The TM-1 will also measure the average tension of all the spokes in a wheel, and the relative tension between all the spokes in the wheel. It works on nearly any bicycle spoke, no matter what the diameter, material, or shape. The TM-1 Tension Meter is a precision measuring instrument and should be used and stored with care. To avoid damage, it is recommended that the TM-1 be stored in its original packaging or suspended from a bench hook. It should always be kept clean and dry. As new spokes are developed, check the TM-1 Tension Meter page for updated reading conversion tables. NOTE: The TM-1 Tension Meter includes a printed table to convert tension reading to kilograms force. Because of new and varied steel bladed aerodynamic spokes, there is a webpage that acts as a chart calculator for steel bladed spokes not on the table. See the Park Tool Wheel Tension App here."

It is an inexpensive and handy device that has many uses when building, maintaining, and repairing a home or auto. What a Tape Measure Does A tape measure is a portable measurement device used to quantify the size of an object or the distance between objects. The tape is marked along the tape edge in inches and fractional inches, typically in quarter-, eight-, sixteenth-inch increments. Some tape measures are marked in millimeters, centimeters, and meters on one edge. The most common tape measures are 12 feet, 25 feet, or 100 feet in length. A 12-foot tape measure is handiest for consumers. The 25-foot length is called a builder's tape and is marked in feet and at 16-inch increments to make measuring the standard distance between wall studs easier. The 100-foot tape, usually of reinforced cloth, is useful for determining property boundaries and other exterior measurements."

"text": "\"Types of Steel1055 Carbon Steel Carbon steel is one of the most common choices for the weapon market. It is less susceptible to corrosion, so it lasts longer, and is also easy to sharpen. As carbon steel is harder than stainless steel, it is able to have a more acute edge without the risk of bending during contact with hard materials. 1055 Carbon Steel is commonly used for edged weapons, like swords, machetes, tomahawks, and knives. It is heat-tempered in order to reduce the possibility of breakage. There are only two components to Carbon Steel: Carbon (content being between .50% to .60%) and Manganese (content between .60% to .90%). Depending on the exact carbon content, 1055 Carbon steel has a quenched hardness of HRC 60-64, due to the use of lean alloy and the high carbon content. When quenched, 1055 carbon steel produces a nearly saturated lathe martensite that does not contain the brittleness common of other high carbon metals. 1055 Carbon Steel that has been drop forged means the carbon steel has been forged using a process in which a hammer is raised and then \"\"dropped\"\" in order to deform the steel into the shape of the die. This can be done with an open die, where the die does not enclose the metal being shaped, or with a closed die, where the metal is enclosed, leading to different shapes of completed materials."

"text": "\"By Merle Henkenius Oct 4, 2007 3.1k While there is no such thing as a perfect building material, drywall comes pretty close. For one thing, it's dirt cheap, costing about $7 for a 1/2-in.-thick 4 x 8 panel. It's also DIY friendly--about all you need to work successfully with it is a small bunch of hand tools, some of which you already own. So it's no wonder that, since the 1940s, drywall has steadily replaced lath and plaster. The only wonder is that people still think it's tough to finish. It's not. To produce pro-quality walls and ceilings, go easy on the compound. There's no sense in applying compound just to sand it off later. Also, use a light touch. You don't need brute force to spread compound, you need finesse."

"text": "Wedding rings are probably the most tangible symbol of love and eternal partnership in the world. The origins of weddings rings can be traced back almost 5000 years ago to ancient Egypt. While there are variations in the beliefs of different cultures, the ring and its broader significance remains the same. Some cultures believed that the hole in the middle of a wedding ring signifies a gateway into a new world; a new life. The ancient Romans believed in the existence of ‘Vena Amoris’ or ‘The Vein of Love’ which ran from the ring-finger directly to the heart. This is why the ring-finger was chosen to wear wedding rings. Wedding rings, in ancient times, were meant primarily for women. It was the most precious piece of their jewelry and displayed that they are already engaged or married to someone. As the modern society rose and the lines between then roles of men and women blurred, the wedding ring also started adorning the hands of men. A symbol of an eternal and undying bond which cannot be broken till ‘death do them apart’."

"text": "\"Related Articles How to Hang Drywall on Metal Studs How to Install Baseboards to Metal Framing How to Frame a Door in Metal Walls How to Fix the Drywall After the Tub Surround Is in Place Metal framing is a lightweight alternative to wood that is especially useful in multi-story buildings, such as apartment complexes, where total weight is a concern. The most important components in a typical metal framing system are the C-shaped studs and the T-shaped tracks that hold them. You can cut metal studs and tracks with a hacksaw or with tin snips, but professional framers often do it by fitting a chop saw with a metal-cutting blade. Metal framing joins together with screws -- not nails -- and drywall installers use self-tapping drywall screws to hang the drywall.1Measure the length of the wall, using a tape measure. Cut two pieces of framing track to that length with tin snips. If the distance is longer than the stud, cut two smaller pieces of track to place next to full ones to span the total distance.2Screw one length of track to the ceiling joists, using 1 5/8-inch self-tapping screws to form the top plate of the wall. To drive the screw, set its tip on the surface of the metal and push on it with a screw tip while operating a drill or screw gun at full speed. The tip will bore through the metal in a few seconds and sink into the wood behind.3Mark the positions of doorways in the floor and cut the tracks for the bottom plate as needed so that they don't intersect the doorways. Screw the bottom plates to the floor, using a plumb bob to ensure they are directly under the top plates.4Mark the positions of the studs to coincide with the edges of the drywall sheets. Standard stud spacing is 16 inches, but you may have to adjust the spacing to account for the placement of doors or windows.5Cut the studs to length."

Why did I do this to myself? In the process of rebuilding my 1999 Suzuki DR350 I had a revelation. When it was time to fix all of the rusted metal on my DR350, including the frame, I would try my luck at a process called powder coating. This article is how I went about it.

Be sure to keep your hands clean throughout the process. It is important not to allow mortar to dry on the face of the stone. Remove it prior to hardening. Wet mortar on stone will leave a filmy residue that dulls the appearance of your natural stone. Use a stiff brush and clean water immediately on your stone to remove the dull residue. Place a protective material on the ground where rain or water can cause mud to splash onto your stone. All stone should be applied according to local building codes."

California Redwood Association Patio roof connects to a ledger that firmly attaches to house framing. A house-attached patio roof takes advantage of the house’s structure by supporting one end of the roof on a ledger mounted horizontally to the house. The ledger, typically a 2 by 6, is usually designed to hold one end of the patio-roof rafters. Locating and mounting the ledger is normally a fairly easy process; the ledger should be attached before the foundation is built for a deck, patio roof posts, and other struture. If attaching a patio roof to a ledger beneath the eaves does not allow for enough headroom, you can set the new patio roof’s rafters on the wall’s top plate. Where to Attach a Patio Roof Ledger On a one-story house, it is often best to attach the ledger for a patio roof just below the house’s eaves. On a two-story house, you can usually tie the ledger into a band joist (also called a rim joist), located between the floors, as shown below. Find the band joist by measuring down from a second-story window. Mounting the Patio Roof Ledger Procedures for mounting a ledger depend on the type of siding on the house."

While house displayed several characteristics similar to disco music, which preceded and influenced it, as both were DJ and record producer-created dance music, house was more electronic and minimalistic.

Since his debut, Shadow has appeared in a multitude of games, television shows, and comic books. His past was almost a complete mystery until the game Shadow the Hedgehog revealed the events surrounding his creation. In contrast to Sonic, Shadow is typically portrayed as a tortured anti-hero, or a renegade who can just as easily serve the forces of evil as those of good. Though lately, he has done absolutely no evil, only good, making him a hero. However, he does what he needs to do to accomplish what he knows to be right. So overall, Shadow could be considered a die-hard hero. According to an official poll, Shadow is the second most popular character in the series, second only to Sonic himself."

"text": "Weapons Charges Weapons offenses: Criminal charges and possible penalties in Texas While Texas is considered a state with fairly loose gun laws with wide latitude for legal gun owners, it is still surprisingly easy to be charged with a crime. The state authorities do not take these offenses lightly, and you could easily end up facing serious felony charges if you are accused of violating many Texas weapon laws. Serious weapons offenses in Texas can include: Illegally possessing or carrying a weapon,Improperly discharging a gun, or Using a weapon in the commission of a crime. And, you can be charged not just for having or using an illegal weapon yourself, but also if you sell or give one to another person, or allow a child to get access to an unsecured firearm. Even if you have a legal right to possess or carry a weapon, you may be charged if you aren’t careful who you allow to use it. Open Handgun Carry Laws As of January 1st, 2016, Texas is officially an open-carry state for handguns. However, many people don’t understand that you still must have a concealed handgun license to open carry, or you can face criminal charges. Other weapons possession or carry charges frequently arise out of encounters with the police, such as traffic stops or stop-and-frisks on the street. The police also may charge you if they receive a tip from an informant that you have a weapon, or if they find one while arresting you on an unrelated charge. While some weapons offenses are misdemeanors, a conviction can still have serious effects on your life because future employers and others who view your criminal record may consider it similar to a crime of violence."

It involves two individuals fighting without boxing gloves or other padding on their hands.

Before Jack Broughton, the first idea of current boxing originated from James Figg, who is viewed as the organizer of cutting edge boxing. In 1719, he set up a 'pugilistic foundation' and charged himself as 'a professional in the Noble Science of Defense' to instruct boxers on the utilization of clench hands, sword, and quarterstaff. Noted champions were Jack Broughton, Daniel Mendoza, Jem Belcher, Hen Pearce, John Gully, Tom Cribb, Tom Spring, Jem Ward, James Burke, William \"\"Bendigo\"\" Thompson, Ben Caunt, Tom Sayers and Jem Mace.

"text": "\"Top 10 Greatest Sonic the Hedgehog Characters The Top Ten1 Shadow the Hedgehog Shadow the Hedgehog is a character who appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by Sega. He is an artificially created black and red hedgehog whose hover shoes propel him at extreme speeds that rival those of Sonic. Shadow is better than Sonic in almost every respect because: 1. Sonic cannot fly, while Shadow can because of his shoes. 2. Sonic stated that he would never touch firearms, but Shadow will shoot someone without a second thought. 3. Sonic may be the fastest thing alive, but Shadow can go far faster using his shoes and Chaos Control. 4. Sonic will die eventually (although it may be a few centuries due to Sega's aging system), but Shadow is immortal."

"text": "Declawing Onychectomy, popularly known as declawing, is an operation to remove an animal’s claws surgically by amputating part of the end bones of the animal’s toes. The act of declawing a cat is not only unnecessary but also very cruel. Declawing is amputation. To declaw a cat, the veterinarian cuts off the last knuckles of a cat’s paw. This surgery involves cutting through the bone, tendons, skin and many nerves of the cats foot. This surgery can cause permanent pain and joint issues as well as lameness and arthritis. To imagine what declawing is, it would be the same as a human having the last knuckle of their fingers cut off. Cats who are declawed frequently develop behavioral issues as they age, such as refusing to use a litter box and aggressive behaviors. Both of these are behaviors we see in response to pain. There are many safe and kind alternatives to declawing."

Sonic Underground bears little relation to the often complex Sonic universe (including previous animated series, as well as Sonic comics and games), and shares only three established characters. Over two seasons, forty episodes aired. Ben Hurst, a notable writer from the Sonic the Hedgehog television show, whom was also involved in Sonic Underground 's production, stated in a SAGE chat that only forty were produced. According to Hong Ying, the animation studio who animated Sonic Underground list forty episodes which is the complete series. Sonic Underground takes place on Mobius, similar to the Sonic the Hedgehog TV series, but with notable differences."

Your triceps. I'm not joking when I say that if you want to be massively strong, you need to pay attention to the muscles across from your beloved biceps. If you're trying to build arm size and strength, a solid triceps workout needs to target all three heads that bulk up the back of your arms. And although you can't truly isolate any part of the triceps, you can vary the exercises, weight and reps to assure you cover all your bases. Many trainers chalk up arm exercises to pure vanity, but there's function to go with all that flexing—that is, if you're working your triceps as hard as you should be. From pressing heavy weight to stabilizing loads overhead to maintaining healthy elbows, the triceps play a key role in optimal upper-body function. To get that coveted, three-dimensional horseshoe shape on the back of your arms, try these three exercises—along with a stronger Bench Press and Overhead Press—during your next triceps workout. RELATED: Thomas Jones's \"\"Man Exercise\"\" for Bigger Biceps and Triceps1. Close Grip Bench Press The simplest way to ensure muscle growth is to add weight to the bar, and no triceps exercise responds as well to heavy weight as the Close Grip Bench Press."

"text": "Pallor – Causes of Pale Skin or Paleness Posted by Jan Modric Tweet What Is Paleness? Paleness ( pallor in Latin) is abnormal loss of color from normal skin or mucous membranes due to reduced amount of the blood in the skin arteries. Paleness should be distinguished from other causes of prominent white skin: Fair skin is genetically determined skin hue with low concentration of skin pigment (melanin) in the skin. This skin hue is common in people in north European countries (Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Scandinavian countries). Absence of skin tan from sun avoidance. Myxedema (in hypothyroidism) – swelling of under-skin tissues causes pale appearance of the skin. Albinism is a rare genetic disorder with partial or complete lack of melanin in the skin, hair and iris of the eye. Affected persons have white skin and hair, and red iris. Vitiligo is a patchy loss of skin color due to destruction of pigment cells (melanocytes) from an unknown cause. Everyday Causes of Paleness Paleness does not always mean you are ill."

The amount of time it takes for symptoms to appear depends upon the amount of rat poison ingested and the number of days it is ingested. It is important to note that symptoms of rat poisoning may occur even when a person hasn’t ingested rat poison. This is because warfarin, a component of rat poison, is also used in medicine as a blood thinner.

Additionally, the person may bruise easily and cuts may take longer than normal to clot. Even normal contact with everyday items may cause a bruise. Women may notice bruising under bra straps.

After birth, our bone marrow (fatty area in the middle of our bones) is the primary source of new blood cells. Often, problems with the way our bone marrow produces blood cells results in blood disorders. Blood disorders can occur from any of the four parts of our blood: White blood cells—which help fight infections. Red blood cells—which carry oxygen to tissues. Platelets—which help stop bleeding. Plasma—which carries various components including procoagulant factors (that help stop bleeding) and anticoagulant factors (that prevent clot formation). View an artery and red blood cells close-up. Elevated white blood cell counts are called leukocytosis and low counts are called leukopenia.

"text": "\"A three-judge Shawnee County District Court panel ruled block grant school funding in Kansas is unconstitutional. Credit Sam Zeff / KCUROn the 114th and final day of the Kansas legislative session, a court ruling feared by lawmakers and eagerly anticipated by most educators was handed down . A three-judge Shawnee County District Court panel ruled Friday that block grant school funding, one of the signature issues for conservatives in the Legislature, is unconstitutional. The court ruled block grants violate Article 6 of the Kansas Constitution, which requires the state to adequately fund public education. The panel said the law is unconstitutional \"\"both in regard to its adequacy of funding and in its change of, and in its embedding of, inequities in the provision of capital outlay of state aid and supplemental general state aid. \"\" In other words, the court ruled, block grant funding would provide neither an adequate nor equal education to Kansas students as required by the state Constitution. The lead attorney for the plaintiffs, which includes the Kansas City, Kansas district, says it's about time lawmakers realize they're going to have to find more money for K-12 public education. \"\" What part of unconstitutional, Legislature, don’t you understand? They are behaving in a way in which they have been told time and time again they need to fund education to an adequate level,\"\" says Alan Rupe of Wichita. The top Democrat in the Kansas House, Tom Burroughs, says the state should move back to the old school funding system that was replaced with the block grant plan."

Updated on November 10 at 12:08 p.m. The U. S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals blocked a series of President Obama’s executive orders on immigration on Monday night, frustrating the administration’s efforts to shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation and delivering a major setback to a core policy initiative of the president’s second-term agenda. * The Justice Department said on Tuesday morning that it would appeal the ruling to the U. S. Supreme Court. Latest from Politics A Suspected Russian Spy, With Curious Ties to Washington A three-judge panel ruled against the Obama administration on a 2-1 vote in Texas v. United States, upholding a lower court’s injunction against two programs. Obama created one of the programs, called Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, or DAPA, and expanded another, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA in a unilateral effort to reshape the U. S. immigration system after the 2014 midterm elections. Texas and 25 other states sued the United States soon thereafter, in an attempt to halt the executive actions. Since the Constitution grants exclusive power over immigration law to the federal government, the states’ lawsuit might seem quixotic. To circumvent this, Texas and the other states contend that by granting deferred action to an estimated five million undocumented immigrants, the Obama administration’s executive actions force the states to either provide services to them or change their state laws to avoid doing so."

Ronald Reagan and George Bush are considered architects of New Federalism, a program that allowed states to make many decisions regarding local issues. However, states were also expected to pay the bill for their own decisions, and Reagan is criticized for getting states into debt. For almost 200 years, the federal-state relationship has shifted more and more toward national supremacy. But some observers today believe that over the past twenty years, the balance of power is beginning to tilt back toward the states. Presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George Bush tried to slow down the growth of the national government under the banner of \"\" New Federalism . \"\" Richard Nixon declared an open attempt to reverse the flow of power to the federal government back to the states. In his winning campaign of 1980, Ronald Reagan claimed that the federal government, in its attempts to improve society, was actually eroding individual freedoms.

Congress, and the other two branches of the federal government, can only exercise those powers given in the Constitution. The powers of Congress are enumerated in several places in the Constitution. The most important listing of congressional powers appears in Article I, Section 8 (see left) which identifies in seventeen paragraphs many important powers of Congress. In this section, we consider how several of the enumerated powers of Congress under the original Constitution have been interpreted. TAXING POWERThe Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States... The power to tax: Bailey v Drexel Furniture [Child Labor Tax Case] (1922)Linder v United States (1925)Steward Machine vs Davis (1937)U.

In Bailey vs Drexel Furniture (1922), the Court invalidated a 10% tax on the annual profits of employers who knowingly employ child labor. The tax, imposed after an earlier attempt to block the interstate transportation and sale of products produced by child labor was struck down in Hammer, was seen by the Court as an unconstitutional attempt to make an end-run around its earlier decision."

It wasn't clear initially whether they would enjoy full-fledged citizenship or would be subjugated by the white population. In the 1860s, it was the Republican Party in Washington — the home of former abolitionists — that sought to grant legal rights and social equality to African-Americans in the South. The Republicans — then dubbed radical Republicans — managed to enact a series of constitutional amendments and reconstruction acts granting legal equality to former slaves — and giving them access to federal courts if their rights were violated. The 13th Amendment, which was ratified in 1865, abolished slavery. Three years later, the 14th Amendment provided blacks with citizenship and equal protection under the law. And in 1870, the 15th Amendment gave black American males the right to vote. Five years later, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875, a groundbreaking federal law proposed by Republican Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, which guaranteed that everyone in the United States was \"\"entitled to the full and equal enjoyment\"\" of public accommodations and facilities regardless of race or skin color. \"\" What the radical Republicans wanted, led by Charles Sumner in the Senate and Thaddeus Stevens in the House, was probably the largest experiment in social engineering ever taken,\"\" says constitutional scholar Lawrence Goldstone. \"\" They wanted the federal government to take these four million newly freed slaves and integrate them fully into society virtually immediately. \"\""

"text": "Country of Origin: United States Court Name: United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit Primary Citation: 678 F.3d 666 (C. A.8 (Ark. ))Date of Decision: Monday, May 21, 2012Judge Name: BYE, Circuit Judge Jurisdiction Level: Federalmore +Summary: In this § 1983 action, defendant kennel operator alleged taking of private property without just compensation, unreasonable search and seizure, and due process violations in relation to seizure of dogs, and that the local humane society conspired with government entities. On appeal of summary judgment for the defendants, the court found her claims against the county were barred, and that she failed to first exhaust her administrative remedies. The animal control officer was acting pursuant to a valid search warrant when she entered the property to seize the dogs, and, under an animal cruelty plea agreement, had authority to inspect Crawford's premises. With regard to the Humane Society defendants, the court found summary judgment proper because there was no evidence amounting to a civil conspiracy to seize the dogs for personal gain. * 1 Gloria Crawford brought suit under 42 U. S. C. § 1983 against officials who seized numerous dogs from a kennel she ran on her property. The district court FN1 granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants on Crawford's claims. We affirm. ISince 1995, Gloria Crawford has operated a kennel out of her Arkansas home. On March 15, 2005, Van Buren County Animal Control Officer Debby Fogle entered Crawford's property with a search warrant. After Crawford was taken into custody, Fogle and others seized approximately 163 dogs."

"text": "Philip Friedman Whether you’re strolling seaside or wandering cobblestone streets, these stylish walking shoes will give you a leg up. Courtney Kenefick and Richelle Szypulski March 02, 2018Walking is, without a doubt, one of the best ways to take in a new city. On foot, you can spot the details that bring a destination to life. It’s easy to lose track of time perusing the shops along Via del Corso in Rome, exploring a bamboo grove in Kyoto, or weaving your way through the medieval medina of Fez. But there’s no quicker way to shatter the magic of these immersive cultural experiences than an uncomfortable pair of shoes. Comfort vs. style has long been a classic conundrum for the fashion-conscious traveler. Your everyday flats aren’t necessarily the most practical for a packed itinerary, but something more orthopedic in design might have you cropping your vacation photos from the ankles up. Some destinations call for a sturdier shoe due to rugged terrain or extreme weather— Iceland in the winter, perhaps—and in that case, you’ll need some trusty, travel-friendly boots. But when mild weather and walkable streets open up the possibilities, it gets a lot harder to choose the perfect pair. Related: Comfortable Travel Shoes for Men We sorted through sneakers, sandals, slip-ons, and every style of footwear in between to find the best walking shoes for women."

If I said Schecter Diamond Series, Blackjack ATX, or Hellraiser Hybrid, would you know what any of those mean? The Schecter Diamond Series refers to their non-US Custom shop guitars with nice appointments, and is divided into the groups we’re discussing below (like the Hellraiser Hybrid!). Again, there are so many models to choose from it may be overwhelming for those new to the brand to decide where to start!The Schecter Diamond series is huge, and we’ve put together a super in-depth guide for you to get to know Schecter guitars, and which one might be for you!Banshee Elite The Banshee Elite line is the successor to the Banshee from a couple of years ago. When the Banshee first came out it was an instant hit, featuring high quality hardware, a bolt on neck, and the Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient set. The new Banshee Elite series has an awesome “boutique” vibe, which is strongly in line with Schecter’s recent mantra. With custom Schecter USA Supercharger pickups and a 9 piece maple/walnut thru-neck, these guitars look like they should cost way more than they should.

Most of us wait until we get a blister to do something about it. Cleary recommends padding a new shoe before wearing them outside. \"\" When you first buy the heels, bring them home, put them on, and walk around your house in them for at least an hour.

Two technical styles have survived over the last several decades. The chart below compares in the two styles during key aspects of the throw-Of the top-level gliders in the world, most of the athletes are using the short-long style of throwing, although many coaches belief in the long-short method. Regardless of the style used, the coach and athlete must find what can work best of that individual Coaching Points for the Glide Getting Started The shot is raised over the head; the wrist is bent facing upward, the ball rest at the base of the fingers. The shot is then placed on the neck, under the jaw with the thumb touching the collarbone. The ideal path of the shot is straight as possible from starting position to the release, with a gradual increase in the height of the ball from the start of the glide. Across the ring The start varies from thrower to thrower, but some basics remain constant. The purpose of the start is to enable the thrower to get in to a good power position with more speed on the ball than from a standing put. A good technical thrower with the glide can gain 10-20% from the stand throw. The thrower faces the rear of the ring in an upright position with the feet together, from this position several different starts can be used: The upper body is bent slightly over the right leg, knees are together and the left foot is slightly behind the right foot at the starting position."

With a nylon and leather upper, the shoe features a faux Hummer-styled bumper that plays both an aesthetic use and works as a heel stabilizer. The Air Zoom Generation utilized the Nike Air Zoom system—not just a clever name—that cushioned the first six Le Bron shoes. Advertisement2 of 12 Courtesy of Nike, Inc. Zoom Le Bron IIThe Le Bron name was officially attached to his signature shoe for the second installment. The November 2004 release’s main aesthetic component was a large strap across the top of the shoe. Mesh and leather alternated across the upper for a distinctive block look, sitting atop the newly doubled Air Zoom technology aimed at an incredible amount of cushioning.3 of 12 Courtesy of Nike, Inc. Zoom Le Bron IIIThe strap look of the II went slimmer and more frequent in the III. Designed with the word “soldier” as a key touch point, the bootlike look of the shoe used those straps and color blocking to give the III a uniform feel. The Swoosh was pushed to the back of the shoe. A new footbed design still used the Zoom system from Le Bron’s second signature, but a new interior structure aimed at keeping the foot from slipping inside the perforated leather upper. Advertisement4 of 12 Courtesy of Nike, Inc. Zoom Le Bron IVWhatever boot-like images you had of the Le Bron shoe previously were tossed away with the free-flowing Foamposite material-led design of the November 2006 release of Le Bron’s fourth signature kicks."

The other side of the equation is the constant challenge of what shoes to wear with what pant style. In this article, we de-mystify the most flattering shoe-pant combinations. Shoe options Here are 14 diverse style of shoes ranging from peep-toe booties to knee high boots, which can be combined with a number of pant styles. Ankle pants It’s important to remember that ankle pants look best when worn immediately above or right on your ankle bone. When selecting the right shoes, pairing ankle pants with high vamp shoes (booties, loafers, etc.) is the most flattering approach. Whether flat, medium, or high-heeled, we certainly recommend trying a diversity styles (such as the sandals we selected below), as ankle pants tend to work well with a number of shoe styles. Bootcut pants Bootcut pants are one of the most versatile style of pants. They look best when they touch the floor, yet do not completely cover the entire shoe."

We’re giving you permission to break all 50 of these old school rules.50.

To break this fashion rule, keep the red true, and add any shade of pink, from pastel to fuchsia.49. Don’t wear white after labor day Lame! As countless designers have proved during the past few seasons, white isn’t only appropriate when the weather gets cold, but also amazingly fresh and modern-feeling. One thing to keep in mind when tackling the white-in-winter trend: It’s all about the fabric. Lighter textiles such as white cotton, linen, canvas, and seersucker will surely look out of place during the chilly months of fall and winter, so be sure you’re reaching for white wool, cashmere, mohair, flannel, silk, and leather.

This form-fitting frock generally finishes at mid-thigh to just above the knee and fits snugly along your body shape, showing your curves. If you want to conceal certain areas, embrace sheath styles with specific details. Beaded necklines move your eyes upward, away from wide hips. If you want to conceal your tummy, look for ruching details -- gathers concentrated in one area of the garment -- along the front of the dress, which create the illusion of a flattened midriff."

"text": "\"Home »Trees How to Care for Blood Banana Plants By Joshua Duvauchelle; Updated September 21, 2017The Red Banana or Blood Banana (Musa zebrina) is an ornamental banana tree originally from Indonesia. Gardeners grow the tree for its mottled, red foliage rather than its banana fruit. The plant reaches a short height of four to 10 feet and will grow in USDA hardiness zones eight through 11. The Blood Banana makes an attractive alternative to more common ornamental plants. Though it may appear exotic, the Blood Banana has only basic care requirements. Plant the Blood Banana tree in the appropriate soil. Blood Bananas require a light, well-drained soil. Amend your outdoor dirt with compost or peat moss as needed. If you're growing the Blood Banana in a pot, use three parts of a standard soil mixture and one part vermiculite or perlite. Give the Blood Banana a minimum of six to eight hours of sunlight."

But if you cannot wait for your tropical paradise to arise, there are fast growing varieties Bangalow Palm (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana)Endemic to the central eastern coast of Australia, the Bangalow Palm thrives in this rainforest region. Growing at an average of almost a metre per year, this palm can reach a height of 25 metres. Its physical features resemble that of another variety of the genus Archontophoenix, the Alexandra Palm. Also known as King Palm, it produces violet-coloured flowers, which develop into red fruits. The fruits attract birds and when planted in your garden, you can expect frequent visits from different species. Due to the nature of their habitat, Bangalow Palms love the sun but in combination with a steady supply of water. They can also thrive in a shadier environment."

Most ornamental banana trees do not produce edible fruit, although a few develop small sweet edible bananas. In areas with mild temperatures during the winter, banana trees survive without damage from freezing temperatures. When exposed to hard frosts, they usually grow back from the roots.

"text": "\"Staghorn Fern Care: How To Water, Grow and Care for Mounted Staghorn Ferns January 27 2015 177 Comments It’s a fact: staghorn ferns are stunning. Mounted on a board, wrapped in vintage burlap, and hung a wall, these plants are truly works of living art. There are dozens of species of staghorn ferns, and until recently, they were quite rare. Now though--thanks to species native to Australia, Platycerium bifurcatum, that is relatively easy to care for and propagate--they’re increasingly popular house plants. Staghorn fern care intimidates many people who visit our nursery, and we’ll be the first to admit that these plants can be picky. Before we dive into our best practices for staghorn fern care, it’s essential to know a bit of background information about how these epiphytic beauties grow. Staghorn Ferns are Epiphytes Though you can find young staghorn ferns sold in pots, mature plants need to be mounted to a board or hung in a hanging basket. Why? Because, like air plants, staghorn ferns are epiphytic plants, which means that in they grow on other plants or trees in their natural growing environments. In the tropics (and even warmer parts of the US like Florida), staghorn ferns grow to truly massive proportions, jutting dramatically out of the crooks of trees."

If you don't water very often, water more. If you're watering every day, cut back. Make sure automatic sprinklers aren't keeping drought-tolerant plants too wet. Group these with like plants, not with flowers that need regular watering.• Too little or too much sun."

Broad, long, graceful leaves and rapid growth-commonly reaching full size in just a few weeks-make banana a favorite plant for providing a tropical look to pool and patio areas. The development of bananas following a frost-free winter is a source of both pride and amazement to those unfamiliar with banana culture. Banana is a tropical herbaceous plant consisting of an underground corm and a trunk (pseudostem) comprised of concentric layers of leaf sheaths. At 10 to 15 months after the emergence of a new plant, its true stem rapidly grows up through the center and emerges as a terminal inflorescence which bears fruit. The flowers appear in groups (hands) along the stem and are covered by purplish bracts which roll back and shed as the fruit stem develops. The first hands to appear contain female flowers which will develop into bananas (usually seedless in edible types). The number of hands of female flowers varies from a few to more than 10, after which numerous hands of sterile flowers appear and shed in succession, followed by numerous hands of male flowers which also shed. Generally, a bract rolls up and sheds to expose a new hand of flowers almost daily. Be careful when buying field grown banana tree offshoots or offsets."

Species: Musa acuminata Colla, M. X paradisiaca L. (hybrid)Related species Abyssinian Banana ( Ensete ventricossum Cheesman), Musa balbisina Colla, M. ornata Roxb., M. textilis Nee Adaptation Bananas and plantains are today grown in every humid tropical region and constitutes the 4th largest fruit crop of the world. The plant needs 10 - 15 months of frost-free conditions to produce a flower stalk. All but the hardiest varieties stop growing when the temperature drops below 53° F. Growth of the plant begins to slow down at about 80° F and stop entirely when the temperature reaches 100° F. High temperatures and bright sunlight will also scorch leaves and fruit, although bananas grow best in full sun. Freezing temperatures will kill the foliage. In most areas bananas require wind protection for best appearance and maximum yield. They are also susceptible to being blown over. Bananas, especially dwarf varieties, make good container specimens if given careful attention. The plant will also need periodic repotting as the old plant dies back and new plants develop."

General Description The Goldfinger banana is an upright, fast-growing, tropical herb (not a tree) with large, flat, green leaves. The long, pendent flowers give rise to large bunches of large fruits that range in color from pale green when young and more starchy in taste to golden yellow when ripe and sweetly tart. This dessert banana, 'FHIA-01', is a complex tetraploid hybrid developed by the FHIA breeders in Honduras in the 1980s. It has high resistance to Sigatoka leaf spot disease and two races of Panama disease. It also is more tolerant of drier soils and winter cold than most other bananas, particularly the Cavendish clones. A tender perennial that is a semi-dwarf in banana standards, 'FHIA-01' forms a close clump of plants, each stem flowering and fruiting only once before dying. This hybrid is exceptional in that its fruits naturally transport well, ripen from green to yellow naturally once harvested, have a sweet but tarty flavor, and the flesh has minimal browning (oxidation) when exposed to air. Banana plants love warm fertile soils with consistent moisture. Full sun exposures are best and a long growing season is required to set the flowering stalk and fruits."

It is important in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the bodies of humans and animals. [ 1] [2] Potassium is necessary for the function of all living cells, and is thus present in all plant and animal tissues. It is found in especially high concentrations within plant cells, and in a mixed diet, it is most highly concentrated in fruits. The high concentration of potassium in plants, associated with comparatively very low amounts of sodium there, historically resulted in potassium first being isolated from the ashes of plants ( potash ), which in turn gave the element its modern name. The high concentration of potassium in plants means that heavy crop production rapidly depletes soils of potassium, and agricultural fertilizers consume 93% of the potassium chemical production of the modern world economy. The functions of potassium and sodium in living organisms are quite different. Animals, in particular, employ sodium and potassium differentially to generate electrical potentials in animal cells, especially in nervous tissue. Potassium depletion in animals, including humans, results in various neurological dysfunctions. Characteristic concentrations of potassium in model organisms are: 30-300m M in E. coli, 300m M in budding yeast, 100m M in mammalian cell and 4m M in blood plasma. ["

Cannas have been in and out of fashion many times during their long history, and are currently rebounding in popularity from a post WWII low. In the South, we plant canna bulbs and forget-em, but north of Zone 7b, canna lily bulbs are easy to lift and store during the winter. We urge our readers to visit our garden during the summer and fall open house and garden dates to see our Canna plant collection. You can also check out our web site to view our cannas for sale. How to grow Canna Lily Canna 'Blueberry Sparkler'Garden Design Considerations for Canna Lilies Canna plants should be located where they will have a visual impact at the height of summer. Most cannas are tall and need to be placed at the back of a bed, but there are some dwarf varieties that will look good at the front of the border. Here at our garden nursery, we combine cannas with spring bulbs, baptisia, daylilies, coneflowers, cuphea, and ornamental grasses. Canna plants are 55mph plants and can be located along highways where they can be appreciated by drivers. In 1986, in preparation for the US Olympic Festival in Raleigh, we introduced the NC Department of Transportation Roadside Beautification Division to canna lily bulbs, by sharing several dump truck loads of Canna bulbs (rhizomes) cultivar 'The President' from plantings that we had growing at the NC State Fair grounds."

"text": "There are nearly two dozen of species of Platycerium and more and more end up in cultivation every year. However, most are quite rare and many of those are also relatively fastidious. But a few are fairly easy and rewarding species to grow up from small plants on up to large behemoths. These plants are tropical epiphytes. They grow on the sides of tree trunks, rocks and walls in nature. All ferns start out is microscopic spores. In the humid tropics, where it never gets cold or rarely dry, the spores have the perfect environment to grow in. Though it still amazes me how a huge, 100-pound fern can have started out as single spore, somehow attach to a wall, and then grow on a sheer vertical structure many feet off the ground and not fall down. Since most of us don't live in the tropics, the following are some suggestions to grow a Staghorn Fern in your less-than-tropical garden. Platycerium bifurcatum growing on a palm in cultivation Platyceriums basically consist of 3 parts: the roots (small and sometimes hard to see), sterile or basal fronds (which eventually dry up and form the ‘shield' or rounded base of the Staghorn fern) and the foliar fronds for which these beautiful ferns are named after (look a bit like a deer's antlers)."

Still other fruits, such as limes and lemons, may be planted in the ground in warmer climates and in containers in cooler areas. Better yet, many modern-day edible fruit plants have dwarf varieties, meaning they can co-exist in a garden with fruits, shrubs, and other plants. To help you choose the edible fruits that work best for your needs and landscape, use the information in the Better Homes and Gardens Plant Encyclopedia.

Not really a tree at all, banana is a perennial herbaceous plant hardy in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 11. Bananas are killed back to the ground by temperatures below freezing. While many modern hybrid cultivars are available, not all banana trees produce edible fruit. If tasty treats are your goal, plant a known fruiting cultivar and provide the finicky specimen with everything it requires for successful fruiting.1Plant your banana tree in a sunny, open spot where it will not be shaded by structures or other plants. Locate the banana in the highest area of your property to promote excellent drainage and keep the plant out of the cooler air that settles in low spots. Leave at least 6 feet between multiple banana plants to allow for spread. Bananas fruit best in fertile soils enriched with composted organic matter and humus."

"text": "Causes Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) sometimes occurs for no apparent reason. However, the risk of developing DVT is increased in certain circumstances. Inactivity When you're inactive your blood tends to collect in the lower parts of your body, often in your lower legs. This is usually nothing to worry about because when you start to move, your blood flow increases and moves evenly around your body. However, if you're unable to move for a long period of time – such as after an operation, because of an illness or injury, or during a long journey – your blood flow can slow down considerably. A slow blood flow increases the chances of a blood clot forming. In hospital If you have to go into hospital for an operation or procedure, your risk of getting a blood clot increases. This is because DVT is more likely to occur when you're unwell or inactive, or less active than usual. As a patient, your risk of developing DVT depends on the type of treatment you're having. You may be at increased risk of DVT if any of the following apply:you're having an operation that takes longer than 90 minutes, or 60 minutes if the operation is on your leg, hip or abdomenyou're having an operation for an inflammatory or abdominal condition, such as appendicitisyou're confined to a bed, unable to walk, or spending a large part of the day in a bed or chair for at least three days You may also be at increased risk of DVT if you're much less active than usual because of an operation or serious injury and have other DVT risk factors, such as a family history of the condition."

Bleeding from the birth canal before 20 weeks is called a threatened abortion or miscarriage. The bleeding may or may not have abdominal pain associated with it. The blood loss may be brown spotting, blood stained discharge or bright red bleeding. The amount of bleeding is proportional to the risk of miscarriage, the greater the bleeding the greater the risk of miscarriage (Beischer & Mackay, 1998). Abdominal pain associated with the bleeding is not considered a good sign. Around one in four women will experience vaginal bleeding in the first three months of pregnancy. Of these women 70-80% will continue their pregnancies to full term (Bennett & Brown, 1993). Is there anything I can do to help prevent the threatened miscarriage becoming a miscarriage?

Because of its nature, it is usually referred to as a menstrual period, or simply a period, which starts around the time of sexual maturity (puberty) and ends at the end of a woman's reproductive life (menopause). A woman's period blood colors and textures may vary, like brown period blood with heavy clots, during various stages of life and during times when certain conditions may interfere with the normal cycle. Here is a discussion of normal and abnormal conditions, which may affect the characteristics of one's periods. What Is a Normal Period?

"text": "\"Home » Current Health Articles » Brown Vaginal Bleeding Brown Vaginal Bleeding Posted by Dr. Chris Tweet The color of vaginal blood is usually expected to be a bright to dark red and a brown vaginal bleed may be concerning since it is not the norm. Brown vaginal blood, either light or dark in color, usually indicates that the blood is not fresh and has been contained in the vagina or uterus for a period of time before being expelled. It is important to identify any vaginal secretion because brown vaginal discharge is often mistaken for brown vaginal bleeding. Causes of Brown Vaginal Blood Brown vaginal secretions may at times be a vaginal discharge streaked with ‘old blood’ – blood that is breaking down and has taken a period of time before it exits through the vagina. At other times, a brown vaginal discharge may occur on its own with no signs of bleeding and this may seen in vaginal infections or pelvic inflammatory disease. Any of the causes of abnormal vaginal bleeding may appear as brown vaginal blood if the bleeding occurs slowly thereby allowing the blood to degrade over time. Some of the causes of brown vaginal bleeding include : Retained menses. The sloughing of the inner wall of the uterus (endometrium) is usually expelled during menstruation but at times a small portion of the uterine contents may be retained. If expelled after a couple of days or more, it may appear as brown vaginal bleeding. In the case of retained menses, this is usually a small amount that may occur a few days after you finish your period."

"text": "Deep Vein Thrombosis Because of advances in medicine/traumatic care, blunt force trauma and the injuries sustained are usually treated very rapidly, and morbidity directly from trauma has been seen to decrease. However, this may also explain an increase in morbidity indirectly, through Deep Vein Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism. A Deep Vein Thrombosis is a blood clot that forms within a normally functioning vein, and mostly occurs in the leg but can also occur in other parts of the body such as the arm. A DVT becomes a classified as an Embolism when the clot, or piece of the clot breaks off or is dislodged and freely floats about the blood stream. DVTs and Pulmonary Embolisms are dangerous because of their potential to become lodged when the blood reaches the lungs, and can cause an array of problems, potentially causing death. What causes deep vein thrombosis? Trauma – The vein’s inner lining becomes damaged due to injuries cause by a variety of factors including surgery, serious injuries, inflammation, and immune responses Lack of blood movement – Sluggish/slow blood flow due to lack of motion can occur after surgery, if you are ill and in bed for long periods of time, or while traveling. Genetics or hypercoagulable state – Your blood is thicker or more likely to clot than normal. Inherited conditions, hormone therapy, ceratin cancer drugs and birth control pills increase clotting risk. How do you prevent deep vein thrombosis?"

Some authors claim it’s a norm, while others insist it is definitely pathological. You can even come across opinions that thickened blood masses happen during menses due to hormonal imbalance or problems with coagulation.

After reading this article you will have a complete clear understanding on how to react to the mentioned specific symptom.

Many women get them during their menstrual period when they have days of heavy cramping and heavy bleeding. Your body usually makes things called \"\"anti-coagulants,\"\" that keep your blood from clotting as it moves to your vagina and out of your body. But during days of heavy bleeding and cramping, your body is pushing blood so quickly out of you that your body does not have time to release these anti-coagulants. Your blood then clots. If you have clots that are bigger than a quarter, it is a good idea to talk with your health care provider. Menstrual clots are normal for many women, but they can also signal changes that may or may not be significant."

"text": "Is Heavy Period After Pregnancy Normal? After giving birth, a woman enters postpartum which goes on for a period of six weeks. The periods start again after some time as well. The arrival time of the first postpartum period might vary and depends on the body type. Since all mothers are different, the exact time when the period will resume again is not the same for everyone. However, generally speaking, the periods of new mothers who aren’t nursing their baby resume after six to eight weeks of giving birth. Most women will experience heavy period after pregnancy and they wonder if it’s serious. What’s First Period Like After Pregnancy? Periods that occur after childbirth are more vengeful than the ones that had occurred before. Women’s and Children’s Health Network warns that the first period after pregnancy usually is more discomforting and comes with painful cramps."

"text": "Be Aware of Risk in the Veins By Jon Caswell Venous thromboembolism may be one of the most dangerous conditions you’ve never heard of, particularly for stroke survivors. What is VTE? Blood clots form when something slows or changes the flow of blood in the veins. A stationary blood clot that forms in one part of the body is a thrombus, then if it moves through the bloodstream until it lodges in a narrow vessel and blocks the flow of blood, is called an embolus. An embolus in a coronary artery can cause a heart attack, in a cerebral artery, it can cause a stroke. When these blood clots occur in the veins it is called venous thromboembolism (VTE). There are two related, and potentially life-threatening, conditions that come under the category of VTE, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). When they occur, they demand immediate medical attention. DVT and PEDeep vein thrombosis affects up to 2 million people in the U. S. and happens when a clot occurs in the larger veins deeper in the body, as opposed to a vein that runs close to the body’s surface. The risk of DVT in those who’ve had a stroke is higher than in those who haven’t."

"text": "Print Overview Blood clot in leg vein Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot (thrombus) forms in one or more of the deep veins in your body, usually in your legs. Deep vein thrombosis can cause leg pain or swelling, but also can occur with no symptoms. Deep vein thrombosis can develop if you have certain medical conditions that affect how your blood clots. It can also happen if you don't move for a long time, such as after surgery or an accident, or when you're confined to bed. Deep vein thrombosis can be very serious because blood clots in your veins can break loose, travel through your bloodstream and lodge in your lungs, blocking blood flow (pulmonary embolism). Symptoms Deep vein thrombosis signs and symptoms can include: Swelling in the affected leg. Rarely, there's swelling in both legs. Pain in your leg. The pain often starts in your calf and can feel like cramping or soreness. Red or discolored skin on the leg."

In the United States, a notary public is a person appointed by a state government, e.g., the governor, lieutenant governor, state secretary, or in some cases the state legislature, and whose primary role is to serve the public as an impartial witness when important documents are signed. Since the notary is a state officer, a notary's duties may vary widely from state to state and in most cases bars a notary from acting outside his or her home state unless they also have a commission there as well.

Notaries in 18 states and the District of Columbia are required to take a course, pass an exam, or both; the education or exam requirements in Delaware and Kansas only apply to notaries who will perform electronic notarizations. [ 1]A notary is almost always permitted to notarize a document anywhere in the state where their commission is issued. Some states simply issue a commission \"\"at large\"\" meaning no indication is made as to from what county the person's commission was issued, but some states do require the notary include the county of issue of their commission as part of the jurat, or where seals are required, to indicate the county of issue of their commission on the seal. Merely because a state requires indicating the county where the commission was issued does not necessarily mean that the notary is restricted to notarizing documents in that county, although some states may impose this as a requirement. Some states (Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, among others) allow a notary who is commissioned in a state bordering that state to also act as a notary in the state if the other allows the same."

Before you could exchange vows, you had to give blood to be sure you weren't giving your beloved more than just undying devotion. But no more. About two years ago, Oklahoma's elected leaders decided to do away with requiring couples to take a syphilis blood test before they could get a marriage license. The marriage licensing process was not the place to thwart the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, they said. When House Bill 2134 took effect, it changed a state law that had been on the books for 60 years. Today, such tests no longer are required unless the state Health Department chooses to reinstate the law in an emergency, said a member of the state House research staff. \"\" There was no rational reason for keeping it,\"\" said Rep. Ron Peters, R-Tulsa, the bill's author. Peters said only one true case of syphilis was found in 260,000 tests given during a five year period between 1999 and 2004, helping lead to the decision to repeal the state's mandatory blood test. But Oklahoma County administrators say it seems the public hasn't heard about the change. \"\""

"text": "Five Functions of the Muscular Systemby PAULA QUINENE Aug. 14, 2017The human muscular system includes skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscle tissue. Skeletal muscles attach to your bones, stabilizing the skeleton and enabling voluntary and reflexive movement. Smooth muscle tissue found in blood vessels and various body organs produces involuntary movement essential for normal function. Cardiac muscle occurs only in the wall of the heart, enabling its pumping action. In addition to structural and movement-related functions, the muscular system helps maintain normal body temperature. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Voluntary and Reflexive Movement Skeletal muscles normally account for at least 40 percent of your body weight and are categorized as appendicular or axial based on body location. The large muscles of your arms and legs are appendicular skeletal muscles. The axial skeletal muscles include those of your trunk, head and neck. Contraction of skeletal muscle produces voluntary gross and fine movements, a primary function of the muscular system. Gross movement refers to large coordinated movements such as walking, running, jumping, sitting down, standing up, lifting large objects, swimming, and swinging a bat or racket."

"text": "Lymphatic Vessel Structure The lymphatic structure is based on that of blood vessels. Learning Objectives Describe lymphatic circulation and the structure of lymphatic vessels Key Takeaways Key Points Lymph (or lymphatic ) vessels are thin-walled valved structures that carry lymph. Lymph vessels are lined by endothelial cells and have a thin layer of smooth muscles and adventitia that bind the lymph vessels to the surrounding tissue. Lymph movement occurs despite low pressure due to smooth muscle action, valves, and compression during contraction of adjacent skeletal muscle and arterial pulsation. When the pressure inside a lymphangion becomes high enough, lymph fluid will push through the semilunar valve into the next lymphangion, while the valve then closes. Lymph vessels are structurally very similar to blood vessels. Valves prevent backwards flow of lymph fluid, which allows the lymphatic system to function without a central pump. Key Termslymphagion: The space between two semilunar valves of the lymphatic vessels that forms a distinct functional unit for the forward flow of lymph.adventitia: The outermost layer of connective tissue encasing a visceral organ or vessel. ISF: Interstitial (or tissue) fluid, a solution that bathes and surrounds the cells of multicellular animals. It is the main component of extracellular fluid, which also includes plasma and transcellular fluid.endothelial cells: A thin layer of cells that lines the interior surface of blood and lymphatic vessels, forming an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall."

"text": "\"Structure and Function of Blood Vessels Blood is carried through the body via blood vessels. An artery is a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart, where it branches into ever-smaller vessels. Eventually, the smallest arteries, vessels called arterioles, further branch into tiny capillaries, where nutrients and wastes are exchanged, and then combine with other vessels that exit capillaries to form venules, small blood vessels that carry blood to a vein, a larger blood vessel that returns blood to the heart. Arteries and veins transport blood in two distinct circuits: the systemic circuit and the pulmonary circuit ( [link] ). Systemic arteries provide blood rich in oxygen to the body’s tissues. The blood returned to the heart through systemic veins has less oxygen, since much of the oxygen carried by the arteries has been delivered to the cells. In contrast, in the pulmonary circuit, arteries carry blood low in oxygen exclusively to the lungs for gas exchange. Pulmonary veins then return freshly oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart to be pumped back out into systemic circulation. Although arteries and veins differ structurally and functionally, they share certain features. Cardiovascular Circulation The pulmonary circuit moves blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs and back to the heart."

"text": "<< Back to October 2005Why Our Arteries Become Clogged As We Age October 2005By John Colman Artwork of a human heart showing narrowing of the coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis on the artery wall. The narrowing causes abnormal clotting, which blocks the vessel and starves the heart muscle of blood, causing a heart attack. The aging process damages blood vessels, even when conventional risk factors such as cholesterol and blood pressure are within normal ranges. Despite aggressive intervention with diet, exercise, supplements, and drugs, pathological changes still occur in the arterial wall that predispose aging adults to vascular diseases. The encouraging news is that a non-prescription method has been developed to address the underlying reason why arteries become occluded as people reach the later stages of their lives. For the past 35 years, the standard way to treat coronary atherosclerosis has been to bypass the blocked arteries. Recuperation from coronary bypass surgery can take months, and some patients are afflicted with lifetime impairments such as memory loss, chronic inflammation, and depression. 1,2The scientific literature reveals that atherosclerosis is associated with high blood levels of homocysteine, C-reactive protein, insulin, iron, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides, along with low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and testosterone. Optimizing blood levels of these substances can dramatically reduce heart attack and stroke risk. 3-14Prescribing a “statin” drug is what today’s doctors typically do to prevent and treat coronary atherosclerosis."

The heart wall can be divided into three layers: (1) The endocardium (the innermost layer, in contact with blood) is an endothelial cell-lined layer continuous with the tunica intima of those blood vessels that join and leave the heart. ( 2) The myocardium is composed of cardiac muscle and corresponds to the tunica media of the blood vessel wall. ( 3) The epicardium (the outermost layer) is covered by a reflection of the mesothelial-lined (serous or visceral) pericardium, contains coronary blood vessels and nerves, and corresponds to the tunica adventitia of blood vessels ( Plates 149 and 152 ). The mammalian heart has four chambers, two thin-walled atria and two thicker-walled ventricles. The central supporting structure is the \"\"cardiac skeleton,\"\" composed of dense white fibrous (collagenous) connective tissue into which the cardiac muscle fibers of the atria and ventricles insert and to which the heart valves are attached. The orifices of the four chambers are guarded by valves, which are endocardial folds supported by internal plates of dense collagenous and elastic connective tissue continuous with the cardiac skeleton. The right atrioventricular valve has three cusps; hence, it is called the tricuspid valve."

"text": "The blood vessels Because of the need for the early development of a transport system within the embryo, the organs of the vascular system are among the first to appear and to assume their functional role. In fact, this system is established in its basic form by the fourth week of embryonic life. At approximately the 18th day of gestation, cells begin to group together between the outer skin ( ectoderm) and the inner skin ( endoderm) of the embryo. These cells soon become rearranged so that the more peripheral ones join to form a continuous flattened sheet enclosing more centrally placed cells; these cells remain suspended in a fluid medium as primitive blood cells. The tubes then expand and unite to form a network; the primitive blood vessels thus appear. Blood: path of a red blood cell In a circuit through the cardiovascular system, red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues and carry carbon dioxide from the body tissues back to the lungs. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The blood vessels consist of a closed system of tubes that transport blood to all parts of the body and back to the heart. As in any biologic system, structure and function of the vessels are so closely related that one cannot be discussed without the other’s being taken into account. Arteries transport blood to body tissues under high pressure, which is exerted by the pumping action of the heart. The heart forces blood into these elastic tubes, which recoil, sending blood on in pulsating waves."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Structure of Blood Vessels a) Three distinct layers or tunics form the walls of blood vessels: ---The tunica interna (tunica intima) is the innermost layer. It contains the endothelium which is a continuation of the endocardial lining of the heart. The endothelium contains simple squamous epithelial cells that form a flat slick surface inside the blood vessels which minimizes friction as blood moves through the lumen (central blood containing space of blood vessel). In vessels larger than 1 mm in diameter a subendothelial layer ofloose connective tissue (a basement membrane) supports the endothelium---- ---The tunica media is the middle layer and consists circularly arranged smooth muscle cells andsheets of elastin. The smooth muscle is innervated by vasomotor nerve fibers of the sympathetic system of the autonomic nervous system. The smooth muscles can be used to reduce the diameter of the lumen due to the contraction of the smooth muscle fibers (vasoconstriction) , or to increase the diameter of the lumen due to smooth muscle relaxation (vasodialation). --- ---The tunica externa (tunica adventitia) is the outermost layer and is composed largely of collagen fibers that protect and reinforce the blood vessel and anchor it to surrounding structures. The vasa vasorum (vessels of the vessels) is found within the tunica externa of largervessels which nourish the more external tissues of the vessel wall. The innermost or luminal portion of the vessel obtains its nutrients directly from the blood in the lumen.---- i hope i'm helping u....and am in facebook username:facebook/harshid.rahuman HARSHID · 6 years ago1 1 Commentcapillaries."

Bloodborne pathogens, infectious microorganisms, are found in human blood that can lead to disease in humans. These microorganisms include but are not limited to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), and hepatitis C (HCV). Hepatitis B, caused by the hepatitis B virus, is a liver disease formerly called \"\"serum hepatitis,\"\" is a life-threatening bloodborne pathogen and serious risk to employees exposed to blood and other bodily fluids. Hepatitis, meaning \"\"inflammation of the liver,\"\" can be caused by many factors including drugs, toxins, infectious agents and viruses and autoimmune disease, to name a few. Hepatitis C, a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus, is known as the most common chronic bloodborne infection in the United States. Hepatitis C is most commonly transmitted through repeated direct exposures to blood. Most chronically-infected people are unaware of their infection because they are not showing symptoms of clinical illness. As of now, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C. Needlesticks (being pricked with a needle) may potentially expose workers to bloodborne pathogens. Workers in many professions, including first aid personnel, housekeeping employees, nurses and other healthcare personnel, and teachers and educators may be at risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens."

A set of procedural directives andguidelines published in August 1987 by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (as Recommendations for Prevention of HIV Transmission in Health-Care Settings) to prevent parenteral, mucous membrane, and nonintact skin exposures of health care workers to bloodborne pathogens. In December 1991, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgated its Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, incorporating universal precautions and imposing detailed requirements on employers of healthcare workers, including engineering controls, provision of protective barrier devices, standardizedlabeling of biohazards, mandatory training of employees in Universal Precautions, management of accidental parenteral exposure incidents, and availability to employees of immunizationagainst hepatitis B. The principle underlying universal precautions is that the blood and certain other body fluids of allrecipients of health care are to be considered potentially infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and other bloodborne pathogens. Universal precautions apply to blood,unfixed tissues (except intact skin), cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid,pericardial fluid, amniotic fluid, semen, and vaginal secretions, but not to feces, nasal secretions,sputum, sweat, tears, urine, or vomitus unless these materials contain visible blood. Specificprecautions are prescribed with respect to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, surgery, invasive diagnosticprocedures, obstetrics, renal dialysis, dentistry, clinical laboratories, morgues, and morticians'services. Barrier devices such as gloves, gowns, waterproof aprons, masks, and protective eyewear arerequired in certain settings, to prevent exposure to blood and other biologically hazardous materials. The OSHA standard requires glove wear for phlebotomy and intraoral examinations and manipulations. Standards are also imposed for laundry, cleaning of surfaces, and disposal of contaminated wastes."

Introduction Bloodborne pathogens are any pathogenic microorganisms found in the blood or other bodily infectious material that can cause disease in humans. Examples of bloodborne pathogens include hepatitis B virus hepatitis C virus , human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), malaria, syphilis, viral hemorrhagic fever, arboviral infections, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and relapsing fever. The three bloodborne pathogens that are the most commonly involved in occupational exposures in healthcare workers are hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV (Weber, Rutala, Eron, 2013; Deuffic-Burbank, Delaroccque-Astagneau, Abitedoul, 2011). Healthcare worker exposures and potential exposures to these pathogens are widespread. Some studies have estimated that there are more than 400,000 parental exposures suffered by healthcare workers in the US every year and that every year 1 out of 10 healthcare workers in the US suffers a splash exposure or a needle stick injury (Karmon, Mehta, Brehm, 2013; Henderson, 2012). The exact number of exposures is not known and part of the problem is under reporting: it has been estimated that approximately 50-67% of all needlesticks and exposures to bloodborne pathogens are not reported (Bernard, Dattilo, Laporte, 2013; CDC, 2008)."

It is important to know the ways exposure and transmission are most likely to occur in your particular situation, be it providing first aid to a student in the classroom, handling blood samples in the laboratory, or cleaning up blood from a hallway. HBV and HIV are most commonly transmitted through: Sexual Contact Sharing of hypodermic needles From mothers to their babies at/before birth Accidental puncture from contaminated needles, broken glass, or other sharps Contact between broken or damaged skin and infected body fluids Contact between mucous membranes and infected body fluids Accidental puncture from contaminated needles and other sharps can result in transmission of bloodborne pathogens. In most work or laboratory situations, transmission is most likely to occur because of accidental puncture from contaminated needles, broken glass, or other sharps; contact between broken or damaged skin and infected body fluids; or contact between mucous membranes and infected body fluids. For example, if someone infected with HBV cut their finger on a piece of glass, and then you cut yourself on the now infected piece of glass, it is possible that you could contract the disease. Anytime there is blood-to-blood contact with infected blood or body fluids, there is a slight potential for transmission. Unbroken skin forms an impervious barrier against bloodborne pathogens. However, infected blood can enter your system through: Open sores Cuts Abrasions Acne Any sort of damaged or broken skin such as sunburn or blisters Bloodborne pathogens may also be transmitted through the mucous membranes of the Eyes Nose Mouth For example, a splash of contaminated blood to your eye, nose, or mouth could result in transmission. << Section 3: Bloodborne Diseases Section 5: PPE, Work Practices and Engineering Controls >>"

In August 1987, CDC published a document entitled \"\"Recommendations for Prevention of HIV Transmission in Health-Care Settings\"\" (1). In contrast to the 1983 document, the 1987 document recommended that blood and body fluid precautions be consistently used for all patients regardless of their bloodborne infection status. This extension of blood and body fluid precautions to all patients is referred to as \"\"Universal Blood and Body Fluid Precautions\"\" or \"\"Universal Precautions.\"\" Under universal precautions, blood and certain body fluids of all patients are considered potentially infectious for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and other bloodborne pathogens."

In December 1991, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgated its Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, incorporating universal precautions and imposing detailed requirements on employers of health care workers, including engineering controls, provision of protectivebarrier devices, standardized labeling of biohazards, mandatory training of employees in Universal Precautions, management of accidental parenteral exposure incidents, andavailability to employees of immunization against hepatitis B. The principle underlying universal precautions is that the blood and certain other body fluids of allrecipients of health care are to be considered potentially infected with human immunodeficiencyvirus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and other bloodborne pathogens. Universal precautions apply to blood, unfixed tissues (except intact skin), cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, pleural fluid, peritonealfluid, pericardial fluid, amniotic fluid, semen, and vaginal secretions, but not to feces, nasalsecretions, sputum, sweat, tears, urine, or vomitus unless these materials contain visible blood. Specific precautions are prescribed with respect to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, surgery, invasivediagnostic procedures, obstetrics, renal dialysis, dentistry, clinical laboratories, morgues, andmorticians' services. Barrier devices such as gloves, gowns, waterproof aprons, masks, andprotective eyewear are required in certain settings, to prevent exposure to blood and otherbiologically hazardous materials. The OSHA standard requires glove wear for phlebotomy andintraoral examinations and manipulations. Standards are also imposed for laundry, cleaning of surfaces, and disposal of contaminated wastes. Special precautions are advised for handlingneedles, scalpels, and other sharp instruments or devices after use."

This Exposure Control Plan is a further indication of this commitment. Purpose The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgated a new standard on December 6, 1991, entitled \"\"Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens\"\". ( See Appendix A.) The purpose of this regulation is to limit occupational exposure to blood and other potentially-infectious materials, since any exposure could result in transmission of bloodborne pathogens which could lead to disease or death. Back to Contents Scope OSHAs Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens standard covers all employees who could be \"\"reasonably anticipated\"\", as the result of performing their job duties, to have contact with blood and other potentially infectious materials. OSHA has not attempted to list all occupations where exposure could occur. It leaves this task to the employer. \"\" Good Samaritan\"\" acts, such as assisting a coworker with a nosebleed, would not be considered occupational exposure. Back to Contents Infectious Material Defined: Infectious material includes: human blood, human blood components, products made from human blood, semen, vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, amniotic fluid, saliva in dental procedures, body fluid visibly contaminated with blood, and all body fluids in situations where it is difficult or impossible to differentiate between body fluids. They also include any unfixed tissue or organ other than intact skin from a human (living or dead), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-containing cells or tissue cultures, organ cultures, HIV or Hepatitis B (HBV)-containing culture medium or other solutions, as well as blood, organs or other tissues from experimental animals infected with HIV or HBV."

"text": "\"4K movies are coming to Blu-ray discs and hard drives Richard Lawler, @Rjcc01.09.15 Comments Sure, there are plenty of Ultra HD televisions floating around the Las Vegas Convention Center, but how will you find anything suitably super high-res to play on them? Netflix, Amazon and a few others have started 4K internet delivery, while Direc TV and Comcast also have limited approaches, but sometimes you prefer media you can hold onto. Physical media fans have help on the way in two forms, but the bad news is neither one is ready to launch right now. The Blu-ray Disc Association has confirmed the name of its 4K format (Ultra HD Blu-ray) and many of its capabilities, while the Secure Content Storage Association has its own demo for Ultra HD movies you can download and transfer (almost) at will, with backing from Fox, Warner Bros., Samsung and others. Panasonic is showing off a prototype Ultra HD Blu-ray player in its booth here, and shockingly -- it's a Blu-ray player. The demo unit has a hole cut in the top, but we didn't spot any extra pixels leaking out anywhere. According to statements from various board members, licensing is on track to happen this summer and we could see discs by the end of this year. It's expected that Ultra HD Blu-ray will upgrade the format to handle 33GB layers (up from the 25GB per layer of current discs) and discs that hold as much 100GB of data. You'll need a new player to read the new discs, but the new players will be backwards compatible with existing Blu-ray movies. In our discussions with studio execs, we've heard that most movies encoded with HEVC (h.265, the new compression format for 4K video) should fit on dual-layer discs comfortably."

However, as it stands, my bluray says that the device is not supported or something, and then when running through my receiver it says no connection/signal. I am operating on an i Mac, have a Sony bluray and a Marantz receiver. I saw this on a \"\"must have\"\" guide to players: 8. USB and Memory Card Connections Blu-ray players can have connection ports for extra external memory. Sometimes the extra memory is required to access BD-Live, but it also allows the system to play digital files such as photos, music, or videos that are stored on USB or memory cards. Some Blu-ray systems also have a slideshow feature to browse through photos. This seems like it would indicate that this is a possibility. and my bluray player is a higher end one with all the chit (wifi, online, bd live, multiple USB ports) but it just says this media device is not supported."

I spoke to some of our Advisors and collected the most popular questions they hear these days. Is 4K Blu-ray worth it? If you have a 4K TV and you want to see its best picture, you’ll want a 4K Blu-ray player (like the Samsung UHD-M8500 or the new Oppo UDP-203 ). Ultra HD Blu-ray discs can hold much more data than standard Blu-ray discs, so they can deliver full 4K resolution along with enhanced color and contrast.4K Blu-ray produces the sharpest, most textured picture quality I’ve seen on a 4K screen. Movies with HDR (High Dynamic Range) are particularly striking – closely matching the vibe of the full theater experience. What is HDR? HDR is a breakthrough technology that drastically improves 4K picture quality by increasing the contrast range. It allows compatible TVs to display extremely bright and dark black picture content together within the same image. Ultra HD Blu-ray movies with HDR are the current gold standard for picture quality."

More importantly, Windows 10 will be a single operating system that finally spans all of Microsoft’s Windows powered devices, from desktops and laptops all the way through to tablets and phones. “ Windows 10 will be our most comprehensive platform ever,” says Windows boss Terry Myerson. Once the Windows 10 released, many users will get this updated OS. However, an inevitable problem will come along, that is the compatibility of applications with Windows 10. We all know that application programs require an operating system to function. OS verifies, application program has to update to be compatible with Windows 10."

"text": "What’s the difference between DVDs and Blu-Ray movies? November 30, 2010 / Dave Taylor / Computer and Internet Basics, d) None of the Above / 6 Comments I’m pretty convinced that there’s no meaningful difference between a movie that I buy in regular DVD format and one that’s in Blu-Ray format, other than the price tag. Seems to me that when I watch them, they both look great and my TV tells me when I play a DVD on my Blu-Ray player that it’s getting a 1080p signal. So is Blu-Ray just a huge rip-off? There are a number of misconceptions and misunderstandings in your query, so let’s try to unravel them and explain why Blu-Ray is dramatically better than a more traditional DVD disk for movies that have been prepared for the higher definition Blu-Ray format. For you to be able to compare, I will make the assumption that you have a Blu-Ray player. For purposes of backwards compatibility, all Blu-Ray players also play older DVD disks and most of them actually do something slick called “upsampling” where they use circuitry to extrapolate what would be between rows of pixels in the image and add “intermediate” information. A standard DVD, remember, is 480p, which means it has 480 vertical lines of information by 720 horizontal lines (a total of 345,600 pixels) for each image and is generally in a 4:3 aspect ratio (width:height). Capacity-wise, commercial DVDs generally hold about 4.5 Gbyte, though the encoded movie data might take up less space than this: a highly compressed movie can often be stored in 1GB or less. By comparison, a Blu-Ray disk can store 25GB of data and the video on that disk is 1080p, or 1,080 vertical lines of information x 1920 horizontal lines (a total of 2,073,600 pixels) at a 16:9 aspect ratio."

"text": "\"Can I play a Blu-ray Disc in my DVD Writer? Posted by Jake Ludington on May 30, 2011 Ask Jake\"\"Can I play a Blu-ray Disc on my PC with my DVD writer drive? \"\" Blu-ray discs require a Blu-ray compatible drive in order to play Blu-ray movies on your PC or in your home entertainment system. A standard DVD-RW or DVD+RW drive will not play Blu-ray movies on your PC. Unless the DVD drive in your computer specifically says it is Blu-ray compatible, which technically makes it a Blu-ray drive, not a DVD drive, you won't be able to play Blu-ray disk on your computer without purchasing an additional Blu-ray drive to upgrade your computer. Fortunately the prices for Blu-ray drives have come down substantially and are now under US $100 for a drive you can connect to an existing Windows PC. Depending on the type of computer you have, you can either purchase an external Blu-ray drive that connects via USB or you can get an internal drive for a desktop computer case. Keep in mind in addition to the actual Blu-ray drive, you also need software capable of decoding the Blu-ray video on the disc. The software I use to play Blu-ray on my own computer is Cyberlink Power DVD, which is a reliable software solution for all versions of Windows, including XP and Windows 7.

Nearly identical in size, blu ray discs and dvd’s have remarkably different storage capacities. A single layer dvd disc can hold approximately 4.7 gigabytes of data while a single layer blu ray disc of basically the same size can hold approximately 27 gigabytes of data. The difference in storage capacity and the option of double-layered and the potential for futre development has attracted the attention of every producer that uses disc technology. Blu ray is a different technology applied to optical disc storage. Blu ray utilizes a different layer than dvd technology. Utilizing the short-wave length of a blue-violet laser, the technology is able to write data with greater precision, fitting more data onto the disc. The aperture setting used is also different to maximize the storage capacity. These changes have enabled more than double the data to be fit on a disc of comparable size. DVD technology was released commercially at the end of the 1990’s."

Crabs should be kept alive in a cooler with ice or in a refrigerator. Land crabs should never be stored in water--they will die quickly as they are land-based and breathe oxygen.

The crab can also be found in and around the salt marshes of South Carolina and Georgia. It is widely caught for food. The closely related species Menippe adina (gulf stone crab) is sometimes considered a subspecies – they can interbreed, forming hybrids – and they are treated as one species for commercial fishing, with their ranges partly overlapping.

"text": "\"Smart News Keeping you current Coconut Crabs Eat Everything from Kittens to, Maybe, Amelia Earhart According to one theory, Earhart did not drown in the Pacific but instead crashed on the remote Nikumaroro atoll, where she was eaten by coconut crabs ( Wikicommons)By Rachel Nuwersmithsonian.com December 26, 2013Among terrestrial arthropods, the phylum that includes crustaceans, spiders and insects, coconut crabs are the largest on the planet. The crabs, which live on islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans, can grow up to three feet across and weigh nine pounds, Wired reports. To get that big, the crabs need to eat a lot. Environmental Graffiti explains: Coconut crabs come forth irregularly at night to feed, loot, raid and plunder. The crab is known for its ability to crack or pound open coconuts with the strong pincers or two large chelae it possesses in order to eat the contents. The soft white meat of the coconut forms the main part of the crab’s diet. However, it also eats simple foodstuffs such as fruit and leaves as well as more ‘extreme’ items like crustaceans’ exoskeletons that have been moulted. This may serve as a calcium source for the growth of the creature’s own shell. Besides eating their own exoskeletons, the crabs have been known to feast on chickens, kittens and and fellow coconut crabs. Finding these delicacies requires a bit of sniffing around."

