded, at a collection point in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Deposit values (from 50 tyiyn to 2 Kyrgyz som, i.e. 2–5 U. S. cents) for various bottle types are posted next to the sample bottles on a rack. Container-deposit legislation (also known as a deposit-refund system, bottle bill, or deposit-return system) is any law that requires the collection of a monetary deposit on beverage containers (refillable or non-refillable) at the point of sale. When the container is returned to an authorized redemption center, or retailer in some jurisdictions, the deposit is partly or fully refunded to the redeemer (presumed to be the original purchaser). It is a deposit-refund system. Governments may pass container deposit legislation for several reasons, including, for example: To encourage recycling and complement existing curbside recycling programs, to reduce energy and material usage for containers To specifically reduce beverage container litter along highways, in lakes and rivers, and on other public or private properties (where beverage container litter occurs, a nominal deposit provides an economic incentive to clean it up; this is a significant source of income to some poor individuals and non-profit civic organizations)To extend the usable lifetime of taxpayer-funded landfills Deposits that are not redeemed are often kept by distributors or bottlers to cover the costs of the system (including handling fees paid to retailers or redemption enters to collect, sort, and handle the containers) or are escheated to the governmental entity involved to fund environmental programs.

"text": "\"Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are organic compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which include starches, cellulose, and sugars. Carbohydrates are the most abundant class of organic compounds found in living organisms. They originate as products of photosynthesis, an endothermic reductive condensation of carbon dioxide requiring light energy and the pigment chlorophyll. Carbohydrates consist of starch, sugars and some related substances such as sugar alcohols and organic acids. Carbohydrates are carbon compounds that contain large quantities of hydroxyl groups. The simplest carbohydrates also contain either an aldehyde moiety (polyhydroxyaldehydes) or a ketone moiety (polyhydroxyketones). All carbohydrates can be classified as either monosaccharides, oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are chemical compounds that act as the primary biological means of storing or consuming energy, other forms being fat and protein. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for all body functions and are necessary for the assimilation of other nutrients. The primary function of carbohydrates is for short-term energy storage."

"text": "Inorganic nutrients A number of inorganic elements ( minerals) are essential for the growth of living things. Boron, for example, has been demonstrated to be required for the growth of many—perhaps all—higher plants but has not been implicated as an essential element in the nutrition of either microorganisms or animals. Trace amounts of fluorine (as fluoride) are certainly beneficial, and perhaps essential, for proper tooth formation in higher animals. Similarly, iodine (as iodide) is required in animals for formation of thyroxine, the active component of an important regulatory hormone. Silicon (as silicate) is a prominent component of the outer skeletons of diatomaceous protozoans and similar organisms and is required in them for normal growth. In higher animals the requirement for silicon is much smaller. A less obvious example of a specialized mineral requirement is provided by calcium, which is required by higher animals in comparatively large amounts because it is a major component of bone and eggshells (in birds); for other organisms, calcium is an essential nutrient but only as a trace element. Mineral elements in wide variety are present in trace amounts in almost all foodstuffs. It cannot be assumed that the nonessential mineral elements play no useful role in metabolism. Important antagonistic relationships between certain mineral nutrients also are known."

"text": "Share Tweet Post Macronutrients Table of Contents Definition Purpose Description Precautions Interactions Aftercare Complications Parental concerns Resources Definition Nutrients are substances needed for growth, metabolism, and for other body functions. Macronutrients are nutrients that provide calories or energy. The prefix makro is from the Greek and means big or large, used because macronutrients are required in large amounts. There are three broad classes of macro-nutrients: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Purpose The main function of macronutrients is to provide energy, counted as calories. While each of the macronutrients provides calories, the amount provided by each varies. Carbohydrate provides four calories per gram, protein also four while fat provides nine. For example, if the Nutrition Facts label of a given food indicates 12 g of carbohydrate, 2 g of fat, and 0 g of protein per serving, the food then has 12g carbohydrate x 4 calories = 48 calories þ 2 g fat x 4 calories = 8 calories for a total of 48 þ 8 calories = 56 calories per serving). Macronutrients also have specific roles in maintaining the body and contribute to the taste, texture and appearance of foods, which helps to make the diet more varied and enjoyable. Proteins Proteins, from the Greek proteios meaning “first”, are important biological molecules (biomolecules) that consist of strings of smaller units called amino acids, the “building blocks” of proteins."

"text": "List of Starchy Carbsby PAULA MARTINAC Oct. 03, 2017Carbohydrates containing starches get a bad rap from low-carb diet proponents for being higher in calories than nonstarchy carbs like green vegetables. Your body also digests starches more quickly than protein or fat. But many starches contain rich amounts of nutrients like B vitamins, which help you make energy from food, and fiber, which keeps your digestive system running on track. Keep your starchy carbs healthful by choosing nutrient-dense varieties over refined ones, monitoring your portions and avoiding high-calorie additions. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Starchy Carb Basics Carbohydrates are one of three macronutrients your body needs to function, along with protein and fat. When broken down and digested, carbs turn into glucose, your body’s preferred fuel, needed for tissue and muscle health and for all the major bodily systems. The Institute of Medicine recommends that 45 to 65 percent of your daily calories come from carbs. Carbs are often classified as either simple or complex, depending on their composition. Sugars count as simple carbohydrates, since they might contain just one or two subunits, while starchy carbs fall into the category of complex carbohydrates because they can contain hundreds or even thousands of smaller subunits. However, these names can be misleading."

"text": "About Inulin Inulin is a soluble dietary fibre. It is a naturally occurring oligosaccharide (several simple sugars linked together) belonging to a group of carbohydrates known as fructans. Unlike most carbohydrates, inulin is non-digestible. This allows it to pass through the small intestine and ferment in the large intestine. Through the fermentation process, the inulin becomes healthy intestinal micro flora (bifidobacterium). Natural Sources of Inulin Inulin is naturally present in many different foods. Some every day foods, such as asparagus, leek, onions, banana, wheat and garlic are sources of inulin. Higher concentrations exist in herbs. Dandelion root, elecampane root and chicory root all have large amounts of inulin. Chicory root is the most common source of inulin due to its extremely high concentration as well as its similarities to the sugar beet."

"text": "\"When purchasing fresh beets in the produce section of your grocery, you are very likely to find them bunched together with their colorful leafy greens adorning their tops. While many people can cut off these greens and only consume their round root portion, beet greens are actually the most nutrient-rich part of the plant and provide amazing health benefits. What's New and Beneficial About Beet Greens A recent study from Chile has shown beet greens to be one of the top 10 food contributors to iron intake in that country. Even though legumes were the most important food group contributor to iron (with pinto beans ranking as the number one food source), beet greens were nevertheless a standout source, especially within the vegetable group. ( Our WHFoods rating system ranks beet greens as a very good source of iron, providing 15% of the daily recommended amount in a 1-cup serving. ) Dark green leafy vegetables (DGLV) are often lumped together as a group and treated interchangeably. However, up-to-date nutrient information reveals important differences between members of this incredibly nutrient-rich food group. For example, when beet greens are compared with two other common DGLVs—turnip greens and mustard greens—only beet greens provide excellent amounts of both calcium and magnesium, While all three of these DGLVs provide excellent amounts of calcium, only beet greens also provide an excellent amount of magnesium at 98 milligrams per serving, or nearly 25% of the recommended daily amount. This unique aspect of beet greens gives them a calcium:magnesium ratio of 1.6:1, in comparison to the ratio in turnip greens of 6.2:1, or the ratio in mustard greens of 9.2:1. Both beet greens and beet roots can provide you with outstanding nourishment."

Red beets and beet greens If you have a problem with constipation, red beets and their green tops may provide significant relief. Both are rich in fiber that can help keep waste materials moving through your small and large intestines at a healthy pace. Red beets contain large amounts of potassium and magnesium, while beet greens are an excellent source of beta-carotene, iron, and calcium. All of these nutrients are essential to maintaining the health of your digestive tract lining and the smooth muscle fibers that create the waves of contractions that produce bowel movements. Steaming is the healthiest cooking method for red beets and beet greens. Cut the greens off right where their roots meet the red beet heads. Give the greens a good wash with cold water and set them aside. Peel the skin off the red beets, slice them into 1/4 slices, and then cook them in a steamer for about 8-10 minutes or until they start to become slightly tender. At this point, place the beet greens right on top of the red beet slices, put the lid back on the steamer, and allow it to run for another 5-7 minutes or until the beet greens have softened up to a texture that you enjoy."

It is manufactured by Diamond Pet Foods, Inc., owned by Schell and Kampeter, Inc. They are a U. S.-based pet food manufacturer with plants located in Meta, Missouri, Lathrop, California and Gaston, South Carolina. The company is a family-owned, privately-held enterprise, still managed by the Schell and Kampeter family. The headquarters for Diamond are in Meta, Missouri and the company was founded in 1970. At that time brothers-in-law Gary Schell and Richard Kampeter bought Milling Meta Co., a producer of livestock feed and dog food. Early distribution was limited to within 100 miles of Meta, Missouri and only about 5 percent of the company’s production was dog food. Diamond expanded its manufacturing to include plants in San Joaquin County California in 1999 and Gaston, South Carolina in 2002. Compare This Dog Food To The Current Highest Rated Dog Food Brands Recall History Kirkland has a very good reputation with dog breeders and dog show exhibitors, especially in areas served by Cost Co, and many people say they have been feeding the food for years with good results. However, cans of Kirkland Signature Premium were recalled in 2007 with the large pet food recalls. Kirkland was also part of a large voluntary recall by Diamond due to Salmonella in May 2012.

Carbohydrates are divided into two groups: simple carbohydrates, which have one or two sugars and are absorbed more quickly, and complex carbohydrates, which have three or more sugars and are absorbed more slowly. It is recommended that people get between 40 and 60 percent of their total calories from carbohydrates, although complex carbohydrates are preferred.

"text": "Two Super Carbohydrates for Healthier Eating Posted on May 7, 2012 by Anthony Thompson — No Comments ↓Carbohydrates often get a bum rap in our society. Everyone is trying to limit “carbs”, yet carbs are the fuel that keep us going. The real problem with carbs, is that we consume too many simple carbs like sugary foods and starchy foods that dump a lot of sugars into our system, all at once. Complex carbohydrates as opposed to simple carbohydrates don’t have a high glycemic load and often have added nutrients that simple carbs lack. In this post I will look at two foods that are high in carbs, but are actually good for you, beets and turnips. Beets Beets are a healthy, naturally sweet food. They are good source of dietary fiber, folate and manganese. Beets do have a fair amount of sugar in them. However, they have a low glycemic load because the carbohydrates do not make up a large portion of the beet. This is an advantage of complex carbohydrates versus simple carbohydrates."

For healthy recipes that feature some of the best constipation fighting foods, visit this Guide's recipe page.#1: Pears Eating pears, as part of a healthy and balanced diet, may help combat constipation as these delicious fruits, once referred to as the \"\"gift of the gods\"\", contain a fair amount of fiber. But the fiber pears boast is hardly their only bowel movement stimulating feature: these juicy, sweet fruits are also a great natural source of sorbitol. Sorbitol is a known laxative which works by drawing water into the large intestine. When buying pears, it is wise to opt for organically grown fruit whenever possible; conventionally grown pears often contain high amounts of pesticides and other chemicals.#2: Prunes Prunes are a good source of dietary fiber which is the part of fruits and vegetables that the enzymes in your body cannot digest and that is therefore not absorbed into the bloodstream. As a result, fiber remains in the colon where it absorbs water and softens the stool, thereby preventing constipation. In addition to fiber, prunes contain mild colonic stimulants, which exert further beneficial effects on the bowels.

"text": "Foods That Prevent Constipationby MOLLY MCADAMS Aug. 14, 2017Constipation, or intestinal slowdown, is a symptom of either a temporary gastrointestinal problem or, less commonly, a more serious medical condition. Most often, the cause is simply a lack of fiber in the diet, which you can resolve easily by eating more high-fiber foods, particularly foods high in insoluble fiber, which your body cannot digest. Insoluble fiber, or roughage, helps move waste products through the intestinal tract and out of the body. One thing all naturally high-fiber foods have in common is that they are plant foods; meats and other animal products contain no fiber unless it is added during processing. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Whole Grains Wheat bran is higher in insoluble fiber than any other ingredient. Breads, rolls and pastas that are made with whole-wheat flour contain wheat bran and are usually higher in fiber than products made with other types of flour. Baked goods and cereals made with oat bran, wheat germ, buckwheat flour, whole-meal rye flour and soy flour are also good sources of fiber. Popcorn is a whole-grain snack food recommended for its naturally high fiber content. Legumes Dried beans such as black beans, pinto beans, navy beans, kidney beans, cannelloni beans and other legumes like lentils and green or yellow split peas are all high in fiber. To use legumes to boost the fiber in your diet, add them to soups, pasta dishes and salads, or season them with herbs such as rosemary and sage or spices like curry powder or chili powder and serve them on their own as a side dish."

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

When an overload of toxins becomes too much for your liver to handle, toxic compounds can store within tissues and decrease your quality of health. Cleansing your liver with a liver detox can be helpful for revving up the function of your body’s natural detox mechanisms. Juice Your Way to Health If you’re cleansing your liver, you need to provide your body with nutrition that is easy to digest. You don’t want your body to spend its energy digesting food, but you definitely need to keep a good balance of nutrients, electrolytes, and antioxidants to provide support during the detox. Juicing is a powerful way to support the cleansing of your liver without compromising the body’s natural healing process.

The rest is complex and will vary depending if the the molasses is from sugar beets, cane sugar (the two most common sources), or other. The total sugar content in molasses is approximately 50 %. Minor carbohydrates are glucose, fructose, raffinose and some other oligo- or polysaccharides. Their concentration is below 1 % and depends to a significant extent on the manufacturing process.

An introduction to beetroot Like many modern vegetables, beetroot was first cultivated by the Romans. By the 19th century it held great commercial value when it was discovered that beets could be converted into sugar. Today, the leading commercial producers include the USA, Russia, France, Poland and Germany. Many classic beetroot recipes are associated with central and Eastern Europe including the famous beetroot soup known as borscht. Beetroot's earthy charm has resulted in its ubiquitous influence on fashionable menus and recipes. Its delicious but distinctive flavour and nutritional status have escalated it to the root you can't beat!Belonging to the same family as chard and spinach, both the leaves and root can be eaten - the leaves have a bitter taste whereas the round root is sweet. Typically a rich purple colour, beetroot can also be white or golden. Due to its high sugar content, beetroot is delicious eaten raw but is more typically cooked or pickled. Nutritional highlights Beetroot is of exceptional nutritional value; especially the greens, which are rich in calcium, iron and vitamins A and C. Beetroots are an excellent source of folic acid and a very good source of fibre, manganese and potassium."

Anyone who has gone for a few days without a bowel movement can relate to this. When things feel bound up, you will probably do just about anything to get a little relief from your constipation! Luckily, there are a number of foods to relieve constipation that also helps prevent the symptoms from occurring in the first place. Organic Fruits and Vegetables All-natural (locally grown) fruits and vegetables are helpful in relieving constipation and in preventing constipation from occurring in the first place. At the very least, you should include five servings of fruits and vegetables in your diet every day. Fruits and vegetables are beneficial in providing constipation relief for one main reason — fiber. Fiber is a material found in plants, which include fruits and vegetables. This material cannot be digested by the human gastrointestinal tract. You might think that’s a bad thing, but this “in-digestibility” is the source of fiber’s chief benefit to our diet."

I don't feel bad or have any discomfort, but I'm concerned these changes might mean something. How can I figure out when I should be concerned about the shape and color of my poop? Sincerely, Crapping the Rainbow Dear Ct R, The color of your poop does mean something, but often times it has more to do with what you eat than what horrible things could be happening in your body. If you have a concern, you should always play it safe and consult your doctor or another medical professional—something none of us at Lifehacker are, by the way. For that reason, we asked Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, medical editor at Examine.com, and Dr. David Dragoo, MD, to help get to the bottom of this problem (so to speak). What the Shape of Your Poop Can Tell You As it turns out, there's a chart dedicated to the shape of your poop. Dr. Nadolsky explains: There is something called the \"\"Bristol Stool Chart\"\" which we use sometimes in the office when dealing with patient's GI health (e.g. constipation). This chart gives a good idea of what the consistency and shape should be of our stools."

An acute bout of constipation can occur in a previously healthy cat or a cat with chronic constipation can experience an acute bout. In a multi-cat household, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out which cat is producing which stool or who is not pooping. One way to sort things out is to feed each cat, in turn, a small amount of baby food beets. Be forewarned that beets may also color the urine, a harmless effect, and that will probably occur more quickly than the beets coloring the stool. Wait a couple of days before giving the beets to the next cat so you are sure whose results are whose. There are a variety of laxatives on the market. Few of them are suitable for cats.

Annual begonia care is relatively simple when one properly learns how to grow begonias. Watering is important in the care of begonias, as is the right location. How to Grow Begonias in the Annual Garden Known as wax begonias or bedding begonias, annual begonia plants ( Begonia semperflorens) grow quickly and easily fill in spaces in the garden that will benefit from attractive foliage and frilly flowers. They can be a focal point when planted in mass and are excellent specimens for container combinations. Annual begonia plants are also deer resistant, so keep them in mind for trouble spots in the landscape. Plant wax begonias in a full sun to shaded location. Full sun locations during hot summer days may stress annual begonia plants, making them susceptible to disease. Therefore, in areas where summers are exceptionally hot, plant wax begonias where they will get afternoon shade. Annual Begonia Care Once appropriately placed in the flower bed or hanging basket, deadheading spent blooms and keeping the soil moist is the basis of annual begonia care."

These are usually made up from combinations of peat moss, perlite, vermiculite, sand or similar materials. The primary role of a propagation medium is to provide support and moisture while the plant is developing. These requirements are quite different from those of a potting medium, which may have to sustain a mature or growing plant over a long period of time. Generally speaking, potting media are not recommended for plant propagation purposes. Many plants will easily root in water. However, the roots that form can be extremely fibrous and stringy. Plants rooted in water often have a difficult time becoming established after they are transplanted to a container. Moisture: The propagation medium should be thoroughly moistened before use. Many organic materials, like peat moss, have a waxy outer coating that resists wetting."

The law movies have one considerable advantage: the female characters participate fully in all the action, instead of just staying home and writing letters to the front. In \"\"The Firm,\"\" a labyrinthine 153-minute film by Sydney Pollack, Tom Cruise plays Mitch Mc Deere, a poor boy who is ashamed of his humble origins now that he has graduated from Harvard Law fifth in his class. He gets offers from the top law firms in New York and Chicago, but finally settles on a smaller firm headquartered in Memphis.

Texas gardeners desperately need a plant which will :1) flourish in periods of severe drought and water restrictions, i.e., listed among the most drought tolerant : Cockscomb, Coreopsis, Cosmos, Four o'clock, Moss Rose, Petunia, Purslane, Verbena, Zinnia (2) will bloom in less than full sunlight situations, i.e., listed among the most Shade or Semi-Shade Tolerant: Begonia, Bellflower, Coleus, Dwarf Lobelia, Four O'CLOCK, Flowering Tobacco, Impatiens (3) is deer and rabbit tolerant in that it is not a preferred plant for deer and can recoup rapidly after being damaged by deer, dogs, and other varmints, (4) is fragrant, (5) is a long-lived tuberous perennial and reseeding annual, and (6) is one of a very few hummingbird and butterfly plants for shady growing conditions. The skeptics may wonder why this wonderful plant has not been promoted before now. The simple answer is that this plant is so adapted and tenacious, it is sometimes considered invasive, i.e., one person's trash is another person's treasure OR familiarity breeds discontent. Or maybe it is because the flowers do not stay open all day -- flowers are not responding to an internal clock but to temperature so the flowers open in the afternoon, about 4 o'clock. Usually, the flowers close the following morning, but if the day is cool, they will stay open until the new flowers open. In the Hellish summer temperatures of Texas, folks can only enjoy their flowers in the late evening anyway and four o'clocks provide beauty and fragrance during that cooler time of the day. Flowers are trumpet-shaped, with the throat as much as 2 inches long and 1 inch wide with five lobes. Flowers are produced in shades of white, yellow and about every shade of pink imaginable. The striped flowers appear to be infected with a virus disease that creates the interesting patterns."

It was derived from the Sanskrit word ‘jangala’ meaning ‘uncultivated land.’ Although the rainforest finds popular usage, yet it has not totally replaced the word ‘jungle,’ and practically both words co-exist sometimes with a little variation in their description. A jungle differs from a forest in that a forest has tall trees with a thick canopy allowing only one percent of light to penetrate to the forest floor. In a jungle, the floor is fully exposed to sunlight allowing the thick growth of shrubs and grasses. Distinguishing features of jungles or rainforests include their warm and humid environment as well as an excess of precipitation.1. The Amazon Jungle The Amazon Jungle The Amazon Jungle, also known as the Amazon rainforest, or Amazonia, includes most of the South American Amazon basin. The total area of this basin is 7 million square kilometers, and 5.5 million square kilometers of it is comprised of the jungle.

In zones 8b to 11, begonias can survive year-round if you protect them from frost. There are thousands of varieties to choose from, and most require easy care. Don't hesitate to experiment with adding begonias to your outdoor space. Sun and Shade Begonias prefer well-drained soil, partial shade and humid weather. Four to six hours of morning sun is ideal, and will encourage blooms without scorching the plants. Most begonias tolerate full shade, but blooming may be less prolific. Check the requirements on your particular variety before choosing a location with afternoon sun, as some begonias will scorch."

It is important to remember that some types of begonias are grown for their brilliantly colored flowers, while other begonias are enjoyed for their unique and beautiful foliage. Most begonias bought at nurseries will be labeled as indoor plants or outdoor plants. There are two main categories of cultivated begonias based on growth habits. Also there are hybrids within these groups. Cane Begonias grow upwards on tall stems that resemble bamboo in appearance. The Angel Wing Begonia is a common example. Fibrous root Begonia species have stems that are directly attached to the crown of the plant like that of radish leaves. This group includes the Rex Begonia hybrids."

"text": "\"Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) causes serious diseases of many economically important plants representing 35 plant families, including dicots and monocots. This wide host range of ornamentals, vegetables, and field crops is unique among plant-infecting viruses. Another unique feature is that TSWV is the only virus transmitted in a persistent manner by certain thrips species At least six strains of TSWV have been reported; the symptoms produced and the range of plants infected vary among strains Although previously a threat only to crops produced in tropical and subtropical regions, today the disease occurs worldwide. Largely because of wider distribution of the western flower thrips and movement of virus-infected plant material. Early and accurate detection of infected plants and measures to reduce the vector population are discussed as critical steps for disease control. Causal Agent TSWV is the only member of an RNA-containing virus group that has membrane-bound spherical particles 70-9Omm in diameter. Tomato spotted wilt, first described in Australia in 1919, was later identified as a virus disease. It is now common in temperate, subtropical, and tropical regions around the world. Heavy crop losses in the field were reported in the 1980s in tomato in Louisiana and in tomato and lettuce in Hawaii. Other southern states reporting losses in tomato in recent years include Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee."

Clones are groups of plants that are identical to their one parent and that can only be propagated asexually. The Bartlett pear (1770) and the Delicious apple (1870) are two examples of clones that have been asexually propagated for many years. The major methods of asexual propagation are cuttings, layering, division, and budding/grafting. Cuttings involve rooting a severed piece of the parent plant; layering involves rooting a part of the parent and then severing it; and budding and grafting are joining two plant parts from different varieties. Return to Table of Contents Rooting Media The potting soil, or medium in which a plant grows, must be of good quality. It should be porous for root aeration and drainage, but also capable of water and nutrient retention. In order for a plant to form a new root system, it must have a ready moisture supply at the cut surface. Oxygen, of course, is required for all living cells. The coarse-textured media choices often meet these requirements."

Annual begonia care is relatively simple when one properly learns how to grow begonias. Watering is important in the care of begonias, as is the right location. How to Grow Begonias in the Annual Garden Known as wax begonias or bedding begonias, annual begonia plants ( Begonia semperflorens) grow quickly and easily fill in spaces in the garden that will benefit from attractive foliage and frilly flowers. They can be a focal point when planted in mass and are excellent specimens for container combinations. Annual begonia plants are also deer resistant, so keep them in mind for trouble spots in the landscape. Plant wax begonias in a full sun to shaded location. Full sun locations during hot summer days may stress annual begonia plants, making them susceptible to disease. Therefore, in areas where summers are exceptionally hot, plant wax begonias where they will get afternoon shade. Annual Begonia Care Once appropriately placed in the flower bed or hanging basket, deadheading spent blooms and keeping the soil moist is the basis of annual begonia care."

"text": "\"While the large, often colorful, wing-shaped foliage of an angel wing begonia (Begonia coccinea) is enough for some gardeners, you can't enjoy your angel wings to their full potential when they don't bloom. Angel wing begonias, unlike the standard bedding variety, grow on cane-like stalks that can reach 6 feet tall indoors and 15 feet outdoors in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10a to 11a, where they are evergreen. Angel wings also produce showy clusters of brilliant pink, orange or red blooms that hang from the tips of canes on delicate stems. Treat your angel wing begonia right and it can bloom all spring and summer.1Plant your angel wing begonia outdoors where it receives full morning sun and filtered light once the afternoon sun becomes intense.2Feed cane begonias with a balanced fertilizer beginning at planting time or late winter for established plants, alternating it with a high-phosphorus product. Dilute the product to half strength and apply twice as often as recommended for indoor begonias and at recommended strength at least monthly until early fall for outdoor plants.3Pinch off flowers as they fade where the stem connects to the cane. Unlike other begonias, angel wings are not self-cleaning and deadheading encourages more bloom.4Prune out older canes of mature plants indoors or out at their base in late winter to early spring. This encourages new shoots to grow and flower.5Dig up and divide angel wing begonias outdoors when flowering and new cane production decreased the season before. Divide and re-pot indoor angel wings every year with a vigorous plant. Things You Will Need Pots Potting soil Balanced fertilizer High-phosphorus fertilizer Bypass pruners Shovel Tips Flowering naturally decreases when temperatures are high or low. Optimal temperatures for flowering are a nighttime temperature between 60 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a daytime temperature 10 to 15 degrees warmer."