Found on islands in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, it was one of the species recorded by Charles Darwin on his legendary expeditions. Specimens can easily reach up to 3 feet (1 m) in diameter and weigh as much as 11 pounds (5 kg), with the females being considerably smaller than males. Actually a type of hermit crab much like the tiny ones kept as pets, the adult coconut crab does not share other hermit crabs' habit of using a series of shells as armored, mobile homes. Instead, the body of the coconut crab itself develops into a hard, shell-like coating, which does not limit growth and allows it to reach its massive size. The name coconut crab comes from the crab's ability to crack open and eat coconuts with its strong claws. Pressure from the claws can move or pick up objects as heavy as 60 pounds (28 kg). The coconut crab can be a variety of colors from red to purple to blue; color depends on what island it is from. Ad For most of their lives, these crabs live along the coastlines of the islands they inhabit. During breeding season, crabs head into the jungle in order to mate."

The commercial harvest is performed during a very short season, and the catch is shipped worldwide. Large numbers of king crab are also caught in Russian and international waters. In 1980, at the peak of the king crab industry, Alaskan fisheries produced up to 200,000,000 pounds (91,000,000 kg) of crab. However, by 1983, the total size of the catch had dropped by up to 90% in some places. [ 1] Several theories for the precipitous drop in the crab population have been proposed, including overfishing, warmer waters, and increased fish predation. [ 2] As a result the current season is very short and in the 2010 season only 24,000,000 pounds (11,000,000 kg) of red king crab were landed. [ 3]Alaskan crab fishing is very dangerous, and the fatality rate among the fishermen is about 80 times the fatality rate of the average worker.

Though mangrove species often look the same or similar, they are often not members of the same family. Many come from different families not even closely related. Different mangrove species are simply plants that came up with the same strategy to survive in a specific environment as plants in the desert have. [ Source: Kennedy Warne, National Geographic, February 2007; John P. Wiley, Jr., Smithsonian magazine]Mangroves are essentially terrestrial plants that have adapted themselves to living in salt water and mud saturated with hydrogen sulfide (the chemical that produces the rotten egg smell) and salt and is rich in organic matter (up to 90 percent) but deficient in oxygen. Mangrove swamps are difficult to explore. The roots form an impregnable tangle of interlocking roots that make boating through them impossible. Sometimes the roots are covered with a variety of sea creatures and can be as colorful as reefs. Mangrove swamps are easiest to explore on foot at low tide."

The greenhorns started to feel fatigued after only one night. The Northwestern greenhorn, Bradford, was unnerved by the sight of his first king crab—\"\"they look like aliens,\"\" he observed—but was corrected by deck boss Edgar Hansen: \"\"They're gorgeous! Look just like giant dollar bills!\"\" Some ships started catching lots of crabs immediately—the Northwestern had two \"\"riders\"\" on pots kept in underwater storage to add to their tanks before even pulling their first official pots—while others experienced problem after problem with both equipment and finding the crab.3 3 \"\"Lady Luck\"\" April 26, 2005The crews continued to set their crab pots with mixed results—highliner boats like the Fierce Allegiance and the Northwestern were pulling lower numbers than expected; the Western Viking finally found the crab after an extremely bad first string."

Jimmies are generally larger and more meaty, therefore more desirable for eating whole--steamed or boiled. Sooks are often sold to commercial processing plants to be picked and packaged as fresh or pasteurized meat. For crabfeasts or picnics, always ask for Jimmies. Grading (Sizing)Grading (Sizing)There is no industry standard for grading hard crabs. For instance, a crab that is graded \"\"large\"\" in the lower Chesapeake Bay region would be graded \"\"medium\"\" in the upper regions. Use the following as a general rule: Colossal - Hard crab measuring 6 ½ inches or more. Jumbo - Hard crab measuring 6 to 6 ½ inches in size. Large - Hard crab measuring 5 ½ to 6 inches in size.

"text": "\"What Animals Prey on Blue Crabs? By Keri Gardner Blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) can be found in brackish and ocean waters along the coast of the Western Hemisphere. These crabs support both commercial fisheries and recreational fishermen. Crabs start as eggs and move into various larval and adult life stages. Each stage of growth makes them susceptible to different types of predators. Small fish and jellyfish will eat blue crab larvae, while birds, mammals and larger fish will eat older crabs. Humans The biggest predators of blue crabs are humans. Commercial crabbing and loss of habitat have dramatically decreased some blue crab populations. The Chesapeake Bay had a heavy decline in the 1990s, going from a high of nearly 800 million crabs in 1992 to about 250 million in 2000. Since the decline of blue crab numbers, watermen have been catching 62 percent of blue crabs in some locations, while regulations allow only 46 percent of crabs to be harvested."

We get together often for crab boils and crab roasts whenever someone returns from the beach with a cooler full of jimmies and sooks—“crab speak” for male and female blue crabs. An immature female is called a “sally. ”Crabs are much more versatile than most people realize. They can be steamed or boiled of course, or made into crab cakes.

"text": "Land Crab (Cardisoma guanhumi) Blue land crab, white land crab, great land crab, mulatto crab Blue land crab, is a large burrowing crab whose distribution on land is generally limited to within 5 miles of the ocean. Large individuals may grow to over 5 inches and weigh over 18 ounces. The Blue Land Crab is found throughout the Caribbean, Central and South America including Columbia, Venezuela, the Bahamas, and Puerto Rico. Within the U. S. it is limited to the Gulf of Mexico and coastal Florida and is rarely found more than 8 miles from the ocean. It is found in greatest concentration on low lying ground. For the most part, the Land Crab is a vegetarian crab which collects and eats leaves fruits and grasses collected near the vicinity of its burrow. However, these crabs will also eat insects, carrion, feces and is sometimes cannibalistic. Throughout the Bahamas and the Caribbean, the Blue Land Crab is a food resource. Harvesters of wild populations in Venezuela have reported that as many as 400 crabs per harvester per night can be collected and more as migration periods approach. The meat is white and sweet and is often compared in quality to that of the blue crab."

Important, for those who want them fresh. Blue Crab Options There are three basic options; buying fresh, in proximty to where the crab are gotten, having them shipped direct to you live from a seafood dealer, or acquiring frozen crab at a local store. That is, unless you are looking for canned blue crab [Colossal] . Often the blue crab is priced by how they are sorted. Either by male and female, and by their size; small, medium, large (or bay, jimmy and jumbo respectively) and also extra large.

Live blue crab is usually purchased by the dozen, with each crab weighing about one-third of a pound, and each dozen should cost around $25 to $85 . The costs can greatly vary depending on the size of the crabs since the larger the crab, the more meat it will yield.

Other iris species have also been implicated in poisoning of animals and in causing dermatitis in humans (see additional information under Iris pseudacorus ).

Deer love narrow-leafed evergreens, especially arborvitae and fir, and show a particular preference for hostas, daylilies, and English ivy, according to researchers from the University of Rhode Island, who have studied white-tailed deer damage to nurseries in the Northeast. They report that the heaviest browsing occurs from October through February, when food is naturally scarce. Interestingly, several participants in the study noted that deer seem to prefer plants that have been fertilized to those that haven’t. Which Plants Do Deer Dislike?

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Gardening Supplies Weed & Pest Control Other Weed & Pest Control Deer Proof Your Garden--The Easy Wayshadygardens 13K Views 6 Likes Like Share January 7, 2007Since opening the nursery, I've been asked many times, \"\"How do you keep deer from eating your plants? \"\" Well, I have several suggestions that worked for me, and they are surprisingly simple.1. The 1st recommendation is obvious--plant things the deer don't like! Deer prefer nice tasty leaves, and not leaves with fuzz or strong odors. Deer love hosta, pansies, and daylilies--if it's edible for people, deer like it too! They don't like herbs, except for basil. There are many desirable plants the deer will not eat. For instance, anything poisonous, such as Foxgloves, Florida Anise, or Daffodils. Other deer-resistant plants are: Ageratum, Iris, Barberry (they usually won't eat anything with thorns), Buddleia, Mock Orange, Spirea, Lilacs, Dogwood, Magnolia, Boxwood, Holly, Leucothoe, Pieris, and Yucca. See, there are many plants deer won't eat--although when they get truly hungry, they'll taste of anything!2."

"text": "\"EYE COLOR : WINDOWS OF THE AUSSIE SOULOur breed standard allows eyes of any pigment color or combination of pigment colors. Aussie eyes have been seen that are golden, lemon yellow, amber, light brown, dark brown, green, orange, and blue. On very dark individuals they may even appear black. The iris can be monochromatic, have concentric rings of color, flecks of darker pigment, flecks of blue, or be split or marbled with blue (heterochromia iridis). The two eyes of one dog are not always both the same color; one may be pigmented while the other eye is blue, or both may be pigmented but be of different colors (heterochromia irides). Blue eyes are not confined to merles; there is a recessive gene in the breed that produces blue or split blue eyes in solid colored dogs as well. There are probably multiple genes which together affect eye color and it is not possible to predict with certainty eye color from a planned breeding. As a generalization, brown eyes tend to be dominant to lighter eyes. There is some relationship between eye color and coat color as well, since black pups will tend to have slightly darker eyes than red pups in the same litter. Below are some examples of the extraordinary variety of eye color we find in this breed."

"text": "Dog Health Are Bamboo Plants Poisonous to Pets?by Francine Richards Aloe is among many plants that are toxic to dogs and cats. 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": "Color Relationships: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Huesby Kate Smith Learning about color relationships begins with understanding the placement of colors around the color wheel. The placement of colors around the wheel is not random. The arrangement of hues around the color wheel corresponds to the wavelengths of light as was first shown in the original color circle of Isaac Newton. The twelve hues of the color wheel are divided into primary colors, secondary colors and tertiary colors. Primary colors: There are three primary colors. They are the hues yellow, blue and red. These three colors are the hues that in theory can be mixed to make all other colors. If you mix the three primary colors, in theory it would produce black. Secondary colors: By mixing two primary hues together you create a secondary color. There are three secondary colors."

"text": "\"Line Line is a thin mark on a surface created by a pen, pencil, brush, or other tool. A line is sometimes defined as what happens when a moving dot leaves a mark as it travels. An implied line is suggested, but not actually shown. It is a line created by positioning a series of points so that the eye tends automatically to connect them. This can also occur when something looks or points in a certain direction. When line is the main element of an image, the result is often called a drawing. Line is often used in drawings in two basic ways: contour and gesture. Contour lines follow the edges of forms, outlining a shape to describe it. Blind contour drawings are done looking intently at the edges of an object and drawing very slowly and deliberately, but without looking down at the paper. Gesture lines move more freely within forms."

"text": "Article Quick Links Introduction Ds Red Variantsm Fruits Novel Proteins Blue FPs Cyan FPs Green FPs Yellow FPs Orange FPs Red FPs Stokes Shift Print Version Introduction The search for a red-emitting fluorescent protein with performance attributes similar to those of the enhanced green fluorescent protein ( EGFP) from the Aequorea victoria jellyfish (in effect, brightness, photostability, and utility in fusions) has been seen as a critical avenue to providing an important tool for multicolor imaging and in generating new fluorescence resonance energy transfer ( FRET) biosensors with spectral profiles in the longer wavelength regions. Another driver for the development of red fluorescent proteins is that cellular autofluorescent is significantly reduced in this spectral region, allowing the probes to be detected deeper into biological tissue. Furthermore, living cells and tissues better tolerate illumination by the longer excitation wavelengths, allowing extend periods for imaging. Unfortunately, after years of unsuccessful mutagenesis attempts to develop red fluorescent proteins ( RFPs) from the Aequorea -based fluorescent proteins, the yellow fluorescent proteins ( YFPs) remain the most red-shifted of the GFP derivatives. To address this problem, several groups of investigators demonstrated that much of the color diversity in reef corals is a result of GFP-like proteins. It is widely thought that these proteins evolved in the corals to fulfill roles that are distinct from those in the luminescent jellyfish. For example, the production of fluorescent proteins and related chromoproteins (fluorescent protein-like proteins that absorb but do not fluoresce) in the sessile corals might function in a photo-protective role. Alternatively, the fluorescent proteins might function to support the symbiotic relationships between the corals and algae. Regardless of their evolutionary origin or biological function, many corals and other Anthozoa species have been identified that produce proteins that are very closely related to fluorescent proteins. These marine organisms are currently being mined for novel proteins in order to fill the gaps in fluorescent protein color palette and improve overall performance."

"text": "Education & Reference Primary & Secondary Education What are the PRIMARY,SECONDARY and INTERMEDIATE colors? Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A primary color is a color that cannot be created by mixing other colors in the gamut of a given color space. ( Red, Yellow, and Blue are the additive primary colors.) Primary colors may themselves be mixed to produce most of the colors in a given color space. ( In the printing industry, to produce the varying colors, apply the subtractive primaries yellow, cyan, and magenta together in varying amounts.) Mixing two primary colors produces what is generally called a secondary color red (●) + green (●) = yellow (●) red (●) + blue (●) = magenta (●) green (●) + blue (●) = cyan (●) cyan (●) + magenta (●) = blue (●) cyan (●) + yellow (●) = green (●) magenta (●) + yellow (●) = red (●) blue (●) + yellow (●) = green (●) blue (●) + red (●) = purple (●) yellow (●) + red (●) = orange (●) A tertiary color (or what you may be referring to as INTERMEDIATE) is a color made by mixing one primary color with one secondary color, in a given color space. Unlike primary and secondary colors, these are not represented by one firmly established name each, but the following examples include some of the most popular. blue (●) + green (●) = aquamarine (●) green (●) + yellow (●) = chartreuse (●) yellow (●) + orange (●) = marigold (●) orange (●) + red (●) = vermilion (●) red (●) + purple (●) = magenta (●) purple (●) + blue (●) = violet (●) red (●) + yellow (●) = orange (●) green (●) + yellow (●) = chartreuse (●) green (●) + cyan (●) = aquamarine (●) blue (●) + cyan (●) = azure (●) blue (●) + magenta (●) = violet (●) red (●) + magenta (●) = fuchsia (●) cyan (●) + blue (●) = azure (●) magenta (●) + red (●) = violet (●) magenta (●) + red (●) = fuchsia (●) yellow (●) + yellow (●) = orange (●) yellow (●) + green (●) = chartreuse (●) cyan (●) + green (●) = aquamarine (●)Source (s):http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_col...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_c...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertiary_co...

Blue and yellow don't always make green. Above is a primary mixing chart for Sennelier oil pastels. This was done with three sample pastels that I got as the Sennelier sample from Dick Blick. They are well chosen to create clean secondary colors. My scan isn't perfect, but you can see that a color chart made up of six individual sticks would look very different. My mixed purple leaned strongly toward the red at a fifty-fifty concentration -- the red's a stronger color. My green came out good and bright, leaning toward both yellow and blue evenly. My orange leaned toward red at fifty fifty."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Frits\"\" redirects here. For the given name, see Frits (given name). A frit is a ceramic composition that has been fused in a special fusing oven, quenched to form a glass, and granulated. Frits form an important part of the batches used in compounding enamels and ceramic glazes; the purpose of this pre-fusion is to render any soluble and/or toxic components insoluble by causing them to combine with silica and other added oxides. [ 1] However, not all glass that is fused and quenched in water is frit, as this method of cooling down very hot glass is also widely used in glass manufacture. According to the OED, the origin of the word \"\"frit\"\" dates back to 1662 and is \"\"a calcinated mixture of sand and fluxes ready to be melted in a crucible to make glass\"\". Nowadays, the unheated raw materials of glass making are more commonly called \"\"glass batch\"\". In antiquity, frit could be crushed to make pigments or shaped to create objects. It may also have served as an intermediate material in the manufacture of raw glass. The definition of frit tends to be variable and has proved a thorny issue for scholars."

Most people may not like excessively colorful clothes, but then colors by themselves are something that people can at least learn to love. Look around you. There’s color everywhere. From flowers in a garden to the birds flying in the skies, everything looks that much better in color. Colors however can be divided into three broad categories – primary, secondary and intermediate. People sadly however are only familiar with primary and secondary colors. To better understand color, it is important to gain knowledge on intermediate colors. Intermediate colors are those colors that are created when primary colors are mixed with secondary colors. Intermediate colors, depending on the way you look at them of course, are a lot more exciting than primary and secondary colors."

Projection of primary color lights on a white screen shows secondary colors where two overlap; the combination of all three of red, green, and blue in equal intensities makes white. Additive color mixing with CD covers The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue. The main purpose of the RGB color model is for the sensing, representation and display of images in electronic systems, such as televisions and computers, though it has also been used in conventional photography. Before the electronic age, the RGB color model already had a solid theory behind it, based in human perception of colors. RGB is a device-dependent color model: different devices detect or reproduce a given RGB value differently, since the color elements (such as phosphors or dyes) and their response to the individual R, G, and B levels vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, or even in the same device over time. Thus a RGB value does not define the same color across devices without some kind of color management."

Applying eye shadow: the basics There are two basic rules to follow when applying eye shadow. First: The eyeball is naturally darker towards the outside than the inside.

There are two types of color mixing: Additive and Subtractive. In both cases, there are three primary colors, three secondary colors (colors made from 2 of the three primary colors in equal amounts), and one tertiary color made from all three primary colors. This point is a common source of confusion, as there are different sets of primary colors depending on whether you are working with additive or subtractive mixing.

The standard red, green, and blue combine pairwise to produce the additive secondaries cyan, magenta, and yellow (which are also the subtractive primaries in theory, although actual pigments are likely not as intense). Combining all three primaries (center) produces white.

"text": "Coppicing willow and hazel February 21, 2012 by Monica Wilde comments 11Willow coppices Last weekend, mid February, I spent coppicing – cutting back my willow Salix spp. and hazel Corylus avellana. I have a large amount of willow, across several species, that I inherited in a rather poor condition. They were planted quite close to each other which is fine for coppicing but them not pruned back for some years. As a result they had grown spindly and weak (crowding out good trees like the Oak Quercus robur, Chestnut Castanea sativa and Maples Acer campestre) and the high winter winds in January were the final nail in the coffin, causing a lot of them to keel over completely. You don’t have to be gentle when cutting back willow. Unlike some of the other trees where I feel quite guilty even trimming off the lower branches, willow grows like a weed. Even a small piece dropped onto the ground will be a sizeable shrub in a year’s time!To plant a coppice all you need to do is to make cuttings from straight branches that you have cut before and push them into the ground in the early Spring around now. Cutting should be 18 to 30 cms long and 8 mm to 1 cm diameter. These are fine to get a good root structure going although I prefer the longer sections myself and have soft enough soil to push it three quarters of the way in."

"text": "Blueberries Overview Blueberries are members of the Ericaceae plant family and are one of only two commercially produced fruit crops that are native to North America. Close relatives of azaleas and rhododendrons, blueberries are also perennials that share the same acidic soil and climate requirements. Centuries ago, native Americans ate blueberries to treat stomach problems. There are five main varities of blueberries: Highbush ( Vaccinium corymbosm) – originated in the coastal forests of the eastern United States and were first domesticated in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Highbush blueberries are typically hardy in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 3 – 7. Lowbush ( Vaccinium angustifolium) – these are the wild blueberries that can be found in almost all areas of the United States. Rabbiteye ( Vaccinium ashei) – native to the coastal regions of the southeastern United States such as Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Half-High – hybrid varieties developed by crossing Highbush and Lowbush varieties. Southern Highbush – hybrid varieties that are the result of crosses between Highbush varieties from Michigan and New Jersey, with Rabbiteye varieties. They combine the high fruit quality of Highbush blueberries with the heat and disease tolerance of native Rabbiteye varieties."

"text": "\"Pets Dogs What effect does eating bluebells have on dogs? Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Hi Teresa, if you have dogs, keep the bluebells out of your lawn. Bluebells is toxic to dogs. Many of the houseplants including ferns, dieffenbachia, pothos, ivy, philodendron, and even poinsettias are very toxic to dogs. Corn plant, peace lilies and any of the ornamental tobacco plants can be very dangerous for both full-grown dogs and puppies. If you think that your dog may have consumed a poisonous or potentially poisonous plant immediately get them to the vet. Bring a small amount of the plant with you, including the leaf and the flower, to help with identification. Jason Homan Source (s):http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/Categor...

"text": "\"Walnuts and hickories produce the chemical juglone (5 hydroxy-1,4- napthoquinone), which is exuded from all parts of the plant. Download PDF Save For Later Print Articles The greatest concentration of juglone and hydroxyjuglone (a nontoxic, colorless precursor that is converted into the toxic form juglone by sensitive plants and through oxidation) is found in the vegetative buds, leaves, stems, nut hulls, and roots of the plants. Black walnut (Juglans nigra) and butternut (Juglans cinerea) are the landscape plants most recognized by gardeners as being problems for their other plants. However, English or Persian walnut (J. regia) and hickories (Carya) also produce juglone but to a lesser degree. The production of juglone is a protective response by the plant to assure its survival. Many plants (e.g., sugar maple, tree of heaven, hackberries, sycamore, cottonwood, black cherry, red oak, black locust, sassafras, fine fescue, and American elm) produce allelochemicals to enhance their survival and reproduction by inhibiting nearby competition. The most common symptoms of juglone sensitivity in landscape and garden plants is the yellowing and wilting of leaves, especially during the hot dry periods during the growing season, ultimately resulting in wilting and death of the plant. Juglone-induced wilting and wilting due to water stress are often confused. Wilting due to lack of water occurs slowly and can be reversed with watering. Juglone-induced wilting often occurs rapidly even when ample soil moisture is present."

Posted in Informational, Newsletter Tagged: Deer Resistant, Figs, gardening, perennials, Texas Perennials DEER IN CENTRAL TEXASOne of the great challenges of gardening here in central Texas is keeping the deer from turning a landscape into their evening salads. Deer are amazingly adaptable creatures and no one as of yet has come up with a foolproof method of keeping them from eating your landscape beyond high fences. There are steps one can take to help reduce the chances they will munch your flower beds, but no single step is “the” answer. First, don’t feed them. If deer become comfortable eating in your yard and food becomes scarce, your landscape is still in their comfort zone. If for some reason your neighbor feeds the deer or you wish to try something else as a next step, you can use a deer repellent. These repellents mimic either the strong fragrance or the foul tasting sap that we often find in plants that deer don’t like. We strongly recommend repellents for people who can’t live without plants that deer love i.e. roses. We also strongly recommend using repellents with any and all new plantings."

"text": "Landscaping Over Septic Drain Fields Prepared by George M. Dickert, Horticulture Extension Agent, Spartanburg County, Clemson University. New 03/10. Images added 4/15. HGIC 1726Printer Friendly Version (PDF)Many homeowners in South Carolina want to know what can be grown, if anything, over their septic drain field. As an increasing number of people move into rural areas throughout the state, this issue becomes more common. A septic system represents a significant investment, so some understanding of its workings will allow a homeowner to protect and care for his investment properly. Proper care and maintenance of the septic system will save time and money while protecting the environment. How a Septic Drain Field Functions Understanding how a septic system functions is essential to making sound decisions about how to best landscape over the drain field. A standard septic tank will separate solids from liquids. The liquid effluent, or wastewater, will then flow from the tank into a series of drain lines that allow the effluent to slowly percolate down through the soil in the drain field."

Master Perfumer Christine Nagel (right), creator of Wild Bluebell Cologne with Celine Roux, Global Product Developer for Jo Malone London Photo: HEATHCLIFF O'MALLEYBy Kate Colquhoun7:30AM BST 06 Oct 2011There is something about the shimmering haze of a carpet of wild bluebells that smacks quintessentially of England. Nothing quite matches that contrast of intense blue-violet in profusion with bright green leaf, those up-rolled tips, the dewy fleshiness of the plant and the ephemeral wateriness of their scent. Regularly voted among the nation’s favourite flowers, around half of the world’s population of English (or Wild) bluebells are found in the UK, making our bluebell woods internationally important. But they are threatened by habitat destruction, illegal collection, and the rise of the Spanish bluebell, an invasive species that hybridises easily with our native variety. Spanish bluebells are paler, do not droop or nod, and have little or no scent. English bluebell hardly figures on the perfumer’s shelves, partly because it’s distinct, minerally coolness is so elusive: even if the plants could legally be harvested, their scent cannot (like lily of the valley or lilac) be distilled naturally. Which means that the Wild Bluebell cologne to be launched this autumn by Jo Malone London is synthesised. But that doesn’t mean that it’s plastic. In fact, this clever scent – which combines sweet spiciness with cool air and rich earth – has plenty of natural elements including jasmine, briar rose (eglantine) and clove."

' The bluebell wood is one of nature' s fleeting yet unforgettable wonders,' writes Francine Raymond By Francine Raymond5:08PM BST 13 Apr 2012As a child, it was my dream to live in a bluebell wood. Where else would a fey little girl brought up on fairy tales of tiny woodland creatures gambolling in a sea of blue call home? And it seems I’m not alone: the bluebell has for years been voted the nation’s favourite flower. Pollinated by bumblebees that drown in a heady fragrance of nodding bells, spreading a mist of cobalt blue that hovers above a bed of bright lettuce green as far as the eye can see, the bluebell wood is one of nature’s fleeting yet unforgettable wonders. First described by Linnaeus in 1756, the English bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta has legendary connotations of its own: ringing bells that summoned the fairies who enchanted those who would wander into their ring. Even now, if you can turn a bell inside out without damage, you’ll dream of your own true love. Maybe it’s the bluebell’s toxicity that’s the origin of so many superstitions? Certainly it was used as a diuretic and contains similar alkaloids to compounds tested in the fight against cancer and HIV. The starch from its bulbs was used both by the Elizabethans to stiffen their ruffs and as a glue for ancient bookbinders – it is toxic to silver fish, the librarian’s bête noire."

"text": "I’m assuming that you aren’t munching at Aunt Minnie’s World of Ice Cream, which would obviously lead to diarrhea from lactose intolerance in 25% of Euro-Americans, but up to 75% of Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. Several other benign possibilities exist. If you have irritable bowel syndrome or have had your gallbladder discarded, the higher fat content of most restaurant meals (why did you suppose it tasted so good?) leads to diarrhea. In those with irritable bowel, the increased fat triggers the exaggerated gastro colonic reflex, causing the colon to generate propulsive waves and thus diarrhea. Stay put at the restaurant until the potty impulse occurs. Similarly, those without a gallbladder fail to generate a good bolus of bile to emulsify the fat, and enjoy their diarrhea via the post-cholecystectomy syndrome. Bacterial food poisoning symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea that come on within 48 hours of consuming contaminated food or drink and generally resolve quickly. Bacteria may invade the wall of the intestine, interfering with absorption of water and nutrients, or exude a toxin that directly causes the colon to release fluids. Be concerned if you’re immunocompromised (on chemotherapy, have an inflammatory bowel condition, are on steroids, have moderate to severe liver failure, or have HIV infection), have fevers, or have bloody diarrhea."

The current was just starting to ebb as I pulled up to the backside of Shinnecock East County Park on Long Island’s South Shore just prior to a mid-August sunrise. I grabbed my gear and hustled to the water’s edge, being careful not to take a spill on the small, uneven rocks. My offering was in the water for no more than five seconds before I felt the taps that I was expecting. With a flick of the wrist, my rod was bending. It was a double header – a tiny black sea bass and a 4-inch bergal. The sea bass went back, but the bergal was exactly what I was looking for and went in my bucket that was half-filled with water. I quickly attached new clam strips to my Sabiki rig and flipped it to the edge of the rocks. I instantly had a pair of bergals. The next try produced a much sharper tap followed by a lot of resistance when I set the hook."

Fish may be an anti-aging superfood, but eating the wrong kinds of fish too often can raise the level of mercury in your body. This is especially dangerous for pregnant and breastfeeding women because fetuses and newborns are very sensitive to mercury. Find out the best fish to eat and in what amounts. Mercury Concerns With Fish All fish contain trace amounts of mercury. For most people, the small amounts in fish do not pose a health problem. Some fish, however, contain high amounts of mercury—enough to damage a fetus or newborn. That is why pregnant and nursing mothers must be very careful about the amounts and types of fish they eat. Young children should also avoid eating fish high in mercury."

Side Effects of Ingesting Too Much Salt A macrobiotic lifestyle, which gained popularity in the 1970s, advocates eating and living in harmony with nature, thus promoting health and longevity. The macro – or macrobiotic – diet is one component of this lifestyle. It stresses consuming a diet of whole foods that are grown locally to develop greater happiness and better health. This holistic diet is mostly vegetarian and calls for organic food whenever possible. The use of microwaves or electricity for cooking is discouraged.1Establish whole grains as 50 to 60 percent of your macrobiotic diet. Whole grains are rich in B vitamins, which help convert food into energy and are essential for healthy skin, hair, blood and brain and nervous system functions. NYU Langone Medical Center recommends brown rice, barley, corn, millet, oats, rye, buckwheat and other whole grains as part of your daily macro diet, but the center discourages the consumption of refined products or those containing yeast or dairy.2Allow locally grown fresh vegetables to make up 25 to 30 percent of your diet. Good vegetable choices include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, carrots, cauliflower, kale, parsley, pumpkin, acorn squash and turnips. While celery, corn-on-the-cob, cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, mushrooms, romaine lettuce and string beans are allowed for occasional consumption, avoid vegetables such as asparagus, avocado, green peppers, potatoes, spinach, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, yams and zucchini.3Include beans and sea vegetables, such as kelp, nori, dulse, agar-agar and Irish moss, in your macrobiotic diet."

But it’s got to be fresh caught. “ Hours old” is the Blue Rule around some households, or they’re not to consider this fish for dinner, because its flavor gets oily. A great way to cook bluefish (and to avoid sticking) is to grill it in a foil packet. Heat a gas grill to medium, or light a charcoal fire and allow the coals to reduce to a gray ash. Coat the bluefish filet lightly with a mixture of mayo, mustard, and chopped fresh herbs such as thyme or savory, and then top it with thin slices of lemon. Wrap the prepared filet tightly in heavy duty aluminum foil and cook directly over the grill heat for between 5 and 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filet. One way to test for doneness without opening the package is to gently lift up the ends. If the filet gives sway, the fish is done. If it’s still not so flexible, it needs another minute or two."

Your body is not able to produce these fatty acids on its own, so it is necessary that you eat a diet rich in these crucial building blocks to maintain a healthy body. The two main essential fatty acids that need to be included in your diet are omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. How Do Essential Fatty Acids Aid the Body? Essential fatty acids have a ton of benefits on your body and its cells. They help with cellular development and the formation of healthy cell membranes, and they have actually been shown to block tumor formation in animals, as well as block the growth of human breast cancer cells. Essential fatty acids assist in the development and function of the brain and nervous system, and they help regulate proper thyroid and adrenal activity. They play a role in thinning your blood, which can prevent blood clots that lead to heart attacks and stroke. They also possess natural anti-inflammatory qualities that can relieve symptoms of both arthritis and other autoimmune system diseases. Essential fatty acids regulate blood pressure, immune responses and liver function, as well as help with blood clotting and breaking down cholesterol."

Most fish and seafood are safe to eat in pregnancy, but avoid those high in mercury, and raw seafood. Health Canada recommends eating 150 g of fish per week, especially those low in mercury and high in omega-3 fats. Fresh, raw seafood is potentially risky because it can contain parasites such as tapeworms. Tapeworms can make you ill and sap your body of the nutrients that you and your baby need. Health Canada recommends avoiding sushi during pregnancy, except for vegetarian or cooked sushi. Raw fish that has been smoked and canned, such as smoked salmon and mackerel in a can, is also safe for you to eat. If you enjoy raw oysters, mussels and other shellfish, you'll need to stop eating these during pregnancy. Raw shellfish may be contaminated with harmful bacteria and viruses that can cause food poisoning."

Top 10 Healthy Fish to Eat Fish Suitable for Eating Raw The Healthiest Ways to Eat Tuna Fish Along with salmon, herring, mackerel and sardines, tuna is particularly high in the essential omega-3 fatty acids. Each 3-ounce serving provides between 230 milligrams and 1,279 milligrams of Omega 3s, depending on the type of tuna you choose; recommended intake is 500 milligrams per day. Regularly consuming omega-3 fats helps lower your blood pressure and the risk for clogged arteries and heart disease. However, tuna can also be contaminated with mercury, meaning you shouldn't eat it every day. Light Tuna Canned light tuna contains the fewest omega-3s, but it is also the type of tuna that is typically lowest in mercury, with about 0.12 parts per million, according to the American Heart Association. Men can safely consume 14.5 ounces of light tuna per week, and women can consume 12.5 ounces per week -- unless they are pregnant in which case it is best to avoid eating tuna. The American Pregnancy Association recommends limiting chunk light tuna consumption to no more than 36 ounces per month. Albacore Tuna The tuna used to make canned albacore tuna are usually relatively large, and thus contain more mercury than canned chunk light tuna. Men should limit albacore consumption to no more than 5 ounces per week, and women who aren't pregnant should eat no more than 4 ounces per week."

But wait—it can also contain mercury and other potentially harmful contaminants. How are you supposed to balance those risks? Here's our answer to that and related questions. Q: What are the benefits of fish? A: Fish is the only food that directly supplies large amounts of the omega-3 fatty acids that have been shown to cut the risk of heart attack and stroke. Omega-3s may also elevate mood and help prevent certain cancers, cognitive decline, and eye disease. Most people can get enough by consuming fatty fish at least twice a week.

"text": "Surf Fishing Fishing in Ocean City MD Inshore Surf Fishing Surf Fishing the Delmarva Coast By Dale Timmons Surf fishing along the Delmarva coast generally begins in April, as migrating striped bass move out of the Chesapeake Bay and travel north to their summer grounds off New England. The spring striper run can last through May, with even a late straggler or two well into June. Most surf anglers target the stripers with cut bait, especially menhaden (bunker), spot or mullet. The bunker is usually available fresh, while spot and mullet are mostly frozen this time of year. Other good baits include peeler crabs, clams and sand fleas. For terminal tackle, most striper fishermen use a sliding sinker “fish finder” rig, although double hooked top and bottom (hi-lo) rigs also work well. The fish finder rig is generally tied with a short, four to six-inch leader in 80 to 130 lb. test and a hook in the 5/0 to 10/0 size range. Most anglers nowadays use circle or octopus circle hooks, especially if they are going to release their fish. The Mustad 39951BLN or 39954NP-BN and the Gamakatsu 208418 (8/0) are some favorites, although quality hooks by other manufacturers such as Owner or Eagle Claw work just as well."

Boa constrictors range from northern Mexico south through Central and South America. In South America the range splits along the Andes mountains. To the east of the Andes, B. constrictor is found as far south as northern Argentina. On the west side of the mountains, the range extends into Peru. Boa constrictors are also found on numerous islands off the Pacific coast and in the Caribbean. Islands included in the boa constrictor range are: the Lesser Antilles, Trinidad, Tobago, Dominica, and St. Lucia.

Like all squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes' paired organs appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung. Some species retain a pelvic girdle with a pair of vestigial claws on either side of the cloaca. The largest living snakes in the world, measured either by length or by weight, are various members of the boidae and pythonidae families. They include anacondas, pythons, and boa constrictors, which are all non-venomous constrictors.

A record 25 feet, 2 inch long, she weighs about 350 pounds (158.8 Kg). The title of biggest snake in the world in modern times, in terms of length has belonged to the reticulated python species, with Anacondas winning over when it comes to weight. However, none of them measure up to the prehistoric bus-sized monster recently discovered, now named as Titanoboa Cerrejonensis. Biggest Snake Species By Length - Reticulated Python Python Reticulatus or the reticulated python (the epithet originates from the intricate geometrical crisscross patterns on their hide) is the longest snake species in the world, with a length ranging from 15 to 25 feet. They are non-venomous giant snakes, who kill their prey by constriction. These pythons are excellent swimmers and are known to travel far and wide in search of prey. In the process, they have extended their dominion over many islands in southeast Asia. They prefer a tropical environment, with temperatures in the range of 80 to 90 degree Fahrenheit."

"text": "Snake Facts, Pictures, Habitat And Food By: Maria Saleem | 09 , Feb 2013 | Reptiles Ask/Tell About This Snake What are Snakes? Snakes are members of the animal kingdom and belong to the reptile class. Scientific evidence suggests that snakes evolved from lizards. As their unique characteristic, snakes lack legs, ears and eyelids. However, they have developed certain adaptations to help them carry out different processes of life. For instance, although their sight is not too sharp, snakes can locate their prey through their strong sense of smell. Interestingly, snakes use their forked tongues to smell. They detect particles in the air and can, therefore, sense the presence of a potential prey. This ability to sense the presence of prey through their tongues is very useful for snakes in an absence of a sense of hearing and a sharp sight. Moreover, the bodies of snakes are quite sensitive to the changes in vibrations of the ground on which they slither around."

Habitat: Brazilian Rainbow Boas are usually found in very humid tropical forests. They are ground dwelling, but can sometimes be found climbing on low branches. Description Description: Brazilian Rainbow boas are so called because of their distinctive iridescent sheen that you can see when their scales catch the light. This is very similar to the spectrum of colours you can see when petrol floats on water. Brazilian Rainbow boas are usually red with black markings, with the redness of the snake generally becoming more vibrant with age. Size: Brazilian Rainbow boas are a medium sized boa that have been known to reach up to 7ft, but it is more common for them to average at about 4.5- 5 ft. Life Span: 20 years is average for a Brazilian Rainbow Boa in captivity, but it is not uncommon for them to reach 25 years with appropriate care.

It was established as axiomatic in anthropological research by Franz Boas in the first few decades of the 20th century and later popularized by his students. Boas first articulated the idea in 1887: \"\"civilization is not something absolute, but ... is relative, and ... our ideas and conceptions are true only so far as our civilization goes\"\". [ 1] However, Boas did not coin the term. Neither did the 21st century relativist James Lawrence Wray-Miller. The first use of the term recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary was by philosopher and social theorist Alain Locke in 1924 to describe Robert Lowie 's \"\"extreme cultural relativism\"\", found in the latter's 1917 book Culture and Ethnology. [ 2] The term became common among anthropologists after Boas' death in 1942, to express their synthesis of a number of ideas Boas had developed. Boas believed that the sweep of cultures, to be found in connection with any sub species, is so vast and pervasive that there cannot be a relationship between cultures and races. [ 3] Cultural relativism involves specific epistemological and methodological claims. Whether or not these claims necessitate a specific ethical stance is a matter of debate."

Gatewood ]Original of paper given in a session entitled \"\"Themes, Memes, and Other Schemes: What Are the Units of Culture?\"\" ( Garry Chick, organizer) at the 27th Annual Meeting of the Society for Cross-Cultural Research, February 3-7, 1999, in Sante Fe, New Mexico. Published versions of this conference paper have now appeared: Ethnology, 35 (4): 293-303, 2000, and Cross-Cultural Research, 35 (2): 227-241, 2001. Abstract In many fields of inquiry, the analytical approach has proved to be remarkably successful -- note the foundational importance of the periodic chart for modern chemistry, the particulate theory of inheritance for evolutionary biology, and articulatory phonetics for historical linguistics. In these successful applications, researchers were able to identify units that are sufficiently stable through time and space to exhibit virtually homogeneous properties wherever postulated units are encountered. This way of understanding phenomena is familiar, powerful, and compelling, but not all scientific understanding builds upon discrete elemental units and their combinatorics. For example, much of physics has grown from a different set of intuitions based on continuous mathematics. So, what approach is appropriate for the study of human culture? Does culture have clearly identifiable, distributionally stable parts sufficient to justify the particulate mode of understanding? Is culture comprised of elemental units, or is it merely convenient to think this way?"

Boas (and python) families share a number of characteristics.including a vestigial pelvic girdle with hind limbs that are partially visible as a pair of spurs, one on either side of the vent. In males, these anal spurs may be larger than in females. Boas, however differ from the pythons by bone and dental differences in their skull. All species of pythons lay eggs and although most species of boas have live young, the following 3 species lay eggs:-Charina reinhardtii – Calabar Boa (Note that although this species is often called a” Calabar Python”, it is actually a boa!). Gongylophis muelleri – Saharan Sand Boa. E ryx jayakari – Arabian Sand Boa – NOTE THAT HATCHLINGS DO NOT HAVE AN EGG TOOTH. Boa Distribution Boas are found in Northern, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Southeastern Europe and Asia Minor, Northern, Central and East Africa, Madagascar and Reunion Island, the Arabian Peninsula, Central and southwestern Asia, India and Sri Lanka, the Moluccas and New Guinea through to Melanesia and Samoa. This is a much wider distribution than most people think!The Round Island Burrowing Boa ( Bolyeria multocarinata] is an extinct species which was endemic to Mauritius."

Her paychecks would go directly into the savings and there would always be enough to cover it. Since she’s stopped working, I’ve been transferring money from our checking account to cover the payments. Unfortunately, I forgot to transfer some money this month and the payment caused an overdraft fee to hit my savings account. I can’t stand fees and getting knocked with a $35 overdraft fee didn’t feel good at all!I was really close to just accepting the fee; I mean it was my mistake and all, right? Yes, that’s true. It was my own mistake, and in my four years of using the bank, I haven’t had any overdraft fees, so one isn’t too bad. That’s what I thought until I read chapter two of Ramit Sethi’s book I Will Teach You To Be Rich (No the book isn’t about getting rich quick – it’s about living a richer and fuller life by automating your finances.) Call it coincidence that my first overdraft fee occur the week before I read this chapter in his book; all I know is that it was perfect timing and his script worked. Ramit provided a script in chapter two (titled Beat the Banks) that walks you through the call to your bank to reverse overdraft fees."

The health of your blood is closely connected with your body’s immune system and ability to fight infections. Blood provides your body’s cells with oxygen and nutrition and removes waste and other unnecessary pollutants. Therefore, purifying your blood is important to keep your body functioning properly and help prevent infections and diseases. Advertisement Generally, keeping your liver and kidneys in good health are the best ways to cleanse your blood naturally. Your liver and kidneys perform vital functions in filtering toxins from the blood and keeping your blood clean. However, your intestines, lungs, and skin are also involved in eliminating waste products from your blood so it’s important to keep them healthy to help building a stronger, healthier blood. There are many factors which can cause a buildup of toxins in our bloodstream. For example, being exposed to more pollutants in the air, having a sedentary lifestyle, eating processed foods, taking certain medications, and using certain cosmetics and household products can all influence the health of your blood. You can help remove and flush out toxins from your blood by eating the right kind of foods and herbs."

Doctors are now touting colon therapy as an easy and effective colonoscopy preparation because they flush waste and pathogens out of your intestines prior to the procedure. After all, it’s often said that disease begins in your colon, and along with a healthy diet, colon cleansing is one of the best ways to keep your intestines (and the rest of your body) in tip-top shape. Why is your colon so critical for good health? Think of your colon as the waste management station of your body. All of the cells and tissues in your body – and your major organ of detoxification, the liver – rely upon a well-functioning colon so they can cleanse your body of toxins. Yes, waste products that are left over from digestion of the food you eat is sent to your colon to be safely excreted from your body, but also important nutrients and hormones are still being absorbed or manufactured there as well. When everything is working in an efficient manner, your colon would be not only handle the waste, it would alsoabsorb leftover nutrients (like water, electrolytes, and vitamins) from digested foods and send them back for your body to use.

"text": "A Liver Cleanse May Help Reduce These Symptomsby Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFMLast Updated on October 2, 2015Proper liver function is absolutely essential for a healthy body and improved digestion. The liver processes the blood from the digestive tract, removing toxins and other impurities before the blood cycles out to the rest of the body. The liver also produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder (which rests under the liver) and is essential for fat digestion. The two organs are jointly responsible for a well-balanced healthy body. Any irregularity, congestion or toxic buildup in the liver can leave you with symptoms of feeling far less than your best. Buildup of fats and toxins in the liver can be responsible for a whole host of symptoms that a liver cleanse may help. Liver problems can lead to a variety of unpleasant symptoms. You may start to notice one or more of the symptoms below if your liver becomes toxic, fibrous, fatty, or scarred. Symptoms of an unhealthy liver include: Running out of energy in the afternoon Inability to lose weight Mood swings Bursts of anger, mood disorders, or anxiety Bloating and gas Occasional headaches Brain Fog and lack of mental clarity Muscle aches and stiffness Bad breath or body odor Brown spots on your skin or age spots Bruising easily Jaundice, or skin and eyes that take on a yellow color Dark urine Pale-colored stool or bloody/tar-colored stool Constantly itchy skin Abdominal pain and swelling Poor digestion Nausea Chronic fatigue Another common problem is fatty liver disease, which often develops from the overindulgence or long-term use of alcohol.

Our food supply is full of chemicals and overly processed foods that your body doesn't know what to do with. The result - a slow down of your digestive tract, overload on the colon, back up of toxic wastes which are reabsorbed into your bloodstream. If the stress continues long enough, disease can result. Did you know that constipation, low energy, foggy thinking, poor resistance to infection, and skin problems are signs of an overloaded toxic digestive tract that needs cleansing? Start with effective herbal cleansing to rapidly clean out poisonous wastes, and then adopt lifestyle changes that will help keep the digestive tract clean and fully functioning. After cleansing, one is able to digest and absorb nutrients better and you will feel better nourished. Cleansing allows your body organs to function better, free from the constant stress of reabsorbed toxins. It enables the natural healing powers of the body to work.

Every year, Americans pay between $50 and $175 for a colon cleanse to improve their health through toxin removal, says Mayo Clinic. The recent popularity of colonic hydrotherapy is due to celebrity endorsements by Jennifer Aniston, Madonna, Gillian Mc Keith, and the late Princess Diana who had weekly treatments, reports the Daily Mail. The colonic cleanse first reached its height of popularity more than a century ago because of its alleged health benefits for the body. However, in 1919, the American Medical Association refuted the claims of colonic hydrotherapy as a treatment for autointoxication, ruling out toxins as the main cause of illness. While unproven claims resurface as colonic cleanses continue to rise in popularity, recent research suggests the side effects of a colon cleanse can be detrimental to your health and even lead to death.

Have you done any kind of cleanse or diet, and all the weight comes back in what feels like 2 weeks? Geez, all that work for nothing! On top of that, you end up weighing more than you did before you started the whole thing. How do you keep the weight off after completing a cleanse or diet? There are diets out there that deprive you of what your body needs, but how can you know what is good or not? It’s always important to do your research about what program you are interested in trying. Don’t only rely on one person’s point of view, ask around. One more thing, just because the company says their product is safe, natural, or effective, it doesn’t mean that it’s true. They often tell you what you want to hear, not what’s true."

Prolactin is a hormone the pituitary gland releases into the body, mainly to assist in the production of milk after childbirth. This is nature’s way of helping new mothers breastfeed their babies and this elevated prolactin is the reason why nursing mothers rarely become pregnant during breastfeeding, high prolactin level is a form of natural birth control for lactating mom. However, high prolactin levels in women that are not pregnant can prevent the pregnancy from occurring, because it can interfere with ovulation, thereby causing hormonal imbalance, irregular periods, amenorrhea (absent menses), fertility problems, anovulation which decreases the chances of getting pregnant and cause low progesterone. In some cases high prolactin can lead to galactorrhoea, meaning a woman will lactate without pregnant or lactating but not pregnant. The release of prolactin is suppress by dopamine in the brain and any reduction in dopamine will allow prolactin to rise and hinder Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormones (LH) which in result in menstrual dysfunction and ovulation is disrupted but once prolactin level is normalized it enhance ovulation to occur and conceiving. It is important to get high prolactin treatment and put all hormones in balance to increase your chances of getting pregnant. What Is Prolactin Prolactin is hormone secreted by the anterior pituitary that have different functions in both women and men and elevated prolactin hormones are referred to as Hyperproctinemia. Hyperprolactinemia is the medical term for high prolactin levels in the body. It affects fertility because high levels of prolactin interfere with normal ovulation and progesterone productsion."

This also means that they are able to withstand extreme dry weather and forage even in the snow. For this reason they are becoming more popularly sold for their meat or as breeding stock.

Myotonic goats are known by many names (Myotonic, Tennessee Fainting, Texas Meat, Texas Wooden Leg, etc). Despite the name “Fainting Goat”, Myotonic goats do not really faint. Due to a genetic muscle condition called myotonia congenital, when they are startled or overly excited, their muscles experience prolonged contractions causing them to stiffen (or freeze in place). If the goat loses its balance, it will fall over. Once their muscles relax, they jump up and are off again. It is also said that Myotonic goats were of great use to Shepherds. The Shepherds would keep fainting goats in with their flocks of sheep. When predators, such as wolves, would attack the sheep, the goats would become startled and faint. The sheep would run away while the wolves dined on the goats, hence, protecting the sheep."

"text": "The most critical part of any meat goat operation is the selection of a herd sire, a high quality buck can produce high quality offspring, even when mated with an average doe. Boer goats tend to gain weight at about the same rate as their sire, so a buck from a proven fast growing bloodline will command the highest price, as its offspring will tend to also be fast growers. The primary market for slaughter goats is at weights of 15–36 kg, kids should reach marketable size at weaning age. The kid of a proven fast-growing sire might weigh 36 kg at 90 days, while the kid of a poor quality sire might weigh only 15 kg at 90 days. An average quality buck will initially be less expensive to purchase, however they can significantly undermine an operation’s long-term profitability. Other criteria for a breeding buck include: Jaw alignment Most meat goats are raised on pasture. A goat with poor jaw alignment will be at a significant disadvantage when feeding on pasture; poor jaw alignment is not acceptable in a commercial herd sire. Good feet and legs Needed to move about the pasture. Hoof rot is a common problem for goats that live in high rain areas if the hooves are not clipped regularly. Testes Two well formed equal-size testes in a single scrotum: the main purpose of a buck is to breed does."

Goat meat or chevon, while not as popular as other types of meat such as beef, pork, or chicken, is actually a great tasting alternative meat if one is getting tired of the usual choices of meat typically available in the market. Goat meat can be cooked in various ways ranging from barbecued, fried, grilled, stewed, baked, curried, minced, and could be even canned or made into sausages as well as jerky. The following are some of the best goats for meat: 1. Kiko goat: originally from New Zealand and actually came into existence by crossbreeding dairy goats with feral goats. They are a fairly more recent breed as they were created during the 1980s. Its unusual sounding name is actually the Maori word for meat. Kiko goats have several traits that made them quite favorable to ranchers such as being low maintenance, quite resistant against parasites or at least a high tolerance against them, high growth rate, and most especially favorable for crossbreeding with other type of goats. It could also easily adapt and survive to almost any type of climate, even to cold ones. Aside from their meat, their milk tastes particularly good."

Currently, in the United States, there is a higher demand for goat meat, also called chevon, than there is a supply. Many ethnic groups who live in the United States - from Hispanic to Eastern European to Southeastern Asian - rely on the lean, tasty meat as a protein staple. Raising goats for meat involves a variety of decisions: choosing a breed, deciding on housing and fencing, and finding a market for your goat meat, to name a few. It also means providing your goats with proper food, forage, and health care. Choose a Meat Goat Breed When raising goats for meat production only, you'll want to consider mixed breed does and a full breed buck. Or, rent a buck so you don't have to maintain one on your farm. If you want to show your goats or if you want to produce registered stock to sell, you will want to consider maintaining your own buck. But if you're just starting out, consider starting with all does or wethers. Certain breeds, particularly Boer, have been developed with an eye toward meat production."

"text": "\"Feeding Boer Goats and Meat Goats The most economical way to feed Boer goats and other meat goats is to provide plenty of high quality pasture, feeding purchased feed only during winter and droughts when pastures are short. Proper feeding is important for keeping goats healthy and productive. The cost of the equipment and labor needed to harvest and store feed is high. The cost of buying feed from a feed store is even higher. Thus it is very important for meat goat producers to establish and maintain good quality pastures for their goats. If the quality of pastures is high, the producer will not need to buy expensive feed supplements. Goats on good quality pastures will also be healthier, and their kids will grow faster. If pasture quality is high, with plenty of high protein legumes, kids do not need to be creep fed. One can obtain a basic knowledge of goat nutrition from Dr. Steve Hart's \"\"Introduction to Goat Nutrition,\"\" available on the Langston University web site (.

"text": "Boer Goats for Beginners By: Gary Cutrer, Associate Editor, Ranch & Rural Living Magazine As Published In The November 1995 Issue (Vol. 77 No. 2)Q: What is a Boer goat? The Boer goat was developed in South Africa as a breed meant solely for meat production. The term “Boer” refers to the descendants of the Dutch immigrants, or Boers, most of them farmers, who settled the country; thus, “Boer” goat simply means “farmer’s” goat. Because of the intense selective breeding over the past 50 years or more by South African goat breeders, the Boer goat is considered far superior to any other goat for meat production. It is known for rapid weight gain and heavy muscling and has high fertility. Boer does typically give birth to twins. Q: What’s a Boer goat good for? Because the Boer was selectively improved for its meat production ability and its ability to pass on that trait to its offspring, along with other traits including pasture hardiness, the addition of a Boer buck to a commercial meat goat herd can improve the meat characteristics of the offspring without making them too “soft” to be pasture goats."

Sheep and goats were the first animals that humans domesticated, and they continue to be among the most popular livestock animals. If you look closely at sheep and goats, you'll notice their physical differences and be able to distinguish between the two. Sheep also have behavioral characteristics that set them apart from goats. Appearance Sheep have a thicker, fuller coat that needs to be sheared and is the source of wool. Goats can also be sheered to produce mohair and cashmere. Most goats have horns, but sheep do not. Sheep and goats have different mouths -- sheep have an upper lip with a division in it called a philtrum, but goats don't. Goats have tails that point upwards and sheep have tails that hang down.

This is the information I give to people who call or email about raising meat goats. Basic Truth: It isn't what you don't know that will get you; it is what you don't know that you need to know that will bite you in the butt every time. You aren't going to make any money for several years because of start-up costs like buying land and animals (goats and livestock guardian dogs) plus installing pens, fencing, waterers, and other infrastructure. This is true in any business. If you don't have enough money to survive for as long as three years without taking money out of the business, you aren't likely to be successful. What you least expect will derail your plans -- droughts, abortion storms, predator strikes, floods, cold and heat stress killing kids as well as adults -- just to name a few.

Genesis 1:24Goat Care Info on goats: Goats can be great pets. Goats also help cut back on the weeds but there is more to keeping goats then just putting them out in a pasture to eat weeds. Goats live to be 8-12 years old and sometimes longer. Goats are smart and can be trained to do tricks. Goats can be taught to walk on a leash and can be trained to do an agility or obstacle course just like a dog. I have trained some of my goats to do agility. I have trained them to do a balance beam, tunnel, teeter-totter, and a jump. It is very fun to show off your goat’s tricks to friends and family and I have heard of competitions where you can compete but I have yet to do this. There are many breeds of goats out there and just like dogs there are purebreds and mixed breeds."

"text": "All About A Doeling Goat Usually a female goat under one year of age is called a doeling goat. Different animals and birds are called by different name in different age and gender. For an example, baby turkeys are called a poult, baby fish is called a fry, baby goats are called kids or billies, adult female productive goats are called doe, a young male goat under one year of age is called buckling, adult male goats are called bucks and the goats both male and female under one year of age are called yearlings. The doeling goats are like this. The female goat who is under one year of age and sexually not active yet is called a doeling goat. Doeling goats are considered physically and emotionally immature but they are sexually capable of reproduction. Doe and doeling goats are different. Does are fully grown, sexually active and productive goats. One the other hand, doelings are under one year of age and sexually not active. Although the correct name for all female goats is doe."

She said, my dear don’t leave me all for another season, Though fortune does be pleasing I ‘ll go along with you, I’ll forsake friends and relations and bid this Irish nation, And to the bonny Bann banks forever I’ll bid adieu. He said, my dear don’t grieve or yet annoy my patience, You know I love you dearly the more I’m going away, I’m going to a foreign nation to purchase a plantation, To comfort us hereafter all in Amerika y. Then after a short while a fortune does be pleasing, T’will cause them for smile at our late going away, We’ll be happy as Queen Victoria, all in her greatest glory, We’ll be drinking wine and porter all in Amerika y. If you were in your bed lying and thinking on dying, The sight of the lovely Bann banks, your sorrow you’d give o’er, Or if were down one hour, down in yon shady bower, Pleasure would surround you, you’d think on death no more.

The beautiful brown cows were developed in the north-eastern part of Switzerland. Bones found in the ruins of Swiss lake dwellers date back to probably 4000 BC, and have some resemblance to the skeleton of today's Brown Swiss cow. A background of extreme terrain and weather has produced a cattle breed world renowned for many definitive characteristics. Today the Brown Swiss is the second largest dairy breed in the world with a reported over 8 million registered cattle and the world population estimated at over 14 million head. The Brown Swiss or Braunvieh is light brown in colour with a creamy white muzzle and dark noze, dark-blue eye pigmentation which helps the breed to resist extreme solar radiation (statistical data is available from tropical countries, based on practical experience). Brown Swiss cattle have been bred horned and polled, when horned the horns are short and white growing dark towards the top. Brown Swiss are robust, a prolific breeder, long-lived, strong, adaptable, and very well-balanced in build with good hooves and limbs. This breed has a double utility as they are used for dairy and beef purposes providing good milk and meat output. Milk producers throughout the world are adding Brown Swiss to their herds daily, because of the good milk, protein, and butter fat production."

Parish, Associate Extension/ Research Professor, and Dr. Justin D. Rhinehart, Assistant Extension Professor, Animal and Dairy Sciences. Published by the Mississippi State University. Energy Defined Protein, carbohydrates, and fats provide energy in beef cattle diets. Energy is often referred to as digestible energy, net energy for maintenance (NEm), net energy for gain (NEg), net energy for lactation (NEl), and total digestible nutrients (TDN). On forage and feed quality analysis test results, digestible energy in Mississippi beef cattle diets is most commonly expressed as TDN. When digestible energy becomes limiting in beef cattle diets, intake and animal performance can suffer. Signs of energy deficiency include lowered appetite, weight loss, poor growth, depressed reproductive performance, and reduced milk production. Providing adequate digestible energy in beef cattle diets is important for animal health and productivity as well as ranch profitability. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in beef cattle diets. Carbohydrates are either nonstructural (readily digested by all livestock) or structural (some are digested through fermentation that occurs in the rumen)."

I'd think that would be the doctor's/surgeon's first recommendation... You're not going to be able to do much of anything on that calf that would lead to hypertrophy while in a boot, but should have already started physiotherapy by this time. I'm surprised that after 3 months already in a boot, then coming out of the boot, you're going back in a boot? That just sounds strange, usually by about the 12 weeks mark of a reattached tendon you're about ready to go without the boot. Depending on severity and rehab I suppose. Were there complications with the surgery? Have you not been doing physio? It also sounds strange that you haven't already started a rehabilitation process. Usually they'll try to get you started with small ranges of motion fairly quickly (2 weeks post-op give or take, depending on what your physio/doctor say) to improve your recovery time and limit issues down the road. Your physio is someone you should consult until you're actually ready to train."

If you want to keep your skinny and straight-leg styling options open, skip a trip to the tailor and follow our handy guide to cuffing your pants. If you take your time to fold instead of making a sloppy roll, it’s a neater look than you think. For starters, pick pants with a slim or skinny fit.

"text": "\"Mechanisms of Enzyme action Enzymes are essential proteins that are found in all living cells. They have two main functions: 1) they act as catalysts ( a catalyst is a chemical which speeds up a chemical reaction ) 2) they control all the chemical reactions going on inside the cell. Every cell has many different enzymes. Each enzyme is specific : it only affects one particular chemical. This chemical that the enzyme alters is called the substrate. An enzyme can either break apart one substrate into two different products, or it can join two substrates into a single product. One example is shown below : Sucrase Sucrose -----------------> Glucose + Fructose Substrate Enzyme Product Product The reason that enzymes are specific is that each enzyme has an area called the \"\" active site \"\" that fits around the substrate. You can imagine the enzyme fitting the substrate like a key fitting a lock. In this diagram, the \"\"functional shape\"\" is the active site. One enzyme will therefore carry out one particular chemical reaction : for example lyases add or remove double bonds in molecules."

Continue supplemental feeding of bulls, cows, and calves. If small grain pasture is available, adjust supplemental feeding to requirements of cows. If a creep feeding program is desired, limit-feed a high protein (30-40%) supplement, such as recommended in the Oklahoma Silver program.

While some people prefer an athletic model that can take them from home to the gym, others want rugged outdoorsy footwear that can handle an array of terrain for simple to complex activities. However, when it comes to all day comfort needs, the field needs to be narrowed considerably. No longer are simple desires for a fashionable or even terrain-friendly shoe the main issue. When it comes to career needs, fit, function, and all day comfort and support trump fashion. Of course, very few of us want to wear shoes that either age or embarrass us simply to save our feet. It definitely helps put your chosen footwear over the top when it looks as good as it feels. But where do you find such marvels?

"text": "\"Cut calories by choosing boiled peanuts over dry-roasted varieties. You know peanuts pack a nutritious punch, but does it matter how they're prepared? It turns out yes -- there's actually a significant difference between boiled and dry-roasted peanuts in both calorie and nutrient content. Most of the peanuts lining supermarket shelves in the United States are the roasted variety, while boiled peanuts are more common in China. You can boil your own by simmering raw nuts in the shell for about an hour and a half. Calories If you're watching your girlish figure, boiled peanuts may be the way to go. At just 90 calories per 1-ounce serving, shelled, this snack fits easily into any healthy eating plan. In contrast, dry-roasted peanuts pack in 170 calories per ounce -- nearly double the energy of boiled peanuts. That said, a single serving of dry-roasted peanuts won't bust your diet. Most women need about 1,800 to 2,400 calories per day to maintain their weight, depending on their size, age and activity level -- so either snack is probably less than 10 percent of your daily calorie needs."

If you're new to these beautiful birds with big personalities, you might want to learn how to build a nesting box for your parakeet or what kind of birds can live with a parakeet, but the first thing you should know is what you can feed them. According to Animal World, these colorful birds have excellent eyesight and can live an average of 10 years in captivity and larger birds of this species may live up to 25 years. In order to keep your parakeet healthy and happy, the Association of Avian Veterinarians recommends that you feed your bird both specially prepared store bought mixes and a mixture of fresh fruit, vegetable and proteins. Fruits and Vegetables Fresh broccolicredit: James Trice/i Stock/Getty Images Vegetables play an important role in keeping your parakeet healthy. According to Old Farmers Almanac, fresh broccoli contains vitamins A, B, C, and calcium while spinach and alfalfa sprouts are rich in vitamin A, E and K. Other nutrient rich choices are carrots, zucchini, asparagus and potatoes. All of these vegetables are excellent choices in supplementing your parakeet's diet. Beauty of Birds recommends that parakeet should eat approximately ½ to ¾ cup of fresh fruits and vegetables every day. Some parakeet owners may opt to supplement their pet's diet with baby food made from all natural ingredients that contain vegetables. These are convenient if you do not have any of these fresh vegetables on hand, but your parakeet may prefer the fresh varieties."

"text": "How Much Protein Does 1 Egg Have?by NORMA DEVAULT Oct. 03, 2017Eggs sometimes get a bad reputation because of their cholesterol content and because they are among the most likely triggers of food allergies along with peanuts, fish, nuts, shellfish, milk and soybeans. But an egg also offers high nutrient value with 13 vitamins and minerals, high quality, easily digested protein, healthy unsaturated fats and antioxidants, all for fewer than 100 calories, according to Incredible Egg.org. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Nutrition Facts One large 2 oz. whole egg without the shell contains 6 g protein. Of this protein, 3 g is contained in the egg yolk and 3 g in the egg white. Additional nutritional information for one large egg without the shell, according to Kathleen Mahan in “Krause’s Food, Nutrition, & Diet Therapy,” includes 75 g water, 80 calories, 6 g fat, 274 mg cholesterol in the yolk, 1 g carbohydrate, 28 mg calcium, 90 mg phosphorus, 1 g iron, 65 mg potassium, 69 mg sodium, 55 mg zinc, 260 IU vitamin A, 0.04 mg thiamin, 0.15 mg riboflavin, a trace amount of niacin, 0 mg ascorbic acid and 24 mg folic acid. Protein Each large egg contains 6.3 grams of complete protein -- protein with a balanced amino acid profile, that provides each of the amino acids you need in your diet. Your body uses amino acids -- the nutrients obtained from protein -- as building blocks to build new proteins, cells and tissues. The protein in one egg provides 12 percent of the daily protein requirements for an average 135-pound person, and 9 percent for an average 180-pound person.

"text": "Nutritional Value of Buttered Toastby CARLY SCHUNA Oct. 03, 2017There are few comfort foods more soothing than a hot slice of buttered toast, which can liven up any breakfast or simply serve as a snack at any time during the day. Not all types of toast are nutritionally similar, however. To make the healthiest choice, go for a whole grain variety and limit the amount of butter you spread on when your bread pops out of the toaster. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Nutrition Facts A large slice of bread will offer a similar number of calories whether it’s made from refined white flour or whole grain flour, but the other nutrient components can be quite different. According to the USDA, a 38 g slice of white toast has 110 calories, 3.5 g protein, 1.5 g fat, 20.5 g carbohydrates, 1 g fiber and 1.8 g sugar. The same sized slice of whole wheat toast has 115 calories, 6 g protein, 1.5 g fat, 19.5 g carbohydrates, 3.5 g fiber and 2 g sugar. An equivalent slice of multigrain toast, which typically contains a variety of whole grains, has 110 calories, 5.5 g protein, 1.75 g fat, 18 g carbohydrates, 3 g fiber and 2.5 g sugar. A tablespoon of salted butter adds 100 calories and 11.5 g fat to a slice of toast. Composition The nutrients you’ll find in your slice of buttered toast largely depend on the bread’s ingredients. Since white bread is made with refined white flour, which has been stripped of the wheat’s bran and germ, it has less fiber and protein."

This simple liquid can be a great tool for pet owners in times of need. Adding a little bit of chicken broth to your dog’s food or water can help get him to eat or drink if he’s being picky. It is also a great way to help hydrate your dog if he is sick and refusing to drink. Homemade Chicken Broth for Dogs vs. Store Bought Chicken Stock Unfortunately, most chicken broths available at the grocery store are not very healthy for our dogs because they contain unnecessary additives. Your dog does not need MSG, extra sodium, or any form of garlic or onion which can be harmful to your pet’s red blood cells. Rather than reading label after label, why not make your own chicken broth? Making homemade chicken broth for your dog will ensure that you know every last ingredient that went into it. Ingredients: One whole chicken, cooked Two large carrots Two large potatoes Water Directions: Remove the skin from the chicken and cut it into pieces. Place it in a large stock pot."

These bite-size nutritional powerhouses are packed with heart-healthy fats, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Of course, you can get too much of these good things: Nuts are high in fat and calories, so while a handful can hold you over until dinner, a few more handfuls can ruin your appetite altogether. And although nuts are a healthy choice by themselves, they'll quickly become detrimental to any diet when paired with sugary or salty toppings or mixes. Here's a look at the pros and cons of different nuts, as well as the best and worst products on supermarket shelves today. Advertisement2 of 20Best nuts for your diet Almonds, Cashews, Pistachios All nuts are about equal in terms of calories per ounce, and in moderation, are all healthy additions to any diet. \"\" Their mix of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber will help you feel full and suppress your appetite,\"\" says Judy Caplan, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Try boiled peanuts. This Southern specialty (available widely in those states and at nutsonline.com) has up to four times the disease-fighting phyto-chemicals of its dry-roasted, oil-roasted, and raw peanuts counterparts, according to Alabama A&M University food scientists. Researchers say that when whole peanuts are boiled in water, the kernels may absorb antioxidants from the shell (it's removed early on in other processing methods); heat may also help release these powerful compounds.

Peanuts are packed with vitamins and nutrients and are a good source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. They provide many different health benefits, including the regulation of cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of heart disease, and promoting several functions to make your body more efficient like aiding in the conversion of food to energy. All Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts are picked from the ground, and boiled in the can in less than 24 hours. Our process does not allow drying in the sun, and since the green boiled peanuts are boiled in the can, we preserve all of the natural nutritional value of the peanut. In fact, the process of boiling peanuts draws antioxidants from the shells, therefore giving boiled peanuts four times the antioxidants of raw or roasted peanuts. Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces of most peanuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. In 2003, the Food and Drug Administration released a health claim recognizing peanuts in helping to maintain cholesterol.

Can you think of anything that tastes better than toasted hazelnuts? Toasted hazelnuts AND chocolate, of course! Don’t worry, I’ve got that one covered… Now, to make your hazelnut butter really nice and creamy, you’ll want to remove the skins from the nuts, because they are kind of dry, tough and fibrous. The best and easiest way to do that is to toast them in the oven on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a clean dish towel while they are still hot, wrap them up in a little bundle. Hold that package in one hand and, with the other hand, wiggle the nuts around so that they grind against each other."

Other beans or legumes like pinto and peanuts should be avoided. Hide Caption 5 of 8Photos: The pegan diet This vegan diet staple is a no-no in the pegan and paleo camps. Why? Research links the bean to disrupting hormones and it also tends to be genetically modified. Hide Caption 6 of 8Photos: The pegan diet As with most healthy diets, sugar should be viewed as a treat and used sparingly. Too much of the sweet stuff has been linked to obesity and disease so cutting back will do your body good. Hide Caption 7 of 8Photos: The pegan diet Shunned by vegan and paleo dieters alike, dairy has no place in the pegan eating plan, since many people have a hard time digesting it. Hide Caption 8 of 8Photos: The pegan diet Both vegan and paleo diets place an emphasis on plant-based foods, since they're a tremendous source of the vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to remain healthy.

"text": "\"Benefits Of Groundnut Groundnuts, also known as peanuts, are considered a very healthy snack. Groundnut is the member of the legume family and is native to regions like South America, Mexico and Central America. However, it is successfully grown in other parts of the world as well. The name of the plant combines the morpheme, ‘pea’ and ‘nut’. In the culinary sense, it is regarded as a nut, but in the botanical sense, the fruit of the plant is a woody legume. Since that is the case, the groundnut is actually a kind of pea. The groundnut is also known by different names like earthnuts, goobers, goober peas, pindas, jack nuts, pinders, manila nuts and monkey nuts. Throughout the world, they are known for their nutrition and health benefits. Peanuts or groundnuts are among the most common oil-seeds, since time immemorial. The nuts are rich with significant, beneficial nutrients that are essential for optimum health."