If you have a cat, you will want to keep begonias well out of your pet's reach because they are toxic to cats. Issues Begonias, especially their tubers, contain oxalates. When a cat chews on a begonia or ingests any part of it, the oxalates cause tissue damage and pain. Symptoms A cat that ingests portions of a begonia will display symptoms such as excessive drooling and signs of extreme irritation around its mouth. The cat could vomit and have difficulty swallowing. Treatment At home, you can treat your cat by washing out its mouth to remove any remaining portions of the begonia.

Probably the most popular member of the family is commonly called wax begonia. These little charmers grow 8 to 10 inches tall and bear pink, red, or white blooms atop either green or bronze foliage. Wax begonias are so adaptable they thrive in partial sun and shade and work just as well in the flower border as they do in pots, planters, and window boxes. They have almost no insect or disease problems and their blooms are prized by butterflies and hummingbirds.

"text": "Pygmy Date Palms By Brian Barth Landscape Designer Source Pygmy date palm ( Phoenix roebelenii) is a dwarf palm for subtropical landscapes, but is small enough to grow in a pot and bring indoors for winter in colder climates. Its soft leaf texture and idyllic form have made it one of the most popular palm varieties. Pygmy Date Palm in a Nutshell Though they can reach 25 feet in an ideal tropical environment, pygmy date palms are more often seen in the 10 to 12 foot range, or less if they are grown in a pot. Fronds The six to eight foot canopy is composed of long feathery fronds comprised by numerous narrow leaflets that give the tree a soft appearance overall. That being said, the leaflets do terminate in sharp spines, but the trees lack the stout look of palms that have stiff fronds, thorns or not. Trunk The slender trunk has decorative protuberances along its entire length from where fronds were once attached, but have fallen off as the tree grows. The tree naturally has just one trunk, though it is commonly planted in tight clumps which creates the look of a multi-trunked palm as they grow, often resulting in picturesque curved trunks. Fruit and Flowers While pygmy date palm is closely related to the larger edible date palm, this species is not really grown for its fruit - it's more like a pit surrounded by a thin edible skin, rather than something that could be harvested and enjoyed. Because of their slow growth rate, it may be five years or more after planting until the palms flower and fruit. The flowers are long clusters of cream-colored blooms that emerge from the center of the canopy each spring, followed by reddish fruit that turns dark as it ripens in summer."

"text": "\"Home »Flowers How Is the Yellow Iris Poisonous? By D. C. Winston; Updated September 21, 2017Poisonous Iris Plant Parts Yellow iris, known botanically as iris pseudacorus--or commonly as pale yellow iris or yellow flag--is a flowering plant whose internal liquids are a severe irritant to the skin, and whose underground rhizomes are highly poisonous and deadly to animals and humans if ingested. This is problematic because the plant is invasive and readily naturalizes. For these reasons, its propagation and planting is banned in some regions. Some of these same poisonous properties are shared with some blue or purple iris species. Contact Irritation & Burns The plant sap from the leaves, flower stalks and flowers themselves can create irritations, chemical burns, sores and scabbing on the skin and mucous membranes of humans and animals. The chemical action of the toxic substance in yellow iris is not well understood, but thought to be iridin, according to a study by M. R. Cooper and A. W. Johnson entitled \"\"Poisonous Plants in Britain and Their Effects on Animals and Man. \"\" Ingestion Poisoning The underground rhizomes of yellow iris are deadly to animals and humans when ingested. The mucous membranes of the mouth, throat and intestinal tract are irritated and burned. Severe pain in the abdominal and intestinal tract occurs, glands swell and the stool becomes bloody with death typically following in a few days."

"text": "Home »Flowers How to Get an Angel Wing Begonia Plant to Bloom By Barbara Biehler; Updated September 21, 2017An angel wing begonia is a tropical flowering annual commonly grown as a house plant or bedding plant. Angel wing begonias, one of more than 1,200 species in the begonia family, get their name for the long green, wing-like leaves the plants produce. Angel wing begonias grow from 15 to 18 inches in height, and produce stems with clusters of flowers in solid white or varying shades of pink and red. Because begonias grow more slowly than other annuals, the plants are ideal for use in hanging baskets, as well as in flower and window boxes. Angel wing begonias will bloom profusely, if given the proper care and growing conditions. Provide the angel wing begonia with well-drained soil in an outdoor garden, or a plant potting mix if the begonia is grown in a pot indoors. Well-drained soil or plant potting mix allows the plant to receive more oxygen and nutrients through its roots for optimum growing. Give the begonia plenty of light. An angel wing begonia prefers bright, indirect daily sunlight indoors or partially shaded conditions outdoors. Keep the soil moist, if growing an angel wing begonia outdoors, but do not over-water."

A perennial plant is one that comes back year after year and doesn't produce lasting woody material. Many perennials grow back from robust root systems. Other perennials produce creeping rhizomes dividing and multiplying as they creep along. Those perennials selected for the garden will produce a great show of flowers year after year during their season of glory. Perennials are often some of the heaviest blooming plants in the garden. Many perennials have fragrant foliage or fragrant flowers. Perennials are often selected for their bold foliage color or texture. Some perennial varieties require quite a lot of labor to be kept looking at their prime. The perennial border is one of the highest maintenance portions of the garden, but it can also be one of the most visually rewarding."

If you’ve looked around your local garden center recently, you’ll find that there are so many new varieties of begonias to choose from nowadays! In addition to the little wax begonias that do so well as bedding plants, there are also the lovely dragon-wing begonias, trailing begonias, showy tuberous begonias, rex begonias, and the list goes on!Here’s what you need to know about growing different types of begonias. Begonia Basics Begonias are tropical perennials, which means that in frost-free climates, they can live (and sometimes bloom) all year round. They like the conditions that appeal to many tropical plants: Light: A bright spot with a little sun protection. Morning sun (and a little afternoon shade) is perfect. Wax begonias can tolerate more sun than other types, and the ones with bronze-colored leaves are the most sun-tolerant of all. Tuberous begonias prefer more shade and less heat, so we often see them on display in late summer. Tuberous begonia Soil: Light, rich, humusy soil. Begonias are great for containers because they love the light texture of potting mix."

"text": "Your grandma's cane begonia (Begonia spp. ), also known as an angel-wing begonia, can bring back fond memories of a warm cottage garden and the huge leaves that made a shady shelter for you and your pets. Begonias are native to tropical regions around the world, with over 2,000 species and hybrids thriving in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10a through 11. While many begonias are grown indoors as houseplants, the easy to grow, old-fashioned cane begonias also thrive in the microclimates created in warm, sheltered gardens across the West, Southwest and South. Planting the Seeds Begonia seeds are tiny, so planting individual seeds into pots is nearly impossible. Instead, most begonia lovers moisten sterile seed-starting mix before pouring it into a seed-starting tray. The seeds are scattered over the top of the mix and spritzed lightly with water to ensure they have enough moisture to begin the germination process. Light Begonia seeds should not be covered with soil or sand after they're scattered on the planting mix. The seeds require light to germinate. Placing the seed tray in a brightly lit location or hanging a light 4 inches over the tray's top stimulates the seeds' germination."

How to Grow Hiemalis Begonias Some new plant introductions take the gardening world by storm because of their outstanding features and performance. One such plant burst on the scene in 2000, when the University of Georgia described it as a “begonia on steroids.\"\" Dragon Wing begonia (Begonia x hybrida “Dragon Wing”) earns this moniker because its size and growth rate eclipse those of its parent plants, one of which is the common bedding, or wax, begonia. Distinction With more than 1,500 named begonia species (Begonia spp. ), it can be a bit of a challenge to choose which begonias are suitable plants for your garden. Typically, begonias are grouped into categories, depending on the type of roots they have. Dragon Wing begonia has a fibrous root system, which it has in common with both its parent plants -- wax begonia (Begonia x semperflorens-cultorum) and angelwing begonia (Begonia coccinea). Dragon Wing’s leaves are waxy, like wax begonia, and its stems are canelike, like its angelwing parent. However, its hybrid qualities are the improved result of both parents -- bigger leaves and flowers and a denser and larger growth habit."

They shut down their kidney's and you should take your pet immediately to the vet to have them induce vomiting, they will also have you give them a charcoal slurry in an oral syringe . It is good to keep charcoal capsules around for humans and pets to give to absorb toxic material. Give your pet parsley, which is loaded with chlorophyl as well.

To prevent poisoning in your animals, provide proper feed and grazing, and identify and control poisonous plants in natural areas, pastures, and your own landscape. Toxicity & Animals Plants produce toxins as a defense against grazing. These toxins usually make the plants smell or taste bad, and animals generally avoid them. But, young animals may eat these plants out of curiosity, and older animals may graze on these undesirable plants under the following conditions: Desired forage is scarce. Owners give them bad food or forage that contains poisonous plants. Most poisonous plants will not kill an animal. Instead, animals will suffer from chronic toxicity, which is caused by repeat exposure over time. The common symptom seen in this type of poisoning is wasting (poor growth and low weight)."

There are clearly 2 views on the demise of the marriage. As we first reported, some sources with a bird's-eye view have told us Jen was fed up with Ben's booze and blackjack habits. But other sources who are also very familiar with the couple are saying when push came to shove, Jennifer made no mention of alcohol and gambling ... her beef was that Ben wasn't a \"\"present husband. \"\" Fact is ... Ben has had back-to-back film projects for several years, and spent much of his time out of town. The sources say Jen felt ignored and neglected, and they argued frequently over it. These sources say this has nothing to do with Ben being a neglectful dad. Quite the opposite, they say he's a great dad who does everything he can for the kids. And, we're told, she didn't really have any beef about his parenting skills ... her problem was with Ben as a husband. In the end, we're told the breakup was mutual."

"text": "Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner: Their Sham Marriage Exposed BY Bobby Fischer on March 11, 2013 | Comments: Related : Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Scandal Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have been married almost 8 years now, and at the outset, they appear to be blissfully married, right? But of course, they are the perfect couple, taking their children to ballet class, portraying the image of the perfect family. They wouldn’t call the paparazzi to take pictures of them at their daughter’s school, of course they wouldn’t. That would be invasion of privacy, and they are VERY against that, didn’t you know? Please. An Oscar campaign is like a government campaign – you do everything and anything necessary to get the votes from Academy members. Ben and Jennifer had to portray the image of the perfect family, because if the Academy thought otherwise, he might have lost a lot of votes. But of course, that didn’t stop him from insulting his wife in front of millions and millions of viewers when he finally won that Oscar. He wouldn’t have won if it weren’t for her willingness to play her part, yet when it’s his turn to thank her, he says, “ I want to thank my wife, I want thank you for working on our marriage for ten Christmases, it’s- uh, it’s- it’s good, it is work, but it’s the best kind of work, and, uh, there’s no one I’d rather work with. ” Way to profess your love and gratitude there, Ben."

"text": "Alternative Titles: J. Lo, Jennifer Lynn Lopez Jennifer Lopez, in full Jennifer Lynn Lopez, byname J. Lo, (born July 24, 1969, Bronx, New York, U. S.), American actress and musician who began appearing in films in the late 1980s and quickly became one of the highest-paid Latina actresses in the history of Hollywood. She later found crossover success in the music industry with a series of pop albums. Lopez, who was born into a family of Puerto Rican descent, took dance lessons throughout her childhood and from an early age had aspirations of fame. She performed internationally in stage musicals, and at age 16 she made her film debut with a small role in My Little Girl (1986). Her television break came in 1990 when she was cast as one of the “Fly Girls,” dancers who appeared on the comedy show In Living Color. After she left the show, she turned her focus to acting, first in several short-lived television series and then in movie roles. Film success came quickly, and by the mid-1990s she was appearing with such notable actors as Robin Williams ( Jack, 1996) and Jack Nicholson ( Blood and Wine, 1997). Lopez still remained somewhat in the periphery of the public vision, however, until she landed the lead role in Selena (1997), a biopic of the murdered Tejana singer. She went on to star in a number of thrillers and action dramas, including Anaconda (1997), U Turn (1997), Out of Sight (1998), and The Cell (2000), and she gained widespread praise for The Wedding Planner (2001), her successful first attempt at romantic comedy. That release was quickly followed by the romantic drama Angel Eyes in the middle of the year."

"text": "The off-screen relationships of the Two and a Half Men cast By Jamie Levi, Nov 12, 2017begin >>Let’s face it, we have all wondered about the off-screen lives of our favorite characters in film and TV. There is something that fascinates us with the lives of celebrities, especially those that play recurring roles on television shows, because those are the ones we feel like we really “know.” When it comes to TV shows that span over several years, die-hard fans can often become obsessed with the on-screen lives of those we have come to “grow up with.” Of course, we all know that they are just actors and actresses, and that they aren’t really the people who they portray on our TV screens. However, we are still shocked when we find out that these people who we thought we knew so well, actually have lives of their own! How dare they! One of those shows that made us feel at home, was the long-running sitcom Two and a Half Men. ADVERTISEMENTThe show was a huge hit from the first season, and we got to watch the Harper brothers and Jake grow up and develop into deeper, more complicated and meaningful characters along the way. Of course, it wasn’t only the two (and a half) men who we adored, it was also the dozens of women who played the show’s girlfriends, ex-wives, fiancés, moms, etc. What would the show have been like without the entertaining, unique, hilarious and strong women of Two and a Half Men?"

As an infant, she came down with aplastic anemia, as the result of a polluted water well. She desperately needed a bone marrow transplant, and because of Jack's Hodgkin's he was not able to donate to her, but luckily her mother's friend and co-worker Austin Reed was a perfect match. Abby was barely out of the woods when Jack, who discovered he was responsible for her anemia, took off. Before long, Abby was starting to associate Jennifer's new boyfriend Peter Blake with fatherhood, but Jack soon came back into her life. After a series of misadventures, (including her father going to prison and her mother being presumed dead), Abby and her family left Salem for Africa. A few years later, Abby and her mother were living in Ireland, but returned home after encountering her honorary uncle Bo Brady there. Abby was thrilled when Jack followed not long after that, and began hoping that her parents would find their way back to each other, despite her mother's relationship with Brandon Walker and Colin Murphy."

A new report claims it’s not that simple between the Daredevil costars. “ She’ll do anything for those kids, even if it means fighting mercilessly for Ben’s money and their family’s house,” an insider tells Star. It doesn’t seem like the fight will be that hard considering that Ben prefers bachelorhood to parenting, according to the outlet."

Bueller…Ferris Bueller. He’s the ultimate slacker kingpin in John Hughes’ seminal ’80s teen comedy, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which inspired millions of kids to not take life too seriously. The movie was an enormous success upon release, becoming one of the most beloved comedies of the decade. Most notable was the nigh-perfect group of characters Hughes created, and of course, the actors he enlisted to play them. It may be hard to believe, but the comedy classic is set to celebrate its 30 th anniversary in June. It’s crazy to think that that much time has passed since Ferris took that fateful day off of school, but then, life does move pretty fast. As such, it’s time to stop and take a look around and see what the cast members of this classic have been up to all these years. Here are the ups and downs of the stars of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off."

With the lead in this month’s Miracles from Heaven , she talks about breaking up with Ben Affleck, dealing with the pain, and keeping her kids and career in focus.by Krista Smith Photographs by Patrick Demarchelier Styled by Jessica Diehl February 26, 2016 1:33 pm Photograph by Patrick Demarchelier; Styled by Jessica Diehl. In an unassuming Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, I wait for Jennifer Garner. You’ve seen thousands of photographs of her: jeans, sweater, thick chestnut locks swept up in a ponytail—the definition of what it is to be California casual. This native West Virginian’s relaxed, unpretentious style has made her arguably one of the most respected public mothers in America and still a draw at the box office. Her walk is brisk and to the point as she joins me at a table in the back. She lives up to expectations—flawless skin, no makeup, big smile. This is one of her favorite places; the busboy even asks how the children are. The reason she was a few minutes late: “I didn’t think I was nervous, but then I realized I was at the wrong restaurant. ”It’s been a “year of wine,” as the 43-year-old actress describes it, laughing."

"text": "Anxiolytics, sedatives, and hypnotics What are Anxiolytics, sedatives, and hypnotics? Anxiolytics, sedatives and hypnotics are medicines that work on the central nervous system to relieve anxiety, aid sleep, or have a calming effect. The benzodiazepines are the main class of drugs that fit into this category. Although there are more than twenty benzodiazepine derivatives, only certain ones have been approved to treat anxiety (eg, alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, and lorazepam), sleeplessness ( insomnia) (eg, estazolam, flurazepam, quazepam, temazepam and triazolam), or panic disorder (eg, alprazolam). Barbiturates are an older class of medicine that used to be used for these indications as well; however, barbiturates have a narrow therapeutic index (window of effectiveness before toxicity occurs), and are more likely to cause respiratory depression, coma and death, and are very rarely used nowadays. The main issue with use of benzodiazepines is dependence. Benzodiazepines differ in their propensity to cause sedation and in the length of time they act for. All benzodiazepines are thought to work by enhancing the inhibitory action of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Other drug classes that are also considered effective at relieving anxiety include the SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclic antidepressants and buspirone; other medicines may also be prescribed off-label. These drugs are often preferred over benzodiazepines for anxiety because they are unlikely to cause dependence; however, they may not work as quickly as benzodiazepines."

But benzos don't suppress dopamine; they augment the effects of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS. [ Xanax binds to GABA (Type A) receptors, increasing the affinity of GABA for the receptor, and thus allowing the existing GABA to induce more neural inhibition.] Xanax has the shortest duration of the commonly-prescribed benzodiazepines, with a strong effect for 3-4 hours and a diminishing effect for another 1-2 hours. Maintaining a steady level of the drug is very difficult if not impossible, so it's typically used to treat an attack or in anticipation of an event that may trigger an attack.

Additionally, avoid coadministration with other CNS depressants, especially opioids, unless no other alternatives are available as coadministration significantly increases the risk for respiratory depression, low blood pressure, and death. Triazolam should not be used in patients with preexisting respiratory depression, cases of shock, or coma because the drug can worsen respiratory and CNS depression. Triazolam should be used cautiously in patients who snore regularly, because partial airway obstruction may convert to obstructive sleep apnea with benzodiazepine administration.

"text": "BENZODIAZEPINESBenzodiazepines have been around since the early 1960s, and are usually prescribed for anxiety, insomnia, agitation, muscle spasms and seizures, before medical procedures, and to ease the effects of alcohol withdrawal. Today these drugs account for about one out of every five prescriptions for controlled substances. Often just called ‘benzos’, they are a class of dozens of psychoactive drugs that include a long list of brands such as Valium, Librium, and Xanax, and a very long list of generic formulas. Each has some unique properties and actions, but they all have side effects, and physical dependence needs to be watched out for. If you’re one of the millions of Americans who take prescription drugs to get to sleep, or perhaps to treat anxiety or just calm you down, you are likely taking a benzodiazepine. You may not know that benzodiazepines can lead to physical dependence—in some people in just a matter of days. Benzodiazepines ‘slow’ or ‘depress’ the central nervous system (CNS)—they are among a type of drug called a ‘CNS depressants’ that can slow or stop the heart and breathing. Because of this, their effect can dangerously increase if combined with other CNS drugs, or with alcohol which is also a CNS depressant. MOST-COMMON BENZOSAtivan Klonopin Valium Xanax ABOUT BENZODIAZEPINESBenzodiazepines are CNS depressants, like barbiturates, opioids, antipsychotics and alcohol. Benzodiazepines generally act as ‘hypnotics’ in high doses, ‘anxiolytics’ in moderate doses, and ‘sedatives’ in low doses."

This paper reviews these developments, with summary details from selected studies, and provides a preliminary comparison of lavender’s efficacy and safety to its main botanical and pharmaceutical alternatives. Introduction Anxiety is a common complaint and may range from every day stress to clinically relevant symptoms requiring medical intervention. Patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) can experience excessive anxiety and worry associated with the stresses of everyday life. Most cases of GAD begin in childhood and can lead—without treatment—to a chronic condition, with fluctuating symptoms, often exacerbated by stressful life events. 1 Disturbed sleep has been observed to be among the most frequent accompanying disorders of generalized anxiety. 2 Individuals with anxiety disorder not otherwise specified (AD NOS) also present with clinically significant symptoms, but they tend to report less worry, negative affect, depression, and comorbidity than those with GAD. 3The most commonly prescribed agents in the medical treatment of anxiety are benzodiazepines and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). 4 The well-known side effects of benzodiazepines include drowsiness, fatigue, confusion and disorientation, dizziness, decreased concentration, impaired memory, dry mouth, and blurred vision."

[ 2] It is commonly used for the treatment of anxiety disorders, especially of panic disorder, but also in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) or social anxiety disorder. [ 3] [4] It was the 12th most prescribed medicine in the United States in 2010. [ 5] Alprazolam, like other benzodiazepines, binds to specific sites on the GABA A receptor. It possesses anxiolytic, sedative, hypnotic, skeletal muscle relaxant, anticonvulsant, amnestic, and antidepressant properties. [ 6] Alprazolam is available for oral administration as compressed tablets (CT), orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) and extended-release tablets (XR). Greatest alleviation of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) may take up to a week. [ 7] [8] It has been suggested that there is tolerance to the anxiolytic and antipanic effects of the drug, but not all authorities agree; [3] [9] [10] tolerance will, however, develop to the sedative and hypnotic effects within a couple of days.

Additionally, avoid coadministration with other CNS depressants, especially opioids, when possible, as this significantly increases the risk for profound sedation, respiratory depression, low blood pressure, and death. Reserve concomitant use of these drugs for patients in whom alternative treatment options are inadequate. If concurrent use is necessary, use the lowest effective doses and minimum treatment durations possible and monitor patients closely for signs and symptoms of respiratory depression and sedation. Lorazepam injection is contraindicated in patients with sleep apnea syndrome or severe respiratory insufficiency who are not receiving mechanical ventilation. Lorazepam can cause respiratory depression, apnea, airway obstruction, and oxygen desaturation; it is more likely to cause adverse respiratory effects when administered to patients with pulmonary conditions, significant CNS depression, or ethanol intoxication. Avoid use of lorazepam in patients with active alcoholism. In addition, hypercarbia and hypoxia can occur after lorazepam administration and may pose a significant risk to patients with congenital heart disease or pulmonary hypertension.

Zopiclone is molecularly distinct from benzodiazepine drugs and is classed as a cyclopyrrolone. However, zopiclone increases the normal transmission of the neurotransmittergamma-aminobutyric acid in the central nervous system, via modulating benzodiazepine receptors in the same way that benzodiazepine drugs do. As zopiclone is sedating, it is marketed as a sleeping pill. It works by causing a depression or tranquilization of the central nervous system. After prolonged use, the body can become accustomed to the effects of zopiclone. When the dose is then reduced or the drug is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms may result. These can include a range of symptoms similar to those of benzodiazepine withdrawal. Although withdrawal from therapeutic doses of zopiclone and its isomers (i.e. eszopiclone) do not typically present with convulsions and are therefore not considered life-threatening, patients may experience such significant agitation or anxiety that they seek emergency medical attention. In the United States, zopiclone is not commercially available, [2] although its active stereoisomer, eszopiclone, is sold under the name Lunesta."

[ 3] They are central nervous depressants and interact with brain activity causing its deceleration. Various kinds of sedatives can be distinguished, but the majority of them affect the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which are brain chemicals performing communication between brain cells. In spite of the fact that each sedative acts in its own way, they produce beneficial relaxing effect by increasing GABA activity. [ 4]At higher doses it may result in slurred speech, staggering gait, poor judgment, and slow, uncertain reflexes. Doses of sedatives such as benzodiazepines, when used as a hypnotic to induce sleep, tend to be higher than amounts used to relieve anxiety, whereas only low doses are needed to provide a peaceful effect. [ 5]Sedatives can be misused to produce an overly-calming effect ( alcohol being the classic and most common sedating drug). In the event of an overdose or if combined with another sedative, many of these drugs can cause unconsciousness (see hypnotic) and even death.

Paradoxical drowsiness can sometimes occur in adults. [ 1]Antibiotics [ edit]The paradoxical effect or Eagle effect (named after H. Eagle who first described it) refers to an observation of an increase in survivors, seen when testing the activity of an antimicrobial agent. [ 2] Initially when an antibiotic agent is added to a culture media, the number of bacteria that survive drops, as one would expect. But after increasing the concentration beyond a certain point, the number of bacteria that survive, paradoxically, increases. Antidepressants [ edit]Antidepressants can rarely make users obsessively violent or have suicidal compulsions, which is in marked contrast to their intended effect. This can be regarded as a paradoxical reaction but, especially in the case of suicide, may in at least some cases be merely due to differing rates of effect with respect to different symptoms of depression: If generalized overinhibition of a patient's actions enters remission before that patient's dysphoria does and if the patient was already suicidal but too depressed to act on his/her inclinations, the patient may find him/herself in the situation of being both still dysphoric enough to want to commit suicide but newly free of endogenous barriers against doing so. [ 3] Children and adolescents are more sensitive to paradoxical reactions of self-harm and suicidal ideation while taking antidepressants but cases are still very rare. ["

In the case of benzodiazepine dependence, however, the continued use seems to be associated with the avoidance of unpleasant withdrawal reaction rather than from the pleasurable effects of the drug. [ 1] Benzodiazepine dependence develops with long-term use, even at low therapeutic doses, [2] without the described dependence behavior. [ 3] [4]Addiction, or what is sometimes referred to as psychological dependence, includes people misusing or craving the drug not to relieve withdrawal symptoms, but to experience its euphoric or intoxicating effects. It is important to distinguish between addiction and drug abuse of benzodiazepines and normal physical dependence on benzodiazepines. The increased GABA Ainhibition caused by benzodiazepines is counteracted by the body's development of tolerance to the drug's effects; the development of tolerance occurs as a result of neuroadaptations, which result in decreased GABA inhibition and increased excitability of the glutamate system; these adaptations occur as a result of the body trying to overcome the central nervous system depressant effects of the drug to restore homeostasis."