And while we’re cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs science-backed tips, sometimes it’s incredibly helpful to step back from all the studies and ask the pros one simple question: What do YOU eat every morning? So that's exactly what we did. We've got our healthy breakfast, but here 23 of the world's top health experts share their favorite way to fuel up, from classics like oatmeal, high-protein smoothies, and eggs, to more creative first meals that don't happen until noon.1. Barry Jay, Co-Founder of Barry’s Bootcamp@bootcampbarry In this past year, I've returned to being a vegan. My breakfasts tend to vary, depending on my mood. Typically it’s either oatmeal with natural almond or peanut butter, whole-grain bread with almond butter, or a protein shake consisting of almond milk, Plant Fusion protein powder, peanut butter, and banana.2. Mike Roussell, Ph. D., Nutrition Consultant and Author of 6 Pillars of Nutrition@mikeroussell My typical breakfast is a glass of plain kefir, scrambled eggs with spinach and feta cheese, and a side of prunes.3. Tony Horton, Celebrity Fitness Trainer and Creator of P90X@Tony_Horton I saute tomato, garlic, red onion, pepper, and balsamic vinegar in olive oil, and I serve this on toasted sprouted whole-grain bread topped with eggs over easy and avocado.4."

Let's talk about healthy boiled peanuts versus dry roasted peanuts. Peanuts are very nutritious, but there is a difference between the dry roasted and the boiled variety. For instance, if we look at calories, the dry roasted peanuts come out much ahead. And at 170 calories per ounce, the boiled peanut variety really beat the amount with only 90 calories per ounce. If you're trying to lose weight, you would then that you'd need less calories. So yo want to choose the boiled peanut variety. Another difference between the two is the fat content."

"text": "How to Lose Weight With Bolthouse Smoothiesby JILL CORLEONE, RDN, LD July 18, 2017Available in a variety of fruit combinations, Bolthouse Farms smoothies are a convenient way to up your fruit intake. And while the smoothies aren't necessarily a weight-loss drink, you can fit them into any healthy diet and exercise plan designed to help you lose those unwanted pounds. Consult your doctor or dietitian to help you design a plan that fits your specific diet and health needs. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Calories and Bolthouse Smoothies Bolthouse Farms smoothies are available in a variety of flavors, with varying calorie contents, ranging from 110 calories in an 8-ounce serving of Blueberry Banana Almondmilk to 160 calories in the same serving of Blue Goodness. It's important to know the calorie content of these smoothies when you're trying to lose weight. To lose unwanted pounds, you need to eat fewer calories than your body needs. One pound of fat contains 3,500 calories, and to lose 1/2 pound to 1 pound of fat a week you need to create a 250-calorie to 500-calorie daily deficit. That means the calories in your Bolthouse Farms smoothie must count toward your overall calorie intake, not be an addition to your diet. For example, if you're following a 1,500-calorie diet, the 160 calories in a 1-cup serving of Bolthouse Farms Blue Goodness provides a little more than 10 percent of your calorie intake. Lose Weight With Bolthouse Smoothies Because it is mostly juice, a Bolthouse Farms smoothie does not make a good meal replacement."

"text": "The Dangers of Drinking Cow’s Milkby Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFMLast Updated on October 14, 2015Due to the extreme processes that milk goes through and the high amounts of antibiotics, hormones, and genetically-modified substances that cows are continually exposed to, I believe there are real and eminent concerns associated with drinking milk from cows. All cows release toxins through their milk, as milk is a natural exit-portal for substances that the body cannot use. “Ingredients” Added to Cow’s Milk A Veritable Hormone Cocktail: including pituitary, steroid, hypothalamic, and thyroid hormones (remember most cows are extremely stressed)Gastrointestinal Peptides: Nerve and epidermal growth factors, and the growth inhibitors MDGI and MAFr BGH (Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone): a genetically engineered hormone directly linked to breast, colon and prostate cancer. This is injected into cows to increase milk production. [ 1]Pus: National averages show at least 322 million cell-counts of pus per glass! [ 2] This is well-above the human limit for pus-intake, and has been directly linked to paratuberculosis bacteria, as well as Crohn’s disease. The pus comes from infected udders on the cows known as mastitis. Blood Cells: The USDA allows up to 1.5 million white blood cells per milliliter of commonly-sold milk. [ 3] Yes, you are drinking cows blood in the milk and the USDA allows this!Antibiotics: Currently, cows are in such a state of disease and mistreatment that they are continually being injected with antibiotic medicines, and rubbed down with chemical-laden ointments to deal with their chronic infections. Currently, regulating committees only test for 4 of the 85 drugs in dairy cows."

"text": "\"December 13, 2012 By Karielyn 114 Comments Bolthouse Farms “Green Goodness” Fruit Smoothie As an introduction before you read any further, I would like to say that I am not promoting this beverage or discouraging anyone from buying and consuming Bolthouse Farms “Green Goodness” Fruit smoothies. This post is simply about my experience with them and sharing what I have learned since I first started buying them. I used to purchase the Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness Fruit Smoothies for my youngest son. He would drink them by the glassful and immediately ask for more. The reason I didn’t mind buying the Bolthouse Smoothies was because they were loaded with ingredients he wouldn’t regularly get from the other healthy beverages that he drinks throughout the day. Even though the Bolthouse Farms line has lots of flavors to choose from, my thoughts were that I’d rather get the one that gives me the biggest bang for my buck in terms of nutrition – which is why the only Bolthouse Smoothie I used to buy was the “Green Goodness” – for it’s “green” ingredients. Yes, they have the “Strawberry and Banana Fruit Smoothies” and other similar flavors which would certainly appeal to children and actually look quite delicious. But if my children are going to drink a store-bought fruit smoothie (a very rare occasion), I would rather them drink one that contains ingredients they wouldn’t typically get – like spirulina, chlorella, barley grass, wheatgrass, and blue green algae. I can basically make them a strawberry and banana smoothie at home. But this is a “green” drink."

How many carbohydrates are in a cup of carrot juice? One cup of raw homemade carrot juice contains roughly 15 grams of carbohydrates. This amount accounts for roughly five percent of the daily recommended allowance of carbohydrates. Raw carrot juice contains a lot of natural vegetable based sugar, where most of the carbohydrates are located. If you are interested in lowering the amount of carbohydrates per glass, then simply dilute the juice with mineral water. I personally totally reject the Atkins diet craze within the United States, therefor I do not count carbohydrates. I find that the best and healthiest lifestyle requires moderate and nonextreme dietary habits, along with lots of exercise.

I think Del Monte orange juice from fresh squeezed oranges will contain the most vitamin C. I think this because I believe fresher orange juice will contain more vitamin CMethods/Materials First, I made a test solution of water, cornstartch, and 2% iodine. Then, I combined 1 tablespoon of the soulution and 10 drops of orange juice into a test tube. I arranged the the tubes from lightest to darkest, lightest containing the most Vitamin CResults Minute Maid Original contained the most vitamin C. Bolthouse Farms came in second followed closely by Springfield High Pulp, Minute Maid Country Style, Fresh Navel Del Monte, Tropicana Concentrate, Fresh Navel Victor, Springfield No Pulp, and then came Tropicana Pure No Pulp. Conclusions/Discussion The answer to my questyion was Minute Maid Original. If I did this project again I would use the same test solution however, I would use different kinds of juices instead of just orange juice. This project was to determine the amount of vitamin C in different types of orange juice. Science Fair Project done By Blake L. Emberson Previous Next"

ADVERTISEMENTBut what’s the real deal behind baby carrots? After all, they don't really look like regular carrots. They’re perfectly shaped with rounded edges; they don’t have the same thick core; and, even peeled, they’re bright orange. But they are a vegetable, right? A quick Google search for baby carrots turns up some frightening \"\"information\"\" on how they’re made and whether they’re really “soaked in chlorine” to preserve that signature color and crunch.

"text": "Long-term Liabilities Long-term liabilities (also called non-current liabilities) are financial obligations of a company that are due after a year or more. Long-term liabilities are presented on a balance sheet of a company together with current liabilities which represent payments due within one year. Classification of liabilities into current and non-current is important because it helps users of the financial statements in assessing the financial strength of a business in both short-term and long-term. While information about current liabilities of a company (together with its current assets) provide vital information about liquidity of a company, long-term liabilities (together with non-current assets) are critical for assessment of its long-term solvency. Definition IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements provides a more technical definition of long-term liabilities. It defines non-current liabilities as liabilities other than current liabilities. Current liabilities are defined as liabilities that are expected to be settled within normal operating cycle, held for the purpose of trading, expected to be settled within 12 months OR for which the company does not have any unconditional right to defer payment. Long-term liabilities = liabilities - current liabilities Following is a list of some typical long-term liabilities: Bonds payable Loans payable Deferred tax liability Pensions payable Post-retirement healthcare obligation Finance lease payable Not all bonds payable or bank loans payable are long-term in nature. Bond and loan repayments that are due within a year are classified as current liabilities and the rest are reported as long-term. Bonds payable Companies raise money either (a) through issue of shares, which represent ownership stake in the company or (b) through issue of debt instruments, which represent a fixed amount to be repaid (together with interest) over a specified period of time in future."

"text": "NOTE 6 – Bonded Indebtedness Accounting for Early Extinguishments and Advance Refunding Governmental funds — When debt is extinguished in governmental funds, the proper recording of the extinguishment depends on the resources used to extinguish the debt. If the debt is extinguished with existing resources, record the payment as an expenditure ( debt service – payments for early extinguishment defeasance of bonds) in the fund making the payment. The old debt liability is eliminated from the general long-term liabilities. If the debt is extinguished using proceeds from new debt in a current refunding or advance refunding, report the proceeds as other financing sources ( bonds issued for refunding debt) in the fund receiving the proceeds. Record the debt payment as other financing uses ( payment to escrow for refunding debt) in the fund making the payment. The old debt liability is eliminated and replaced by the new debt in the general long-term liabilities. Proprietary funds — Current refunding and advance refunding resulting in defeasance of debt in proprietary funds is governed by GASB 23 and GASB 65. Refunding involves the issuance of new debt whose proceeds are used to repay previously issued debt. The proceeds may be used immediately for this purpose (a current refunding) or they may be placed with an escrow agent and invested until they are used to pay principal and interest on the old debt at a future time (an advance refunding). GASB 23 requires disclosure of the difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of the old debt."

"text": "What Are Long-Term Liabilities?written by: N Nayab•edited by: Linda Richter •updated: 3/6/2017Long-term liabilities are debt obligations that last longer than one year. The most common examples of long-term liabilities include bonds, bank loans, and leases. The category usually finds mention at the top half of the balance sheet. See the complete Bright Hub Guide to Balance Sheet Basics »Bank Loans and Mortgages Bank loans and mortgages are two common examples of long-term liabilities. By convention, the loan installments and mortgage payments made within 12 months count as current liability, and the outstanding debt or mortgage beyond 12 months as long-term liability. With the annual balloon-payment method of loan repayment, the balloon payments due within 12 months become current liability, and the rest long-term liability. For instance, for a loan of $2,000 plus interest repayable in equated monthly installments of $100 for 24 months, the installments of the first 12 months, that is $100 x 12 = $1,200, are current liability; and the remaining 12 installments of $1,200 are long-term liability. Image Credit: flickr.com/Ken Lund Bonds A bond is a formal contract to repay borrowed money at a later committed date and interest or coupons at fixed committed intervals. Companies issue bonds when the amount required is too large to obtain from a single lender and when approaching the equity market is not a feasible or preferred option. Governments also isue bonds, the US Treasury Bonds being the most common example."

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

"text": "Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load What are 'Noncurrent Liabilities'Noncurrent liabilities are long-term financial obligations listed on a company’s balance sheet that are not due within the present accounting year, such as long-term borrowing, bonds payable and long-term lease obligations. Investors are interested in a company's noncurrent liabilities because they want to see that it does not have too much debt relative to its cash flow. Current liabilities, which is the other major classification of liabilities, are those due within the present accounting year, such as accounts payable, customer advances, taxes payable and any payments due that year on a long-term loan. Next Up Total Liabilities Other Long-Term Liabilities Current Liabilities Other Current Liabilities BREAKING DOWN 'Noncurrent Liabilities'Noncurrent liabilities, also called long-term liabilities, are debts not anticipated to be extinguished within the 12 months following the date of the balance sheet. If an entity’s operating cycle is longer than 12 months, a noncurrent liability is an obligation not expected to be extinguished in one operating cycle. Debt that is due within the 12 months following the balance sheet may still be reported as a noncurrent liability. There must be an intent to refinance this debt, with a financial arrangement in process to restructure the obligation to a noncurrent nature. Examples of Noncurrent Liabilities The portion of a bond liability that will not be paid within the upcoming year is classified as a noncurrent liability. When reporting a capital lease as an asset on the balance sheet , as opposed to an operating lease on the income statement, payments due after one year are noncurrent liabilities. This is also true for any rent scenario."

Financial Statements: The System Financial Statements: Cash Flow Financial Statements: Earnings Financial Statements: Revenue Financial Statements: Working Capital Financial Statements: Long-Lived Assets Financial Statements: Long-Term Liabilities Financial Statements: Pension Plans Financial Statements: Conclusion By David Harper ( Contact David) Following from the preceding section focusing on long-term liabilities, this section focuses on a special long-term liability, the pension fund. For many companies, this is a very large liability and, for the most part, it is not captured on the balance sheet. We could say that pensions are a type of off-balance-sheet financing. Pension fund accounting is complicated and the footnotes are often torturous in length, but the good news is that you need to understand only a few basics in order to know the most important questions to ask about a company with a large pension fund. There are various sorts of pension plans, but here we review only a certain type: the defined benefit pension plan. With a defined benefit plan, an employee knows the terms of the benefit that he or she will receive upon retirement. The company is responsible for investing in a fund in order to meet its obligations to the employee, so the company bears the investment risk. On the other hand, in a defined contribution plan, a 401 (k), for example, the company probably makes contributions or matching contributions, but does not promise the future benefit to the employee. As such, the employee bears the investment risk."

Many companies own securities issued by other companies, such as stock shares (equity) or bonds (debt).

For accounting purposes (valuing and reporting), these securities are typically classified as either Marketable securities or Investment securities. Marketable Securities Marketable securities is the accounting term for securities purchased and held, which the company expects to convert into cash in the near term. Marketable securities are carried on the Balance Sheet as current assets, often in an account called Short term investments. Investment Securities Investment securities are securities which the company intends to hold either for the long term (more than a year) or for an indefinite period (e.g., until market conditions justify selling, or until the company achieves control objectives with the company that issued the securities).

More by Melody Gutierrez Prospect of taxes sours budget support, poll finds Jerry Brown says state must pay debt, new taxes on horizon Gov. Brown’s State of the State may have familiar tone The high debt and unfunded liabilities have resulted in the state’s rating lagging behind other states, Petek says. California saw its bond rating rise last year from A+ to AA-, the highest level the state has had in 14 years. Good bond ratings are a sign of a strong budget and financial management and allow states to pay lower interest rates when selling bonds. “Compared to other states, though, California has one of the lower ratings,” Petek said. And the reason is clear, he said. It’s California’s debt and liabilities that are concerning financial analysts, particularly the state’s rapidly growing unfunded retiree health care costs, which grew more than 80 percent over the past decade."

There are two main types of liabilities: current liabilities and long-term liabilities. Current liabilities A current liability is one the company expects to pay in the short term using assets noted on the present balance sheet. Typical current liabilities include accounts payable, salaries, taxes and deferred revenues (services or products yet to be delivered but for which money has already been received). On the financial statement, information about the solvency of a company can be determined through assessing its liabilities and its ability to settle those obligations. Long-term liabilities A long-term liability is one the company expects to pay over the course of more than one year. Long-term liability is usually formalized through paperwork that lists its terms such as the principal amount involved, its interest payments, and when it comes due. Typical long-term liabilities include bank loans, notes payable, bonds payable and mortgages.

Financial Statements: The System Financial Statements: Cash Flow Financial Statements: Earnings Financial Statements: Revenue Financial Statements: Working Capital Financial Statements: Long-Lived Assets Financial Statements: Long-Term Liabilities Financial Statements: Pension Plans Financial Statements: Conclusion By David Harper ( Contact David) Following from the preceding section focusing on long-term liabilities, this section focuses on a special long-term liability, the pension fund. For many companies, this is a very large liability and, for the most part, it is not captured on the balance sheet. We could say that pensions are a type of off-balance-sheet financing. Pension fund accounting is complicated and the footnotes are often torturous in length, but the good news is that you need to understand only a few basics in order to know the most important questions to ask about a company with a large pension fund. There are various sorts of pension plans, but here we review only a certain type: the defined benefit pension plan. With a defined benefit plan, an employee knows the terms of the benefit that he or she will receive upon retirement. The company is responsible for investing in a fund in order to meet its obligations to the employee, so the company bears the investment risk. On the other hand, in a defined contribution plan, a 401 (k), for example, the company probably makes contributions or matching contributions, but does not promise the future benefit to the employee. As such, the employee bears the investment risk."

"text": "The conversion feature of a convertible bond makes it attractive to investors. Public companies issue corporate bonds all the time, but not all bonds are the same. A convertible bond is one that you can convert into shares of stock at your discretion. This means that you'll be able to take advantage when the company's share price increases, as standard bondholders receive only interest payments as creditors of the company while, as a shareholder, you can potentially make a profit off the appreciation. Convertible Debt A company has several choices to finance its operations. It can use its own cash, issue shares to investors, borrow the money from a bank or borrow the money by issuing corporate bonds. A convertible bond is a hybrid security that appears on the company's balance sheet as debt but allows the bondholder to convert his bonds into shares any time before maturity. Because of this feature, a convertible bond sells at a premium to a standard corporate bond. Companies prefer to issue convertible bonds because bondholders are willing to accept lower interest rates. Balance Sheet A company's balance sheet shows a company's net worth at a point in time as reflected in the difference between the company's assets and liabilities."

Though it may look like it's written in a foreign language to many new investors, I'll help you decipher the code so that you'll be more confident in your own investment analysis. Let's begin with current liabilities. The current liabilities section of the balance sheet shows the debts a company owes that must be paid within one year. These debts are the opposite of current assets . Current liabilities include things such as short-term loans from banks including line of credit utilization, accounts payable balances, dividends and interest payable, bond maturity proceeds payable, consumer deposits, and reserves for taxes. Below are some of the most common and important current liabilities on the balance sheet. Accounts Payable: The Most Popular Current Liability Accounts payable is the opposite of accounts receivable. It arises when a company receives a product or service before it pays for it. Accounts payable, or A/P as it is often shorthanded, is one of the largest current liabilities a company will face because they are constantly ordering new products or paying wholesale vendors and suppliers for services or merchandise."

The idea is to use the First and Second laws to determine how much energy is needed at each point in the system and in what form that energy is. The accounting system keeps track of energy in, energy out, and non-useful energy versus work done, and transformations within the system. An energy balance diagram is used. Non-useful work is what is often responsible for environmental problems. Example: We wish to determine how much coal is needed to produce 1 k Wh of electricity. Assume the power plant is 33% efficient, with 85% of waste heat to cooling tower, and 15% to stack. Assume you can get 24 k J of energy from 1 gram of coal.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the physical effect. For self-maintained thermal homeostasis, see Endotherm. The term endothermic process describes a process or reaction in which the system absorbs energy from its surroundings; usually, but not always, in the form of heat. The term was coined by Marcellin Berthelot from the Greek roots endo-, derived from the word \"\"endon\"\" (ἔνδον) meaning \"\"within\"\" and the root \"\"therm\"\" (θερμ-) meaning \"\"hot.\"\" The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases, \"\"gives out\"\" energy in the form of heat. Thus in each term (endothermic & exothermic) the prefix refers to where heat goes as the reaction occurs, though in reality it only refers to where the energy goes, without necessarily being in the form of heat. All chemical reactions involve both the breaking of existing and the making of new chemical bonds. A reaction to break a bond always requires the input of energy and so such a process is always endothermic. When atoms come together to form new chemical bonds, the electrostatic forces bringing them together leave the bond with a large excess of energy (usually in the form of vibrations and rotations)."

On the opposite, if two atoms want to combine together in order to form a molecule, and not simply coliding and flying apart, these two atoms need to give off the excess energy.

This seems natural enough. But energy is actually a difficult idea because it is a mathematical abstraction which by definition always has the same value. No matter what happens, the amount of energy involved in an event is always the same after the event as it was before the event. In fact, the amount of energy in the entire universe is understood to be constant. Formally, this idea is called the First Law of Thermodynamics. We will use this law in order to understand and interpret our work in the lab. Simply put, all of the energy lost by one object plus all of the energy gained by another equals zero. A great discussion about the nature of energy comes from the Feynman Lectures on Physics."

Neither matter or energy is created or destroyed in a chemical reaction---only changed. There are so many chemical reactions that it is helpful to classify them into 4 general types which include the following: COMBINATION or SYNTHESIS REACTION: In a synthesis reaction two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex substance. Two or more reactants yielding one product is another way to identify a synthesis reaction. For example, simple hydrogen gas combined with simple oxygen gas can produce a more complex substance-----water! The chemical equation for this synthesis reaction looks like: 2H2 + O2 ----------------------> 2H2O S + O2 ---------> SO2 sulphur oxygen sulphur dioxide DECOMPOSITION REACTION: In a decomposition reaction a more complex substance breaks down into its more simple parts. One reactant yields 2 or more products. Basically, synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites."

A large number of reagents, both inorganic and organic, have been found to add to this functional group, and in this section we shall review many of these reactions. A majority of these reactions are exothermic, due to the fact that the C-C pi-bond is relatively weak (ca. 63 kcal/mole) relative to the sigma-bonds formed to the atoms or groups of the reagent. Remember, the bond energies of a molecule are the energies required to break (homolytically) all the covalent bonds in the molecule. Consequently, if the bond energies of the product molecules are greater than the bond energies of the reactants, the reaction will be exothermic. The following calculations for the addition of H-Br are typical. Note that by convention exothermic reactions have a negative heat of reaction.1. Addition of Strong Brønsted Acids As illustrated by the preceding general equation, strong Brønsted acids such as HCl, HBr, HI & H 2 SO 4, rapidly add to the C=C functional group of alkenes to give products in which new covalent bonds are formed to hydrogen and to the conjugate base of the acid.

"text": "Endothermic and Exothermic Reactions Written by tutor Oleg Y. All processes can be classified into one of two categories: exothermic and endothermic. In an exothermic process, energy is released, while in an endothermic process, energy is stored. This section will specifically cover exothermic and endothermic chemical reactions, but almost any process can be described as releasing or storing energy. The concept of giving off or storing energy can sometimes be a bit confusing, so let's go over some of the basic types of energy that you'll encounter in your chemistry class, and what it means to give off and store each type of energy. Heat: Heat energy is the energy that accompanies temperature changes. If heat energy is being released then the reaction from which it is released will become hotter. If heat energy is being stored, then reaction will become colder. Light: If light energy is being given off, then the reaction will glow. If it's being stored, then the reaction will seemingly proceed on its own without any catalyst present without any heat being evolved or absorbed. Mechanical energy: If mechanical energy is being stored, then the volume and/or pressure of the reaction will get smaller."

"text": "\"1 Thermochemical equations and standard states In order to define the thermochemical properties of a process, it is first necessary to write a thermochemical equation that defines the actual change taking place, both in terms of the formulas of the substances involved and their physical states (temperature, pressure, and whether solid, liquid, or gaseous.video on Thermochemical equations (Brightstorm2, 3 min)To take a very simple example, here is the complete thermochemical equation for the vaporization of water at its normal boiling point: H 2 O (l, 373 K, 1 atm) → H 2 O (g, 373 K, 1 atm) Δ H = 40.7 k J mol –1The quantity 40.7 is known as the enthalpy of vaporization (often referred to as “heat of vaporization”) of liquid water. The following points should be kept in mind when writing thermochemical equations:• Any thermodynamic quantity such as ΔH that is associated with a thermochemical equation always refers to the number of moles of substances explicitly shown in the equation. Thus for the synthesis of water we can write2 H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) → 2 H 2 O (l) Δ H = –572 k Jor H 2 (g) + ½ O 2 (g) → H 2 O (l) Δ H = –286 k J• Thermochemical equations for reactions taking place in solution must also specify the concentrations of the dissolved species. For example, the enthalpy of neutralization of a strong acid by a strong base is given by H + ( aq, 1M, 298 K, 1 atm) + OH – ( aq, 1M, 298 K, 1 atm) → H 2 O ( l, 373 K, 1 atm) Δ H = —56.9 k J mol –1in which the abbreviation aq refers to the hydrated ions as they exist in aqueous solution. Since most thermochemical equations are written for the standard conditions of 298 K and 1 atm pressure, we can leave these quantities out if these conditions apply both before and after the reaction. If, under these same conditions, the substance is in its preferred (most stable) physical state, then the substance is said to be in its standard state. Thus the standard state of water at 1 atm is the solid below 0°C, and the gas above 100°C. A thermochemical quantity such as Δ H that refers to reactants and products in their standard states is denoted by ΔH°.• In the case of dissolved substances, the standard state of a solute is that in which the “effective concentration”, known as the activity, is unity. For non-ionic solutes the activity and molarity are usually about the same for concentrations up to about 1M, but for an ionic solute this approximation is generally valid only for solutions more dilute than 0.001-0.01M, depending on electric charge and size of the particular ion.2 Standard enthalpy of formation The enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is the differenceΔ H = H products– H reactants If the reaction in question represents the formation of one mole of the compound from its elements in their standard states, as in H 2 (g) + ½ O 2 (g) → H 2 O (l) Δ H = –286 k Jthen we can arbitrarily set the enthalpy of the elements to zero and write H f° = Σ H f° products– Σ H f° reactants = –286 k J – 0 = –268 k J mol –1which defines the standard enthalpy of formation of water at 298K. The value H f ° = –268 k J tells us that when hydrogen and oxygen, each at a pressure of 1 atm and at 298 K (25° C) react to form 1 mole of liquid water also at 25°C and 1 atm pressure, 268 k J will have passed from the sytstem (the reaction mixture) into the surroundings. The negative sign indicates that the reaction is exothermic: the enthalpy of the product is smaller than that of the reactants."

Melting and dissolution are two very different physicochemical processes: for one thing, melting is a pure-component equilibrium between the solid phase and liquid phase of the same component, while dissolution involves a solid and a solvent, which is a different chemical compounds.

The carbon atom of this group has two remaining bonds that may be occupied by hydrogen or alkyl or aryl substituents. If at least one of these substituents is hydrogen, the compound is an aldehyde. If neither is hydrogen, the compound is a ketone. The IUPAC system of nomenclature assigns a characteristic suffix to these classes, al to aldehydes and one to ketones. For example, H 2 C=O is methan al, more commonly called formaldehyde. Since an aldehyde carbonyl group must always lie at the end of a carbon chain, it is by default position #1, and therefore defines the numbering direction. A ketone carbonyl function may be located anywhere within a chain or ring, and its position is given by a locator number. Chain numbering normally starts from the end nearest the carbonyl group. In cyclic ketones the carbonyl group is assigned position #1, and this number is not cited in the name, unless more than one carbonyl group is present."

By definition, the combustion reactions are always particularly exothermic and so enthalpies of combustion are always negative, although the values for individual combustions may vary. The most common way of calculating the enthalpy change of combustion (or formation) is by using a Hess cycle or by using numerical based bond enthalpies. It is commonly denoted as or. When the enthalpy required is not a combustion, it can be denoted as. Enthalpies of combustion are typically measured using bomb calorimetry, and have units of energy (typically k J); strictly speaking, the enthalpy change per mole of substance combusted is the standard molar enthalpy of combustion (which typically would have units of k J mol −1 ).

For instance, the standard enthalpy change of Methane (CH 4) is -890.3 k J mol −1, whereas the standard enthalpy change Hexane (C 6 H 14) is -4163.0 k J mol −1.

"text": "\"Investing for Beginners Personal Finance Payable on Death Accounts Can Increase FDIC Insurance Getting Around the $250,000 Limits Is Easier Than You Think Share Flip Pin Email•••By Joshua Kennon Updated December 11, 2017With the FDIC maintaining the $250,000 coverage limits on deposits held at a single financial institution, some retirees are having a hard time protecting all of their assets. That $250,000 limit includes everything - savings accounts, checking accounts, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts (which are different from the non-FDIC insured money market mutual funds ). Still, with one easy-to-use trick, you can increase your total coverage limits to at least $1,250,000 by using something known as \"\"payable on death\"\" designations. In essence, when you designate a bank account as payable on death, the person whom you've named is not entitled to any of the money until you pass away. When you do, however, they suddenly become the owner of the account. It bypasses your estate and is even more powerful than your last will and testament. It is a type of revocable trust in that there is someone else who has a beneficiary interest in the account. That is the reason that these types of accounts are often referred to as the \"\"poor man's trust fund\"\". For virtually no paperwork and free cost, they achieve many of the same net effects of a basic trust fund. The assets in the account get to skip probate entirely!Because of that beneficiary interest, the FDIC currently allows you to cover as much as $1,250,000 at a single financial institution by designating up to five (5) payable on death beneficiaries, none of whom can be covered for more than $250,000."

Overview and History of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Share Flip Pin Email•••By Justin Pritchard Updated January 09, 2018The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a government agency designed to protect consumers and the U. S. financial system. The FDIC is best known for deposit insurance, which helps customers avoid losses when a bank fails, but the agency has other duties as well. Deposit Insurance When you deposit funds with a bank, you probably assume the money is safe. It’s hard for somebody to steal it, it won’t be destroyed if your house burns down, and banks have security systems and backup plans that are virtually impossible for any individual to arrange. However, banks invest deposits to earn revenue, which explains how your bank pays interest on savings accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), and other products. Those investments include loans to other customers and other, more complex, investments. Banks typically invest conservatively, but any investment can lose money. If a bank’s investments lose too much, the institution may be unable satisfy the demands of customers who want to use their money deposited at the bank. When that happens, the bank fails."

Whether you have an online bank or use the bank in your town, you share a common thread with almost every account holder in America. The bottom line is that you want your money to be safe. Obviously safety and insurance are important when it comes to the money in your bank. That’s why FDIC insurance was created. But what about credit unions, do they have the same protection as banks? It might surprise you, but credit unions don’t use FDIC. They use a form of insurance provided by the NCUA. So what’s the difference? Is FDIC safer than NCUA?"

"text": "FDIC Insurance What does FDIC deposit insurance cover? FDIC insurance covers all types of deposits received at an insured bank, including deposits in a checking account, negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) account, savings account, money market deposit account (MMDA) or time deposit such as a certificate of deposit (CD). FDIC insurance covers depositors' accounts at each insured bank, dollar-for-dollar, including principal and any accrued interest through the date of the insured bank's closing, up to the insurance limit. The FDIC does not insure money invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities or municipal securities, even if these investments are purchased at an insured bank. The FDIC does not insure safe deposit boxes or their contents. The FDIC does not insure U. S. Treasury bills, bonds or notes, but these investments are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. How much insurance coverage does the FDIC provide? The standard maximum deposit insurance amount is $250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category. The FDIC insures deposits that a person holds in one insured bank separately from any deposits that the person owns in another separately chartered insured bank. For instance, if a person has a checking account at Bank A and has a checking account at Bank B, the accounts would each be insured separately up to $250,000."

"text": "US Economy Economic Terms Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Limits, Members, Effect on Economy Share Flip Pin Email•••By Kimberly Amadeo Updated February 26, 2018The FDIC is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. It is an independent agency of the federal government. The U. S. Congress does not appropriate funds. Instead, the FDIC is funded by premiums from banks. It also earns interest on its investments in U. S. Treasury bonds. The FDIC was created by the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act. Its goal was to prevent bank failures during the Great Depression. A few bank failures had snowballed into a banking panic. Depositors demanded their money back. Even sound banks usually only keep one-tenth of their deposits on hand."

"text": "\"October 15, 2008 Estate Planning New FDIC Rules: Are You Protected? With the rash of bank failures, you may wonder whether - and to what extent - the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) will protect your bank accounts. Fortunately, new rules from the FDIC clarify how you can ensure maximum FDIC insurance coverage. You may need to modify your planning slightly to take advantage of these new rules. FDIC The FDIC is an independent federal agency that ensures the availability of deposited funds after a bank failure. Created in 1933 after a run on banks left many account owners penniless, the FDIC promotes public confidence and stability in the nation's banking system by insuring your deposits at any FDIC-insured institution. Planning Tip: FDIC-insured institutions include most banks and savings associations located in the United States. It does not include brokerage firms. Until very recently, the FDIC insured up to $100,000 for each account beneficiary. Beginning October 3, 2008, the FDIC temporarily increased coverage to $250,000 per beneficiary."

The Legal Lowdown FDIC Deposit Insurance Coverage The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent agency of the United States government that protects against the loss of insured deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC deposit insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. Since the FDIC was established, no depositor has ever lost a single penny of FDIC insured funds. FDIC insurance covers funds in deposit accounts, including checking and savings accounts, money market deposit accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs). FDIC insurance does not, however, cover other financial products and services that insured banks may offer, such as stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares, life insurance policies, annuities or municipal securities. There is no need for depositors to apply for FDIC insurance or even to request it. Coverage is automatic. To ensure funds are fully protected, depositors should understand their deposit insurance coverage limits. The FDIC provides separate insurance coverage for deposits held in different ownership categories such as single accounts, joint accounts, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and trust accounts."

"text": "\" (Page 2 of 2 of FDIC Insurance: How Safe Is Your Money? ) By Monica Steinisch Currently, the basic FDIC insurance limit is $250,000 per depositor (account holder), per insured bank. This amount includes principal and accrued interest through the bank's closing date. Note that coverage is calculated \"\"per bank,\"\" not per account. That means that the insurance limits are applied to the combined balances of all accounts held by a depositor at a single bank. Not only that, but a single bank includes all of its branches and its Internet division, even if it does business under a different name. Accounts held at separately chartered banks are insured separately. However, it's possible to have more than $250,000 fully insured with a single bank, if your money is strategically divided among the different categories of account ownership. As long as you stay under the limit for each ownership category, you can safely keep much more than $250,000 in one bank. These are the four most common categories of ownership: Single Accounts These are accounts in only one person's name."

No, it's not another round of stimulus checks for those of you who have been hoping and waiting with bated breath, but rather, it pertains to the FDIC insurance that guarantees the safety and security of bank deposits. The current increased FDIC insurance limits of $250,000 were scheduled to be rolled back to the previous $100,000 limits on the last day of 2009. However just recently, Congress voted to extend the deadline for four more years - through December 31, 2013. Those of us who have significant amounts of money in the bank or sizable funds invested into long term certificates of deposit ( CD rates) undoubtedly have been nervously eyeing the impending December 31 expiration date of the $250,000 threshold. Thus this news ought to come as a tremendous welcomed relief. Those of us who have been considering renewing our certificates of deposit can now consider maturities with a longer time horizon without fear of falling outside of federally protected limits. Avoid Banks That Are Not FDIC Insured, Or Credit Unions That Are Not NCUA Protected As many of you may know, if you have money in a bank account, your bank deposits are generally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to the maximum current limit of $250,000. Similarly, if you have money saved in a credit union account, your deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for the same amount as well. As federal government run entities, the two organizations jointly share in the responsibility of���� insuring and regulating the stability & financial health of our nation's banks and credit unions."

The roles of this tissue include support, binding, cushioning, and storage of nutrients. This tissue contains a blood supply, has nerve endings, and repairs body organs. While connective tissues vary widely in structure there are three common characteristics: A. All connective tissue has an extracellular matrix, cells and fibers are held in place by this ground substance that varies from semi-fluid to solid. The matrix is related to the function of each tissue type. For example, bone has a solid calcium matrix for support. B. All connective tissues contain protein fibers. The most common fiber type is made of the protein collagen; collagen fibers are flexible and strong. Another fiber type contains the protein elastin; elastic fibers allow stretching or expansion and recoil which is necessary for major blood vessels or the lungs."

Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction. Exceptions to this are the action of cilia, the flagellum on sperm cells, and amoeboid movement of some white blood cells. The integrated action of joints, bones, and skeletal muscles produces obvious movements such as walking and running. Skeletal muscles also produce more subtle movements that result in various facial expressions, eye movements, and respiration. In addition to movement, muscle contraction also fulfills some other important functions in the body, such as posture, joint stability, and heat production."

While I firmly believe that regular use of whole food supplements can ensure optimal health, I also believe that your primary source of natural vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients and macronutrients should be fresh, whole foods (locally grown, whenever possible). What follows is a list of all of the major vitamins and minerals that you need to be at your best, as well as common healthy foods that are naturally rich in each vitamin and mineral. If your health research leads you to believe that you need to consume more of any particular vitamin or mineral, before you turn to whole food supplements, I encourage you to focus on eating more whole foods that are rich in the vitamins and/or minerals that you need. Vitamin AVitamin A is needed for night vision, healthy skin, proper digestion of protein, healthy mucosal linings, and a healthy immune system. Healthy foods that contain vitamin A include: organic beef liver, cod liver oil, organic eggs, and organic butter. Vitamin A can also be obtained from beta carotene, which is found in a variety of plants, including spinach, watercress, carrots, sweet potatoes, goji berries, and cantaloupe. Vitamin B1 - Thiamine Vitamin B1 is needed for proper brain function (especially memory) and energy production.

"text": "4 Critical Organs That Make Up Your Immune System & Prevent Diseases October 18, 2012 by admin in Health News with 5 Comments It goes without saying that we live in a world full of germs, bacteria, and diseases which are present in our immediate surroundings and that we encounter in our daily lives. From the dirt we encounter to the different forms of pollution we live with to virus-carrying and bacteria-spreading agents such as insects that go by without notice, the probability of coming into contact with something unhealthy for you is almost always a constant. It is then a great wonder that, despite all of these opportunities for sickness and illness in our lives, our bodies are able to naturally remain relatively healthy and well guarded against such diseases, able to fight back even when we become infected with viruses and bacteria. If you’re wondering how all of this is possible, you don’t have to look far for the reason why we can stay so healthy despite being in the presence of so much un-health; all you need to do is look in a mirror and see your own body. Each of our bodies contains an immune system , a sort of natural defensive mechanism our bodies have that protects us from external and internal factors that might compromise our health. The immune system is made up of a structure of organs that work together in order to keep our body as healthy as it can be, including lymph nodes, bone marrow, thymus, and the spleen. Lymph Nodes A lymph node is an organ that looks like a bean and measures anywhere from 1 to 2 centimeters. It mainly contains numerous cells that are essential to supporting your immune system. These cells are white blood cells whose main purpose is to act as the defenders of your body against any possible bacteria or pathogen that might harm it. In these white blood cells you can find lymphocytes and macrophages."

Occasionally an emergency requires an organ to be transplanted from one place to another withinthe body. Kidneys, for example, have been relocated to enable them to continue functioning afterthe ureters have been damaged. Transplantation of an organ within the body, known as autotransplantation or an autologous graft, requires delicate surgery but otherwise poses no particular problem. Eye surgeons have developed the procedure called corneal transplantation or keratoplasty, in whichpart or all of a diseased cornea that has become opaque is removed and replaced by healthycorneal tissue from an eye bank. Cartilage and bone are other tissues that are not difficult to transplant from one individual to another."

Learning Objectives Explain the purpose of the musculoskeletal system Key Takeaways Key Points The musculoskeletal system ‘s primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion, and protecting vital organs. The musculoskeletal system is made up of the body’s bones (the skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue that support and bind tissues and organs together. The skeleton serves as the main storage system for calcium and phosphorus. The skeleton also contains critical components of the hematopoietic ( blood production) system and fat storage. These functions occur in red marrow and yellow marrow, respectively. To allow motion, different bones are connected by articulating joints. Cartilage prevents the bone ends from rubbing directly on to each other while the muscles contract to move the bones associated with the joint. Key Termsred marrow: Red marrow or medulla ossium rubra, consists mainly of hematopoietic tissue, and gives rise to red blood cells (RBCs), platelets and most white blood cells (WBCs).musculoskeletal system: An organ system that gives animals (and humans) the ability to move, using the combined actions of the muscular and skeletal systems. It provides form, support, stability, and movement to the body.hematopoeisis: A biological process in which new blood cells are formed from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) within the marrow."

While not all pet experts agree on this topic, most veterinary health professionals can tell you plenty of bone-related horror stories. The longtime assumption that bones are appropriate canine treats is off track. First of all, cooked bones are NEVER appropriate. Raw bones, on the other hand, are a subject of debate because they are softer and potentially more digestible. However, raw bones are not without risk. The Dangers of Bones for Dogs Take a look at the following potential complications associated with bones and dogs. These problems can occur in dogs after eating bones, even if they are raw bones.

It’s also commonly accepted that it is safe and even healthy to chuck leftover bones to your dog, regardless of size or type. After all, dogs in the wild have always eaten every part of their prey including bones, seemingly without issues. On top of that, wild dogs tend to have beautifully healthy teeth and gums as a result. But it is really safe to feed any bones to your dog? The answer to this question is no and yes. It really all depends on the bone. Although some will claim that any bone, regardless of type or size, is unsafe for dogs and significantly increases their chances of choking or ending up at the vet, other veterinarians will tell you otherwise. The level of safety, when it comes to chew bones, lies not only in size but also in whether or not the bone has been cooked."

"text": "\"Some dog owners are surprised to learn some bones are safe for dogs to eat -- others surprised to find some aren't. The fact is, raw bones are generally fine, including raw pork bones. But cooked bones of any kind are strictly off-limits. Feeding Raw Bones The reason dogs should never eat cooked bones is because they can splinter -- whether boiled or fried or baked or barbecued -- in your dog's throat or stomach, choking him or causing severe internal injuries. Raw bones, however, are safe for dogs. While some owners worry about salmonella and other bacterial infections, dogs are much less likely to get these infections because of their highly acidic digestive system. Feral dogs and wolves frequently eat the bones of their prey. Veterinarians such as Ian Billinghurst argue that the healthiest diet for dogs is the one their ancestors ate: fresh, raw meat. How to Feed The safest bones for dogs to eat are small, soft bones that are large enough to prevent dogs from swallowing them whole. Pork bones tend to be thicker and harder bones, so choose small pork bones."

We share our hearts and homes (and for some lucky pups, even the foot of our beds) with our canine pals. Surely there is nothing wrong with sharing our favorite foods with them too, right? Not necessarily. Many of the foods, such as fruits and vegetables, that humans digest just fine can wreck havoc on a dog’s body, causing severe health problems. On the other hand, some of the foods people eat can be introduced to a dog’s diet just fine, and even provide health benefits such as joint strength, better breath, and allergy immunity. But before giving your dog foods that you crave, read on and learn which foods are safe and which can send your dog straight to the vet. Human Foods Almonds No, dogs shouldn’t eat almonds. Almonds may not necessarily be toxic to dogs like pecans, walnuts, and macadamia nuts are, but they can block the esophagus or even tear the windpipe if not chewed completely. Salted almonds are especially dangerous because they can increase water retention, which is potentially fatal to dogs prone to heart disease."

This is partly because wood is easy to chew, but it’s also because of the shape – sticks look more or less like bones. Bones are what dogs would be eating if we didn’t pour their food into ceramic dishes. They like the meaty flavors of bones, and the marrow inside is an excellent source of nutrients. Sticks don’t taste at all like bones, of course, and dogs do know the difference. But sticks have their own appeal. They have a musky, earthy taste that seems to appeal to dogs. And of course, they can find them just about anywhere. The dog-logic seems to be: “If l had a bone, I’d chew that. But since I don’t, this will do”."

In the past, we were certain that our canines required a lot of meat to live a long, healthy life. Because of this, they have been fed a high-protein diet that has resulted in poor coat condition, malnutrition, imbalance in metabolism, hair loss, and weakness. Today, we know that dogs are actually omnivores, requiring meat as well as vegetables and other non-meat foods for successful long healthy lives.

"text": "Primary Lung Tumors in Dogs (Lung Cancer, Pulmonary Neoplasia)13 Sep, 2015 Dr. Erika de Papp 215,653 Views Share Overview of Lung Cancer in Dogs Primary lung tumors are cancers that arise in the lung tissue of both dogs and cats. They are rare in both species, but slightly more common in dogs. The most common type of tumor is a carcinoma. Carcinomas are malignant tumors that develop from the epithelial tissues in the lungs. They may be primarily derived from the lung tissue itself, or the airways or bronchioles. The exact cause of lung cancer is not known, but there appears to be an increased incidence of cancer in dogs that live in urban environments, as well as dogs that are exposed to second hand smoke. Lung cancer is generally diagnosed in older animals, with an average age of about 11 years, but it can also be seen in younger pets. There are no known predispositions with respect to breed or sex and the development of lung tumors. However, most lung cancer is seen in medium to large sized dogs. What to Watch For Signs of lung tumors in dogs may include: Chronic (long term) coughing Lethargy Trouble breathing Weight loss Coughing up blood Anorexia (lack of appetite)Lameness Diagnosis of Primary Lung Tumors in Dogs Complete history and physical exam Complete blood count (CBC)Biochemical profile Urine analysis Chest radiographs (X-rays)Abdominal radiographs or ultrasound exam Fine needle aspirate of lung mass Trans-tracheal aspirate or bronchoscopy Mass biopsy Treatment of Primary Lung Tumors in Dogs Surgical removal of the lung tumor Chemotherapy may be recommended in selected cases."

Resources Mentioned in This Article Helping Your Dog Lose Weight How to reduce your dog to a healthy weight, and get him living life to the fullest. By Mary Straus [Updated April 5, 2017]When Ella, a five-year-old Norwich Terrier, first came to live with me a few months ago, she weighed a svelte 10.8 pounds. But within two months her weight had ballooned by almost a full pound, and there was no way you could call her anything but plump. How could this happen? How could I have let my new dog get fat – me, the one who perpetually preaches the benefits of keeping dogs lean? And what the heck was I going to do about it? The answer is that it happened because I’d never owned such a small dog before, and it turned out I was massively overfeeding her, particularly when I counted all the treats she was getting. And I would do whatever it takes to get her back to the weight she should be, and keep her there. Here is what I learned during my struggle to help Ella lose weight."

"text": "Aug 03, 2017What veggies are good for dogs? By Dr. Peter Dobias, DVMIn health-knowledge... Shares How to mix veggies in with your dog's meat and bones If you are feeding a raw diet, you may already know that the commonly followed ratio of meat, raw bones and veggies is 50/25/25. While I agree that this ratio works well for most dogs, many of you ask me what veggies and fruit to feed and which ones to avoid. What do I recommend? Follow nature’s recipe!Let's start with fruit I recommend that you give Fido only small amounts of fruit, (less than five percent) as dogs usually eat only small amounts of fruit in nature. Feed fruit at least one hour before feeding meat or other proteins and a minimum of three hours after a protein meal Feed local and pesticide-free fruit whenever possible. Why are there time restrictions? Because protein takes longer to digest, if you feed fruit and protein together, fruit may start to ferment, creating alcohol. The next thing you know, your dog is “under the influence” staggering around the house. On a more serious note, the most important reason is that fruit simply doesn’t digest as well with protein."

Benefits of Rawhide Chews Our dogs love to chew and rawhide chews have been great for their teeth, for boredom, and to alleviate anxiety. Rawhide chews keep our dogs' jaws strong, their teeth clean, and their breath fresh. What are Rawhide Chews? The ones we've purchased are made of beef hide. They're spun in circles and dried, and if you look closely, they're held together with adhesive (should our dogs be consuming this?). Some rawhide chews are flavored, but Rodrigo doesn't do well with the flavored ones, so we've just purchased the plain ones. Dangers of Rawhide Chews There is a real risk of blockage. Our dogs sometimes swallow entire chunks at a time, and since they're largely indigestible, these can get stuck in a dog's throat (I've pulled many out) and intestinal track."

Whether it's nylabones, rawhide or your best leather pumps, chewing helps relieve the discomfort of teething, develops strong jaws, helps alleviate boredom and reduces stress ..... and on top of that, it's just plain fun :)Although rawhide has had a lot of negative press, and there can be dangers if you choose inferior or inappropriate products, or don't supervise your pet while he's playing with it, it still has tons of play-value and can keep a puppy or dog healthy and entertained for hours at a time. So, let's take a look at how you can keep Fido safe while letting him have fun too.... Rawhide Dog Chews - The Basics Rawhide is made from the inner layer of a cow's hide. It is cleaned and dried before being cut, rolled, shaped or pressed into one of many different shapes or forms. Rawhide produced in the USA is not subjected to any chemical treatments that could be bad for your puppy's health. That is not necessarily true of rawhide that is processed in other countries where there have been reports of toxins such as arsenic and chrome being used. If possible I always recommend buying 'Made in the USA' rawhide products from a reputable manufacturer. The rawhide dog chews I've featured in the right hand column all fit that bill ! The Right Choice The main danger with rawhide dog chews is when Fido is given a chew that he's able to rip large chunks off (if he's small breed puppy even little pieces can be problematic). If Fido swallows these pieces they'll be softened by his stomach enzymes and expand."

Items are presented in order of frequency starting with foods, which accounted for the highest number of poisoning cases in 2011.1. Foods – specifically chocolate, xylitol, and grapes/raisins. Certain types of chocolate are very toxic to dogs. The chemical causing toxicity in chocolate is theobromine (a relative of caffeine). The darker, more bitter, and more concentrated the chocolate is, the more dangerous it is. Many sugarless gums and candies contain xylitol, a sweetener that is dangerous to dogs. When ingested, even in small amounts, it can result in a life-threatening drop in blood sugar or even liver failure."

"text": "Jeff Ashendorf, Tax Attorney (1975-present)Answered Nov 11, 2017 · Author has 498 answers and 85.2k answer views Originally Answered: The tax rate for my bonus is quite higher than the tax rate for regular salary. Why? You're not talking about your tax rate — you're talking about withholding. Two different things. The withholding on your bonus may, in fact, be higher than the withholding on your regular salary. That wouldn't be uncommon. Withholding on salary payments is calculated on the assumption that you are receiving the same paycheck every pay period, and also taking into account exemptions that you claim by filing your W-4. The tax withheld is supposed to approximate the tax that you will actually owe on your tax return (but since it only takes tour salary into account, it usually is not very accurate). The usual way to calculate withholding on a bonus (or other wages that are not part of a regular paycheck — called “supplemental wages”) is to withhold a flat 25%, with no allowance for exemptions, or 39.6% if it's over $1 million. ( If the withholding were done on the “regular” basis, it would likely be more, because it would assume that the bonus amount is received every paycheck, which would mean that your income would be assumed to be much higher. )"

"text": "\"Home » Fixed Index Annuities A Beginner's Tutorial for Fixed Index Annuities Written by Hersh Stern Updated Wednesday, March 14, 2018A Fixed Index Annuity is a tax-favored accumulation product issued by an insurance company. It shares features with fixed deferred interest rate annuities; however, with an index annuity, the annual growth is bench-marked to a stock market index (e.g., Nasdaq, NYSE, S&P500) rather than an interest rate. An index annuity’s growth is subject to rate floors and caps, meaning it will not exceed or fall below the specified return levels even if the underlying stock indices fluctuate outside of those set parameters. In simplest terms, the insurance company bears the risk of a sharp stock market decline with this type of annuity. You cannot lose any of your principal with a fixed index annuity, and your potential gains are usually capped at a rate between 3% and 9%. Many fixed index annuities also offer premium bonuses, but usually at the expense of lower potential gains. Fixed Index Annuities Offer Tax Deferral One advantage that a fixed index annuity has over a mutual fund or a bank Certificate of Deposit (CD) is that earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis. This means you pay no income taxes until you withdraw money from the annuity. This is especially important when you buy your index annuity with personal savings (so-called after-tax or “non-qualified” funds). Index annuities can also be purchased using rollover funds, funds transferred from a tax-qualified plan (i.e. IRA), or with a lump sum distribution from a 401k or pension plan."

"text": "Step Employers may tax all bonuses using a flat tax rate. In 2011, the tax rate is 25 percent of any bonus of less than $1 million. If the bonus is more than $1 million, employers must deduct taxes of 35 percent using this method. Therefore, if you receive a bonus of $400, your employer must withhold taxes of $100 from your bonus and forward those taxes to the federal government to cover your half of payroll taxes. Flat Rate Method Aggregate Taxes Step If your employer adds your bonus to your regular paycheck rather than giving you a separate bonus check, she must use the aggregate method. That is, instead of withholding payroll taxes from your bonus check based on the current flat rate, she withholds taxes on the entire amount of your check based on the payroll taxes for the entire amount. So, if you have a large bonus, you will pay hefty payroll taxes on it if your employer uses this method. Income Taxes Step Your employer adds any bonuses he gives you to your wages for the year and reports your total wages on your W-2. Thus, you report your bonuses as well as your wages when you file your income taxes. If your employer withheld more payroll taxes from your bonuses and regular income than you owe, you will receive a refund; otherwise, you will have to pay income taxes on your wages, including your bonuses."

"text": "Firing a leader is supposed to end a crisis, not make it worse. But when the board of trustees at an Illinois college voted to get rid of the institution’s president after word began to get out about extravagant spending and secret insider contracts, it quietly gave him three-quarters of a million dollars’ worth of severance pay. The deal to ease the departure President Robert Breuder’s exit from of the scandal-ridden College of Du Page, which is now also under federal and state investigation for alleged misdeeds including falsifying enrollment figures, has focused attention on a range of lavish perks given to university and college administrators around the country. “Many of these agreements are done in secret, denying the public the right to weigh in on the appropriateness of such generous packages, while students suffocate under non-dischargeable debt,” said a report from the Illinois Senate Democratic Caucus. The full Senate voted to cap such buyouts to no more than 30% of final earnings for any president making $200,000 or more, but the measure was defeated in the House after lobbying from the Illinois Council of Community College Presidents. Breuder, who had been earning nearly half a million dollars a year before he went on medical leave in April, didn’t get just a massive buyout. His benefits as head of the community college included a $21,000-a-year housing allowance and a $10,000-a-year car allowance, among other things, the legislative report said. The Chicago Tribune also disclosed that Breuder and other administrators spent more than $190,000 on food, Champagne, wine, and expensive vodka in the three years before he abruptly went on medical leave, which allowed him to continue to collect severance. Other Illinois university and college presidents, the Senate report noted, also enjoy housing allowances, cars, drivers, and paid-for dues at country clubs. “ At the same time tuition and student debt are rising at a breakneck pace, the administrative systems of public institutions have expanded into sprawling behemoths, with some of those at the very top enjoying lavish perks, including expense accounts, club memberships, vehicles, and golden parachute severance payments,” the report said."

"text": "Taxes and executive compensation Report • By Steven Balsam • August 14, 2012Briefing Paper #344Download PDFThe topic of executive compensation has long been of interest to academics, the popular press, and politicians. With the continued increase in executive compensation and resultant increase in pay disparity between those executives and the average worker, this issue is once again coming to the forefront of the public policy debate. Over the years, lawmakers have tweaked the tax code to limit disfavored forms of executive compensation, while regulators have increased the amount of disclosure companies must make. In the current Congress, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) has introduced the Income Equity Act of 2011 (H. R. 382), which would amend the Internal Revenue Code to prohibit deductions for excessive compensation for any full-time employee; compensation is defined as “excessive” if it exceeds either $500,000 or 25 times the compensation of the lowest-paid employee, whichever is larger. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of a prior limitation on deductibility of compensation, Internal Revenue Code Section 162 (m). In contrast to much of the debate today on the need of the federal government to raise tax revenue, the primary goal of Section 162 (m), which limited tax deductions for executive compensation, was not to raise revenue but to reduce excessive, non-performance-based compensation—in other words, to do something about excessive compensation that 1992 presidential candidate William Jefferson Clinton campaigned against. This paper will review the effectiveness of that provision in achieving its goals, and provide information on how much revenue it has raised or lost due to deductions for executive compensation. With respect to reducing excessive, non-performance-based compensation, many consider Section 162 (m) a failure, including Christopher Cox, the then-chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, who went so far as to suggest it belonged “in the museum of unintended consequences.” Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the then-chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, was even more direct, saying:162 (m) is broken. …"

"text": "Importance of Clear Definitions in a Sales Compensation Commission Planwritten by: Jean Scheid •edited by: Linda Richter •updated: 10/13/2011If you pay your employees on commission, it’s important that you set clear definitions in a sales compensation commission plan. You must have guidelines and rules and understand the difference between draws and actual commission paid, as well as tax deductions. What Is a Sales Commission Plan? There are two types of sales commission plans: One is a commission-only based plan and the other is a combination of salary plus commissions. With a commission-only plan, salespeople are paid a percentage from the products they sell. In a salary-commission plan, the salesperson receives a normal set salary and receives commission payments on top of that salary. Because commission plans can be complicated, it’s best to have clear definitions in your sales compensation plan to avoid confusion. Setting Up a Commission Plan Your sales commission plan should be based on the type of business you are in. You also need to determine, if your plan is commission-based only, what percentage you want to offer your salespeople. For example, in the auto industry, it’s standard to pay salespeople a 25% commission off the gross sales, minus what is called dealer pack."

"text": "\"Deductions & Credits Deductions A to ZHow to Deduct Employee Gifts, Awards, and Bonuses When Are Gifts, Awards, Bonuses Taxable? Share Flip Pin Email•••By Jean Murray Updated December 09, 2017Many employers start thinking about gifts or bonuses for employees during the holidays, at the employee's work anniversary, or at an achievement recognition ceremony. But before you give out those awards or bonuses or gifts, consider the tax implications for your business and for the employees. Two Questions to Ask First Are these gifts/awards/bonuses taxable to the employees? If they are taxable, you must deduct all applicable federal, state, and local income and FICA taxes. You must also pay other employment taxes ( unemployment tax, for example) on these amounts. Are these gifts/awards/bonuses deductible to you as a business expense? To be deductible, often these items have limits. Knowing the limits helps you determine the amount of the gift. Business Gifts to Employees Your business can deduct no more than $25 of a gift to any one person each year, including employees."

"text": "Will a Bonus Make You Pay Higher Federal Taxes? This article was written by Luke Landes in Taxes. 56 comments. How do bonuses affect your taxes? This might make you think differently about that extra income. Here’s how it works. With the holidays approaching, many companies are preparing their bonus checks. However, some employees who are looking forward to their bonuses are also concerned about tax consequences. I gave up this “extra” part of my corporate pay, in exchange for the benefit of working for myself, when I left my day job a few years ago. An annual bonus was certainly an appreciated part of my income, however."

Typical maturities are ten, fifteen or twenty years up to a certain age limit. Some policies also pay out in the case of critical illness. Policies are typically traditional with-profits or unit-linked (including those with unitised with-profits funds). Endowments can be cashed in early (or surrendered) and the holder then receives the surrender value which is determined by the insurance company depending on how long the policy has been running and how much has been paid into it."

"text": "Non Taxable Employee Benefits – “DE MINIMIS” Benefits By Vincent Perdiguez As an employer, you might give benefits to your employees apart from their regular salaries and wages. As we have previously discussed, these are called fringe benefits. However, there are fringe benefits that are relatively small in value and are not taxable. These are called “de minimis benefits”. According to BIR Revenue Regulations No. 3-1998 (C), the term “de minimis benefits” refers to facilities or privileges furnished or offered by an employer to his employees that are of relatively small value and are offered or furnished by the employer merely as a means of promoting the health, goodwill, contentment, or efficiency of his employees. “ De minimis benefits”, like fringe benefits, are granted by the employer on top of the employee’s basic compensation, but are not considered as taxable compensation for income tax purposes nor subject to the fringe benefit tax. Employers are not obliged to give this kind of benefits but they are encouraged to do so since these benefits, no matter how small, are a big help to the workers. The concept of “de minimis benefits” had been initially introduced in RR No. 3-1998 and underwent revisions and amendments which include BIR Revenue Regulations No."

"text": "\"Overview There are approaching 6 million public servants in the UK, but only around 0.4m of these are civil servants. ( Click here for further detail.) Civil service pay therefore represents only a small fraction of total public sector pay. The vast majority of civil servants earn pretty much the same as their private sector counterparts. The median full time salary of all civil servants is around £23,000. Senior civil servants, however, earn significantly less than their opposite numbers in the private sector. Departments' total pay bills are controlled by the Treasury but they have quite a lot of freedom to set their own pay rates within that total. This helpful If G chart shows the way in which pay varies by grade and department. Civil service pay has been frozen since 2010, bonuses have been sharply reduced, and pension contributions have increased. As a result, the real pay of UK civil servants has, like that of most of their private sector counterparts, fallen very significantly in real terms."

However, the pay for many travel nursing jobs is actually in line with the regional average pay for nurses once all of the costs have been calculated and an apples-to-apples comparison has been conducted. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t any high paying jobs out there. Indeed, there are some very high paying jobs out there. In this post, we’ll provide some general information on high paying jobs as well as some insight on landing these elusive assignments. The highest paying travel nursing jobs generally fall into three categories. There are strikes, crisis rate assignments, and bonus assignments. Please keep in mind that these categories aren’t set in stone. There maybe some overlap, and there may even be other variations. However, by categorizing high paying assignments this way, we can cover the major differences and nuances which will help you understand what you’re in for when securing and working them."

HABITAT: Osteichthyes are a very diverse group of bony fish. They are Ectothermic, which means they depend on the surrounding environment for their body temperatures. Osteichthyes live in all types of fresh and salt waters. Mild temperature waters are desired but not necessary. Some osteichthyes, such as swordfish, are endothermic and can produce their own body heat. TYPE OF COELOM: There is a coelom present among all osteichthyes. Each Osteichthyes' coeloms vary slightly, but all have a coelom, which allows them to move more freely through the water. ENDOSKELETON or EXOSKELETON: Osteichthyes have an exoskeleton, meaning they have an external skeleton that helps protect the internal organs. Bony fish differ from the Chondrichthyes because the bony fish have skeletons actually made of bone."

This lesson will introduce you to homeostasis and answer your questions about body temperature regulation and reactions, like goosebumps. Homeostasis What is homeostasis? In biology, the term homeostasis is used a lot and it can refer to many different biological processes, but at its core, homeostasis is actually a very simple concept. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment within an organism. Pretty simple, right? Just maintain the status quo and you'll be fine. But that's a lot easier said than done. Maintaining a stable internal environment in a person means having to carefully regulate countless parameters which include: Body temperature Internal p HInternal concentrations of various ions Hydration Blood pressure Glucose levels in the blood So, how do our bodies do all of this and keep track of everything at the same time?"

Yet, its myocardium harbors the cardiac pacemaker in all vertebrates. In human, ectopic pacemaking and subsequent pathologies may originate from sinus venosus-derived myocardium surrounding the coronary sinus and the superior caval vein. In ectothermic vertebrates, i.e., fishes, amphibians and reptiles, the sinus venosus aids atrial filling by contracting prior to the atrium (atria). This is facilitated by the sinuatrial delay of approximately the same duration as the atrioventricular delay, which facilitates atrial filling of the ventricles. In mammals, the sinuatrial delay is lost, and the sinus venosus-derived myocardium persists as an extensive myocardial sheet surrounding the caval veins, which is activated in synchrony with the myocardium of the atria."

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

Animal organs and organ systems constantly adjust to internal and external changes in order to maintain this steady state. Examples of internal conditions maintained homeostatically are the level of blood glucose, body temperature, blood calcium level. These conditions remain stable because of physiologic processes that result in negative feedback relationships. If the blood glucose or calcium rises, this sends a signal to organs responsible for lowering blood glucose or calcium. The signals that restore the normal levels are examples of negative feedback. When homeostatic mechanisms fail, the results can be unfavorable for the animal. Homeostatic mechanisms keep the body in dynamic equilibrium by constantly adjusting to the changes that the body’s systems encounter. Even an animal that is apparently inactive is maintaining this homeostatic equilibrium. Two examples of factors that are regulated homeostatically are temperature and water content."

"text": "Not Exactly Rocket Science A Blog by Ed Yong Meet the Comical Opah, the Only Truly Warm-Blooded Fish Posted Thu, 05/14/2015There’s nothing about the opah that says “fast-moving predator”. Tuna, sharks, and swordfish are fast-moving predators and accordingly, their bodies look like streamlined torpedoes. By contrast, the opah looks like a big startled frisbee, with thin red fins stuck on as an afterthought. It’s pretty (silver body and red fins) and big (up to two metres long), but fast? Nicholas Wegner from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration certainly didn’t think so when he first started studying it. Since then, he has discovered that the opah is an active predator, which has a trait that no other fish possesses. It is warm-blooded. Most fish have body temperatures that match the surrounding water. A small number of them can warm specific parts of their bodies. Swordfish, marlins, and sailfish, can temporarily heat their eyes and brains, sharpening their vision when pursuing prey."

This lesson will introduce you to homeostasis and answer your questions about body temperature regulation and reactions, like goosebumps. Homeostasis What is homeostasis? In biology, the term homeostasis is used a lot and it can refer to many different biological processes, but at its core, homeostasis is actually a very simple concept. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment within an organism. Pretty simple, right? Just maintain the status quo and you'll be fine. But that's a lot easier said than done. Maintaining a stable internal environment in a person means having to carefully regulate countless parameters which include: Body temperature Internal p HInternal concentrations of various ions Hydration Blood pressure Glucose levels in the blood So, how do our bodies do all of this and keep track of everything at the same time?"

The Osteichthys, or bony fish, include both ray-finned and lobe-finned fish, accounting for over 30,000 species in all, ranging from familiar food fish like salmon and tuna to more exotic lungfish and electric eels. The Chondrichthyes, or cartilaginous fish, include sharks, rays and skates, and the Agnatha, or jawless fish, include hagfish and lampreys. ( A fourth class, Placodermes, or armored fish, has long since gone extinct, and most experts lump Acanthodes, or spiny sharks, under the Osteichthys umbrella. ) 02of 10All Fish Are Equipped With Gills Getty Images Like all animals, fish need oxygen in order to fuel their metabolism: the difference is that terrestrial vertebrates breathe air, while fish rely on oxygen dissolved in water. To this end, fish have evolved gills, complex, efficient, multi-layered organs that absorb oxygen from the water and excrete carbon dioxide. Gills only work when oxygenated water is constantly streaming through them, which is why fish and sharks are always moving—and why they expire so quickly when they're plucked from the water by human fishermen. ( Some fish, like lungfish and catfish, possess rudimentary lungs in addition to their gills, and can breathe air when circumstances demand. ) 03of 10Fish Were the World's First Vertebrate Animals Pikaia, a Cambrian fish. Getty Images Before there were vertebrates, there were chordates—small marine animals possessing bilateral symmetry, heads distinct from their tails, and nerve cords running down the length of their bodies."

Vertebrates have an internal skeleton of cartilage or bone, with vertebrae surrounding the dorsal nerve cord. Subphylum Vertebrata The subphylum Vertebrata consists of about 43,700 species of animals with backbones. Vertebrates exhibit all three of the chordate characteristics at some point during their lives. The embryonic notochord is replaced by a vertebral column in the adult. The vertebral column is made of individual hard segments (vertebrae) surrounding the dorsal hollow nerve cord. The nerve cord is the one chordate feature present in the adult phase of all vertebrates. The vertebral column, part of a flexible but strong endoskeleton, is evidence that vertebrates are segmented. The vertebrate skeleton is living tissue (either cartilage or bone) that grows as the animal grows. The endoskeleton and muscles form an organ system that permits rapid and efficient movement."

In ordinary language, these animals are commonly referred to as \"\"warm-blooded.\"\" The term endotherm comes from the Greek endon, meaning within, and thermos, which means heat. An animal that is endothermic is categorized as an endotherm, a group that includes primarily birds and mammals. The other largest group of animals are ectotherms —the so-called \"\"cold-blooded\"\" animals with bodies that adapt to whatever temperature is present in their surroundings. This group is also very large,including fish, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates such as insects. Each Endotherm Seeks to Maintain an Ideal Temperature For endotherms, most of the heat they generate originates in the internal organs. For example, humans generate about two-thirds of their heat in the thorax (the midsection) with about fifteen percent generated by the brain. Endotherms have a higher rate of metabolism than ectotherms, which requires that they consume more fats and sugars to create the heat they need to survive in cool temperatures."

Let teachers know you need one by requesting it Request a video 0Help us find a video Key Questions How does the hypothalamus regulate body temperature? The hypothalamus, which provides the highest level of endocrine control, integrates the activities of the nervous and endocrine systems. The hypothalamus plays an important role in regulating the body temperature. This function is carried out by the anterior hypothalamus and the posterior hypothalamus. They have directly opposite effects. Stimulation of the anterior hypothalamus begins a thermolytic response thereby resulting in decrease in the body temperature. While stimulation of the posterior hypothalamus begins a thermogenic response that leads to elevation in body heat and its conservation. Thermolytic responses are characterized by cutaneous vasodilation which is illustrated by body reactions like elevation in heat loss by radiation, perspiration that facilitates heat loss by evaporation, and the typical feature of panting in animals particularly in dogs. Thermogenic responses incorporate cutaneous vasoconstriction that results in minimizing loss of heat via radiation, the mechanism of shivering that increases heat level owing to vigorous muscular activity."

Explosions are some of the most violent exothermic reactions. In thermodynamics, the term exothermic process (exo- : \"\"outside\"\") describes a process or reaction that releases energy from the system to its surroundings, usually in the form of heat, but also in a form of light (e.g. a spark, flame, or flash), electricity (e.g. a battery), or sound (e.g. explosion heard when burning hydrogen). Its etymology stems from the Greek prefix έξω (exō, which means \"\"outwards\"\") and the Greek word θερμικός (thermikόs, which means \"\"thermal\"\"). [ 1] The term exothermic was first coined by Marcellin Berthelot. The opposite of an exothermic process is an endothermic process, one that absorbs energy in the form of heat. The concept is frequently applied in the physical sciences to chemical reactions, where as in chemical bond energy that will be converted to thermal energy (heat). Exothermic (and endothermic) describe two types of chemical reactions or systems found in nature, as follows. Simply stated, after an exothermic reaction, more energy has been released to the surroundings than was absorbed to initiate and maintain the reaction. An example would be the burning of a candle, wherein the sum of calories produced by combustion (found by looking at radiant heating of the surroundings and visible light produced, including increase in temperature of the fuel (wax) itself, which with oxygen, have become hot CO 2 and water vapor,) exceeds the number of calories absorbed initially in lighting the flame and in the flame maintaining itself.

One of the most intelligent of all breeds, the Border Collie is also one of the most challenging to live with. His superior intellect, combined with his intensity and obsessive zeal for working, are his most impressive features – and also the ones that make him unsuitable for most homes. This sharp-eyed, quick-thinking, fanatical workaholic has been bred for endless miles of sprinting and stop-and-go action. If it isn't possible for him to work livestock, you must substitute several LONG (45 minute) walks per day, plus off-leash romps in a safe area like a dog park. Plus fetching balls or frisbee. Plus weekly classes in advanced obedience or agility (obstacle course for dogs). Yes, this is a lot!Without physical and mental stimulation, Border Collies become hyperactive and will drive you up the wall with obsessive and destructive behaviors as they seek creative outlets for their physical and mental energy. High intelligence does mean they learn very quickly - but that includes learning how to do anything they set their minds to."