Because of this, the infant may need to stay in the hospital for observation and monitoring for up to a week. Withdrawing from different drugs, including prescribed medications, and nicotine from smoking, produces its own signs and symptoms in the infant. Neonatal abstinence syndrome may occur when a pregnant woman takes opioids such as heroin, codeine, oxycodone, methadone or buprenorphine. Benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and certain antidepressants ( SSRIs) can cause dependence in the infant while in the womb. [ 3] The severity of the withdrawal symptoms in the neonate can be affected by the route of administration used by the mother.

Because the half-life of diazepam and nordiazepam are long, timing breastfeeding with respect to the dose is of little or no benefit in reducing infant exposure. Other agents are preferred, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant. After a single dose of diazepam, as for sedation before a procedure, there is usually no need to wait to resume breastfeeding, although with a newborn or preterm infant, a cautious approach would be to wait a period of 6 to 8 hours before resuming nursing. Drug Levels Diazepam is metabolized to the active metabolites nordiazepam (desmethyldiazepam) and temazepam, which are in turn metabolized to the active metabolite oxazepam. Maternal Levels.

[ 3] It works by inducing sleepiness, decreasing anxiety, and causing a loss of ability to create new memories. [ 3] It is also useful for the treatment of seizures. [ 5] Midazolam can be given by mouth, intravenously, or injection into a muscle, by spraying into the nose, or through the cheek. [ 3] [5] When given intravenously, it typically begins working within five minutes; when injected into a muscle, it can take fifteen minutes to begin working. [ 3] Effects last for between one and six hours. [ 3]Side effects can include a decrease in efforts to breathe, low blood pressure, and sleepiness. [ 3] Tolerance to its effects and withdrawal syndrome may occur following long-term use. [ 6] Paradoxical effects, such as increased activity, can occur especially in children and older people. [ 6] There is evidence of risk when used during pregnancy but no evidence of harm with a single dose during breastfeeding. ["

Convulsions produced in rodents by pentylenetetrazol or, to a lesser extent, electrical stimulation are antagonized, as are convulsions produced by photic stimulation in susceptible baboons. A taming effect in aggressive primates, muscle weakness and hypnosis are also produced. In humans, Clonazepam is capable of suppressing the spike and wave discharge in absence seizures (petit mal) and decreasing the frequency, amplitude, duration and spread of discharge in minor motor seizures. Pharmacokinetics: Clonazepam is rapidly and completely absorbed after oral administration. The absolute bioavailability of Clonazepam is about 90%."

"text": "\"Mechanisms of Drug Entry into Human Milk The amount of drug excreted into milk depends on a number of kinetic factors: 1) the lipid solubility of the drug, 2) the molecular size of the drug, 3) the blood level attained in the maternal circulation, 4) protein binding in the maternal circulation, 5) oral bioavailability in the infant, and the mother, and 6) the half-life in the maternal and infant's plasma compartments. Using these kinetic terms, one can frequently estimate the probability that a medications will enter will. But the only true test is the research studies published in the literature. With these in hand, we can frequently estimate the absolute dosage an infant will receive from his/her mother's milk. But remember, all patients are unique, and wide variations can exist. Early Postpartum: Drugs enter milk primarily by diffusion, but also by secretory methods. They pass from the maternal plasma compartment through the capillary walls into the alveolar cell lining the milk buds. They must generally pass through both walls of the alveolar cells to penetrate milk. During the first 4 to 10 days of life, large gaps between alveolar cells exist. These gaps permit enhanced access for most drugs, many immunoglobulins, maternal lymphocytes, and other maternal proteins to the milk."

Getting a good night's rest and following a regular sleeping schedule is an important part of maintaining both your physical health as well as mental health. Recently, the FDA has sent warnings to pharmaceutical companies that manufacture common sleeping pills to change their product labels to include potential sleeping pills side effects that have posed some serious risks to consumers who suffer from insomnia. In 2005, 43 million prescriptions for sleeping pills were filled by pharmacists, providing pharmaceutical companies with $2.7 billion for that year alone, marking a 32% increase from 2001. But are sleeping pills a safe way to treat sleep disorders? And what exactly causes insomnia? Would finding an alternative to sleeping pills for the treatment of sleep disorders provide a better solution for you? Sleep Disorders and Sleeping Pills According to the American Insomnia Association, approximately 20 000 Americans suffer from chronic insomnia, a sleep disorder that is defined by consistent poor sleep that is experienced for at least six months due to a variety of insomnia causes. Generally, the causes of insomnia are due to lifestyle factors such as stress, travel, or other disruptions that can cause sleep deprivation. Treating the underlying causes of insomnia directly is always considered the best solution when it comes to sleep disorders."

In a series of never-before-seen letters obtained by Page Six, Mark David Chapman details to NYPD officer Steve Spiro his deranged mind. He first wrote in 1983 that he ‘wanted to be friends’ with Officer Spiro, and asked if the cop would locate Chapman’s copy of ‘The Catcher in the Rye,’ which he had on him during the murder and was lost during Chapman’s arrest. The letters, which are being sold by Gary Zimet’s Moments in Time, which sells rare or historic documents, are valued at around $75,000. According to Page Six, Cha pman sent three typed letters to the NYPD officer. At the end of one, he mused that Mr Spiro was ‘still the best d*** cop in New York City. ’Chapman also eerily said: ‘We were all part of something big, Steve,’ adding that something ‘phenomenal’ was all going to ‘come out. ’In one of his letters, Chapman compared a self-immolating woman in Saigon to his belief in J. D. Salinger’s influential novel, saying that the poems found on her body were her legacy. ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ is my statement,’ Chapman wrote.

"text": "\"When is \"\"Dog the Bounty Hunter\"\" coming back to Hawaii? By Chris Bailey Jan 7, 2010HAWAII Magazine reader Sharon of Venice, Fla writes: I love the reality show Dog the Bounty Hunter, but am disappointed that they are still filming in Colorado. Those guys look best in their Oahu surroundings. When will they start filming in Hawaii? You ask. We answer. Good news for Dog faithful, the affable bounty hunter will soon return to Hawaii for more Island adventures. The reality show—which chronicles the operations of Duane “Dog” Chapman and his family of bounty hunters at Honolulu’s Da Kine Bail Bonds—recently shot several new episodes in the Islands, according to a representative for the show. Production is now on hiatus, but will resume in mid-January, when the Da Kine team will travel between Hawaii and Colorado—Chapman’s home state. Dog’s not Hawaii-born, but currently lives with wife Beth in the east Oahu neighborhood of Hawaii Kai."

"text": "Dog the Bounty Hunter: A&E Series Cancelledby Trevor Kimball, May 21, 2012There won’t be a ninth season for Dog the Bounty Hunter. The A&E TV series has been cancelled by the cable channel. The reality show follows Duane “Dog” Chapman and his family as they work as fugitive-recovery agents across the country. Dog’s team includes his wife Beth, their grown sons (Duane Lee Chapman, II and Leland Chapman), daughter “Baby” Lyssa, and Dog’s unrelated “brother,” Tim “Youngblood” Chapman. The show was inspired by Chapman’s appearance on Take This Job, a series about people with unusual occupations. Debuting in 2004, Dog the Bounty Hunter became a valuable property for A&E and versions of the show have been seen in various international markets. Over the course of the eight seasons, the show has had plenty of backstage drama. In 2011, Duane Lee and Leland quit and severed ties with the family. In September 2011, Bobby Brown, who’d appeared in 30 episodes of the show, sued because he said that he’d been promised that he’d become a full castmember but it didn’t happen. The final episodes of Dog the Bounty Hunter will start airing on Saturday, June 2nd, with a pair of installments, “Luck be a Lady” parts one and two."

An especially rare type of bezoar caused by persimmons has recently been described – disopyrobezoar - these are considered to be harder than any other types of gastric bezoars. There are several possible pathological situations in which gastric bezoars can occur, since they are not common in healthy people - these include surgical procedures, systemic pathology that causes delayed gastric emptying such as diabetes mellitus, mixed connective tissue disease, and hypothyroidism. Gastric bezoars are usually asymptomatic, although unspecific symptoms may appear. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, weight loss, feeling of gastric fullness and foul breath. Phytobezoars are more common in male patients, whereas tricobezoars are more common in females. Traditionally, gastric bezoars were treated surgically; nowadays their management is preferentially conservative. Treatments include chemical dissolution, endoscopy or gastric suction."

"text": "Keywords: SBO = small bowel obstruction Introduction Section: Choose prevnext Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common clinical condition that occurs secondary to mechanical or functional obstruction of the small bowel, preventing normal transit of its contents. It is a frequent cause of hospitalization and surgical consultation, representing 20% of all surgical admissions for acute abdominal pain ( 1, 2 ). The radiologic investigation of patients with SBO and the indications for and timing of surgical intervention have changed over the past two decades ( 3 ). The old paradigm of the general surgeon when confronted with a possible SBO was to “never let the sun set or rise on an obstructed bowel.” This approach reflected the clinical and radiologic limitations of the preoperative recognition of strangulation ( 4 ). Nowadays, owing to the increased application of advanced modalities of abdominal imaging in the clinical context of SBO, combined with the widespread assumption that most of these conditions resolve spontaneously with nonsurgical treatment, namely nasointestinal decompression ( 5 ), imaging has become the primary focus in the treatment of patients with SBO. Therefore, radiology assumes considerable relevance in assisting the therapeutic decision of the surgeon in cases of SBO by addressing the following questions ( 6 ): Is the small bowel obstructed? How severe is the obstruction, where is it located, and what is its cause? Is strangulation present? Plain abdominal radiography continues to be the initial examination in these patients due to its wide availability and relatively low cost."

There may also be a total loss of nerve and muscle movement in the stomach and intestines; therefore gravity continues the path for the food through the gastrointestinal organs. Patients may also be diagnosed with a more rare form of Gastroparesis called- Idiopathic Gastroparesis in which there is no known cause. * Gastroparesis is most commonly caused by diabetes, but can also be hereditary or occur as a result of surgery on the stomach or vagus nerve, viral infections, food poisoning, medications that slow contractions in the intestines such as anticholinergics and narcotics, gastric bypass, lapband, gastric sleeve surgery, smooth muscle disorders, Gastroesophageal reflux disease, metabolic disorders, autoimmune disorders, chemo/radiation therapy, Bells Palsy syndrome, Ramsey Hunt syndrome, Mitochondrial disease, Scleroderma, Amyloidosis, MS/Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, ALS/Lou Gehrig's disease, stroke, Anorexia nervosa and Bulimia. Many people have what is called I diopathic Gastroparesis, meaning the cause is unknown and cannot be found. * Symptoms of Gastroparesis may include chronic or intermittent nausea, heartburn, reflux of food and liquids into the esophagus, difficulty swallowing, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) after a meal following high blood glucose, constipation or diarrhea, weight loss, vomiting, early satiety, abdominal distention (bloating) after eating that seems to linger due to hours or days of undigested food, abdominal pain, hair loss, insomnia, acid reflux, GERD, dehydration, and malnutrition. Other consequences and complications include the erratic absorption of medicines taken by mouth, electrolyte imbalance (electrolytes include salts such as sodium and potassium), and potentially even coma or death. * Diagnosing Gastroparesis is commonly first with the patients medical history. Any prior ulcer disease, gastric surgery, other medical illnesses or current medications can be an effective first tool."

Gastroparesis develops when the vagus nerve – which normally controls the transportation of food from the stomach through the digestive tract – is damaged. As a result, intestinal and stomach muscles fail to initiate the strong contractions necessary to propel food along (peristaltic wave action). This causes food to move too slowly, and can even prevent food from making its way through the digestive tract. This disruption of the digestive cycle interferes with proper digestion, and can upset blood sugar levels and nutritional intake, and cause nausea and vomiting. Discover The #1 Way To Support Healthier Digestion What Causes Gastroparesis? Although gastroparesis can occur as a result of direct damage to the stomach muscles, vagus nerve damage itself is the leading cause of delayed gastric emptying. Factors that can damage nerves or stomach muscles: Cancer treatments Diabetes, types 1 or 2Gastroesophageal reflux disease Medical conditions such as anorexia and bulimia; smooth muscle disorders such as amyloidosis and scleroderma; nervous system disease such as Parkinson’s and abdominal migraine; metabolic disorders such as hypothyroidism; and flu or other viral illness Medications such as narcotics, anticholinergics (medicines that calm intestinal muscle spasms), tricyclic anti-depressants, calcium channel blockers, antacids that contain aluminum hydroxide, some high blood pressure medications, and the psychiatric drug lithium 1Surgery involving the esophagus, stomach, or upper part of the small intestine Signs and Symptoms of Gastroparesis Gastroparesis is sometimes difficult to diagnose as sufferers experience a range of symptoms: some mild, others severe, frequent in some people, and less so in others. These include,Abdominal bloating Changes in blood sugar levels Early feeling of fullness after eating just a few bites Heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux Lack of appetite Nausea Pain in the upper abdomen Spasms in the stomach area Vomiting of undigested food, sometimes several hours after a meal Weight loss and malnutrition due to poor absorption of nutrients or low calorie intake These symptoms are sometimes exacerbated by consumption of fatty foods, high-fat/high-carbonation beverages, and high-fiber foods such as vegetables and fruits. Gastroparesis Complications Bacterial overgrowth and bezoars: Food that stays in the stomach too long can cause bacterial overgrowth from the fermentation of food, and disrupt gut flora balance."

The small amounts of the sulfated disaccharide that are absorbed are excreted primarily in the urine. Although the mechanism of Sucralfate’s ability to accelerate healing of duodenal ulcers remains to be fully defined, it is known that it exerts its effect through a local, rather than systemic, action. The following observations also appear pertinent: Studies in human subjects and with animal models of ulcer disease have shown that Sucralfate forms an ulcer-adherent complex with proteinaceous exudate at the ulcer site. In vitro, a Sucralfate-albumin film provides a barrier to diffusion of hydrogen ions."

"text": "Gastroparesis Basics Podcasts/Videos Overview Gastroparesis literally translated means “stomach paralysis”. Gastroparesis is a digestive disorder in which the motility of the stomach is either abnormal or absent. In healthy people, when the stomach is functioning normally, contractions of the stomach help to crush ingested food and then propel the pulverized food into the small intestine where further digestion and absorption of nutrients occurs. When the condition of gastroparesis is present the stomach is unable to contract normally, and therefore cannot crush food nor propel food into the small intestine properly. Normal digestion may not occur. Symptoms Symptoms of gastroparesis include bloating, nausea, early fullness while eating meals, heartburn, and epigastric pain. These symptoms are often referred to as dyspepsia. Ingestion of solid foods, high fiber foods such as raw fruits and vegetables, fatty foods or drinks high in fat or carbonation may cause symptoms. Perhaps the most common symptom is early satiety, or the sensation of feeling full shortly after starting a meal. Nausea and vomiting are also common."

"text": "\"Home > Health Library Gastroparesis<< Back to Digestive Disorders Gastroparesis, also called gastric stasis, occurs when there is delayed gastric emptying. Delayed gastric emptying means the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. Sometimes, when the food doesn’t empty properly, it forms a solid mass called a bezoar. Although bezoars had magical powers in the Harry Potter books, usually these big masses of old food can block the stomach and lead to symptoms of nausea, vomiting and even obstruction of the stomach, which in turn may prevent food from passing into the small intestine. Gastroparesis Symptoms Gastroparesis often causes a number of nonspecific symptoms. It is important for a gastroenterologist to make a diagnosis. Symptoms of gastroparesis include: An early feeling of fullness Bloating Nausea Anorexia Vomiting Abdominal pain Weight loss Gastroparesis Diagnosis at Johns Hopkins At Johns Hopkins, we believe that working as a team provides the best possible outcome for patients.

Most common causes of SBO In adults, postoperative adhesions are the most common cause of SBO, producing up to two thirds of cases (26% to 64%); next are incarcerated hernia (6% to 21%) and neoplasms. Inflammatory bowel disease, diverticulitis, gallstone ileus, and bezoars are other less common causes of SBO. What are the three most salient features of SBO on history, and why is it important to recognize them? history of abdominal pain, obstipation, and emesis typify SBO. More frequently than not the diagnosis must be made by history alone because the physical examination and laboratory tests are not diagnostic. Why is testing for blood in stools important? Heme-positive stool may be an early indication of ischemic bowel."

"text": "Korean Spoken by approximately 78 million people around the world, the Korean language has an intriguing linguistic and cultural history. With the Korean language’s obscure history, experience with suppression and a past peppered with unresolved questions, the fact that it remains one of the world’s oldest living languages is all the more impressive. History of the Korean Language: From Hanja to Hangul Beginning in the 5th century AD, the Korean language was originally written in hanja, borrowed Chinese characters that were spoken with a unique Korean pronunciation. This continued until 1443, when King Sejong the Great commissioned a group of scholars to help him devise a Korean language alphabet that all of the Korean people could use. The decision to develop an alphabet that could be used by all the Korean peoples was revolutionary at that time. Before this, only Korea’s upper class utilized hanja because, unlike the lower classes, they were educated to read and write in Chinese. King Sejong’s alphabet was considered onmun, or “vulgar letters,” by the Japanese, and it was actually banned when Japan colonized Korea in the early 20th century. King Sejong’s original alphabet was revived after World War II, however, and from then on referred to as Hangul, or “top letters. ”King Sejong’s Korean Writing System A number of theories exist as to how King Sejong developed the Korean writing system based on Hangul, which still serves as the Korean language’s primary writing system to this day. Some linguists believe that Hangul was based on the characters of the Mongolian writing system of his time."

"text": "\"A new multiple launch rocket system is test fired in Pyongyang [REUTERS]Last Monday the North Korean government told the world that we should ready ourselves for a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula. According to the official statement, North Korean armed forces \"\"have a military operation plan of our style to liberate south Korea and strike the US mainland\"\". Usually, news editors love such statements from Pyongyang - they make for catchy headlines, after all - while North Korea watchers meet this bellicosity with indifference. Such statements are made a little too regularly. United Nations condemns Pyongyang for rocket launch In 2013, North Korean TV showed Kim Jong-Un in front a large map indicating targets for North Korean nuclear strikes; these included not only Washington and New York, but also, curiously, Austin, Texas. This time, things might be more serious. Pyongyang may have no intention to start a nuclear war, but recent developments make a confrontation in Korea more likely than ever. Game changer The game changer is the UN Security Council Resolution 2270, which was passed on March 2 in response to a nuclear test North Korea conducted in January, followed by a missile launch in February. Resolution 2270 is much tougher than earlier resolutions and is, essentially, unprecedented.

"text": "Constitution The Bill Of Rights And The Importance Of Limited Government By Edward White 4 yrs. ago On December 15, 1791, the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution) were ratified by the states. The Bill of Rights were added to the Constitution to address fears raised by the Anti-Federalists during the ratification of the Constitution that the Constitution did not provide sufficient protection against abuses of power by the federal government. James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, originally did not think a Bill of Rights was necessary. He thought the Constitution gave no power to the federal government that would allow for a violation of the rights of the people. Madison later changed his position, persuaded mainly by Thomas Jefferson, and, with the help of others, drafted twenty amendments that were proposed to the first United States Congress in 1789. Twelve of the proposed amendments were accepted by Congress and were then sent to the states for ratification. Only ten were ratified. These ten amendments list our basic rights and place limits on the federal government. They include the freedoms of speech and religion, the right to bear arms, the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, and an assurance that the powers not delegated to the federal government in the Constitution are reserved to the states and the people."

S. and Cuba will ease travel restrictions between the two countries U. S. contractor Alan Gross, held by the Cuban government since 2009, was freed Wednesday as part of a landmark deal with Cuba that paves the way for a major overhaul in U. S. policy toward the island, senior administration officials tell CNN. President Barack Obama spoke with Cuban President Raul Castro Tuesday in a phone call that lasted about an hour and reflected the first communication at the presidential level with Cuba since the Cuban revolution, according to White House officials. Obama announced Gross' release and the new diplomatic stance at noon in Washington. At around the same time, Cuban president Raul Castro was set to speak in Havana. President Obama announced a major loosening of travel and economic restrictions on the country. And the two nations are set to re-open embassies, with preliminary discussions on that next step in normalizing diplomatic relations beginning in the coming weeks, a senior administration official tells CNN. Talks between the U. S. and Cuba have been ongoing since June of 2013 and were facilitated by the Canadians and the Vatican in brokering the deal. Pope Francis -- the first pope from Latin America -- encouraged Obama in a letter and in their meeting this year to renew talks with Cuba on pursuing a closer relationship. Gross' \"\"humanitarian\"\" release by Cuba was accompanied by a separate spy swap, the officials said. Cuba also freed a U. S. intelligence source who has been jailed in Cuba for more than 20 years, although authorities did not identify that person for security reasons."

During 2017 those members are: Bolivia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Senegal, Sweden, Ukraine, and Uruguay. The presidency of the council rotates monthly, according to the English alphabetical listing of its member states. Functions Under Article 26 of the UN Charter, in order to promote the establishment and maintenance of international peace and security with the least diversion for armaments of the world’s human and economic resources, the Security Council shall be responsible for formulating, with the assistance of the Military Staff Committee, plans to be submitted to the UN members for the establishment of a system for the regulation of armaments. Compliance Under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, Article 39, the Security Council can determine a “threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression and may recommend, or decide what measures to take, whether economic, political, or use of force, to maintain or restore international peace and security. ”The UNSC has established two committees that act under Chapter VII of the UN Charter: the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) and the 1540 Committee. The CTC prepares a preliminary implementation assessment (PIA) that provides an overview of the counter-terrorism situation in each Member State, which are then used to survey each country’s implementation of Resolution 1373 (2001). Since 2005, CTC has been carrying out on-site visits to follow up on countries’ implementation of the resolution and to determine what type of assistance a State may need to implement the resolution. The UNSC oversees the work of the Committee and hears briefings from the Committee Chairman at open meetings. The 1540 Committee is charged with imposing binding obligations on States to establish controls to prevent non-State actors from “developing, acquiring, manufacturing, possessing, transporting, transferring or using nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and their delivery systems."

Mr Kim was speaking after twin tests on Wednesday of the Hwasong-10 missile, known internationally as the Musudan. The US and South Korea say the first test failed, but the second travelled about 400km (250 miles) and reached an altitude of 1,000km. The UN Security Council expressed its opposition after an emergency meeting. Alexis Lamek, France's deputy UN ambassador, said all 15 members had \"\"expressed a strong concern as well as their opposition to these launches,\"\" Reuters reports. A spokesman for Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said the tests were \"\"a deliberate and very grave violation\"\" of North Korea's international obligations.

Posted by Dave Halliday Just a few days ago, a car loaded with explosives attempted to get access to the First Evangelical Church Winning All in Kaduna, Nigeria. However, the suicide bomber’s car with a military uniform folded on the back seat was turned away at a barricade. As he drove away, the massive bomb exploded outside a hotel opposite the church. At last count 39 people were dead, 125 wounded, many of them taxi drivers parked at the hotel. The massive explosion blew in the windows of the nearby All Nations Christian Assembly Church. But more than 200 children attending Sunday school at the targeted First Evangelical Church Winning All escaped injury – “by the grace of God,” church leaders told Nigeria’s Sun newspaper. Moments later, another suicide bomber hit Christ the King Catholic Church building in nearby Zaria, killing another 12. A third attack struck the Shalom Church in Kaduna City, killing 10. A car burns at the site of the first explosion By the end of the week, 138 Nigerian Christians had been killed in subsequent attacks."

The country in this period was plagued by political and economic chaos, which arose from a variety of causes. The after effects of the Japanese occupation were still felt in the occupation zone, as well as in the Soviet zone in the North. [ 1] Popular discontent stemmed from the U. S. Military Government's support of the Japanese colonial government; then once removed, keeping the former Japanese governors on as advisors; by ignoring, censoring and forcibly disbanding the functional and popular People's Republic of Korea (PRK); and finally by supporting United Nations elections that divided the country. [ 1]In addition, the U. S. military was largely unprepared for the challenge of administering the country, arriving with no knowledge of the language or political situation. [ 2] Thus, many of their policies had unintended destabilizing effects."

"text": "\"Summary: Could the current global nuclear order be as fragile today as the financial order was two years ago when conventional wisdom declared it sound, stable, and resilient? Analyzing facts on the ground in Iran, Pakistan, and North Korea, it is clear that trendlines are propelling us powerfully towards what former Secretaries of Defense Perry and Schlesinger's 2009 Commission Report calls a \"\"tipping point\"\" for proliferation and nuclear terrorism. President Obama has undertaken the most substantial effort to bend these trendlines since JFK in the aftermath of his existential experience of nuclear danger in the Cuban missile crisis. In President Obama's words, \"\"The next twelve months could be pivotal in determining whether the nonproliferation regime will be strengthened or will slowly dissolve. \"\" The global nuclear order today could be as fragile as the global financial order was two years ago, when conventional wisdom declared it to be sound, stable, and resilient. In the aftermath of the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, a confrontation that he thought had one chance in three of ending in nuclear war, U. S. President John F. Kennedy concluded that the nuclear order of the time posed unacceptable risks to mankind. \"\" I see the possibility in the 1970s of the president of the United States having to face a world in which 15 or 20 or 25 nations may have these weapons,\"\" he forecast. \"\" I regard that as the greatest possible danger.\"\" Kennedy's estimate reflected the general expectation that as nations acquired the advanced technological capability to build nuclear weapons, they would do so. Although history did not proceed along that trajectory, Kennedy's warning helped awaken the world to the intolerable dangers of unconstrained nuclear proliferation."