"text": "What is the difference between English Shepherds and Scotch Collies? Current Articles 16It is interesting that many examples exist in which Scotch Collies and English Shepherds are mentioned in the same sources, indicating that they were recognized as different breeds long ago. One of these sources was brought to my attention recently by my friend and well know English Shepherd breeder Vivian Flynt. It seems that the famous English Shepherd breeder and promoter, Tom Stodghill was breeding and selling Scotch Collies and English Shepherd concurrently in 1947. His ad from the April 1947 issue of UKC Bloodlines is below. Family Similarities A similar question could be asked, what is the difference between the Australian Shepherd and the English? The AS can be merle and bob-tailed but they certainly are not all that way and ES can also be bob-tailed too. Logic dictates that no more than 50% of Aussies can be merle at any one time since merle x merle breedings are dangerous and a merle x non-merle breeding will result in only about 50% of the pups being merle. The same goes for natural bob-tails, although less dangerous to cross NBT x NBT the fact remains that a percentage of Australian Shepherds do not exhibit this dominant gene. Take away the merle and bob-tail and what differentiates them from English Shepherds, at least Border Collies have their working style to differentiate them."

They are known for their intelligence and athletic prowess. Border collies are among the best breeds for competitive sports, agility and obedience. This is a medium-size dog with a dense double coat. A black and white scheme is common, but the border collie also comes in a number of other colors. It is not a dog for a couch-potato owner as it requires lots of exercise. Border collies need to be kept busy to prevent boredom and destructive behavior. They are generally good with older children and dogs, and some even get along with cats.

Puppies are born both deaf and blind. Their eyes begin to open between 10 and 14 days. They begin to hear soon after but it takes a while longer before they have complete sight and hearing. Puppies begin getting their puppy teeth when they are about three weeks old. They’re very sharp!Puppies begin getting their adult teeth between four and seven months. They’re very likely to chew on things during this period. Dogs are thought to have descended from wolves in southeast Asia at least 14,000 years ago. Some of the oldest breeds of dogs are the Afghan Hound, the Chow Chow, the Lhasa Apso, the Pekingese, the Shar Pei, the Shih Tzu, the Tibetan Terrier, the Saluki, the Basenji, the Akita Inu, the Shiba Inu, the Samoyed, the Siberian Husky and the Alaskan Malamute. Most dogs have a double coat of hair — an undercoat that provides insulation and an outer coat of guard hair."

It was about 88 degrees Fahrenheit with about 40% humidity as best as I can guess. We did some short agility sequences (3-4 obstacles) and then my second cousins took turns throwing her Chuckit squirrel for her for about 15 minutes or so (not very far, they kept throwing it upside down so it'd go a max of 15-20 feet ). She seemed fine at first, but when her panting got a little more rapid than is typical for her I asked her to take a break. Her panting got a little more frantic and she was wobbly in the rear so I hosed her off trying to cool her down, figuring it was heat stroke. She stayed wobbly (mostly in the rear) and wanted to keep trying to get the girls to play with her, much less responsive than usual to me. She recovered gradually over the course of about 30 minutes. I'm aware of BCC, but not familiar enough to be able to differentiate it between possible symptoms of heat stroke... this isn't the first time this has happened with her, but it was never quite this severe (usually I catch the slightly \"\"frantic\"\" panting and have her lay down until her breathing returns to normal). Would heat stroke / hyperthermia be able to recover that quickly without veterinary intervention, or am I probably looking more at BCC?"

He points out that different breed types have been developed to care about different things, and that not all of them intersect well with what humans care about, IQ wise. For example, BCs are the best problem solvers, but won't win obedience trials. Goldens win obedience, in part because they love it and in part because they look so happy doing it. The police dogs have very high intelligence in every thing police dogs need to do, and some of that is also obedience, but they're not bred to look all that happy. Sighthounds don't give a flip for obedience, but you'll never catch that rabbit or hind on your own... And heaven help the scent hounds if you want them to ignore what their noses are telling them.

We do know they’re descended from grey wolves, but with ancient dog remains found all over the world, where and when they were first domesticated has been hard to determine. What we do know is that somewhere along the line ‘man’s best friend’ aligned themselves with our ancestors and – whether at work or at play – dogs have become an indispensible part of human life. Today, the majority of dogs are kept as pets, and the most popular breeds among Australia’s 3.4 million-odd dogs, suggest we prefer the intelligent varieties says Dr Kate Schoeffel, of the Australian Association of Pet Dog Breeders (AAPDB). Research by Professor Stanley Coren, a psychologist at the University of British Columbia, Canada, ranked dog breeds on the basis of intelligence using data from hundreds of professional dog-obedience judges. Australia’s top ten pure-bred canines of 2012 include six of the dogs from that list. There’s quite a range of intelligence across dog breeds says Kate, although she’s adds that the variance within a breed is greater than between breeds."

"text": "Bail is a sum of money guaranteed to a court as a way to ensure criminal defendants make their court dates. Courts will often accept bail as an alternative to housing a defendant in jail while they await a hearing. This gives defendants a certain level freedom, while giving courts some assurance that the defendant will appear to face their charges. When a criminal defendant can’t afford to post bail on their own, they turn to a bondsman who guarantees payment of that money to the court in the event the defendant misses their court date. This creates a win-win situation that saves the judicial system the expense of housing defendants, while allowing people facing criminal charges to be released from police custody while they await their court date. However, if a defendant who is out on bail does not appear in court as ordered, the bail bondsman is then obligated to pay the cash bond that was guaranteed to the court. To avoid forfeiting the cash bond and taking a loss, the bail bondsman will hire the services of a bounty hunter to locate, apprehend, and return the fugitive. Licensed bounty hunters receive arrest authority through the bail bondsman, which allows them to lawfully arrest the fugitive and receive a percentage of the bond for doing so. To date, 22 states require bounty hunters to be licensed. Some states, including California, have specific statutes in place that regulate the practice of bounty hunting, but do not require licensure for these professionals."

The bail agent guarantees to the court that the defendant will appear in court each and every time the judge requires them to. For this service, the defendant is charged a percentage of the bail amount. Before being released the defendant or a relative or friend of the defendant, typically contacts a bail bondsman to arrange for the posting of bail. Prior to the posting of a bail bond, the defendant or a co-signer must guarantee that they will pay the full amount of bail if the defendant does not appear in court.

These laws answer the question of “who polices the police?” by providing guidelines by which officers must conduct themselves and mechanisms by which law enforcement agencies can monitor their own, such as internal affairs divisions, oversight by state attorney generals, and so forth. Many of these laws deal with issues such as the use of excessive force by police officers, police misconduct, giving suspects their Miranda rights, corruption, interrogation practices, and police brutality. Who are Considered to be “Police” Under the Law? Police forces are usually considered to be non-military organizations that operate under the authority of the government. Their only task is to police domestic issues, not fight foreign powers overseas, which is a military function. While in the common vernacular “police” usually refer to officers of a city police department, from a broader legal standpoint “police” can often refer to any person or organization involved in law enforcement.

George Lucas’ happy cinematic accident was still a beloved pop culture tentpole, and the entertainment industry was still busy learning from its business model. But it was also a time of relative quiet for the franchise. Another film with the main cast was implausible, and the excuses for new merchandising were slim to none. So Lucasfilm started brainstorming new ways to capitalize on the Star Wars brand and ensure all of its media channels were fully functional before the arrival of the Prequel Trilogy. Enter Shadows of the Empire —a mad scientist’s experiment in cross-promotion that would make editors at Marvel weep at the complexity of its moving parts. This multimedia initiative was designed to tell one large narrative across various mediums, with each platform contributing an important piece of the story.

"text": "\"Bounty Hunter Salary Of course, the biggest question you all have is: \"\"Wow, this sounds really cool, but how much would I get paid?\"\" Well, there's no easy way to determine bounty hunter salary but it depends heavily on where you work and how you operate. A regular independent bounty hunter works on commission. He captures a bounty that has yet to pay for his bail and returns them to the bail agency. The bail agency then pays a percentage of the bounty's bail, which makes up the bounty hunter salary. The percentage changes based on location but the chart generally looks something like this: Local recoveries = 10% of the bail National recoveries = 20% of the bail International recoveries = 35% of the bail ** One reason why international recovery percentages are so much higher than the others is because of the added risk involved with undertaking an international fugitive recovery operation. As I've already pointed out, bounty hunting is illegal in almost every country in the world and if a police officer from one of those countries catches a bounty hunter apprehending a fugitive, then the bounty hunter is charged with the criminal act of kidnapping and thrown in prison. The most famous example is, once again, Dog the Bounty Hunter. Does a degree increase bounty hunter salary? While there is not a specific degree requirement for bounty hunters, obtaining a criminal justice degree, criminal investigations, or law enforcement degree will help you get the knowledge you'll need to be successful."

A&E has canceled long-running reality TV show Dog the Bounty Hunter, EW confirms. The series, which wrapped up its eighth season last week, featured fugitive recovery agent Chapman and his family tracking down criminals in Hawaii and his home state of Colorado. The show got its start following Chapman’s appearance on Take This Job, where viewers got a peek at unusual professions. Since then, Chapman and A&E have been met with controversy more than once: In late 2007, production on the show was put on hold when Chapman’s son, Tucker, sold a tape to National Enquirer with audio of Chapman repeatedly using the ‘n’-word. He apologized on Larry King Live, and episodes began airing again in July 2008. Chapman also recently received a series of death threats, which the FBI is investigating.

We're told Lyssa knocked a phone out of an officer's hand.

Oddly, the bounty hunter's daughter is still behind bars because her $400 bail has not been paid yet.

It stars Lee Majors, Douglas Barr, and Heather Thomas as Hollywood stunt performers who moonlight as bounty hunters. Contents [ hide ]1 Plot2 Cast3 DVD releases4 Nielsen ratings5 The truck6 Film remake7 See also8 References9 External links Plot [ edit]Lee Majors plays Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter. He uses his physical skills and knowledge of stunt effects (especially stunts involving cars or his large GMC pickup truck) to capture fugitives and criminals. He is accompanied by his cousin and stuntman-in-training Howie Munson (Barr) - who studied in Nashville - , whom Colt frequently calls \"\"Kid\"\", and occasionally by fellow stunt performer Jody Banks (Thomas). During the first-season episodes, typically, an episode begins with a voice-over introduction from Majors (in his role of Seavers) explaining the precarious life of a Hollywood stuntman, and how he, Seavers, is unable to make a full-time living from stunt work and must moonlight as a bounty hunter. This is intercut with actual Hollywood stock footage from various eras of dangerous movie stunts, such as an exploding plane plunging straight into the ground, a motorcycle jumping through a flaming hoop, and a biplane crashing/barnstorming into a barn."

"text": "How Long Does it Take to Potty Train a Puppy?by Lindsay Stordahl | 25 comments How long does it take to potty train a puppy? It depends! There’s no magic age or amount of time, but generally people set their expectations too high for their puppies. It depends on the individual puppy and the consistency of the puppy’s owner. With my weimaraner puppy, it took about 6 weeks from when we got him for the potty training to “click. ”We got him at 8 weeks old and once he was 14 weeks I realized he hadn’t had an accident in a long time. ( And he definitely was not 100 percent yet. More like 80. ) Six weeks may seem fast but during that time I kept thinking, when will he “get it”? It got really old taking him out 12 or 13 times a day, but it paid off."

She has gone from gaining half a pound a week, to a pound a week, to a pound and a half a week, and back down to a pound a week. ( I think she just finished her rapid growth phase).

I learned to say “bitch” in a conversation and not bat an eye long ago, and after three girl Weims—and three girl pups–I feel like I’ve earned the right the share some of my experiences. Most Weims are about a year old when they first go into heat (technically “estrous”), although it can range from 8 months to 2 years and still be within the range of normal. Usually they are about the same age as their mothers, so this can be a good guide. Cycling every 6 months is “average” and I’ve found that to be true with my girls. It can be anywhere from 4 months to 8 or 9 months. Some females are like clockwork and others are all over the place, impossible to predict. They usually cycle along with their female housemates. What is actually going on? Dogs are a diestrous species, meaning that they go into heat (or season) twice a year."

Now Samson, who I adopted from a rough life at 6 didn't start getting grey until he was almost 8, go figure.. At age 6, I would start using some type of joint supplement, be it Glyco Flex, or just Glucosamine with Chondrotin. I liked the Glyco Flex mainly cos it comes in soft chews whcih were easier on Samson's teeth... If you go that route, this is the best site for prices that Sharon gave me. Watch the weight, that can really be harmful as they age as well... Every pound taken away will help those joints... Regular exercise to keep not only his body but his mind active as well * Samson really was doing great until a year before we let him go, his deteriation was very rapid, so I guess my best advice is know your dog and his habits... http://www.entirelypets.com/glyco3soft120.html#__________________ --WILLOW---Owned by *Angel 8/8/05 & Flick 3/8/08 Samson, waiting at the bridge 8/27/0811-22-2008, 08:35 AM # 3 ( permalink )tootsie Boxer Forums Addict Join Date: Oct 2006Location: Sunny Florida Posts: 7,773Re: When Do Boxers Turn Grey?

During the next two years other young people including Kenny Pugh, Jeff and Kirsten Pralle, Clarence Shockley, Randy Rader and others joined them and turned this dream from extended camping trips into the beginnings of the premiere race we know today. Joe Redington Sr., after discussing the idea with these young people, advised them to \"\"go for it\"\" and that was the beginning of the Jr. Iditarod. This dedicated group of young mushers, with the help of their parents and other interested adults, worked very hard and saw their dream realized when the first Jr. Iditarod Trail Race took place in March of 1978. From then on, the race has grown in stature and professionalism to an event of approximately 160 miles in length. It is held on the weekend immediately preceding the start of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and draws young mushers from all over Alaska and from outside the state as well as Europe with Thomas Krejci of Czechoslovakia being our first international entrant in 1992. www.jriditarod.com/special.php?id=7Preview the Junior Iditarod Camping trips with their dogs and sleds, that’s all teenage mushers had prior to the days of the now celebrated Junior Iditarod."

"text": "The Mechanics of Writing A Tutorial Created by Julie Contents: Overview Sentences Punctuation Paragraphing Grammar- Tense- Subect -Verb Agreement- Homonyms Practice Final Note Resources Overview Mechanics is the term we use to describe the technical aspects of writing, such as spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc. Many fiction writers, myself included, would say that mechanics are not the most important part of writing. They come second to other elements such as a good storyline, well-developed characters, and so on. However, mechanics are still very important. If your story is not mechanically well-written, many educated readers will not even bother to read it, either because it’s too hard for them to figure out what you’re trying to say, or they just assume the story won’t be good because it doesn’t appear to be well-written. Despite the phrase “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” appearance matters in fanfic. If your story doesn’t look worth reading, people may not read it. Good mechanics make a story easy to read, and that will attract more readers. If you’re not sold on the importance of mechanics, read the following paragraph, borrowed from this site: Memorable Studentsthey are the memorable students in any class they participate fully in any mischief they see no point in volunteering for extra jobs they delight in distracting their classmates they take no pleasure in learning they are never satisfied Not only is the above example difficult to read because of the lack of punctuation and capitalization, but it also impossible to understand the meaning of it. If it had punctuation, it could be read in either of these ways: Memorable Students They are the memorable students."

"text": "By Opal Dunn, educational consultant and author Introduction Young children are natural language acquirers; they are self-motivated to pick up language without conscious learning, unlike adolescents and adults. They have the ability to imitate pronunciation and work out the rules for themselves. Any idea that learning to talk in English is difficult does not occur to them unless it’s suggested by adults, who themselves probably learned English academically at a later age through grammar-based text books. Read the notes below about young children learning English as another language. You can also download these notes as a booklet. Right-click on the link below to download the booklet to your computer. You may print this booklet. The advantages of beginning early Young children are still using their individual, innate language-learning strategies to acquire their home language and soon find they can also use these strategies to pick up English. Young children have time to learn through play-like activities. They pick up language by taking part in an activity shared with an adult."

And I also heard that braces make your teeth looser! I wish I never got braces =/Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Your teeth will move a little or a lot all your life - whether you get braces or not - due to chewing, talking, grinding (especially if you do this in your sleep due to stress), lack of or too much saliva and just old age. It's possible gums can recede if your teeth are crowded and the braces are forcing them to straighten and the root structure is not strong enough. Seems braces are being put on younger ages all the time which seems like a bad idea - especially because oftentimes they have to have a second round of braces. Good deal for the orthodontists though ! My lower teeth starting shifting recently and I went to 3 orthodontists and they all had different recommendations because I'm an adult: Braces for 12 - 14 months - $1,100 Invisalign for 14 months - $4,800 ( ! )"

January 24, 2017 / 0 Comments / in General Articles, Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, Orthodontic Treatments, Team Demas Orthodontics / by Team Demas Views 48783Likes 1Ratings 1 2 3 4 5LAST UPDATED: JANUARY 24, 2017When you are done wearing braces, you expect to have perfectly straight teeth for a lifetime, but that isn’t always the case. There is the possibility of shifting teeth, especially if a retainer isn’t worn immediately after having the braces removed from your orthodontist. Below are some information about using a retainer and how they can help fix the shift in teeth following orthodontic treatment. FAQWhy is a Retainer Worn after Braces? If you have recently completed orthodontic treatment, you might have been advised to wear a retainer. This is a recommendation by many orthodontists as it helps to keep your teeth in their new position. With the braces off, there is a risk that the teeth will start shifting back to their original position. While it doesn’t happen with everyone, the best thing you can do is prevent it by wearing your retainer as often as your orthodontist recommended. They will inform you about exactly how long they need to be worn for in order to avoid orthodontic relapse."

He said that typically every child is referred nowadays for early ortho care. We saw the orthodontist then who said he was fine for the time being but to bring him back in 6 months. When I asked if braces at this age prevented them later on he said no. I do not understand why they are putting braces on elementary school children.

"text": "in Blog • Braces • Oral Health • Orthodontics Foods to Eat and Foods to Avoid with Braces Eating with braces can be tricky. The irony of braces is that they help and hurt your teeth at the same time: They help because they correct serious alignment issues, but they also hurt because they make it a little harder to practice your oral health routine. Brushing and flossing are more difficult, and you need to be more conscious of what you eat and drink . There are certain foods you can eat with braces, and certain foods to avoid with braces — and it helps to know which is which. So, if a trip to the orthodontist is in your future, you might consider a few changes towards a “braces friendly” diet. Ask the Orthodontist: What Are Some Foods to Avoid with Braces? Foods to Avoid with Braces There are some foods that are not off-limits per se, but that you should either avoid or be careful eating. For example: Other Hard Foods (Besides Candy) – This includes everything from harder types bread like pizza crust, to nuts, to vegetables like raw carrots. Since they require so much force to bite through, they can damage your wires and brackets. Cook raw vegetables so they are soft."

It’s the first question a patient asks after their braces come off, we’ve celebrated the momentous occasion, and handed him a retainer: How long do I have to wear my retainer? It’s a good and valid question. I’ll highlight the type of retainer used most often, why retainers are so important and how long you need to wear them. FAQWhen are retainers used most often? Orthodontists use the clear plastic retainers most often. Even though there are retainers with a metal wire that go across the front of the teeth, there’s nothing worse than getting your braces off and having an orthodontist put a metal wire in your mouth, saying, “You have to wear this full time for a few months.” So, we use the clear plastic retainer, which fits snuggly around the teeth. It won’t allow the teeth move or turn and, it doesn’t irritate the tongue and lips. When it comes to speaking it usually only takes a day or two to adjust."

"text": "Why Are Teeth Stained After Braces Removal Home / Braces / Blog14136965Lots of people who have braces are worried that when they will remove those braces their teeth will be stained. Usually the stains left behind are if you don’t brush properly or regularly. Do not forget to brush your teeth vigilantly reaching to the farthest of crevices so that you are left with teeth that look real good. Food can get easily trapped in between the braces and leave stains behind. Even after taking regular care you still find that your teeth are stained after you have had your braces removed you can have them polished and whitened by the dentist. Braces are of several kinds. Invisalign braces will not stain your teeth at all. In case you have other kinds of braces you can do everything in your might to keep the stains under control by maintaining a severe check on your teeth hygiene. Brush, floss and mouth wash everyday religiously. Later, when your braces are removed you won’t have much of a stain on them."

"text": "October 6, 2016 in Cosmetic Dentistry Articles • Dentistry Articles Invisalign, Braces or Surgery – Which is Best to Fix your Overbite? Overbites make up nearly 70 percent of dental disorders among children. There are a number of treatments, but a surprising one to many parents is Invisalign. This new option is extremely comfortable and unobtrusive, and can help a significant number of cases. The fact that 7 in 10 dental disorders are overbites, is an eye-opening statistic. No wonder there is a wide range of available treatments. We want to explain the various treatment options, but before we do, let’s take a look at the types of overbites. Two primary types of overbites exist: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal overbites are classified as teeth that jut out in front of the bottom teeth. Vertical overbites occur when the top teeth significantly overlap the bottom teeth."

Are they always necessary or are there cases when your child could get by without them? The cost is one thing to consider, but on the flip side, braces are necessary in most circumstances and even desired by most teens concerned with their smile. A local orthodontist, Dr. Timothy Stuhlmiller, DDS, CAGS, of Millersburg, said that more kids than you may think actually do need orthodontic care. “ Everyone wants to have a perfect smile,” Stuhlmiller said. “ Unfortunately many kids, and adults too, must turn to an orthodontist for help to achieve that goal. Approximately 25 to 50 percent of children do require orthodontics.”"

You are probably curious about what this means, what they feel like, and if they’ll hurt. Knowing these things is a good idea before you go in for your next appointment and will make things much easier. In this article, we’ll answer your questions in detail and go over the whole process. Having this knowledge will enable you to come to the orthodontist appointment better prepared, so you can feel more comfortable during and after the procedure. What exactly are Spacers for Braces? When there is not enough space between the teeth, braces cannot be put on. So when you go to the orthodontist for your first visit, the orthodontist will determine whether or not you need spacers. Spacers for braces are used by most orthodontists on patients who are getting braces and need more space between their molars. Spacers literally create the “space” needed so braces can be properly attached."

April 20, 2015Find out what plans may cover orthodontics, plus learn about alternatives to braces that may be covered by some dental plans. Major medical insurance plans do not typically include dental coverage. It is most often a supplemental plan that you need to purchase separately. When it comes to braces and orthodontics, it is important to know what your dental insurance covers and what different coverage exists for both children and adults. If you have children under 18, insurance companies must offer an option to purchase dental insurance that meets the criteria of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) when you are purchasing health insurance. But whether or not you purchase it is up to you. There is also no ACA tax penalty if your children don’t have dental insurance. Dental policies for children differ from state to state and cover different services. For example, some plans pay the entire cost for topical fluoride, sealants, and preventive care but the patient’s parents are partially responsible for fillings."

While “braces” is a broad word for general orthodontics, there are many types of braces that will affect the cost of which one you decide to go with for your treatment. As with anything, it is important to consider many factors when shopping for the best price. In short the average cost of braces in 2012 is $5,200. While this is the average across the United States, the range stems from $2,500 up to over $9,000 depending on the case. A light case of orthodontics could include closing small gaps on just the upper teeth. In this case braces may be applied to just the uppers and cost significantly less. Many orthodontist prefer not to apply brackets to just one set of teeth as they prefer to keep a close eye on the bite correlation and apply adjustments as needed when teeth move into new positions.

Few people these days have that kind of money laying around to spend on a perfect smile when there are so many other pressing financial needs. Fortunately, you do not have to worry about paying that much money for braces if your insurance covers you for orthodontic work. Here are some tips on how to find out if your health insurance will pay any of the cost of your braces, as well as some other avenues to explore to help you finance your cosmetic dental work. Examine Your Health Insurance Policy Carefully Every policy is different, so just because your sister’s health insurance does not cover braces, it does not mean that your own policy is the same. Some health insurance policies cover orthodontic work only if “medically necessary”—for example, if you are in a car accident and have a broken jaw. Others will cover for children under 18, but not for adults. Generally, in order to have orthodontic coverage you must have dental coverage and this is often a separate policy that may be administered by a different company than your normal health insurance provider. All Dental Insurance is Not Created Equal Be aware that dental plans vary widely on how much they will pay for cosmetic orthodontic work."

Continue Reading Keep Learning What Are the Disadvantages of Nonextraction Orthodontics, and What Are Some Side Effects After Braces? Why Is Popcorn Bad for Braces? How Do You Take Braces Off Your Teeth at Home? Full Answer Gum and braces usually don't mix because the gum has a tendency to stick to the braces, and this can cause the braces to become loose or even pull them off the teeth. In addition, the sugar in gum can get caught behind and around the braces, leading to cavities or dental caries. Patients who must have gum may be able to chew certain types of gum. For example, Wrigley's Extra and Freedent gums may be chewable, but it is important to check with an orthodontist prior to chewing it, as some types of braces are still damaged by the gum even though it is nonstick and sugar free, states Carolina Braces."

"text": "\"Home » Managing Your Money Does Medical Insurance Cover Oral Surgery?by Gregory Hamel Medical insurance is designed to help you cover the cost of necessary health procedures as well as preventative care like doctor's visits and screenings to keep you in good health. The specific procedures and amount of costs covered by health insurance vary greatly from one plan to another. Oral surgery may be covered by medical insurance in some specific cases, but generally it doesn’t cover non-medically necessary procedures. Medical Insurance Coverage Normal medical insurance coverage is focused on providing benefits to keep you in good health and correct problems that threaten your health. Medical insurance typically covers oral surgery that is considered medically necessary to keep you in good health. Examples of oral procedures that may be covered by medical insurance include surgery that involves diseases to the facial bones, physical trauma to the tissue and structures of the face, treatment of jaw disorders and correcting facial deformities. Dental Insurance Surgery and other procedures that deal specifically with teeth are considered dental in nature and are typically not covered by medical insurance, though it depends on your specific policy; some plans may cover a small portion of dental costs. For instance, root canals, fillings, crowns, bridges and the installation of other dental structures to support the teeth are usually covered by dental insurance instead of medical insurance. Dental insurance plans typically pay for 100 percent of routine cleanings and preventative care, but may only cover 80 percent the cost of fillings and root canals and 50 percent of major procedures.

Learn if Medicare covers dental healthby Amy De Vore+ on Jun 15, 2015 | 11 Comments Tweet Dental care is one of those things that we all need to take care of but often wait too long to address - some of us more than others :). Since root canals and bridges and other major services can be pricey, many of our clients want to know if Medicare covers any of the costs of routine dental care. Does Medicare Cover Dental? Original Medicare Part A and B does not cover routine dental visits and procedures such as filling, tooth extractions or dentures. Medicare can cover some expenses for dentistry-related hospitalizations. Most individuals on Medicare select a separate dental plan to address their regular dental needs. Does Medigap Cover Dental? While Medigap plans can cover your Original Medicare deductibles, copays, and coinsurance for dentistry-related hospitalization, generally Medigap does NOT cover dental.

"text": "Home » Resources » Advice from Lynn » How to Afford Braces How to Afford Braces In these tough economic times, it's getting harder and harder to justify the expense of orthodontic braces. If you're lucky enough to have dental insurance which covers orthodontic treatment, you may wind up only paying a small percentage of the total cost. But if you don't have dental insurance, and are not on any sort of dental plan, the expense can be daunting. The average cost for 24 months (2 years) of metal braces is between $3,500 and $7,000, depending upon where you live. Costs are usually higher in urban areas (versus rural areas). There are several things you can do to lower the cost of orthodontic treatment, such as: Call Your Insurance Company - If you have health insurance, it may include dental treatment and possibly also orthodontic treatment. Most health plans don't pay for orthodontic treatment for people over 18 years old, but they do cover children under age 18. Check with your company's benefits administrator, or call your insurance company directly. If you need jaw surgery or other facial surgery, some of that cost may be covered under your medical health plan instead of your dental plan. Work Out a Payment Plan – When you get braces, you usually pay a down payment of anywhere from several hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, and then spread the rest of the expense over one or two years (like a car payment)."

"text": "\"Coral Other than shells and animal teeth, coral was one of the earliest jewelry materials enjoyed by our species. Neolithic amulets in red coral found in digs in Switzerland date back to 8000 BCE. Virtually every cilivization since then, which either lived in proximity to warm shallow seas, or had developed trade routes to such, has made enthusiastic use of this material. Living corals are tiny, colonial, filter-feeding invertebrates which manufacture solid living quarters out of calcium carbonate or protein. It is the collective, vacated homes of previous generations upon which the living coral film grows, and which we harvest and make use of in jewelry and carving. Historically the important gem corals have been divided into \"\"calcareous\"\" (stony) and \"\"proteinaceous\"\" (horny) types. At present, with these two traditional sources becoming scarce and demand, especially for inexpensive bead material driving the market, two other types (\"\"sponge\"\", and \"\"bamboo\"\" corals) are commonly seen. When someone describes a lipstick or a flower as \"\"coral\"\" colored, what comes to mind is a slightly orangey medium red. Traditionally this color, which occurs naturally in the calcareous corals, was the standard by which the group was judged. The globally wide-spread calcareous group is made up of species whose colors range from white, pink, and peach to \"\"coral\"\" red."

Even though every luxury fashion and jewelery brand these days also churns out a couple watches, Cartier actually goes way back in history as an actual watchmaker. For the longest time the stereotypical Cartier watch was what everyone thinks of when you hear Cartier: a square watch with white dial and roman numerals: the Cartier Tank. They still make it, but it’s intentionally classical in design so it’s not really an everyday watch for everyone. With its styling Cartier may be the only brand selling more women’s watches than men’s.. Recently though a lot of exciting things are happening at Cartier: the Calibre de Cartier is a complete departure from a classical dress watch, although it maybe takes it a little too far to end up at a diver watch, still with roman numerals but otherwise really a sports watch. But then the Drive de Cartier happened, earlier this year."

Organizers have not forgotten last year's fog -- and for that reason, they're taking a different approach to scheduling the event -- which is now set for Saturday, July 25th and Sunday, July 26th. \"\" That was only the third time in 27 ½ years that I've ever seen a show go, completely, with no airplanes fly,\"\" said Herb Hunter, Air & Water Show announcer. \"\" If the lake stays cold, into the late spring, and early summer, this year, then it`s a possibility that something like that could happen, again,\"\" said Clark Evans, UW-Milwaukee Assistant Professor of Atmospheric Science. Because we could be in for a cooler-than-usual spring, Air & Water Show organizers have cooked up an avoidance strategy -- scheduling the event more than one month later than last year. \"\" We did move the show to a later date in July to get into more of the drier air, so that's gonna be a factor. So we're planning on 80-degrees and sunshine,\"\" said Paul Rogers, Air & Water Show President. This is the seventh consecutive year for the Milwaukee Air & Water Show -- and its organizers say 2015 is shaping up to be the best year yet in large part because of its headliners. They include the U. S. Air Force Thunderbirds, U. S. Army Golden Knights, Breitling Precision Jet Team and the Aerostars Formation Aerobatic Team.

I still have my Tag Heuer F1 which was given to me 20 years ago and I have only had the battery changed with the seals. It still has not lost any time to my surprice when I compared it to my recently purchased Colt Quartz 2 with a Battery life of 8 years. Also how do you guys clean your watch body/case as it seems to build up dirt after wearing especially on the back. Again in the manual it states regular cleaning by rinsing and brushing in clear water. And others say to use soap Thank you, Jody_________________ Present Watches -Breitling Colt Quartz 2Tag Heuer F1Omega 600 Seamaster Top Roffensian Post subject: Re: Service How Often???

If you dive, especially in hte ocean, then it should be more frequent to ensure that the seals are maintained. In terms of cleaning, plenty of threads on here, but soap / dish soap and water with a soft toothbrush is fine."

THE original, screen-worn Breitling Top Time Geiger counter watch worn by Sean Connery in the 1965 film Thunderball has surfaced! Read the amazing story and see the photos. Bond fan Brian Vinciguerra tells his story of how he was instrumental in this discovery. Also involved were Bond props specialist Ed Maggiani ( The Spy Boys.com ), Pete Harrison and the AJB007.co.uk forum. Brian: \"\"As some might remember, I had posted a thread about recreating the Geiger counter watch from Thunderball. Have no fear, this is going to be a reality…and sooner rather then later. As I may have mentioned, this prop absolutely gripped me as a child. I am not sure what it was about it all, but I simply LOVED the watch given to Bond by Q-Branch. I guess I've always been a big watch fan and this, being the first gadget watch ever given to Bond, holds a place in my heart."

When I was 15 (maybe earlier, I can’t quite remember), I was given a titanium Seiko for Christmas, and I’ve worn it practically every day since. A true workhorse, this thing continues to tick without any problems. But, there are a few reasons why I want to update. One, my particular watch is a bit sportier (or at least has the appearance of being sporty) which makes it tough to wear when I want to dress up. Sure, you could argue, “It doesn’t really matter what you wear on your wrist,” to which I reply, “It’s all in the details, my friend. ”Two, I want to stare at something new. It’s nice to have a little variety. I’m sure I’d continue to wear this Seiko, but at least I’d have a second option. Then I started to think about my Lean Wardrobe philosophy (buy fewer but better when possible, acquire only what you love and will use) and how I don’t want to simply buy another “fashion” watch."

Brands like Rolex don't really release new models, but rather continue to improve on their core collection over time. Models like the Submariner and Datejust have been around for generations. Other brands also keep tradition alive by continuing to offer modern versions of designs that have proved successful for many years. To recognize and help suggest those watches which are \"\"living legends\"\" we've come up with a list of the top 10 worth owning. To be clear, to be a living legend, a watch must have historic roots and still be produced today. We know we couldn't include them all so mention your favorites in the comments below.1. Rolex Submariner It was 1954 that Rolex originally released the Submariner, and the watch industry hasn't been the same since. The Submariner was never released as a luxury product, but rather a professional diver's watch that anyone could enjoy. It attained a cult status for being a damn good sports watch and later in the 1980s when the mechanical watch gained a more luxury status and Rolex began its long path to become the world's most desirable luxury timepiece brand."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Slide rule (disambiguation). A typical ten-inch student slide rule (Pickett N902-T simplex trig)The slide rule, also known colloquially in the United States as a slipstick, [1] [2] is a mechanical analog computer. [ 3] [4] [5] [6] [7] The slide rule is used primarily for multiplication and division, and also for functions such as exponents, roots, logarithms and trigonometry, but typically not for addition or subtraction. Though similar in name and appearance to a standard ruler, the slide rule is not meant to be used for measuring length or drawing straight lines. Slide rules exist in a diverse range of styles and generally appear in a linear or circular form with a standardized set of markings (scales) essential to performing mathematical computations. Slide rules manufactured for specialized fields such as aviation or finance typically feature additional scales that aid in calculations common to those fields. At its simplest, each number to be multiplied is represented by a length on a sliding ruler. As the rulers each have a logarithmic scale, it is possible to align them to read the sum of the logarithms, and hence calculate the product, of the two numbers. The Reverend William Oughtred and others developed the slide rule in the 17th century based on the emerging work on logarithms by John Napier. Before the advent of the electronic calculator, it was the most commonly used calculation tool in science and engineering."

( Credit: James Baigrie/Getty Images)By Dr. Crystal Agi A chemical derived from broccoli sprout could help treat symptoms of autism, according to a new study from Johns Hopkins and Harvard hospitals. The study authors say it is an \"\"intriguing\"\" first step that could lead to a better life for those with autism spectrum disorders, which affect one in 68 children in the United States and currently have no cure or medical treatment. \"\" If you tell people that you've treated autism with broccoli, they would say that that is a very far-fetched idea,\"\" said study author Dr. Paul Talalay, a professor of pharmacology and molecular sciences at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Talalay and his team treated 40 autistic boys and men with autism over 18 weeks. Twenty-six of them took pills with sulforaphane, a broccoli sprout extract, and the rest received a placebo. Study authors found that patients who took sulforaphane improved. Almost half of the patients treated with sulforaphane had \"\"much improved\"\" or \"\"very much improved\"\" social interaction and verbal communication, and more than half exhibited less aberrant behavior. When the patients stopped taking the extract, they returned to baseline levels for these symptoms within four weeks. Those who took the placebo did not show any improvement, according to the study."

"text": "Can You Eat Too Much Cauliflower?by SHARON PERKINS Oct. 03, 2017Cauliflower belongs to the group of vegetables called cruciferous or brassica vegetables which includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, rutabaga and turnips, among others. Cauliflower doesn't rank among America's favorite vegetables; Americans consumed just 2 lbs. per year, on average, in 2003, according to Veg Online. Like almost any food, cauliflower consumed in excess can have side effects, some potentially serious and some merely annoying -- and odorous. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Iodine Absorption and Cauliflower Cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower can interfere with iodine absorption if you eat too much of them. Since iodine plays an essential role in thyroid functioning -- it's why salt has added iodine -- low iodine levels can lead to hypothyroidism. Cruciferous vegetables contain cyanogenic glucosides, sugar-like molecules that block iodine absorption when you digest them. When you have low iodine levels, the thyroid enlarges so it can trap more iodine, a condition known as a goiter. Hypothyroidism, characterized by decreased metabolism, cold sensitivity, dry hair and skin, difficulty thinking and weight gain may occur if you eat a diet consisting almost entirely of cruciferous vegetables.

"text": "\"Do Certain Foods Reduce Estrogen Dominance?by TRACI JOY Aug. 14, 2017Estrogen dominance occurs when estrogen is in the body at a much higher level than other sex hormones, mainly progesterone. The increased level can be the result of excess estrogen production or storage, or a drop in the level of progesterone. Symptoms of estrogen dominance are obesity (with fat accumulating in the mid-section), fibrocystic breasts and ovaries, menstrual irregularity, headaches and often breast cancer. With these unwanted side effects of estrogen dominance, many look for natural ways to combat it. One way to help control the level of estrogen in the body is through the diet. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Fiber One of the first nutritional changes you should make to fight estrogen dominance is to up your fiber intake. Dr. Ronald Hoffman of New York states that a high fiber diet will decrease blood estrogen levels. Since excess estrogen leaves the body by way of the bowel, if stool remains in the colon the estrogen will be reabsorbed. Some foods that are high in fiber and make great additions to the diet are celery, apples, berries, oatmeal, nuts and seeds and any kind of bean. Flax Seed Add flax seed to your diet."

This information is to supplement your knowledge of dietary factors that may influence your disease. Evidence based care is something we in medicine always seek. It means that each treatment we select is carefully measured with evidence to be sure that it is helpful. With medications, in particular, we insist that the benefit strongly outweigh the risk. However, there are many areas of medicine where the final data is just not there, so physicians do the best they can, using the available research as a guide and always assessing any downside risk to a particular treatment. Diet for ulcerative colitis falls into this uncertain area because the disorder is an inflammatory one of the colon. This is where the fiber and food residue we eat ends up. Is it not possible that the foods we eat or don’t eat may be part of the problem? Studying this is difficult because animal and plant food contain hundreds, no, thousands of different chemicals."

"text": "\"Broccoli supplements: Could be better but still effective? By Stephen Daniells12-Dec-2011 - Last updated on 16-Dec-2011 at 09:27 GMTRecent studies have questioned the ability of broccoli supplements to deliver potential cancer-preventing compounds, but the situation may not be so clear cut, and the supplements are not ineffective, according to industry experts. The tissue of cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, contain high levels of the plant chemicals glucosinolates. These are metabolized by the body into isothiocyanates (such as sulforaphane), which have been suggested to be powerful anti-cancer agents. When eaten as a raw or lightly-cooked food, an enzyme called myrosinase in the broccoli help to break down the glucosinolates into two valuable compounds of intensive research interest – sulforaphane and erucin. The only sources we have for this enzyme is from the plant itself, or from our own microflora. Tony Talalay, CEO at Brassica Protection Products LLC, which sells broccoli sprouts and broccoli seed extracts, told Nutra Ingredients-USA that the epidemiological data for the potential benefits of broccoli consumption is “really quite strong” . Data from Johns Hopkins has shown that there is a great deal of variation in the chemoprotective effects between broccoli types, he said. “Eating fresh sprouts is the best way to deliver this system.” From sprout to supplement However, it is well established that many processing techniques inactivate myrosinase ( Food and Chemical Toxicology , Dec. 2011, Vol."

"text": "Reducing Symptoms of Gastritis and Ulcers through Diet Print Eating a smart diet can help calm abdominal pain The uncomfortable abdominal pain of gastritis and ulcers often comes on after eating. And that's why doctors typically focus on eliminating offending foods from the diet to help treat these conditions. But what if eating certain foods actually helped to relieve your symptoms? That just may be the case, according to new research and accumulated wisdom about the effects certain foods have on your stomach. Food as Medicine Gastritis and ulcers are most often caused by an infection with Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ), which increases the stomach's sensitivity to acid-mediated injury by decreasing cells' ability to protect against it. It follows, then, that the most effective foods to combat the symptoms of gastritis and ulcers are those that either fight the H. pylori infection or reduce the acidity in your stomach. Research suggests that at least two foods—broccoli sprouts and yogurt—can cool the fires of gastritis and ulcers by directly inhibiting H. pylori growth in your gut. Broccoli sprouts. A chemical in broccoli sprouts known as sulforaphane has an antibacterial effect on H. pylori. Broccoli sprouts are three- to four-day-old broccoli plants that look like alfalfa sprouts and taste like radishes."

"text": "Health Benefits of Broccoli: Nutritional Value Beyond Vitamins Not only is lightly steamed broccoli tasty, it is also extremely good for you. Broccoli – whether eaten steamed or raw – offers a wide array of health benefits and great nutritional value to those who incorporate this super healthy vegetable into their diets. Not only is raw broccoli loaded with vitamins C, K and B9, it is also a very good dietary source of carotene, potassium and sulforaphane. In this article, we delve into the proven health benefits of broccoli in detail. Benefits for the Skin Eating broccoli is a great way to give your skin a health boost. Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamin C, with one cup of chopped raw broccoli providing a whopping 135% of the daily value for vitamin C. Researchers have associated a low intake of vitamin C with dry and wrinkled skin. The ability of foods rich in vitamin C, such as broccoli, to prevent wrinkles is linked to the role vitamin C plays in collagen production and in the antioxidant system of the body. In addition to vitamin C, broccoli delivers several other nutrients that offer benefits for the skin: carotene and coenzyme Q10 provide additional antioxidant protection, while alpha lipoic acid helps prevent the hardening of collagen. Broccoli Fights Cancer Research suggests that eating broccoli may prevent estrogen from stimulating the growth of breast cancer cells. It might also help reduce the risk of lung and colon cancers in humans, thanks to the high amounts of sulforaphane it provides."

Vegetables provide energy, vitamins, minerals and fibre and there is growing evidence of additional health benefits from a range of phytonutrients. Some vegetables contain higher levels of carbohydrate and are often called starchy vegetables. These are usually roots and tubers (see vegetable classifications) such as potatoes, yams, kumara, taro and sweet corn. The starchy vegetables are higher in energy (kilojoules) because of their carbohydrate content. Other vegetables are classified as non-starchy. Non-starchy vegetables tend to have a higher water content, and are lower in energy but often richer in vitamins and minerals. Aim to make half your dinner vegetables and choose a range of different coloured vegetables. About one-quarter of the plate should be starchy foods for energy."

"text": "27 Top Cancer-Fighting Foodstweet email 489By: Melissa Breyer February 22, 2011About Melissa One of the easiest and most effective ways to promote good health and to help protect against cancer is with your diet. The American Cancer society estimates that one third of all American cancer deaths might be diet-related. The conclusion is really pretty simple: kick cancer-loving food to the curb; embrace healthful food. The foods on this list, prepared by the Cancer Cure Foundation, have the ability to help stave off cancer and some can even help inhibit cancer cell growth or reduce tumor size. The list is not complete–there are other anti-cancer edibles–but this features the all-stars and is an excellent starting point. Vegetables Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower have a chemical component called indole-3-carbinol that can combat breast cancer by converting a cancer-promoting estrogen into a more protective variety. Broccoli, especially sprouts, also have the phytochemical sulforaphane, a product of glucoraphanin–believed to aid in preventing some types of cancer, like colon and rectal cancer. Sulforaphane induces the production of certain enzymes that can deactivate free radicals and carcinogens. The enzymes have been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors in tests. However, be aware that the Agriculture Department studied 71 types of broccoli plants and found a 30-fold difference in the amounts of glucoraphanin."

"text": "Black Radish Side Effectsby ALICIA RICHARDSON Oct. 03, 2017Black radish, or Raphinus sativus L. var. niger, is a round, white-fleshed, dark-purple-skinned radish. As a member of the cabbage family, black radish contains the same cancer-protective compounds found in broccoli, Brussels sprouts and other members of this large group of temperate-zone vegetables. However, the same chemoprotective substances also have adverse side effects. Anti-Thyroid or Goitrogenic Black radish, and all members of the cabbage family -- broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, kale, mustard, turnip and red radish -- can cause goiter because they all contain glucosinolates. Glucosinolates are modified amino acids. Goiter is the enlargement of the thyroid gland due to iodine deficiency. When radish is chopped or chewed, glucosinolates break down into isothiocyanate, oxazalidine-2-thione, nitrite and thiocyanate ion. Isothiocyanates, oxazalidine-2-thione and isothiocyanate ion can cause goiter, by interfering with the production and secretion of essential thyroid hormones. Without these hormones, the body's ability to burn and use energy is jeopardized."

Even foods that are good for your diet and your health (often referred to as \"\"superfoods\"\") can cause things to happen to your body that are a little weird or uncomfortable. Most of the articles, news stories, and books that are written about superfoods include glowing accounts of their nutritional value and potential health benefits. Those are all real and good things, of course, but there are also some possible unusual side effects you may encounter when you consume large amounts of some of these foods. These side effects are harmless, but they might make you a little nervous, or even scare you if you're not expecting them to happen. Asparagus Pee Asparagus contains sulfurous chemical compounds that give your urine an unusual odor. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it's relatively common. It happens quickly, too, so if you've eaten asparagus and you haven't smelt something funny the next time you pee, you're not one of the lucky ones who have this reaction. Aside from the unusual odor, asparagus is good for you. It's low in calories, high in fiber, iron, folate, and vitamins A and C. It's even possible the compounds in asparagus can help your liver break down the byproducts of drinking too much alcohol – as long as you eat the asparagus before you go out drinking."

Major components in cabbage family vegetables include I3C, DIM, D-glucarate, and sulforaphane. DIM, or 3,4-Diindolylmethane, is good for both men and women. In women it supports healthy, balanced estrogen levels and decreases levels of \"\"bad estrogen\"\". In men, DIM is known to eliminate active estrogens from the body by promoting its conversion to the \"\"good\"\" metabolites. These metabolites free testosterone by breaking it off the testosterone-binding proteins. The result is a healthier testosterone to estrogen ratio and leads to more free testosterone circulating in the body. D-glucarate has been shown in more than 20 experimental animal and in vitro studies to significantly inhibit cancer. Sulforaphane is known to improve the liver's ability to detoxify carcinogens and other toxic compounds, increasing its ability to cleanse and counteracting the effects of exposure to internal and external pollutants. It has been recently studied for its protective effects against UV exposure and reduction of sun damage to the skin.125mg sprout extract = an average 4 ounce serving of fresh broccoli!Broccoli is a good source of Glutathione."

One spider in Kentucky that is potentially dangerous is the brown recluse, sometimes referred to as the violin or fiddleback spider because of the violin-shaped marking on its dorsum. Although bites are rare, the venom can cause serious wounds and infestations should be taken seriously. Distribution and Diagnosis The brown recluse spider, Loxosceles reclusa, is found throughout the south central and midwestern United States. Infestations in Kentucky are intermittent, becoming more common as one travels westward. Other species of Loxosceles spiders occur in the southwestern U. S. and southern California, but the brown recluse is the most notable and widespread. Recluse spiders are rare outside their native range and are widely over-reported.

Wolf Spiders are large, hairy spiders which are usually patterned with a mixture of black, gray, and brown. Wolf spiders, especially large ones, look very similar to spiders in the Pisauridae family ( nursery web and fishing spiders ), but wolf spiders are usually more robust, with shorter legs. Wolf spiders have 8 eyes. As with all spiders, wolf spiders have 8 legs, 2 body parts (cephalothorax and abdomen), and fang-like mouthparts called \"\"chelicerae. \"\" Typical Wolf Spider (R.

"text": "Where Do Brown Recluse Spiders Live? Because brown recluse spiders are solitary and secretive, it can prove difficult to locate their dwellings. Almost any dark, undisturbed area can serve as harborage for brown recluse spiders. In their natural habitat, these spiders can be found beneath rocks and logs. However, human-altered environments provide better conditions to brown recluse spiders than these natural settings. Brown recluse spiders may live in the following locations: boxes, clothing, shoes, furniture, bedding, rubber tires and other dry, dark, warm locations. Storage areas such as closets, basements and cellars are commonly inhabited. Because of their high reproductive potential, it is more common to find many of these spiders than to find just one. Geographic Range Presently, the known range of the brown recluse spider habitat ( Loxosceles reclusa) extends from Nebraska to Ohio and across the south from Texas to Florida. It is native to the United States, unlike other pest spiders such as the brown widow or yellow sac spider."

Many bites attributed to spiders turn out to have been inflicted by other bugs. Skin infections also have been mistaken for spider bites. Only a few types of spiders have fangs long enough to penetrate human skin and venom strong enough to severely affect a human being. In the United States, these include the black widow spider and the brown recluse spider. Black widow spider bites can cause severe abdominal pain or cramping. Brown recluse spider bites can cause a sting or sharp pain, like a bee sting. With severe bites, surrounding skin may die within a few hours. Both types of spiders generally live in undisturbed areas, such as attics or sheds. And they don't bite unless threatened."

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."

[ 1-3] Diagnoses are most commonly made by clinical appearance and infrequently is a spider seen, captured or identified at the time of the bite. [ 1, 2, 4-6] The brown recluse lives in a circumscribed area of the U. S. (the south central Midwest) with a few less common recluse species living in the more sparsely-populated southwest U. S. [7] In these areas, where spider populations may be dense, recluse spiders may be a cause of significant morbidity. However, outside the natural range of these recluse species, the conviction that they are the etiological agents behind necrotic lesions of unknown origin is widespread, and most often erroneous. In some states such as California, unsubstantiated reports concerning recluse spider bites have taken on the status of \"\"urban legend\"\" leading to overdiagnosis and, therefore, inappropriate treatment. Natural History General information regarding recluse spider life history characteristics has been published. [ 7-9] Recluse spiders, as their names imply, are rather secretive in their habits. They are nocturnal spiders that actively attack prey and subdue it with venom. Although they don't use silk for prey capture, they do use it to line their diurnal refugia. In nature they are found under rocks and in crevices and are considered \"\"synanthropic\"\" meaning their populations benefit when associated with humans."

So how do we do spider identification and how many types of spiders are out there? Before we go on to spider identification and discussing the types of spiders, we must first define what are spiders in the first place. Types of Spiders – What are Spiders? Spiders are arthropods which breathe air. They have eight legs and inject venom through their chelicerae. They are of the order Araneae and are the largest in the order of arachnids. In the world, they are seventh in the rank of total diversity of the species among all other organism groups."

All spiders have eight legs, no wings, and only two body parts: a thorax and an abdomen. They also all have fangs and enough venom to kill the insects that make up their diet. But only a handful of spiders have fangs and venom that can penetrate human skin — including the brown recluse spider, hobo spider, camel spider, wolf spider, black widow spider, and banana spider. Most spiders are harmless and will bite only if they feel threatened. But depending on the spider and its victim, spider bites can cause anything from mild itching and redness to a reaction that becomes a medical emergency. Here’s detailed info on some common spiders and their bites.2 / 13 The Brown Recluse Spider The brown recluse spider gets its name from its habit of living in dark corners inside or outside homes, such as in woodpiles, closets, attics, and basements. This spider is more common in areas that have warm and dry climates, like the south and central areas of the United States. The brown recluse is about a half-inch to an inch long, is light brown in color, and has a violin-shaped mark on its back. The distinctive mark gives the spider these other nicknames: the violin spider or fiddleback spider.3 / 13 The Brown Recluse Spider Bite The brown recluse spider’s venom may cause burning pain and itching within several hours after a bite."

Credit: Rick Vetter The brown recluse spider is well-known for its appearance and poisonous bite. It is the most common and widespread of the brown spiders, but it is found only in the south and central United States. Brown recluse spiders live in a region comprising Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama and parts of Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska. According to the entomology department at the University of California, Riverside, if you do not live in those areas, \"\"it is highly unlikely that you have a recluse spider. It is possible but incredibly unlikely. \"\" This map shows the range of different species of recluse spiders, including the brown recluse (reclusa, in red); Texas recluse (devia, in yellow); Big Bend recluse (blanda, in green); Apache recluse (apachea, in light blue); Arizona recluse (arizonica, in blue); and desert recluse (deserta, in purple). Credit: University of California, Riverside Appearance The brown recluse is part of the Loxosceles genus of spiders. Members of this group have violin-shaped markings on the top of their cephalothorax (fused head and thorax) and may be informally referred to as fiddleback or violin spiders, according to The Ohio State University Extension Entomology Department. The brown recluse's violin marking can vary in intensity depending on the age of the spider, with mature spiders typically having dark violin shapes, according to The Ohio State University."

"text": "The Carolina Wolf Spider The Carolina Wolf Spider was named South Carolina’s official state spider in 2000. Identifying the Carolina Wolf Spider Also known as the Giant Carolina Wolf Spider, the Carolina Wolf Spider is the largest wolf spider in North America and is one of the largest of the 2,200+ species of wolf spiders found worldwide. This 3-inch to 4-inch terrestrial spider lives across the U. S. and southern Canada and, like other wolf spiders, has eight eyes that are arranged in three rows. The bottom row has four small eyes, the middle row has two very large eyes, and the top row has two medium-sized eyes. You can use their eyes to find them at night because their eyes reflect light well. A great way of finding them is with a flashlight held at eye level to reflect light back from their eyes directly toward yours. Identification can be tricky, but look for a gray-brown body with a dark center stripe on the abdomen, long, hairy legs; and eight large, dark eyes of unequal size. Because they depend on camouflage for protection, they do not have the flashy appearance of some other kinds of spider and their coloration generally blends with their habitat. Wolf spiders are thought to look similar to brown recluses and are often killed because they resemble these dangerous spiders. With a little practice, it is easy to tell the difference between the two."

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."

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial About Brussels Sprouts Brussels sprouts can provide you with some special cholesterol-lowering benefits if you will use a steaming method when cooking them. The fiber-related components in Brussels sprouts do a better job of binding together with bile acids in your digestive tract when they've been steamed. When this binding process takes place, it's easier for bile acids to be excreted, and the result is a lowering of your cholesterol levels. Raw Brussels sprouts still have cholesterol-lowering ability — just not as much as steamed Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts may have unique health benefits in the area of DNA protection. A recent study has shown improved stability of DNA inside of our white blood cells after daily consumption of Brussels sprouts in the amount of 1.25 cups. Interestingly, it's the ability of certain compounds in Brussels sprouts to block the activity of sulphotransferase enzymes that researchers believe to be responsible for these DNA-protective benefits. For total glucosinolate content, Brussels sprouts are now known to top the list of commonly eaten cruciferous vegetables. Their total glucosinolate content has been shown to be greater than the amount found in mustard greens, turnip greens, cabbage, kale, cauliflower, or broccoli. In Germany, Brussels sprouts account for more glucosinolate intake than any other food except broccoli."

For a start, Brussels sprouts have far higher protein content, than most vegetables and when you add together with all the vitamins and minerals that they contain, you get some very good reasons to include them in your diet. So, put aside your childhood nightmares of Brussels sprouts, check out their health benefits, and give them another chance, you might be pleased that you did.1. They can protect your DNAOur list of health benefits of Brussels sprouts starts with DNA protection. In recent studies, it has been found that some of the compounds found in Brussels sprouts can improve the stability of your DNA. These compounds block the harmful activity of enzymes called sulphotransferase enzymes, which can be detrimental to the stability of DNA in white blood cells.2. Provide cardiovascular support Another one of great health benefits of Brussels sprouts is that brussels sprouts have the ability to control inflammation and even reverse damage in the blood vessels. This is due to the compound the isothiocyanate sulforaphane, which is made from glucosinolates, contained in the vegetable, and this can help to prevent heart attacks.3. They are a healthy source of fibre We need fibre in our diet to regulate our digestion and protect the health of the colon. Brussles sprouts are a good source of this fibre and a 100 gram serving will provide 4 grams of fibre that is 15% the recommended daily intake for women.4."

"text": "\"What's New and Beneficial About Brussels Sprouts?0November 16, 2014 • 229,313 views Edition: English Previous Next Story at-a-glance Brussels sprouts help activate cancer-fighting enzyme systems in your body Brussels sprouts help support both Phase 1 and Phase 2 detoxification Eating more Brussels sprouts may support your heart health and lower your risk of cancer and chronic inflammation Brussels sprouts still attached to the stalk may be fresher and often cost less By Dr. Mercola Brussels sprouts have been voted as the most-hated vegetable in both the US and Britain, 1 perhaps because they can be notoriously smelly. But the offensive odor only occurs when these nutritional powerhouses are overcooked – something you definitely want to avoid to preserve both their flavor and nutrients. Further, that odor comes from a type of glucosinolate, a sulfur-containing compound that is responsible for some pretty impressive health benefits, including fighting cancer. So the next time you're thinking of turning your nose up at these much-maligned veggies, you might want to give them a chance instead. Low in Calories and Packed with Nutrition Brussels sprouts are an ideal food if you're looking for something that's hearty yet low in calories. One cup of cooked Brussels sprouts contains just 56 calories but is packed with more than 240 percent of the recommended daily amount (RDA) for vitamin K1, and nearly 130 percent of the RDA for vitamin C. Plus, Brussels sprouts are a good source of fiber, manganese, potassium, choline, and B vitamins. They even contain protein. But not only do Brussels sprouts contain well-known antioxidants like vitamin C…They also contain others that are much less known – but equally as important, like kaempferol, isorhamnetin, caffeic, and ferulic acids, and the relatively rare sulfur-containing compound called D3T (3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione). This means that when you eat Brussels sprouts, you're helping your body to ward off chronic oxidative stress, which is a risk factor for many types of cancer and other chronic diseases. You can steam Brussels sprouts and toss them with olive oil, Parmesan cheese, or butter."

"text": "6 Benefits of Brussels Sprouts and (How to Make Them Taste Delicious)Last updated on October 4, 2017 By Astrid Leave a Comment Let’s see, you are probably one of two teams when it comes to thinking about the health benefits of brussels sprouts: You love them and eat them frequently Or you feel absolutely repulsed by the thought of them and don’t even know how you ended up reading this article Statistically speaking, you are more likely part of team B. According to a 2008 survey by Heinz shows that brussels sprouts make it to the top five in surveys of the most-hated vegetables around the world. But give me a few minutes and by the end of this article, I’ll most likely convince you to try them… and who knows you may just love them after that!Here’s why: Brussels have been getting a lot of attention lately, because of their health benefits besides being a low-calorie food. I usually buy organic sprouts at the regular market or grown them myself during the summer, and we consume them regularly. Most nutritionists and food experts refer to them as a natural multivitamin– like many vegetables, and they are truly one of the healthiest foods in the pyramid. But I understand…They have a strong smell, may taste bitter for some and a have distinct taste. Some describe them as slimy, smelly green creatures and you don’t want to try them. I get it, but I am going to tell you why you should them at least once anyway (I have a secret I’ll share so keep on reading…)The Benefits of Brussel Sprouts Brussel sprouts are green small cabbage looking with a very big nutrient profile! Furthermore, few other foods pack the same amount of Vitamin K, Vitamin C, nutrients per cup. Natto (fermented soy) and Kale are up there, but they are often more dreaded than the lovely sprouts. Eating real food can be expensive, but brussels sprouts are a noteworthy exception!"

"text": "How To Grow Brussels Sprouts Brussels Sprouts By: Heather Rhoades Printer Friendly Version Image by Lars Plougmann Brussels sprouts ( Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera) have gotten a bad rap. These nutritious, flavor packed cole crops have been vilified in children’s books and TV. But these miniature cabbage looking vegetables are extremely tasty if eaten freshly picked. And the best way to get them freshest is by growing Brussels sprouts in your garden. How Do You Grow Brussels Sprouts? The basic way how to grow Brussels sprouts is much like how you would grow cabbage or kale. Brussels sprouts are a cole crop and like many vegetables in that group, they grow better in cool temperatures. Because Brussels sprouts take so long to mature, your best bet is to plant them in midsummer summer so that they reach full maturity in the cool fall months. Plan to put them in your garden about 3 months before the first frost for your area."

"text": "Before I became vegan, the only thing I knew about Brussels sprouts was that most people hated them. They were the vegetable most commonly shown on TV shows as being hidden under napkins or fed to the dog under the table (and then the dog would refuse them too). So I just assumed I didn’t like them either, without ever having tasted them. When I finally did try Brussels sprouts, I had cooked them myself and they were amazing. I asked my husband, who also swore he hated them yet was fighting me for the last one, and he said he had only ever had them steamed or boiled. No wonder he never liked them. Brussels sprouts get a bad rap for being a veggie that people have to be forced to eat, but it’s so unfair. These tiny cabbages are not only cute, but they are extremely healthy and really delicious when they are prepared properly. It’s high time these misunderstood sprouts got some positive publicity. With the right recipes and cooking techniques, you just might find that you love Brussels sprouts , and like me, you’ll be fighting for the last one on the plate.1."

"text": "Three Reasons You Should be Eating Brussel Sprouts Fitday Editor Nutrition Healthy Eating Brussel sprouts are a cultivated bunch of wild cabbage that are selected for their leafy and small green buds, green buds which commonly just look like mini cabbages. Brussel sprouts are a long-storied vegetable because their forerunners have been around since Ancient Rome, where they were already cultivated at that time. Unsurprisingly, the modern version of Brussel sprouts as they are known today began to be grown in Belgium, sometime in the 13th century. While you may not enjoy this vegetable taste-wise, it is important that you eat more Brussel sprouts in your diet . Here is an upcoming list of the three reasons you should be eating Brussel sprouts.1. Sulforaphane If you are concerned about getting cancer or merely concerned with warding it off, you will want to learn everything you can about sulforaphane. It is a chemical that is thought to contain anti-cancer properties, and this is thought because of research and studies establishing a link between this chemical and anti-cancer properties. Interestingly, Brussel sprouts are not the only vegetable that are thought to feature this amazing chemical; other brassicas like broccoli have properties that exhibit sulforaphane also. If you want your Brussel sprouts to feature high levels of this chemical, be sure not to boil them. Instead, steam, stir-fy or microwave your Brussel sprouts, as these cooking methods do not cause a big loss of the anti-cancer effect of sulforaphane.2."

"text": "\"Wednesday, May 22, 2013Yes, You Can Roast Frozen Vegetables. Yes, They're Delish. Good commercially frozen, organic if possible, frozen vegetables have a lot going for them. They're as nutritious as fresh, if not more so since they're frozen quickly after picking, they're convenient, and quite often they're significantly less expensive than fresh, especially in the winter when the vegetables often look carsick from their long trip from the farm. At this time of year, there still isn't too much local in the farm markets, and even though it is certainly spring, there isn't local abundance yet. Plus, if you are a vegetable eater in a household of picky eaters, sometimes a frozen veg is only way to get any variety on the table without having to toss a lot of uneaten fresh food. Makes eating well way easier. Personally, I happen to like Brussels sprouts and asparagus year-round, even though they both have definite seasons. So I buy bags of organic frozen asparagus and Brussels sprouts at the grocery store. Eating frozen lets me eat out of season, without resorting to eating produce shipped halfway around the world."

"text": "\"Home Recipes In Season Guide to Brussels Sprouts Photo: Oxmoor House This vegetable has a reputation for bitterness, but when properly cooked, sprouts offer complex flavor with a subtle crunch. August 15, 2008SEASON: Although readily available almost year-round, the peak season is from September to mid-February. CHOOSING: The best-tasting, most tender sprouts are only 1 to 11⁄2 inches in diameter—the smaller the head, the sweeter the taste. They should be compact, firm, and green, with minimal nicks and torn or yellowing leaves. Try to choose sprouts of similar size so they’ll cook evenly. STORING: Remove any damaged or loose outer leaves, and store in a produce bag in the coldest part of your refrigerator. Although they’ll last a couple of weeks, try to cook them as soon as possible; their flavor will start to become unpleasantly strong after three or four days. GROWING: A cool-weather vegetable, Brussels sprouts require three months to mature. It’s best to plant in summer for harvest in the fall. They can also be planted in early spring, about a month before the last frost, for harvest in early summer."

"text": "While hitting up the farmer's market for Thanksgiving brussels sprouts this weekend, we got a tip from the stand owner that made us add a few extra pounds onto our purchase. Here's what he told us... Brussels sprouts will keep for quite a while once they've been picked - at least several weeks and into the New Year. This was good news to us since we're big fans of sprouts and mourn the brevity of their appearance at the farmer's market right before it closes. Go ahead and take the sprouts off the stalk, but leave all their outer leaves intact. Store them in the fridge in a bowl or unlidded storage container. The outer leaves will shrivel and wilt in the open air, but the inner ( and yummy!) part of the sprout will remain protected. Remove those outer leaves before cooking.

"text": "Advanced The Budgie’s Diet Seed – Your budgie’s diet staple should be a fortified seed mix. A seed mix for budgies, normally labeled for “parakeets”, should contain mostly millet, canary seed, and oat groats. The mix should be fortified with vitamins and minerals. Some seed mixes come with extra additives such as dried fruits or veggies, pellets, and other types of seed. These extra ingredients are acceptable, but budgies often don’t touch these extra ingredients. Any added seeds or nuts much larger than an oat groat will probably be too big for your budgie to try and eat. Furthermore, any dried fruits or veggies in the seed mix are no substitute for the fresh foods you must feed your budgie every day (see below). Some seed mixes add colors to the seeds. Avoid any mixes that use artificial colors (natural colorants, such as beat juice, are acceptable). Keep the seed fresh by keeping it sealed in an air-tight container."

Do I need to do anything for her? Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Leave the egg with her! She is sexually active for some reason, and is likely to keep laying till she has a full clutch, which could be 6 eggs or so. Even though they are infertile, leave them there and let her sit on them till she is done, because if you remove them she might just keep laying eggs and that leaches calcium from her bones. If she keeps on laying, she could become eggbound or her legs and wings could break! If you are not feeding her a good pelleted ration, she needs extra calcium in her diet."

It is important to understand the most commonly encountered diseases and conditions of these popular little birds, in order to be able to properly diagnose and treat them. I think that sometimes veterinarians underestimate the attachment that owners have to these little, personable birds that often become members of the family. We should provide them the same diagnostics and level of care that we would the owner of a macaw or an Amazon parrot. To many budgie and cockatiel owners, their birds are true members of the family and they are willing to have any necessary diagnostics performed, and have any required treatments administered. Do not compromise the quality of care offered to the smaller birds. The budgerigar, Melopsittacus undulatus, is a fascinating little psittacine with well-deserved popularity due to its small size and big personality. Budgies are also commonly referred to as parakeets, and while they are members of the parakeet group, to prevent confusion, it is probably best to refer to them as budgies. ( Other types of parakeets include the Quaker or monk parakeet, the ringneck parakeet and the Alexandrine parakeet, to name a few). The budgie is the best known of all parrots, and has found its way to virtually every country in the world."

These small parrots are native to Australia, and are closely related to cockatoos.2. What bird food should I provide for my cockatiel? Good bird foods to feed cockatiels are a teaspoon of bird seed along with a formulated cockatiel food (pellets) and sprouted seed, supplemented by healthy vegetables and healthy table foods (e.g., whole-wheat bread, pasta, plain mashed sweet potato, and small bits of fruit.)3.

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Good lord, yes! Most parrot species are messy eaters. A budgie diet usually consists of at least a few seeds, which means seed hulls get blown around. All birds also give off dander or \"\"bird dust\"\" which is a byproduct of both feather sheathes during a molt and the bird's skin; the amount varies from bird to bird. Birds will also go through molts (replacing their feathers) one to two times a year, meaning that you will have little down feathers blowing about as well.

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The cage should be big enough for the budgie to not only fully turn around and spread out their wings, but to fly from one side to another - a absolute minimum of 18x18x24.. Buy the biggest cage you can afford. Horizontal bars because budgies love to climb! Width is more important than height as budgies fly horizontally. Bar spacing should be no wider than 1/2 inch so that the budgie doesn't get their head stuck between the bars. Their heads are smaller than they look! No round cages - a budgie doesn't feel safe in a round cage - there is no back wall to retreat to. A good size rectangular cage is best - the palace shape or house shapes actually restrict the room the budgie has to fly and play and create a mess of poop and food the others do not. So to answer your question, I would say this cage is a fine size for one budgie.

Some cages cater for tame birds by allowing the front to open up, which makes it easier to get the bird in and out when it is on your hand. Most cages come with either plastic or wooden dowel perches, which force the budgie to always have it’s feet in the same position.

In the latter case, the Parakeet is sometimes isolated in a tribe of its own, the Melopsittacini, although it is probably quite closely related to Pezoporus and Neophema. Though Parakeets are often called Parakeets, especially in American English, this term refers to any of a number of small Parrots with long flat tails. The Parakeet is found throughout the drier parts of Australia and has survived in the inlands of that continent for over 5 million years. Parakeet Etymology Dilly, Ladies Man Several possible origins for the English name Parakeet have been proposed: * A compound of budgery, \"\"good\"\" and gar \"\"Cockatoo\"\". Parakeet means \"\"good eating\"\" or \"\"good food\"\" in some Australian Aboriginal languages. This is supported by the Oxford English Dictionary. The word budgery itself, also spelt boojery, was formerly in use in Australian English slang meaning \"\"good\"\". * An alteration of Gamilaraay gidjirrigaa, possibly influenced by the slang word budgery mentioned above."

It is the world's largest toad. It is a member of the genus Rhinella, but was formerly in the genus Bufo, which includes many different true toad species found throughout Central and South America. The cane toad is a prolific breeder; females lay single-clump spawns with thousands of eggs. Its reproductive success is partly because of opportunistic feeding: it has a diet, unusual among anurans, of both dead and living matter. Adults average 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in) in length; the largest recorded specimen had a snout-vent length of 24 cm (9.4 in). [ 5]The cane toad is an old species. A fossil toad (specimen UCMP 41159) from the La Venta fauna of the late Miocene of Colombia is indistinguishable from modern cane toads from northern South America.

Venomous mammals are animals of the class Mammalia that produce venom, which they use to kill or disable prey, or to defend themselves from predators or conspecifics. In modern nature, venomous mammals are rare. Mammalian venoms form a heterogeneous group having different compositions and modes of action and are present in three orders of mammals, Eulipotyphla, Monotremata, and Chiroptera. A fourth order, Primates, is proposed to have venomous representatives. [ 1] To explain the rarity of venom delivery in Mammalia, Mark Dufton of the University of Strathclyde has suggested that modern mammalian predators do not need venom because they are able to kill quickly with their teeth or claws, whereas venom, no matter how sophisticated, requires time to disable prey. [ 2]In spite of the rarity of venom among extant mammals, venom may be an ancestral feature among mammals, as venomous spurs akin to those of the modern platypus are found in most non- therian Mammaliaformes groups. [ 3]Venom is much more common among other vertebrates; there are many more species of venomous reptiles (e.g. venomous snakes ), and fish (e.g. stonefish ). There are only few known species of venomous birds such as the hooded pitohui. Some birds are poisonous to eat or touch, and Sinornithosaurus, a dinosaur related to birds, may have had a venomous bite. ["

When metamorphosis is completed, the \"\"toadlets\"\" may stay in the water for a short period of time before they become mostly land based. Often entire groups of tadpoles reach the toadlet stage at once and a mass migration to higher ground takes place usually to shaded areas of mid range and upland forests bordering the marshes from where they bred. Toadlets can be observed eating microscopic bugs as fast as they can in the ground area they roam between various vegetation; they are also known to eat ants, spiders, slugs and worms. Studies have shown that they have a mutualistic relationship with Chlorogonium alga, which makes tadpoles develop faster than normal. ["

"text": "\"History in Australia The Unwanted Amphibian Up until 1935, Australia did not have any toad species of it's own. We had tree frogs and burrowing ground frogs - even microhylid frogs which do not have a tadpole - but none of the world's hundreds of toad species evolved here. However, not wanting to be left out, Australia acquired some - 102 toads, in fact. These toads were supposedly being used successfully in the Carribbean islands and in Hawaii to combat the cane beetle, a pest of sugar cane crops. After rave reviews from overseas, Hawaii shipped a box of toads to Gordonvale, just south of Cairns. These were held in captivity for awhile, their numbers were increased by breeding, some experimental trials were conducted, and then they were released into the sugar cane fields of the tropic north. It was later discovered that the toads (scientific name Bufo marinus) can't jump very high so they did not eat the cane beetles which stayed up on the upper stalks of the cane plants. At the time of year when the beetle's larvae were emerging from the ground, no toads were about. So the cane toad, as it came to be known, had no impact on the cane beetles at all and farmers had to go back to the use of chemicals to kill the beetle. Meanwhile, the 'cat was out of the bag' or, more accurately, the toads were out of the box!"

"text": "Back to Home Cane Toad History The cane toad (Bufo marinus) is native to South and Central America. These amphibians were introduced into Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines in the 1920’s and 1930’s and into Queensland in 1935. Cane toads are characterized by their size and large glands behind their heads. Cane toads can grow up to 24 cm and can weigh up to 1.8 kg (4lbs). Why they were introduced During the beginning of the 20 thcentury Queensland was having problems with beetles destroying their sugar cane. In 1935 the Australian Bureau of Sugar Experimental Stations introduced cane toads into Australia because they believed that the toads would get rid of the cane beetles. Problems The cane toads turned out to be worthless at controlling the greybacked cane beetle. Since there are no natural predators of the cane toad in Australia, they did succeed in reproducing and spreading over large amounts of Australia. The major problem with having thousands of cane toads hopping around is that they are poisonous. Cane toads secrete a venom called bufotoxin from the large glands behind their head."

The state of Texas has a large variety of habitats, from swamps, pine forests in the east, rocky hills and limestone karst in the center, desert in the south and west, mountains in the far west, and grassland prairie in the north. This vast contrast in biomes makes Texas home to a wide variety of herpetofauna. Its central position in the United States means that species found primarily in either the western or eastern reaches of the country often have their ranges meeting in the state. Its proximity to Mexico is such that many species found there and into Central American also range as far north as Texas. Also, the karst topography of central Texas is home to several endemic species. The abundance of amphibians makes the state a prime area for research, and most species in the state are well documented. Texas state law protects several amphibian species; threatened species denoted as (T) and endangered species denoted as (E).

Alford b 1 Richard Shine a Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2011.07.009 Get rights and content Unlike many species that are ‘occasional’ cannibals, the tadpoles of cane toads specifically target conspecific eggs for consumption, ignoring the eggs of sympatric frog species (at least within the toads’ current invasive range in Australia). We tested three hypotheses as to the benefits of consuming conspecific eggs: transfer of toxins from eggs (which have high toxin content) to tadpoles (which have lower toxin content), nutritional input, and reduction of future competition. We found no evidence of toxin transfer, but eggs contained sufficient nutrition for cannibalistic tadpoles to develop through to metamorphosis, and egg consumption enhanced rates of tadpole growth and differentiation through reduction of subsequent competition from younger tadpoles. Features of the cane toads’ life history (e.g. synchronized deposition and development of all eggs within a clutch; delay between hatching and onset of feeding; short larval stage relative to interclutch interval of a given adult female) mean that the cannibals are unlikely to be close relatives of the younger conspecifics they consume (either as eggs or as metamorphs). Kin selection may thus favour rather than oppose cannibalism. The end result is that cannibalistic toad tadpoles benefit through nutrition and reduced future competition, with little collateral risk of eating their own siblings. Another potential cost of cannibalism (risk of disease transmission) may be minimal in this system, because the eggs are unlikely to contain pathogens (reflecting their brief embryonic periods and protective jelly layers). The combination of these forces has favoured the evolution of targeted cannibalism by cane toad tadpoles.

These toads are very large in size, often reaching 8 or 9 inches when mature and are typically only found in certain parts of North American, including the region between Arizona and California and in Florida, Texas, Hawaii, and other tropical areas (respectively). The Marine toad is considered to be more poisonous, and most dogs poisoned by these toads will die if untreated. Just mouthing or holding the toad in the mouth can result in poisoning and death. Dogs can even be poisoned by drinking the water out of container that a toad sat in. Poisoning is due to steroids compounds (bufotoxins and bufodienolids) and biogenic amines such as bufotenins, bufotionins, epinenephrine, serotonin, and others found in the toad’s parotid glands and skin. Mouthing, chewing or otherwise playing with the toad causes compression of the glands and secretion of the poison. Contact with the mucous membranes or ingestion can result in severe, immediate drooling, followed by an elevated temperature, brick red mucous membranes, abnormal heart rhythms, difficulty breathing, seizures, and even death. If you suspect your pet mouthed, licked or ingested a toad, rinse the mouth out immediately and call your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline for immediate life-saving advice.

"text": "Dog lovers beware: Poisonous giant bufo toad is rearing its toxic head in expanding areas, experts say BY Tobias Salinger NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Sunday, April 12, 2015, 5:21 AMfacebook Tweet email A file photo of a bufo toad in Florida shows the slimy creature that can be deadly to pets. ( R. D. BARTLETT/AP)These giant toads can pose a giant risk to pets this time of year. The bufo toad, otherwise known as the giant toad, the cane toad or the marine toad, can cause seizures and even death to dogs or cats who try to eat or lick the non-native amphibian, according to a fact sheet on the brownish-green toads from the University of Florida Wildlife Extension. Florida’s rainy seasons see the toads out and about in greater numbers, and areas inhabited by the giant toad’s habitats are “expanding rapidly” due to climate change, a recent study by the Animal Poison Control Center of the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals found. The amphibians, one of whom killed a Jack Russell Terrier in the Tampa area in 2012, secrete a milky substance from glands behind their ears that threatens pets that ingest it and causes burning and irritation to humans who touch it, according to the UF fact sheet. The ungainly species sometimes check in at over two pounds, and they often grow as large as 4 to 6 inches, larger than any other type of toad or frog found in Florida, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Dogs suffering from the venom will begin to salivate excessively, shake their heads, whimper, lose their coordination or go into convulsions, according to UF researchers. Concerned animal lovers should rinse the animal’s mouth out, wipe its mouth and gums clean and rush the canine to the vet’s office, the experts say. A 3-year-old, 8-pound Yorkshire terrier survived after nearly consuming one of the toads, but only after vomiting and defecating out parts of the toad and enduring repeated seizures, according to the ASPCA toxicology study. It's Bufo toad season in Florida and pet owners are being cautioned to keep an eye out for the toxic toads, which can kill dogs within minutes."

HANDLINGALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE AND AFTER HANDLING BUFO ALVARIUS. Especially if you also own cats or dogs. Handling should be kept to a minimum. All amphibians have a permeable skin that is sensitive to toxins. Quite often, in the course of a day, one's hands can become covered with numerous substances that are poisonous to toads (hair spray, insecticides, chalk, ink, disinfectants, soaps, etc.) - be certain to thoroughly wash your hands before handling your toads. Be aware of the venom glands (the large bumps located directly behind the eyes and above the ears, and on the legs).

The venom acts on various tissues causing swelling, oozing and clotting of blood, and necrosis of tissues as the venom works to immobilize its prey and to start the digestive process. Bleeding problems often occur in the following days and can be life-threatening. Location: Many states harbor some variety of rattlesnakes, but the Mojave rattlesnake is regarded as the most dangerous because its neurotoxins stop prey from breathing, says Dr. Tina Wismer, veterinary toxicologist and medical director for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. Mojaves call the Southwest home. Rattlesnakes dominated the 251 snake-bite claims handled in 2011 by Veterinary Pet Insurance; snake bites, on average, cost $1,123.08.

Being natural predators, it is common for dogs to catch toads in their mouths, thereby coming into contact with the toad's toxin, which the toad releases when it feels threatened. This highly toxic defense chemical is most often absorbed through the oral cavity membrane, but it may also enter the eyes, causing vision problems. Its effects are lethal if not treated immediately. The two most important species of toad that are known for their toxic effects on pets are the Colorado River Toad ( Bufo alvarius) and the Marine Toad ( Bufo marinus ). Most cases of poisoning are reported during the warmest weather months, when the toads are more active and humidity is high. In addition, pets typically come into contact with the Bufo toads during the very early morning hours, or after evening has set. These toads are omnivorous, eating both living creatures, such as insects and small rodents, and non-living food, such as pet food that has been left outdoors. Because of the latter, pets will often come into contact with these amphibians as they are eating from the animal's food dish. It is for this reason that it is recommended that pet food not be left outside in areas where Bufo toads live."

"text": "\"CANE TOAD BIOLOGYIn most scientific papers on the cane toad, the official name of the species is given as Bufo marinus – the first name ( Bufo, the genus) is based on this species being a “true toad” or bufonid. The second part of the toad’s scientific name ( marinus , referring to a supposed ability to tolerate \"\"marine” conditions [saltwater]) is just a mistake by the early naturalists. These toads don’t tolerate saltwater well at all. But something very confusing has happened over the last few years. Some scientific papers no longer call the cane toad Bufo marinus – instead, it has become Rhinella marina . What’s going on? Well, one of the key things about science is that it is progressive – when something is found to be wrong, it gets changed. And researchers who studied the DNA of toads discovered that their evolutionary relationships could better be summarised by splitting up the genus ( Bufo) in which they were placed, into several smaller groups. Basically, Bufo was a huge group that included hundreds of species – we just didn’t know which of these animals were most closely related to which other ones. But now that the DNA evidence is available, we can see that the cane toad is actually part of a small group that can be given its own name – Rhinella."

Mild winters lead to earlier spawning and migrations to ponds can occur as early as the last week in February. Watch my video of the mating scramble here. Usually toads will start making the move to their breeding ponds on dry nights after a bout of rain, when the temperature is at least a 6 degrees above freezing (Reading 1998). Spawning times can vary from one garden to another in the same street. The full moon may encourage large arrivals of toads and big spawning events. It’s not clear why – extra light may help them find their way to the pond or may deter predators, or possibly they have some kind of inner t ime clock (Grant et al., 2009)Almost all toads return to their native pond even when there are several alternative ponds nearby."

In the grass around the house and barn are hundreds of tiny toads the size of my fingernail, size is only about 1/4 inch with legs tucked under body. They are brownish/greenish with some dark spots. What kind of toads/frogs are they? I’ve never seen such small toads before. Submitted by: Deb, Ohio, USAThe Short Answer: There are two toad species commonly found in Ohio, the American toad ( Bufo americanus also known as Anaxyrus americanus) and Fowler’s toad ( Bufo fowleri or Anaxyrus fowleri ). These are the common toads you can find across much of the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. They are very similar, and what you describe could be either one (for tips to tell the adults apart, click here ). What’s surprising about the newly metamorphosed toadlets is that they are so tiny compared to the adult toads."

S. to justify a second plant, so if they want to sell that model here, the most efficient and cost-effective way to do so would be to export it from China, the paper reports. This move would be made in the midst of an already heated presidential campaign, and it would likely provoke conversation about declining American manufacturing as compared to rising Chinese manufacturing. We already know that current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump will have something to say about this. USA Today reports that this is all just speculation. Nothing is definite as of yet, but IHS analysts are so confident that GM will go through with the export that they have already incorporated it into their official predictions for U. S. auto sales.

If it weren’t for the marque’s surprising success in China (the country’s last emperor, Puyi, owned several), many think GM would’ve put Buick to merciful rest years ago. But due to its firm foothold in the world’s largest potential market, GM has finally decided to invest interest in the struggling brand and inject some energy and life into the “three shields”. Buick hasn’t had a vehicle with such sizzle since the legendary all-black Grand National of the mid-1980s. The Avista is a truly handsome, exquisitely proportioned coupe."

The body style transforms a standard three-box design into a two-box design — to include an A, B, and C-pillar, as well as a D-pillar. Station wagons can flexibly reconfigure their interior volume via fold-down rear seats to prioritize either passenger or cargo volume. The American Heritage Dictionary defines a station wagon as \"\"an automobile with one or more rows of folding or removable seats behind the driver and no luggage compartment but an area behind the seats into which suitcases, parcels, etc., can be loaded through a tailgate.\"\" [ 2]When a model range includes multiple body styles, such as sedan, hatchback and station wagon, the models typically share their platform, drivetrain and bodywork forward of the A-pillar. In 1969, Popular Mechanics said, \"\"Station wagon-style ... follows that of the production sedan of which it is the counterpart. Most are on the same wheelbase, offer the same transmission and engine options, and the same comfort and convenience options.\"\" [ 3]Station wagons have evolved from their early use as specialized vehicles to carry people and luggage to and from a train station, and have been marketed worldwide."

Introduced late in the 2016 model year with a limited lineup, the Envision range grew for 2017 to include a new base engine and a total of five trim levels and a choice of powertrains. There are no changes to the Envision for the 2018 model year. The Envision is the first Chinese-built vehicle to be sold by an American brand in the U. S., although a specific version of the Volvo S60 beat the Buick on the China-to-America boat. With the Envision, Buick fleshes out its crossover-SUV lineup. The Envision slots between the bigger Enclave and the smaller Encore. MORE: Read our 2018 Buick Envision review The Envision fills a void in the Buick lineup and suits up to take on some important and successful rivals such as the Mercedes GLC-Class, the Audi Q5, the Acura RDX, and the Lincoln MKC. Styling fits in the crossover-SUV mainstream, with a small Buick grille dressing a front end without any truck-like SUV lines. It's quite a car-like vehicle, with muscular fenders flowing into a sideview that's clearly influenced by the BMW X5. Inside, the Envision's cockpit has a curvaceous and dramatic look, with big swaths of woodgrain trim and ambient lighting on some versions."

Based on hardware that underpins the next-generation Buick Verano and Chevrolet Cruze sedans, the Envision will effectively form the basis of the next Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain SUVs. Slightly smaller than the current Equinox, the new Envision will use new turbocharged four-cylinder engines from the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu, including a 160-hp, 1.5-liter and a 250-hp, 2.0-liter. The Envision shown in Shanghai used a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission new to GM, but American models may get a six- or eight-speed automatic instead. An all-wheel-drive system will be available that distributes torque on demand. Befitting a luxury brand, the Envision boasts an elegant looking interior, with a dual-panel panoramic sunroof, multifunction steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate controls. Expect a full suite of active safety features, like those added to the Equinox for 2016, along with adaptive cruise control to automatically maintain a safe distance from cars ahead and automatic parking assist that can parallel park for drivers who don’t have confidence to do it themselves.

In fact, business is booming — just not in the U. S. The brand is hugely popular in China — the world's largest auto market — where having a large, foreign car is a status symbol. Buick is the country's hottest luxury brand, according to the New York Times. Sales numbers support those claims. The Buick Excelle was the number one passenger car in China in 2011, when 254,000 units rolled out of dealerships. The next year, Buick's sales in the country jumped 8%. J. D. Power & Associates predicts total Buick sales in China could hit 1 million by 2016, according to the Detroit Free Press. Why the love for a car that, in its homeland, is viewed as a relic of the past? The common view of Buicks in China is different from that in the U. S. The cars are the choice of business people and government officials."

During the company's early years, Durant went on a shopping spree for automobile manufacturers. That buy-out of 30 other companies came to an end in 1910. Durant had spent so much money that he was unable to hold his position, because banks were now unsure of the company's financial stability. The firm prospered, however, and went on to purchase the internal combustion engine railcar builder Electro-Motive Corporation and its engine supplier, Winton Engine, in 1930. By 1955, General Motors was the first company in America to make more than $1 billion in a single year. The beginning Olds Motor Vehicle Company, Inc., the oldest unit of General Motors Corporation, was organized in 1887 by Ransom E.

"text": "It’s been evident for some time that crossover SUVs are where the action is in the U. S. market. The selection at Buick, however, has been slow to grow. True, the large, three-row Enclave has been around since the 2008 model year, and in 2013 Buick was one of the first to field a subcompact crossover, the pint-size Encore, which turned into a surprise hit. But in the vast space between those bookends, Buick’s shelf was empty. That situation finally ended earlier this year with the arrival of the Envision. That new model made some waves with the news that it would be assembled and imported from China—a first for a domestic-brand car sold in the United States (the first made-in-China car to come here was the long-wheelbase version of the Volvo S60, called Inscription). Between Big and Little Size-wise, the Envision could be considered a compact: Its 107.9-inch wheelbase is some two inches larger than that of the Acura RDX or the Lincoln MKC but less than the span between the axles of the Volvo XC60 or the Audi Q5. At 183.7 inches overall, the Envision is 4.5 inches longer than the Lincoln, fractionally longer than the Audi and the Volvo, and just shy of the Acura. With herds of crossovers populating the nation’s roadways, and the barrage of advertising that accompanies them, the Envision probably can’t help but look at once familiar and forgettable. If it has a distinguishing exterior design element, it’s the Buick-family waterfall grille."

American automakers are poised to sell more than 2.5 million vehicles in China this year. With U. S. and European car markets stagnating, sales to the Chinese are essential to the U. S. auto industry’s health. Indeed, through the first half of this year, GM has sold more cars in China (1.2 million vehicles) than in the U. S. (1.08 million). And GM expects to sell more than three million cars there annually within five years. But Ford isn’t faring as well in China—GM outsells the blue-oval brand four to one. So what is GM doing right in China, and what is Ford doing wrong? And what can we expect in the future?

"text": "Buick is the Biggest and Best Selling Brand (in China)Posted on May 15, 2014 by admin As the oldest active American brand, Buick has been around since the turn of the twentieth century, but the true heyday for Buick cars on American roads has passed. Classic car collectors know that the best-selling Buicks’ were the big, broad-shouldered cars’ of the 60’s and 70’s. Times and tastes change, and over the last four decades Buick has had its share of ups and downs, but the brand still survives and sales in the U. S. have been trending up a bit. However, the car market is quite different on the other side of the world these days, and the brand is enjoying a new life in China (currently the world’s largest auto market) where Buick’s are now seen as highly desirable luxury cars in a country where having a large, foreign car is a big status symbol. In fact, Buicks’ may now be that country’s hottest brand by a good margin. Buick was the first American brand to try to build a strong presence in China, as evidenced by the fact that the nation’s last Emperor owned a Buick car there almost a century ago. Today, Buick still enjoys an advantage in China, as big American cars are usually the first choice of business people and government officials. Surprisingly, Chinese businessmen are also big fans of minivans, which don’t have the soccer mom, kid-hauling image they have in the U. S. In China, big cars and fancy minivans have a completely different image than they do in the U. S. and even the youngest Chinese buyers’ line up to buy Buicks these days. Buick has also benefitted from the fact that Chinese consumers are very conscious of automobile crash test ratings, an area where Buicks have performed better than cars from a great many rival makers. Because Buick has consistently delivered what Chinese buyers have wanted, its cars and minivans have exploded in popularity over the last 10 years."

United States automotive skyrocketed overseas and now China, with it's 1.6 billion people, has become the world's largest passenger car market in the world. In 2010, GM sold 2.35 million cars in China. This set a groundbreaking milestone for car dealers everywhere, due to GM being the first American automaker to sell more cars overseas then in the domestic market. In the most recent recession, Buick sales in the States declined so quickly that GM considered eliminating the brand altogether. Fortunately, the sales were increasing just as rapidly in China, saving the brand.

The term is also broad, highly variable and relative. It is a perceptual, conditional and subjective attribute that may be comprehended differently by different people; \"\"What is a luxury car to some... may be 'ordinary' to others.\"\" [ 1]In contemporary usage, the term may be applied to any vehicle type—including sedan, coupe, hatchback, station wagon, and convertible body styles, as well as to minivans, [2] [3] crossovers, or sport utility vehicles and to any size vehicle, from small to large—in any price range. [ 1] Moreover, there is a convergence in the markets and a resulting confusion of luxury with high price: where there may have been a clear difference in price between luxury and others, there is no longer an absolute separation between premium and luxury, with what may be premium brands now more expensive than the equivalent so-called luxury ones.

Watch The Latest Gaming News: There are three different sets of starters in the game that you can acquire. Below is the list: Johto Pokemon Starters The first set of starters you get in the game are the Johto starters, and include Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile. These Pokemon got their debut in the original Pokemon Gold & Silver. You will choose one of these three at the beginning of the game. Kanto Pokemon Starters The second set of Pokemon you can get in the game are the Kanto Starter Pokemon including Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle from Pokemon Fire Red and Pokemon Leaf Green (They made their debut in the original Pokemon games Pokemon Red & Pokemon Blue way back in 1998 on the original Game Boy). These Pokemon can be obtained by paying Professor Oak a visit after you have earned all 16 Badges and defeated your rival Red. As always, you will only be able to choose one of the three.

Screenshot by Alina Bradford/CNETMany Pokemon in Pokemon Go are region specific. This means that if you want to catch them all, you need to start traveling to faraway places, right? Wrong, don't book that plane ticket just yet. Incubating and hatching eggs is your ticket to getting those Pokemon that just won't spawn in your hometown. Hatching is also important for evolution, as getting duplicates of rare Pokemon through hatching gives you a cache of candy you can use to evolve them. Don't just randomly stick eggs into incubators and hope for the best, though. Here are some tips to maximize your time and incubators. How to get eggs and incubators First, you need eggs and incubators."

"text": "‘Pokemon Go’ Generation 2: Highest CP & Strongest New Pokemon252 Views 0 Shares 3 Comments By Stephanie Dube Dwilson Feb 17, 2017 at 4:15am (Niantic)Not all Pokemon Go trainers are familiar with the new Generation 2 Pokemon that were just released. How do you know which Pokemon you should focus your efforts on catching? Which have the highest CP and which can perform the best in gyms? If you aren’t already familiar with Generation 2, it can be confusing to navigate this new landscape of Pokemon. Here’s what we know so far about which Generation 2 Pokemon have the best CP and gym abilities. Generation 2 Pokemon With Highest Max CPThe top Generation 2 Pokemon with the highest max CP, according to Ranked Boost, are as follows (only listing those at 2,000 or higher.) These stats are based on the Pokemon Gold, Silver & Crystal games, so they may not be 100 percent accurate to Pokemon Go. We will update this post as we have more information: Ho-Oh: 4650 (legendary, not in game)Tyranitar: 3670Lugia: 3598 (legendary, not in game)Entei: 3412 (legendary, not in game)Raikou: 3349 (legendary, not in game)Blissey: 3219Celebi: 3090 (legendary, not in game)Donphan: 3022Espeon: 3000Heracross: 2938Suicune: 2823 (legendary, not in game)Scizor: 2801Ursaring: 2760Feraligatr: 2721Ampharos: 2695Typhlosion: 2686Porygon2: 2546Houndoom: 2529Jynx: 2512Slowking: 2482Crobat: 2466Granbull: 2440Steelix: 2439Kingdra: 2424Hitmonlee: 2406Politoed: 2371Clefable: 2353Miltank: 2325Piloswine: 2284Meganium: 2227Forretress: 2263Magmar: 2254Electabuzz: 2196Octillery: 2124Bellossom: 2108Hitmonchan: 2098Lanturn: 2077Sudowoodo: 2065Umbreon: 2052Raichu: 2025The best Generation 2 Pokemon to catch, when considering Max CP, attack, defense, and stamina, according to Ranked Boost, are: Typhlosion (Max CP 2227, Attack 211, Defense 182, Stamina 156)Meganium (Max CP 2131, Attack 182, Defense 217, Stamina 160)Feraligatr (Max CP 2298, Attack 199, Defense 199, Stamina 170)Tyranitar (Max CP 3196, Attack 241, Defense 225, Stamina 200)Porygon2 (Max CP 2290, Attack 198, Defense 200, Stamina 170)Slowking (Max CP 2232, Attack 184, Defense 198, Stamina 190)Octillery (Max CP 2183, Attack 223, Defense 163, Stamina 150)Kingdra (Max CP 2300, Attack 208, Defense 208, Stamina 150)Ursaring (Max CP 2282, Attack 212, Defense 164, Stamina 180)How Gen 2 Pokemon Compare to Gen 1In general, here’s how you can consider the new Pokemon, according to the reports of other Pokemon Go trainers. First, Larvitar and its evolution line (Pupitar and Tyranitar) are essentially equivalent to the Dratini line. This means that Larvitar = Dratini and Tyranitar = Dragonite."

Do Lure Modules and Incense Stack? I don’t think they stack so much as they spawn their own pokemon and work in tandem.

Let's get acquainted with this handy feature, shall we? In order to breed, you'll need to take two Pokemon to the Day-Care Center. The Day-Care Center is the house just south of Goldenrod City which is home to an old man and an old lady. You'll be giving one of your Pokemon to each of them. Note: It doesn't matter which person receives which Pokemon! Either one could go to either one. If you want two Pokemon to breed and produce an egg, they must be compatible.

"text": "\"Tips on How to Evolve Pokemon in Pokemon GOBy Christian Hoffer - July 10, 20160In a traditional Pokemon game, players evolve their Pokemon by leveling them up through hours of Pokemon battles. Since battling is de-emphasized in Pokemon GO, the game uses a different way to evolve Pokemon: specialized candies that can be used to power up and evolve Pokemon. The process is pretty simple, but here's a few tips to make evolving your Pokemon as efficient as possible. Players get candy every time they catch or hatch a Pokemon, so it's in your best interest to catch literally every Pokemon you find. It's also a good idea to \"\"transfer\"\" (AKA get rid of) any Pokemon you don't want, as you get an extra Candy when doing so. You'll also get the same type of Candy for any Pokemon in the same evolutionary line. So, for instance, catching and releasing a Kakuna will get you a total of 4 Weedle Candy. Here's how many Pokemon you'll need to catch and release to fully evolve certain types of Pokemon:7 Catch and Transfers: Rattata, Eevee13 Catch and Transfers: Spearow, Ekans, Pikachu, Sandshrew, Clefairy, Vulpix, Jigglypuff, Zubat, Paras, Venonat, Diglett, Meowth, Psyduck, Mankey, Growlithe, Tentacool, Ponyta, Slowpoke, Magnemite, Duduo, Seel, Grimer, Shellder, Drowsee, Krabby, Voltorb, Exeggcute, Cubone, Koffing, Rhyhorn, Horsea, Goldeen, Staryu, Omanyte, Kabuto16 Catch and Transfers: Caterpie, Weedle, Pidgey25 Catch and Transfers: Ivysaur, Charmeleon, Wartortle, Metapod, Kakuna, Pidgeotto, Nidorino, Nidorina, Gloom, Weepinbell, Poliwhirl, Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, Haunter, Dragonair32 Catch and Transfers: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Nidoran (both Male and Female), Oddish, Bellsprout, Poliwag, Abra, Machop, Geodude, Gastly, Dratini100 Catch and Transfers: Magikarp It's also important to point out that evolving Pokemon will give them a big boost in CP. So, it may make more sense for you to evolve a more powerful Pidgey than it is to evolve a weak Pidgeotto. If you want to get a sense how strong a Pokemon is, you can check how strong a Pokemon is by looking at the arc above the CP."

"text": "\"10 Facts You Might Not Know about Xena: Warrior Princess John Farrier • Friday, January 28, 2011 at 5:13 AM • 3Xena: Warrior Princess was a New Zealand-American television show which ran from 1996-2001. The title character was originally featured on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Fan response to episodes featuring her was so strong that the producers decided to create a new series based on Xena. Her show, like Hercules, was set in a generic ancient Mediterranean world, featuring characters and stories from Bronze Age Greece to Imperial Rome. Xena, a penitent warlord, sought to redeem the lawless destruction of her early life by defending innocence and peace against wickedness and savagery. Xena: Warrior Princess developed a huge fan following which persists to this day. Here are some things that you might not know about the show:1. Lucy Lawless nearly missed being cast in the title role for the show. She and her family were on a long camping trip when the producers selected her. Her in-laws correctly guessed where they would be and managed to get in contact with Lawless so that she could accept the producers’ offer.2."

The Italian invasion in October 1940, which is usually known as the Greco-Italian War, was followed by the German invasion in April 1941. German landings on the island of Crete (May 1941) came after Allied forces had been defeated in mainland Greece. These battles were part of the greater Balkan Campaign of Germany. Following the Italian invasion on 28 October 1940, Greece repulsed the initial Italian attack and a counter-attack in March 1941. When the German invasion, known as Operation Marita, began on 6 April, the bulk of the Greek Army was on the Greek border with Albania, then a protectorate of Italy, from which the Italian troops had attacked."

This language has its roots in the Arabic language that developed in Sicily and Malta 9 to 14 century. The influence of these languages is particularly evident in figures and in local names. Find out by our Maltese translator. The first mention of the fact that Malta has its own language, appeared in 1364 as a separate language is described in the will of Pawel Peregrina year 1436. There are theories that the Maltese could come from the language of the ancient Phoenicians, who arrived on the island in 750 BC .

This number represented an 8.4 percent increase over the 56.5 million enumerated in the twelfth quinquennial census, conducted in October 1990. The State Institute of Statistics (SIS) has estimated that since 1990 the country's population has been growing at an average annual rate of 2.1 percent, a decrease from the 2.5 percent average annual rate recorded during the 1980s. Turkey's population in 1985 was about 50.7 million, and in 1980 about 44.7 million. In the fourteen years from 1980 to 1994, the population increased nearly 37 percent. Turkey's first census of the republican era was taken in 1927 and counted a total population of about 13.6 million. Less than seventy years later, the country's population had more than quadrupled. Between 1927 and 1945, growth was slow; in certain years during the 1930s, the population actually declined. Significant growth occurred between 1945 and 1980, when the population increased almost 2.5 times. Although the rate of growth has been slowing gradually since 1980, Turkey's average annual population increase is relatively high in comparison to that of European countries."

"text": "The Balkans A map of the Balkans in 1914, showing recent territorial changes and the extent of Ottoman rule A significant cause of European tension prior to World War I was continued instability and conflict in the Balkans. The name itself referred to a large peninsula sandwiched between four seas: the Black Sea, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic and the Aegean. On this land mass was a cluster of nations and provinces, including Greece, Serbia, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Bosnia. At the turn of the century the Balkan region was less populated and under-developed, in comparison to western Europe; it had few natural resources, so was hardly an economic prize. The importance of the Balkan peninsula lay in its geographic location. Situated at the crossroads of three major empires – Ottoman, Russian and Austro-Hungarian – and with access to several important waterways, the Balkans were strategically vital. Because of this, the area had for centuries been a gateway between East and West, an area of cultural and mercantile exchange, and a melting pot of ethnicities and people. The Balkans underwent significant change and disorder in the late 19th century. At its peak the Ottoman Empire had ruled most of eastern Europe, including the Balkan states. But by the late 1800s the Ottomans were in retreat."

The hypothesis was headlined when The New York Times published it in December 1996. [ 1] It was later published in an academic journal in April 1997. [ 2] While it is agreed that the sequence of events described by the hypothesis occurred, there is significant debate over the suddenness, dating and magnitude of the events. Over geological eras, water has flowed in and out of the Black Sea basin. This hypothesis concerns the occurrence of the last inflow and the primary point of controversy is whether the event was gradual or catastrophic.

[ 2] Before that date, glacial meltwater had turned the Black and Caspian Seas into vast freshwater lakes draining into the Aegean Sea. As glaciers retreated, some of the rivers emptying into the Black Sea declined in volume and changed course to drain into the North Sea. [ 4] The levels of the lakes dropped through evaporation, while changes in worldwide hydrology caused overall sea level to rise."

Pictured are terraced vineyards in Northern Portugal's Douro Valley. In viticulture, the climates of wine regions are categorised based on the overall characteristics of the area's climate during the growing season. [ 1] While variations in macroclimate are acknowledged, the climates of most wine regions are categorised (somewhat loosely based on the Köppen climate classification) as being part of a Mediterranean (for example Tuscany [2] [nb 1] ), maritime (ex: Bordeaux [3]) or continental climate (ex: Columbia Valley [4] ). The majority of the world's premium wine production takes place in one of these three climate categories in locations between the 30th parallel and 50th parallel in both the northern and southern hemisphere. [ 5] While viticulture does exist in some tropical climates, most notably Brazil, the amount of quality wine production in those areas is so small that the climate effect has not been as extensively studied as other categories.

Beyond establishing whether or not viticulture can even be sustained in an area, the climatic influences of a particular area goes a long way in influencing the type of grape varieties grown in a region and the type of viticultural practices that will be used. [ 7] The presence of adequate sun, heat and water are all vital to the healthy growth and development of grapevines during the growing season. Additionally, continuing research has shed more light on the influence of dormancy that occurs after harvest when the grapevine essentially shuts down and reserves its energy for the beginning of the next year's growing cycle."

"text": "Bulgaria, officially Republic of Bulgaria, Bulgarian Republika Bŭlgariya, country occupying the eastern portion of the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe. Founded in the 7th century, Bulgaria is one of the oldest states on the European continent. It is intersected by historically important routes from northern and eastern Europe to the Mediterranean basin and from western and central Europe to the Middle East. Even before the creation of the Bulgarian state, the empires of ancient Rome, Greece, and Byzantium were strong presences, and people and goods traveled the land with frequency. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Emerging from centuries of Ottoman rule, Bulgaria gained its independence in the late 19th century, joined the losing side of several conflagrations in the first half of the 20th century, and, despite gravitating toward the Axis powers in World War II, found itself within close orbit of the Soviet Union by mid-century. This alliance had profound effects on the Bulgarian state and psyche, altering everything from land use and labour practices to religion and the arts. As communist governments fell in eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Bulgaria was suddenly released from the magnetic field of the Soviet giant and drifted into the uneasy terrain of postcommunism. Today its gaze is firmly fixed on the West; Bulgaria became a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 2004 and of the European Union (EU) in 2007. The members of the EU engage in the bulk of Bulgarian trade. Bulgaria Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The country is remarkable for its variety of scenery; its rugged mountains and relaxing Black Sea resorts attract many visitors."

"text": "What is Balagan? What is Balagan? Well, “balagan” is the first Hebrew word I learnt from my wife. It means basically chaotic or messy, and I use it to describe anything from my wife’s hair in the morning to the current state of the Middle Eastern peace process. The term appeals to me partly because I seem to set my life up to fight chaos (i.e. software development manager / programme manager) yet mess creeps in anyway – just take a look at the range of my interests as evidence. Mostly balagan is satisfying to say … try it while pretending you’re Israeli or Italian or from anywhere warm and emotional. Maximillian Hannan (USA) put forward the view that …balagan is Russian by origin. It was introduced to Israel by Russian immigrants. In modern Russian balagan means a booth or kiosk; it is less commonly used in the Israeli/Hebrew sense of messy/chaotic. Originally the term meant a kind of puppet theatre."

Furthermore, it claims to be one of the few European capitals with beautiful scenery and a developed ski-resort so close to it - the Vitosha mountain. Understand [ edit]Alexander Nevski cathedral When planning a visit to Sofia, keep in mind the major national holidays (Christmas, Orthodox Easter, 1st, 6th and 24th of May, 6th of September). During these holidays the city is deserted as most citizens take advantage of the long weekend and travel on vacation. Most small shops and galleries close for the holidays. History [ edit]Sofia was founded 2,500 years ago. Over the centuries, it has been given several names - Serdica , Sredetz and the remains of the old cities can still be viewed today. Because of its strategic location in the middle of Balkans for a while it had been selected for a new capital of the Roman Empire."

"text": "Bull snake, pine snake and gopher snake are different names for a single species (Pituophis melanoleucus or Pituophis catenifer). In the western United States, the species is frequently called the gopher snake; in eastern states, bull snake is more common. The nonvenomous snake helps control the rodent population in many areas. Farmers in states like South Dakota find the snake most helpful in preventing crop destruction by small mammals such as gophers. Color The bull or gopher snake’s body is mostly yellow or tan. The top of the body is covered with around 40 reddish or brown triangular spots or blotches on his back. This is why often he is often mistaken as a venomous rattlesnake. However, the bull snake has a long, limber body, and rattlesnake is stockier with more bulk. The underside of the snake is generally yellow and has large black spots that reach out toward the sides. Size The bull snake is one of the largest snakes in America, traditionally reaching up to 6 feet long."

It is true that members of the Viper Family, Viperidae, have triangular shaped heads. These include rattlesnakes, adders, the fer-de-lance, bushmaster, asian vipers, and more. However, snakes of the Family Elapidae, such as cobras, mambas, Australian brown snakes, the Taipan, Tiger Snake, Sea Snakes, the American coral snake, do not have trianglar shaped heads. Other snakes that are venomous, include members of the Family Colubridae. These are less venomous, but still possess venom, such as the Hog Nosed snake (genus Heterodon), and even the lowly garter snake, (genus Thamnophis)."

After reading this article, you’ll know everything there is to know about this interesting reptile. Thinking about getting a pet snake soon? If so, you’ve probably heard a lot about corn snakes and kingsnakes, during the course of your research. Along with ball pythons, these are two of the most common snakes kept as pets these days. But there’s another North American species you should consider as well. It’s the San Diego gopher snake ( Pituophis catenifer annectens ). When talking about choices for a pet snake, I often refer to the “little-known” gopher snake species. There are plenty of people who keep this species as a pet, but it’s not nearly as popular (or as well known) as the corn snakes and ball pythons. In my experience, the gopher snake has certain attributes that make it an even better pet choice than the aforementioned corns and balls."

"text": "Animal Fact Sheet: Western Diamondback Rattlesnake Identifying Features The Western diamondback rattlesnake ( Crotalus atrox) is a heavy bodied snake with a triangular shaped head. There are two dark diagonal lines on each side of its face running from the eyes to its jaws. It has dark diamond-shaped patterns along is back. The tail has black and white bands just above the rattles. Click to hear Western Diamondback sounds Adaptations Western diamondbacks are pit vipers. This means that they have a heat sensing pit (loreal pit) located behind each nostril that can detect differences in temperature, sometimes differences that are only a fraction of a degree apart. The heat given off by an animal is detected by the snake helping it to determine predator from prey. Habitat This snake is considered a generalist, which means that it isn't too picky about its habitat. It can be found living in deserts, grassy plains, forests, rocky hillsides and areas along the coast. It lives in elevations from below sea level up to 6500 feet (2000m)."

Contents [ hide ]1 Etymology2 Geographic range3 Description4 Diet5 Behavior6 Reproduction7 References8 Further reading9 External links Etymology [ edit]The subspecific name, sayi, is in honor of American naturalist Thomas Say. [ 1] Bullsnakes are endemic species of Mexico and there are called cincuate, (/sentli/; Náhuatl: corn, /coatl/; Náhuatl: snake ). Geographic range [ edit]Bullsnakes can be found throughout the Great Plains and central United States, central and northern Mexico, and Canada in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and desert regions of British Columbia. [ 2]Description [ edit]Bullsnake crossing a highway near Glenrock, Wyoming Adult bullsnakes average about 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 m) in total length, and specimens of up to 8 feet 4 inches (2.5 m) have been recorded. [ 3] Possibly being the largest race of gopher snake on average, mature specimens can have an average weight in the range of 1–1.5 kg (2.2–3.3 lb), though the heavier known specimens can attain 3.6–4.5 kg (7.9–9.9 lb), larger specimens being quite bulky for a colubrid snake. [ 4] [5] [6] [7] This makes the bullsnake among the largest snakes native to Canada and the United States, although it is generally not as long as indigo snakes nor as heavy or as large in diameter as rattlesnakes. They are usually yellow, with brown, white, black or sometimes reddish blotching."

Apparently kingsnakes are either immune to or tolerant of rattlesnake venom. Kingsnakes also eat other snakes, lizards, amphibians, birds and bird eggs, and rodents. Rattlesnakes can identify kingsnakes by smell. Rattlesnakes usually retreat in presence of a kingsnake and hold their head and tail close to the ground while arching their back and attempt to hit the kingsnake.

"text": "\"Melissa Kaplan's Herp Care Collection Last updated January 1, 2014Gopher Snakes Pituophis melanoleucus©1994. 2001 Melissa Kaplan Natural History Gopher snakes are related to pine and bull snakes. Found throughout North America and Mexico, there are eight known subspecies, of which two may actually be separate species. In the wild, their diet consists of small mammals, birds and eggs. While they are primarily ground dwellers and burrowers, many are semi-arboreal. In cold climates, gopher snakes hibernate during the autumn and winter months. In temperate climes, such as southern California, gophers do not need to be hibernated if they are kept at stable temperatures all during the year. The dorsal scales (those on the back) are keeled. While the markings on the P. melanoleucus subspecies are the same, there is some difference in the background colors, ranging from reddish orange to yellow in the hind portion. Enclosure If the snake is going to be handled and allowed out into an exercise/basking area for most of the day, it can be housed in a 10 gallon tank."

The state of Texas has a large variety of habitats, from swamps, coastal marshes and pine forests in the east, rocky hills and limestone karst in the center, desert in the south and west, mountains in the far west, and grassland prairie in the north. This vast contrast in biomes makes Texas home to an extremely wide variety of herpetofauna. Its central position in the United States means that species found primarily in either the western or eastern reaches of the country often have their ranges meeting in the state. Its proximity to Mexico is such that many species found there and into Central America range as far north as Texas. The abundance of reptiles makes the state a prime area for research, and most species found in Texas have been well studied. Texas state law protects several reptile species; threatened species denoted as (T) and endangered species denoted as (E). The moderate climate of Texas has also led to some species being introduced to the state and establishing a permanent population, denoted as (I).

"text": "\"Pets Reptiles Our corn smake shakes his tail when you try to get him out of the tank? should we leave him alone? Follow 12 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Yes, leave him be for a bit or change your methods if you can. He was stressed or startled. Just mess with him as little as possible. Rat Snakes are known to be frequent biters, though the Corn Snake species tend to be more docile and settle down with time. The tail shake IS INDEED the Corn Snake mimicing a rattlesnake. Many animals use mimicry of other more dangerous animals they resemble superficially to ward of predation and fool the predator. When amongst branches or leaves, the tail rattling can sound somewhat enough like a rattlesnake to scare away the predator. The Corn Snake is not the only one to do this."

Characteristics: Straw or pale brown colored with a row of large square blotches, reddish brown and black on the back and similar smaller blotches on the sides; the underneath is creamy colored with irregular dark small blotches. The body scales are keeled. The head is quite pointed. Unique feature: A filament of cartilaginous flesh in the mouth is situated immediately in front of the breathing passage. When the snake is angry the mouth is partially opened, the filament is raised, the breath is violently expelled against it. Thus a very loud hissing noise can be produced. Behavior: This snake is a constrictor. Diurnal except in hot weather. A good climber and burrower."

Hibernation is a process that increases the chance of survival when cold temperature, a lack of food sources, or a low water supply are causing an animal to expend more energy than what it takes in. Technically, only mammals hibernate. Those that hibernate produce a substance called hibernation inducement trigger (HIT), which causes them to go into hibernation. Their body temperature lowers dramatically, and their respiratory rate and pulse also markedly decrease. While in the state of hibernation, they live off of their fat supplies. Bears are typical of species that hibernate. In reptiles the process is more accurately called \"\"brumation.\"\" Due to cold temperatures, the body metabolism slows down to the point where little energy is used. The reptile remains awake, but is very sluggish."

"text": "\"Bullfighting has been called Spain's favorite sport. But to call it this is wrong for two reasons: first, soccer (called fútbol in Spain) is the most popular sport; and second, bullfighting cannot really be called a sport. It should be called, more properly, a spectacle, an exhibition, or a performance, like a ballet. However, this ballet is like dancing on a tightrope, because if the bullfighter makes a mistake, he is likely to be injured or killed. A bullfight is not really a contest between a man and a bull. Actually it is a contest between a man and himself. The audience goes to the ring to see a man conquer his own fear of the horns and take as many chances with the bull as possible. The men who most gracefully execute the most daring maneuvers become the stars. Bullfighting is one of the few ways a poor boy can become rich and famous in Spain and Latin America--and many matadores have become millionaires. But for every successful matador, there are hundreds who have fallen by the wayside and are forgotten."

"text": "Print Overview Bunion Bunion A bunion is a bony bump that forms on the joint at the base of your big toe. It forms when your big toe pushes against your next toe, forcing the joint of your big toe to get bigger and stick out. The skin over the bunion might be red and sore. Wearing tight, narrow shoes might cause bunions or make them worse. Bunions also can develop as a result of an inherited structural defect, stress on your foot or a medical condition, such as arthritis. Smaller bunions (bunionettes) can develop on the joint of your little toe. Symptoms The signs and symptoms of a bunion include: A bulging bump on the outside of the base of your big toe Swelling, redness or soreness around your big toe joint Corns or calluses — these often develop where the first and second toes overlap Persistent or intermittent pain Restricted movement of your big toe if arthritis affects the toe When to see a doctor Although bunions often require no medical treatment, see your doctor or a doctor who specializes in treating foot disorders (podiatrist or orthopedic foot specialist) if you have: Persistent big toe or foot pain A visible bump on your big toe joint Decreased movement of your big toe or foot Difficulty finding shoes that fit properly because of a bunion Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes There are many theories about how bunions develop, but the exact cause is unknown. Factors likely include: Inherited foot type Foot injuries Deformities present at birth (congenital)Experts disagree on whether tight, high-heeled or too-narrow shoes cause bunions or whether footwear simply contributes to bunion development. Bunions might be associated with certain types of arthritis, particularly inflammatory types, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Risk factors These factors might increase your risk of bunions: High heels."

"text": "\"Bunion Definition A bunion is an abnormal enlargement of the joint (the first metatarsophalangeal joint, or MTPJ) at the base of the great or big toe (hallux). It is caused by inflammation and usually results fromchronic irritation and pressure from poorly fitting footwear. Description A displacement of two major bones of the foot (hallux valgus) causes bunions, although noteveryone with this displacement will develop the joint swelling and bone overgrowth thatcharacterize a bunion. One of the bones involved is called the first metatarsal bone. This bone is long and slender, with the big toe attached on one end and the other end connected to footbones closer to the ankle. This foot bone is displaced in the direction of the four othermetatarsals connected with the toes. The other bone involved is the big toe itself, which is displaced toward the smaller toes. As the big toe continues to move toward the smaller toes, it may become displaced under or over the second toe. The displacement of these two foot bonescauses a projection of bone on the inside portion of the forefoot. The skin over this projectionoften becomes inflamed from rubbing against the shoe, and a callus may form."

And we also know how minor foot and ankle problems can turn into big ones. We take a multidisciplinary approach to treating all forms of foot and ankle pain -- from acute injuries such as sprains to long-term degenerative issues. And we offer a variety of innovative surgical and non-surgical treatments that will be individualized for your specific needs. Some of the Foot and Ankle Conditions We Treat We treat the full range of acute and chronic foot and ankle injuries and diseases, including: Achilles tendinopathy – When the Achilles tendon undergoes degenerative changes and becomes thickened, causing inflammation and pain. Achilles tendon rupture – A complete tear of the Achilles tendon, a rupture causes pain and loss of movement and strength Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (posterior tibial tendon dysfunction) – Commonly known as a flat foot or collapsed arch, the loss of arch occurs because the large tendon on the inside of the ankle becomes stretched out and no longer supports the foot’s arch as it should. Ankle arthritis – Occurs when there is a breakdown of cartilage in the ankle joint from trauma (such as a car accident), autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis), or infection. Ankle fracture – This occurs when one or both of the bones of the ankle – the tibia or fibula – is broken. In cases where the fracture is unstable, surgical fixation is usually recommended. Ankle instability – Not treating an ankle injury can result in damage to the ankle joint’s cartilage, leaving the ankle unstable."

Keep your feet healthy by learning to recognise and treat common foot problems Bunion A bony bump at the base of the big toe, a bunion causes that toe to deviate towards the others. Throwing foot bones out of alignment and producing the characteristic bump at the joint's base, a bunion can be very painful due to pressure or arthritis and may also lead to corns. Painkillers, pads to cushion the bunion, custom shoe inserts or surgery may help, as will wearing roomy shoes and avoiding high heels. Corns and calluses Friction causes the thick, hardened, dead skin of corns and calluses, which form to protect sensitive skin. Appearing cone-shaped, corns point into the skin and usually occur on areas that bear little weight. Calluses may appear anywhere there's friction, and are more diffuse. Both may be caused by ill-fitting shoes and will fade when friction stops. Moleskin pads can help relieve a corn. Calluses can be trimmed or surgically corrected."

"text": "Foot Bunion Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Authored by Dr. Michelle Heiring Reviewed by Dr. James Milidantri Bunions (sometimes referred to as Hallux abducto valgus) are enlargements of the inner portion of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint at the base of your big toe. More commonly, they are described as a bump on the side of the big toe. The foot bunion is the result of changes that occur in the framework of the bones at the front of your foot. Instead of pointing straight ahead, your big toe begins to lean into your second toe, throwing the bones out of alignment. Bunions are progressive, meaning you will not just wake up one day and find a visible bump (unless it was caused by a bug bite or something of that nature). Bunions are generally attributed to genetics and improper footwear. It may take years for a bunion to fully develop and begin to show symptoms. Some people may never experience symptoms at all. Bunions may begin to form during one’s teenage years, but they usually occur in people aged 20–30. Women are three times more likely than men to have bunions."

The location of pain will depend on which foot bone is affected – fractures of the calcaneus or navicular bones cause lateral foot pain, stress fractures of the metatarsals can cause pain on either side of the foot depending on which metatarsal is affected. Side of foot pain from stress fractures usually starts off quite mild and gradually gets worse."

Some of the most typical causes of toe pain include:• Arthritis: Arthritis is a common threat, which causes an inflammatory response in the body. Gout is a type of arthritis that often attacks the big toe when crystal deposits form in the joints. The result is severe pain and swelling. Osteoarthritis (such as hallux rigidus or toe arthritis) strikes the base of the big toe, causing pain and stiff joints that gets worse over time.• Bunion: The bony prominence that can develop along the edge of the foot (right next to the base of the big toe) is often a result of wearing poorly fitting footwear. Extreme cases require surgery [1].• Hammer Toe: Creating a hammer-like appearance, wearing tight shoes can cause a toe to bend near the joint.• Claw Toe: Striking the joint at the end of a toe, claw toe prevents you from straightening out your toes, which instead, point upward or downward. This condition can lead to other foot problems and irritation.• Ingrown Toenails: Ignoring the misalignment for toenail growth can lead to skin on one or both sides growing over a nail."

For our purposes, and to make it as easy as possible for you to understand, “Morton’s Toe” will mean having either one or both of two abnormal, inherited conditions of the first metatarsal bone of the foot (see below). Morton’s Toe was first written about in the 1920s by Dr. Dudley Morton, Treating the Morton’s Toe is the foundation of foot care. Its importance in causing pain throughout the body and was taught for over 50 years by Dr. Janet Travell who was President Kennedy’s and Johnson’s White House physician. What is the first metatarsal bone The first metatarsal bone is a finger-like bone to which the big toe attaches to. It extents about halfway down your foot toward your heel. There are five metatarsal bones one that attaches to each toe bone. They are inside your foot so you really cannot see them. The only way to truly see the metatarsal bones is with an x-ray of the foot."

"text": "Bunion surgery is a medical procedure in which the surgeon cuts into the inner side of the foot, close to the big toe joint and remove any excessive soft tissue or realigns the bone. This surgical intervention is performed when other non-surgical treatments for bunions did not provide the desired results and it is often done for two purposes: one to relieve the excruciating pain and two, to realign the deformed joint. Sometimes, additional metallic wires might be used to restore the normal alignment of the big toe joint and hold it into place. Even though there are almost one hundred of bunion surgery procedures available, not one guarantees complete elimination of the problem or the symptoms. The surgeon will decide on the best procedure according to the extent of the deformation and he or she might decide to perform more procedures at once, in order to obtain the best results. The main objective is to correct the existent deformity, thus allowing the patient to resume his or her normal daily activities. Bunions appear as a direct result of a foot deformity, known as hallux valgus. The big toe actually turns outward, the entire joint being twisted towards that direction. The modifications appear in the area, the joint becomes prominent as there are a lot of excess soft tissue and bone. The most common cause that leads to the appearance of bunions is the prolonged wearing of shoes that are either too small or have a tip that is too tight."

Conservative treatment Nonsurgical treatments that may relieve the pain and pressure of a bunion include: Changing shoes. Wear roomy, comfortable shoes that provide plenty of space for your toes. Padding and taping or splinting. Use over-the-counter, nonmedicated bunion pads. Also, your doctor can help you tape your foot in a normal position.

The common bunion is located at the base of the big toe (the first metatarsophalangeal joint). The enlargement is often a combination of bone and joint malalignment in combination with tissue inflammation. The common bunion is frequently associated with an inward displacement deformity of the big toe that is medically referred to as a hallux abducto valgus deformity. Bunions are categorized as mild, moderate, or severe. A bunion at the base of the smallest (fifth or little) toe is referred to as a tailor's bunion or bunionette. This is because this bunion was noticed to be associated with pressure on the little toe of old-fashioned tailors when they sat cross-legged for hours at their craft. Bunions can often be mistaken for hallux rigidus which is similar but typically more arthritic. Causes of Bunions Bunions are very common. They are especially painful with the repeated use of pointed-toe, narrow, and high-heeled shoes."

Answer: Consider surgery when a bunion is painful every day, and you can no longer find comfortable shoes. But before surgery, exhaust all conservative approaches. Surgery to remove a bunion can be complicated and is not a quick fix. Recovery can take a few months. A bunion is an abnormal bony prominence that develops on the base of the toe joint. Bunions usually occur on the big toes but the little toes can also be affected. The little toe version is called a bunionette. Not all bunions cause problems, but some are painful enough to interfere with day-to-day activities. Bunions develop over time due to abnormal motion and pressure on the toe joint."

Things you do every day while on your feet, such as walking and standing, and certain recreational activities, can put a great deal of stress on the feet, especially if you are overweight. This can result in injury to the foot, including having a sharp pain in the big toe. What Causes Sharp Pain in Big Toe? There are many factors that can lead to sharp pain in your big toe. Some of them are common and can happen to anyone, while others are less common and occur relatively rarely. These include the following causes:1. Hallux Rigidus This is also called \"\"hallux limitus\"\" and is a condition where you have stiffness in your big toe that can lead to sharp pain in it. The joint involved is at the base of the great toe. It is a type of degenerative arthritis that may be caused by overuse of the toe or structural abnormalities of the toe."

As the big toe bends towards the others this lump becomes larger and the bunion can become painful - arthritis and stiffness can eventually develop. Bunions can follow foot injuries and trauma and people with flat or pronated feet appear to have a higher incidence of bunions. Some activities, such as ballet dancing, put added pressure on the joint and may increase the chance of bunions developing. As the big toe begins to deviate the bunion can become painful - there may be redness, some swelling, or pain at or near the joint. With any pain the most important starting place is obtaining a confirmed diagnosis from an experienced health professional. Any pain of sudden and severe onset must be investigated urgently by your podiatrist or medical professional. Management of Hallux Valgus (bunions)Footwear - Wearing the right kind of shoes is very important. Choose shoes that have a wide toe box and forgo those with pointed toes or high heels which may aggravate the condition. Padding - Pads placed over the area of the bunion can help redistribute pressure from the bunion area and reduce pain."

Interring Cremated Remains In A Columbarium Niche A columbarium is an above-ground building that houses cremated remains. A columbarium is composed of small wall spaces, called niches, that are about the size of an urn. Each niche holds a single urn, though it may be possible to purchase a group of niches together to house multiple urns. Once the urn containing the ashes has been interred in the columbarium, a bronze plaque will be placed on the outside of the niche identifying whose remains are interred inside.

Wooden coffins (or caskets) decompose, and often the weight of earth on top of the coffin, or the passage of heavy cemetery maintenance equipment over it, can cause the casket to collapse and the soil above it to settle. Contents [ hide ]1 About burial vaults2 World usage3 Criticisms4 References5 Bibliography About burial vaults [ edit]A burial vault is prepared for shipment by an employee at Clark Grave Vault, Columbus, Ohio, 1938. The burial vault or burial liner is designed to prevent the weight of earth or heavy cemetery maintenance equipment from collapsing the coffin beneath. Coffin collapse will cause the ground to sink and settle, marring the appearance of the cemetery and making it harder to maintain. [ 1] Burial vaults originally emerged as a means of ensuring that grave robbers could not easily access a coffin and remove valuables, clothing, or even bodies from the coffin. [ 2] Early vaults were made of wood (the \"\"rough box\"\"), [3] although by the middle of the 1800s brick, [2] iron and later steel vaults were used. [ 4] By the late 1800s, the fashion of burying the deceased with jewelry lost favor. [ 4] However, the value of burial vaults in ensuring that the ground did not settle over graves was seen, and burial vaults began to be more widely used. [ 2] By the early part of the 20th century, concrete (and, later, reinforced concrete) vaults became more common. ["

Department of Design and Construction City workers made a stunning discovery this week when they stumbled upon a 19th century burial vault – which then led to the finding of a second tomb – containing skeletal remains beneath the edge of Washington Square Park. Contractors for the Department of Design and Construction were attempting to dig up a 100-year-old water main near the park to replace them with brand new water main distribution lines when they unearthed the vault. Workers found the tomb on Tuesday, which ultimately led to the discovery of a second vault on Wednesday. Both of the stone vaults with arched ceilings are 15 feet by 20 feet and eight feet deep and have wooden doors. “We were doing our work to bring three water main connections to this neighborhood and as we were digging we found a vault,” DDC Commissioner Feniosky Peña-Mora said on Thursday at the site. “ Then it turned out there were two vaults. ”The first vault contained scattered skeletal remains of up to 10 people, while the second tomb – which sits side by side with the first – had around 20 “in-tact” coffins, said Peña-Mora. The historic vaults are connected to one of two church congregations whose members were buried there, said Archeologist Alyssa Loorya, whose Brooklyn-based company Chrysalis Archaeological Consultants is contracted by the city to have staff on-hand whenever construction projects take place in archaeologically sensitive areas.

Graves are usually located in special areas set aside for the purpose of burial, such as graveyards or cemeteries. [ 1]Certain details of a grave, such as the state of the body found within it and any objects found with the body, may provide information for archaeologists about how the body may have lived before its death, including the time period in which it lived and the culture that it had been a part of. In some religions, it is believed that the body must be burned for the soul to survive; in others, the complete decomposition of the body is considered to be important for the rest of the soul (see bereavement )."

"text": "National Cemetery Precast Crypt System National Precast Concrete Association / NPCA Blog / Precast Products / National Cemetery Precast Crypt System July 22, 2009 2 Comments A national cemetery turns to precast concrete to ease burgeoning demands for burial space. By Leslie Lichtenburg An aging veteran population and an increase in cemetery expansions are compelling national cemeteries to consider alternative burial systems. Such is the case at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis, where a major expansion program to create space for an additional 21,000 burials is under way. The growing demand for veteran burials and the need for a system to accommodate and expedite burials during the winter months are driving the trend in pre-placed precast concrete burial vaults. These enclosed chambers are installed in quantity, either side-by-side or multiple depth. The precast units, also known as lawn crypts, offer a more cost-effective option for burial with two caskets placed in one grave with a divider between them. The use of such pre-placed vaults is becoming popular in both national and private cemeteries as an efficient means of expanding cemetery capacity while at the same time conserving space. “Using pre-placed crypts saves space, opens land and enables us to do more burials for veterans and their dependents,” explained Don Edmond, assistant director at the 436-acre Fort Snelling National Cemetery. Until now, the Fort Snelling Cemetery relied on a system whereby graves were pre-dug for winter burials, and tree leaves – donated by the city – were used as backfill. “ It was easy to dig up the leaves in winter and install the liners and caskets,” explained Dave Starkie of the Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Facility Management in Washington, D. C. Today, the use of pre-placed precast concrete caskets is considered a reliable solution to the increasing demand for winter burials. “"

The purpose of a burial vault is to prevent the ground from caving in once it has settled. Burial vaults can vary wildly in price, from as little as $200 to upwards of $10 000 US . The purchase that most practically fills this need is a concrete grave liner that need not cost any more than $400. There are very few states that actually require a liner, though the cemetery and funeral home may not tell you this. Some cemeteries will require you to buy a liner or burial vault in order to keep the costs of maintenance down. This is a fair requirement, as long as they're up front about the fact that it's their own stipulation. If you don't wish to buy a grave liner or burial vault, you can shop around for a cemetery that doesn't require them.

How long does it stay \"\"in one piece\"\"? Will the body be positioned the same as it was when it... show more4 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: the disposition of the body has a HUGE effect on how fast the body will decompose. in an above ground entombment the body will decay much more rapidly, producing more organic acids that can corrode and rot the casket, and noxious gases that have been known to cause caskets to explode. in higher temperatures in these conditions the bodies quickly begin to decay and are often completely decomposed within 5 years......the body farm has been experimenting with this for years. much of this is because formaldehyde breaks down at 110 degrees fahrenheit and a hot summer day can quickly deactivate embalming chemicals and speed up the decay process. Being put in an above ground tomb or mausoleum is actually the worst type of burial besides being in a \"\"wet grave\"\" because bodies simply liquefy and the bones dissolve and you end up with almost nothing left of a body besides clothing remnants within 10 to 20 years.....ive seen many pictures of exposed mausoleums and they are NOT pretty places. above ground burial is really a VERY impractical way of burying people because mausoleums have lots of coffin flies, smells, the bodies are much more exposed to much higher temperatures in these types of places........in fact the southwest has had NUMEROUS mausoleum failures where they could not remove the stench and numerous people in mausoleums had to be disinterred and covered in embalming powders and deoderizers and re-sealed in another casket and sealed in plastic to prevent the smell from permeating."

"text": "Home » Classroom How Do Caskets Preserve a Body? By John Peterson; Updated September 29, 2017Coffins only preserve bodies when they have an air-tight seal. Unless they are hermetically sealed, caskets do not preserve bodies. They do protect corpses from water, the weight of the soil and shifting earth. Sealed caskets can aid in preservation by greatly slowing decomposition, and they are often used in conjunction with embalming. Caskets are frequently placed in burial vaults made of concrete and other materials, which can protect the casket and the body inside. Vaults can also be sealed to offer further preservation. Decomposition Bodies begin to decompose immediately upon death, and preservation techniques need to be implemented rapidly in order to slow decomposition. The rate of decomposition varies and depends on temperature, moisture, exposure to insects and many other factors. In addition to placing a body in a sealed casket, embalming is often used to delay decomposition."

Often there are no symptoms, but a ruptured aneurysm can lead to fatal complications. An aneurysm refers to a weakening of an artery wall that creates a bulge, or distention, of the artery. Most aneurysms do not show symptoms and are not dangerous. However, at their most severe stage, some can rupture, leading to life-threatening internal bleeding. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advise that aortic aneurysms contribute to over 25,000 deaths in the United States (U. S.) each year. Around 30,000 brain aneurysms rupture in the U. S. each year. An estimated 40 percent of these cases cause death within 24 hours. Fast facts on aneurysms Aneurysms affect a variety of arteries. The most significant aneurysms affect the arteries supplying the brain and the heart."

Even though every person's body is as unique as our fingerprints, the general outline of disease process is roughly the same. In simple terms, every health problem, from a simple rush or allergy to cancer on one of our organs, is a disorder of the whole body. Whatever name we give it, its cause is the accumulation of toxins. The toxins come from two sources: From outside with food, air, water, medications, etc. Produced in our body as a result of its own life processes and life processes of bacteria living in it. Undigested food forms deposits in the large intestine and becomes breeding ground for toxin-producing bacteria. Toxins are absorbed by intestinal walls and blood carries them to all our organs, where they cause diseases. To make the point, I'll use a drastic example of experiments done by the Nazis during the Second World War. They took the contents of the large intestine from prisoners suffering from chronic constipation, made serum from it, and injected healthy prisoners with it."

When blood vessel in eye burst, it leads to appearance of blood shot on conjunctiva layer resulting eye redness that may imply you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage. This article provides some information on what causes the breaking of the blood vessels in the eye and also how it can be treated. Contents [ show]Broken blood vessel in eye cause The following are the causes of broken blood vessel in eye: Inadequate sleep If you stay for long hours without having sleep expect to have red eyes since in most instances you will be forced to rub sleepy eyes causing some disturbances to strain blood vessels which in turn break. Environmental hazards Stay in an area or work place that has extremely dry air, dust, smoke and excessive sun exposure, expect to experience eye irritation hat can cause red eyes, among other symptoms. Eye injury Trauma or eye injury may result to red bloodshot eyes, sometimes accompanied by a subconjunctival hemorrhage. As an inflammatory response to injury, blood vessels in your eye dilate to allow more blood flow to the site of the injury for quicker healing. This dilation and sometimes breakage of blood vessels on the eye is what causes the redness. Computer vision syndrome Staring on the computer for long hours causes straining of blood vessels that might end up bursting resulting to the appearance of red eyes. The breaking of the blood vessels in the eye occurs since when using a computer you blink less often, which dries out the surface of your eye."

The first a person usually notices is looking in the mirror to see their eye looking red or being told about it by someone else. Subconjunctival haemorrhage does not affect a person's vision. It can be caused by an eye injury or head injury, be brought on by coughing or vomiting - but in some cases there is no obvious cause. There is usually no specific treatment for this condition - and the redness should fade over time. However, seek medical advice if you have concerns. What does a subconjunctival haemorrhage look like? A subconjunctival haemorrhage appears as a bright red or dark red patch in the white part of the eye, called the sclera. Blood from a small bleed spreads into the thin membrane between the front part of the eyeball - the conjunctiva - and the white part."

There is no pain, but there is a quite large area of dark red / purple blood under the skin. Is this anything to worry about-will it go away by itself or do i need to seek further medical attention?

The pouches form when pressure builds up inside the colon. Constipation (dry, hard stools), due to a low fiber diet, is a common cause of increased pressure in the colon. The colon is the long tube that connects the small bowel with the anus (rear end). The colon absorbs water from digested foods and turns the digested food into stool. It stores the stool until it can be passed out through your anus. Feces (stool) or food that is not broken down can get trapped in the diverticula. This can cause abdominal (stomach) pain, bleeding, and other problems, such as diverticulitis (infected and swollen diverticula). A barium enema or colonoscopy may be done to diagnose diverticulosis. You may also have blood and stool tests."

The eye has a red spot of blood on the sclera (the white part of the eye). This occurs when there is a rupture of a small blood vessel on the surface of the eye. The area of redness may be fairly large, and its appearance is sometimes alarming. It is vivid red because the sclera is so rich in oxygen. It is not dangerous and generally goes away slowly with no treatment. I've had 3 or 4 blood spots in my eye over the past few years, so I went to my doctor to check it out.

This can in turn result in pain and bruises that may not be pleasant to the eye. What can cause a broken blood vessel in the leg?by HERRUWE under CC BYWhen a capillary ruptures or bursts, the broken blood vessel in leg creates red or bluish hairline marks that are commonly known as spider veins. Broken blood vessels on legs left unattended can be both unsightly and painful. To avoid additional damage, it is important to consult a dermatologist. If any abnormalities have been caused to the vein, they can be treated immediately. A number of conditions can result in a burst vessel in legs such as common skin disorders.

"text": "The Symptoms and Causes of Broken Blood Vessel A broken blood vessel can be a particular nuisance, especially if the rupture occurs in a place of high visibility, such as the face or the eye. What most people are unaware of is that the term blood vessel actually includes many different types of tubing in which blood is transferred through. The main three which we will discuss are arteries, veins, and capillaries. The type of broken blood vessel most often suffered is a broken capillary, but we are going to discuss the causes and symptoms of rupture of all three types of blood vessel. Let’s begin by describing the function of each type of vessel. Going from the largest to smallest in blood-carrying capacity, the sequence of blood vessels generally goes arteries, veins, and then capillaries. Arteries are large tubes that are responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. They are a bit more muscular in composition than veins. As the arteries travel through the main parts of the body, such as the neck and head, torso, arms, and legs, they branch off into fine tubes to better access the rest of the body. These fine branches are called capillaries."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-butter-beans.htm\nWhat are Butter Beans?",
"text": "”Butter beans” are the common name for Phaseolus lunatus, a legume considered by many to be a vegetable. They are often compared to the more common lima bean, and the two share many similarities — but most horticulturists argue that they are not, in fact the same, despite their similar biological traits. They are very common in the cooking traditions of the American South, and also feature in many Mediterranean dishes. Basic Characteristics Butter beans are typically white or cream colored, and are flat and slightly curved in shape. They typically measure between 0.25 and 1 inch (approximately 0.6 to 2.5 cm) in length. Some varieties are speckled with brown or deep purple spots, though most of the time these color aberrations are limited to home-grown varieties — the vast majority of commercially-available beans are uniformly cream colored. There are two theories for how the beans earned their colloquial name. The first relates to their color; most are the shade of fresh cream butter. Taste may also be the origin, as the beans have a smooth, almost buttery taste after cooking. Relationship to Lima Beans Butter beans are genetically very similar to lima beans, and there is some dispute when it comes to whether or not they are actually a variety of lima bean."