Add North Korea as an interest to stay up to date on the latest North Korea news, video, and analysis from ABC News. North Korea Add Interest China on Friday tightened limits on critically important energy supplies to North Korea and stepped up other trade restrictions under intensified U. N. nuclear sanctions. Beijing said it will limit exports of crude oil and refined petroleum to the North. Previous curbs didn't apply to crude oil, which makes up the bulk of China's energy exports to the North. China accounts for nearly all of Pyongyang's energy supplies and trade, making its enforcement key to sanctions aimed at discouraging leader Kim Jong Un from pursuing nuclear and missile technology. The Security Council tightened sanctions on the North following its ballistic missile test on Nov. 29. Beijing was long Pyongyang's diplomatic protector but has supported the U. N. sanctions out of frustration with what Chinese leaders see as their neighbor's increasingly reckless behavior. Despite the loss of almost all trade, the impoverished North has pressed ahead with weapons development that Kim's regime sees as necessary for its survival in the face of U. S. pressure. China has steadily increased economic pressure on Pyongyang while calling for dialogue to defuse the increasingly acrimonious dispute with U. S. President Donald Trump's government."

Reared in Scottish Presbyterian heritage, his family believed in strict observance of moral values, but also took time to laugh at his father’s many jokes. Billy Graham’s childhood home in Charlotte, North Carolina The Grahams instilled a strong work ethic in their children. Often their Big Ben alarm clock woke them at 2:30 a.m. to work the farm. Billy’s job was to milk twenty cows every morning and afternoon, as well as shovel warm manure and refill feed troughs with fresh hay from the barn. Once, while visiting an aunt, all the children were ordered to spend time reading the Bible. After about ten minutes, Billy declared, “I just read a whole book in the Bible.” ( Little did his aunt realize that Billy had discovered the Epistle of Jude, the shortest book in the New Testament! ) Billy Graham as a teenager As a teen Billy attended his first Dr. Mordecai Fowler Ham evangelistic meeting expecting to see a good fight as some students at a local high school threatened to disrupt the meeting and maybe even physically harm Dr. Ham."

Throughout the twentieth century, most nations that developed nuclear weapons tested them. Testing nuclear weapons can yield information about how the weapons work, as well as how the weapons behave under various conditions and how personnel, structures, and equipment behave when subjected to nuclear explosions. Nuclear testing has often been used as an indicator of scientific and military strength, and many tests have been overtly political in their intention; most nuclear weapons states publicly declared their nuclear status by means of a nuclear test. The first nuclear device was detonated as a test by the United States at the Trinity site on July 16, 1945, with a yield approximately equivalent to 20 kilotons of TNT. The first thermonuclear weapon technology test of engineer device, codenamed \"\" Ivy Mike \"\", was tested at the Enewetak Atoll in the Marshall Islands on November 1, 1952 (local date), also by the United States. The largest nuclear weapon ever tested was the \"\" Tsar Bomba \"\" of the Soviet Union at Novaya Zemlya on October 30, 1961, with the largest yield ever seen, an estimated 50–58 megatons. In 1963, three (UK, US, Soviet Union) of the four nuclear states and many non-nuclear states signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty, pledging to refrain from testing nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, underwater, or in outer space. The treaty permitted underground nuclear testing. France continued atmospheric testing until 1974, and China continued until 1980."

"text": "Hercules Constellation Hercules constellation is located in the northern sky. It was named after Hercules, the Roman version of the Greek hero Heracles. Heracles, in turn, was often associated with the Sumerian hero Gilgamesh, and the constellation itself has a long history, dating back to Sumerian times. Hercules is the fifth largest constellation in the sky, but has no first magnitude stars. In traditional depictions, the star Ras Algethi (Alpha Herculis) represents Hercules’ head and a prominent asterism, the Keystone, marks his torso, as he stands victoriously on Draco’s head. In mythology, the constellation Hercules is usually associated with the penultimate labour of Heracles, which involved killing the dragon Ladon, who guarded the garden of the Hesperides. The dragon is represented by the constellation Draco. Hercules constellation was first catalogued by the Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century. Notable deep sky objects in Hercules include the Great Globular Cluster ( Messier 13 ), the globular cluster Messier 92, the planetary nebulae Abell 39 and NGC 6210, the Hercules Cluster of galaxies, and the galaxy cluster Abell 2199.

"text": "\"Star Names: Auriga Please hover over any star to get more information Auriga or \"\"the Charioteer\"\" is a constellation in the northern hemisphere, first documented by Greek astronomer Ptolemy in the 2nd century. The constellation's shape resembles the pointed helmet of a charioteer. In Greek mythology, Auriga is sometimes identified with Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths and craftsmen, who invented the chariot, and it is also often associated with Myrtilus. Myrtilus, son of the god Hermes, was the charioteer who served king Oenomaus and sabotaged his chariot so that his daughter's suitor might win the race for her hand. Another Greek hero traditionally associated with Auriga is Erichthonius of Athens, son of Hephaestus, who was the first person to harness four horses to a chariot, inventing the quadriga, the four-horse chariot, which helped him fight off an usurper and made him the king of Athens. The fourth identification is Theseus' son Hippolytus, whose stepmother Phaedra hanged herself after being rejected by him. Theseus subsequently banished him from Athens and, as Hippolytus drove away, his chariot was wrecked and killed him. In Chinese astronomy, the four main stars of Auriga – [715] alpha, [716] beta, [717] theta and [718] iota Aurigae – along with [7932] beta Tauri, form the constellation Wu Che, or \"\"five chariots,\"\" one for each celestial emperor. The Auriga constellation occupies an area of 657 square degrees and contains six stars with known planets. It can be seen at latitudes between +90° and -40° and is best visible at 9 p.m. in late February and early March."

Based upon the observations of 16th century Dutch explorer Pieter Keyzer, Volans is one of 12 new constellations included by Petrus Plancius in his celestial globe of 1598 that were later used by Johannes Bayer in his star atlas Uranometria (1603), thus assuring their general acceptance amongst astronomers. The constellation’s brightest star is Beta Volantis, an orange giant found 107 light-years distant of magnitude 3.77. Location Volans is the 76th largest constellation in the night sky, and can be viewed between latitudes of +15° and -90°, although best seen during the month of March. The constellation can be found north of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), while to its west can be seen the night sky’s second brightest stars, Canopus in Carina. Other constellation’s bordering Volans includes Chamaeleon, Dorado, Mensa and Pictor. Bayer Constellation Family Volans is a member of the Johann Bayer family of constellations, together with Apus, Chamaeleon, Dorado, Grus, Hydrus, Indus, Musca, Pavo, Phoenix and Tucana. History The constellation represents the flying fish that were often seen being hunted by predatory dolphinfish by 16th century European navigators while sailing through tropical waters. Volans is similarly depicted as being chased by Dorado (“dolphinfish”) in the celestial heavens. Dutch cartographer Petrus Plancius (1552–1622) called the constellation Vliegendenvis, which in his native language means flying fish, while Johann Bayer Latinized its name to Piscis Volans."

"text": "\"Transit Date of principal star: 29 May As mentioned regarding Orion, Gaia may have sent the scorpion to kill the mighty hunter, as he had vowed to rid the earth of all wild animals. Or Apollo might have told Gaia of Orion's boast, fearful that Orion had designs on Apollo's sister Artemis. In any case it was Gaia who sent the scorpion to kill Orion. Later the animal would chase Orion across the heavens, but it could never catch him, for the scorpion was so placed that it would rise in the east only after Orion had safely disappeared over the western horizon. Scorpius is one of the oldest constellations known - possibly even one of the original six signs of the zodiac. While the sun still traverses Scorpius, it only takes nine days to do so; most of the time is spent in neighbouring Ophiuchus (which is the only constellation that the sun enters but which is not a part of the zodiac). The asterism of a gigantic skewed \"\"S\"\" was seen in many ancient cultures as a scorpion, possibly handed down by cultural conquest or influence. The two stars lambda and upsilon, both called \"\"The Sting\"\" in Arabic, traditionally form the stinger, although some star maps currently show the nearby \"\"G Scorpii\"\" as one of the stingers. We have recently changed our graphic to reflect the original stingers. The constellation was once much larger, but the western portion representing the claws of the scorpion was given to Libra."

Credit: USGSNutrient Cycle Nutrient cycling is one of the most important processes that occur in an ecosystem. The nutrient cycle describes the use, movement, and recycling of nutrients in the environment. Valuable elements such as carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorus, and nitrogen are essential to life and must be recycled in order for organisms to exist. Nutrient cycles are inclusive of both living and non-living components and involve biological, geological, and chemical processes. For this reason, these nutrient circuits are known as biogeochemical cycles. Biogeochemical Cycles Biogeochemical cycles can be categorized into two main types: global cycles and local cycles. Elements such as carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen are recycled through abiotic environments including the atmosphere, water, and soil. Since the atmosphere is the main abiotic environment from which these elements are harvested, their cycles are of a global nature. These elements may travel over large distances before they are taken up by biological organisms."

"text": "A simple diagram of parts of the carbon cycle, emphasizing the terrestrial (land-based) parts of the cycle. Credit: UCARThere are a few types of atoms that can be a part of a plant one day, an animal the next day, and then travel downstream as a part of a river’s water the following day. These atoms can be a part of both living things like plants and animals, as well as non-living things like water, air, and even rocks. The same atoms are recycled over and over in different parts of the Earth. This type of cycle of atoms between living and non-living things is known as a biogeochemical cycle. All of the atoms that are building blocks of living things are a part of biogeochemical cycles. The most common of these are the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Tiny atoms of carbon and nitrogen are able to move around the planet through these cycles. For example, an atom of carbon is absorbed from the air into the ocean water where it is used by little floating plankton doing photosynthesis to get the nutrition they need. There is the possibility that this little carbon atom becomes part of the plankton’s skeleton, or a part of the skeleton of the larger animal that eats it, and then part of a sedimentary rock when the living things die and only bones are left behind."

But it's important to distinguish between the natural greenhouse effect and potential human impacts on it (the 'anthropogenic' greenhouse effect). Remember that, in the absence of the natural greenhouse effect, global temperatures would be too low to sustain life as we know it. The naturally-occurring greenhouse effect is due to the fact that a number of gases in the atmosphere absorb infra-red radiation (heat) emitted from the Earth's surface: instead of being radiated into space, this heat warms the atmosphere. These gases include water vapour, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2 O), and ozone (O 3) . Methane makes up just 0.00017% of the Earth's atmosphere. However, it is an important greenhouse gas, with a much greater warming potential than CO2. Methane is generated through anaerobic decay of organic material The amount of methane in the atmosphere is the result of a balance between production on the surface and destruction in the atmosphere. CH 4 remains in the atmosphere for between 8 and 12 years. It's removed by being oxidised in the troposphere, first to carbon monoxide (CO) and finally to CO 2 and hydrogen gas (H 2 ).return to top Anthropogenic greenhouse gases However, human activities generate additional 'greenhouse gases'."

Explain how human activities can cause an imbalance in biogeochemical cycling and lead to problems such as cultural eutrophication and fish kills. Eutrophication is a naturally occurring, slow, and inevitable process. However, when it is accelerated by human activity and water pollution called cultural eutrophication, it can lead to the premature aging and death of a body of water. Cultural eutrophication occurs when humans speed up the aging process by allowing excessive amounts of nutrients in such forms as sewage, detergents, and fertilizers to enter the ecosystem. 2. Compare and contrast the traits and growth patterns of opportunistic versus equilibrium populations. Opportunistic species use the r-strategy. They produce millions of eggs and sperm since only a small percent will actually meet, join, and become offspring. Opportunistic species are often the first to colonize a new environment with a “boom and burst” growth pattern, with a short life cycle."

What is the importance of water, carbon and nitrogen for living organisms? Water is the main solvent for living organisms and it is necessary for almost all biochemical reactions, including as reagent of photosynthesis. Many properties of water are very important for life. Carbon is the main chemical element of organic molecules; carbon dioxide is also reagent of photosynthesis and a product of the energy metabolism of living organisms. Nitrogen is a fundamental chemical element of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins that are in turn the main functional molecules of living organisms; nitrogen is also part of nucleic acid molecules, which are the basis for reproduction, heredity and protein synthesis."

"text": "Sulfur Cycle Sulfur (S), the tenth most abundant element in the universe, is a brittle, yellow, tasteless, and odorless non-metallic element. It comprises many vitamins, proteins, and hormones that play critical roles in both climate and in the health of various ecosystems. The majority of the Earth’s sulfur is stored underground in rocks and minerals, including as sulfate salts buried deep within ocean sediments. The sulfur cycle contains both atmospheric and terrestrial processes. Within the terrestrial portion, the cycle begins with the weathering of rocks, releasing the stored sulfur. The sulfur then comes into contact with air where it is converted into sulfate (SO4). The sulfate is taken up by plants and microorganisms and is converted into organic forms; animals then consume these organic forms through foods they eat, thereby moving the sulfur through the food chain. As organisms die and decompose, some of the sulfur is again released as a sulfate and some enters the tissues of microorganisms. There are also a variety of natural sources that emit sulfur directly into the atmosphere, including volcanic eruptions, the breakdown of organic matter in swamps and tidal flats, and the evaporation of water. Sulfur eventually settles back into the Earth or comes down within rainfall."

An ecosystem could be an entire rain forest, covering a geographical area larger than many nations, or it could be a puddle or a backyard garden. Even the body of an animal could be considered an ecosystem, since it is home to numerous microorganisms. On a much larger scale, the history of various human societies provides an instructive illustration as to the ways that ecosystems have influenced civilizations.

The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. The majority of Earth's atmosphere (78%) is nitrogen, [1] making it the largest source of nitrogen. However, atmospheric nitrogen has limited availability for biological use, leading to a scarcity of usable nitrogen in many types of ecosystems. The nitrogen cycle is of particular interest to ecologists because nitrogen availability can affect the rate of key ecosystem processes, including primary production and decomposition.

In a few cases, English referents have replaced the original Latin ones (e.g., \"\" rest in peace \"\" for R. I. P. and \"\"post script\"\" for P. S.). Latin was once the universal academic language in Europe. From the 18th century authors started using their mother tongues to write books, papers or proceedings. Even when Latin fell out of use, many Latin abbreviations continued to be used due to their precise simplicity and Latin's status as a learnèd language. ["

Like mosses and hornworts, they have a gametophyte -dominant life cycle, in which cells of the plant carry only a single set of genetic information. It is estimated that there are about 9000 species of liverworts. Some of the more familiar species grow as a flattened leafless thallus, but most species are leafy with a form very much like a flattened moss. Leafy species can be distinguished from the apparently similar mosses on the basis of a number of features, including their single-celled rhizoids. Leafy liverworts also differ from most (but not all) mosses in that their leaves never have a costa (present in many mosses) and may bear marginal cilia (very rare in mosses). Other differences are not universal for all mosses and liverworts, but the occurrence of leaves arranged in three ranks, the presence of deep lobes or segmented leaves, or a lack of clearly differentiated stem and leaves all point to the plant being a liverwort."

Organisms are grouped together into taxa (singular: taxon) and these groups are given a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a super-group of higher rank, thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy. The principal ranks in modern use are domain, kingdom, phylum (division is sometimes used in botany in place of phylum), class, order, family, genus and species. The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the father of taxonomy, as he developed a system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorization of organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms. With the advent of such fields of study as phylogenetics, cladistics, and systematics, the Linnaean system has progressed to a system of modern biological classification based on the evolutionary relationships between organisms, both living and extinct."

Above it, each rank is classified within more general categories of organisms and groups of organisms related to each other through inheritance of traits or features from common ancestors. The rank of any species and the description of its genus is basic; which means that to identify a particular organism, it is usually not necessary to specify ranks other than these first two.

Photovoltaics is a science, which examines light-electricity conversion, respectively, photon energy-electric current conversion. In other words it stands for light-current conversion. First known use of word photovoltaic in the literature was in the book Elements of Electro-biology, Or the Voltaic Mechanism of Man of Electro-pathology, Especially of the Nervous System and of Electro-therapeutics written by Alfred Smee (1818-1877) in 1849.

"text": "\"An Online Introduction to the Biology of Animals and Plants Key Concepts Section 1Chapter 2Classifying Living Things CLASSIFYING LIVING THINGS - TAXONOMYCarl von Linne, a Swedish botanist (plant scientist) known as Carolus Linnaeus (Latin was the common language for European science, so writings and often names were Latinized), began work in 1735 on a system that would organize descriptive classification from the smallest of related groups up to the very largest. The system he developed, with revisions, is the basic system still used today to systematically organize types of living things with their relatives. The basic structure was similar to how human organizations of the time worked, with groups-contained-within-groups, be they feudal power structures or military structures. Each particular type of living thing would be designated a species (from the same root word as \"\"specific\"\"). Closely-related species could be collected within a larger grouping, a genus; related genera are grouped into a family, families into an order, orders into a class, classes into a phylum, and phyla into a Kingdom, the biggest and most general group. In Linnaeus time, there were just the Animal Kingdom and the Plant Kingdom, but later discoveries convinced biologists that some distinctly different types of organisms, such as Fungi and some tiny single-celled organisms, should be given their own separate Kingdoms. Some subdisciplines of biology use a basic Linnaean type of taxonomy, but may change the basic names used for a few of the groups. Commonly, for instance, plant and fungus taxonomy uses the term Division instead of Phylum.

The feathers on the head, neck and shoulders are particularly dense and silky. The legs and feet are generally black and the bill grey-black. Rooks are distinguished from similar members of the crow family by the bare grey-white skin around the base of the adult's bill in front of the eyes. The feathering around the legs also looks shaggier and laxer than the congeneric carrion crow. The juvenile is superficially more similar to the crow because it lacks the bare patch at the base of the bill, but it has a thinner bill and loses the facial feathers after about six months."

There are two types of rainforests, tropical and temperate. Tropical rainforests are found closer to the equator where it is warm. Temperate rainforests are found near the cooler coastal areas further north or south of the equator. Tropical rainforests are found in Central and South America, Southeast Asia and islands near it, and West Africa. There are smaller rainforests in northern Australia and other small islands. All tropical rainforests are found along the equator where the temperatures and the humidity is always high, with the days being equal to the nights. Se the sources below for additional information.

The type of plants and animals found in each ecosystem depends on the type of climate and soils. The harsh conditions of an extreme environment mean that only plants and animals that have adapted are able to survive in the area."

The majority of the Galapagos Islands are covered with sand and the Galapagos have climate characteristics, such as rainfall, of a desert biome. The temperature, however, resembles the tropics. The Galapagos Islands are located at the Equator, which makes them unique since they are the only desert to be located on the Equator. The islands are dry yearlong and are affected by cold and warm air and ocean currents. So the Galapagos Islands can also be classified as coastal desert. COMPARISON OF CLIMATOGRAMSCLIMATOGRAM OF THE GALAPAGOSHIGHEST Rainfall: 1.17 cm LOWEST Rainfall: 0.05 cm WARMEST Temperature: 28 degrees Celsius COLDEST Temperature: 21 degrees Celsius TEMPERATE FORESTRAINFALL The amount of rainfall that temperate forest biomes face is higher than the Galapagos Islands with the highest of about 13 cm. This is probably the reason why forests are diverse and have different kinds of animals and organisms. With a year-long of enough supply of water, producers have access to fresh water, as well as consumers. TEMPERATURE Surprisingly, the warmest temperature of temperate forest is the same as the warmest temperature of the Galapagos Islands with 28 degrees Celsius."

Jose de Paula Machado/Getty Imagesby Terry Hain Updated March 06, 2017Geography is interested in how people and cultures relate to the physical environment. The largest environment of which we are part is the biosphere. The biosphere is the part of the earth's surface and its atmosphere where organisms exist. It has also been described as the life-supporting layer that surrounds the Earth. The biosphere we live in is made up of biomes. A biome is a large geographical region where certain types of plants and animals thrive. Each biome has a unique set of environmental conditions and plants and animals that have adapted to those conditions. The major land biomes have names like tropical rainforest, grasslands, desert, temperate deciduous forest, taiga (also called coniferous or boreal forest), and tundra. Climate and Biomes The differences in these biomes can be traced to differences in climate and where they are located in relation to the Equator."

Savannahs - also known as tropical grasslands - are found to the north and south of tropical rainforest biomes. The largest expanses of savannah are in Africa, where much of the central part of the continent, for example Kenya and Tanzania, consists of tropical grassland. Savannah grasslands can also be found in Brazil in South America. Savannah regions have two distinct seasons - a wet season and a dry season. There is very little rain in the dry season. In the wet season vegetation grows, including lush green grasses and wooded areas. As you move further away from the equator and its heavy rainfall, the grassland becomes drier and drier - particularly in the dry season."

Our goal is to gain an understanding of the biome's characteristics, locations, and inhabitants. Definition of a Savanna Grasslands Biome Biomes are large, naturally occurring communities of plants and animals occupying a major habitat. The savanna grasslands are terrestrial biomes characterized by vast open spaces containing occasional small shrubs and trees. All savanna grassland biomes are found within thirty degrees of the equator and are often located between tropical rain forests and deserts. They are found in Africa, Asia, Australia, and South America. Savannas have warm temperatures year-round and typically have two seasons consisting of a long dry winter season and a very rainy summer."

Parrot fever is a rare infection caused by Chlamydia psittaci, a specific type of bacteria. The infection is also known as parrot disease and psittacosis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United States has seen fewer than 10 human cases of parrot fever each year since 2010. However, many cases may be undiagnosed or unreported because the symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses. As the name suggests, the disease is acquired from birds. Parrots are not the only possible culprits, however. Other wild and pet birds may also carry the infection and pass it to humans. Parrot fever has been reported in countries including Argentina, Australia, and England. It may be found anywhere birds are kept as pets or in large confined populations (such as poultry farms)."

There are, as I found out to my chagrin, a few nasty bacteria that can “mutate” and cross from human to bird…I just happened to have a sinus infection with one of those and lost some birds to it, but those also are very rare."

"text": "In order to better understand how nuisance birds spread disease we need to understand the basics of disease and transmission. What is a Disease? When normal body functions become disrupted due to a foreign invader or an internal malfunction, we call the disruption a disease. Diseases caused by foreign invaders are called infectious diseases. The invading agents that account for the majority of infectious diseases are grouped in the following five categories; viruses, bacteria, mycotic (fungal), protozoal and rickettsial. From a layman's standpoint, the classification and definitions of disease are less important than how these diseases spread and how can we protect ourselves from them. Diseases need to be transported from place to place in order to spread. Birds are a perfect mechanism for spreading disease because they travel great distances, harbor over forty types of parasites and can host internally over sixty types of infectious diseases. Fortunately, human interaction with most bird species is minimal, thus drastically reducing any health threat from most birds. However a few bird species have successfully adapted to our urban environment."

"text": "\"Answer by Jessica Penney Confidence votes 8.4KI am an artist, wireless professional, costume designer, prop maker, effects makeup artist, avid gamer, theater enthusiast & gearhead. There are many conditions that can be passed from animals to people. WORMS Hookworms and roundworms Hookworms and roundworms (Ancylostoma and Ascaris ) are common nematodes of dogs and cats. When a human accidentally eats something contaminated with worm eggs from a pet's stool, the eggs hatch in the intestines and begin migrating throughout that person's body. Worm larva can also burrow through intact skin. Because these parasites were designed to live in dogs and cats, they become lost in the human body - often in the liver or eyes. When this occurs, the disease is called visceral larval migrans. This disease occurs most often in children due to their poor hygienic practices. In the eye the larval nematodes cause inflammation and blindness. In the liver they can cause chills, fever, malaise and an elevated white blood cell count."

However, some pets can carry diseases or may be dangerous for young children with poor immune systems. Zoonoses, for example, are infectious diseases that you can get from animals, especially when you have close contact with them. Like people, all animals carry germs. In Canada, your chances of getting a disease from an animal are small, but it’s still a good idea to know what to look for in your pet and how to avoid getting sick from an animal. How can we prevent diseases from spreading from pets to people? Several factors affect whether a disease will spread from an animal to a human. Pet health care: The best way to avoid catching a disease from your pet is to make sure your pet is healthy. Get your pet from a source you trust (talk to a veterinarian for suggestions). Make sure your pet sees the vet regularly and has all necessary vaccinations."

Histoplasmosis is common among AIDS patients because of their suppressed immunity. [ 3] In immunocompetent individuals, past infection results in partial protection against ill effects if reinfected. Histoplasma capsulatum is found in soil, often associated with decaying bat guano or bird droppings.

Wild aquatic birds – particularly certain wild ducks, geese, swans, gulls, shorebirds and terns – are the natural hosts for most influenza type A viruses. Subtypes of Influenza A Viruses Influenza A viruses are divided into subtypes on the basis of two proteins on the surface of the virus: hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA). There are 18 known HA subtypes and 11 known NA subtypes. Many different combinations of HA and NA proteins are possible. For example, an “H7N2 virus” designates an influenza A virus subtype that has an HA 7 protein and an NA 2 protein. Similarly an “H5N1” virus has an HA 5 protein and an NA 1 protein. All known subtypes of influenza A viruses can infect birds, except subtypes H17N10 and H18N11, which have only been found in bats. Only two influenza A virus subtypes (i.e., H1N1, and H3N2) are currently in general circulation among people. Some subtypes are found in other infected animal species. For example, H7N7 and H3N8 virus infections can cause illness in horses, and H3N8 virus infection cause illness in horses and dogs."