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

I always loved beans, but have come to cherish that rare specimen, the fresh shelled bean. When they arrive at the market, I buy them, lots of them. Some I cook immediately, but most I squirrel away in my freezer to be enjoyed all winter and spring long until the next harvest season brings more.

It may seem challenging at first, but growing beans actually is quite easy. As long as you know and provide the basic requirements for growing these crops, you’ll soon enough find yourself reaping the wonderful, rewarding bounty. Ideal Bean Growing Location Beans prefer warm weather and shouldn’t be grown in cooler climates. These crops should be grown in sites receiving full sun in well-drained, fertilized soil. Preparing the soil with compost and manure before planting is highly recommended. Beans should not be planted until all danger of frost has passed, usually about a week after the last frost in spring. Types of Beans Beans come in numerous varieties consisting of both bush and pole types. Deciding what variety of bean you want to grow and whether to grow the bush or pole type plant is important when you are planning your garden. Green beans are probably the most widely grown in the vegetable garden."

Most of them are different varieties of the common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ). Most of the types of beans mentioned here, originated in Peru and were introduced to Europe only in the fifteenth century by Spanish explorers returning from their voyages to the New World. They subsequently spread to Africa and Asia by Spanish and Portuguese traders. Common beans are quite versatile, as they can be prepared in a variety of ways. I'll briefly discuss them one by one and then I'll list some of their health benefits: Black Beans Black beans are about the size of a pea, oval and jet black. In spite of their black exterior, they have cream-coloured flesh; a mild, sweet, earthy taste and a soft texture, with a flavour that has been compared to mushrooms. They're widely used throughout Latin America, the Caribbean and the southern United States, but they're now available everywhere. The beans have to be cooked for an extended period of time before they are digestible, and they soften during the cooking stage. The black shells of the beans are retained through cooking, since they carry a lot of the flavour and nutritional value of the beans."

Pouring off the water helps gets rid of the indigestible complex sugars that create gas in your intestine. It also helps to cook the beans thoroughly, until they can be easily mashed with a fork.

Lima beans originated in Peru and have been grown there since 6000 B. C. The name comes from the capital city of Peru, Lima. Lima beans are almost always called \"\"butter beans\"\" in the southern part of the United States, even in markets and restaurants. Lima beans come in three main varieties: Large lima beans are green or speckled. The speckled kind have a creamy texture and a strong earthy flavor, unlike the pale green ones. Small lima beans are also called sieva beans, Carolina bean, civet, seewee, and sivvy. Most small limas are pale green. They are less starchy than the larger varieties. Dwarf lima beans, also known as butter peas, are white and speckled and the least starchy of the limas. Fresh lima beans are difficult to find in the United States, but can occasionally be found at farmers' markets."

More importantly, however, they are one of the richest sources of plant-based protein available. A daily staple throughout history, legumes have supplied the bulk of protein for numerous cultures. Yet in much of our western culture, animal foods have largely displaced beans. Beans, however, are regaining their popularity. Concerned with their health and fitness, more and more people are choosing beans over meat. And why not! Beans provide us with the protein our bodies need for repair without saddling us with the cholesterol and fats of meats. Beans are also a good source of calcium, iron, some B vitamins, and fiber. Sprouted beans manufacture many other important nutrients, including a hefty dose of vitamin C. Beans also release glucose into our bloodstream more slowly than other foods, giving steady energy and providing a valuable food for people with diabetes and hypoglycemia."

Also known as butter beans, the legumes can contain a high level of cyanide, which is part of the plant's defense mechanism. Here in the U. S. there are restrictions about cyanide levels in commercially grown lima bean varieties, but not so in less developed countries, and many people can get sick from eating them. Even so, lima beans should be cooked thoroughly, and uncovered to allow the poison to escape as gas. Also, drain the cooking water to be on the safe side.

"text": "\"Sometimes called \"\"butter beans\"\" because of their starchy yet buttery texture, lima beans have a delicate flavor that complements a wide variety of dishes. Although fresh lima beans are often difficult to find, they are worth looking for in the summer and fall when they are in season. Dried and canned lima beans are available throughout the year. The pod of the lima bean is flat, oblong and slightly curved, averaging about three inches in length. Within the pod are the two to four flat kidney-shaped seeds that we call lima beans. The seeds are generally cream or green in color, although certain varieties feature colors such as white, red, purple, brown or black.

I know that there are degrees to that--some plants can make you feel ill if you ingest them, while some can cause a much more serious reaction. I'm concerned because I have a one-year-old, and even though the plant wouldn't be placed in an area she frequently goes, you just never know. So I want to know whether anyone knows where I can find out any further information about how dangerous this plant might be? I appreciate any insights. Email Save Comment 2 Like"

"text": "Butterfly Bush Photo: Richard Old, XID Services, Inc., Bugwood.org Photo: Tim Miller, Noxious Weed Control Board What is it? The butterfly bush is a perennial, woody shrub with purple flowers. It is a very popular ornamental plant, often found in gardens. It also is common along riverbanks and river gravel bars where it out-competes native plants and alters soil nutrients. Is it here yet? Yes. Escaped, invasive populations of butterfly bush are pervasive in western Washington, including Clallam, Clark, Cowlitz, King, Lewis, Skagit, Snohomish, Thurston, and Whatcom counties. Why should I care? Butterfly bushes form dense, shrubby thickets that exclude all other plants and displace native vegetation such as willows. They can supplant other plants as nectar sources and thus reduce their pollination."

Milkweed plants are herbaceous perennials. Characteristics Common milkweed plants are tall (3 feet), thin, summer-bloomers. The flower cluster forms a globe atop the plant's rigid stem. The flowers come in various shades of pink, and they are fragrant flowers. Leaves are broad-oblong and light green. Seed pods that resemble small cucumbers succeed the flowers. The pods, in turn, burst open in late summer to early fall, exposing their seeds. The seeds are attached to white silky hairs, meaning the slightest wind will distribute them.

They report that the heaviest browsing occurs from October through February, when food is naturally scarce.

Not surprisingly, deer tend to stay away from poisonous plants . Daffodils, foxgloves, and poppies are common flowers that have a toxicity that deer avoid."

Dans Photo Art on flickr/Getty Images For those who enjoy both gardening and bird watching, it is fortunate that there is such a plenitude of plants for attracting hummingbirds from which to choose. Bird watchers desirous of drawing these beauties with nectar-filled flowers need not sacrifice landscaping beauty at all. It is one of those happy coincidences in life: many of the plants adept at attracting our attention are also considered among the best flowers to draw hummingbirds, hungry for the food that they bear. The variety of plants for attracting hummingbirds is so great that, in the process of building hummingbird gardens, you could also be building a landscape that will be the talk of the neighborhood. In selecting flowers for such gardens, you are not limited to using red flowers, although the color, red is famous for catching the attention of these winged wonders. In the following list of flowers commonly used for attracting hummingbirds, you will see lots of red flowers, but also flowers in purple, white, orange, pink, and blue. They're all rich in nectar, the hummingbird food par excellence. Nor should the selection of plants suitable for your hummer garden be based solely on flower color. Plants have many other qualities that make them more or less compatible with your particular needs and wants."

Answer by Maon10 Confidence votes 36Poision ivy has an oil on its leaves that when they come in contact with our skin, it makes a chemical burn or rash. Poision oak has a pollen that when magnified, looks like a porcupine and when it makes contact with our skin, the skin will expand around the pollen and make a small liquid filled environment to contain the pollen. Both of these are the plants natural defenses. The poison oak is more contageous if it has little clusters of white berries on it.

They can handle a variety of conditions and once established, should thrive with rain water only. The shrubs' height and versatility make them perfect for several spots in your garden. Use butterfly bushes for privacy, where you can bird watch from a window, or just downwind from a seating area to make the most of their fragrance. And be sure to complement the colors of your favorite butterfly bush with a low-growing shrub. For example, pair a Black Knight's violet blooms with your favorite yellow rose.

Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 through 10, producing long, arching branches with gray-green leaves that stay on the bush all winter in USDA zones 7 through 10. The flowers are the main attraction -- especially for butterflies.

Posted in Informational, Newsletter Tagged: Deer Resistant, Figs, gardening, perennials, Texas Perennials DEER IN CENTRAL TEXASOne of the great challenges of gardening here in central Texas is keeping the deer from turning a landscape into their evening salads. Deer are amazingly adaptable creatures and no one as of yet has come up with a foolproof method of keeping them from eating your landscape beyond high fences. There are steps one can take to help reduce the chances they will munch your flower beds, but no single step is “the” answer. First, don’t feed them. If deer become comfortable eating in your yard and food becomes scarce, your landscape is still in their comfort zone. If for some reason your neighbor feeds the deer or you wish to try something else as a next step, you can use a deer repellent. These repellents mimic either the strong fragrance or the foul tasting sap that we often find in plants that deer don’t like. We strongly recommend repellents for people who can’t live without plants that deer love i.e. roses. We also strongly recommend using repellents with any and all new plantings."

"text": "\" [ Front Page] [ Features] [ Departments] [ SGAP Home Page] [ Subscribe]Australian Native Poisonous Plants Dr Ross Mc Kenzie Plant poisoning is nationally important to Australia. About a thousand species of plants here are known to be toxic to livestock and humans. Poisoning of livestock by the more important of these costs us about $100 million each year. Deaths of cattle from plant poisoning in Queensland cost over $10 million yearly. Sixty percent of the toxic plants in Australia are native to this country and have their major economic effect on agricultural enterprises which produce livestock by grazing native pastures. These industries contribute significantly to export-generated income and thus to our prosperity as a nation. This makes the reduction of the effects of plant poisoning on livestock one of the serious concerns of the pastoral industries. The toxic native species belong to about 70 of the over 200 native plant families in Australia. Families with more than 10 toxic species include the legumes (Fabaceae, Mimosaceae), the nightshades and tobaccos (Solanaceae), the spurges (Euphorbiaceae), the grasses (Poaceae), the cycads (Cycadaceae, Zamiaceae), the saltbushes (Chenopodiaceae), the riceflowers (Thymelaeaceae) and the buttercups (Ranunculaceae). Some genera are generally toxic (for example Macrozamia and Pimelea ), but it is important to note that a number of important toxic species (for example Erythrophleum chlorostachys and Trema tomentosa) have few or no known toxic relatives."

Plumbago is a tender perennial that has lovely flowers of blue. There is a white form which mixes well in plantings with the blue. The plumbago blooms non-stop from summer until first frost. It seems to have no diseases or pests -- even deer and other varmints will not eat it in some neighborhoods. Although it blooms best in full sun, the plumbago can take considerable shade and still have an abundance of blooms. It will keep your yard full of butterflies all summer. In South Texas , the plumbago is an evergreen that will reach two to three feet high and three to four feet wide. It should be cut to the ground every fall or winter. Plumbago will flower profusely after being cut back or after a growth flush, as it bears flowers on new wood."

These tough bushes grow quickly; attract pollinators, like butterflies; and resist disease like champs. They’re excellent choices for low maintenance landscapes, but even these low care plants may run into an occasional problem. Brown spots on butterfly bush leaves are a common symptom in Buddleia when issues do occur. Buddleia leaf spot isn’t anything to worry about, though, as long as you figure out what’s causing it and manage it promptly. Butterfly Bush Has Brown Leaf Spots Growers are often alarmed when leaf spots appear suddenly and spread across leaf surfaces. Buddleia leaves with spots can be caused by a few different problems, including fungal disease and sap-sucking pests. A butterfly bush with spotted leaves should be checked carefully from top to bottom before treatment, just to be sure you’ve fingered the right culprit. Fungal leaf spots and downy mildew cause many widespread spots, ranging in color from yellow to tan and even black or brown. These spots may be circular or irregular, but they usually develop fruiting bodies shortly after they make their appearance."

"text": "\"Types of Knives Written by Steven Musumeche Knives can be categorized based on either form or function. Below you will find a list of knives categorized by knife form and knife function. Knife Types by Form Knives exist in several styles: Fixed Blade Knives A fixed blade is a knife in which the blade does not fold and extends most of the way into the handle. This type of knife is typically stronger and larger than a folding knife. Activities that require a strong blade, such as hunting or fighting, typically rely on fixed blade knives. Some famous fixed blade designs include the Ka-bar and Bowie knives. Folding Knives A folding or pocket knife is one that has a pivot between handle and blade, allowing the blade to fold into the handle. Most folding knives are small working blades, pocket knives are usually folding knives. Some folding knives have a locking mechanism: The most tranditional and commonplace lock is the slip-joint. This isn't really a lock at all, and is found most commonly on traditional pocket knives."

"text": "The Legality of Assisted-Opening Knives Written by Timothy Martinez Jr. An assisted-opening knife can be legally manufactured, sold and possessed under federal law. Although they are often confused with switchblades, assisted-opening knives differ from switchblades in many ways. One of the ways the two knives differ is that while switchblades are prohibited, assisted-opening knives are perfectly legal. In 2009, the Federal Switchblade Act was actually revised and clarified so that assisted-opening knives would not fall under the prohibition of the act, which only outlawed switchblades. The change made sure that the Federal Switchblade Act does not apply to:“a knife that contains a spring, detent, or other mechanism designed to create a bias toward closure of the blade and that requires exertion applied to the blade by hand, wrist, or arm to overcome the bias toward closure to assist in opening the knife.” ( Source)Even though assisted-opening knives are not prohibited by the federal government, you cannot carry assisted-opening knives, or any others, into areas where knives are generally prohibited, such as courthouses, federal buildings, schools and airports. Again, the federal law does not prohibit assisted-opening knives, but states have interpreted the law in different ways and often have other restrictions. For example, in some states, any knife including assisted-opening knives with a blade length of more than 2.5 inches is illegal to carry. You must refer to your state laws to determine whether your knife meets state requirements, but rest assured that assisted-opening knives are legal in all 50 states. Since state knife laws are constantly evolving, thanks to organizations like Knife Rights that keep pushing through legislation that clarifies the legality of assisted-opening knives and removes arbitrary restrictions, it’s always important to look at the most up-to-date information for your state."

Across the UK and Republic of Ireland, it is against the law to carry a knife or an offensive weapon in a public place unless you have a good reason. If police think you are carrying an offensive weapon they can stop and search you. Exception Smaller knives - like pen knives - can confuse things a bit as they are not illegal as long as the blade is shorter than 7.62 cm (three inches). But it all depends why you're carrying it. Teachers can search pupils for knives It's OK if you're going fishing and have a penknife in your bag to use while you're fishing. BUT if you're carrying it for protection or to use as a weapon, then that's against the law. It's very unusual for someone under the age of 16 to have a good reason for carrying any kind of knife in a public place, so it's safer not to do it. In school This doesn't always stop children from taking knives to school to \"\"defend\"\" themselves or using them to threaten others.

The state authorities do not take these offenses lightly, and you could easily end up facing serious felony charges if you are accused of violating many Texas weapon laws. Serious weapons offenses in Texas can include: Illegally possessing or carrying a weapon,Improperly discharging a gun, or Using a weapon in the commission of a crime. And, you can be charged not just for having or using an illegal weapon yourself, but also if you sell or give one to another person, or allow a child to get access to an unsecured firearm. Even if you have a legal right to possess or carry a weapon, you may be charged if you aren’t careful who you allow to use it. Open Handgun Carry Laws As of January 1st, 2016, Texas is officially an open-carry state for handguns. However, many people don’t understand that you still must have a concealed handgun license to open carry, or you can face criminal charges. Other weapons possession or carry charges frequently arise out of encounters with the police, such as traffic stops or stop-and-frisks on the street. The police also may charge you if they receive a tip from an informant that you have a weapon, or if they find one while arresting you on an unrelated charge. While some weapons offenses are misdemeanors, a conviction can still have serious effects on your life because future employers and others who view your criminal record may consider it similar to a crime of violence."

"text": "Oregon Knife Laws Oregon knife laws are found mostly in the Court’s decisions, or case law, and not in the statutes, which can make it not only hard to understand, but difficult to find. This article puts the law together in an easy to read way that even those without legal training will be able to find and understand what is legal and what is not, when it comes to owning and carrying knives in Oregon. What is Legal to Own It is legal to own a dirk, dagger, or other stabbing knife It is legal to own a Bowie knife It is legal to own a switchblade or other automatic knife It is legal to own a ballistic knife It is legal to own a gravity knife It is legal to own a Balisong, or butterfly knife and Balisong trainer It is legal to own a stiletto What is Illegal to Own Oregon law does not restrict the ownership of any type of knife for those who have not been convicted of a felony. As a matter of fact, in 1984 in State v. Delgado, the Supreme Court of Oregon found that former Oregon statute § 166.510 (1) was unconstitutional because it prohibited the mere possession and mere carrying of a weapon. The Court believed that restricting the possession and open carrying of weapons for non-felons was a violation of a person’s right to bear arms under the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. What the Law Says166.240 Carrying of concealed weapons. ( 1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, any person who carries concealed upon the person any knife having a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force, any dirk, dagger, ice pick, slungshot, metal knuckles, or any similar instrument by the use of which injury could be inflicted upon the person or property of any other person, commits a Class B misdemeanor. Possession and Carry of Weapons by a Felon A person who has been convicted of a felony may not own a knife with a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force. He or she also may not open or conceal carry a dirk, dagger, or stiletto. Restrictions on Carry It is illegal to conceal carry a dirk, dagger, or any stabbing knife It is illegal to conceal carry a Balisong, or butterfly knife It is illegal to conceal carry a gravity knife It is illegal to conceal carry any knife with a blade that projects or swings into position by force of a spring or by centrifugal force (swinging the knife around)It is legal to conceal carry a pocketknife It is legal to conceal carry a switchblade It is legal to open carry any type of knife It may appear that a switchblade has a blade that “projects by force of a spring” and therefore is a knife which one cannot legally conceal carry."

"text": "\"Introduction: This section of my research is focused on the spiritual and mythological significance of dragonflies and butterflies. I have included short myths and folklore as well as poems and quotes related to the spirituality of dragonflies and butterflies and photos. Mythologies referencing the dragonfly and butterfly, for example from Japanese, Chinese, Native American, Greek, Egyptian and European mythology and folklore as well as in religious beliefs, explore the symbolisms and human to nonhuman relationships within the context of death and spirituality. I chose to research mythology in particular because of the range of topics mythology encompasses. By presenting the human and nonhuman spiritual relationships that existed in stories from around the world, and have remained throughout the changes in discourse, demonstrates that these relationship and connections are important to recognize and revisit. As humans continue to study and learn more about nonhuman animals and the ways in which they are different from humans, I think it is important to share the ways in which we are the same. I hope by presenting the presence of human-nonhuman connection through historical stories, which still is present in modern stories, the animal experience and animal emotion, especially during mourning and grieving, will allow for more connectedness with all animals. In my research, I was intrigued to find the similarities and differences of symbolism and significance of dragonflies and butterflies in different cultures and different times. The similarities and connections of symbolism shows how the dragonfly and butterfly relationship with humans has been an everlasting one, as butterflies and dragonflies are one of the oldest known surviving creatures to exist in our world. “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious."

Butterfly knives are two handled knives which counter roatate around the tang so that when they are closed, the blade is concealed in the handle. A competent user can get the blade of a butterfly knife out of the handles quickly through some very basic handle flips. We have a wide selection of styles and prices. Some of our top end butterfly knives include the new 53 from Benchmade Knives and the ever popular Kimura butterfly knives from Bradley. We also have many great butterfly knives at low prices. Our collection of cheap butterfly knives includes a large assortment of colors and sizes. For a beginner, any size works, but a heavy handled balisong can hurt your hand.

The judge ruled that the butterfly knife the defendant possessed was not an \"\"Offensive Weapon\"\" under Section 908 (c) of the Crimes Code, 18 Pa. C. S. That being said, police officers are not always the most well-versed in case law. They may genuinely believe them to be illegal, and try to confiscate it under the threat of a ticket. Don't buy it, it's a scare tactic. The good officer just doesn't want you to use it for a crime, reasonable enough.

What is called deer hunting elsewhere is deer stalking. As of 2012 game shooting and deer stalking are carried on as field sports in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Hunting with hounds in the traditional manner became unlawful in Scotland in 2002 and in England and Wales in 2005, but continues in certain excepted forms. Traditional foxhunting continues in Northern Ireland. Following a trail (similar to drag hunting) rather than a live quarry has subsequently grown in importance in Great Britain, as has hunting foxes to a bird of prey. The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) says that over a million people a year participate in shooting, including game shooting, clay shooting and target shooting.

Knives like switchblades, spring-assisted knives, butterfly knives and others are legal in some states and illegal in others. Knife Laws of the 50 States Getting caught or crossing state lines with an illegal knife or switchblade can lead to serious consequences like fines or even jail time, so it’s important to know your state’s knife laws and the knife laws of any state you may travel to. It is important to remember that state laws are not always the same as the local or federal laws. Every state has its own law when it comes to carrying a switchblade and the only federal law is the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958 and the 2009 amendment to the act which applies to individuals who are traveling between states and internationally. To better understand each law, below are the 50 states along with their knife laws. Click here to see the FULL HD image!1.

The first European to discover the species was Albert Stewart Meek in 1906, a collector employed by Walter Rothschild to collect natural history specimens from New Guinea. Although the first specimen was taken with the aid of a small shotgun [ citation needed], Meek soon discovered the early stages and bred out most of the first specimens. Though most authorities now classify this species in the genus Ornithoptera, it has formerly been placed in the genus Troides or the now defunct genus Aethoptera. In 2001 the lepidopterist Gilles Deslisle proposed placing it in its own subgenus (which some writers have treated as a genus); he originally proposed the name Zeunera, but this is a junior homonym (with Zeunera Piton 1936 [Orthoptera]), and his replacement is Straatmana.

"text": "\"Knife Laws Whether you own a Swiss Army pocket knife, a Bowie hunting knife, a stiletto switchblade, a dagger, or a butterfly knife, knife owners are often subject to federal, state, and local laws. Although knives are popular as collectibles, tools, and self-defense weapons, carrying a knife or owning certain types of knives may be illegal under state or federal law. In popular media, knives are often depicted as flashy weapons brandished by villains. Knives also have a long history of use in gang violence. As a result, many people glamorize knives and fail to recognize their potential for danger. State Knife Laws Are knives legal? States in the U. S. have differing views on this question. Most states regard short-blade pocket knives as legal. Generally, the longer a knife's blade (e.g., more than 2 or 3 inches), the more likely a state will consider the knife illegal or subject to restriction. Here a few examples: California Carrying a concealed knife with a fixed blade is a misdemeanor (must be worn in plain view); Los Angeles County prohibits fixed blades of 3 inches or more (other municipalities have similar restrictions)."

They are illegal in some states and big cities. Check with your local police or district attorney. If you don't want to attract their attention ask at a good knife or gun shop. They should know. What I don't understand is why you would want a butterfly knife. They really are not very good for much. You're more likely to cut yourself flicking the blade around than you are to actually use it for anything.winterrules · 9 years ago0 1 Comment They are illegal to carry in some states, but not others, so it depends where you live. The reason for the bans is CULTURE and image, not any sort of practical matter about how fast the blade comes out."

"text": "\"Politics & Government Law & Ethics Are butterfly knives legal in North Carlolina? Title says it all, thanks!Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Only an attorney at law, licensed and in good standing with the bar, in North Carolina, may provide you with advice regarding this subject on which you may actually rely. Most states determine knife legality based on the length of the blade. It varies from state to state, but anything longer than four (4) inches is generally considered illegal in most states; except in the case of what are called \"\"gravity\"\" knives, where anything longer than two (2) inches is considered illegal in most states. Gravity knives include switchblades as well as balisongs; and so are illegal, regardless of blade length, in many states. Whether or not such a knife is illegal in any given state may also depend on how it's carried. If the knife is concealed in some states, then it may not matter the blade's length and its mere concealment may be what makes it illegal; or, in other states, even a blade longer than 4 inches could be legal as long as it's not concealed. Again, it just varies from state to state. The balisong is tricky, and I would be very, very careful about carrying it... in ANY state. That said, I have in my records a (now probably outdated) list of state laws regarding the possession, carrying and/or use of certain kinds of knives... ...and it says that possession of the balisong in North Carolina is legal; and that it's legal to carry as long as it's not concealed."

This article puts all of the laws together in an easy to understand way, so that anyone can figure out what is legal and what is not when it comes to owning and carrying knives in the state of Washington. What is Legal to Own It is legal to own a dirk, dagger, or other stabbing knife It is legal to own bowie knife It is legal to own a stiletto It is legal to own a disguised knife, such as a lipstick or belt buckle It is legal to own throwing stars What is Illegal to Own It is illegal to own a switchblade or other spring blade knife in the state of Washington. Restrictions on Carry It is illegal to conceal carry a dirk It is illegal to conceal carry a dagger It is illegal to conceal carry any dangerous weapon It is illegal to open or conceal carry any weapon into a Courtroom It is also illegal to carry or display a dagger, sword, knife, or other cutting or stabbing instrument in a manner or under circumstances that would cause alarm or show an intent to intimidate another. In 1994, in State v. Spencer, the Supreme Court of Washington held that there must be a sufficient basis for the alarm, such that a reasonable person would be alarmed. Also in 1994, the Court held, in State v. Byrd, that because the display of a weapon in a manner that caused reasonable fear or alarm could be done without intent, a violation of the statute did not require intent. This means that one does not have to intend to cause alarm or fear in order to be guilty of a crime under the statute. What the Law States§ 9.41.250. Dangerous weapons — Penalty (1) Every person who… (a) Manufactures, sells, or disposes of or possesses any instrument or weapon of the kind usually known as slung shot, sand club, or metal knuckles, or spring blade knife (b) Furtively carries with intent to conceal any dagger, dirk, pistol, or other dangerous weapon Definitions of Various Types of Knives A spring blade knife is defined by Washington statute as a knife with a blade that is automatically released by a spring or other mechanical devise or with a blade that opens, falls, or is ejected by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal movement (spinning the knife). No other knife is defined by the statutes or by the case law."

"text": "\"Knife Law By K. L. Jamison, ESQ // 05/01/2007A Missouri Court ruled that a butter knife was a weapon; much like another court that found a BB gun was lethal at 400 yards. This has the makings of a column on stupid decisions. A decidedly primitive hunter attracted the attention of game wardens who admired his Stone Age bow and equipment. But his stone knife was a problem. The knife was double-edged, which was authentic for the Stone Age, but a violation of modern state law. The hunter was advised to never carry the dagger again, and warned that the next time he might encounter a more rigid officer concerned with legal technicalities. 1 The hunter thought that he had already met such a person, but perhaps it is a matter of degree. Saw features on knives are often taken as designed for lethal effect, but appear on knives clearly not designed for fighting. People who carry guns for defense often carry knives as well. There is a famous picture of a W. W. II British commando showing off his Commando knife."

Knife Construction Parts of a Knife Tip The tip of the knife is at the opposite end of the handle and is pointed, sharp and fairly thin. It is typically pointed but there are some knives with ends that are cut off straight, rounded or at a slant. The tip is used for cutting small items, cutting food into thin strips, and carving. It is also used for making incisions, such as would be used when making a slit in the side of pork chops or chicken breasts where stuffing would be added. Cutting Edge The cutting edge is the bottom edge of the blade that runs from the heel to the tip of the blade. It is very sharp and can be straight cut or serrated. The cutting edge is used to slice, cut or chop food items both large and small, with the middle of the blade being used most often."

"text": "Bureaucracy 1Essay #2: The four basic types of bureaucracy in the federal government today are cabinet departments, government corporations, independent regulatory agencies, and independent executive agencies. The departments, such as the Department of the Interior, are large bureaucratic agencies each headed by a member of the cabinet, such as the Secretary of the Interior or, for the Department of Justice, the attorney general. There are fifteen departments in the bureaucracy today and each heads a large section of the bureaucracy with many agencies within it and governed by it. Government corporations are very similar to private corporations. They provide a service to the private sector and charge for that service. Government corporations include the United States Postal Service and the Tennessee Valley Authority. The service that those corporations (and all government corporations) provide could be handled by the private sector, but, for one reason or the other, the government has decided to provide instead. Independent regulatory agencies do just what their name suggests – they regulate. They regulate the activities of most sectors of society and often the actions of many other agencies. Such agencies include the SEC, which oversees Wall Street and the FRB, which regulates the Federal Reserve."

The purpose of a bureaucracy is the efficient administration of rules, regulations, and policies. Governments, businesses and other institutions such as colleges and universities perforce have bureaucracies. A. Public and Private Bureaucracies. Public bureaucracies are governmental bureaucracies that do not have a single set of leaders in the way that private or business bureaucracies do."

Doctrine May Be Tested at Gorsuch Hearing Deal Professor By STEVEN DAVIDOFF SOLOMON MARCH 14, 2017Harry Campbell The confirmation hearing for the Supreme Court nominee, Judge Neil M. Gorsuch, is set for next week, and a sundry list of big issues is bound to be brought up. One involves an arcane legal doctrine known as Chevron deference, which many say will be crucial to the Trump administration’s plans to tame the regulatory state. Chevron deference, named after the legal case from which it arose, Chevron U. S. A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, addresses what courts should do when Congress passes a law with an ambiguous interpretation. This happens more than you might think, involving laws from financial regulation to drug safety. The Dodd-Frank Act alone requires 390 rules to be promulgated, with the Volcker Rule by itself running 950 pages, including interpretations. In today’s regulatory world, agencies often step in to fill the gap, putting forth their own interpretation of a statute. The principle of the Chevron case says that a federal court will defer to a federal agency’s views. One rationale for this doctrine is that an agency, with its expertise, is better positioned than a judge to know a statute’s meaning.

The Head of State has more ceremonial duties, while the Head of Government is responsible for running the government of a country with the approval of his or her cabinet. Head of State In a monarchy, federation, republic, commonwealth or any other form of state, the Head of State serves as an individual who is the chief public representative. The Head of the State is considered the first citizen, or the leader of the nation. His or her role is ceremonial; for example, In the U. K and Japan, the head of the state is a Monarch. In Germany, the President is elected as the Head of the state. The main role or duty of the Head of the State, involves attending political functions, exercising political powers, and legitimizing the state. These functions include greeting foreign dignitaries, and calling sessions of parliament. The Head of State also has the power to call for early elections. In some countries the Head of State can call for a President’s rule in emergency situations."

On 7 February, he sent a letter to Suharto saying that he was willing to hand over the running of the government to the General but also added that he would like to continue on as head of state. [ 1] In the time between the arrival of that letter and the formulation of the reply, the People's Representative Council (DPR) passed a resolution which called for a Special Session of the Provisional People's Consultative Assembly (MPRS). Suharto, accompanied by the commanders of the Navy, Air Force, and Police, met with Sukarno on 11 February to reject his offer and to wait instead for the result of the MPRS Special Session. [ 2]On 20 February 1967, Sukarno chose to relinquish all executive power to Suharto whilst still retaining his position as president. [ 2] Sukarno's decision did not stop the DPR from insisting that the MPRS Special Session go ahead. Originally calling for an MPRS Special Session to be held for the purpose of reviewing Sukarno’s performance as well as reaching a final decision on whether or not he was involved with the 30 September Movement (G30S), the DPR now asked that the MPRS Special Session add Suharto's election as acting president to the agenda. The Special Session was opened on 7 March 1967."

"text": "Another president is reorganizing government. Again. By Jack Shafer January 17, 2012Newly elected presidents call for the reorganization of the federal government with such regularity that a federal Department of Reorganization should be established to assist them in their attempts to downsize the bureaucracy, eliminate redundant agencies, reduce red tape, cut costs, and tame the out-of-control agencies created and fed by the presidents elected before them. If you’re earnest enough to think that those moves will actually reduce the size or cost of federal government, I’ve got a monument I’d like to sell you. President Barack Obama originally promised to streamline federal bureaucracy in his 2011 State of the Union speech but only got around to specifics last Friday, as he requested new powers to merge agencies subject to an up-or-down vote by Congress. Obama’s first target: the Commerce Department. He wants to meld the Small Business Administration and five additional trade and business agencies into one body that would replace the Department of Commerce. Obama promised savings of $3 billion over the next decade and to cut 1,000 to 2,000 jobs through attrition over the same period. The presidential urge to reorganize goes back to Theodore Roosevelt, who established the Keep Commission in 1905 to bring efficiency and accountability to bureaucracy. Scholar Oscar Kraines admiringly called Roosevelt’s attempt to remake Washington in his image “a bold step … to break down the long-existing aim and the tendency of Congress to retain full legislative authority in the management of the public business.”"

Darren Hauck for The New York Times WASHINGTON — As a physicist, Steven Chu has seen atoms suspended in a powerful laser beam and DNA stretched out in a vacuum chamber. But in his new job as energy secretary, Dr. Chu is observing phenomena he never saw in the science laboratory. At a recent Senate hearing, for example, he witnessed a junior cabinet member (himself) being systematically dissected by a senior senator (John Mc Cain). Mr. Mc Cain, Republican of Arizona, was unhappy when Dr. Chu affirmed the Obama administration’s intention to suspend work at a planned nuclear waste site in Nevada. “ What’s wrong with Yucca Mountain, Dr. Chu?” he demanded repeatedly as Dr. Chu tried to explain. “I think we can do a better job,” Dr. Chu finally replied. For a slight, soft-spoken Nobel laureate, Washington has been an initiation that he has likened to being “dumped in the deep end of the pool.” Dr. Chu, 61, was chairman of Stanford’s physics department and ran a national research laboratory."

Bureaucracies have come to be associated with “waste, confusion, red tape, and rigidity.” We blame many of our problems on “the bureaucracy.” But in actuality, many of the problems are a result of the actions of Congress, the courts, and the president. Distinctiveness of the American Bureaucracy Bureaucratic government is a part of all modern societies. However, the United States has three aspects of constitutional system and political traditions that make it distinctive. Political authority over the bureaucracy is shared among several institutions rather than placed into one set of hands. This contrasts with systems such as the British one, where the prime minister rules supreme (in theory). Most agencies of the federal government share functions with related agencies in state and local government. This contrasts with systems present in places like France, where the things like education, health, housing, etc."

C., includes the Vice President and the heads of 15 executive departments: the secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Attorney General, who heads the Department of Justice. In addition, in every administration a small number of other senior officials are normally accorded Cabinet rank and attend Cabinet meetings as principals. In the Obama administration, these include the White House Chief of Staff, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the U. S. Trade Representative, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, and the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. The executive departments are the bread and butter of the federal bureaucracy. They employ the majority of federal workers and account for most discretionary spending. George Washington’s administration had only three departments: State, Treasury, and War. Each of these three still exists today, although the War Department became the Department of Defense in the late 1940s. Other departments have been added by Congress as the need arose, and the addition of new executive departments accelerated during the 20th century. The most recently minted organization, the Department of Homeland Security, was established in 2002 in response to the 9/11 attacks of 2001. All large and complicated organizations have a degree of arbitrariness in their structure, and the federal bureaucracy is no different."

"text": "\"The Prime Minister of Canada While the Queen may be Canada’s head of state, and the governor general the Queen’s ceremonial stand-in, it’s the prime minister who truly rules Canada. Known as the nation’s head of government, his office is said to be one of the most powerful leadership positions in any western democracy, meaning a great deal of Canadian political life revolves around his deeds and decisions. Liberal Party of Canada Voting for the PMEven though the prime minister of Canada is not directly elected, Canadian elections are always run on the explicit premise that a vote for a local member of parliament is a vote for his or her party leader to become prime minister. Seen here, an online campaign ad from Liberal leader Justin Trudeau (b. 1971), who was successfully elected prime minister in 2015. How is the Prime Minister of Canada Elected? As explained in more detail in the Parliamentary system chapter, during a Canadian federal election voters across Canada elect members to fill the 338 seats in the House of Commons. The leader of the political party who wins the most seats is then summoned by the governor general and sworn in as prime minister shortly after the election concludes. He or she can keep getting re-elected in this manner forever, or they can lose office once a different party wins the majority of seats instead. Parties generally have high standards for who they are willing to make their leaders, so most Canadian prime ministers are accomplished politicians who have been involved in national politics for quite some time. Usually, they’ll be a former cabinet minister (see below) who had some track record of accomplishment serving in the administration of a prior PM."

By holding up funding congress may have allocated he cold just see that it never gets there till the end of the year, or not approve their actions so.

"text": "Home/ Reviews/ 2010 Cadillac SRX2010 Cadillac SRXBy New Car Test Drive September 21, 2009Tweet Print Find Car Buy New Find Used The 2010 Cadillac SRX is all-new for the 2010 model year. There's nothing left of the original SRX but the name. Whereas the original SRX used a rear-wheel-drive platform with a longitudinal engine and a choice of V6 or V8, the new version is built on a front-wheel-drive platform with a transverse-mounted V6 engine. Where the old SRX was a three-row, seven-seat SUV, the new one has two rows and five seats. And, although GM has been known for its global platform-sharing way of doing things, this vehicle shares its underpinnings with only one other vehicle, the Saab 9-4X, which has not been introduced yet. The exterior design is all new, crisper and sharper than the original, with a lot less of the slab-sided look. The interior shares much of its technology and some of its design with the 2010 Cadillac CTS sedan, which we count as a good thing. The Cadillac puts the SRX in the midsize luxury sport utility vehicle segment, one of the largest and fastest-growing segments in the industry at about 25 percent of the total sales. Cadillac counts as the SRX's direct competitors the Acura MDX, Lexus RX 350, Mercedes-Benz GLK, Audi Q5, and BMW X3. Initially, all SRX models will be powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine, the same engine that powers the Cadillac CTS, and will come with a Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic transmission."

The SRX is based on the Cadillac Sigma platform and has a variety of engine and interior options. There is an SRX as well as an SRX-V model, although the SRX-V model was not produced after 2005. Cadillac does not intend to replace the SRX before 2008, and between now and then the company plans to release a sports package SRX as well as an upgrade and even restyling of the interior of the SRX, which will make this an even more luxurious and sporty crossover SUV. Equipped with just enough style, comfort, and power, this crossover sport utility vehicle appeals too many. This luxury crossover SUV has two engine options, which are either a 4.6 liter 320 horsepower Northstar V8 engine or a 260 horsepower high feature V6 engine. Both engine options are coupled with a five speed automatic transmission with an option for all wheel drive on both, as well. Both the V8 and the V6 models offer all leather interior as well as curtain side airbags. The V8 offers a couple more features including heated front seats and beautiful wood trim inside, all of these features are available as options in the V6. Both models are available with optional navigation systems, DVD players, a sunroof, and foldable third row seating."

"text": "Ask typical owners why they drive SUVs, and you’ll hear, “I have a dog. Also, I like a high seating position in traffic,” or words to that effect. Now that first-person shooter games are all anyone needs to stroke his or her spirit of adventure, SUVs still thrive because there are dozens to choose from and because they beat every car’s carrying capacity. When you’re hauling Fido to the vet, taking the kids camping, or schlepping fuel for your Le Mons racer, an SUV— even a small crossover—makes sense. Highs Looks nothing like the box it came in, drives with unprecedented verve. Lows No stick shift this time around, 250 or so pounds heavier than its predecessor. Verdict Has a good shot at resuming its previous role as America’s favorite SUV. Ford figured out the SUV better than most, first with the mid-size Explorer, later with the compact Escape. Since Dearborn’s boxy baby rolled forth in 2000, more than 2 million have been sold, with only modest design and engineering updates. Last year, when the original platform was on its last legs, the Escape was still America’s most popular SUV, with more than a quarter-mil- lion sales."

The 2014 Infiniti QX50 may wear a new badge, but it's a familiar shape. For the past few years, it's been the compact crossover in the Infiniti lineup, sold under the EX nameplate. Now that Infiniti's switched to a \"\"QX\"\" badge for its crossovers and SUVs, the QX50 stakes out a claim in the putative middle of the lineup. In size and shape, the QX50 is roughly in the template of a number of other compact luxury crossover vehicles, such as the Acura RDX, the Lexus RX 350, Cadillac SRX, and BMW X3. But what makes the EX a bit different is that it's essentially a tall wagon, built on true sport-sedan underpinnings. There's no effort to be rugged or trail-friendly--definitely less of an effort to maximize interior space and versatility as well. It overdelivers on responsiveness, driving dynamics, and decidedly non-crossover looks, while offering an intimate cabin look and feel that feels anything but mass-market. In style and performance, the QX50 is a very satisfying vehicle. It's exceptionally well-proportioned and confounds the expectations of some blandness in utility."

The Cadillac brand, now a luxury division under General Motors, is known for its prestige and beauty combined with quality. Over the years, it has been known for producing quality senior-friendly sedans. However, it has expanded its production lines to net the younger generation with SUVs, high-performance wagons, and crossovers. Here are some of the most popular models that have come from its production lines.2014 Cadillac ATS Sedan2014 Cadillac ATS Sedan The Cadillac ATS is a choice car for those looking for a sports sedan that combines luxury with functionality.

Riding on GM's new rear/all-wheel-drive Alpha platform, the ATS was optimized at the demanding Nurburgring track in Germany and has the responsive driving dynamics to prove it. Recent Changes For the latest model year, Cadillac added Apple Watch integration, a new infotainment system, and standard heated seats. Overview Stylistically, the ATS exhibits a softer, somewhat conservative take on Cadillac's once-edgy Art & Science design language. Narrow, elongated headlights that extend halfway down the sides of the hood are a distinctive touch, while a rising beltline adds a hint of athleticism. The ATS is smaller than Cadillac's CTS sedan and nearly identical to the 3-Series in all major dimensions. Cadillac says that the ATS undercuts its competitors with a curb weight as low as 3,400 pounds (for base models), which was achieved by employing lightweight materials such as an aluminum hood, magnesium engine mount brackets and natural-fiber door trim panels."

It sits between the compact MKC crossover and the three-row MKT and Navigator SUVs. The automaker shelved the MKX name for 2019 and rebranded the crossover as the Lincoln Nautilus. The MKX was new for the 2016 model year and largely carried over into 2018. It's based on the latest Ford Edge running gear, but with its own styling, drivetrain choices, and and a new mission to pull Lincoln buyers higher up the price spectrum. With prices starting just below $40,000 but approaching $70,000 in fully outfitted versions, the MKX is likely to be cross-shopped against crossovers like the Lexus RX 350, Acura RDX and MDX, Cadillac SRX, Buick Enclave, and Volvo XC60. MORE: Read our 2018 Lincoln MKX review The new Lincoln MKXFor 2016, the MKX was completely restyled with handsome lines borrowed from the smaller MKC crossover. The latest MKX has a design meant to appeal to upper-class suburbanites who need all-weather usability in a roomy, comfortable car. The feeling is much more dynamic overall, with the somewhat stodgy air of the last model now completely washed away. Interior quality is improved as well, and the cabin design is much more interesting, although there are a lot of different surface treatments competing for the eye's attention."

At the end of an exciting race the Fabio Babini/Thomas Biagi crew (Vitaphone Racing Team) secured their first win of the season.

Three Italians were on the podium and so the Vitaphone Racing Team maintains the lead in the team championship ahead of the JMB Racing team . Behind the two MC12s came the Corvette Hezemans/Longin/Kumpen crew. They came in just in front of the Saleen with Gounon/Lechner in the driving seat.

The 2013 SRX update includes a facelift, a redesigned interior, and more technology, anchored by the new Cadillac User Experience (CUE) infotainment system in the center stack. Motivating force for the SRX comes courtesy of a 3.6-liter V-6 making 308 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, mated exclusively to a six-speed automatic. The SRX is rated at 17/24 mpg city/highway with front-wheel drive, and 16/23 mpg with all-wheel drive. The last SRX we drove was a pre-refresh 2012 model mechanically-identical to the current version. We enjoyed how the SRX struck a nice balance between being sporty like a BMW, and plush, like a Lexus. To the latter point, we said, “The cabin is nicely isolated from the outside world, with wind noise almost non-existent and tire noise absent except on horrid pavement. ”This year Cadillac fits the SRX with a new nose, a quieter interior, its CUE infotainment system, and an active safety suite that includes things like radar-based automatic braking, and blind spot monitoring equipment."

The Escalade is the Cadillac of General Motors' SUVs, and that is no small thing. It's quieter than in the past, it's smoother, it's more attractive, and it's more fully equipped, just like GM's other upgraded SUVs and the pickup trucks that spawned them. Of all of them, the Escalade has the most substantial standard powertrain, cabin, and technology upgrades--as well as some truly swanky touches. Completely redesigned last year with generous improvements to refinement, technology and comfort, the 2016 Cadillac Escalade continues to embody the spirit of tasteful excess. It's built for people who want everything--utility, luxury, and capability--and Escalade buyers will find all of that in a undeniably stylish package. While the Escalade's new lines are crisp and sophisticated, it's the full LED lighting that creates the most effective drama, front and rear, from the vertically stacked elements on the nose to the rear taillights that soar up to the roof and illuminate the Cadillac logo. Review continues below Escalades used to suffer from subpar interior design, fit, and finish, but no more. Cut-and-sewn upholstery trims out the cabin, with leather and suede tucking neatly next to wood trim with a stunning open-pore treatment. From the front seats--which are heated and cooled as standard--the centerpiece of the dashboard is Cadillac's tablet-like CUE touchscreen system, which can be activated by voice, capacitive touch and swipe gestures."

Published: March 09, 2015 04:10 PMWhat our tests found | Safety feature guide | Safest cars on the road | Best at automatic emergency braking | Worst crash tests Although self-driving cars are years away, some of their souped-up features are already available on contemporary cars—and can save you from a crash. Those crash-avoidance systems can let a car “see” other vehicles or pedestrians well before they are in your line of sight, anticipate some types of collisions, automatically apply the brakes to avoid a crash, and prevent you from crossing lanes into the path of another car. Some systems, such as forward-collision warning, have been around for several years on luxury cars but are filtering down to mainstream vehicles. Others, such as steering assist, are just getting ready for prime time.1,700,000 That's the estimated number of rear-end collisions that occur annually. The life-saving potential of crash-avoidance systems is great enough that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety ( IIHS) tests them as part of its safety evaluations. As of 2015, vehicles must both excel in crash tests and have a front-crash warning system with automatic braking to be named an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus. In addition, that “autobrake” has to function effectively in formal track tests that IIHS conducts. The government’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA) is considering making some of the systems mandatory."

Chevy has used the Malibu name for some awe-inspiring land yachts since the 1960s. The modern interpretation is a mid-size stalwart with a decidedly less thirsty approach to fuel consumption—thanks, turbochargers—and touchscreens. It competes in the savage race for mid-size money with the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, and Hyundai Sonata—just to name a few. Chevy saw it fit to leave the Malibu as it is for the 2018 model year. MORE: Read our 2018 Chevrolet Malibu review The new Chevy Malibu Chevrolet introduced a new Malibu for the 2016 model year. It wears much more dramatic styling and sits atop a wheelbase that's been stretched by 4 inches compared to the current model (which itself was shorter than its predecessor, something customers apparently didn't appreciate). Standard models have a choice of turbocharged 4-cylinder engines, with a 1.5-liter for base models and a 2.0-liter available as an option. The 1.5-liter earns a 37-mpg combined rating. Despite the size increase, Chevy claims a weight loss of about 300 pounds on comparable models."

Had it 2 days and cylinder 1 started missing, took it back and they repaired the problem. No cost to me. On April 1st Easter Sunday I was driving to my family's home in Rosedale MD about 50 miles from my home. About 23 miles into the trip I looked in the rearview mirror and saw nothing but white smoke so I pulled over to the shoulder of a busy highway. Once I stopped the car, turned it off and popped the hood I saw fluid pouring out of the bottom of the car. Started the car back up to move it further in from the line of traffic but when I put it in gear it wouldn't move, turns out the fluid was Transmission fluid. Waited 3 1/2 hours for a tow and never made it to Easter Dinner. The next day I was contacted by the service station to tell me the transmission line going to the cooling radiator unit had blown and both the radiator and line needed replaced and that was gonna cost $850. So within 2 months car has been out of service twice."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Zoology What's the difference between a crocodile, alligator and a caiman???? Just wondering....6 following 10 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Crocodiles typically thrive in saltwater environments and are very aggressive when in comparison to alligators and caimans. Also, the teeth of a croc are visible even when the mouth is closed. Crocodiles also have stubbier, stouter snouts that alligators. Alligators typically thrive in freshwater environments and anatomy-wise, their eyes are more dorsal than a crocodile's and they have longer, more narrow snouts. Caimans are extremely similar to alligators but lack the bony septum in between the nostrils and their armor plating is situated differently. Additionally, their snouts tend to be the stubbiest of all. I also think there may be a difference in where you would typically find one - probably more Indian Ocean or rainforest-type areas.

TYPE: Dermal sensory receptors FUNCTION: Largely unknown - pressure changes, sensory role, underwater prey detection around head, possibly sensitive to changes in salinity in other areas All crocodilians possess 'integumentary sense organs' (ISOs)- that is, sensory cells present in the integumentary layer (skin). These ISOs are often called a number of different names, primarily because their exact function still hasn't been conclusively determined. The image above shows the head of an alligator with an enlarged view of the sensory pits on the outer edge of the lower jaw. In the Alligatorinae family (alligators and caimans) these are the only place that ISOs are found - the upper jaw, nose, around the eyes, lower jaw, even the upper palate. There are none elsewhere on the animal. GULAR REGION (NECK) OF AMERICAN ALLIGATOR GULAR REGION (NECK) OF AMERICAN CROCODILEISOs in members of the Crocodylinae and Gavialinae family are not restricted to the head, but are distributed all over the body.

American alligators can be distinguished from Crocodylus acutus, the American crocodile, and Caiman crocodilus, common caiman, by the presence of a broad, rounded snout, without conspicuous teeth protruding while the mouth is closed (especially the lower 4th tooth) (Behler and King, 1979; Conant and Collins, 1998; Powell et al., 1998). Unlike C. crocodilus, alligators lack a prominent bony ridge in front of and between the eyes (Behler and King, 1979; Conant and Collins, 1998; Powell et al., 1998). See the species accounts titled \"\" Crocodylus acutus (Cuvier, 1807)\"\" and \"\" Caiman crocodilus (Linnaeus, 1758)\"\" on this website for comparison. The general dorsal coloration is black, but light juvenile markings may be present in adults; young have bold, yellowish crossbands on a black background (Grenard, 1991; Conant and Collins, 1998). The voice of both males and females is a throaty, deep, bellowing roar (Mc Ilhenny, 1935; Elliott, 1994; Conant and Collins, 1998). Elliott (1994) has made a recording of this penetrating roar available on a CD. Females may grunt like pigs when calling to their young (Mc Ilhenny, 1935; Conant and Collins, 1998)."

It is a carnivorous reptile that lives along slow-moving rivers, lakes, seasonally flooded savannas of the Amazon basin, and in other freshwater habitats of South America. It is a quite large species, growing to sizes of at least 5 m (16 ft) and possibly up to 6 m (20 ft) in length, which make it the second largest reptile in the Neotropical ecozone, next to the critically endangered Orinoco crocodile [2] [3] [4]. As their name implies, the black caiman has a dark coloration, as an adult. In some individuals, the dark coloration can appear almost black. However, they have grey to brown banding on the lower jaw. Juveniles have a more vibrant coloration compared to adults with prominent white to pale yellow banding on the flanks that remains present well into adulthood, at least more when compared to other species. The morphology is quite different from other caimans but the bony ridge that occurs in other caimans is present. The head is large and heavy, an advantage in catching larger prey. The black caiman is the largest predator in the Amazon ecosystem, preying on a variety of fish, reptiles, birds and mammals. [ 3] They are generalists and apex predators, potentially capable of taking any animal within its range, including other predators. ["

Often those who are most enthusiastic about keeping crocodilians tend to be younger, typically still in their teens. However, given the general unsuitability of crocodilians as \"\"pets\"\" and the experience required to keep them, it is strongly recommended that you are in stable financial position, have longterm facilities available, are physically capable of dealing with very strong and boisterous reptiles, and that you have several years of experience with larger reptiles. Yes it's true, anyone can keep a hatchling alligator or crocodile easily. But they don't stay that way for long. Most teenagers live in times of great change, and their ability to keep a crocodile now may not be the same in a few years. Think very carefully about your future plans, otherwise you will have several feet of very large reptile to try and get rid of when nobody wants it.3.2 Which crocodilian species make the best captives? For many years the spectacled caiman, Caiman crocodilus, has been the most popular crocodilian found in the pet trade.

Shape of the jaw: The easiest way of telling apart crocodiles from alligators, however, is to look at their noses. Alligators (and caimans) have a wide \"\"U\"\"-shaped, rounded snout (like a shovel), whereas crocodiles tend to have longer and more pointed \"\"V\"\"-shaped noses."

Crocodylinae, all of whose members are considered true crocodiles, is classified as a biological subfamily. A broader sense of the term crocodile, Crocodylidae that includes Tomistoma, is not used in this article. The term crocodile here applies to only the species within the subfamily of Crocodylinae. The term is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae ), the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae ), and all other living and fossil Crocodylomorpha. Although they appear similar, crocodiles, alligators and the gharial belong to separate biological families. The gharial, with its narrow snout, is easier to distinguish, while morphological differences are more difficult to spot in crocodiles and alligators. The most obvious external differences are visible in the head, with crocodiles having narrower and longer heads, with a more V-shaped than a U-shaped snout compared to alligators and caimans. Another obvious trait is that the upper and lower jaws of the crocodiles are the same width, and the teeth in the lower jaw fall along the edge or outside the upper jaw when the mouth is closed; therefore, all teeth are visible, unlike an alligator, which possesses in the upper jaw small depressions into which the lower teeth fit."

"text": "\"Close inspection of the nostrils reveals this to be a ... A Siberian-Bengal tiger wasn't the only exotic creature living in Antoine Yates' Harlem apartment. During last Saturday's raid, authorities also seized a 5-foot reptile named Al. Press reports have variously referred to Al as an alligator, a crocodile, and a caiman. What's the difference between the three, and which label is correct? Judging by Al's reported size and the nature of the exotic-pets market, it's clear that the reptile is a caiman, most likely a Caiman crocodilus. Colloquially known as the spectacled caiman, after the bony ridges that encircle its eyes, the species is by far the most common crocodilian among those who keep such animals as household pets. Caimans belong to the same family as the American alligator ( Alligator mississippiensis ); they're more distantly related to crocodiles, which belong to a separate family under the order Crocodylia. The spectacled caiman is found throughout Central and South America, while the American alligator is confined to the southeastern portion of the United States. The other most noticeable difference is size, as male caimans rarely exceed 7 feet in length; alligators, by contrast, regularly grow to double that size. Other distinctions are more subtle, such as the caiman's slightly pointier head and shorter tail."

They are members of the order Crocodilia, which also includes caimans, gharials and alligators. There are 13 species of crocodiles, so there are many different sizes of crocodile. The smallest crocodile is the dwarf crocodile. It grows to about 5.6 feet (1.7 meters) in length and weighs 13 to 15 pounds (6 to 7 kilograms). The largest crocodile is the saltwater crocodile. The largest one ever found was 20.24 feet (6.17 m) long. They can weigh up to 2,000 pounds (907 kg).

"text": "David Kirshner, Crocodile biologist, zoological interpreter Updated Jun 11, 2017 · Author has 895 answers and 546.4k answer views When caimans close their mouth, only the teeth in the upper jaw are visible because caimans have an overbite, like us. The upper jaw consequently has quite a smooth jawline. When crocodiles close their mouth, the teeth from both the upper and lower jaws are visible because the teeth interweave. This gives their upper jaw a pretty ragged looking jawline. Caimans come in a wide variety of jaw shapes, from very broad (the broad-snouted caiman, for example) to the wedge shape most people associate with crocodiles (some subspecies of the spectacled caiman and even the smooth-fronted caiman). Not all species of crocodile live in salt water, but all species of crocodile do have salt glands on their tongue for getting rid of excess salt. Caimans do not have salt glands on their tongue so the surface of their tongue does not have large visible pores and looks smooth. Both caimans and crocodiles have tiny, pimple-like dots all over their snout and head (except for the very top). These are tiny sense organs, called integumentary sense organs (or ISOs) for detecting movement in the water. Only crocodiles have these on their neck and body scales."

Caimans are found in a variety of habitats throughout Central and South America from marshes and swamps to mangrove rivers and lakes. As with other reptiles, caimans have scaly skin and live a fairly nocturnal existence. Caimans range in size from the dwarf caiman which measures just over a meter in length, to the black caiman which can to grow to be nearly 5 meters long. The black caiman is the largest caiman species in the world and is found in the slow-moving rivers and lakes that surround the Amazon basin. There are six different species of caiman found throughout the watery, jungle habitats of Central and Southern America. The average length for most of the other caiman species if about 2.5 meters long. The caiman is a carnivorous predators and, like the alligator and the crocodile, the caiman has a diet that consists of a great deal of fish. The caiman also hunts insects, birds and small mammals and reptiles."

Maybe you graze when you're bored, or reach your hand into the office candy jar each time you pass by. Perhaps when you're feeling sluggish in the afternoon, you head to the vending machine for a pick-me-up. All of these are opportunities to eat for reasons other than hunger. No matter why food calls your name, one thing rings true: We have all eaten something when we weren't truly hungry. While that's OK from time to time, too much eating without thinking can really hurt your weight management goals. And depending on what you eat, hurt your health, too.

The Truth: Expired cake mixes can be fatal for those who have allergies to mold or penicillin, but the dangers of expired cake mix have been greatly exaggerated in these warnings. Warning about expired cake mixes have been in circulation for more than a decade. Most often, a chain email urges people to rush home and throw out every box of cake mix that has passed its expiration date because it could be toxic, and even deadly. Then the email cites an example of a young man or boy who died or nearly died after eating moldy, expired pancake mix. A version of the cake mix warning making the rounds in early 2015 told the story of a high school student whose mother made him pancakes before dropping him off at school. A short time later he allegedly had trouble breathing and nearly died as paramedics rushed him to the hospital. Due to lack of details — like the name of the high school or student — we couldn’t verify the details in that story. Truthor Fiction.com investigated another account of expired pancake mix nearly leading to the death of a 14-year-old boy that appeared in an April 2006 “Dear Abby” column."

"text": "How To Make Frostings And Icings By Allrecipes Editors Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest Stumble Upon It's easy to make delicious homemade frosting for cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. Or do we mean icing? The words frosting and icing are often used interchangeably. And that's fine. Certainly you can call 'em as you see 'em, but we think there's a difference with an actual distinction. Frosting is thick and fluffy with a butter or cream base, and you spread on with a knife or spatula or pipe it through a pastry bag. Frosting is sturdy enough to hold up decorations on cakes and cupcakes. Icing is more delicate, thinner than frosting, glossy, with a sugar base. It's the sugary topping on pastries, coffee cakes, and such. It's thin enough to drizzle on; although icing is actually thicker than a glaze, which has staked out its own territory."

"text": "dessert favorites fun for kids recipesquick & easy {baked} cake mix donuts recipe Donuts! Last year for Christmas I got a Mini Donut Maker <—affiliate link, and we’ve been a little donut crazy ever since. It’s so easy to use, and it’s nice to be able to make that are baked instead of fried. And since we discovered you can make donuts in any flavor you want in under 15 minutes using a cake mix, we were hooked. My 13 year old regularly mixes up the simple recipe and bakes up a couple dozen mini donuts all by himself so he can share them with his friends. Kids go crazy for these, and since they are so much faster to make than cupcakes, they’re a great choice for birthdays, etc. Since this easy donut recipe starts with a cake mix, you can make them in any flavor you can find a cake mix in: chocolate, strawberry, lemon, white, etc.! We found a spice cake mix last week and the donuts made from it were absolutely delicious, especially when topped with a simple glaze. Like I mentioned, it only takes about 15 minutes to make a full batch of mini donuts (24-30) using the Mini Donut Maker. I’m sure you could also use this easy recipe in a donut pan to bake full size donuts in the over, however, I haven’t tried it yet myself."

"text": "Poring over vintage cookbooks and food advertisements is equal parts intriguing and repulsive: People willingly ate things like “Shrimp Aspic Mold” and “Chicken Mousse”? Unlike the menus on contemporary food blogs and in best-selling recipe books, mid-century cooking seems guaranteed to make you gag, thanks to its mismatched flavors, industrial ingredients, and gelatin overload. Top: Shrimpy, gelatinous, mid-century bliss. Above: Decked out in mid-century modern garb, Clark poses with a sour cream recipe book. Often the strangeness of this era’s food stemmed from innovations being tested on our nation’s taste buds. World War II spurred an industrial food boom, introducing many technologies to keep foods fresh longer, from freezing to dehydrating. As Laura Shapiro explains in her book Something From the Oven: Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America, at the war’s end, packaged food companies realized they had to convince domestic consumers to purchase their wartime products or risk shuttering their businesses. As a result, during the late 1940s and early ’50s, a new crop of ideas about eating were thrust upon the public as the industry tried to “persuade millions of Americans to develop a lasting taste for meals that were a lot like field rations,” writes Shapiro. Hence the debut of frozen airline foods and canned meat products like Spam. Today, foodies typically look back on this era with an upturned nose, preferring to mock its foods rather than eat them."

The Legislature authorized a $420 fee for active lawyers. The fee includes $30 for legal aid nonprofits, $40 for the Client Security Fund, $25 for disciplinary activities and $10 for the Lawyer Assistance Program (LAP). The remainder goes to the general fund. Inactive members will owe $145, an amount that includes $75 for the general fund, $30 for legal aid, $10 for the Client Security Fund, $25 for discipline and $5 for LAP. Annual membership fees are waived for inactive lawyers who are 70 years of age on Feb. 1. Those lawyers whose last names start with N-to-Z (Group 3) also have a Feb. 3 due date to report completion of their 25 hours of Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE). Failure to pay fees by the deadline will trigger a $100 late payment penalty for active lawyers and a $30 penalty for inactive attorneys. Failure to report MCLE compliance will trigger a $75 penalty. Lawyers also will have the opportunity to donate to the Justice Gap Fund (recommended donation $100), the California Bar Foundation ($50 recommended donation), the Conference of California Bar Associations (CCBA — $35 recommended donation) and the California Supreme Court Historical Society (CSCHS — a $25 donation is recommended)."

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

ANSWER 1Yes, if the worker determines that the casino’s income disbursements are from interest on legal shares to the individual client in trust or restricted land. If so, the first $2,000 income per calendar year is excluded, and any funds which exceed the $2,000 in a calendar year are counted as unearned income in the month in which it is received according to Sections 63-229.6 and 63-223.8 . QUESTION 2Should we be treating the total casino disbursements as unearned income? ANSWER 2If casino disbursements are a direct result of interest paid to the individual from a trust or interest in restricted land, pursuant to Section 63-226.9, the income is treated as unearned income after the first $2,000 is excluded per calendar year. This exclusion applies to each individual household member who holds an interest or legal shares. QUESTION 3How can the worker determine how income should be treated under Public Law? ANSWER 3MPP 63-506 (b) (8) is composed of three Public Laws (P. L.): P. L. 93-134, P. L. 97-458, and P.

A separate issue that also arises in litigation is whether either party may deduct the legal expenses incurred in the suit. The nature of the underlying claim is critical in determining the proper tax treatment of these payment and expenses. Portions of a payment may face different treatment depending on what each represents (e.g., replacement for lost wages, reimbursement of medical expenses, punitive damages, fines or penalties, or attorneys’ fees). This report addresses the tax consequences of these payments and expenses to the payment recipient and the payor. It ends with a summary of the bills that have been introduced th in the 109 Congress that would affect these consequences: H.

"text": "\"Home Unlawful Detainer Process Unlawful Detainer Process The Eviction Process ( California ) (Unlawful Detainer Lawsuit)Overview of the eviction process If the tenant doesn't voluntarily move out after the landlord has properly given the required notice to the tenant, the landlord can evict the tenant. In order to evict the tenant, the landlord must file an unlawful detainer lawsuit in superior court. In an eviction lawsuit, the landlord is called the \"\"plaintiff\"\" and the tenant is called the \"\"defendant. \"\" Recent laws designed to abate drug dealing and unlawful use, manufacture, or possession of weapons and ammunition, permit a city attorney or prosecutor in selected jurisdictions to file an unlawful detainer action against a tenant based on an arrest report (or other action or report by law enforcement or regulatory agencies) if the landlord fails to evict the tenant after 30 days notice from the city. The tenant must be notified of the nature of the action and possible defenses. An unlawful detainer lawsuit is a \"\"summary\"\" court procedure. This means that the court action moves forward very quickly, and that the time given the tenant to respond during the lawsuit is very short. For example, in most cases, the tenant has only five days to file a written response to the lawsuit after being served with a copy of the landlord's summons and complaint. Normally, a judge will hear and decide the case within 20 days after the tenant or the landlord files a request to set the case for trial. The court-administered eviction process assures the tenant of the right to a court hearing if the tenant believes that the landlord has no right to evict the tenant."

DISCUSSION The Supreme Court of Texas, Comm. on Interpretation of the Code of Professional Responsibility, in its opinion Op. 391, issued in 1978, states that an attorney may deposit non-refundable retainer fees into a general operating account because the attorney has \"\"earned\"\" the fee once it is received. As a result thereof, the propriety of using such non-refundable retainer agreements has been presumed. See B. Kazen, Family Law Texas Practice and Procedure ∋40.01 (3) (e) (1983); J. Compere, \"\"Professional Responsibility and Malpractice,\"\" State Bar of Texas Advanced Family Law Course J-34 (1982). However, the law on the issues of fees in general as to attorneys, and especially in relation to the matter of retainer fees, is unsettled and merits further investigation and discussion at this time. In discussing attorneys' fees in general, Ethical Consideration 2-17 states: The determination of a proper fee requires consideration of the interests of both client and lawyer. A lawyer should not charge more than a reasonable fee, for excessive costs of legal services would deter laymen from utilizing the legal system and protection of their rights . . . Ethical Consideration 2-18 further states: A determination of the reasonableness of a fee requires consideration of all relevant circumstances, including those stated in the Disciplinary Rules."

"text": "\"MOVE IN-MOVE OUT FEES IN CONDOSWritten on August 15, 2010 by Beth Grimm in Homeowner Information, Homeowner Rights, Tenants in HOAs-Landlord/Tenant Issues0 Comments - Leave a comment!A question as to the legality of “move in-move out” fees is commonly asked of me. These fees are different than a security deposit commonly required of a tenant in a landlord-tenant situation. But they are commonly confused. A “move in-move out” fee would be nonrefundable. A security deposit is held during the term of tenancy and at the end, is returned, or partial amounts are returned, if charges for cleaning, damages or the like are deducted. A landlord must show receipts for deductions when they exceed a specific amount. The statutes for these landlord-tenant laws start at Civil Code Section 1940 (which can be located at the California State Government website ). Condos and HOAs in California are subject to the following statute that is part of the “Davis Stirling Act”: Cal Civ Code 1366.1: “An association shall not impose or collect an assessment or fee that exceeds the amount necessary to defray the costs for which it is levied. ”Some attorneys believe that this statute precludes a “move in-move out fee” in a homeowners association unless the charge can be tied to a cost. Others conclude that if the provision is in the governing documents, it is legal."

For example, for Fiscal Year 2017 (October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017), see Cal Fresh Program, California Monthly Income Eligibility Standards, Allotments and Deductions, Attachment 1 to ACIN I-63-17. California’s standards correspond to the USDA annual updates of its eligibility standards for the national SNAP program, to reflect cost of living adjustments (COLA). As discussed in the sections about the definition of income and income limits, the net income of all households must be below the net income limit. [ MPP §§ 63-503.321 (a) (QR), 63-503.323 (a); 7 C. F. R. § 273.9 (a) .]. Be mindful that, while “elderly or disabled” households are exempt from the Cal Fresh gross-income test, all other households still must meet that threshold gross-income limit to qualify for benefits. [ MPP § 63-503.321 (a) (QR); 7 C. F. R. § 273.9 (a) . ] With that level setting done, let’s now move on to the types of deductions the household is allowed to claim against its gross income, in order to reduce its countable income below the net-income limits and thereby qualify for benefits. Simply put, Cal Fresh households can deduct certain expenses from their gross income to determine their net monthly income. [ MPP § 63-502.3; 7 C. F. R. § 273.9 (d) .] These include the following: Earned income deduction: 20% is deducted from gross earned income (income from work such as salary, wages, and tips). ["

"text": "Landlord Disclosures: What You Have to Tell Your Tenant – State Guide Kaycee Wegener January 25, 2017 Education 11 Comments401SHARESShare Tweet Share Share Pin Landlords and property managers are required to follow their federal, state and local laws about informing tenants of policies, facts, and rules about the property. Any information that is shared with a renter about the property or a renter’s rights are considered disclosures. Landlord disclosures can either be included in the lease or rental agreement, or some other form of writing, and are typically shared with the tenant prior to move in. Federal disclosures include informing a tenant of any lead-based paint hazards to tenants, under Title X, for any property that was built before 1978. Other disclosures are dictated by state and local laws. Some state requirements are as simple as informing your tenant who owns the property, while other states have more than 10 required disclosures that must be shared with a tenant before they move in. State laws will also dictate how the disclosure needs to be communicated with your renters. It can involve using a state produced notice that both the landlord and renter need to sign. Or it could include a simple line item in a lease agreement that your renter needs to initial. Because the requirements vary by state, it is important to have your lease agreement looked over by landlord-tenant attorney in your state to make sure you are including all required disclosures correctly."

In order to evict the tenant, the landlord must file an unlawful detaine r lawsuit in superior court. In an eviction lawsuit, the landlord is called the \"\"plaintiff\"\" and the tenant is called the \"\"defendant. \"\" Recent laws designed to abate drug dealing 295 and unlawful use, manufacture, or possession of weapons and ammunition, 296 permit a city attorney or prosecutor in selected jurisdictions 297 to file an unlawful detainer action against a tenant based on an arrest report (or other action or report by law enforcement or regulatory agencies) if the landlord fails to evict the tenant after 30 days notice from the city. The tenant must be notified of the nature of the action and possible defenses. An unlawful detainer lawsuit is a \"\"summary\"\" court procedure. This means that the court action moves forward very quickly, and that the time given the tenant to respond during the lawsuit is very short. For example, in most cases, the tenant has only five days to file a written response to the lawsuit after being served with a copy of the landlord's summons and complaint. 298 Normally, a judge will hear and decide the case within 20 days after the tenant or the landlord files a request to set the case for trial. 299The court-administered eviction process assures the tenant of the right to a court hearing if the tenant believes that the landlord has no right to evict the tenant."