Synonyms of Psittacosisornithosisparrot fever General Discussion Psittacosis is an uncommon infectious disease that is most often transmitted to humans through exposure to infected birds, especially parrots, cockatiels, parakeets and similar pet birds. Psittacosis can affect the lungs and may cause inflammatory illness of the lungs (pneumonia). Additional common symptoms include fever, muscle pain (myalgia), headaches, and a dry cough. Psittacosis is caused by infection with the bacterium, Chlamydia psittaci, and may also be known as ornithosis. It is rare among humans. People who own birds as pets are most likely to be affected by psittacosis. In addition, psittacosis may affect people who work in environments with birds that may be carriers of the infection such as pet store workers, farmers, veterinarians and ranchers. Signs & Symptoms The symptoms and severity of psittacosis can vary greatly. Some individuals may not develop any symptoms (asymptomatic) or only have a very mild infection; others can develop serious widespread infection that affects several organ systems of the body."

It is transmitted from pet birds or poultry. The illness is caused by a chlamydia, which is a type of intracellular parasite closely related to bacteria. Parrot fever is also called chlamydiosis, psittacosis or ornithosis. Description Parrot fever, which is referred to as avian psittacosis when it infects birds, is caused by Chlamydia psittaci. Pet birds in the parrot family, including parrots, parakeets, macaws, and cockatiels, are the most common carriers of the infection. Other birds that may also spread C. psittaci include pigeons, doves, mynah birds, and turkeys. Birds that are carrying the organism may appear healthy, but can shed it in their feces. The symptoms of avian psittacosis include inactivity, loss of appetite and ruffled feathers, diarrhea, runny eyes and nasal discharge, and green or yellow-green urine. Sick birds can be treated with antibiotics by a veterinarian."

When turkey hunters get together, inevitably the conversation revolves around whether there are too many hens or too many turkeys in general. Sometimes turkey hunters speculate about disease when the birds are numerous. People who care about turkeys worry about maladies such as blackhead, West Nile Virus, mycoplasmosis and avian pox. At times, the agricultural community expresses concern about wild turkeys infecting their poultry or cattle and affecting egg or milk production. Individual wild turkeys do fall victim to diseases and parasites. A number of bacterial and viral infections occur in wild turkeys, but diseases and parasites are rarely limiting factors affecting turkey populationsanywhere within their range. In fact, no wild turkeys have ever been linked to disease outbreaks in domestic poultry or cattle. Most bird diseases cannot be transmitted to mammals.

"text": "Mites Affecting Humans“Mite” is a term commonly used to refer to a group of insect-like organisms, some of which bite or cause irritation to humans. While some mites parasitize animals, including man, others are scavengers, some feed on plants, and many prey on insects and other arthropods. In fact, there are nearly as many different types of mites as there are insects. Like their relatives, the ticks, mites pass through four stages of development: egg to larva to nymph to adult. All stages have eight legs except the six-legged larva. Most mites never come in contact with humans, but some that do can affect a person’s health. Yet, in many situations where mites or other “invisible” arthropods are believed to be biting or “attacking” people, no causative organism is present. The irritation may be real or imagined: real, due to mechanical, chemical or other inanimate irritants, or imagined due to a psychological disorder. While mites rarely transmit disease to humans in the United States, they definitely impact health in ways that range from simply being a nuisance when they enter homes in large numbers, to inflicting severe skin irritation that can cause intense itching. The most commonly encountered mites, including those that can adversely affect human health, are listed below."

The term is also used of organisms that cause a nuisance, such as in the home. An older usage is of a deadly epidemic disease, specifically plague. In its broadest sense, a pest is a competitor of humanity.

It is a loose concept, as an organism can be a pest in one setting but beneficial, domesticated or acceptable in another. Pests often occur in high densities, making the damage they do even more detrimental."

The red mite Dermanyssus gallinae are blood sucking ectoparasites that can infest and feed on chickens and turkeys. They can invade at any time but especially during the warmer summer months. Warmth gives the red mite the ideal conditions in which to breed so numbers can proliferate extremely quickly. Red mite can be challenging to spot unless you have a population explosion whereby they are difficult to ignore. Being nocturnal, they hide in crevices and joints of the poultry house during the day then emerge at night to crawl up the bird’s legs, through the feathers and take a feed of blood from your birds. We suggest a regular check of any areas they can potentially hide so you can take action as soon as possible to prevent them impacting on your bird’s health. Alternatively have a look in the coop with a torch after dark. If you get a sheet of white paper and press any red mites you find onto it, red streaks will appear. You may also see even smaller greyish cream coloured mites, these are ones which have not yet fed."

More than 30,000 species of mite have been identified. Even though they are very small, mites are important organisms to humans and other animals. Most species of mite are beneficial decomposers breaking down organic matter, allowing nutrients to be used by plants again. Even though most mites feed on organic matter, some mite species feed on plants while others have animal hosts. It is important to realize that mites that feed on plants, (spider mites, for example), cannot successfully feed and reproduce on human beings or other animals. Most mites that are animal parasites are fairly host specific only developing successfully on one species or group of animals that are closely related. There are only a few mite species that cause medical problems for human beings. House dust mite."

But if you have chickens, the autumn and winter can be some of the worst times of year for an infestation. As the weather turns colder, some bugs on chickens actually become more active. Wild Birds Are Nothing But Trouble One way your chickens become infested is when they have contact with wild birds. Even if you keep your birds in a pen (unless you have netting over the top), wild birds will swoop down to take some stray bits of chicken feed and leave lice and mites behind. Lice and mites feed on the blood, feathers, skin and scales of your birds. If you have a heavy infestation, it can make your chickens susceptible to infection, reduce their growth and stop egg production.

The life cycle of a mite is generally composed of four active stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. The life cycle usually requires one to four weeks and may result in huge populations of mites when there are favorable conditions. There are more than 250 species of mites known to cause health-related issues to humans and animals. Household Mites Mites are occasionally found in homes and attack humans in the absence of their normal hosts; birds, rodents, or insects. Bites from these mites may be painful and cause severe skin irritation. Bird Mites The northern fowl mite (Figure 1), tropical fowl mite, and chicken mite are the major bird mite species in Florida."

Baby birds that have all their feathers are fledglings and are ready to leave the nest. They need to be on the ground a day or two as they learn to fly, their parents are taking care of them. Unfeathered babies can be returned to the nest, for it is not true that if you touch a baby bird the parents will abandon it. If the nest has been destroyed, you can make a new one using something such as a parrot nest box and wire; nail it close to where the original one was. You should put fully feathered babies in a bush or on a tree limb, and they should be just fine. You might want to ask any cat owning neighbors to keep the cats in for a day or two to give the baby birds a chance to learn how to fly. The exception to this would be if there is an injury or the baby has been in a cat's or dog's mouth, even if you don't see any marks on it.

"text": "Bird Mite Removal Although bird mites rarely cause more than slight skin irritation in humans, they pose great danger to a variety of birds, including pet birds and poultry. Those wishing to remove bird mites from a home or farm often attempt methods such as the application of insecticides. While this method may temporarily prove successful, infestations will resurface after surviving specimens begin to breed again. Proper identification of the pest is crucial to the success of our custom pest control solutions—the process goes beyond just an extermination procedure. Improper identification can render all control efforts useless. It is also necessary to locate and discard all nests of pest birds in the affected area. Nests are commonly found in eaves, chimneys, roof spaces, window ledges and small cracks or cavities in walls. However, all state and other governmental regulations must be followed, since certain species of birds are protected and specific actions may be limited. On poultry farms, all nesting materials need to be replaced. Nesting areas may also require application of appropriate pesticides, applied according to laws and labels, to ensure removal of bird mite populations."

"text": "Bird Mites Bird Mites Scientific Name: Demanyssus gallinae and Ornithonyssus sylviarum Bird Mites: A Pest to Avoid Many people are not familiar with the bird mite until their home or livestock becomes infested, and then they become acutely aware of the irritation, pain and frustration that can ensue. Although these pests only reach the size of a ballpoint pen tip, the bird mite is a nasty arachnid that wreaks havoc on its hosts and is extremely difficult to eradicate. Found all over the world, there are two main species of the bird mite in the United States, and both have very similar traits and pest patterns. This parasite’s name would suggest that they are only attracted to fowl, but unfortunately they have a much broader scope. Although notorious for infecting chicken coups, the bird parasite only requires a warm-blooded creature from where they can glean blood. Unlike other parasites that become semi-permanently attached to their host, the bird mite will feed and release, returning for more each night. Bird mites are extremely hostile and destructive, but even more importantly they have no issue using a human as their host and can infest a home within a matter of hours and days. Bird Mites Facts Bird mites are almost impossible to see without some kind of magnification, therefore you will most likely be bitten before you suspect the parasite is in your home. Although their main hosts are birds, the mite will seek out another victim when a nest becomes empty. Bird mites can be brought into homes via pets, rodents or even on your clothes."

A: Mites and lice are a common problem for chickens and can be carried in by wild birds, so keep that in mind. That means that if you have an infestation, it doesn't necessarily mean your management practices are bad. Don't get overwhelmed by guilt! There are some things that you just can't control... and birds landing in your trees or walking in your yard is probably one of them. Signs of parasite infestation in your flock's feathers Mites inhabit your birds' feathers and suck their blood: they're like fleas, lice, or mosquitos that live in your hair---yuck! Infestations of feather mites or lice can cause a reduction in laying, pale combs and wattles, anemia and even death! Infestations can also cause feather loss, usually on the back, because a bird may overpreen and pluck her own feathers in an attempt to get relief. It is similar to the loss of feathers caused by too much attention from a rooster. However, a rooster normally causes broken feathers, at least at first, whereas mites can cause feather loss down to the skin quickly--sometimes the skin is irritated and red!If you have mites or lice, you will need to treat your birds."

Pesticides can create more problems than they solve. Spraying garden chemicals to get rid of bugs and weeds not only cause health risks, they often aren’t even that effective. Initially, they will kill off a lot of pests, but eventually these pests can develop resistance to the pesticide and come back even stronger. Another problem is the side effects many synthetic pesticides can have on unintended targets (think of DDT and birds). The best plan is to avoid the need to use pest control in the first place by starting with healthy fertile soil, matching your plants to the soil type, ensuring proper sunlight levels and watering conditions, and using appropriate organic fertilization and pruning, when necessary. But, if that doesn’t work there are many alternatives to chemical pesticides that can reduce pests while leaving a healthy environment for your plants, pets and family.

Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Both are in the phylum Arthropoda. Mites are in the class arachnida, with spiders, ticks and centipedes. They usually live by eating hair and skin fragments, not by actually biting people. Lice are insects (class Insecta), and they live by sucking the blood of their hosts. They are true parasites, because they life by eating the animals they live on. // Mites are not parasites, but instead are called commensal organisms, because their host (the animal they live on) can actually benefit from the arrangement: they normally eat just things on the surface of the animal, that could cause harm, like the mites that eat the fungus which grows on cockroaches. Anwyay, they are very unrelated, and lice are much more harmful. Also, almost all people have gazillions of tiny mites living on them, but they don't bother them!! Lice on the other hand, are not that common, and they do indeed bother and harm the people they live on. ("

Generally, the declining species are those of higher elevations, the Scottish moors and uplands. Kestrels, lapwings, curlews, meadow pipits and oyster catchers have been placed on the amber warning list. Numbers of swifts and hooded crows have dropped by more than one-third, the survey found. But because their declines have been observed over a relatively short time they have not yet been put on the warning list.

Centuries ago the local residents named this annual event El Ni�o (span. \"\" the child\"\") based on Christian theology that assigned this period of the year the name-giving Christmas season. Normally, these warm countercurrents last for at most a few weeks when they again give way to the cold Peruvian flow. However, every three to seven years, this countercurrent is unusually warm and strong. Accompanying this event is a pool of warm, ocean surface water in the central and eastern Pacific. El Ni�o has made frequent appearances over the last century, with particularly severe consequences in 1891, 1925, 1953, 1972, 1982, 1986, 1992, 1993, and 1997. Today, scientists use the term El Ni�o for these episodes of ocean warming that originally bore that name. In order to understand the complex interaction that contributes to the phenomenon known as El Ni�o, several crucial factors have to be viewed at in more details.

Earth's Moon formed 4,450 million years ago, just 50 million years after the Earth's formation. Because the composition of the rocks retrieved from the Moon by the Apollo missions is very similar to rocks from the Earth, it is thought that the Moon formed as a result of a collision between the young Earth and a Mars-sized body, sometimes called Theia, which accreted at a Lagrangian point 60° ahead or behind the Earth. A cataclysmic meteorite bombardment (the Late Heavy Bombardment) of the Moon and the Earth 3,900 million years ago is thought to have been caused by impacts of planetesimals which were originally beyond the Earth, but whose orbits were destabilized by the migration of Jupiter and Saturn during the formation of the solar system.

Animal species can only survive within specific ranges of climatic and environmental factors, if conditions change beyond the tolerance of species, or to rapidly for evolutionary adaptations, then animals mayexhibit ecological responses to these changes. The threat of extinction to species who are unable to adapt or have limited habitat is expected to increase with climatic changes, and the extinction of some species has already been directly linked to climate change. Changes is animals phenology, such as migration, breeding and spring appearance, has occurred throughout the world and is linked to seasonal variability. Changes in the spatial distribution of animals, particularly poleward and elevational shifts, is occurring as suitable habitat disappears or extends beyond its current range. Arctic and marine ecosystems are undergoing physical environmental changes that are effecting the species that inhabit them. Temperature change and melting sea ice in the arctic is adversely affecting the species of the region, and sea level rise, increased sea temperature and higher p H are among the issues changing the planets marine ecosystems. Spread of pests and disease are occurring as a result of milder temperatures. All of these changes threaten the planets ecological biodiversity and changes projected for the environment will increasingly affect all life on Earth. Climate Change Climate Change is occurring as a result of the greenhouse effect, which is the amount of solar radiation that is trapped in Earth's atmosphere, and which regulates the temperature of Earth."

To reduce this complexity to a manageable level, ecosystems have been grouped together or “classified” using a range of different methods. There are consistent patterns in biodiversity across major ecosystem groups, with those from moist, tropical regions having significantly higher diversity than ecosystems from other regions. Keywords Arctic circle; Biome; Biome classification; Boreal forest; Ecosystem classification;Ecosystems; Environments; Terrestrial surface; Tundra; Vegetation type Glossary Biome A group of ecosystems which are subject to similar climatic conditions and which share a similar range of vegetation structures, animal diversity, and soil types. Biomes represent major regional groupings of ecological systems and are therefore discernible at the global scale. Ecosystem All of the organisms living within or utilizing a particular area, together with their surrounding nonliving environment. Ecosystem classification A procedure for grouping together similar ecosystems based on a predefined set of criteria, e.g., vegetation structure, climate, land-use history, and soil type. Latitudinal biodiversity gradient The well-documented trend for there to be more species in tropical ecosystems compared with temperate or polar ecosystems. The Earth's Terrestrial Ecosystems Ecosystem Classifications: Overview Terrestrial ecosystems cover approximately 148 million km 2, corresponding to 29% of the total surface area of the earth. They include such diverse habitats as the frigid regions around the poles, the searing heat of tropical deserts, and lush temperate and tropical rainforests."

"text": "\"Print Page Rain Forest Background Comparison of Tropical & Temperate Rain Forests Sometimes you hear the words \"\"tropical\"\" and \"\"temperate\"\" associated with rain forests. The difference is in the location. If the rain forest is close to the equator, it is considered tropical. If the rain forest is farther away from the equator (between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer or the Antarctic Circle and the Tropic of Capricorn) then the forest is considered to temperate. Since Alaska and the Pacific Northwest’s rain forests are found between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer, these forests are temperate. All temperate rain forests share similar characteristics, but different plants and animals populate each. Tropical rain forests are located in the warm regions south of the Tropic of Cancer and north of the Tropic of Capricorn. Tropical rain forests have the greatest biodiversity, but there are non-tropical or temperate rain forests as well (such as those on the northwest coast of the USA). The only tropical rain forest in the United States is found on the island of Puerto Rico.

Credit: ESAGlobal warming is expected to have far-reaching, long-lasting and, in many cases, devastating consequences for planet Earth. Global warming, the gradual heating of Earth's surface, oceans and atmosphere, is caused by human activity, primarily the burning of fossil fuels that pump carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Despite political controversy about climate change, a major report released Sept. 27, 2013, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) stated that scientists are more certain than ever of the link between human activities and global warming. More than 197 international scientific organizations agree that global warming is real and has been caused by human action. Already, global warming is having a measurable effect on the planet. \"\" We can observe this happening in real time in many places. Ice is melting in both polar ice caps and mountain glaciers.

Diet / Feeding Calls / Vocalizations ... Lifespan, Mortality and Predation ... Diseases / Health Problems Overview The Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) - also sometimes referred to as Canadian Geese - are the most widely distributed geese in North America, with a range that stretches across the Arctic and temperate regions of North America. They also occur in northern Europe, on the Kamchatka Peninsula in eastern Siberia, eastern China and throughout Japan. Introduced populations have also established themselves in New Zealand. This species has adapted well to living in urban and suburban areas and are commonly found on lakes, ponds and rivers. This large goose is easily recognized by its black head and neck, distinctive white patches on the face, light tan to cream chest and its otherwise brownish-grey plumage. They are strong swimmers, divers and flyers. Canada Geese are well known for their V-shaped flight formation, during which the front position is rotated since flying in front consumes the most energy. In Canada and other breeding territories, the loud honking calls made by the large flocks of migrating Canada Geese flying above signal the transitions into spring or autumn. This species is protected in North America under the Migratory Bird Act of 1918, making it illegal to harm, take, or possess migratory birds, any parts of the bird, their nests or their eggs, except during the hunting season, or by special permit (Mac Gowan, Loven and Whitford). Ironically, notwithstanding the \"\"legal protection\"\" of this species, lethal culling / mass slaughter of these birds are being employed - via extended hunting seasons, fatal gassing and poisoning - to control the exploding populations of Canada Geese in urban or densely populated areas."

The average annual temperature is above 20� C ; there is never a frost. Rainfall varies widely from a low of about 250cm of rain per year to about 450 cm/year . That means a range from about 8 to 14 feet of rain per year. World Distribution: As you can see from the map to the right, the tropical rainforests are, indeed, located in the tropics, a band around the equator from 23.5� N (the Tropic of Cancer) to 23.5� S (the Tropic of Capricorn) (red lines on map, right). Because the Earth tilts 23.5 degrees on its axis as it travels around the sun, at some point in the year (the solstices, June 22nd in the north, December 22nd in the south) the sun will be directly overhead on one of these lines. At the equinoxes the sun is directly over the equator. Within this band, solar radiation is most intense, and thus the surface of the planet warms the most. The warmth leads to a lot of evaporation, and as warm, moist air rises, it cools, the water condenses, and the water falls back to the earth as rain . Thus, the warmest areas of the planet also tend to be the wettest , and this sets the stage for the tropical rain forest."

Concept 50.1 Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the environment Ecologists ask questions about factors affecting the distribution and abundance of organisms. Ecologists might study how interactions between organisms and the environment affect the number of species living in an area, the cycling of nutrients, or the growth of populations. Ecology and evolutionary biology are closely related sciences. Ecology has a long history as a descriptive science. Modern ecology is also a rigorous experimental science. Ecology and evolutionary biology are closely related sciences. Events that occur over ecological time (minutes to years) translate into effects over evolutionary time (decades to millennia). For example, hawks feeding on field mice kill certain individuals (over ecological time), reducing population size (an ecological effect), altering the gene pool (an evolutionary effect), and selecting for mice with fur color that camouflages them in their environment (over evolutionary time). Ecological research ranges from the adaptations of individual organisms to the dynamics of the biosphere."

"text": "Types of Birth Control Pills (Oral Contraceptives)Medically reviewed on Mar 19, 2018 by L. Anderson, Pharm D. How Effective is the Birth Control Pill? The birth control pill is a popular and highly effective method of birth control if taken correctly. The pill has a less than 1 percent (%) failure rate (meaning less than 1 out of 100 women unintentionally become pregnant) when the pill is used correctly. However, for women who miss taking their pills, the failure rate goes up to roughly 8%, or 8 out of 100 women become pregnant unintentionally. Roughly 85% of women who do not use birth control and are trying to get pregnant will conceive within one year. If you do not want to become pregnant, and if you are not likely to remember to take a pill each day, you probably should consider a longer-acting form of birth control, such as the injection, patch, implant, vaginal ring or IUD. What Are Birth Control Pills? Birth control pills are an oral pill that a woman can take every day to prevent pregnancy. Birth control pills stop the ovaries from releasing eggs and thickens the cervical mucus, which keeps sperm from fertilizing the egg. Birth control pills come in two forms: combination pills contain two hormones, progestin and estrogen, while the “mini-pills” contain only progestin."

( AP Photo) (CNSNews.com) – Although Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke testified to the House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee last month that contraception can cost a law student $3,000 over three years and that some of her fellow students could not afford it, a Target store only 3 miles from the law school currently sells a month's supply of birth control pills for only $9 to people who do not have insurance plans covering contraceptives. That would make the total cost for birth control pills for a student who decided to use them for all three years of law school just $324. Fluke was the sole witness who appeared on Feb. 23 before an all-Democratic panel chaired by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Fluke, the 30-year-old past president of Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice, said she was testifying in support of the Obamacare regulation that requires all health insurance plans--including those offered by Catholic universities--to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives. She said she wanted to tell the stories of some women at Georgetown Law who were affected by the fact that the student health-care plan at the Catholic university does not cover contraceptives.

Conference of Catholic Bishops has said that forcing Catholics and Catholic institutions to provide insurance coverage for sterilizations, contraceptive and abortifacients forces Catholics to violate Catholic teaching and is a violation of the free exercise of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment. )“ Without insurance coverage, contraception can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school,\"\" Fluke said. \"\" For a lot of students who, like me, are on public interest scholarships, that’s practically an entire summer’s salary."

For more information, see the topic Emergency Contraception. What is birth control? Birth control is any method used to prevent pregnancy. Another word for birth control is contraception (say \"\"kon-truh-SEP-shun\"\"). If you have sex without birth control, there is a chance that you could get pregnant. This is true even if you have not started having periods yet or you are getting close to menopause. The only sure way to prevent pregnancy is to not have sex."

The low-dose progestins for contraception are used to prevent pregnancy. Other names for progestin-only oral contraceptives are minipills and progestin-only pills (POPs). Progestins can prevent fertilization by preventing a woman's egg from fully developing. Also, progestins cause changes at the opening of the uterus, such as thickening of the cervical mucus. This makes it hard for the partner's sperm to reach the egg. The fertilization of the woman's egg with her partner's sperm is less likely to occur while she is taking, receiving, or using a progestin, but it can occur. Even so, the progestins make it harder for the fertilized egg to become attached to the walls of the uterus, making it difficult to become pregnant. No contraceptive method is 100 percent effective."

There are many different kinds of birth control pills (there are different doses of hormones in different hormonal pills). You will be asked questions about your medical history and also about your health insurance and if you have a co-pay (cost your health insurance doesn’t cover) for different pills. Your health care provider may prescribe a progestin-only pill (if there’s a medical reason why you shouldn’t take estrogen). If you don’t have any medical problems that would put you at risk for medical complications, your health care provider will decide which birth control pill is the best one for your first prescription. What if I’m not happy with the birth control pill that I’m taking? If you’re not happy with the birth control pill that you are taking and the effects they have on you, talk to your health care provider."

"text": "The debate against using birth control for hormonal imbalance or other non contraceptive problems is one that I have felt rather strongly about for a while now and finally decided it is time to voice an opinion over it. Before delving into the subject, I think it’s fair to disclaim that I not a medical practitioner, nor do I consider myself an expert in this field. I do believe my personal experience gives me the plausibility to voice an opinion on the issue of birth control for managing hormonal imbalance. I also do not believe that birth control pills are inherently bad and I do sincerely believe that there women who will benefit by going on the pill if used for the right reasons. The core theme of this post is against using birth control pills as the first course treatment for hormonal issues especially in young, unknowing women. My belief is that birth control pills should be the last resort for the management of non-contraceptive and non-serious hormone related problems after all other lifestyle and treatment options have been exhausted. These options include diet, exercise and other natural remedies. It should be preceded with full blood and saliva testing for hormonal levels and most importantly combined with education. The seriousness of the decision to take birth control pills should not be undermined and women need to understand the potential long term implications that could arise. Yes the chances we are told are minute, but there is still a chance."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Contraceptive mandate (United States))navigation search A contraceptive mandate is a government regulation or law that requires health insurers, or employers that provide their employees with health insurance, to cover some contraceptive costs in their health insurance plans. In 1978, the United States Congress made it clear that discrimination on the basis of pregnancy was discrimination on the basis of sex. [ 1] In 2000, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled that companies that provided insurance for prescription drugs to their employees but excluded birth control were violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964. [ 2]President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) on 23 March 2010. As of 1 August 2011, female contraception was added to a list of preventive services covered by the ACA that would be provided without patient co-payment. The federal mandate applied to all new health insurance plans in all states from 1 August 2012. [ 3] [4] Grandfathered plans did not have to comply unless they changed substantially. [ 5] To be grandfathered, a group plan must have existed or an individual plan must have been sold before President Obama signed the law; otherwise they were required to comply with the new law. [ 6] The Guttmacher Institute noted that even before the federal mandate was implemented, twenty-eight states had their own mandates that required health insurance to cover the prescription contraceptives, but the federal mandate innovated by forbidding insurance companies from charging part of the cost to the patient. [ 7] In 2017, the Trump administration issued a ruling letting insurers and employers refuse to provide birth control if doing so went against their \"\"religious beliefs\"\" or \"\"moral convictions\"\".

"text": "Tags: pill | acne | birth | control The Pill Is Effective Against Women's Acne: Study Thursday, 05 Jun 2014 02:44 PMEmail Article | Comment | Contact | Print | A ATweet Birth control pills seem to work as well as antibiotics for long-term treatment of acne in women, according to a new review of past clinical trials. After six months, both treatments reduced acne by just over 50 percent, prompting dermatologists to call the Pill a good alternative for some women and a means of avoiding the drawbacks of stronger oral acne medications or long-term antibiotic use. Past research has shown that both antibiotics and birth control pills can improve acne, but the new review compared the two options side-by-side and found antibiotics worked better after three months, but after six months of use, results were about equal. “Oral contraceptives (OCPs) take longer to work because they have a different mechanism of action,” said Dr. Kelly H. Tyler, who was not involved in the new review. “Antibiotics have anti-inflammatory properties, and OCPs do not have those same properties, so the reduction in acne is going to be more gradual and less dramatic in the beginning,” said Tyler, a dermatologist at Ohio State University in Columbus. Antibiotics help to reduce inflammation of existing acne, whereas oral contraceptives reduce free or circulating androgens, lowering production of the oily sebum that plugs pores, which lowers the risk of new acne developing, she told Reuters Health by email. The review included 32 randomized controlled trials of antibiotics or oral contraceptives for treating acne. In general, after three months of treatment, antibiotics had reduced the number of whiteheads or cysts by 48 percent, compared to 37 percent with oral contraceptives. But by six months, oral contraceptives had caught up, reducing acne by 55 percent, compared to 53 percent with antibiotics, according to the results published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. The authors caution that the antibiotics trials they analyzed included both men and women, which interferes with the comparison to the contraceptive trial results because hormones do play such an important role in acne."

Key Facts Birth control pills Birth control pills (also called oral contraceptive pills and the “Pill”) are a type of female hormonal birth control method and are very effective at preventing pregnancy. The Pills are small tablets that you swallow each day. Most pills contain two types of synthetic (man-made) female hormones: estrogen and progestin. These are similar to the estrogen and progesterone normally made by the ovaries. These pills are called “combination oral contraceptives,” and there are many different kinds.

"text": "\"Question I teach primary care and pharmacology to graduate nurse practitioner students. When teaching about heart failure, I naturally discuss the role of beta-blockers. In the past, I have instructed my students that beta-blockers used for congestive heart failure (CHF) are prescribed only in conjunction with a cardiologist. Is such thinking still correct or has the use of beta-blockers in CHF become so mainstream that this recommendation is no longer necessary? Lois E. Brenneman, MSN, APNResponse from Wendy L. Wright, MS, RN, ARNP, FNP, FAANPCongestive heart failure (CHF) affects approximately 4 million individuals in the United States with 500,000 new cases diagnosed each year. [ 1] Previously, beta-blockers were absolutely contraindicated in patients with congestive heart failure. Now beta-blockers are considered to be standard of care and a necessary part of the medication regimen. This transformation occurred as a result of numerous studies supporting improved outcomes in patients with mild to moderate CHF (New York Heart Association class II-III) who are treated with beta-blockers. Two such studies are the US Carvedilol Heart Failure Study and the MERIT-HF (metoprolol CR/XL Randomized Intervention Trial in Heart Failure), which demonstrated a 65% and a 34% reduction in mortality, respectively. [ 2, 3] Thus, beta-blockers, in particular carvedilol, extended-release metoprolol, and bisoprolol, are now recommended for all patients with systolic dysfunction, an ejection fraction less than 40%, and mild to moderate heart failure.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OVERVIEWHypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure, namely a blood pressure of at least 130 mm Hg systolic (upper value) or at least 80 mm Hg diastolic (lower value). Untreated hypertension increases the strain on the heart and arteries, eventually causing organ damage. Hypertension increases the risk of heart failure, heart attack (myocardial infarction), kidney failure leading to dialysis, and stroke."

"text": "\"; Diagnosis and Therapy of Heart Failure Congestive heart failure is a clinical syndrome resulting from a primary abnormality in the function of the heart as a pump, and its diagnosis and therapy depend on an understanding of the underlying pathophysiology. This pathophysiology involves a wide variety of initial cardiac events as well as vascular and neurohumoral compensatory responses that contribute not only to the clinical syndrome, but also to its progression and premature mortality. Primary cardiac overloads (e.g., hypertension or valve disease, like mitral insufficiency or stenosis, aortic stenosis or insufficiency, see definitions hypertension, mitral valve, aortic stenosis, aortic insufficiency) or loss of myocardium (e.g., myocardial infarction, heart attack, see definition myocardial infarction) elicite adaptive myocardial (heart muscle) changes including hypertrophy (enlargement of muscle cells) and ventricular chamber dilation. These adaptations may result in myocardial dysfunction that, if extensive enough, produces ventricular dysfunction, which ultimately eventuates in the syndrome of congestive heart failure. Thus, etiology of the heart disease forms only one part of the physiologic derangement. The evaluation and treatment of the overt clinical syndrome involves consideration of not only the initial cause of the cardiac dysfunction but also the evolving compensatory process. Terminology to be used below1. Left ventricular dysfunction: an abnormality of systolic (contraction phase of the heart beat) or diastolic (relaxation phase when the ventricle refills) performance of the left ventricle such that either the contractile force is impaired and ventricular emptying reduced or the diastolic relaxation and filling are impaired, or both.a. Systolic dysfunction: an impairment of the contraction of the left ventricle such that the stroke volume (SV, the amount of blood pumped out per heart beat) is reduced for any given end-diastolic volume (amount of blood remaining after contraction) or filling pressure. In general, the end-diastolic volume is increased significantly while the stroke volume is reduced."

The medicine is also sometimes used to treat heart failure. Bisoprolol belongs to a class of drugs called beta-blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels, slowing the heart rate, and decreasing the heart's contractility. The drug can be used alone or with other medicines. Often people who take this drug also adopt lifestyle changes, such as following a healthy diet and getting exercise, to control their blood pressure. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved bisoprolol in 1992. It's manufactured as Zebeta by Duramed Pharmaceuticals. Bisoprolol Warnings Before taking bisoprolol, tell your doctor if you have, or have ever had: A lung disease, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema Heart failure, heart disease, a slow heart rate, or any other heart condition Circulation problems An overactive thyroid Liver disease Kidney disease Diabetes A mental illness, such as depression Allergies If you suffer from allergies, you should know that bisoprolol may worsen your allergic reactions.

However, in some patients with compensated cardiac failure, it may be necessary to utilize these agents. In such situations, they must be used cautiously. Patients Without a History of Cardiac Failure Continued depression of the myocardium with beta-blockers can, in some patients, precipitate cardiac failure. At the first signs or symptoms of heart failure, discontinuation of ZIAC should be considered. In some cases ZIAC therapy can be continued while heart failure is treated with other drugs. Abrupt Cessation of Therapy Exacerbations of angina pectoris and, in some instances, myocardial infarction or ventricular arrhythmia, have been observed in patients with coronary artery disease following abrupt cessation of therapy with beta-blockers. Such patients should, therefore, be cautioned against interruption or discontinuation of therapy without the physician’s advice. Even in patients without overt coronary artery disease, it may be advisable to taper therapy with ZIAC (bisoprolol fumarate and hydrochlorothiazide) over approximately 1 week with the patient under careful observation."

The neurotransmitters (adrenaline and noradrenaline) bind to tiny areas on the heart known as beta receptors, to convey their message. Acebutolol binds with these beta receptors and does not allow the messages from adrenaline and noradrenaline to reach the heart. As a result, the heart beats slowly and with lesser force. Slow beating of the heart reduces the blood flow in blood vessels and thus reduces the inside pressure on the walls and controls your hypertension. The drug controls abnormally fast and uneven heart rate in the case of cardiac arrhythmia. Since the heart treated with acebutolol beats slowly and with less force, it uses lesser energy and thus chest pain in angina is relieved.

Updated 6 November 2014Australian researchers have shown how a chemical similar to those used in cleaning products may benefit breast cancer patients. Bisphosphonates, which resemble chemicals used as water softeners in soap powders and detergents, are currently used clinically to treat conditions that affect the bones. The calcium-binding drugs are prescribed to people with osteoporosis and those with late-stage cancers that have spread to bone. In recent years there have been a number of trials suggesting these drugs prolong survival in women with breast cancer. However, researchers did not exactly know why. In the medical world, it has been assumed bisphosphonates would not get into tumours other than bone cancers at any concentration that could make a difference. Now a team from Sydney's Garvan Institute of Medical Research has used imaging technology to show exactly how the drugs can target cells in tumours outside the skeleton, including breast cancer. \"\" This study is potentially transformative for treatment of some cancers, because it is telling us for the first time that drugs we thought acted only in bone can also act within tumours completely outside the skeleton,\"\" says project leader Professor Mike Rogers. Breast tumours often contain particles of calcium."

"text": "Preventing and Treating Prostate Cancer Spread to Bones If prostate cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it nearly always goes to the bones first. Bone metastasis can be painful and can cause other problems, such as fractures (breaks) or high blood calcium levels, which can be dangerous or even life threatening. If the cancer has grown outside the prostate, preventing or slowing the spread of the cancer to the bones is a major goal of treatment. If the cancer has already reached the bones, controlling or relieving pain and other complications is also a very important part of treatment. Treatments such as hormone therapy, chemotherapy, and vaccines may help with this, but other treatments more specifically target bone metastasis and the problems it may cause. Bisphosphonates Bisphosphonates are drugs that work by slowing down bone cells called osteoclasts. These cells normally break down the hard mineral structure of bones to help keep them healthy. Osteoclasts often become overactive when prostate cancer spreads to the bones, which can cause problems. Bisphosphonates can be used: To help relieve pain and high calcium levels caused by cancer that has spread to the bones To help slow the growth of cancer that has spread to the bones and help delay or prevent fractures To help strengthen bones in men who are getting hormone therapy Zoledronic acid (Zometa) is the most commonly used bisphosphonate for prostate cancer. This drug is given as an intravenous (IV) injection, usually once every 3 or 4 weeks."

Smoking, certain illnesses (such as diabetes), older age, stress, and other factors increase the risk for periodontal disease. If you have periodontal disease, your dentist may refer you to a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in treating this condition. Without proper treatment, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss. Prevent Periodontal Disease: Practice Good Dental Hygiene Consistent good dental hygiene can help prevent gingivitis and periodontitis. If you smoke, you should quit. Smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease. The American Dental Association recommends that everyone: Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste (be sure to replace toothbrushes every 1 to 3 months). Clean between the teeth with floss or an interdental cleaner. Eat a well-balanced diet and limit snacking between meals."

You might hear bisphosphonates called bone hardening or bone strengthening treatment. They are also a treatment for high levels of calcium in your blood. Cancers that can affect bones Most cancers that affect bones are ones that have started in another part of the body and have spread to the bone (secondary bone cancer). The most common types are myeloma, breast cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer. Some types of cancer treatment can also affect the bones making them weaker, this includes chemotherapy and hormone therapies. How cancer affects bones Cancers that spread to the bones damage the bones as they grow. The cancer cells that have spread into the bones also release proteins that interfere with the normal bone shaping process. These proteins are cytokines and growth factors."

Among other things, the spread of the prostate cancer to the bones (bone metastases) can cause severe pain and fracture, and hormonal therapy for prostate cancer can cause bone loss, fracture, and joint pain. All men are at risk for fractures as they age and this risk is compounded when living with a prostate cancer diagnosis.

You can also click here to listen to our webinar, Prostate Cancer and Bone Health featuring Dr. Alicia Morgans, a genitourinary oncologist at Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center. Bone Metastases When prostate cancer spreads beyond the prostate to another organ, most frequently it spreads to the bone. Prostate cancer that spread to the bone is still prostate cancer when doctors look at it under the microscope. It is still treated with therapy for prostate cancer. A man whose prostate cancer spread to the bone does not have bone cancer. He has prostate cancer that now has the ability to travel through his blood, land in his bones, and grow."

"text": "What Are Bisphosphonates? Important information for patients taking medication for osteoporosis or osteopenia Bisphosphonates are medications used to treat diseases which result in weakened bones; most commonly these diseases include osteoporosis, osteopenia, or bone cancer. Bisphosphonates typically remain in the bones for a long time after they are used—from decades to a lifetime. Fosamax (Alendronate), Actenol (Risendronate), and Boniva (Ibandronate) are the oral forms of this drug, and are used most commonly for osteoporosis. Zometa (Zolendronic acid) and Aredia (Pamidronate) are the intravenous forms, most commonly used to treat cancer involving the bones. Fosamax and Actonel are the most commonly prescribed bisphosphonates, with about 23 million combined prescriptions in 2003. Aredia and Zometa are far more uncommonly used. Bisphosphonates are very effective in helping to prevent fractures of the hips and backbones associated with osteoporosis. They are also very helpful in preventing fractures and pain associated with cancer in the bones. What is their relationship to teeth, and what is jawbone death?"

"text": "\"Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients with cancer Authors: James R Berenson, MD Alison T Stopeck, MD Section Editors: Robert A Kyle, MD Reed E Drews, MD Deputy Editor: Diane MF Savarese, MDINTRODUCTIONOsteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), which was first described in 2002 [ 1 ], is a relatively uncommon but potentially serious side effect of treatment with antiresorptive agents such as intravenous (IV) high potency bisphosphonates ( image 1) and denosumab, which decrease the risk of skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with cancer and metastatic bone disease. The increased dose intensity of anti-resorptive therapy typically prescribed for cancer indications places cancer patients at a substantially higher risk for ONJ than are patients who receive them for other conditions such as osteoporosis and Paget's disease [ 2-5 ]. ONJ has also been described as a complication of cancer therapies that target angiogenesis; however, this association is more controversial with little confirmatory prospective trial data available in the setting of monotherapy with an antiangiogenic agent alone. Use of antiangiogenic agents as a risk factor for medication-related ONJ (MRONJ) among patients receiving antiresorptive agents for cancer is more clearly established. ( See \"\"Toxicity of molecularly targeted antiangiogenic agents: Non-cardiovascular effects\"\", section on 'Osteonecrosis of the jaw' . ) This topic review will describe the incidence, risk factors, staging, clinical course, prevention strategies, and management of MRONJ in patients with cancer who are receiving antiresorptive agents. The incidence, risk factors, and management strategies for MRONJ in patients receiving antiresorptive therapy for osteoporosis and other side effects associated with bisphosphonates and denosumab in patients with cancer are addressed elsewhere. ( See \"\"Denosumab for osteoporosis\"\", section on 'Oversuppression of bone remodeling' and \"\"Risks of therapy with bone antiresorptive agents in patients with advanced malignancy\"\" . ) NOMENCLATURE AND DEFINITIONONJ associated with bisphosphonate treatment has been referred to by several acronyms including BRONJ (bisphosphonate-related ONJ), BRON (bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis), BON (bisphosphonate osteonecrosis), BAONJ (bisphosphonate-associated ONJ), and simply ONJ. The recognition of jaw necrosis as a complication of other drugs, including the RANK (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B) ligand inhibitor denosumab and antiangiogenic agents prompted a special committee of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) to recommend the term medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw as preferred [ 6 ]."

"text": "A ABenefits and risks of osteoporosis drugs Last updated: February 2010Modest benefits | Growing risks | Nondrug alternatives | Should you take a drug to treat osteoporosis or osteopenia? If you've been given a diagnosis of osteoporosis your doctor will probably prescribe a bisphosphonate, a class of drugs that helps preserve and build bone. Alendronate (Fosamax, Fosamax Plus D, and generic), the first bisphosphonate approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis, came on the market in 1995 and proved to be a moneymaker, bringing in nearly $3.2 billion in 2005. That success likely contributed to the introduction of several related drugs to treat osteoporosis, including some in more convenient doses, such as the heavily advertised ibandronate (Boniva), which can be taken orally just once a month or intravenously once every three months. There is also the once-a-year injection drug, zoledronic acid (Reclast, Zometa). But research has found that bisphosphonates offer only modest benefits in building bone and preventing fractures. And all pose risks. Growing evidence has now linked the drugs to a long list of worrisome side effects. Those concerns have recently taken on added urgency as many doctors have started prescribing bisphosphonates not just for people with outright osteoporosis but also for those with osteopenia, or pre-osteoporosis, even though it's less clear that the drugs are effective for this less serious but more common condition. Here's a rundown on the benefits and risks of the drugs, some guidelines to help you decide when these drugs might be worthwhile, and some nondrug alternatives that may reduce or even eliminate your need for medication."

Bisphosphonates inhibit osteoclasts which are responsible for breaking down and reabsorbing minerals such as calcium from bone (the process is known as bone resorption). Bisphosphonates allow osteoblasts (bone building cells) to work more effectively, improving bone mass. Bisphosphonates are used in the treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease of bone, and may be used to lower high calcium levels in people with cancer. When used to treat osteoporosis, the optimal duration of treatment is not yet known; however, the majority of benefits appear to happen within the first five years of treatment and long-term use has been associated with atypical femur fractures, osteonecrosis of the jaw and esophageal cancer.

A previous article described the first reports of ONJ with the use of this drug. The rate of incidence was approximately 2%, similar to the incidence with zoledronic acid (Zometa®), when used in the treatment of certain malignancies. Since then, more reports of denosumab-associated ONJ have surfaced. Denosumab, under the brand name of Prolia®, is indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. Denosumab, under the brand name of Xgeva™, is indicated for the prevention of bone loss due to androgen deprivation therapy in non-metastatic prostate cancer, prevention of bone loss due to aromatase inhibitor therapy in breast cancer and treatment of bone destruction caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Prior to submission to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), denosumab was tested in a Phase III study for its effectiveness in treating certain malignancies. It was compared with a bisphosphonate zoledronic acid (Zometa®). Part of the evaluation included documentation of adverse reactions, including any signs of ONJ. ONJ was observed in both treatment arms, with an incidence of 2.0% in the denosumab group and 1.4% in the zoledronic acid group."

Steinberg, MD, Professor Emeritus, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania NOTE: This is the Consumer Version. DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Osteonecrosis of the jaw is an oral disorder that involves exposure of the jaw bone. Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) can occur after tooth extraction, injury, radiation therapy, or for no apparent reason. ONJ has occurred in some people taking high doses of bisphosphonate drugs intravenously, particularly if they have cancer or undergo oral surgery. To help prevent ONJ, any necessary oral surgery should be done whenever possible before a person takes bisphosphonates. Treatment is best done by an experienced oral surgeon. The disorder may occur spontaneously or after tooth extraction, trauma, or radiation therapy to the head and neck (in which case the disorder is called osteoradionecrosis). ONJ actually may be a bone infection ( osteomyelitis) and not osteonecrosis. ONJ has recently been noticed in some people who have received high doses of bisphosphonates by vein, particularly if they have cancer or undergo oral surgery while receiving the drugs. ONJ has not been linked with the routine use of bisphosphonates taken by mouth as treatment for osteoporosis."

"text": "Pressure Cooker Black Eyed Peas Ring In The New Year The Pressure Cooker Way!Every New Year while growing up, my mother would open a couple cans of black eyed peas, heat them in a saucepan and plop some on the plate, clearing a small space among the ham, sweet potatoes and green bean casserole to fit in the unwelcome legume. “ It brings good luck for the coming year to eat black eyed peas on New Years!”, my mom would say, as my siblings and I (and probably my dad as well) were thinking “This better bring good luck if I have to suffer through this.” And it’s true, canned black eyed peas with no further treatment are indeed quite bland, and the metallic flavor from the can didn’t help. In fact, my mother was even understanding in this matter, and only insisted that we take just one bite, not wanting any of her brood to hit on hard luck during the year. And I don’t think any of us took more than the one bite necessary to stave off bad luck for another 365 days. So unpleasant was the experience, that once on my own, it was many years before I braved a bite of black eyed peas again, and it was then that I made the discovery that “Hey, these things can be pretty darn good!”These days, I not only make black eyed peas for New Year’s (and even other times throughout the year! ), but I make them as an entree, not just something relegated to a tiny section of the plate. Served with rice and collard greens, you have yourself an entire meal. And even if the whole luck thing doesn’t pan out, at least you got the year off to a tasty start."

They are white legumes with a small black dot resembling an eye. These delicious beans are well known in Southern and Southwestern cooking, but the nutrition of the black-eyed pea makes it an excellent addition to any menu. Black-Eyed Peas and the Food Guide Pyramid Although the black-eyed pea is a plant food, on the Food Guide Pyramid, created by the United States Department of Agriculture, the bean is included in the \"\"Meat and Beans\"\" section because it can be used as a protein source instead of an animal food. In fact, many vegetarians use legumes to substitute for meat when planning meals. One serving of black-eyed peas is equal to one-half cup. Calories One serving of black-eyed peas contains 70 calories, making it a low-calorie option when served without additional condiments. The majority of calories comes from carbohydrate sources (16 grams). Each serving also contains three grams of protein. The beans do not contain any fat or cholesterol."

I didn’t plan on growing cowpeas this past summer, but a friend sent me a few packages of heirloom seeds. I fell in love with them, both for their vigor in the garden and their versatility in the kitchen. Why did it take me so long to discover cowpeas? Black-eyed peas… that’s why. “Wait,” everyone says. “ Aren’t cowpeas and black-eyed peas the same?”Black-eyed peas are just one of many types of cowpea. There are pink-eyed, brown-eyed, and green-eyed cowpeas, as well as those without an “eye.” There are cream peas that produce a beautiful light broth when cooked, rather than the dark “pot liquor” of most varieties. There are dainty lady cowpeas, and blocky crowder cowpeas, so-called because they completely fill the pods and crowd each other into cowpea cubes."

Carbohydrates can be classified into categories. CARBOHYDRATES are the body's most preferred source of energy. They make up, by far, the largest volume (60%) of our daily food. They are taken in the form of all foods made up of grain flour, cereals, pasta, potatoes and other vegetables, and also in the form of sugars contained in fruits, syrups, honey and candy, as well as in the pure crystalline form of our familiar table \"\"sugar\"\". Carbohydrate is the element in our food which:supplies the energy for the body's automatic activity and for the performance of our daily tasks.

I always knew that there were foods that I was eating that many of my friends growing up would either never have an opportunity to try or would absolutely never put in their mouths. One of those foods were Black Eyed Peas. My mom used to serve them to us with malt vinegar on the side but any way you serve them they are really quite a different flavor from all the beans I have ever had. But I do love them!The black-eyed pea, also called black-eyed bean is a subspecies of the cowpea and are easily recognized by it is pale-colored with a prominent black spot. Tonight I finally pulled out the Pressure canner and put together a small batch of Black Eyed Peas. Last night I rinsed and put the beans in a pot to soak in clean water overnight. When I got home this evening from work I got to work setting up the canner and preparing the beans (peas) to get into jars. I used the basic bean canning recipe but added some onions, black peppercorns, and some dried herbs. They look great and all the lids pinged."

Perfect for hot summer days! ~Elise I spent much of my life thinking that black-eyed peas were a Southern thing, and then I worked in an Ethiopian restaurant, where the African clientele told me that black-eyed peas actually come from Africa. Years later, I began cooking Greek food—imagine my surprise to find all sorts of dishes using black-eyed peas! I have no idea how they became so popular in Greece, but there you go. This black-eyed pea salad a Greek-inspired side dish I’ve done in various forms over the years. I love black-eyed peas because they cook very fast and need no pre-soaking the way a lot of regular beans do. My cooking method is a little unorthodox, but it’s a trick I picked up from the renowned French food scientist Herve This. This (pronounced TEE-S) says that all beans cook best beneath a boil: That means no simmering even, just steam."

"text": "A List of Starch-Based Foods That You Should Eatby KELSEY CASSELBURY Oct. 03, 2017The popularity of low-carb diets might leave you thinking that starches are pure evil, at least when it comes to weight loss. But many types of starches -- also known as complex carbohydrates -- contain a wealth of beneficial nutrients, including fiber, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, making them a valuable part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation. Pick and choose which starches to include in your diet, limiting processed, refined starches in favor of nutrient-dense options such as whole grains, starchy vegetables and legumes. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Beans and Lentils When it comes to choosing healthy starches, beans and lentils should be at the top of your list. Dr. Melina Jampolis, a physician and nutrition specialist on CNN Health, calls beans one of the healthiest starch options because they are a rich source of fiber, plant-based protein and antioxidants. Lentils also contain protein and fiber, and each 1/2-cup serving offers 3.4 grams of resistant starch, which Health.com says helps to boost metabolism and burn fat. Other healthy legumes include dried peas, such as black-eyed and split peas. Potatoes of All Sorts White potatoes might be higher on the glycemic index -- a tool for measuring how quickly a food raises your blood sugar -- than other foods, but they also offer a variety of nutrients, including potassium in the flesh and fiber in the skin. Sweet potatoes are particularly nutritious; the skin offers plenty of fiber, while the pinky-orange flesh contains beta-carotene, an antioxidant that could help prevent or manage arthritis and also contribute to the health of your skin, hair and eyes. Sweet potatoes also provide potassium and vitamin C. Starchy Vegetables Beyond potatoes, choose from a variety of starchy vegetables such as winter squashes, including butternut, acorn and kobacha, as well as green peas and corn."