"text": "\"The Many Faces of Workers' Compensation Subrogation By: Gary L. Wickert [1]More than any other area of personal injury subrogation, workers’ compensation subrogation is often fraught with traps and pitfalls for the unwary subrogation professional. This is primarily because most subrogation professionals assume that workers’ compensation subrogation is fairly similar from one state to the next. Every state, except one [2], allows for workers’ compensation subrogation. That is where the similarities end. In truth, there are very few areas in which the laws of each individual state vary more and are applied as differently, than in the area of workers’ compensation subrogation. While the basic parameters of workers’ compensation claims from state to state remain somewhat constant, the laws regarding subrogation and the application of those laws vary greatly from state to state. SUBROGATION RIGHTS GENERALLYThe starting place for all third party subrogation actions is the workers’ compensation subrogation statute of the individual state. Subrogation professionals must initially understand what sort of subrogation rights they have. Many states grant the carrier a right to independently, and apart from the worker, file a third party action and pursue it. [ 3] In other states, the injured worker is the true party in interest, and the workers’ compensation carrier is granted only a lien on the proceeds of any third party recovery. ["

"text": "Allowable Referrals and Commission Splits in California Real Estate Transactions In California, the Bureau of Real Estate and California law permit a licensed real estate brokerage to pay a referral fee for a real estate transaction to a person not licensed by the Bureau of Real Estate, only if the person who is to get such a fee was not soliciting on behalf of the brokerage. In short, this “finder’s fee” only applies if the unlicensed individual is solely limited to the introduction of a seller, buyer or both to a licensee. The caveat is that the “finder” is not involved in any negotiations as to the real estate transaction. In California, a “finder’s exception,” allowing an unlicensed person to be compensated for introducing parties to a real estate transaction, has been judicially approved since 1923. As explained by California’s Supreme Court in Tyrone v. Kelley (1973) 9 Cal.3d 1.“Numerous cases have held that one who simply finds and introduces two parties to a real estate transaction need not be licensed as a real estate broker. Such an intermediary or middleman is protected by the finder’s exception to the real estate licensing laws, an exception first established in Shaffer v. Beinhorn (1923) 190 Cal. 569, 573-574. In that case, this court held that a person who contracted to introduce a seller to a prospective purchaser did not act as a broker but as a finder. Many subsequent cases have recognized the exception. “The finder is a person whose employment is limited to bringing the parties together so that they may negotiate their own contract, and the distinction between the finder and the broker frequently turns upon whether the intermediary has been invested with authority or duties beyond merely bringing the parties together, usually the authority to participate in negotiations.” ("

However, there may be some other issues with your dog that causes this disease. Although it is not considered life threatening to dogs, it can cause some very serious conditions if not treated properly. Most people have an understanding of what rickets is, and just like people, the majority of cases will be from a deficiency of Vitamin D; but there may be a lot more to it than just this vitamin deficiency. What is Rickets? Rickets in dogs is very similar to the same condition in humans and is found primarily in puppies or young developing dogs. Rickets is caused by either a deficiency of Vitamin D, or inefficient reactions in the body to the vitamin. This could be caused by your pet’s parathyroid glands not functioning properly and releasing the proper amount of calcium and phosphorus into your dog’s bone. Vitamin D is a fat soluble nutrient that is stored in your dog’s liver but it can also be produced in your dog by sunlight and is often referred to as the sunshine vitamin."

The good news is that you can help improve your bone health with every meal and snack if you include a bone-friendly food. Generally, the best foods for healthy bones are fresh fruits and vegetables and other whole foods, organically grown. Foods that promote your body’s acid/alkaline balance are critical, and this is easy to achieve if you include fruits and veggies. That’s because these foods contain good amounts of nutrients that support that balance, including beta-carotene, fiber, magnesium (RDA, 420 mg), potassium (RDA, 3,500 mg), and vitamin D (RDA, 200 IU). There’s a lot of emphasis on calcium (RDA, 1,000 mg) for strong bones, but other nutrients are important as well. After all, calcium does not work alone! We’ve already mentioned potassium and magnesium, and we also want to add vitamin K (Adequate Intake, 80 mcg), omega-3 fatty acids (no RDA), and even vitamin B12 (RDA, 2.4 mcg). You will find all of these bone-building nutrients among our ten foods for super bones!Three other quick recommendations to promote bone health: Engage in regular weight-bearing exercise Watch your salt (sodium) intake.

Minerals play a key role in the maintenance of osmotic pressure, and thus regulate the exchange of water and solutes within the animal body. Minerals serve as structural constituents of soft tissues. Minerals are essential for the transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contraction. Minerals play a vital role in the acid-base equilibrium of the body, and thus regulate the p H of the blood and other body fluids. Minerals serve as essential components of many enzymes, vitamins, hormones, and respiratory pigments, or as cofactors in metabolism, catalysts and enzyme activators.6.3 Macroelements6.3.1 Calcium Biological function: The principal biological functions of calcium may be summarised as follows;Calcium is an essential component of bone, cartilage and the crustacean exoskeleton.

Your body needs phosphorus for many functions, such as filtering waste and repairing tissue and cells. Most people get the amount of phosphorus that they need through their daily diets. In fact, it’s more common to have too much phosphorus in your body than too little. Kidney disease or eating too much phosphorus and not enough calcium can lead to an excess of phosphorous. However, certain health conditions (such as diabetes and alcoholism) or medications (such as some antacids) can cause phosphorus levels in your body to drop too low.

Although a lack of calcium won’t cause immediate problems, a deficiency can lead to bone deformities, pain and even fractures over time. Calcium-phosphorus balance is something that's often discussed in both human and canine nutrition. There should always be more calcium than phosphorus. Recommended rations for dogs range from 1-to-1 to 2-to-1 calcium to phosphorus. If calcium and phosphorus are not properly balanced in the diet, the body pulls calcium from the dog's bones to make up for that deficiency, leaving them weakened. When to add calcium – and when not to You must add this essential mineral to all homemade cooked diets and to raw diets that do not include raw meaty bones. If you feed a combination of fresh and commercial foods, and more than about one quarter of your dog’s diet is fresh foods, it’s best to add calcium to balance out the phosphorus in the added foods."

Apart from that phosphorous is also useful in maintaining normal functioning of the nerves and the contraction of the muscles. A huge chunk of the phosphorus present in our body is in the form of bones. If there is any extra phosphate in the blood, it is usually excreted by the kidney. However, if the kidneys are not functioning properly, phosphorus may be excreted in excessive quantities. If in the urine, there is a large amount of phosphorus, kidney failure is usually the cause. The calcium and phosphate levels are inversely proportional to each other."

Nearly all the phosphorus in your body is in the form of phosphate, and it has a number of crucial functions in human health, some of which may come as a surprise. Because it's abundant in the diet, deficiency is rare outside of cases of inherited disorders and severe starvation. Video of the Day4-Ingredient Banana Pancakes Phosphorus in Food Phosphorus is a mineral essential to human health. For adults, the recommended dietary allowance of phosphorus is 700 milligrams per day, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. You can easily get this through your diet since most foods contain at least some phosphorus. Rich sources of phosphorus include salmon, yogurt, milk, halibut, turkey, chicken, beef, lentils and almonds. Formation of Bones and Teeth Calcium is most commonly known for its role in bone health. However, your body needs both calcium and phosphate to build and keep your bones strong. The primary function of phosphate is in the formation of your bones and teeth."

Essential minerals are inorganic chemicals that your body needs to function properly. Some of them help your cells perform chemical reactions, while others build up your bones or blood. Some minerals work together to make your muscles function properly or to transport oxygen throughout your blood stream, so an adequate mineral intake helps to keep your whole body running efficiently. Calcium Your bones are made of a crystal called hydroxyapatite, which is composed of calcium and phosphate. Calcium is such an essential component of your blood and soft tissue that if you don't have enough of it circulating in your blood, your body takes it out of your bones and puts it into your blood stream, weakening your bones. The Institute of Medicine recommends getting 800 to 1,000 milligrams of calcium per day to supply your body with all the calcium it needs. Iron Iron promotes proper growth, metabolism, DNA synthesis, immunity and healing. It is an ingredient in the proteins hemoglobin and myoglobin, which carry oxygen throughout your blood and muscles. Your body absorbs heme iron, found in animal-based sources such as meat, more easily than non-heme iron, which comes from plant sources, such as spinach or lima beans."

Phosphorus appears to have been discovered in 1669 by Hennig Brand, a German merchant whose hobby was alchemy. Brand allowed 50 buckets of urine to stand until they putrified and “bred worms.” He then boiled the urine down to a paste and heated it with sand, thereby distilling elemental phosphorus from the mixture. Brand reported his discovery in a letter to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and, thereafter, demonstrations of this element and its ability to glow in the dark, or “phosphoresce,” excited public interest. Phosphorus, however, remained a chemical curiosity until about a century later when it proved to be a component of bones. Digestion of bones with nitric or sulfuric acid formed phosphoric acid, from which phosphorus could be distilled by heating with charcoal. In the late 1800s James Burgess Readman of Edinburgh developed an electric furnace method for producing the element from phosphate rock, which is essentially the method employed today.urine; alchemy Learn about the history of urine in alchemy and chemical experiments."

Phosphorus is part of every human cell, most fluid balances throughout the body, core genetic processes (through its role as a component of RNA and DNA), and an extensive list of other processes central to our health. Fortunately, very few nutrients are as widely available throughout our WHFoods as phosphorus. Not only do 75 of our foods rank as excellent, very good, or good sources of this mineral, but you can also find ranked sources of phosphorus in every single one of our food groups. In fact, it would be difficult to design a WHFoods-based diet that would meet your calorie needs yet somehow fail to provide you with the amount of phosphorus that you need. In recent years, a good bit of controversy has unfolded about health risks involved with excessive dietary intake of phosphorus through increased consumption of soft drinks containing phosphoric acid and processed foods containing phosphate stabilizers, emulsifiers, anticaking agents, and acidity regulators. In our Summary of Food Sources and Risk of Dietary Toxicity sections, we will provide you with detailed information about this controversy. However, it is important to know that a meal plan based on whole natural foods rather than processed foods is likely to avoid excessive phosphorus risks.

Without their participation, horses could not metabolize fats. proteins, or carbohydrates; their muscles and nerves would not function normally, and their bones could not support their own weight. Minerals help the blood transport oxygen through the body, maintain the body’s acid/base and fluid balances, and are necessary components of virtually every enzyme the horse needs for everyday metabolism. They are integral parts of some vitamins, hormones, and amino acids. Yet they make up only about 4% of the horse’s total body weight (as compared to 30-35% fats, carbohydrates, and proteins, and about 60% water). In the case of minerals, a little bit means a lot."

An injection of vitamin K is recommended to protect all newborns from life-threatening bleeding within the skull. ( More information)The adequate intake ( AI) level for vitamin K is set at 90 μg/day for women and 120 μg/day for men. ( More information)Vitamin K deficiency may impair the activity of VKDPs and increase the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Yet, observational studies have failed to isolate vitamin K intakes from overall healthful diets, thus warranting cautious interpretation of positive associations between vitamin K intakes and markers of bone health. Overall, intervention trials have been inconclusive regarding the role of supplemental vitamin K in further reducing bone loss in otherwise calcium - and vitamin D -replete adults. ("

Foster & Smith Print Article Email Article According to Stedmans Medical Dictionary, a vitamin is 'one of a group of organic substances, present in minute amounts in natural foodstuffs, that are essential to normal metabolism.' As defined, vitamins are present in very small quantities in most foods and it is this fact that leads to the manufacture of vitamin supplements for pets and people. Not only are vitamins naturally present in only small amounts, they are also essential for life. The importance of vitamins has been known for only a short time, however, their actual effects were demonstrated long ago. Around 400 B. C., the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, first advocated using liver to cure night blindness. We now know that the essential component of the liver was vitamin A and it was the lack of Vitamin A that caused the night blindness. Beriberi, the once feared paralytic disease of humans, was found to be curable by feeding unpolished rice. It is now known that the unpolished rice was rich in the Vitamin B1 - thiamine. Low thiamine levels were the real cause of beriberi and a simple diet change could cure the paralysis ."

They appear in fat and oily parts of food. They are digested only in bile because they are insoluble in water. The following sections provide detailed descriptions of each of these vitamins. Vitamin ARequirements It is difficult to determine the required amount of vitamin A. It is produced from two other substances that have to be converted in the body to vitamin A. In animal foods, it is present in the form of retinol; in plant food it is present as beta-carotene, which is less efficient than retinol at producing vitamin A. This is why the recommended amounts of vitamin A are given in terms of retinol equivalents, RE. The recommended amount of vitamin A is 1000 micrograms RE per day for men and 800 micrograms for women. Best sources Vegetables and fruits are the richest vitamin A carriers. Most foods that contain vitamin A are brightly coloured (although not all brightly coloured food contains a lot of vitamin A). Vitamin A-rich vegetables are carrots, sweet potatoes, winter squash, spinach, and cantaloupe. Milk, cheese, butter and eggs also contain vitamin A. Functions Vitamin A is important for the maintenance of cornea and epithelial cells and thus, of vision."

"text": "\"General Information Symptoms and Causes Prevention and Treatment References Nutritional deficiencies Prevention and Treatmentdiagnosis and treatment If a doctor believes that an individual is suffering from a lack of nutrition, the healthcare provider will weigh the individual and make a dietary assessment, which includes a diet history or food frequency analysis. Blood tests to look for anemia, thyroid disorders, and to measure levels of specific nutrients (such as vitamins and minerals) are usually used. Diagnosis using contrast X-rays of the gastrointestinal tract may be carried out to test for underlying digestive disorders. If the deficiency is severe, the individual will be admitted to a hospital where nutrients will be administered using a tube passed through the nose into the stomach (G-tube) or intravenously (IV) directly into the bloodstream. Changing the diet will resolve the problem if poor eating habits are the cause. Each individual will have specific nutrient (vitamin and mineral) deficiencies, so it is important for a doctor to determine which nutrient deficiency is present. A sample of blood will generally be taken in a clinic or hospital and analyzed for vitamin and mineral status. In some cases, such as Crohn's disease (a chronic, episodic, inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by affecting the entire wall of the involved bowel or intestines) or gastric bypass, long-term vitamin and mineral supplementation will be required. These conditions cause changes in the absorption of nutrients and can cause long-term vitamin and mineral deficiencies. If medications are causing nutrient depletion, supplementation with multivitamin therapy or the depleted nutrient, such as coenzyme Q10 (with certain cholesterol-lowering medications called HMG-Co A reductase inhibitors), is recommended by healthcare providers."

Hemostasis is a word for the process where a blood clot forms. Blood clots form to stop excess blood leaking from your body after you break or cut the surface of your skin. If a blood vessel (a capillary, vein or artery) is damaged (internally or by external injury like a cut) bleeding occurs until a clot forms. Once the site of injury has healed, the blood clot will naturally dissolve. If no blood clot forms it is called a hemorrhage. A hemorrhage is uncontrolled bleeding and can be highly dangerous. Hemophiliacs are people with a blood disorder where there blood does not clot."

"text": "\"Vitamin K: The Missing Nutrient to Blame for Heart Attacks and Osteoporosis (Nope - NOT Calcium or Vitamin D)4.5KMarch 26, 2011 • 866,193 views Edition: English Previous Next Story at-a-glance According to recent findings, the benefits of vitamin D, in terms of bone strength and cardiovascular health, are greatly enhanced when combined with vitamin K. Vitamin D improves your bone health by helping you absorb calcium. However, it is vitamin K that directs calcium to your skeleton, to prevent it from being deposited in the wrong areas. Vitamin K2 activates a protein hormone called osteocalcin, produced by osteoblasts, which is needed to bind calcium into the matrix of your bone. Osteocalcin also appears to help prevent calcium from depositing into your arteries. Evidence shows that vitamin D is dependent on vitamin K, and that vitamin D toxicity is actually caused by vitamin K2 deficiency. Also, taking calcium in isolation without complimentary nutrients like magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K can have adverse effects, including the buildup of plaque in coronary arteries and heart attacks. Calcium intake should be balanced out with vitamins D and K, and other minerals crucial to your bone health. This article lists ways to optimize your vitamin D, K, and other nutrient levels, as well as natural methods that will keep your heart, blood vessels, organs, and bones healthy. By Dr. Mercola The past decade has brought an explosion of research revealing the many beneficial roles vitamin D plays in keeping you healthy. But there's a new kid on the block that could end up being \"\"the next vitamin D,\"\" and we are finding that some of vitamin D's benefits are greatly enhanced when combined with this other vitamin."

"text": "<< Back to June 2007Vitamin K & Warfarin June 2007By Laurie Barclay, MDBy preventing the blood clots that trigger heart attack and stroke, the anticoagulant drug warfarin (Coumadin®) saves countless lives. Doctors must regularly monitor patients’ blood levels in order to prescribe a high enough dose of warfarin to prevent deadly blood clots, but not an excessive dose that could lead to fatal hemorrhage. Since many factors—including diet, genetic differences, and medication use—influence how much warfarin an individual needs, achieving and maintaining optimal anticoagulation therapy is difficult at best. Traditionally, patients taking warfarin have been advised to avoid vitamin K to prevent excess clotting. Surprisingly, scientists have now discovered that regular consumption of a modest amount of vitamin K actually helps stabilize the anticoagulant effects of warfarin. Vitamin K intake may thus help individuals using warfarin achieve the therapeutic benefits of the drug—without danger of clots or bleeding. Vitamin K is attracting attention for its benefits of protecting cardiovascular health and promoting strong bones, making its inclusion in a warfarin user’s daily program that much more important. Here, we examine why those using blood-thinning medications should speak with their physician on how to best incorporate low-dose vitamin K as part of their prevention regimen. Vitamin K is one of the key factors that allow our blood to clot. It is commonly found in green leafy vegetables."

Recall that fats, carbohydrates and proteins are macronutrients, meaning that we require them in relatively large quantities. We consume the macronutrients in gram amounts. For example, we might have 200 grams of carbohydrate, 100 grams of protein and 50 grams of fat, yet only 18 mg of iron and 400 micrograms of folate. Vitamins are carbon-containing molecules and are classified as either water-soluble or fat-soluble. They can be changed and inactivated by heat, oxygen, light and chemical processes. The amount of vitamins in a food depends on the growing conditions, processing, storage and cooking methods. Minerals do not contain carbon, and are not destroyed by heat or light. Unlike other nutrients, minerals are in their simplest chemical form."

Create a free account Maybe later Sort Fat Soluble Vitamins - require bile for their digestion and absorption - upon absorption, fat soluble vitamins travel through the lymphatic system within chylomicrons before entering the bloodstream, where many of them require protein carriers for transport - excesses stored in liver and adipose tissue - body maintains blood concentrations by retrieving these vitamins from storage as needed so people can eat less their their daily need for days, weeks, or even months or years without ill effects - risk of toxicity is greater than it is for water soluble vitamins (11.1) Vitamin A and Beta Carotene - Vitamin A was the first fat soluble vitamin to be recognized - beta carotene is its precursor - 3 different forms of vitamin a in body: retinol, retinal, retinoic acid (retonoids) - these compounds are found in foods from animals - food from plants provide carotenoids, some of which can be converted to vitamin A - most studied of carotenoids with vitamin a activity is beta carotene, which can be split to form retinol in intestine and liver - cells can convert retinol and retinal to other active forms of vitamin a - conversion of retinol to retinal is reversible but the further conversion of retinal to retinoic acid is irreversible - irreversibility is significant because each form of vitamin a performs a specific function that others can't - after absorption of vitamin a via the lympth system, vitamin a eventually arrives at the liver, where it's stored - there, a special transport protein, retinol-binding protein (RBP) picks up vitamin a from the liver and carries it in the blood ROLES IN BODY - major roles: promoting vision, participating in protein synthesis and cell differentiation, supporting reproduction and regulating growth - each form of vitamin a performs specific tasks Vitamin A in Vision - vitamin a has 2 role in eyes: helps maintain a crystal clear outer window, the cornea, and it participates in the conversion of light energy into nerve impulses at the retina - some of the photosensitive cells of the retina contain pigment molecules called rhodopsin - each rhodopsin molecule is composed of a protein called opsin bonded to a molecule of retina, which plays a central role in vision - when light passes through the cornea of the eye and strikes the retina, rhodopsin responds and as it does, opsin is released and retinal shifts from a cis to trans configuration - much of the retinal is then converted back to its active cis form and combined with the opsin protein to regenerate rhodopsin - some retinal, however, may be oxidized to retinoic acid, a biochemical dead end for the visual process, a biochemical dead end for the visual process - visual activity leads to repeated small losses of retinal, necessitating its constant replenishment either directly from foods or indirectly form retinol stores Vitamin A in Protein Synthesis and Cell Differentiation - only one-thousandth of the body's vitamin a is in the retina while much more is in the cells lining the body's surfaces - there the vitamin participates in protein synthesis and cell differentiation, a process by which each type of cell develops to perform a specific function - all body surfaces (inside and out) are covered by layers of cells called epithelial cells - epithelial tissue: on outside of body is skin and vitamin a and beta-carotene help to protect against skin damage from sunlight - epithelial tissues that line inside of body are mucous membranes: linings of mouth, stomach, intestines, lungs and passages leading to them, linings of urinary bladder and urethra, linings of uterus and vagina, and linings of eyelids and sinus passageways - vitamin a promotes differentiation of epithelial cells and goblet cells, one celled glands that synthesize and secrete mucus -- mucus coats and protects the epithelial cells from invasive microorganisms and other potentially damaging substances like gastric juices Vitamin A in Reproduction and Growth - vitamin a supports reproduction and regulates growth - in men, retinol participates in sperm development and in women, it supports normal fetal development during pregnancy - children lacking vitamin a fail to grow but if given supplements, they gain weight and grow taller - growth of bones illustrates that growth is a complex phenomenon of remodeling - vitamin a participates in dismantling Beta-Carotene as Precursor and Antioxidant - beta carotene's 2 roles in body: serves as vitamin a precursor and acts as an antioxidant capable of protecting body against disease VITAMIN A DEFICIENCY - 90% of vitamin a stores are in liver - also depends on person's protein status bc retinol binding protein serves as the vitamin's transport carrier inside the body - symptoms won't appear until stores are depleted (1 or 2 years for healthy adult) - is a major problem in developing countries, responsible for a million or more unnecessary deaths and cases of blindness each year Infectious Diseases - vitamin a supports immune function and inhibits replication of measles virus - measles is problematic in developing countries, killing 430 children a day - pneumonia and severe diarrhea - WHO and UNICEF made it a goal to improve child health and survival by controlling vitamin a deficiency- recommends 2 doses of vitamin a supplements, given 24 hours apart for all children with measles - supplements also protect against blindness and complications of other life-threatening infections like malaria, lung diseases, and HIVNight Blindness - one of first detectable signs of vitamin a deficiency and permits early diagnosis - person loses ability to recover promptly from temp blinding that follows a flash of bright light at night or to see after dark- happens to people after sun goes down Blindness (Xerophthalmia) - total blindness - night blindness caused by lack of vitamin a in back of eye (Retina) while total blindness caused by lack of vitamin a in front of eye (cornea) - blindness due to vitamin a deficiency is known as xerophthalmia, develops in stages - xerosis than keratomalacia Keratinization - deficiency causes body's outer surface, the epithelial cells to change shape and begin to secrete keratin (hard , inflexible protein of hair and nails) - skin becomes dry, rough, and scaly as lumps of keratin accumulate (keratinization)VITAMIN A TOXICITY - symptoms of toxicity begin to develop when all the binding proteins are loaded and vitamin a is free to damage cells - toxicity is a real possibility when concentrated amounts of preformed vitamin a in foods derived from animals, fortified foods, or supplements are consumed - children most vulnerable to toxicity bc they need less vitamin a and are sensitive to overdoses - RDA is 700 micrograms for women and 900 for men - beta-carotene is not converted efficiently enough in body to cause vitamin a toxicity; instead, it's stored in the fat just under the skin - overconsumption may turn skin yellow but it's not harmful - adverse effects of betacarotene supplements most evident in people who drink alcohol and smoke Bone Defects - excessive intakes over years may weaken bones and contribute to fractures and osteoporosis - suppresses bone building activity, stimulates bone dismantling activity, and interferes with vitamin d's ability to maintain normal blood calcium Birth Defects - excessive vitamin a during pregnancy leads to abnormal cell death in spinal cord, which increases the risk of birth defects such as spina bifida and cleft palate - in those cases, vitamin a is considered a teratogen - high intakes (4x RDA of woman) before 7th week of pregnancy appear to be most damaging Not for Acne - large doses have no beneficial effect on acne - accutane - Retin-AVITAMIN A RECOMMENDATIONS - bc body can derive vitamin a from both retinoids and carotenoids, its content in foods and its recommendations are expressed as retinol activity equivalents (RAE) - one microgram = 1 RAE as does 12 micrograms of beta carotene - beta-carotene's absorption and conversion are significantly less efficient than those of the retinoids VITAMIN A IN FOODS - richest sources from animals - bc it is fat soluble, it is lost when milk is skimmed - dairy products usually fortified - plants contain no retinoids but many veggies and fruits contain vitamin a precursors - carotenoids - beta-carotene in dark green, leafy veggies is abundant but masked by large amounts of chlorophyll The Colors of Vitamin A Foods - dark leafy greens and rich yellow or deep orange veggies and fruits - bright color not always a sign of vitamin a activity - beets and corn get their colors form red and yellow xanthophylls, which have no vitamin a activity - white plant foods and fast food have no vitamin a Vitamin A - Rich Liver - liver is a rich source bc vitamin a is stored in the livers of animals - don't eat to much of it bc it can cause toxicity Golden RIce - in developing countries, they barely have fruits and veggies so they mainly eat rice which has no beta carotene or vitamin a but scientists have genetically modified rice to be a significant source of beta-carotene - golden rice - solution to world's malnutrition (11.2) Vitamin D - body can synthesize it with the help of sunlight, from a precursor that the body makes from cholesterol so vitamin D is not an essential nutrient (don't need from food) - also known as calciferol, it comes in 2 forms - vitamin D2 (from plant foods in diet), Vitamin D3 (from animal foods in diet and from synthesis in skin) - both must be activated before they can fully function - figure 11-8 (p.352) - to activate vitamin d, 2 hydroxylation reactions must occur - liver adds OH group then kidneys add another OH group to produce active vitamin - diseases affecting liver or kidney can interfere with activatio"

It potentially results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair. The mechanism of coagulation involves activation, adhesion, and aggregation of platelets along with deposition and maturation of fibrin. Disorders of coagulation are disease states which can result in bleeding ( hemorrhage or bruising) or obstructive clotting ( thrombosis ). [ 1]Coagulation is highly conserved throughout biology; in all mammals, coagulation involves both a cellular (platelet) and a protein (coagulation factor) component. [ 2] The system in humans has been the most extensively researched and is the best understood. [ 3]Coagulation begins almost instantly after an injury to the blood vessel has damaged the endothelium lining the vessel.

"text": "Question I have a calcium deposit on my collarbone and I've had one previously on my wrist. Why do I get these things? Do I get to much calcium in my diet? Answer Calcium deposits can occur pretty much anywhere in the body, generally overlying a bony surface, such as, in your case, the wrist or your collarbone. Although a common assumption is that the calcium deposits much be related to getting too much calcium in your diet, this is actually not the case. In fact, you would definitely not want to limit the calcium in your diet, as this could predispose you to a lower bone density, setting you up for a risk of bone fractures later in life. On the other hand, calcium deposits most commonly form as a reaction to a trauma or to chronic irritation. A common occurrence, for example, is to have them develop at the site of an old sports injury. In the case of a collarbone, they commonly develop after a collarbone fracture (I am not sure if this is what happened in your case). Regardless, in most cases, these calcium deposits do not cause any trouble and they do not need to be treated."

Triangular fibrocartilage calcification is frequently found and isolated scapho-trapezio-trapezoid (STT) arthritis is specific for CPDD. Distal radio-ulnar (DRUJ), isolated midcarpal joint and piso-triquetral joint involvement also occur. 127 patients were reviewed. Seventy-eight had symptomatic STT joint arthritis, for which 36 underwent surgery. Twenty-two patients had a SLAC wrist deformity for which ten underwent surgery. Eight patients had isolated midcarpal arthritis for which three midcarpal arthrodeses, two four-bone arthrodeses and two carpal tunnel releases were performed. Nineteen patients had a generalized arthritis and seven of the patients underwent surgery: four-corner arthrodesis+scaphoidectomy (one case), carpal tunnel relaease (two cases) extensor synovectomy (two cases) and trigger finger release (two cases).

"text": "Calcific Tendonitis Calcific tendonitis refers to a build-up of calcium in the rotator cuff (calcific deposit). When calcium builds up in the tendon, it can cause a build up of pressure in the tendon, as well causing a chemical irritation. This leads to pain. The pain can be extremely intense. It is one of the worst pains in the shoulder (the other being Frozen Shoulder ). In addition to the chemical irritation and presssure, the calcific (calcium) deposit reduces the space between the rotator cuff and the acromion, as well as affecting the normal function of the rotator cuff. This can lead to subacromial impingement between the acromion and the calcium deposit in the rotator cuff when lifting the arm overhead. The cause of the calcium build-up in the rotator cuff is not known. It tends to be more common in people between the ages of 30-60 years of age. It does eventually disappear spontaneously, but this can take between 5 to 10 years to resolve."

DOCTORS: Click here for the Professional Version Gout is a disorder that results from deposits of uric acid crystals, which accumulate in the joints because of high blood levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia). The accumulations of crystals cause attacks of painful inflammation in and around joints. Accumulations of uric acid crystals can intermittently cause severe joint or tissue pain and inflammation. Doctors remove fluid from the joint and check it for uric acid crystals. Drugs are given to relieve inflammation and pain, prevent further attacks, and sometimes decrease blood levels of uric acid to decrease deposits of urate crystals in the joints. Gout is more common among men than women. Usually, gout develops during middle age in men and after menopause in women. Gout is rare in younger people but is often more severe in people who develop the disorder before age 30. Gout, caused by high blood levels of uric acid (hyperuricemia), often runs in families."

"text": "Bone Calcium Deposits: Potential Causes And Treatments Fitday Editor Nutrition Healthy Eating Bone calcium deposits occur when your body doesn't get enough calcium from your diet and begins to take calcium from your bones to make up for the deficit. While 98% of the calcium in your body is found in your bones and teeth, the remaining 2% is absorbed into the blood and pumped around the body, where it helps with digestion, cell division and circulation. If you don't get enough dietary calcium or enough exercise, bone calcium deposits can form in your tissues and organs; over time, bone calcium deposits can contribute to osteporosis, cancer, heart disease and other degenerative diseases. Calcium Deposits: What They are and How They're Caused Calcium deposits can form when a bone is damaged or placed under stress. The body sends extra calcium minerals to the damaged area to help repair it. These minerals travel to the stressed or damaged bone through your blood stream. If your body's signals aren't functioning correctly due to a calcium deficiency, then extra calcium may build up around the damaged area. Over time, this extra layer of calcium hardens into a deposit. The deposit may pinch tendons and nerves, causing pain. Risk Factors for Calicum Deposits Bone calcium deposits are most common in women above 40 years of age, the same group at the highest risk for osteoporosis."

Calcium is the most plentiful mineral in the human body. Almost all of it — 99% — is stored in the skeleton, where it serves to maintain healthy bones and teeth. But that's not all it does. Calcium is also essential for the normal functioning of muscles, blood vessels, and nerves. Tiny amounts are dissolved in the fluid inside and outside every cell in the body. Too much or too little calcium can be deadly to those cells, so the body carefully controls its blood levels. Occasionally, however, calcium buildup in soft tissues can cause medical problems or skew test results. For example, even if your blood calcium levels are normal, calcium deposits called calcifications may accumulate at the site of tissue damage."

To know more about this mineral-related disorder, along with its signs, causes and treatment options, read on... Tagged Under: Calcium Advertisement Calcium is an essential mineral that aids in the proper growth and development of bones and also regulates the functions of the muscles and nervous system. Regular intake of calcium in required amounts helps to prevent the onset of osteoporosis, regulates clotting of blood and muscle contractions and also reduces the possibility of kidney stones. Excessive calcium or calcinosis, which is the accumulation of crystals within the soft tissues of the body, can lead to many complications if not cured in time. Symptoms of Calcium Deposits Deposits occur when there are large quantities of calcium phosphate crystals bundled together in the body. The most common places in the body where excess calcium gets deposited are near the knees, elbows or shoulders and under the skin of the fingers. The symptoms, severity and location of the crystals also determine if the calcinosis is mild or severe. The symptoms can be classified under two main categories: metastatic and dystrophic. People suffering from metastatic calcinosis develop whitish crystals under the skin and near the joints, especially in the shoulder region. When the skin in this area ruptures, a chalky white liquid is secreted."

"text": "Calcific Tendonitis Calcific tendonitis, or calcification, refers to the build-up of calcium salts in a tendon, usually as a result of an injury, trauma or stress, which leads to inflammation. Although this condition often occurs in the tendons of the shoulder joints, it can affect any joint. The calcium deposits eventually end up inhibiting the normal, friction-free movement of the joint. How does calcific tendonitis develop? There are two different types of calcific tendonitis: degenerative calcification and reactive calcification. The wear-and-tear of aging is the primary cause of degenerative calcification. As we age, blood flow to the tendons decreases. This makes the tendons weaker, and over time, as we use the affected joint, the fibers of the tendons begin to fray and tear, just like a worn-out rope. Calcium deposits form in the damaged tendons as part of the healing process. Reactive calcification is quite different and is unrelated to degeneration."

It is caused by deposits of calcium phosphate crystals in the joints and has similar characteristics to gout. A CPPD attack can occur suddenly and cause intense pain, inflammation, and disability. CPPD is known by other names including pseudogout, an older term still used in many medical practices, and chondrocalcinosis, which specifically refers to the calcium deposits that develop in the joint spaces. Symptoms With CPPD, the progressive formation of calcium in the joints can trigger the occasional flare-up of inflammatory arthritis symptoms including pain, stiffness, swelling, fatigue, low-grade fever, and the restriction of movement. The risk of a CPPD attack tends to increase with age. According to statistics from the American College of Rheumatology, the development of calcium crystals occurs in almost three percent of adults in their 50s. That number increases to nearly 50 percent by the time a person reaches 90. Not everyone who develops CPPD crystal will experience symptoms.

Waiton, DO, Los Gatos, Calif. Small isolated calcium deposits are nonspecific and often secondary to local trauma. However, very large or widely disseminated extraskeletal calcium deposits consistent with “metastatic calcification” suggest a broad differential diagnosis that includes renal failure and calciphylaxis, a hypercalcemic state (such as milk-alkali syndrome, sarcoidosis, hyperparathyroidism, and hypervitaminosis D), or a hyperphosphatemic state (such as can be seen with tumoral calcinosis and cell lysis). A paraneoplastic syndrome, various rheumatologic conditions (including systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis, and lupus), and numerous inherited disorders are also possible (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Werner's syndrome, and pseudoxanthoma elasticum). I cannot determine from your question whether the calcium deposits are limited to the cervical spinal cord or not, but your patient's symptoms could go along with many of the aforementioned disorders in addition to primary cord involvement. The presence of positive Tinel and Phalen's signs suggests median nerve entrapment (carpal tunnel syndrome), which can be associated with systemic conditions, such as hypothyroidism and end-stage renal disease, but doesn't necessarily imply a unifying diagnosis.

The discovery of this ancient sufferer is testimony to the fact that kidney stones and oxalate toxicity have afflicted humans for a very long time. Oxalates (the salt form of oxalic acid) are extremely painful when deposited in the body. About eighty percent of kidney stones are caused by oxalates and they are by far the most common factor in kidney stone formation. There is also a large degree of genetic variability in the ability to detoxify the chemicals that produce oxalates. Perhaps twenty percent of the population has a genetic variance that increases their likelihood of producing oxalates, even when not consuming a high-oxalate diet. STONEDOxalates can form all throughout the kidney and the urinary tract, and can also form in the ureter as well as in the bladder. These star-shaped crystalline stones cause pain as the pressure in the urinary filtrate builds up, and perhaps also by tearing into the walls of the urinary tract itself. Some kidney stones acquire a stag horn shape, while some oxalate crystals resemble pieces of coral. The crystals do have a lot of calcium in them just as coral does."

In general, it occurs with equal frequency in men and women. Most often seen in older adults, pseudogout can also affect younger patients, especially thosewith diseases that put them at a greater risk of developing it, such as hemochromatosis, hypercalcemia, hypothyroidism, ochronosis, or Wilson's disease. Some people, according to an article for the American College of Rheumatology, experience attacks of pseudogout \"\"followingjoint surgery or other surgery.

"text": "Bone calcification results from calcium deposit build-up in the joints. It may be caused by arthritis, Conradi-Hunermann syndrome, or soft tissue trauma. Treatment usually focuses on alleviating the pain, inflammation, and swelling that are often associated with bone calcification. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, stretching, and physical therapy may be used to treat this condition. When pain interferes with daily life, needling or excision may be necessary. Arthritis is the most common cause of bone calcification. As calcium deposits settle into the joint space, calcium salts adhere to the synovial membranes around the joint. The build up of calcium salts on the synovial membranes results in inflammation, stiffness, pain, and swelling. Over time, there may be so much calcium in the joint that the bone ends become fused together. Conradi-Hunermann syndrome is among a group of skeletal dysplasias, or genetic skeletal disorders, in which calcium salt builds up at the ends of the long bones."

"text": "Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition (CPPD)Fast Facts The risk of CPPD greatly increases with age, but it can occur in young people, too. Proper diagnosis depends on detecting calcium pyrophosphate crystals in the fluid of an affected joint. CPPD may be hard to diagnose because the joint pain and other symptoms can mimic gout and other types of arthritis. Diagnosis is confirmed by using a microscope to see small calcium pyrophosphate crystals in joint fluid. Anti-inflammatory medications reduce pain and swelling and can prevent or help relieve symptoms of CPPD, but there is no way to get rid of the crystals. Joint problems caused by crystals of a calcium salt called pyrophosphate may be one of the most misunderstood forms of arthritis. Joint problems seen with these crystals often are mistaken for gout and other conditions. Proper diagnosis (detection) is important. Untreated calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) may lead to severe, painful attacks or chronic (long-term) pain and inflammation. Over time, joints may degenerate, or break down, resulting in long-term disability."

"text": "Calcium Pyrophosphate Deposition Disease (CPPD)What is CPPD (Pseudogout)? Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD) occurs when these crystals form deposits in the joint and surrounding tissues. The crystal deposits provoke inflammation in the joint, which can cause the joint cartilage to break down. The disease may take a few different arthritis-related forms: osteoarthritis, a chronic rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-like inflammatory arthritis, or an acutely painful inflammatory condition called pseudogout. The name pseudogout comes from the fact that it resembles another acutely painful condition called gout. The main difference is the type of crystals involved in the inflammation and damage. CPPD (Pseudogout) Causes In most cases, the cause of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal formation is unknown, although deposits increase as people get older. Almost half of people over 85 have the crystals, but many of them do not have symptoms. Because CPPD tends to run in families, genes may play a role. Other possible factors in its development include hemochromatosis, a condition when the body stores excess iron; low blood magnesium levels; and an overactive parathyroid or severely underactive thyroid."

CPT currently defines a critical illness or injury as an illness or injury that acutely impairs one or more vital organ systems such that there is a high probability of imminent or life threatening deterioration in the patient's condition. Critical care services are defined as a physician's direct delivery of medical care for a critically ill or critically injured patient. It involves decision making of high complexity to assess, manipulate, and support vital organ system failure and/or to prevent further life threatening deterioration of the patient's condition. Examples of vital organ system failure include, but are not limited to: central nervous system failure, circulatory failure, shock, renal, hepatic, metabolic, and/or respiratory failure. CMS adds that in order to qualify as critical care for Medicare patients, \"\"the failure to initiate these interventions on an urgent basis would likely result in sudden, clinically significant or life threatening deterioration in the patient's condition\"\".

"text": "0Calculating Physician Work RVUs By The Coding Coach / In Coding Coach, Neurosurgery Question: I am confused about how to count RVUs particularly for bilateral procedures such as the bilateral burr holes for subdural hematomas. Is the RVU assigned to the code 61154 for one side or for a bilateral procedure? So for example if the work RVU for 61154 is 37.94, and I did only one side would I have performed 37.94 RVUs of work? And similarly if I did a bilateral surgery would I have now done 75.88 RVUs of work? I’m not sure my hospital is capturing my RVUs accurately and I really want to understand this. Answer: You are very wise to learn how RVUs impact your compensation – I wish more physicians would. My colleague, Sarah Wiskerchen, recently wrote an article about RVU compensation that was published in the Journal of Medical Practice Management ( click here to access the article) that I think is mandatory reading for every surgeon. First, the RVUs you cite above are the CPT code total RVUs. Physician compensation plans are typically based on physician work RVUs, not total RVUs. The physician work RVUs for 61154 are 17.07 and that is for a unilateral procedure as described by the code."

"text": "\"Information on Payment of Out-of-Network Benefits Certain health care benefit plans administered or insured by affiliates of United Health Group Incorporated provide \"\"out-of-network\"\" medical and surgical benefits for members. With out-of-network benefits, members may be entitled to payment for covered expenses if they use doctors and other health care professionals outside of the United Healthcare network. The member or health care professional, depending on whether or not the member has assigned his or her claim, may send a claim for such out-of-network professional services to be paid by a United Health Group affiliate. The United Health Group affiliate will pay based on the terms of the member's health care benefit plan that in many cases provides for payment for amounts that are the lower of either:the out-of-network provider's actual charge billed to the member, or\"\"the reasonable and customary amount,\"\" \"\"the usual, customary, and reasonable amount,\"\" \"\"the prevailing rate,\"\" or other similar terms that base payment on what other healthcare professionals in a geographic area charge for their services. What Do These Terms Mean? The terms \"\"the reasonable and customary amount,\"\" \"\"the usual, customary, and reasonable amount,\"\" and \"\"the prevailing rate\"\" are among the standards that various health care benefit plans may use to pay out-of-network benefits. Such plans determine the amounts payable under these standards by reference to various available resources. These resources contain information on the charges or costs for professional services or supplies. The resource used for payment of professional services is based on what other health care professionals in the relevant geographic areas or regions charge for their services. These standards do not apply to plans where reimbursement is determined using Medicare rates."

"text": "\"Medical Uncategorized Prostate Volume Study & Brachytherapy: CPT Codes and Guideline June 14, 2017Rishu Shukla Prostate Volume Study A volume study is an ultrasound study of the prostate designed to help determine whether seed implantation is technically appropriate and is also used to plan the implant. It is a simple procedure which requires placing the ultrasound probe into the rectum and taking a series of pictures. The normal prostate size for an adult male is 15cc to 30cc (one half ounce to one ounce). Men whose prostate gland is larger than 30 ccare more likely to be diagnosed with either benign hyperplasia (enlargement) or prostate cancer than those whose prostate is in the normal range. Prostate cancer is the model cancer for brachytherapy. Permanent seed implants involve injecting approximately 100 radioactive seeds into the prostate gland. They give off their radiation at a low dose rate over several weeks or months, and then the seeds remain in the prostate gland permanently. Brachytherapy Brachytherapy involves placing a radioactive material directly inside or next to the tumor. Brachytherapy, also called internal radiation therapy, allows a physician to use a higher total dose of radiation to treat a smaller area and in a shorter time than is possible with external beam radiation treatment. High-dose rate brachytherapy lasts about 30 minutes."

"text": "\"Clarifying the Infusion and Injection Quandaryby Laurie M. Johnson, MS, RHIACoding infusions and injections has been a source of confusion and frustration since the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced C codes in 2006. However, in calendar year 2007, CMS made an about face and eliminated the C codes, reverting back to the published 2007 CPT codes. The only exception to this rule is code C8957, Nonchemo prolonged infusion pump. Coders must understand these guidelines in order to code these services correctly so that their organizations are reimbursed fully. This article outlines the basic application of these CPT/HCPCS codes from a hospital outpatient service and CMS perspective. ( Note: payers differ on code requirements and coverage for infusions and injections. ) Pre-2007, Coding Per Visit Prior to 2007, injections and infusions were coded and billed based on a per-visit determination, with subsequent hours considered a package service of the APC assignment. Although this might sound like an easy coding and billing concept, it was fraught with problems. CMS heard the cries for clarification from the healthcare industry and began to revise the process. In 2007 CMS changed the methodology, published in CMS Transmittal 1139CP, in anticipation of clarifying the coding and billing of these services."

Transthoracic echocardiograms (TTE) are the most common type of echo performed. During TTE a transducer is moved on the surface of a patient’s chest to obtain images that are captured for analysis. EKG monitoring is also performed to assist in evaluating the heart in different stages of cardiac cycle. Heart chamber size, contraction, wall motion, wall thickness and valve structure can all be evaluated using echocardiography. Doppler echocardiography is often used to detect acute complications following a myocardial infarction. Doppler color flow imaging evaluates the blood flow through the heart and displays flow data on 2-D echocardiographic image. Doppler wave form imaging provides directional information about flow, velocity and characteristics. Wave form is obtained when a transducer transmits a series of pulses to detect motion.

Although many individuals can easily supervise the CPT II test, a well-trained professional must assume the ultimate responsibility for its use and interpretation. Qualified users of this instrument should know the standards for psychological testing developed by the American Psychological Association, and should belong to professionals associations that endorse a set of standards for the ethical use of psychological needs or possess a license to practice psychology, medicine, social work, or an allied discipline. Individuals whose only exposure to testing is gained from this program and its manual will not, in general, be qualified users of the CPT II test. In clinical settings, the person responsible for interpretation should possess an advanced degree, such as a Ph. D, Ed. D., M. D., or M. A. in the social, medical or behavioural sciences. Instrument Like previous versions of the Conners’ CPT test, the CPT II Version 5.2 for Windows® employs the unique Conners’ paradigm that has been based on extensive research and theory.

"text": "Rachel Posted 6 Year (s) ago When billing for moderate sedation I have been getting denied for illogical quantity. When billing this in the units section do we only put in 1 unit? Super Coder Posted 6 Year (s) ago Learn the Moderate Sedation Ground Rules It’s easy to confuse the various levels of sedation your physician might provide, so start with the basics:• Anesthesiologists don’t provide moderate sedation. As the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)points out, “It is important to note that anesthesiologists provide anesthesia (0XXXX codes) services. The moderate sedation codes were developed for cases where nonanesthesiologist physicians sedate patients” (December 2005 ASA newsletter).• Your physician might provide moderate sedation under different circumstances. “ When an anesthesiologist is performing a nerve block/injection procedure, he or she is classified as the ‘surgeon,’” says Joanne Mehmert, CPC, CCCPM, ACS-PM, of Joanne Mehmert and Associates in Kansas City, Mo. Once your provider shifts from an anesthesia provider role to the provider (or surgeon) performing the service, you’re in the realm of moderate sedation.• You still need a qualified independent observer present in addition to the physician completing the service. The same physician cannot safely sedate the patient, monitor his or her condition, and perform the diagnostic or therapeutic service. Another qualified observer must be present during the procedure to monitor the patient and assist in sedation services.• Moderate sedation does not include minimal or deep sedation. “ CPT makes it clear that the moderate sedation codes are for sedation other than those described by the anesthesia codes,” says Maggie M. Mac, CPC, CEMC, CHC, CMM, ICCE, consulting manager for Pershing, Yoakley and Associates in Clearwater, Fla. “Moderate sedation does not include minimal sedation (anxiolysis), deep sedation, or monitored anesthesia care (MAC).”Choose Code Family Based on Involvement CPT divides moderate sedation codes into two families. “ Both sets of codes are then further broken down based on the age of the patient and incremental time,” Mac says.• If the same physician provides moderate sedation and performs the procedure, choose from 99143-+99145 (Moderate sedation services [other than those services described by codes 00100-01999] provided by the same physician performing the diagnostic or therapeutic service that the sedation supports, requiring the presence of an independent trained observer to assist in the monitoring of the patient’s level of consciousness and physiological status …)."

"text": "\"ASP. NET Web API - CORS Support in ASP. NET Web API 2By Brock Allen | December 2013Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specification (commonly considered part of HTML5) that lets Java Script overcome the same-origin policy security restriction imposed by browsers. The same-origin policy means that your Java Script can only make AJAX calls back to the same origin of the containing Web page (where “origin” is defined as the combination of host name, protocol and port number). For example, Java Script on a Web page from http://foo.com can’t make AJAX calls to http://bar.com (or to http://www.foo.com, https://foo.com or http://foo.com:999, for that matter). CORS relaxes this restriction by letting servers indicate which origins are allowed to call them. CORS is enforced by browsers but must be implemented on the server, and the most recent release of ASP. NET Web API 2 has full CORS support. With Web API 2, you can configure policy to allow Java Script clients from a different origin to access your APIs. CORS Basics To use the new CORS features in Web API, it’s helpful to understand the details of CORS itself, because the Web API implementation is true to the specification."

Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information. ( January 2017)A web service is a service offered by an electronic device to another electronic device, communicating with each other via the World Wide Web. In a web service, the Web technology such as HTTP —originally designed for human-to-machine communication—is utilized for machine-to-machine communication, more specifically for transferring machine-readable file formats such as XML and JSON. In practice, a web service typically provides an object-oriented web-based interface to a database server, utilized for example by another web server, or by a mobile app, that provides a user interface to the end user. Another common application offered to the end user may be a mashup, where a web server consumes several web services at different machines, and compiles the content into one user interface. The W3C defines a web service as: A web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically WSDL ). Other systems interact with the web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP -messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other web-related standards.—"

In our configuration in CME for campaigns, the origination DN is the VDN where we want the call enters once it will be answered, but before that, the call is never made due to this error.

The updates needed to make them run in the latest bits (Release Candidate) are listed in this new post. The code in this post is published on the MSDN Code Gallery. By default, a web page cannot make calls to services (APIs) on a domain other than the one where the page came from. This is a security measure against a group of cross-site forgery attacks in which browsing to a bad site could potentially use the browser cookies to get data from a good site which the user had previously logged on (think your bank). There are many situations, however, where getting data from different sites is a perfectly valid scenario, such as mash-up applications which need data from different sources. There are a few ways to overcome this limitation. JSONP (JSON with Padding) uses the fact that <script> tags don’t have the cross-domain restriction, and if the server is willing to send the data back differently (i.e., padding the JSON response by wrapping it inside a function call), then the client can create a named function, and add a new <script> tag to the page DOM and that function will be called with the result from the service."

One of the issues or questions that occurs in connection with these gifts is their place and intention. Do they continue today? If not, why not? Now there is a scriptural answer to these questions which is important. To understand that answer the subject must be treated in a certain context. That context is the historical situation of the New Testament church and the offices which were given in the church. Scripture consistently connects the gifts of the Spirit with the offices in the church. Moreover, the special or exceptional gifts of the Spirit are connected with the temporary offices of Apostle and New Testament prophet. I. The office of apostle In treating this subject there is an important distinction which needs to be kept in mind between that which was unique to that specific office and that aspect or function of it which continues in the New Testament form of the church institute."

"text": "\"by Tino Tkalec - Freelance Software Engineer @ Toptal#Authentication #Authorization #JWT #No Cookies1.1Kshares With the rising popularity of single page applications, mobile applications, and RESTful API services, the way web developers write back-end code has changed significantly. With technologies like Angular JS and Backbone JS, we are no longer spending much time building markup, instead we are building APIs that our front-end applications consume. Our back-end is more about business logic and data, while presentation logic is moved exclusively to the front-end or mobile applications. These changes have led to new ways of implementing authentication in modern applications. Authentication is one of the most important parts of any web application. For decades, cookies and server-based authentication were the easiest solution. However, handling authentication in modern Mobile and Single Page Applications can be tricky, and demand a better approach. The best known solutions to authentication problems for APIs are the OAuth 2.0 and the JSON Web Token (JWT). What is a JSON Web Token? A JSON Web Token, or JWT, is used to send information that can be verified and trusted by means of a digital signature."

( January 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Portlets are pluggable user interface software components that are managed and displayed in a web portal, for example an enterprise portal or a web CMS. A portlet can aggregate (integrate) and personalize content from different sources within a web page. A portlet responds to requests from a web client with and generates dynamic content. Portlets produce fragments of markup ( HTML, XHTML, WML) that are aggregated into a portal. Typically, following the desktop metaphor, a portal page is displayed as a collection of non-overlapping portlet windows, where each portlet window displays a portlet. Hence a portlet (or collection of portlets) resembles a web-based application that is hosted in a portal. Some examples of portlet applications are e-mail, weather reports, discussion forums, and news."

If so, check out the updated version of this article. Use Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova to build mobile apps using web technologies (HTML, CSS, Java Script) that run on Android, i OS, and Windows devices. Since Cordova apps are built using web application code, you'll be able to share the majority of your code across device platforms; learn more. In this guide, we'll show how to build, test and debug a Cordova application using the Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova. Along the way, you'll build a simple mobile weather app that looks like this: The application displays current weather conditions based on the current device location plus enables users to search for weather conditions using a US postal (zip) code. You can find the application's source code here. Note: Before we begin, make sure you have completed the Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova Installation. First, create a project Open Visual Studio and create a new project by opening the File menu, select New then Project; you can also use the key combination: Ctrl + Shift + N. In the New Project dialog, open the list of installed templates, and expand the Java Script option. In the list of templates that appears, select Blank App (Apache Cordova) as shown in the figure: Note: If you like coding in Type Script, there's a template for that under Type Script -> Apache Cordova Apps."

It is brought on by long-term high blood pressure in the arteries of the lung and right ventricle of the heart. Reference from A. D. A. M. Back to Top Alternative Names Right-sided heart failure Back to Top Causes High blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs is called pulmonary hypertension. The right side of the heart has a harder time pumping blood to the lungs when this happens. If this high pressure continues, it puts a strain on the right side of the heart, leading to cor pulmonale. Any chronic lung condition that causes prolonged low blood oxygen levels can lead to cor pulmonale. A few of these causes include: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)Chronic blood clots in the lungs Cystic fibrosis Scarring of the lung tissue ( interstitial lung disease)Severe curving of the upper part of the spine ( kyphoscoliosis)Obstructive sleep apnea, in which pauses occur during breathing because of airway inflammation Back to Top Symptoms Shortness of breath or light-headedness during activity is often the first symptom. You may have a fast heart beat and feel like your heart is pounding. Over time, symptoms occur with lighter activity or even while at rest."

Share Flipboard Email Print Michael Cohen/Getty Imagesby Brent Kelley Updated March 30, 2017\"\"COR\"\" is an acronym for \"\"Coefficient of Restitution.\"\" It is a technical term describing the energy transference between two objects. The coefficient of restitution of Object A is a measurement of Object A's ability to transfer energy to Object B when A and B collide. So, in a golf context, the golf club is Object A and the golf ball is Object B. Does a fairway wood or iron have a very high COR? Then there is less energy loss at impact with the golf ball compared to a fairway wood or iron with a lower COR. Technical Specs Tom Wishon, golf club designer and founder of Tom Wishon Golf Technology, gives a more technical definition of COR this way:\"\"Coefficient of restitution is a measurement of the energy loss or retention when two objects collide. The COR measurement is always expressed as a number between 0.000 (meaning all energy is lost in the collision) and 1.000 (which means a perfect, elastic collision in which all energy is transferred from one object to the other). \"\" Some examples of a zero energy transfer and a perfect energy transfer will help us grasp the concept. Here's Wishon:\"\"An example of a COR of 0.000 would be one piece of very sticky chewing gum colliding with another similar piece."

Mission is the divine activity of sending intermediaries, whether supernatural or human, to speak or do God's will so that his purposes for judgment or redemption are furthered. The biblical concept is expressed by the use of verbs meaning \"\"to send, \"\" normally with God as the expressed subject. The Hebrew verb is salah [ j;l'v] and the Greek is apostello [ ajpostevllw ]. These terms emphasize the authoritative, commissioning relationship involved. The Scriptures also employ the cognates apostolos [ ajpovstolo\"\"] (\"\"apostle, \"\" the one sent) and apostole [ ajpostolhv] (\"\"apostleship, \"\" the function of being sent), referring to the one sent and his function. The biblical concept of \"\"mission\"\" comprehends the authority of the one who sends; the obedience of the one sent; a task to be accomplished; the power to accomplish the task; and a purpose within the moral framework of God's covenantal working of judgment or redemption. Mission in the Old Testament. The first records in biblical history of God's sending is his banishment of Adam and Even from the garden and the angelic mission to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah ( Gen 3:23 ; 19:13 ). The redemption from Egypt and the conquest of the land has its dark side: judgment on the idolatrous nations Israel escapes from or displaces."

But just as often, I am reminded that the biggest obstacle to that recognition begins right here at home. We as a state still haven't quite learned how to love ourselves. The latest evidence came in the form of the realization that the state flower is the camellia, a flower native to Korea, China, and Japan. Conspicuously absent from that native range is the great state of Alabama. In most states, the state flower is a plant native to the state, such as the magnolia for Mississippi, the violet for New Jersey, or the California poppy in the bear state. Sure, camellias are lovely. But a state flower should be about putting the state's best foot forward. Not Japan's best foot.

"text": "About Field Peas Highlights Blackeye peas, crowder peas, field peas, and Lady Cream peas are varieties of the same species commonly called “cowpeas” or “Southern peas”Like blackeye peas, crowder and field peas are ideal for soul food dishes Field peas, crowders, and Lady Creams are delicious when cooked with Camellia Brand’s Dry Herb Blend Scientific Name: Vigna Unguiculata The Field Pea Story Field peas, crowder peas, cream peas (along with blackeye peas) are all part of a larger species of beans commonly called “cowpeas” or “Southern peas.” Despite their names, none of these varieties is actually a pea. These beans were brought to the New World from Africa and became part of the Southern diet beginning in the 1600s. Cowpeas are commonly grown in the South since they are adaptable, heat-tolerant, and drought-resistant. Field peas are similar in flavor and texture to blackeye peas and are ideal for soul food dishes. The crowder pea variety gets its name from the way its peas crowd themselves in the pod. It has a rich, hearty flavor and creates a dark pot liquor when cooked. Lady Creams are a type of cowpea that has no color and, when cooked, they yield a clear pot liquor. They have a sweet flavor and creamy texture and are featured in Southern dishes. These cowpea varieties are delicious when cooked with smoked pork (such as tasso), onions, and garlic sauteed in butter, and dried garden herbs or Camellia Brand’s Dry Herb Blend."

"text": "Hydrangeas Deer resistant hydrangea?hasmoody13 March 26, 2015Hello! I am looking to replace some shrubs this spring and need to find something that is deer resistent, offers a bit of privacy in front of large bay window, and is pretty...is that too much to ask? I would like to put in hydrangeas in place of two arborvitaes I planted in the fall that the deer ate! What is a good option for my needs? I found one online called endless summer but I figured I'd see what you all suggest! I am in Cleveland and according to my lawn fertilization company, my area has highly acidic soil. ( I am pretty clueless on gardening and landscaping but I see you guys often ask where someone lives before offering suggestions) the front of my house is probably part shade! I say this because I don't think I get true direct sunlight but don't really know since its been a pretty rough winter and we moved into the house in late September. All suggestions are welcome! I am not limited to hydrangeas Thank you!Email Save Comment 8 Like Comments (8)Thank you for reporting this comment."

New plants include our own introductions from our breeding program, older varieties that have proven to have good qualities and recent introductions from other breeders. We try to offer Camellias that represent the wide variation in the genus: from small and simple-flowered to a myriad of wild forms and large, many-petaled hybrids. SIZES AND PRICESCamellias are quite variable in growth rate in pots. Slower growers may be smaller than the sizes listed but an approximate guide for ordering plants is as follows:1 year old plants cost $20 and are 6 to 18 inches tall in 1 or 2 quart pots.2 year old plants cost $30 and are 12 to 30 inches tall in 1 gallon pots.3-4 year old plants cost $65 and are 18 to 42 inches tall and bushy in 3 gallon pots. We generally keep the Camellias in relatively small pots to avoid waterlogged soil and poor root growth. We strive to grow plants with healthy root systems which adjust well to being planted outdoors. I do not disturb the roots when planting unless a large thickened root has begun to circle in the pot; I have found that the many small roots rapidly grow out into surrounding soil and do not cause problems in later years. Sort By: Page of 56Camella sasanqua 'Susy Dirr'Our Price: $30.00NEW ‘Susy Dirr’ (zone 7) – This has a large bright pink formal double flower on a vigorous shrub. The bloom starts early in the season and the plant should reach 10-12’ tall and 6-8' wide quite rapidly."

There are more than 1,100 different types of camellias in the Garden – one of the largest collections of Camellias in the Southeastern U. S. Visitors will find camellias throughout the Garden, but the majority of the collection can be found in two places – Mirror Lake and the Hofheimer Camellia Garden. The camellia collection is designated an Official North American Collection by the North American Plant Collection Consortium (NAPCC) in 1997. NAPCC is a program of the American Public Gardens Association in cooperation with the USDA Agricultural Research Service. As part of this national designation, the Garden is committed to holding and developing collection of documented living plants according to specified standards. In addition, NAPCC-recognized plant collections are available for selection and breeding, taxonomic study evaluation, utilization, and other research purposes. Our Camellia collection has also been designated an International Garden of Excellence by the International Camellia Society (ICS). Additionally NBG is a destination Camellia garden on the American Camellia Trail. This American Camellia Society project is a partnership of public gardens with notable collections located across the country.

In the northern part of this plateau, west of Jackson county, there are about 1,000 square miles (2,600 km 2) of level highlands from 700 to 800 feet (210 to 240 m) above sea level. South of these highlands, occupying a narrow strip on each side of the Tennessee River, is a country of gentle rolling lowlands varying in elevation from 500 to 800 feet (150 to 240 m). To the northeast of these highlands and lowlands is a rugged section with steep mountain-sides, deep narrow coves and valleys, and flat mountain-tops."

"text": "\"Since most camellia japonica varieties do not have much if any fragrance, we grow several fall & winter blooming plants that add a pleasant fragrance when planted among camellias. The most fragrant of all is Daphne Odora which blooms from late January to mid March. Daphne Odora has a variegated leaf or solid green leaf varieties. Each of these varieties also has a pink and a white blooming cultivar. Daphnes grow about 3 feet high and 4 feet around and are very drought resistant. Foreword:\"\" Daphne odora is a compact, broad leaf evergreen shrub that offers early color and fragrance not available from any other plant. It is a great addition to the shade garden in zones 7-9 and can be used in the shrub border or planted singly or in small groupings. It can also be used in containers and placed near high traffic areas during peak bloom periods. No other plant offers such a wonderful fragrance from January through March. I have 20 Daphne odora in my own garden. \"\""

"text": "\"By Felicia Paik What started out as a war against crabgrass quickly turned into a passion. \"\" I started gardening in self-defense,\"\" says Norm Bodine Norm Bodine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich. Six years ago, Bodine set out to terrace the hillside on his one-acre property. Then, he got ideas about putting in ponds, a waterfall and a Japanese garden. From spring to fall, Bodine now spends at least 90 minutes daily working on his garden. \"\" It's become a form of exercise, so I don't have to go to the gym,\"\" says the 59-year-old retired manufacturing executive who worked at the former Allied Signal and United Technologies. In July, Bodine will open his garden to visitors through the Garden Conservancy 's Open Days Program, a national program that invites the public to visit America's best but rarely seen private gardens. Through local committees, the conservancy picks the best gardens in their regions according to unity and harmony of design; innovative use of the site and plantings; and diverse mixture of colors, textures and plants. In 1995, the conservancy published its first Open Days Directory, listing 100 private gardens in New York and Connecticut. Last year, more than 400 gardens in 26 states were open for tour and were selected by local committees. The Open Days program is modeled after similar programs abroad including England's popular Yellow Book and Australia's Open Garden Scheme."

This means that they can be successfully grown in all parts of the UK which do not have chalk. In chalky or limestone (i.e. alkaline) areas camellias can only be grown in containers filled with a peat based compost and watered with rainwater rather than tap water which may also have a lime content. Avoid planting camellias near old walls which may have been built with cob or lime mortar. If this leeches out into the surrounding soil camellia leaves can turn an unsightly yellow and extra feeding will be needed. Return to top Planting Tips Back to Top Camellias can be grown in full sun, partial or even full shade. Dappled shade is perhaps ideal especially for white flowering forms. They can readily withstand the coldest winters and are fully hardy. They are tap rooting plants and grow very quickly. If planted in a windy area a stake is advisable for the first few years as these evergreen plants can twist and break off at ground level in exposed positions."

"text": "�Ornamental Plant Susceptibility to Damage by Deer in Florida 1Martin B. Main, Joe Schaefer and Ginger M. Allen 2General Comments Deer have many qualities we admire and value. Deer also may become a nuisance when their feeding behaviors damage ornamental plants and gardens and cause aggravation, inconvenience, and financial costs to property owners. As human dwellings continue to increase in rural areas where deer occur, the incidence of deer-human conflicts also will increase. This is particularly true where human developments replace native habitats and reduce the availability of natural foods preferred by deer. In these instances, deer may quickly become accustomed to feeding upon gardens, ornamental plantings, groves, and nurseries. Damage from deer may be reduced by fencing and the use of chemical repellents (see Main, Schaefer, and Allen, 1999), but a simpler, less expensive, and generally more effective alternative is to landscape with plants that deer do not like to eat. Deer will feed upon a variety of vegetation including weeds and flowers, grasses, trees, shrubs, vines, and fruits and vegetables. Deer do not eat all plants, however, and diet is influenced by plant qualities such as taste and digestibility, and individual preferences among animals. Where deer densities are high, even plants that are normally avoided may be eaten. This IFAS extension fact sheet identifies some of the ornamental plants commonly planted in Florida and their susceptibility to damage from deer."

Some varieties are too tender for harsh winters, too tender for very hot weather or full sun, too sensitive to droughts or wet conditions. For specific problems, visit Cold Resistance, Sun & Shade, and Heat Tolerance. Select the variety for the location. Different varieties grow different heights. Some are tall, over 6', and some are dwarf, barely 12\"\", and many are in between. Unfortunately, most rhododendrons never stop getting taller, but their height is quoted for plants that are 10 years old and by that time most varieties have slowed down their growth considerably. But if you choose plants that are the right size to begin with, they are relatively maintenance free. The American Rhododendron Society website has good charts for rhododendrons and azaleas giving the hardiness and height."

They prefer free-draining conditions, with plenty of organic matter, such as leaf mould, incorporated into the soil. Being ericaceous plants, camellias require an acid soil. If your soil isn't acid then consider growing your camellia in a container. Watering Tap water, especially in hard water districts, often contains too much calcium for camellias, reducing the acidity around the roots over time. Rain water is ideal for watering camellias. If rain water runs out, tap water is satisfactory for a month or two in summer. Feeding Feed camellias in spring and early summer with acidic fertilisers, such as Chempak Ericaceous, Miracle-gro Ericaceous, sulphate of ammonia or sulphate of potash."

This was especially important when crossing large, empty expanses of desert in which people were unable to resupply.

"text": "\"Ubar, Fabled Lost City, Found by L. A. Team : Archeology: NASA aided in finding the ancient Arab town, once the center of frankincense trade. February 05, 1992 | THOMAS H. MAUGH II | TIMES SCIENCE WRITERThe fabled lost city of Ubar, celebrated in both the Koran and \"\"A Thousand and One Arabian Nights\"\" as the center of the lucrative frankincense trade for 3,000 years before the birth of Christ, has been found by a Los Angeles-based team of amateur and professional archeologists. Using a combination of high-tech satellite imagery and old-fashioned literary detective work, they discovered the fortress city buried under the shifting sands of a section of Oman so barren that it is known as the Rub'al Khali or Empty Quarter. Built nearly 5,000 years ago, Ubar was a processing and shipping center for frankincense, an aromatic resin grown in the nearby Qara Mountains. Used in cremations and religious ceremonies, as well as in perfumes and medicines, frankincense was as valuable as gold. Ubar's rulers became wealthy and powerful and its residents--according to Islamic legend--so wicked and debauched that eventually God destroyed the city, allowing it to be swallowed up by the restless desert. T. E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia, called it \"\"the Atlantis of the sands\"\" and, like the undersea Atlantis, many scholars doubted that Ubar ever existed. In a news conference today at the Huntington Library in San Marino, the researchers will announce that the site excavated over the past two months reveals an unusual eight-sided structure that must have been every bit as magnificent as it was portrayed in legend. Moreover, the researchers say they have documented how the city fell, and that it did not appear to be by divine retribution for wickedness. In building his \"\"imitation of paradise,\"\" the legendary King Shaddad ibn 'Ad unknowingly constructed it over a large limestone cavern."

In primitive societies only religious events - cult rituals, or rites of passage such as marriage - bring people together in a comparable way. But in these cases the participants are already linked, by custom or kinship. The process of barter brings a crowd together in a more random fashion. New ideas, along with precious artefacts, have always travelled along trade routes. And the natural week, the shared rhythm of a community, has frequently been the space between market days. Agricultural produce and everyday household goods tend to make short journeys to and from a local market. Trade in a grander sense, between distant places, is a different matter. It involves entrepreneurs and middlemen, people willing to accept delay and risk in the hope of a large profit. The archive found at Ebla gives a glimpse of an early trading city, from the middle of the third millennium BC."

Before the 1st millennium CE, the Sahara was an almost impassable barrier separating the North African coast from sub-Saharan Africa (Tropical Pp). And the Atlantic Ocean not a highway for travel, but a barrier (Tropical Pp). The only route connecting the two areas was the Nile, however, in its southern reaches travel was made difficult by both rapids and surrounding jungle (Tropical Pp). The monsoon winds were the propulsion for ships, the driving force for navigation in the Indian Ocean, blowing ships northeast in summer, and then back southwest in winter (Tropical Pp). Indian Ocean trade first increased under local groups from southern Arabia, India, and Southeast Asia, then outside groups, such as the Chinese became involved and a network establishing a link between East African commercial city-states and the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia (Interregional Pp). By the 16th century, the Portuguese dominated this system and linked it directly, rather than through Mediterranean intermediaries, with Europe (Interregional Pp). Although products, such as spices from Southeast Asia and other expensive goods, continued to be exchanged, bulk good such as sugar and textiles were increasingly involved (Interregional Pp). With the introduction of the camel, the Sahara was no longer a barrier and people and trade good as well as warriors, could travel quickly across the desert (Tropical Pp)."