Peas are great eaten fresh, but by freezing, canning or drying, even a relatively small crop can have your family enjoying peas all year around. Pea varieties consist of three basic types: shelling peas, snap peas and snow peas. Although they have different edible properties and harvest recommendations, the growing requirements for each are very similar. Another popular \"\"pea\"\" for small-scale growers, the black-eyed pea, is actually a bean, but is also a popular choice for large-scale gardens. This article explains the difference between the three types of peas and advice on trellising, planting, water requirements and pest control. It also provides advice on growing the black-eyed pea or cowpea, which requires a slightly different approach to cultivation than the \"\"true\"\" peas. Shelling peas Shelling peas, also known as the garden pea or English pea, have tough, fibrous pods that must be removed prior to consumption. Each pod usually contains several peas.

It is fun to experiment with recipes that incorporate favorite Southern ingredients in new and different ways.

Hummus is usually made from mashed chickpeas seasoned with lemon juice, garlic, and olive or sesame oil. Served with pita chips, hummus is a popular savory dip or snack. Used for generations in soul food, the black-eyed pea is thought to have come to the colonies via the African slave trade. The customary preparation method of black-eyed peas was similar to vegetables like collards and green beans, and that was to leave them simmering on the stovetop. Along with the iconic Hoppin’ John New Year’s dish, black-eyed peas have found their way into salads, soups, and even this delicious hummus dip.

But, waiting for the seeds to germinate can be frustrating. There are many flower seeds that germinate faster than others. There are also flowers that grow faster once their seeds have germinated. Selecting these fast-growing flower seeds will have your garden blooming soon. Annual Seeds Annual flower seeds generally germinate quicker than perennial flower seeds and therefore are more popular with gardeners. Because many annual flower seeds germinate and grow rapidly, in most cases it is better to wait until the last frost and sow your annual flower directly into your garden space. Popular annual flower seeds offering fast growth are zinnias, bachelor buttons, cosmos, sunflowers, calendulas, marigolds, delphiniums and nasturtiums. In three to four weeks you should have young seedlings growing. Perennial Seeds Growing your perennial flowers from seeds can be frustrating, not only because the seeds can take longer to germinate than annual flower seeds, but also because most perennial flowering plants that are started from seed will not bloom the first year of growth."

"text": "Cluster of dandelion flowers demonstrating the beauty of some weeds Some of the most common perennial broadleaf weeds in Missouri lawns include bindweed, chicory, creeping bellflower, dandelion, ground ivy, mouseear chickweed, plantain, thistle, violets, and white clover. They differ from annual weeds in that they continue to grow year after year and once established, they are not affected by preemergent herbicides. NOTE: See separate sheets for more information on controlling violets, yellow nutsedge, or wild garlic and onions. Integrated Pest Management Strategies1. Hand dig or spot treat. If only a few weeds are present, hand dig the weeds with a forked tool to cut the root off well below ground level. You can also spot treat using glyphosate (Roundup, Kleenup) or the chemicals listed below. Since glyphosate (Roundup, Kleenup) is NOT selective, it will also kill any grass you get it on so apply very carefully. This method works best with weeds such as thistle or large plantain plants. The herbicide can also be brushed on individual weeds, avoiding the grass."

Acclaimed internationally as one of the most popular perennials for the past fifty years, its bright golden-yellow flowers shine in gardens worldwide. In 1937 Heinrich Hagemann observed a glorious stand of Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii at Gebrueder Schuetz's nursery in the Czech Republic. Recognizing the superiority over other commonly-grown Rudbeckia species, Hagemann convinced his employer Karl Foerster of Potsdam, Germany to propagate his discovery. World War II interfered with the planned debut of the plant and it was not until 1949 that the triumphant success of Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii renamed 'Goldsturm' began. ' Goldsturm' translates to English as \"\"gold storm.\"\" Heinrich Hagemann, although retired, maintains an active interest in his company, the world-renowned Hagemann Staudenkulturen."

Frowine, The National Gardening Association Although you can plant some perennials in your flower garden in the fall, springtime is preferable. All the conditions that perennials relish and respond to are in place: warming soil, warm sunshine, longer days, moist ground, and regular rainfall. Roots quest into the ground, taking up water and nutrients to fuel growth, and top growth — foliage, stems, and flowers — surges forth. Whether you choose to plant in the spring or fall, you handle them all the same: Here are some tips about the proper handling of perennials: Don’t handle the plants roughly. Don’t plunk a root-bound plant into the ground. Either tease apart the roots a bit or lightly score the sides with a sharp knife, which inspires new root growth. Then you may place the perennial in its planting hole. Don’t plant perennials in waterlogged ground, or drench them right after planting. A moderate dose of water is a needed drink; too much water prohibits oxygen from getting to the roots, and the plants literally drown or rot. Spring planting When getting ready for spring planting, make sure you do the following: Harden off the plants."

"text": "\"Today’s Wonder of the Day was inspired by Eugene. Eugene Wonders, “ Which flowers are annual and which flowers are seasonal ” Thanks for WONDERing with us, Eugene!Listen H ave you ever noticed that some flowers need to be planted each spring, while others pop up all by themselves year after year? That's because some of them are annual plants and some are perennial plants. Annual plants are plants with a life cycle that lasts only one year. They grow from seed, bloom, produce seeds, and die in one growing season. They then need to be replanted each spring. Most annuals bloom for a long time. They provide beautiful colors from spring through fall and are popular with flower gardeners. Some favorite annuals are petunias, marigolds, and zinnias. Perennial plants live for more than two years."

Spreading annuals in particular are a sensible investment because they will quickly fill an empty space if cared for properly. Sun Lovers Annuals are plants that die when the first freezing temperatures arrive. Many also wilt in the hot summer sun. Sun-loving annuals, however, will bloom all summer long -- even in the hottest temperatures. Grow these plants in any of Sunset's Climate Zones, but remember that they will die when fall arrives in climates that have freezing temperatures. Verbenas are long-flowering, spreading annuals desirable for their spreading habit. They carpet the ground with brightly colored blooms and can spread up to 5 feet, depending on the cultivar. \"\""

Also known as black-eyed Susan or orange coneflower, Rudbeckia (Rudbeckia fulgida) is an old-fashioned late summer bloomer with bright yellow-orange, daisy-like petals with contrasting black, cone-shaped centers, and dark green foliage. Rudbeckia grows to a height of 18 to 30 inches at maturity, depending on the variety. A tough perennial that adapts well to transplantation, Rudbeckia is suitable for growing in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 9.1Transplant Rudbeckia before new growth begins in spring, which allows several weeks for the roots to establish before the arrival of hot weather. While fall is an acceptable time for transplantation, the plant may suffer damage to the roots during the winter months. Either way, choose a cool, overcast day.2Prepare the new planting space by working the soil to a depth of at least 8 to 10 inches with a spade or garden fork. Dig in up to 4 inches of compost or well-rotted manure. Rudbeckia tolerates either full sun or partial shade.3Dig in a circle around the Rudbeckia, about 8 to 10 inches from the center of the plant. Dig deeply to avoid damaging the roots, and then lift the plant, along with the soil mass, from the ground.4Make a hole in the new planting area, digging a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots and the soil mass. Place the plant in the hole, with the top of the soil mass even with the surface of the surrounding soil.5Fill the hole with soil, and then pat the soil lightly with the back of the shovel.6Water the plant deeply to saturate the soil around the roots."

"text": "\"Home »Flowers What Flowers Attract Monarch Butterflies? By Marci Degman; Updated September 21, 2017Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) are vividly colored and fascinating to watch. Their presence greatly enhances the natural environment of a garden. Unfortunately monarch butterfly numbers have been declining over the years. One reason is habitat destruction. Another factor is the use of pesticides and herbicides. These chemicals can kill the butterflies and their host and nectar plants. By avoiding the use of pesticides and herbicides as well as providing milkweed plants to host the butterflies and nectar plants to feed them, we can do our part in aiding their survival. Host Flowers for Monarch Butterflies Monarch butterflies have one particular species of flower on which they lay their eggs and feed their offspring: milkweed. Milkweed plants are members of the Asclepiadaceae family and are the host plant of monarchs."

"text": "\"i Stock.com1 / 8 Tick Bites and the Risk of Serious Infections Don't let their small size and inconspicuous nature fool you: Ticks can give you or your pet harmful infectious diseases, including Lyme disease. And ticks that carry disease are growing in number and covering a wider geographical area as our climate changes, notes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), prompting concern over \"\"super ticks . \"\" Ticks of concern in the United States include deer, brown dog, American dog, lone star, Rocky Mountain wood, Gulf Coast, and western black-legged ticks, according to the CDC. Not only can these blood-sucking bugs cause Lyme disease, but they're also responsible for infections like Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia, and tick paralysis. The best way to avoid Lyme disease is to prevent tick bites. If you hike, stay in the middle of the trail away from the tips of branches where ticks gather. Use insect repellent containing DEET on your skin, clothes, and gear. Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and choose light-colored clothing so you can spot ticks right away. After being outdoors, carefully inspect your own skin and that of your pets for ticks or tick bites. If you've been bitten by a tick and it's embedded in your skin, the best way to remove it is with fine-tip tweezers."

People of all ages can get Lyme disease, which is caused by the bacteria, Borrelia burgdorferi. The bacteria are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected deer tick. The deer tick ( Ixodes scapularis) is also called the black legged tick. Signs and Symptoms Recognizing the early signs and symptoms of Lyme disease is important. If you have one or more of these signs and symptoms within 3 to 30 days after a deer tick bite or spending time in wooded areas where deer ticks are present, see your physician immediately. A characteristic skin rash, called erythema migrans, has a “bull’s eye” appearance – a red ring with a central clearing Not everyone recognizes or gets the rash Not all rashes have central clearing Fever and chills Fatigue Muscle and joint pain Headache The rash begins as a small, raised red area that may expand to several inches in diameter. It may appear on one or more places on the body and is usually not painful or itchy. If a person is not treated early in the disease, these late signs and symptoms may develop weeks, months, or years after the tick bite: Multiple rashes Facial paralysis on one side Weakness, numbness, or pain in arms and legs Irregular heartbeat Memory, concentration problems Chronic arthritis in one or more joints, usually the knees, which may be swollen and painful Diagnosis and Treatment The diagnosis of Lyme disease is based on signs and symptoms, presence of the characteristic rash, and a history of exposure to deer ticks."

"text": "Controlling deer ticks By Richard C. Falco, Fordham University Considering the large amount of press given to mosquitoes and West Nile virus in recent years, it may surprise you to know that when it comes to public health, the most important arthropod in the nation is still the deer tick. This tiny tick is responsible for more people getting sick in this country than all other arthropods combined. During the past ten years, more than 100,000 cases of Lyme disease have been reported in the United States, in addition to cases of babesiosis and the more recently described ehrlichiosis. The pathogens that cause all three of these diseases are transmitted to humans by the bite of the deer tick. The deer tick ( Ixodes scapularis ), also known as the black-legged tick, is found throughout the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest and some areas of the Southwest. Not coincidentally, Lyme disease is also reported in these areas, with the real “hot spot” being in the tri-state region of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. In many of these areas, deer tick populations continue to increase. As their populations grow, so does the risk of contracting a tick-borne disease. As a consequence, there is increased pressure on landscape professionals to develop and implement programs designed to effectively control deer ticks and reduce the risk for Lyme disease, ehrlichiosis and babesiosis in both residential and recreational settings. Life cycle of the deer tick To understand how best to control ticks, you must understand the tick's life history."

Reducing exposure to ticks is your best defense against contracting Lyme disease. There are a variety of methods you can use to prevent and control Lyme disease. Avoid Tick Infested Areas Although generally only about 1 percent of all deer ticks are infected with Lyme disease bacteria, in some areas more than half of them harbor the germs. More people with Lyme disease become infected during May through July, when immature ticks are most prevalent. In warm climates, deer ticks thrive and bite during the winter months as well. Deer ticks are most often found in wooded and bushy areas with tall grass and leaf litter, as well as nearby shady grasslands, and are especially common where the two areas merge."

"text": "Ticks & Disease in Florida Ticks can be found throughout the year in Florida, but there are seasonal differences in the abundance of nymphs and adults. Ticks in either stage can transmit any diseases they carry, so quick removal of ticks and prevention of tick bites are both important. There can be an increased risk of disease from nymphs because they are often small enough to avoid being noticed. Tick Types Brown Dog Tick The brown dog tick feeds mainly on dogs and is usually found in areas where dogs frequent. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently identified the brown dog tick as a vector for Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) in the southwestern United States and along the Mexican border. American Dog Tick American dog ticks are usually found on dogs, but they will also attach to other mammals and humans. Unlike the brown tick, it is typically an outdoor tick, not a household pest. This tick can carry RMSF. Nymphs feed on rodents, but adults will attach to humans. Adults are abundant from March through September."

After further study, they determined that HGE is actually caused by a bacterium, Anaplasma phagacytophilum. HME is caused by a bacterium, Ehrlichia chaffeensis. Symptoms of ehrlichiosis/anaplasmosis include: fever, malaise, headaches, chills, severe muscle aches, vomiting, anemia, lung infection, decreased white blood cells and platelets, elevated liver enzymes, seizures, encephalopathy, meningitis, confusion, ataxia and cranial nerve palsy. Co-infection with Lyme can cause more severe symptoms. Death can result. Treatment is with doxycycline. Ticks that transmit anaplasmosis include Ixodes scapularis (deer tick or black legged tick) and Ixodes pacificus (western black legged tick). Ticks that transmit ehrlichiosis (HME) include Amblyomma americanum (lone star) and Dermacentor variabilis (American dog).

Climate change gets a lot of press for creating extreme weather and threatening sea coasts with rising tides, but a problem that doesn't often turn up is the risk it creates for the world's pets. The problem? As the climate heats up, it's become less unusual to find record-hot days in traditionally cold months like November and December, which means that ticks and fleas are finding the world a more hospitable place and our dogs, cats and small animals (like rabbits) have better odds of catching diseases spread by fleas and ticks. If you're interested in what's happening as far as climate change and fleas and ticks are concerned, here's what you can expect. Fleas and Ticks Are Expanding Their Territory As temperatures rise, certain areas of the country are becoming more inviting to fleas and ticks. Worldwide climate trends continue to break records, with 2016 being the hottest year ever on record, according to NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This might explain why ticks that can spread Lyme disease have been making their way through northern Sweden for the last 30 years. Meanwhile, in the United States, black-legged ticks (which transfer Lyme and other diseases) have approximately doubled in the last two decades. Twenty years ago, you'd never see them, for instance, in Northern Minnesota, and now you do."

Deer ticks usually refer to the blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) and the western blacklegged tick (Ixodes pacificus), while wood tick refers to the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) and the Rocky Mountain wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni). The common name deer tick is somewhat antiquated, but is still a frequently used name that is now correctly referred to as blacklegged tick. WOOD TICKS Both species of wood ticks are members of the family Ixodidae, the hard ticks. They are dark brown in color with silver-gray or whitish coloring on their back. Both have a dorsal plate on their back called the scutum, and their mouthparts are visible when viewed from above the tick. The males are slightly smaller than the females in the adult stage. Both species have six legs in the larval stage; eight legs in the nymphal and adult stages; and undergo a life cycle that consists of four stages: eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults. Neither of these ticks is considered a vector of Lyme disease, but they do transmit other diseases and both species are known to cause tick paralysis, a condition triggered by a toxin that is released from the tick’s salivary glands when taking a blood meal. The American dog tick is the primary tick vector of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in the eastern United States and can also transmit tularemia."

Lyme disease is a potentially serious disease, and can be localized or affect multiple body systems. In the United States, the disease is caused almost exclusively by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, a corkscrew-shaped bacterium. Five additional species of Lyme disease-group spirochetes have been described from California, but only one of them, Borrelia bissettii, has been found to occasionally infect people. Lyme disease spirochetes are transmitted to humans and other animals by the feeding activities of certain ticks. Of the 48 tick species established in California, 6 species attach to humans with some regularity, but only nymphs (an immature tick life-stage) and adult females of the western blacklegged tick, Ixodes pacificus, transmit Borrelia burgdorferi to people.

These natural remedies have a proven track record, however, none of them are overnight cures. They work far faster than the months or years it takes a wart to disappear on its own, if it ever disappears."

Luckily, all is not lost and you can successfully tackle this issue. In order to find out why these dark skin patches develop around your neck and how to treat them, keep reading this article. What Is The Medical Term For Neck Skin Darkening? Dark patches that develop at the back of your neck are a quite common occurrence. The medical term for this condition is acanthosis nigricans. It is a skin condition that causes one or multiple areas of skin to darken and thicken. In most cases, patients also report that their skin feels “velvety”. Acanthosis nigricans isn’t a contagious skin condition and it won’t affect other people. In most cases, it’s not even dangerous."

Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells in the skin. Left untreated, with certain types of skin cancer, these cells can spread to other organs and tissues, such as lymph nodes and bone. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, affecting 1 in 5 Americans during their lifetimes, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. How skin works How your skin works Your skin works as a barrier to protect your body against things like water loss, bacteria, and other harmful contaminants. The skin has two basic layers: a deeper, thicker layer (the dermis) and an outer layer (the epidermis). The epidermis contains three main types of cells. The outermost layer is composed of squamous cells, which are constantly shedding and turning over. The deeper layer is called the basal layer and is made of basal cells."

Their function is partially unknown, but scientists suppose they are there to lubricate the nipple/areola area. These Montgomery glands can be about unnoticeable, OR stand out as bumps on the areola. They often become more prominent during pregnancy. Also, it appears they are white in some women. Some women have squeezed them and can get a white substance out, but please do NOT squeeze them because that causes them to become infected. In one study, it was noted that women with more areolar glands had better or more optimal breastfeeding start after delivery."

During my entire career as a manual therapist, I’ve worked with professional athletes who suffered from fascial restrictions. Yet, when I would say the word “fascia” to my clients, the question I typically got was “what is fascia?” Even some of those with medical backgrounds were fuzzy on the role fascia plays in our day-to-day. Hundreds of health, pain, and even beauty issues we face stem from fascia! Fascia’s role is so significant that it cannot be removed from any human condition. So without further ado, here is a quick glance into the world of fascia and my take on it. I hope you will have many “aha” moments reading through this information - and if this is the first you’ve heard of fascia, prepare to have your mind blown!What is fascia?

"text": "H e n n a - dos and don'ts for best stain While henna is known by many names including Henne, Al-Khanna, Jamaica Mignonette, Egyptian Privet and Smooth Lawsonia, the art of its application is referred to as Henna (Arabic) or Mehndi (Hindu). As much as making the henna tattoo is an art, saving the tattoo for longer & getting a dark & rich color is an art as well & its something only you can do. An artist's job is done as soon as the tattoo design is completed & your job starts from that very moment. Lawsone molecules form very strong bonds with protein molecules and also penetrate the skin quite well. If you put some lawsone on your skin, which has a lot of protein, the lawsone will seep in deeply and stick to the proteins. Henna contains hennotannic acid that binds with cells, so the henna paste must stay moist and in contact with the skin for a while. When applied, the henna paste is always black, but the resulting pattern with natural henna varies from light orange to dark brown. Henna tattoo stain will be light/bright orange at first and will darken to a deep brown over the next 48-60 hours. This gradual darkening of the stain is a sign that the henna paste is 100% natural!I strongly recommend to get the Henna tattoo at least 2 days before the Wedding or occasion so the stain reaches to its peak color. It depends on you how well you take care of it to make it last longer."

Eyebrow enhancement is most successful when it is just that: an enhancement of the original thing. It is not intended that these tools be used for creating brand new eyebrows. Some people use them for such purposes, but keep in mind that drawn-on eyebrows almost always look very fake. Instead, enhance what is already present. Accentuate the eyes. Define the brows' natural contour. People with good-looking eyebrows tend to have eyebrows that make the eyes look good. The shape and thickness of someone's eyebrows should be based on the size and intensity of the eyes. The color of the brows should primarily be dictated by the color of the hair."

Problem is, not everyone has a healthy diet!So, if you want to know which supplements to take and what foods to eat, this simple guide explains all. Supplements, Not Substitutes!First of all, remember that the vitamins, minerals and other supplements listed below are no substitute for a decent diet. But, taken alongside the foods for vitamins and foods for minerals explained in the sections below and, in time * you might just find that they can improve hair health and contribute to hair regrowth by helping thinning hair thicken up and reducing your rate of hair loss. * It could take months before you start to see improvements. But, if you persevere and do eventually realize that your hair feels stronger, looks thicker and less hair is falling out, then you'll know that it was all worth the wait. And if patience is not your strong point, then consider this: at least you'll be using a totally natural approach to tackle your hair loss. Supplement List of Vitamins for Thinning Hair The following vitamins are often considered to be the most beneficial for hair growth: Vitamin AVitamin B complex Vitamin CVitamin EThe vitamin B complex includes: B3, B5, B6, B12, folic acid, PABA, inositol, biotin, choline.

Ringworm, also known as dermatophytosis or tinea, is a fungal infection of the skin. The name “ringworm” is a misnomer, since the infection is caused by a fungus, not a worm. Ringworm infection can affect both humans and animals. The infection initially presents with red patches on affected areas of the skin and later spreads to other parts of the body. The infection may affect the skin of the scalp, feet, groin, beard, or other areas. Pictures Pictures of ringworm Symptoms Recognizing ringworm Symptoms vary depending on where you’re infected. With a skin infection, you may experience the following:red, itchy, scaly, or raised patchespatches that develop blisters or begin to oozepatches that may be redder on the outside edges or resemble a ringpatches with edges that are defined and raised If you’re experiencing dermatophytosis in your nails, they may become thicker or discolored, or they may begin to crack.

"text": "\"Human hair comes with all sorts of colors, textures and shapes. Notably, African hair is more coiled and dry; Asian hair is straighter and thicker; and Caucasian hair is somewhere in between with around 45% having straight hair, 40% having wavy hair, and 15% having curly hair. These variations are determined by many genes and genetic polymorphisms in combination with environmental factors (and not in the least by hair stylists!). At this point there is much more that we don’t know than what we do know. Here are some interesting research results that shed some light in this area: The gene for curly hair in Caucasians It has been long established that curly hair is a dominant trait in Caucasians and straight hair is recessive. This means two things: 1) if a person carries one allele for curly hair and another for straight hair, this person will have curly hair; 2) curly hair is a simple trait and is most likely determined by one single gene. However, a single gene has yet to be found to be solely responsible for the curly (or straight) hair trait in Caucasians. A recent genome wide association scan has found a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) called rs11803731 in the TCHH gene which accounts for about 6% of hair curliness. The TCHH gene encodes a protein called trichohyalin, which is known to be expressed at high levels in hair follicles and has been shown to be involved in the cross-linking of the keratin filaments found in hair. The ancestral allele of this SNP (the A-allele) is present in the worldwide population."

According to New Zealand Cancer Registry data, 2256 invasive melanomas were diagnosed in 2008 and about 10% were pathologically lentigo maligna melanoma. Rates of the precursor, lentigo maligna, are not reported by national cancer registries but it is thought to be the most common variant of melanoma in situ in New Zealand and Australia. What is lentigo maligna? Lentigo maligna is an early form of melanoma in which the malignant cells are confined to the tissue of origin, the epidermis, hence it is often reported as ‘in situ’ melanoma. It occurs in sun damaged skin so is generally found on the face or neck, particularly the nose and cheek. It grows slowly in diameter over 5 to 20 years or longer. Lentigo maligna melanoma is diagnosed when the malignant melanoma cells have invaded into the dermis and deeper layers of skin. Lentigo maligna has a lower rate of transformation to invasive melanoma than the other forms of melanoma in situ (under 5% overall)."

Ring-necked snakes are secretive, nocturnal snakes, so are rarely seen during the day time. They are slightly venomous, but their nonaggressive nature and small, rear-facing fangs pose little threat to humans who wish to handle them. They are best known for their unique defense posture of curling up their tails, exposing their bright red-orange posterior, ventral surface when threatened. Ring-necked snakes are believed to be fairly abundant throughout most of their range, though no scientific evaluation supports this hypothesis. Scientific research is lacking for the ring-necked snake, and more in-depth investigations are greatly needed. [ 4] It is the only species within the genus Diadophis, and currently 14 subspecies are identified, but many herpetologists question the morphologically based classifications.

Cottonmouths are venomous and highly aquatic snakes that are sometimes called “water moccasins.” They are closely related to copperheads. In South Carolina, cottonmouths typically live in the sandhills and coastal plain regions, but do not enter the piedmont nor mountain regions of the state. They would typically be found below an imaginary line reaching from upper Chesterfield county through upper Richland County, across Edgefield and Mc Cormick Counties. They inhabit swamps, streams, floodplains, and other wetland habitats. There are records of this species in Mc Cormick and Edgefield Counties, above the Fall-Line, but these occur in the Savannah River Valley, on Coastal Plain terraces that “follow” the river across the Fall-Line. Do snakes ever attack or chase people? The basic answer is no – most snakes either lay perfectly still – or flee when approached by a person."

Leptotyphlops dulcis Texas Blind Snake Leptotyphlops humilis Western Blind Snake FAMILY BOIDAE (boas and pythons)Boidae is a large family of snakes that includes all five of the world's giant snakes. Boids are an ancient family that are characterized by a mixture of modern and primitive traits. They have flexible jaws found in more advanced families but also retain a pelvic girdle, vestigial hind limbs, and many use both lungs. While there are close to one hundred species of boids worldwide, there are only two species of boas found in North America, both in the sub-family Eryciniae."

It is endemic to North America. Contents [ hide ]1 Etymology2 Description3 Geographic range4 Behavior5 Habitat6 Reproduction7 Diet8 Predation9 References10 Further reading11 External links Etymology [ edit]The subspecific name, edwardsii, is in honor of English ornithologist George Edwards, who described it, without giving it a binomial name, from a specimen he had received from William Bartram. [ 2] [3] [4]Description [ edit]The Northern ringneck snake has a body color from bluish grey to black, with a complete narrow yellow or orange ring around its neck and an underside matching the ring and generally lacking any dark spotting or patterning. The complete ring and lack of large dark spots on the belly differentiate it from other subspecies of D. punctatus. [ 5] In some regions, there are areas of intergradation with other subspecies. Generally from 10 to 15 inches (25 to 38 centimetres) long as an adult, they can reach more than two feet (61 cm) in length. [ 6]Geographic range [ edit]In Canada it is found in the southern parts of Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, and also in Nova Scotia. In the United States it is found throughout New England, the Mid-Atlantic states, and the Great Lakes region, and also at higher elevations in the South. More specifically, it is found in the following: NE Alabama, Connecticut, NW Georgia, SE Illinois, S Indiana, Kentucky, W Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, NE Minnesota, N New Jersey, New York, W North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, extreme NW South Carolina, E Tennessee, W (western) Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Florida.

Credit: Don Richards CC-BY-2.0Full Answer Snake eggs are covered in leathery shells that get larger as the baby grows inside. When it is time to hatch, the baby snake uses an egg tooth to break out of its shell. This tooth falls out after birth. Most female snakes leave their eggs shortly after laying them somewhere safe, such as in a hole, burrow or hollow log."

Three longitudinal stripes run down the bodies of most eastern garter snakes. The snake is similar in appearance to the ribbon snake, although not as slender. Garter snakes generally make their homes in hillside, meadow, woodland or marsh areas and prefer habitats near a permanent source of water, like a stream, lake, pond or even a ditch."

In line with their name, they indeed have conspicuous rings around their necks. Neck Ring Ring-necked snakes' bodies are predominantly darkish in coloration, bar their necks and lower portions. Their necks feature prominent yellow rings. The single rings are occasionally orange or off-white, as well. Some of their rings are continuous, while others are not. Certain subspecies of ring-necked snakes sometimes have extremely subtle rings around their necks. Key ringneck snakes (Diadophis punctatus aricus) often have barely visible rings.

I live in NJ (Southern) and beleive the only rattlesnake here is the Pine Rattler and do live in a heavily wooded area.

Email Save Comment 60 Like Comments (60)wayne_mo I have heard this idea more often associated with cottonmouths and copperheads which have musk glands near their cloaca which can emit a foul smelling fluid when the snake is threatened but I've really only noticed this smell one time when I frightened a cottonmouth that vibrated its tail and expelled musk before fleeing under a log. I have unwittingly stepped into a concentration of cottonmouths near a den before without smelling anything even though there were a half dozen snakes within a few feet of me. Timber Rattlesnakes are your rattlesnake species in Southern New Jersey. I haven't heard this idea associated with them before. And while there is a grain of truth to the idea with cottonmouths and copperheads I can't say as though I have ever noticed this to be true other than the one time a snake expelled a significant amount of musk in retreat.

"text": "\"The Facts In Massachusetts we have fourteen species of native snakes. Most of them, even as adults, are less than three feet long, and several are generally less than a foot in length. None of them are aggressive, although - like most animals - they will defend themselves if threatened, injured or captured. Even then, the defensive maneuvers of several species are nothing more offensive than releasing foul-smelling anal secretions. Other species attempt to frighten or intimidate potential enemies through bluff: flattening their heads, puffing up their bodies, rattling their tails or hissing. In self defense, some will indeed bite, but except in the case of our two extremely rare, venomous species, the resulting wounds are superficial. Our nonvenomous snakes all possess short, thin, very sharp teeth that leave clean, shallow wounds (rarely requiring even a bandage), and which - unlike the bites of mammals - carry no threat of disease. The important thing to remember is that unless you attempt to harm or capture a snake, it is almost impossible to get bitten. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning. Reproduction Depending on the species, snakes may be egg-layers or give birth to live young."

The snake hunts small animals and when it locates its prey, it uses its strong body to wrap around it and suffocate it before consuming it. The snake breeds in early to late spring and gives birth to four to 20 eggs at one time. The incubation period is 7 to 12 weeks and the snakes reach full maturity around the age of 3 years."

"text": "\"While it is true that snakes often hide in holes, they do not construct their holes themselves -- these are primarily the former holes of rodents, turtles and frogs. Additionally, snakes hide inside tree hollows, or under the leaf litter, rocks or bark. Digging Behavior Most terrestrial snakes can burrow through leaf litter or exceptionally loose soil, but few snakes can dig into packed earth. Some snakes native to areas with loose substrates are effective excavators, including the sand boas (Eryx sp.) of Asia and Africa as well as womas (Aspidites ramsayi) and black-headed pythons (Aspidites melanocephalus) from the deserts of Australia. However, in many cases, the loose sand does not retain the structure of a proper burrow -- they essentially bury themselves. Common Snake Retreats Snakes spend much of their lives hiding from predators, and they use a variety of micro-habitats to accomplish this. Scarlet kingsnakes (Lampropeltis elapsoides) like to live under the bark of dead pine trees, while black rat snakes (Pantherophis alleghaniensis) live in the holes of hardwood trees high above the ground. Ringneck snakes (Diadophis punctatus) and brown snakes (Storeria dekayi) hide under a variety of surface objects like bark, logs or rocks, though they will also burrow deep into leaf litter. Characteristics of Snake Holes Snakes prefer snug accommodations that make them feel safe."

They are highly intelligent and have friendly, outgoing personalities. When many people think of a parakeet as a pet, the small budgie parakeet (Budgerigar) is often the kind that comes to mind. The budgie is one of the most popular parakeet species. Besides being very friendly and playful, it is hardy and easy to care for, and one of the least expensive types of parakeets. A great experience with a budgie parakeet often leads to becoming a bird enthusiast, and a desire to explore other exotic parakeets from the Psittacidae family.

"text": "The Most Venomous Animals in the World12 April 3, 2015It seems that our fears of animals are based around two main themes; there are those with the big pointy teeth that are just looking for an excuse to eat us alive and there are those that, whilst seemingly innocuous, pack a secret weapon so deadly that half the world seem to have a phobia about them. These are the venomous animals that can deliver lethal toxins through their bites and stings. Unlike many of the factors involved in ranking an animals danger to man, the strength of venom can and has been measured. This is recorded as the LD 50 (median lethal dose) which basically tells us how much is required to kill an average human (or mouse). The most powerful of these natural toxins are nearly 1,000 times more deadly than poisons such as arsenic and cyanide. Venomous vs Poisonous Now there seems to be a good deal of confusion about whether an animal is venomous or poisonous. Venomous creatures are often described as poisonous and vice versa. Both types have toxins, and both types can be considered dangerous, where they differ is in how they deliver this. Poisons require the victim to ingest/eat them, or can be absorbed through the skin when touched. However, a venom is injected into the victim by means of a bite or a sting."

Go to: Abstract Black widow spiders ( Latrodectus mactans) are found throughout the US. Though bites are relatively uncommon, they pose a significant health problem with over 2500 reported to American poison control centers annually. Black widow spider bites cause a characteristic envenomation syndrome consisting of severe pain, muscle cramping, abdominal pain, and back pain. The significant pain associated with envenomation is often refractory to traditional analgesics. Antivenom (Antivenin Latrodectus mactans) is available and effective, but is often withheld because of a fear of acute hypersensitivity reactions. We report four cases of symptomatic black widow spider envenomation. One of the reported cases was managed without antivenom, and, in contrast, three were treated successfully with Antivenin Latrodectus mactans."

The female black widow will, on occasion, kill and eat the male after mating. More than 35,000 species of spiders occur worldwide. About 3,400 species of spiders in 64 families are found in North America. Description/Identification Female black widow spiders are about .5 inch long, to about 1.5 inches long when the legs are spread. Males are about half the female's size, with smaller bodies and longer legs. Both females and males have shiny, globular abdomens and are mostly black, and sometimes brown.

Because most spider bites are not dangerous, the bites usually do not need medical treatment. Likewise, not all scorpion stings are life threatening.

In fact, it is so large that it represents half of the remaining rainforests on Earth. It is an amazing natural sanctuary, home to unique plants and roughly 16,000 species of animals, many of which cannot be found in other parts of the world. Some scientists even say that there is a new species of animal discovered in the Amazon rainforest every 3 days!All of these animals are fascinating in their own ways, well-adapted to life in the rainforest, and most of them are a joy to photograph and even to simply behold. Some of them, however, should be left alone — for your own safety. In fact, you should be careful not even to get close to them. Below are the fifteen most dangerous animals in the Amazon rainforest.1. Green Anaconda Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) by Fernando Flores cc2.0Growing over 30 feet (9 meters) long and weighing over 500 pounds (227 kilograms), the green anaconda is the world’s largest snake and it lurks in the Amazon River, lying in wait for prey. Because of its size, the green anaconda is awkward on land, but in the water it can move stealthily and quickly, striking at anything it knows it can overpower — jaguars, caimans, wild pigs, deer and even humans, especially children. It coils its body around its prey and drags it into the water, suffocating it within minutes, and then swallows it whole with its large jaws."

Though most people have a big fear of spiders, it seems that venomous spiders are not such a big threat to humans as many people believe. First of all, studies have shown that most serious bites attributed to spiders were, in fact, due to other causes, notably other arthropods. Secondly, antivenin against spider bite has become very effective and thus made the occurrence of death resulting from a spider's bite a very rare thing. Lastly, spider venom, in general, is usually almost harmless to humans, since it evolved for capturing or killing small invertebrates and not big mammals like ourselves. There are, however, a few exceptions, and bites from certain species can cause severe dermatological lesions and other symptoms which require urgent medical treatment and care. South America is home to the world's smallest spider, the world's largest spider, and to some of the world's most dangerous spiders as well.1.

Share Tweet Pin Share Tumble Summer is nearly upon us and we couldn't be more excited to get out into the great outdoors. This last winter felt extra long, so the idea of hiking, camping and just playing in the grass sounds pretty amazing right about now. However, all that time outside also means more exposure to creepy crawlies like spiders. And nothing's worse than an arachnid bite, y'all. Now, everybody's been bitten by spider or two in their day (there are over 50,000 species of them roaming God's green earth, for crying out loud) and most of us don't run to the hospital every time we get nibbled, but that doesn't mean some bites aren't painful — and potentially dangerous.

"text": "\"Black Widow Spiders Latrodectus hesperus The female black widow spider is considered the most venomous spider in North America. The venom of the black widow spider is 15 times as toxic as the venom of the prairie rattlesnake. Only the female black widow is dangerous to humans; males and juveniles are harmless. The female black widow will, on occasion, kill and eat the male after mating. More than 35,000 species of spiders occur worldwide. About 3,400 species of spiders in 64 families are found in North America. Description/Identification Female black widow spiders are about .5 inch long, to about 1.5 inches long when the legs are spread. Males are about half the female's size, with smaller bodies and longer legs. Both females and males have shiny, globular abdomens and are mostly black, and sometimes brown. Females usually have a reddish hourglass shape on the underside of their abdomens."

They are considered the most venomous spiders in North America; however, their bite is rarely fatal to humans. Black widow appearance Male and female black widows look different. In all cases, \"\"the females are the most distinctive, with shiny black bodies and a red hourglass-shaped marking on the underside of their round abdomen,\"\" said Jo-Anne Nina Sewlal, an arachnologist at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad. The hourglass marking can, on occasion, also be orange-yellow. Female black widows are about 1.5 inches long. The males are about half the size of females. Males are lighter in color, with red or pink spots on their backs, according to the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at North Carolina State University (NCSU)."

You MUST see a doctor if you are concerned about a bite you receive. Many other animals also produce symptoms similar to some spider's bites. Some of these are - kissing bugs, fleas, bed bugs, flies, mites, wasps, ants and blister beetles all of which have produced lesions similar to a brown recluse spider bite. Many skin disorders and medical conditions can produce lesions that can also mimic a brown recluse spider bite. Some of these include infected herpes outbreaks, bedsores, diabetic ulcers, poison oak and Lyme disease which can be caused by a tick bite. Again, use common sense: If there is a wound that is not healing as expected or getting worse, see your doctor! ! If a spider is not listed here, like the orb weaving family of spiders, it is because their bite is not significant being no worse than a bee or wasp sting. However, any person can be allergic to spider bites so a doctor should be consulted if any symptoms of an allergic reaction are present."

Aug. 14, 2017Recluse spiders--also known as violin spiders or fiddleback spiders, owing to the distinctive violin-shaped marking on their backs just behind the eyes--are one of the few species of spiders known to cause medically significant bites. While all recluse spider bites are painful, sometimes exceedingly so, most will resolve on their own within about a week. In a minority of cases, more severe complications can occur, up to and including coma and death, though this is extremely rare. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load The Basics Recluse spiders belong to the genus Loxosceles, and are endemic to North and South America. In the U. S., they are found in widespread regions of the South, Midwest and Southwest. In South America, where they are known simply as brown spiders, they can be found mostly in Chile and Brazil. As their name suggests, they prefer to live a solitary existence tucked away in dark, quiet places. Unfortunately for humans, our homes provide a plethora of perfect hiding spots, and for this reason recluse spiders are primarily found indoors, most often in cupboards, inside and behind furniture (including beds) and in attics and basements. They are not aggressive and unless disturbed they will not go looking for trouble. Trouble finds them, however, usually when some unsuspecting human rolls over onto them while sleeping or puts on a piece of clothing in which the spider happens to be hiding."

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."

Animal Bites Animal bites can be frightening, and in some cases, are medical emergencies. The most common animal bites in the United States are from household pets, with dogs and cats causing the most injury. Cat bites and scratches are especially prone to infection. Human or animal bites can become infected or transmit illnesses such as rabies. A tetanus shot may be required if you have not had one within 10 years; if you are not sure when you had your last tetanus shot, and you've been bitten, you should get one within 72 hours after your injury. If bitten, but the bleeding is minor, cleanse and treat the wound as you would a minor wound. Wash the area thoroughly with soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment (unless the person has allergies or sensitivities to antibiotics) and cover with a clean bandage."

The genus contains 31 recognized species [2] distributed worldwide, including the North American black widows ( L. mactans, L. hesperus, and L. variolus ), the button spiders of Africa, and the Australian redback spider. Species vary widely in size. In most cases, the females are dark-coloured and readily identifiable by reddish markings on the abdomen, which are often (but not always) hourglass -shaped. While rarely fatal, or even serious, the venomous bite of these spiders is seen as particularly dangerous because of the neurotoxin latrotoxin, which causes the condition latrodectism, both named after the genus. The female black widow has unusually large venom glands and its bite can be particularly harmful to humans. However, despite the genus' notoriety, Latrodectus bites are rarely fatal.

Number 5: Red-back spider (Latrodectus hasselti)The redback spider ( Latrodectus hasseltii ) is a dangerous spider endemic to Australia. It is a close cousin of pretty known black widow, which is found throughout the world. The female is easily recognisable by her black body with a prominent red stripe on the back of her abdomen. Females have a body length of about a centimetre, while the male is smaller, being only 3 to 4 mm long. The redback spider is one of few arachnids which usually display sexual cannibalism while mating. Redbacks are considered one of the most dangerous species of spiders in Australia. Its neurotoxic venom is toxic to humans, with bites causing severe pain, often for over 24 hours. An antivenom is commercially available, and since its introduction in 1956, no deaths due to redback bites have been reported.+Redback spider bites rarely cause significant morbidity, and deaths are even more rare. Throughout Australian history, only 14 deaths from redbacks have been recorded."

Bee and Wasp Stings For most people, being stung by a bee is a minor nuisance. The affected area may get a little red or swollen and it may be slightly painful, but that's about it. Bee and wasp stings can cause real problems for people who are allergic, though. A person can get a localized allergic reaction (swelling, heat, or itching of the skin around the sting area) or a systemic allergic reaction, meaning that the venom causes a reaction throughout the body. In the case of a systemic reaction, the person may break out in hives. Other symptoms can include wheezing; shortness of breath; rapid heartbeat; faintness; and swelling of the face, lips, throat, or tongue."

Fogoros, MDUpdated November 09, 2017Share Pin Email Print It's easy to look at pictures of red, bumpy lesions on the internet—that other people have tagged as spider bites —and think, \"\"that's what I have! \"\" The problem is that many images are misidentified as spider bites by websites, patients, and even doctors. They might be from spiders, but they can also be from other types of bugs or infections. The pictures below show different types of lesions that are often identified as spider bites. Each one is discussed on how it could—or could not—be from a spider. There are only two medically significant spider species in North America: the black widow and the brown recluse. Black widow bites, for example, are very difficult to diagnose by looking at the site of the bite, unless it includes fang marks (see below). It's easier to say definitively when a lesion is not a brown recluse bite than when it is. Bottom line: Without catching a spider in the act, there might not be an accurate diagnosis. Nevertheless, whether it's a spider or another kind of bug bite, treatment is generally the same."

[ 2] It is a member of the cosmopolitan genus Latrodectus, the widow spiders. The adult female is easily recognised by her spherical black body with a prominent red stripe on the upper side of her abdomen and an hourglass-shaped red/orange streak on the underside. Females usually have a body length of about 10 millimetres (0.4 in), while the male is much smaller, being only 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long. Mainly nocturnal, the female redback lives in an untidy web in a warm sheltered location, commonly near or inside human residences. It preys on insects, spiders and small vertebrates that become ensnared in its web. It kills its prey by injecting a complex venom through its two fangs when it bites, before wrapping them in silk and sucking out the liquefied insides. Often, It first squirts its victim with what resembles 'superglue' from its spinnerets, immobilising the prey by sticking the victim's limbs and appendages to its own body. The Redback Spider then trusses the victim with silk. Once its prey is restrained, it is bitten repeatedly on the head, body and leg segments and is then hauled back to the Redback Spider's retreat."

A black widow may range in size from about 1 ½ to 2 inches for the females, to about half that size for the males. They have long spindly legs and a small abdomen in relation to their overall size. Males are usually dark brown in color with some striping or dots, but they do not have the distinctive hourglass shape.. The coloration of the Black Widow is a warning beacon as it is with many other toxic insects. They are not edible to birds however will not usually kill them if they are eaten. Males, which are markedly less venomous than females are sometimes eaten by prey, however they can still cause some ill effects in some cases. Black Widows will eat a large variety of prey insects, and usually trap it by the use of a web, as do many other spiders."

If a black widow spider bites a person, do not panic! No one in the United States has died from a black widow spider bite in over ten years. Very often the black widow will not inject any venom into the bite and no serious symptoms develop. Wash the wound well with soap and water to help prevent infection. If muscle cramps develop, take the patient to the nearest hospital. Some victims, especially young children, may be admitted overnight for observation and treatment. Treatments are available for the symptoms caused by a black widow spider bite. Various medications are used to treat the muscle cramps, spasms and pain caused by a bite. Black widow spider antivenin is seldom necessary. ("

"text": "Black widows, especially the females, provide a warning to predators: the bright red hourglass set off the black abdomen background tells predators the spiders aren't tasty. However, a few creatures look at the hourglass as a sign of their next meal because the toxins inside the black widows don't upset their stomachs. Insects Not many insects prey on black widows, but a praying mantis considers several types of spiders, including black widows, a pleasant meal. A praying mantis usually goes after small insects, but he won't turn down an easy meal of black widow; the females stay relatively sedentary in their webs, although they might leave if threatened. Some wasps, especially the mud-dauber wasp, also don't shy away from black widows; they sting the spiders to paralyze them before devouring them. Reptiles Most reptiles avoid black widows because the arachnids' toxin can upset the reptiles' stomachs. Alligator lizards, however, have no problem eating black widows. They are well able to counteract toxins, and they eat other venomous insects including scorpions. These lizards eat just about anything they can find, including other lizards, mice and bird eggs as well as spiders. Birds Birds commonly eat spiders."

They also help recycle dead trees and animals back into the earth. They are also a vital source of food for birds, fish, and small mammals. Without invertebrates, like spiders and insects, many other living things would not survive. Spiders are not insects. Insects have three body parts and six legs. Spiders have eight legs and two body parts, the abdomen and the thorax. Spiders have silk spinning glands called spinnerets, at the tip of their abdomen. Not all spiders spin webs."

One of the few species harmful to people in North America, a black widow often features a red hourglass shape on its underside. Credit: © AMNH\\R. Mickens Black widow spiders are arachnids that are known for the females' unique appearance and tendency to eat their mates. They are considered the most venomous spiders in North America; however, their bite is rarely fatal to humans. Black widow appearance Male and female black widows look different. In all cases, \"\"the females are the most distinctive, with shiny black bodies and a red hourglass-shaped marking on the underside of their round abdomen,\"\" said Jo-Anne Nina Sewlal, an arachnologist at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad. The hourglass marking can, on occasion, also be orange-yellow. Female black widows are about 1.5 inches long. The males are about half the size of females. Males are lighter in color, with red or pink spots on their backs, according to the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at North Carolina State University (NCSU)."

"text": "\"Not All Perks Are Good: Top Perks to Avoid in Fallout 3written for: PC by: Finn Orfano ; edited by: M. S. Smith ; updated: 4/18/2012 • Leave a comment Part 0 of Fallout 3 Perk Guide Sometimes you may be debating if it's better to pick perks that improve your base stats or take a risk by going with a more innovative perk. Creative perks may have their moments, but at the end of the day, they will probably lose their luster quickly. Read on for 10 perks to avoid.1. Animal Friend What it does: Animals do not attack (rank 1). They come to your aid, but not against other animals (rank 2). The one reason why you do not need this perk is simply because too many great weapons are available in Fallout 3; if killing these creatures is truly a nightmare for you, make it a quest to find weapons and ammo. Mole Rats and dogs can be taken care of easily once you've got plenty of grenades, shotguns, pistols, nukes, and flamethrowers. If you must have a companion while traveling the Wasteland, then the game will provide more professional killers to aid you, humans and others that will work for you full time, and best of all, it won't cost a perk. The worst part about Animal Friend is it requires two ranks before you can actually get those creatures like the Yao Guai and Brahmin to fight with you. Instead of wasting two perks on Animal Friend, improving your Big Guns and Repair skills seems like a better choice in the long run."

"text": "Black Widow Spider ADVERTISEMENTImage Source The Black Widow spider (Latrodectus spp.) is a spider notorious for its neurotoxic venom (a toxin that acts specifically on nerve cells). The Black Widow Spider is a large widow spider found throughout the world and commonly associated with urban habitats or agricultural areas. The name ‘black widow spider’ is most commonly used to refer to the three North American species best known for their dark colouration, black hair and red hourglass pattern. Occasionally, it is applied to several other members of the Latrodectus (widow spider) genus in which there are 31 recognized species including the Australian red-back, brown widow spider (sometimes called the grey widow) and the red widow spider. In South Africa, widow spiders are also known as the ‘button spiders’. Currently, there are three recognized species of black widow found in North America: The southern black widow (Latrodectus mactans), the northern black widow (Latrodectus variolus) and the western black widow (Latrodectus hesperus). Black Widow Spider Characteristics Female black widow spiders are shiny black when full grown. Since the females commonly eat their mate after mating (as do many other spiders) they often are actually ‘widows’. This is probably how they got their name."

"text": "\"Insect bitesbackground In general, biting insects themselves are not dangerous because allergic reactions are rare. However, many insects (like mosquitoes and ticks) can transmit diseases like malaria, Lyme disease, and the West Nile virus to humans. This is because many insects inject their saliva into the host when they bite. While insect's saliva may aid in digestion, inhibit clotting, increase blood flow to the area bitten or anesthetize (numb) the bite site, it may also contain disease-causing organisms. The mouthparts of biting insects can be classified into three groups: piercing and/or sucking, sponging, and biting/chewing. Most insect bites cause minor puncture wounds to the skin. Deaths associated with insect bites are typically a result of hypersensitivity, either anaphylactic (allergic) or anaphylactoid (non-allergic) or from complications resulting from infection. While the exact incidence rate remains unknown, researchers estimate that between 50 and 150 Americans die each year from insect-provoked anaphylaxis. Mosquito bites cause the greatest number of deaths worldwide because they transmit diseases like malaria and the West Nile virus. Malaria is prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas, such as Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America, and Central America."

But while it can be tempting to label that mysterious bite as a spider bite, you’d likely be wrong. The symptoms of a spider bite are similar to other insect bites. Research shows that more than 80 percent of “spider bites” were actually caused by other types of insects. Here are seven of the most common spider bite symptoms and signs. The bite has two puncture marks. It’s not always easy to see, but a true spider bite will present itself with two puncture marks. The spider’s fangs cause these marks when they pierce the skin. The bite typically does not hurt badly. Bites from non-venomous spiders hurt less than a bee sting for most people."

But despite scaring many, the majority of the 3,000 species of spiders will cause no harm to people. Most common spiders have fangs that are either too short or fragile to break through human skin. Often, their venom is not poisonous enough to cause damage. Common Spider Bite Symptoms Common spider bite symptoms may include small, itchy, and sometimes red, irritated skin that will clear up in a few days. However there are two specific spiders in the United States – the brown recluse and the black widow – that can cause serious ailments, and even be deadly. It is important to be able to identify these spider bites in order seek proper treatment. Brown Recluse Spider Bite Symptoms The brown recluse spider is usually found in warm, dry climates. Nicknamed the violin spider because of the violin shaped splotch on its upper back, this spider is non-aggressive and prefers to hide away in dark, undisturbed areas like closets or basements. However, if it feels threatened, the brown recluse will attack."

They are considered the most venomous spiders in North America; however, their bite is rarely fatal to humans. Black widow appearance Male and female black widows look different. In all cases, \"\"the females are the most distinctive, with shiny black bodies and a red hourglass-shaped marking on the underside of their round abdomen,\"\" said Jo-Anne Nina Sewlal, an arachnologist at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad. The hourglass marking can, on occasion, also be orange-yellow. Female black widows are about 1.5 inches long. The males are about half the size of females.