"text": "Written By: Nora Gonzalez Share:i Stockphoto/Thinkstock Camels have long been known for their ability to go weeks at a time without needing to drink water—an ability that makes them particularly useful pack animals for people traveling across arid environments and that earned them the nickname “ships of the desert .” Camels are also known for their prominent humps (either one or two humps, depending on the species), which leads many people to believe that these are used to store water for access at a later time. However, camels’ humps actually store fatty tissue, not water, which is used as a source of nourishment when food is scarce. So why do camels store fat in these humps instead of having it spread equally throughout their bodies, like other mammals? Camels typically live in the desert, where food sources can be hard to come by. When a camel is unable to access food for a long period of time, its body is able to metabolize the fat in the humps for nutrition. The humps can deflate and droop if the camel has gone a particularly long time without food, but they will sit upright again once the camel is able to refuel. The camel’s humps also help the animal regulate its body temperature, an important feature in the desert, where temperatures can be extremely high during the day and drop drastically at night. By concentrating fatty tissue in humps on their backs, camels are able to minimize heat insulation throughout the rest of their body during the day when the temperature is high, and their body temperature rises. Then, at night, the extra heat dissipates through the rest of the camel’s body so that their body temperature is not too low when the temperature is cooler."

Alexander travelled down the Nile from Memphis to Lake Mareotis, where he chose the site for the city that became Alexandria. Then he continued along the coast to Paraitonion (modern Mersa Matrouh) before striking southwards into the desert towards Siwa, using camels as his pack animals.\"\" F2 \"\"Further to your last answer (Q&A, July 17), I am unsure what Mr Pailing means by Alexander the Great's being the first literary reference to camels in Egypt, but by Alexander's time the Old Testament was already an antiquity. In Genesis both Abram (xii, 16) and the Ishmaelites (xxxvii, 25) apparently took their own camels to that country. Additionally, in Exodus, in the description of the fifth plague, Moses is told to promise Pharaoh upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.\"\" F3So, whilst in my original LBC essay I looked at a range of issues such as authentic ancient adoption practices, marriage customs, semi-nomadism, and private armies, I will concentrate here on the sole issue of where did Abraham (or Abram as he then was) get his camel? Given the semi-legitimate questions of sceptics and enquirers it could also be asked \"\"where did Pharaoh get his from?\"\". It appears natural to think of Abraham, a semi-nomad, as owning and riding camels, but many commentators think it an anachronism, possibly pointing to a later date for the authorship of Genesis."

Many were simple traders who took goods from one town or oases to the next and then returned home, or they were horsemen who earned an income from trading and transporting goods between settled towns. After the 14th century, much of the silk from the East was shipped from a Genoan port on the Crimea to Europe. According to UNESCO: “The process of travelling the Silk Roads developed along with the roads themselves. In the Middle Ages, caravans consisting of horses or camels were the standard means of transporting goods across land. Caravanserais, large guest houses or inns designed to welcome travelling merchants, played a vital role in facilitating the passage of people and goods along these routes."

Imported into Australia from British India and Afghanistan [1] during the 19th century for transport and construction during the colonisation of the central and western parts of Australia, many were released into the wild after motorised transport replaced the use of camels in the early 20th century, resulting in a fast-growing feral population. By 2008, it was feared that Central Australia's feral camel population had grown to about one million and was projected to double every 8 to 10 years. Camels are known to cause serious degradation of local environmental and cultural sites particularly during dry conditions. A AU$19 million management program was funded in 2009 and upon completion in 2013, the feral population was estimated to have been reduced to around 300,000.

The first suggestion of importing camels into Australia was made in 1822 by Danish-French geographer and journalist Conrad Malte-Brun, whose Universal Geography contains the following;For such an expedition, men of science and courage ought to be selected. They ought to be provided with all sorts of implements and stores, and with different animals, from the powers and instincts of which they may derive assistance. They should have oxen from Buenos Aires, or from the English settlements, mules from Senegal, and dromedaries from Africa or Arabia. The oxen would traverse the woods and the thickets; the mules would walk securely among rugged rocks and hilly countries; the dromedaries would cross the sandy deserts."

"text": "The Geography of Arabia It is a convention of historians to begin the history of a region with its geography. They do so partly because the drama of history is played out in the “theater” of its geographical backdrop; and partly because of the factor known in geopolitics as the “determinism of geography. ”It has been said that not only institutions but geography, climate, and many other conditions unite to form the influences which acting through successive generations, shape up the character of individuals and nations, and character plays a vital role in shaping up their history. The Arabian peninsula is the cradle of Islam. Islam was “born” in it, and “grew up” in it, and was already “full-grown” when it came out of it. It was in the Arabian cities of Makkah and Medina that the classic Islamic identity was evolved, and Islam actually “jelled.” A grasp of the geography of Arabia, therefore, is necessary for the understanding of the drift of its history. Following is a synopsis of the geography of the Arabian peninsula: Arabia, like any other region, has the kind of terrain that molds and modifies those who live in it and move through it. It's a stern, grim and inhospitable land, and is or was, until the obtrusion of oil, a constant challenge for survival to the wits of man. His survival in it depended upon his ability to come to terms with it."

A: Quick Answer Camels are called \"\"ships of the desert\"\" because of their numerous and unique physical traits that enable them survive in harsh desert climates, particularly their ability to consume very little water without dehydrating. There are several species of camels, such as the Arabian camel and Bactrian camel, which vary slightly in physical appearance, but share a suite of characteristics and physical features, such as broad flat feet and a double row of eyelashes, to help them survive in hot and arid deserts.

Alice Springs is a thriving, spirited outback centre - as famous for the personality of its locals as the natural wonders that surround it. The history and heritage of Alice Springs overflow with a rich cast of characters - in the late 1800's and early 1900s only the most intrepid pioneers braved its rugged environment. From Afghan cameleers to flying doctors, today it is possible to pay homage to their legacy at various historic sites around the town. A great base from which to explore its surrounding natural wonders, the town itself defies most travellers' expectations combining a strong sense of its outback history with all the convenience of modern facilities. Most of all, it is the uncomplicated yet vibrant personality of Alice that leaves a lasting impression on visitors. Australian Explorer: Alice Springs (or the Alice) received its name in 1933, although it developed in 1871 as a telegraph repeater station between Adelaide and Darwin. The town's development was slow, however, and the old road to Adelaide wasn't replaced until 1987. Although the town is fairly modern and a moderate size, it is set amongst the harsh outback, although ideally situated next to some of Australia's great wonders. From the top of Anzac Hill you can get some great views overlooking Alice Springs and the Eastern Mac Donnell Ranges and Western Mac Donnell Ranges."

If well treated, the domestic camel is very docile and easy to manage. If ill-treated, they can become very stubborn. Camels can easily be identified by the unique one or two humps on their back and their long necks. When running, a camel can reach a speed up to 40 mph in short bursts, 25 mph for longer periods of time. Camels do not have hooves. The foot of a camel is made up of a large leathery pad, with two toes at the front, the bones of which are embedded in the foot. The padding makes the gait of a camel silent, and keeps it from sinking in the sand. The camel also has pads of thick leathery skin, on its leg joints, enabling it to kneel or lay in the hot sand."

Guanaco inhabits scrublands, savannas, grasslands, deserts, forests and rocky areas, usually at the high altitude (up to 13 000 feet). Habitat loss, as a result of human activity, is the main factor that affects number of guanacos in the wild.

At the last census, in 1992, the collection exceeded 3.5 million specimens. The diversity of species (~ 600), the quality of preservation, and the large numbers of specimens makes this collection invaluable for the study and understanding of the end of the last Ice Age in North America. Rancho La Brea is perhaps best known for its extensive holdings of carnivorans, of which dire wolves ( Canis dirus ), saber-toothed cats ( Smilodon fatalis ), and coyotes ( Canis latrans) predominate among the 60 plus species of mammals. Asphalt is a superb preservative; small and delicate fossils, such as hollow bird bones or paper-thin exoskeletons of beetles are very well-preserved here. As a result, our collection of fossil birds is one of the world’s largest. Although earlier collectors focused on larger specimens, like saber-toothed cat skulls and ground sloth limb bones, the ongoing Pit 91 excavation was started with the specific goal of collecting the microfossils that early excavators passed over. Nearly all of the plants (160 species), invertebrates (205 species), fish (3 species), amphibians (5 species) and reptiles (24 species) are currently known only from Pit 91. Project 23, however, is also focusing on the recovery of all microfossils as well as the larger specimens, and thus far has produced some remarkable specimens, such as articulated millipedes and oak leaf layers. Both are new to the Rancho La Brea collections."

It has long been used as a term to describe any hooved herbivorous mammal, but the ungulates have not been thought to constitute a single group of closely related animals until recently. The 'ungulates' were considered to comprise the Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates like pigs or cattle), the Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates like horses or tapirs) and various fossil groups of primitive ungulates. The aardvark, elephants and hyraxes were referred to as 'subungulates'. Today, the 'Ungulata' is believed to contain 6, perhaps 7 living orders: The Order ARTIODACTYLA (even-toed ungulates eg. pigs, camels, deer and cattle).

Share: FULL STORYBoth woolly mammoths and saber toothed tigers may have fought each other and ultimately driven themselves to extinction thousands of years ago after humans arrived on the scene, upsetting a delicate balance that had previously existed. Credit: Artwork by Mauricio Anton, courtesy of Oregon State University A new analysis of the extinction of woolly mammoths and other large mammals more than 10,000 years ago suggests that they may have fallen victim to the same type of \"\"trophic cascade\"\" of ecosystem disruption that scientists say is being caused today by the global decline of predators such as wolves, cougars, and sharks. In each case the cascading events were originally begun by human disruption of ecosystems, a new study concludes, but around 15,000 years ago the problem was not the loss of a key predator, but the addition of one -- human hunters with spears. In a study published in the journal Bio Science, researchers propose that this mass extinction was caused by newly-arrived humans tipping the balance of power and competing with major predators such as saber-toothed cats. An equilibrium that had survived for thousands of years was disrupted, possibly explaining the loss of two-thirds of North America's large mammals during this period. \"\" For decades, scientists have been debating the causes of this mass extinction, and the two theories with the most support are hunting pressures from the arrival of humans, and climate change,\"\" said William Ripple, a professor of forest ecosystems and society at Oregon State University, and an expert on the ecosystem alterations that scientists are increasingly finding when predators are added or removed. \"\" We believe humans indeed may have been a factor, but not as most current theory suggests, simply by hunting animals to extinction,\"\" Ripple said. \"\" Rather, we think humans provided competition for other predators that still did the bulk of the killing. But we were the triggering mechanism that disrupted the ecosystem. \"\""

Other camelids closely related to the alpaca are llama, guanaco and vicuna. Today they live everywhere in the world in alpaca farms where they are kept as pets or for their fleece. Their natural habitat includes high mountain foothills in the Altiplano range at 11,500 to 16,000 feet or 3,500 to 5,000 meters above sea level. About 3.5 million or 75% of the population of alpacas live in Peru. Physical Features The alpaca is a small camelid with no hump. They are bred for their fiber and meat. They are too small as pack animals. Alpacas have camel like face with long pointy ears, thick lips and large eyes. They have only lower teeth at the front of their mouth and a hard palate on top."

"text": "Understanding Digestion in the Horse: Comparative Approach October 28, 2007 By Kentucky Equine Research Staff Print Email Have you ever considered the gastrointestinal tract of the mouse-chasing tabby that lurks around your stable? Ever thought about how market hogs derive energy from their diets of corn and soybeans? Does a three-ton elephant really have anything in common with your horse, digestive or otherwise? In today’s highly specialized world, animal nutritionists tend to consider themselves specialists in either ruminant or nonruminant nutrition. Ruminant nutritionists appreciate the significance fermentation plays in meeting the nutritional components of animals with multiple stomachs, but they tend to think of most nonruminants as “simple-gutted.” Nonruminant nutritionists, conversely, often dismiss the importance of microbial fermentation to the health and well-being of the animal. These are critical oversights, because fermentation plays a key role in the nutritional ecology of almost every species of animal including horses. Therefore, a basic understanding of the function fermentation plays in a wide range of species is critical when considering its importance in the horse. An appreciation of the continuity of microbial fermentation across several species allows information gathered in one species to be used for the benefit of other species. Digestion of Carbohydrates In order to understand the significance of fermentation in animal digestion, a brief explanation of carbohydrate digestion is needed."

"text": "“A dromedary has one hump, and a camel has a refreshment car, buffet, and ticket collector.” — Monty Python’s Flying Circus, “Camel Spotting”In A Nutshell A dromedary is a subspecies of camel, native to deserts across India, Africa, and the Middle East. So what’s with the animals that have one hump and the ones that have two? That’s where the difference comes in; the dromedary has one hump, while the other subspecies of camel, the Bactrian, has two. And also unlike their more popular cousins, the Bactrian lives in the searingly hot (and freezing cold) rocky deserts of Central and East Asia. The Whole Bushel When we think of camels, it’s usually the more popular dromedary that comes to mind first. One of two subspecies of camel, these are the one-humped variety. It’s thought that their original habitat was southern Asia and the Middle East, but now they can be found throughout the desert regions of the Middle East, India and Africa. The most noticeable difference between the dromedary and the Bactrian is the number of humps—the Bactrian has two. They’re also found in a much more northern climate than the dromedary."

Answer by MGSF Confidence votes 3.6KHoofed mammals are any mammals that have hooves on the tips of their toes. Most of them are herbivorous and social. They are sorted into even-toed and odd-toed hoofed mammals. Even-toed hoofed mammals include pigs and their relatives, hippopotamuses, camels, llamas, alpacas, vicunas, guanacos, deer, giraffes, okapis, cows and their relatives, goats and their relatives, and antelope. Odd-toed hoofed mammals include horses, donkeys, zebras, tapirs, and rhinoceroses. Cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) do not have hooves but are actually the closest relatives of even-toed hoofed mammals. A group of animals called subungulates are sometimes grouped with hoofed mammals. This group includes elephants, aardvarks, hyraxes, manatees, and dugongs."

"text": "The Biodiversity Impact of Cane Toads What impact do cane toads have on biodiversity in Australian ecosystems? Many people think it's a catastrophe when toads arrive - but what is the evidence? Surveys of public opinion often suggest that Australians see cane toads as the worst invasive species in this country – worse even than scourges like rabbits, foxes, cats, pigs, goats, camels and the like. It’s not obvious why people react so strongly to toads – a lot of it seems to be related to an emotional reaction – “YUK, THEY’RE DISGUSTING! !” It’s puzzling to people from other countries where toads of one kind or another are common native species (in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North and South America). Perhaps because most other types of toads are much smaller than cane toads, plus the fact that the local toads “belong there”, these little warty animals often are regarded with affection. It’s hard to find that affection in Australia towards cane toads!Rachael Clark and her colleagues recently conducted surveys to ask the Australian public WHY they hate cane toads so much. Until then, all we had to go on was a general feeling from talking to lots of people about cane toads (taxi drivers, for example, almost always seem to have strong opinions about these animals!). And the main result to emerge from those conversations was the YUK factor – people just don’t like cane toads, full stop. Some people worry about domestic pets (especially small dogs, like terriers) being poisoned by cane toads – and this is indeed a very real problem not just in Australia but in other parts of the cane toad’s introduced range (for example, in Florida)."

But, where it is native the Casuarina was a life saver. When I first moved to Florida, a life-time ago as a young man escaping snow, I slept out many a night under the Australian Pines listening to the sea breeze whistling through its needle-like branches, which brings up my first point: The Australian Pine is not a true pine. It looks like a pine but it is not a “pinus.” Pine needles are actually modified leaves. What looks like “needles” on the Australian Pine are actually branchlets. On those skinny needle-like branchlets are the minute leaves. So the tree is not edible like a pine. In fact, in Australia that “pine” it is called the She-Oak and the Bull-Oak — no, I have no idea why the gender bending. While not an oak either it does have several overlooked positive elements."

"text": "“A dromedary has one hump, and a camel has a refreshment car, buffet, and ticket collector.” — Monty Python’s Flying Circus, “Camel Spotting”In A Nutshell A dromedary is a subspecies of camel, native to deserts across India, Africa, and the Middle East. So what’s with the animals that have one hump and the ones that have two? That’s where the difference comes in; the dromedary has one hump, while the other subspecies of camel, the Bactrian, has two. And also unlike their more popular cousins, the Bactrian lives in the searingly hot (and freezing cold) rocky deserts of Central and East Asia. The Whole Bushel When we think of camels, it’s usually the more popular dromedary that comes to mind first. One of two subspecies of camel, these are the one-humped variety. It’s thought that their original habitat was southern Asia and the Middle East, but now they can be found throughout the desert regions of the Middle East, India and Africa. The most noticeable difference between the dromedary and the Bactrian is the number of humps—the Bactrian has two. They’re also found in a much more northern climate than the dromedary."

"text": "\"English - Latin Dictionary:camel Is this translation helpful? Add to favorites!Synonyms of the word \"\" camel \"\":camels The definition of word \"\" camel \"\":+3 1. large desert animal with a humped back; yellowish-brown color; pontoon (Nautical)+1 2. Either of two species of large, hump-backed ruminants of the family Camelidae. Camels are used as draft and saddle animals in desert regions of Africa, Arabia and Asia. Adaptations to windblown deserts include double rows of eyelashes, the ability to close the nostrils and wide-spreading soft feet. They also can tolerate dehydration and high body temperatures. They are thus able to go several days without drinking water. Though docile when properly trained, camels can be dangerous. The Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) is about 7 ft (2 m) tall at the top of the two humps; the Arabian camel (C. dromedarius), or dromedary, has one hump and is 7 ft (2 m) high at the shoulder."

"text": "Flag Why were camels introduced into Australia? Answer by On the Wallaby Confidence votes 292KPassionate about all things Australian When the telegraph and the railways were build in central Australia it was found that the Camel was a great pack animal for transporting supplies and personnel. However after the job was finished they were simply turned loose. Australia is now the only country where you will find camels living in the wild. Camels came to Australia long before the telegraph and railways were built. The first camels were introduced into Australia in 1840 by John Ainsworth Horrocks, who opted to use them in his exploration of the arid interior. Nine camels were imported from the Canary Islands but only one, named Harry, still survived six years later, as little was understood of the camels' needs. After Harry the camel managed to shoot Horrocks while he was trying to remove his gun from its pack, leading to a lingering and agonising death for Horrocks, the animal was itself shot. The next large group of camels was brought to Australia by George Landells in 1860 for the purpose of what would be later known as the Burke and Wills' expedition from Melbourne to the Gulf of Carpentaria. These were the predecessors of today's wild camels."

"text": "Australian farming and agriculture – grazing and cropping For over 100 years, from the 1840s to the 1950s, the Australian economy was seen to be ‘riding on the sheep's back'. Agriculture, especially wool, established Australia as a thriving economy with a substantial workforce, service industries and large port cites. Australian farmer with sheep, Courtesy of Agricorner Australian agriculture benefitted from many different agricultural practices, formal and informal land grants, overseas capital and access to relatively cheap labour through Indigenous workers and indentured schemes. Combined with invention, ingenuity and hard work this has led to Australia becoming a leading exporter of fine food, meats and grains. However, from 1901 to 2009 there has been a dramatic decline proportionally in the income from wool, and the people employed in agriculture, from 14 per cent to 3 per cent. At the same time, there has been an increase in the head of cattle and the variety of profitable agricultural export industries. Most of Australia's agricultural products continue to be exported and farmers supply about 93 per cent of Australia's food. There have been many changes in farming methods over the last 200 years and Australian farmers have had to be adaptable as well as resilient and inventive. The challenges of access to fresh water, the legacy of high amounts of fertilisers, massive clearing, over grazing, a tyranny of distance, transport costs and feral animals, have tested Australian farmers to their limits. In response, farming has become more mechanised and reliant on technologies, as well as holistic as it seeks to become more sustainable."

Not to be confused with Camel Caravan, a former radio program. A camel train or caravan is a series of camels carrying passengers and/or goods on a regular or semi-regular service between points. Although they rarely travelled faster than the walking speed of a man, camels' ability to withstand harsh conditions made them ideal for communication and trade in the desert areas of North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula for centuries, though they could only travel on routes with sufficient sources of food and water. Camel trains were also used sparingly elsewhere around the globe but during the 20th century they have been largely replaced by motorized vehicles or air traffic.

This herbaceous perennial thrives in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 8. If you have any dogs, you don't have to worry about them eating your bellflowers because they aren't toxic to canines. Campanula glomerata \"\"Superba\"\"Bellflowers (Campanula spp. ), including the \"\"Superba\"\" cultivar, produce flowers that are violet-blue or deep purple in color and, as their common name implies, are shaped like bells. These perennials, of the Campanulaceae family, bloom in June or July and grow best in full sun or partial shade. This cultivar tends to tolerate heat better than other Campanula species. Plants grow up to around 2 1/2 feet in height and 2 feet in width, thriving in moist but well-drained soil. Flowers appear for around three weeks after blooming in large clusters of around 15 blooms each on the plant's stems. Toxicity According to the California Poison Control System, bellflower plants of the Campanula species are not toxic to either pets or people."

My rose blooms don't last long maybe one day, and the blooms are small. Most of my annuals have died even the verbena is suffering. I did have luck growing a Delphinium and a foxglove this past winter in the shade, well now I had to cover them with a shade screen because they are getting some sun now, they are doing ok. I don't like the summers here in the desert, It is to hot to go out and it is so depressing to see my rose blooms like that. I can only stand maybe 30 minutes outside in the evening. I just can't take the heat, which could be because of the meds I have to take. These are the plants that are hanging in there: Coreopsis Mexican Primrose Agapanthus Babys Breath Echinacea-Sunrise Gazana Campanula-Bellflower Calandulaa few zinnas some of them died in the heat I find these plants boring ( except the babys breath), I would rather plant Petunias,Lobilia Stock,Fox Gloves, you know the English garden type flowers.

The stems die back over winter but the roots don’t, so the plant will regenerate the following year.

"text": "\"Herb Garden Basics Basal Leaf By Marie Iannotti Updated 08/24/17Share Pin Email Harry Rose / Flickr / CC BY-2.0A basal leaf is one that grows from the lowest part of the stem. Basal, in general, refers to the base of a structure. Plants with basal growth often grow in what is called \"\"rosettes\"\", meaning the leaves form a circle at the base of the stem, all growing to a similar length, and somewhat resembling the petals of a rose. Why Do Some Plants Grow Basal Leaves in Rosettes? There are several reasons for this occurrence. The cluster of low sitting leaves can serve as protection for the roots of the plant, when the top of the plant dies back in winter. Plants like lettuce and many succulents may grow in rosettes to conserve water. When they are ready to go to seed, the stem elongates, or bolts, and sets flowers and seeds. In this case, the original plant usually dies. Many weeds, like the common dandelion and plantain, are protected by their basal rosettes because the leaves make it harder to pull the plant from the ground."

The pistil, centrally located, typically consists of a swollen base, the ovary, which contains the potential seeds, or ovules; a stalk, or style, arising from the ovary; and a pollen -receptive tip, the stigma, variously shaped and often sticky. In pollination, compatible pollen grains land on the stigma and then germinate, forming a pollen tube. The pollen tube grows down through the tissue of the style to deposit sperm for the fertilization of the ovules in the ovary. Pistils in the collective sense form the gynoecium, in distinction to the male reproductive parts, or androecium ( see stamen ).pistil Lily with a pistil surrounded by stamens.i Stockphoto/Thinkstockhow flowering plants reproduce Reproduction in flowering plants begins with pollination, the transfer of pollen from anther to stigma on the same flower or to the stigma of another flower on the same plant (self-pollination) or from the anther on one plant to the stigma of another plant (cross-pollination). Once the pollen grain lodges on the stigma, a pollen tube grows from the pollen grain to an ovule. Two sperm nuclei then pass through the pollen tube. One of them unites with the egg nucleus and produces a zygote. The other sperm nucleus unites with two polar nuclei to produce an endosperm nucleus. The fertilized ovule develops into a seed."

"text": "Home »Lawn The Temperature That Grass Starts to Grow After Winter By Thomas Urbauer As temperatures drop in fall or winter, turf grasses go dormant, turning brown and using their energy to maintain their root systems throughout the colder months. When temperatures rise again in spring, these grasses begin greening up at various temperatures, depending on the grass type. Cool-Season Grasses Cool-season grasses, such as blue grass and tall fescue, begin growing when temperatures reach at least 40 degrees F and grow best between 60 and 70 degrees F, according to the North Carolina Cooperative Extension. The roots of these grasses grow at soil temperatures of just 33 degrees F. Cool-season grasses in regions with mild winter weather may not enter dormancy at all. Warm-Season Grasses Warm-season turf grasses include zoysia, St. Augustine and Bermuda grass. These grasses go dormant following the first heavy frost in the fall and remain dormant until temperatures rise to at least 70 degrees F; they prefer temperatures of 80 to 95 degrees F. Soil temperatures must reach at least 64 degrees F for warm-season grass roots to grow, according to North Carolina Cooperative Extension. Considerations Warm-season grasses damaged by very cold temperatures or long periods of cold may fail to green up well in the spring. Spring fertilization, along with proper watering and mowing for your specific grass species help encourage healthy turf growth and color. Increasing daylight hours also encourages spring turf growth.

Males and females look similar. Photo courtesy of Laura Kammin, University of Illinois Extension. Did you know? There are seven subspecies of Canada geese. The giant Canada goose ( maxima) subspecies is the most common in Illinois, and is a year round resident. Canada geese fly in a V-shape formation because flying this way reduces wind resistance and helps the geese to conserve energy. Canada geese mate for life but will re-mate if one of the pair dies. Description and Identification Canada geese are large birds weighing 6 to 24 pounds. They have a black head and neck with a white patch on either side of the head."

"text": "\"You don't have to be in the great white north to see Canada geese. These beautiful birds are plentiful in North America, ranging from the frigid Arctic to the temperate areas of North America. They adapt well to their environments, living in cities or suburbs and often inhabiting areas along rivers, ponds and lakes. Ladies and Gentlemen If you're trying to discern which geese hanging out around your park pond are male and female, you'll have to be observant. Male and female Canada geese are identical as far as markings go, sporting black heads and necks, white patches on their faces, light-colored chests and brownish-grey plumage. Unlike other birds, such as mallard ducks, the male Canada goose doesn't have distinctive, colorful plumage that separates him visually from the female. If you see a pair of geese together, chances are the bigger of the pair is the male; male Canadian geese tend to be about 10 percent larger than the females. On average, male Canada geese weigh between 7 and 14 pounds and females weigh between 5.5 and 12 pounds. Watch and Listen Listening to their calls may provide a clue; the male has a slower, low-pitched honk and the female makes a \"\"hink\"\" noise, higher-pitched and faster than the male's. If you come across geese in a nesting situation, the goose on the nest will be the female, tending to her eggs."

In psychology and ethology, imprinting is any kind of phase-sensitive learning (learning occurring at a particular age or a particular life stage) that is rapid and apparently independent of the consequences of behaviour. It was first used to describe situations in which an animal or person learns the characteristics of some stimulus, which is therefore said to be \"\"imprinted\"\" onto the subject. Imprinting is hypothesized to have a critical period. Contents [ hide ]1 Filial imprinting2 Sexual imprinting3 Westermarck effect4 Baby duck syndrome5 See also6 References7 Further reading8 External links Filial imprinting [ edit]Ducklings following their mother The best-known form of imprinting is filial imprinting, in which a young animal acquires several of its behavioural characteristics from its parent. It is most obvious in nidifugous birds, which imprint on their parents and then follow them around. [ 1] It was first reported in domestic chickens, by the 19th-century amateur biologist Douglas Spalding. It was rediscovered by the early ethologist Oskar Heinroth, and studied extensively and popularized by his disciple Konrad Lorenz working with greylag geese. [ 2]Lorenz demonstrated how incubator-hatched geese would imprint on the first suitable moving stimulus they saw within what he called a \"\" critical period \"\" between 13–16 hours shortly after hatching. For example, the goslings would imprint on Lorenz himself (to be more specific, on his wading boots), and he is often depicted being followed by a gaggle of geese who had imprinted on him."

"text": "\"All 9,000 species of birdshave the same approach to motherhood: every one lays eggs. No bird gives birth to live young. Birds quickly form and lay an egg covered in a protective shell that is then incubated outside the body. Birds developed much great mobility than a mammal, but at the cost of being unable to carry its growing offspring about in its body. Unlike, say, a dog carrying a litter of puppies. The large size of a egg makes it difficult for the female to retain more than a single one egg at a time - carrying eggs would make flying harder and require more energy. ( Bird eggs vary in size from the tiny 0.2 gramme eggs of hummingbirds to the enormous 9 kilogram eggs of the extinct elephant bird. ) Just as an aircraft cannot fly if it is overweight, all female birds must dispense with the fertile egg as soon as it is formed. And because the egg is such a protein-rich high-nuitrition prize to all sorts of predators, birds must find a secure place to hatch their eggs. Although birds' eggs appear to be fragile, they are in fact extremely robust."

( photo: Charles Francis) Canada is home to billions of birds belonging to some 451 regularly occurring native species that raise their young or spend their non-breeding seasons in this vast and varied country. Increasingly, these birds face many threats here and elsewhere. Successful conservation of this biological wealth requires that we manage these threats to maintain or restore healthy populations of all species of birds—including extra measures to ensure recovery of the 66 bird species currently assessed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern. Careful monitoring of the status of Canada’s birds is essential to guide successful conservation and management actions for these and other species. Early response to warning signs in the environment is more cost-effective than critical intervention. This report summarizes the status of Canada’s bird populations, both nationally and individually, for each of eight major regions of the country (see the chapter “Measuring the State of Canada’s Birds” for details on methods). The results point to the strong influences of human activity on birds, both positive and negative. This report also identifies threats to birds and offers solutions to keep common birds common and restore threatened species. Canadian bird populations have changed."

"text": "\"Snow Geese - Born to Migrate Text and photography Copyright Nandakumar Sankaran All rights reserved. My first encounter with snow geese was rather brief. While driving through the backroads of Skagit Valley north of Seattle, a large patch of white on an otherwise barren brown field caught my eye. As I passed a US Fish and Wildlife refuge, I realized that the large patch of white was actually a huge flock of wintering Snow Geese. I made a U-turn on the narrow backroad and entered the refuge's parking lot. As I got out of the van, camera in hand, the huge flock took flight, an initial murmur quickly transforming into a thunderous roar as tens of thousands of Snow Geese flapped their wings and exchanged calls as they scouted a new feeding ground. Within minutes, the flock settled on a farther field, starting to feed once again. For the remainder of that day, the flock receded farther and farther into the distance, leaving us with no opportunity to observe or photograph them. However, the momentary experience of watching the birds, as they took flight, encouraged me to learn more about the birds and re-visit this wintering ground with hopes of better opportunities to observe and photograph them before they embarked on their northerly migration to arctic nesting grounds. Native Indians of North America have long observed the seasonal migration of snow geese, but it was only recently that their nesting grounds were discovered."

S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) proposes continued liberal waterfowl hunting season lengths and bag limits for the 2015-16 late seasons. Each year, the Service works in partnership with states from the four Flyway Councils (Pacific, Central, Mississippi, and Atlantic) to establish regulatory frameworks for waterfowl hunting season lengths, dates and bag limits. States select their individual seasons from within the federal frameworks to establish their earliest beginning and latest ending dates, and bag limits. Concurrent with this season’s frameworks announcement, the Service is also streamlining the process by which it sets annual migratory game bird hunting seasons and bag limits. Beginning with the 2016-17 hunting seasons, the current two-cycle regulatory practice will be compressed into a single annual process. Biological data from the past year will now be used to set hunting season dates and project appropriate harvest limits for each game species. The change will give biologists more time to analyze bird survey data that inform the Service’s regulatory decisions, and will give the public more time to weigh in on proposed rules. The change will also ensure that administrative procedures do not delay the opening of state hunting seasons. The new regulatory process came out of a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement published by the Service in 2013 that was informed by public comment. For more details about the new process and its impacts, seehttp://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/pdfs/FSEIS%20Issuance%20of%20Annual%20Regulations%20Permitting%20the%20Hunting%20of%20Migratory%20Birds.pdf."

When my father called to say a friend of his had pulled up with the carcass of a freshly-killed goose, and that he planned to cook it for family dinner, I was more than a little hesitant When I told people I was planning to eat a Canada Goose, they looked at me as if I'd said I was roasting a rat for dinner. The wild Branta canadensis is ranked down there with the pigeon and the seagull as one of North America's most loathed birds. And for good enough reason. A flock of geese flying in formation might look beautiful from a distance, but these birds cause problems, crowding parks and public space and polluting waterfronts with their waste. Many farmers hate them too. A group of hungry geese searching for seed can trample a newly-planted field in mere minutes, wasting the crop. Their reputation both city-side and in the country is so bad that, when, over the years, officials have suggested culling the flocks and then offering the meat at homeless shelters, the response often has been outrage at the idea of forcing on the poor the indignity of eating a Canada Goose. Because of their flâneur-like loitering, a goose might seem an easy snatch, but it takes skill to nab one."

If you remove the eggs each day, she will continue to lay eggs throughout the season, how many eggs any goose might lay being dependant on the breed/strain.11 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

In the 1960's, when the Federal Endangered Species Act came into being, the Trumpeter Swan was considered for this list. At about the same time, a nesting population of about 2,000 Trumpeters was discovered in Alaska. The species was then taken off the consideration list. However, various states list the Trumpeter as either state-threatened or state-endangered. What is a male swan called, a female swan? A male swan is called a Cob. The female is called a Pen and the young of the year are called cygnets."

D. — Most people likely think of beef and dairy when they think of South Dakota livestock, but one processor in the northeast corner of the state is North America’s No. 1 provider of domestic geese and capons. Schiltz Foods Inc. of Sisseton, processes more than 90 percent of the domestic geese on the American market.

Canada geese have a large degree of variation in size, travel habits, and location. The subspecies most recognized as a resident in Indiana is the Maxima or “giant” Canada goose (Branta canadensis maxima). However, seven subspecies of greater Canada geese exist in North America ranging in weight from approximately 3 to 24 pounds. Several different subspecies of Canada geese migrate through Indiana in spring and fall. The vast majority of the birds that stay in Indiana (resident geese) are giant Canada geese. All Canada geese have similar physical traits despite size variation. Adult Canada geese have grayish brown wings, backs, sides and breasts; black tails, feet, legs, bills, and heads; and long black necks with distinctive white cheek patches that usually cover part of the throat. Males tend to be bigger than females though the two sexes’ physical traits are identical."

Once a gander has his harem set up, it shouldn't be changed. It takes some time for domestic geese to take on new mates, although it will eventually occur. Wild Geese Most species of wild geese mate for life, although a surviving bird will find another mate if the original partner dies. The Canada goose is the most common and best-known of wild geese species in North America. These geese begin mating and reproducing at the age of 3 years. Mating season extends from mid-winter to early spring. Signs that mating will soon occur include neck-dipping behavior, in which both male and female move their necks up and down. Males court females, but the female makes the decision as to who will be her mate."

However, taxonomists recognize up to 11 subspecies (i.e., Giant, Lesser, Western, Atlantic, Interior, Richardson's, Dusky, Vancouver, Taverner's, Aleutian and Cackling Goose) that reside within the United States and Canada. Here in the mid-Atlantic region, the Giant Canada goose is most common. The Canada goose has a grayish-brown body and wings, a white breast, black feet, bill, and neck, and a characteristic white patch on each cheek (Fig. 1). Although body size varies somewhat among the subspecies, most individuals range between 3-15 pounds. In our Giant Canada goose, males typically reach 8-14 pounds as adults, whereas females usually are slightly smaller, reaching about 7-12 pounds at maturity. Canada geese are relatively long-lived animals-it is not unusual for an individual bird to live up to 25 years. Today, we recognize two distinct behavioral patterns in Canada geese: those birds that are truly migratory and those that are non-migratory (or resident). Migratory Canada geese spend the spring and summer on the breeding grounds in the northern parts of their range and then fly south during fall to their wintering range."

Photo: Christine Blais-Soucy A stunning photo is making the rounds on the web of a snowy owl nest wreathed by 70+ lemmings. The picture tells the story of rich times for one snowy owl; it had so much prey at its disposal that it couldn’t stop itself killing more rodents than it could eat. This picture presents a hypothesis for this winter’s snowy owl invasion. Here’s the idea: a superabundance of lemmings occurring in summer 2013 during the owls’ nesting season resulted in high nesting success. No baby owls went hungry and a superabundance of owls fledged. Seeking to space themselves out, many of these young, well-fed owls are now invading unusually southern latitudes throughout North America. At this point, we can’t be sure what has brought all of these owls south, but we do know that lemmings play a critical role in influencing snowy owl breeding distribution and nesting success. Beyond their role in the lives of owls, lemmings influence almost all aspects of arctic ecosystems."

There are many places in the continental United States where these birds will make a pit stop on the way to warmer climates of the south. Because of the amount of geese that can fly together at one point during their migration they can end up making a public park of your property if you have a pond or some water where they can rest. They leave a lot of droppings and can even make you and your pets sick. Unfortunately they can also destroy crops and get you a higher car washing bill. Canadian geese can also be a bit aggressive if you try to scare them away, so you should learn other ways to keep them off your property. Don’t Let Them Land The best way to get them off your property is to prevent them from ever landing in the first place. You could get some sort of predator decoy that geese can see from the sky. That method is effective because the Canadian geese will see danger and pick another spot for landing."

Like everything, with the good comes the bad and, when we speak of cancer, a lot of bad information is unfortunately published. Everybody seems to have his/her own interpretation of the Warburg theory. In this document I'll try to clarify what this theory is and what we know about cancer cell metabolism. The Warburg Effect In 1931 Otto Heinrich Warburg was attributed the Nobel price in Physiology and Medicine mainly for his investigation of the metabolism of tumours and the respiration of cells, and more particularly for his discovery of the nature and mode of action of respiratory enzymes. He edited and has much of his original work published in The Metabolism of Tumours (tr. 1931) and wrote New Methods of Cell Physiology (1962). Otto Warburg observed that cancer cells' metabolism is different than the one of normal adult cells. Normal adult cells use a small energy plant located inside them to produce most of their energy needs from oxygen, this is an aerobic process. In contrast, cancer cells rely mainly on the first part of the energy production process dependant on glucose (sugar), this is an anaerobic process."

Woese devised this categorization scheme by comparing the 16S r RNA sequences of living cells. The use of this specific ribosomal RNA was key to his success, as it was proved to be present in all living organisms. Therefore, comparison of this gene sequence was useful in determining the phylogeny of cellular life. This sequence differed between domains depending on the environment that surrounded the organisms as well as their method of metabolism. As a result, the prokaryotes were split into two domains, the archaea and bacteria, while the eukarya remained in a separate class due to their multicellular characteristics. ( 1)Despite the common misconception that bacteria are organisms that only cause disease, they play an important role in facilitating our digestion. For example, the large intestine is home to hundreds of bacteria that aid in absorption, excretion, and catalysis of undigested foods."

In reality we take O2 for granted and with it our breathing, which most of us do quite badly. And now we even have a huge federal government wanting to make oxygen’s twin into public enemy number one [1] and that is a sin. Researchers found that an increase of 1.2 metabolic units (oxygen consumption) was related to a decreased risk of cancer death, especially in lung and gastrointestinal cancers. [ 2]The makeup of the human body is largely composed of the element oxygen. Oxygen (O2) physiology takes us down to the foundation of life and it is there where we meet up with some other structural substances like water (H2O), carbon, bicarbonate and CO2 (Oxygen’s necessary twin gas), magnesium, sulfur and then a host of other important substances like iodine and selenium and all the basic amino acids and on and on.

In particular, the hypoxic regions in tumors are difficult to treat and are a major cause of treatment failures. 8 Most conventional anticancer therapies only target the well-vascularized areas of tumors and rely on tumor vasculature or oxygen transport, leaving behind hypoxic cells that can potentially regenerate the tumor following treatment. Hypoxic regions are more resistant to systemic anticancer agents and radiotherapy, as oxygen is a required effector of radiation-induced cell death. The dose required to kill hypoxic cells through radiation is up to 3 times higher than the amount normally used in well-oxygenated cells. 1 In search of a more effective and specific cancer targeting treatment, researchers have tested the use of bacteria for creating new cancer therapies. Studies have shown that bacteria-directed cancer treatments increase the rate of tumor reduction and only target cancer cells, leaving the other cells intact. 12Microscopic Leifson flagella stain of Clostridium novyi.

The makeup of the normal flora may be influenced by various factors, including genetics, age, sex, stress, nutrition and diet of the individual. Three developmental changes in humans, weaning, the eruption of the teeth, and the onset and cessation of ovarian functions, invariably affect the composition of the normal flora in the intestinal tract, the oral cavity, and the vagina, respectively. However, within the limits of these fluctuations, the bacterial flora of humans is sufficiently constant to a give general description of the situation. A human first becomes colonized by a normal flora at the moment of birth and passage through the birth canal. In utero, the fetus is sterile, but when the mother's water breaks and the birth process begins, so does colonization of the body surfaces. Handling and feeding of the infant after birth leads to establishment of a stable normal flora on the skin, oral cavity and intestinal tract in about 48 hours. It has been calculated that a human adult houses about 1012bacteria on the skin, 1010in the mouth, and 1014in the gastrointestinal tract."

Bizio named the genus Serratia in honor of and Italian physicist named Serratia, and chose marcescens for the species name after the Latin word for decay [3]. Serratia marcescens was first thought to be harmless (non-pathogenic). Due to its ability to produce red pigmentation, it was first used in 1906 as a marker in order to trace bacterial activity or transmission [4]. It was not until later in the 1950’s that the US government experimented with the Serratia marcescens and the harmful affects that the bacteria causes were revealed. A study using Serratia marcescens was carried out to determine the possibility of biological weapons being transmitted by wind current. In the famous “Operation Sea Spray” the US Army filled balloons with Serratia marcescens and exploded them over San Fransisco. Serratia marcescens was chosen because it was easily tracked due to its pigment production."

Biology, Western Connecticut State University (2009)Updated Jul 27, 2016 · Author has 2.4k answers and 2.4m answer views Cellular respiration has a potential to produce between 36 and 38 moles of ATP per mole of glucose (C6H12O6). In aerobic respiration in the mitochondria, there are 2 moles of ATP produced in the citric acid cycle ( Krebs cycle) by substrate-level phosphorylation, and between 32 and 34 moles of ATP produced by oxidative phosphorylation through the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. Outside the mitochondria, glycolysis produces 2 ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation anaerobically. Each NADH [from glycolysis] produces a net 1.5 ATP (instead of usual 2.5) due to NADH transport over the mitochondrial membrane. The amount of energy contributed by glycolysis differs depending on which electron carrier (NADH or FADH2) is used to span the mitochondrial membrane. That is why the amount of ATP produced by cellular respiration is estimated to be between 36 and 38 moles. Also: Biology textbooks often state that 38 ATP molecules can be made per oxidized glucose molecule during cellular respiration (2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system). [ 2] However, this maximum yield is never quite reached because of losses due to leaky membranes as well as the cost of moving pyruvate and ADP into the mitochondrial matrix, and current estimates range around 29 to 30 ATP per glucose.

Medically, shock is defined as a condition where the tissues in the body don't receive enough oxygen and nutrients to allow the cells to function. This ultimately leads to cellular death, progressing to organ failure, and finally, if untreated, whole body failure and death. How the body works Cells need two things to function: oxygen and glucose. This allows the cells to generate energy and do their specific jobs. Oxygen in the air enters the body through the lungs. Oxygen molecules cross from the air sacs of the lungs into the smallest blood vessels, the capillaries, and are picked up by red blood cells and attached to hemoglobin molecules. The red blood cells are pushed through the body by the actions of the pumping heart and deliver the oxygen to cells in all the tissues of the body."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Lactate Shuttle)navigation search The lactate shuttle hypothesis was proposed by professor George Brooks of the University of California at Berkeley, describing the movement of lactate intracellularly (within a cell) and intercellularly (between cells). The hypothesis is based on the observation that lactate is formed and utilized continuously in diverse cells under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions. [ 1] Further, lactate produced at sites with high rates of glycolysis and glycogenolysis can be shuttled to adjacent or remote sites including heart or skeletal muscles where the lactate can be used as a gluconeogenic precursor or substrate for oxidation. [ 2]In addition to its role as a fuel source predominantly in the muscles, heart, brain, and liver, the lactate shuttle hypothesis also relates the role of lactate in redox signalling, gene expression, and lipolytic control. These additional roles of lactate have given rise to the term ‘lactormone’, pertaining to the role of lactate as a signalling hormone.

[ 4] As a means of regenerating oxidized NAD +, lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate in the cytosol, oxidizing NADH to NAD +, regenerating the necessary substrate needed to continue glycolysis. Lactate is then transported from the peripheral tissues to the liver by means of the Cori Cycle where it is reformed into pyruvate through the reverse reaction using lactate dehydrogenase. By this logic, lactate was traditionally considered a toxic metabolic byproduct that could give rise to fatigue and muscle pain during times of anaerobic respiration. Lactate was essentially payment for ‘ oxygen debt ’ defined by Hill and Lupton as the ‘total amount of oxygen used, after cessation of exercise in recovery there from’. ["

"text": "GREEN TEA ALKALIZES ROOT CAUSE OF NEARLY ALL DISEASENobel prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg, in his 1966 speech at the annual meeting of Nobelists in Lindau, Germany, states, “Cancer, above all other diseases, has countless secondary causes. Almost anything can cause cancer but, even for cancer, there is only one prime cause..... The prime cause..... Is the replacement for the respiration of oxygen in normal cells by a fermentation of sugar. All normal cells meet their energy needs by respiration of oxygen whereas cancer cells meet their energy needs in great part by....fermentation.... All normal cells are thus obligate aerobes, whereas all cancer cells are partial anaerobes. Oxygen gas, the donor of energy in plants and animals, is dethroned in the cancer cells and replaced by an energy-yielding reaction of the lowest living forms. ”In other words… Dr. Warburg is saying that a lack of oxygen is at the basis of all cancer and disease. A build up of acids in the body causes free radical damage that results in a reduction of oxygen. These free radical acids ferment the sugars allowing cancer cells to proliferate and feed off of the fermented sugars. Bad bacteria and other microbes can proliferate by feeding off of these bad sugars too. The objective of drinking Do Matcha Green Tea is to reverse acidity, fermentation and putrefaction of sugars that feed anaerobic organisms. The idea is to create an alkaline ph as an aerobic environment so the immune system can functions better."

Organic Sulfur–Why is sulfur so important to health and why has it been depleted in our foods? December 30, 2009 Kathryne Pirtle 6 Comments Sulfur is one of the most important minerals in our body. It is critical to help us detoxify and regenerate new tissue. Historically, the foods we ate had ample sulfur. However, since the industrialization of our food supply, our soils have been depleted of sulfur and even pastured, organically grown foods will often not provide our bodies with adequate levels of this mineral. The following study will help you to understand more about this important nutrient. The Sulfur Study Early results of an experimental study using Organic Sulfur By Patrick Mc Gean, Director Cellular Matrix Study The Cellular Matrix Study (referred to here as “The Sulfur Study”) was organized in 1999. This study was inspired by a fatal type of breast cancer, a type of germ cell reproductive cancer that had been reported to respond to organic sulfur. While researching this cancer, it became obvious that the sulfur cycle plays an important role in the regeneration of our cells."

If you are in very poor shape, if you can't handle die-off or detoxification, you may need to deal with these issues. Disruption of Body Wide and Cellular Detoxification -- and Cellular Energy Production At a basic level, candida produces so many toxins that your liver gets worn out, overworked, and is not able to eliminate all those toxins. They get shunted to cells, to be gotten out of the way. Which doesn't help out the cells any, to say the least. Toxins cause the most problems when they are floating around in the bloodstream or other areas of your body, before they are shunted into cells. Candida toxins can cause you to feel like your drunk, make you feel extreme fatigue, make you feel like you are sick. When you kill candida, the toxins in it get released. Kill a bunch of candida, a whole lot of toxins are released. If, as is the usual case, the liver is not able to handle this load of toxins, they end up making you feel lousy."

But oxygen is not only a life giver it is also a killer of harmful anaerobic infectious bacteria. These bacteria cannot grow or survive where there are high levels of oxygen. However unlike drugs and antibiotics, oxygen kills the harmful bacteria without destroying the aerobic, or beneficial bacteria, which are essential for good heath.

The connotation by the public is an intense emotional reaction to a stressful situation or bad news. The medical definition of shock is much different. Medically, shock is defined as a condition where the tissues in the body don't receive enough oxygen and nutrients to allow the cells to function. This ultimately leads to cellular death, progressing to organ failure, and finally, if untreated, whole body failure and death. How the body works Cells need two things to function: oxygen and glucose. This allows the cells to generate energy and do their specific jobs. Oxygen in the air enters the body through the lungs. Oxygen molecules cross from the air sacs of the lungs into the smallest blood vessels, the capillaries, and are picked up by red blood cells and attached to hemoglobin molecules. The red blood cells are pushed through the body by the actions of the pumping heart and deliver the oxygen to cells in all the tissues of the body."

The 2010 guidelines of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) for treating neutropenic cancer patients with fever recommend immediate empiric treatment with antibiotics effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogens. [ 4] Delays in administering the first dose are associated with higher mortality. The antibiotics of choice are those shown by culture and sensitivity studies to be the most effective for the organism causing the infection. If no causative organism is identified, use empirical broad-spectrum antibiotic coverage. Granulocyte growth factors and general supportive care should also be provided. Cytokines (growth factors) are used to stimulate production of neutrophils by acting on precursor cells. In cases of neutropenia, third-generation cephalosporins (eg, ceftazidime, cefepime) with or without gentamicin are used as first-line therapy. Imipenem-cilastatin and meropenem can be substituted for cephalosporins. Vancomycin should be used initially if a vascular access device–related infection is suspected."

"text": "Understanding Genetic Testing for Cancer Genetics, gene mutations, and cancer risk Genetics is the field of science that looks at how traits (such as eye color) are passed down from parents to their children through genes. Genes are pieces of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) inside our cells that tell the cell how to make the proteins the body needs to function. DNA is the genetic “blueprint” in each cell. Genes affect inherited traits passed on from a parent to a child, such as hair color, eye color, and height. They can also affect whether a person is likely to develop certain diseases, such as cancer. Changes in genes, called mutations, play an important role in the development of cancer. Mutations can cause a cell to make (or not make) proteins that affect how the cell grows and divides into new cells. Certain mutations can cause cells to grow out of control, which can lead to cancer. Still, only about 5% to 10% of all cancers are thought to be strongly related to an inherited gene mutation. Usually several gene changes or mutations are needed before a cell becomes cancer."

"text": "\"Frequently Asked Questions About Genetic Disorders What are genetic disorders? A genetic disorder is a disease caused in whole or in part by a change in the DNA sequence away from the normal sequence. Genetic disorders can be caused by a mutation in one gene (monogenic disorder), by mutations in multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance disorder), by a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors, or by damage to chromosomes (changes in the number or structure of entire chromosomes, the structures that carry genes). As we unlock the secrets of the human genome (the complete set of human genes), we are learning that nearly all diseases have a genetic component. Some diseases are caused by mutations that are inherited from the parents and are present in an individual at birth, like sickle cell disease. Other diseases are caused by acquired mutations in a gene or group of genes that occur during a person's life. Such mutations are not inherited from a parent, but occur either randomly or due to some environmental exposure (such as cigarette smoke). These include many cancers, as well as some forms of neurofibromatosis. Genetic disorders typically involve the inheritance of a particular mutated disease-causing gene, such as sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and Tay-Sachs disease. The mutated gene is passed down through a family, and each generation of children can inherit the gene that causes the disease."

Signs of A-T often develop in childhood. Children with A-T may begin staggering and appear unsteady (called ataxia) shortly after learning to walk. Most people with A-T will eventually need to use a wheelchair. People with A-T have normal intelligence, but over time, they develop slurred speech and have difficulty with writing and other tasks. Red marks called telangiectasias are caused by dilated capillaries, meaning tiny blood vessels, and may appear on the skin and eyes as people get older.

Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a hereditary condition most commonly associated with bilateral vestibular schwannomas, also known as acoustic neuromas. These are benign (noncancerous) tumors that occur on the nerves for balance leading to the inner ear. Although these tumors are benign, they can cause hearing and balance problems. People with NF2 also have an increased risk of other tumors of the nervous system. These tumors are generally not cancerous, but they may still lead to significant medical problems, especially if there are multiple tumors in or next to the brain. Other nervous system tumor types include: Schwannomas of other nerves Meningiomas, a slow-growing tumor that usually develops on the surface of the brain Gliomas, including ependymomas of the brain or spinal cord People with NF2 are at an increased risk of developing cataracts in the eyes and benign skin tumors. They may have café-au-lait spots, which are light brown pigmentation, the color of “coffee with milk”. This feature is similar to those individuals with Neurofibromatosis Type 1, but people with NF2 usually have fewer café-au-lait spots than people with NF1."

These changes can be inherited (we are born with them) or they can be acquired (they develop after we are born). The inherited changes explain why cancer of the pancreas runs in some families, and the acquired changes can be the result of either bad luck during cell replication or by exposure to carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals) such as those found in cigarette smoke. The genetics of hereditary pancreatic cancer is a focus of research at Johns Hopkins. It has been estimated that ten percent of pancreatic cancers are hereditary. Many of these occur as part of rare medical syndromes. These include: Familial breast cancer gene (BRCA2)BRCA2 was the second familial breast cancer gene identified. It was discovered in 1995 because of a remarkable advance made by the Hopkins team studying pancreatic cancer. The team at Hopkins had discovered a \"\"homozygous deletion\"\" (a missing piece of DNA) in a pancreatic cancer and postulated that this missing piece of DNA is where the BRCA2 gene could be found (Schutte et al, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1995)."

"text": "What Causes Prostate Cancer? Researchers do not know exactly what causes prostate cancer. But they have found some risk factors and are trying to learn just how these factors cause prostate cells to become cancer. On a basic level, prostate cancer is caused by changes in the DNA of a normal prostate cell. DNA is the chemical in our cells that makes up our genes. Our genes control how our cells function. We usually look like our parents because they are the source of our DNA. But DNA affects more than just how we look. Some genes control when our cells grow, divide into new cells, and die: Certain genes that help cells grow, divide, and stay alive are called oncogene s. Genes that normally keep cell growth under control, repair mistakes in DNA, or cause cells to die at the right time are called tumor suppressor genes. Cancer can be caused in part by DNA changes (mutations) that turn on oncogenes or turn off tumor suppressor genes."

Although many risk factors can increase the chance of developing renal cell cancer (RCC), it is not yet clear how some of these risk factors cause kidney cells to become cancerous. Changes (mutations) in genes Cancer is caused by changes in the DNA inside our cells. DNA is the chemical in our cells that makes up our genes, which control how our cells function. DNA, which comes from both our parents, affects more than just how we look. Some genes help control when our cells grow, divide into new cells, and die: Certain genes that help cells grow, divide, and stay alive are called oncogene s. Genes that help keep cell division under control or cause cells to die at the right time are called tumor suppressor genes. Cancers can be caused by DNA mutations (changes) that turn on oncogenes or turn off tumor suppressor genes, resulting in cells growing out of control. Changes in many different genes are usually needed to cause kidney cancer. Inherited gene mutations Certain inherited DNA changes can lead to conditions running in some families that increase the risk of kidney cancer.

"text": "Print Overview Anatomy of the eye Retinoblastoma is an eye cancer that begins in the retina — the sensitive lining on the inside of your eye. Retinoblastoma most commonly affects young children, but can rarely occur in adults. Your retina is made up of nerve tissue that senses light as it comes through the front of your eye. The retina sends signals through your optic nerve to your brain, where these signals are interpreted as images. A rare form of eye cancer, retinoblastoma is the most common form of cancer affecting the eye in children. Retinoblastoma may occur in one or both eyes. Symptoms Because retinoblastoma mostly affects infants and small children, symptoms are rare. Signs you may notice include: A white color in the center circle of the eye (pupil) when light is shone in the eye, such as when taking a flash photograph Eyes that appear to be looking in different directions Eye redness Eye swelling When to see a doctor Make an appointment with your child's doctor if you notice any changes to your child's eyes that concern you. Retinoblastoma is a rare cancer, so your child's doctor may explore other more common eye conditions first. If you have a family history of retinoblastoma, ask your pediatrician when your child should begin regular eye exams to screen for retinoblastoma."

Some risk factors, like smoking, can be changed. Others, like a person’s age or family history, can’t be changed. But having a risk factor, or even many risk factors, does not mean that you will get the disease. And many people who get the disease may have few or no known risk factors. Several factors can affect a person’s chance of getting cancer of the pancreas. Most of these are risk factors for exocrine pancreatic cancer. Risk factors that can be changed Tobacco use Smoking is one of the most important risk factors for pancreatic cancer.

Cancer refers to any one of a large number of diseases characterized by the development of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably and have the ability to infiltrate and destroy normal body tissue. Cancer often has the ability to spread throughout your body. Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States. But survival rates are improving for many types of cancer, thanks to improvements in cancer screening and cancer treatment. Symptoms Signs and symptoms caused by cancer will vary depending on what part of the body is affected. Some general signs and symptoms associated with, but not specific to, cancer, include: Fatigue Lump or area of thickening that can be felt under the skin Weight changes, including unintended loss or gain Skin changes, such as yellowing, darkening or redness of the skin, sores that won't heal, or changes to existing moles Changes in bowel or bladder habits Persistent cough or trouble breathing Difficulty swallowing Hoarseness Persistent indigestion or discomfort after eating Persistent, unexplained muscle or joint pain Persistent, unexplained fevers or night sweats Unexplained bleeding or bruising When to see a doctor Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any persistent signs or symptoms that concern you. If you don't have any signs or symptoms, but are worried about your risk of cancer, discuss your concerns with your doctor.

"text": "\"BRCA1 and BRCA2 Testing Save as Favorite Sign in to receive recommendations ( Learn more)Most people who develop breast cancer have no family history of the disease. However, if you do have a family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or both, heredity could have played a role in the cancer’s development. Most inherited cases of breast cancer are associated with two abnormal genes: BRCA1 ( BReast CAncer gene 1) or BRCA2 ( BReast CAncer gene 2). Women who inherit a mutation, or abnormal change, in either of these genes — from their mothers or their fathers — have a much higher-than-average lifetime risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 is NOT part of the standard pathology workup. Finding out whether you have an inherited gene abnormality requires a special test that uses a blood sample, not a tissue sample. If your doctor is concerned that you and your immediate relatives may have an inherited gene abnormality, he or she may recommend that you and other family members be tested. According to the National Cancer Institute, women with an abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have about a 60% risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetimes (compared to 12-13% for women overall). These women’s risk of ovarian cancer is also increased. Abnormal BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are found in 5-10% of all breast cancer cases in the United States."

From 1944 to 1954, only 25.1% of women diagnosed with any stage breast cancer survived for 10 years after diagnosis. Thanks to new treatments and research, 76.5% of woman diagnosed with breast cancer were alive 10 years after diagnosis during the years 1995 to 2004. The study results were presented at the 2010 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Breast Cancer Symposium. Sometimes it may seem as if improvements in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment are too gradual or too slow to be developed. But healthcare advances usually do happen in baby steps not giant leaps forward. And baby steps can add up to giant leaps over time: at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, breast cancer survival tripled in 60 years. The researchers looked at the medical records of all 12,809 women who were treated for breast cancer at the MD Anderson Center between 1944 and 2004 to figure out the survival rates over the 60 years. Survival rates went up dramatically no matter how advanced the breast cancer was at the time of diagnosis: Women diagnosed with breast cancer that hadn't spread beyond the breast (local breast cancer) had 10-year survival rates go up from 55.0% in 1944-54 to 86.1% by 1995-2004. Women diagnosed with breast cancer that had spread to nearby skin or lymph nodes (regional breast cancer) had 10-year survival rates go up from 16.2% in 1944-54 to 74.1% by 1995-2004."

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women and men both in the United States and throughout the world. Lung cancer has surpassed breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in women for the past 25 years. In the United States, there are more deaths due to lung cancer than the number of deaths from colon and rectal, breast, and prostate cancer combined. If lung cancer is found at an early stage, at least half of such patients will be alive and free of recurrent cancer five years later. Once lung cancer has metastasized, that is, spread to other distant organs, the five-year overall survival is less than 5%. Cancer occurs when normal cells undergo a transformation that causes them to grow abnormally and multiply without control and potentially spread to other parts of the body. The cells form a mass or tumor that differs from the surrounding tissues from which it arises. Cancers are also called malignant tumors."

Cancer statistics also tell us the likelihood of surviving a cancer diagnosis and the percentage of people who are alive years after a cancer diagnosis. Canadian provinces and territories collect data on cancer cases and cancer deaths. These data are combined to provide a picture of the impact of cancer for all of Canada. Statistics are an important part of healthcare planning and measuring the success of cancer control. Incidence and mortality Incidence is the total number of new cases of cancer. Mortality is the number of deaths due to cancer. To provide the most current cancer statistics, researchers use the most up-to-date data available and statistical methods to estimate the number of new cancer cases and deaths for the current year. An estimated 206,200 new cases of cancer and 80,800 deaths from cancer will occur in Canada in 2017. ("

Second and third stages of cancer can also be cured with treatments and therapies such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The fourth or the last stage of cancer is quite difficult to treat. In this last stage of cancer, the cancerous cells have spread to most of the body parts. Hence, in this stage along with removing the primary tumor, other body parts where the tumor has spread also have to be operated. Hence, the emphasis is on early detection of eye cancer. However, this cancer is difficult to diagnose in its initial stages. Physical symptoms appear only in the later stages of cancer."

Experts say that had the trial found six months of Herceptin was better than one year, Swiss pharmaceutical giant, Roche would have lost approximately $1.5 billion in revenue from this medication. Herceptin is a breast cancer blockbuster medication with sales last year of $5.5 billion. Approximately one quarter of patients with breast cancer tumors which generate HER2, a protein which makes the disease much more aggressive, are treated with Herceptin. The latest data from the Phase III HERA trial demonstrated that two years of treatment on Herceptin made no difference to patients' disease-free survival times - how long women lived without the cancer coming back. After being followed up for an average of eight years, the trial showed that disease-free survival improvements and overall survival for those on Herceptin was statistically significant when compared to patients on just observation. Roche added that \"\"there were no safety findings in the trial\"\". Hal Barron, M. D., Roche's Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Product Development, said: \"\"Herceptin has changed the lives of many people with HER2-positive early breast cancer by increasing their chance of cure. HERA is one of the largest and longest-running breast cancer trials and demonstrates our commitment to people with this aggressive disease.

Stage 1Stage 1 is considered localized and is divided into two stages, 1A and 1B, according to Cancer.gov: Stage 1A is found in one side of the chest wall lining and may also be found in the chest cavity between the lungs and/or the lining that covers the diaphragm. Cancer has not spread to the lining that covers the lung. Stage 1B is found in one side of the chest wall lining and the lining that covers the lung. Cancer may also be found in the lining of the chest cavity between the lungs and/or the lining that covers the diaphragm. Stage 2Stage 2 cancer is found in one side of the chest, in the the lining of the chest cavity between the lungs, the lining that covers the diaphragm, and the lining that covers the lung. Cancer has spread into one or both of the diaphragm muscle and lung."

"text": "\"The Underlying Causes of Cancer THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF CANCERFirst, a couple of stories to give you an idea of how well the strategies covered in this report have worked. \"\" End of June, 2011, my mom, an active 73 year old, was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. The doctor told us that she had a cantaloupe size tumor on her bowel, a grapefruit size tumor on her liver, and an orange size tumor on her pancreas. The tumor on her bowel was obstructing but they didn’t remove it because they did not want to wait for her to heal from major surgery before they could start the chemo. They only did a surgical intervention by giving her a colostomy which she absolutely hates! The doctor told us that the median survival for stage IV colon cancer is two years. Now that you know the history, I will tell you the rest of the story… bla, bla, BLA!!! We found the BLA through the internet. My dad has been giving it to my mom religiously as instructed, 8 squeezes in the morning held under her tongue for a minute before swallowing it, then 7 in the evening taken the same way. I was very skeptical at first but thought, well, does it matter, mom has end stage cancer, what has she got to lose?"

That's the only reason chemotherapy is still used. Not because it's effective, decreases morbidity, mortality or diminishes any specific cancer rates. In fact, it does the opposite. Chemotherapy boosts cancer growth and long-term mortality rates. Most chemotherapy patients either die or are plagued with illness within 10-15 years after treatment. It destroys their immune system, increases neuro-cognitive decline, disrupts endocrine functioning and causes organ and metabolic toxicities. Patients basically live in a permanent state of disease until their death. The cancer industry marginalizes safe and effective cures while promoting their patented, expensive, and toxic remedies whose risks far exceed any benefit. This is what they do best, and they do it because it makes money, plain and simple."

But how many of us could identify just one symptom of an even more deadly disease, ovarian cancer? By Rachel Carlyle PUBLISHED: 12:48, Thu, Mar 7, 2013Tracey Toop, with her daughter Ellise, was diagnosed last March In fact, the shocking answer is only three per cent - which may explain why we have one of the worst survival rates in Europe. Three quarters of women are only diagnosed once the cancer has spread, so it's not surprising that, out of the 7,000 new cases every year, only a third of women will live for five years. Campaigners are determined to follow in the footsteps of the breast cancer lobby and raise the profile of the disease, which mainly affects women over 50, and they've designated March as Ovarian cancer Awareness Month. \"\" Ovarian cancer has been overlooked for a long, long time - it's been put into the 'too difficult' box,' says Annwen Jones, chief executive of the target Ovarian cancer charity. \"\" There has been a vicious circle: it's typically diagnosed at a late stage so we have had poor survival rates and, as a result, there's been little awareness of the disease and therefore very little funding for research. We desperately need to break that circle.\"\" The main problem is its symptoms: persistent bloating, abdominal or pelvic pain, urinary and/or bowel problems and difficulty in eating. Taken on its own, each sign could easily indicate some other medical problem."

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

By Mayo Clinic Staff When first diagnosed with cancer, many people ask about their prognosis. You might want to know whether your cancer is relatively easy or more difficult to cure. Your doctor can't predict the future, but can make an estimate based on other people's experiences with the same cancer. What is a cancer survival rate? Cancer survival rates or survival statistics tell you the percentage of people who survive a certain type of cancer for a specific amount of time. Cancer statistics often use an overall five-year survival rate. Survival rates are usually given in percentages. For instance, the overall five-year survival rate for bladder cancer is 78 percent."

Even more so if those chefs are out-of-towners, as presumably some of the local ingredients will be more difficult to procure. Obvious enough, but something that is conveniently left off book jacket covers that woo you with photos of hand-cut pasta and wild mushroom stews that look all-home-kitchens accessible.

The process for eating an artichoke is somewhat non-intuitive - the fruit can't be eaten in its raw form because its tough fibers and sharp leaf tips can wreak havoc on your digestive system. However, if approached correctly, an artichoke can be a delicious, healthy and unusual addition to nearly any meal. Steps1 Cut off the sharp leaf tips with an artichoke knife or scissors. This is optional, but it makes eating the artichoke \"\"much\"\" easier later on.2 Don't boil the artichoke. Artichokes are steamed. You may place it in a few inches of water and bring the water to a low boil, but only a low boil, then cover. Do not cover them entirely, just a few inches. If you cover them too much with water they will turn brown. Steam for about 50 minutes."

The restaurateur occasionally drives to Bien Nacido Vineyard to cook a special lunch with a couple of buddies, Matt and Jeff Nichols, the chef-owners of Brothers’ Restaurant at Mattei’s Tavern (matteistavern.com), in nearby Los Olivos. At such times, Ostini takes his portable grill with him—his half-ton portable barbecue grill, running on its two rear wheels, hitched to the back of his pickup truck. Is it tough hauling the 1,000-pound steel monster 25 miles along the freeway? Ostini laughs. “ That’s a short ride. We’ve driven that thing to Oregon!” Ostini had the steel grill built in 1987 specifically to cook large portions of Santa Maria-style barbecue."

Known as nature’s buried treasures, roots and tubers are geophytes, a botanical term for plants with their growing point beneath the soil. Roots are parts of a plant that usually grow downward, anchoring the plant into the ground, where they absorb moisture and nutrients. Examples of root vegetables include beets, carrots, celeriac, parsnips, sweet potatoes, and turnips. Tubers form at the base of roots, and store energy in the form of starch to support new stem growth for the plant. Examples of tubers include potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, jicama, and yams. With wildly varying characteristics, and flavors ranging from earthy to sweet, roots and tubers are arguably the most nutritious, economical, and versatile foods. Roots and tubers: nutrition Because these vegetables are so diverse, their nutritional make-up is highly varied. For the history and nutritional profile of the most commonly eaten roots and tubers, see these listings: Beets Carrots Horseradish Parsnips Potatoes Radishes Sweet Potatoes Turnips and Rutabagas Other types of roots and tubers Arrowroot (arrowhead, fung quat): Also called a Chinese potato, this underwater rhizome can be as small as a small onion, which it in fact resembles, or as large as a coconut.

If you have just bought artichokes from your local greengrocer and you’re wondering how to freeze them, the first thing you have to know is, blanched artichokes last longer in the fridge than those stored fresh. So if you’re not planning of using the artichokes for the next couple of weeks, better blanch them first before freezing. Wash the artichokes thoroughly in cold water and blanch them in lemon juice (about half a cup), a tablespoon of ascorbic acid and two quarts of water. Immediately doing this would prevent discoloration from happening. Wait up to five minutes before putting them on a towel to dry."

Who is so frantic with their holiday shopping that they need to get to Kohl’s in the middle of the night? Can someone else that to me? MY LATEST VIDEOSI feel seriously sorry for all the retail workers who need to work during the holiday rush. Then after the shopping is done there is all the wrapping to get started on. What are your thought on wrapping gifts?"

"text": "\"Home Hacks How To Prepare Artichoke Hearts Emma Christensen Feb 12, 2010Share Email Artichokes have spiny tips on their leaves and a gag-inducing inner choke. They require a bit of prep work!Artichokes are not the most inviting of all vegetables. The spiny leaf tips prick our fingers and the downy interior choke can literally make us gag and cough if swallowed. But once you work past all that, artichoke hearts are one of the most delicious, tender, and even beautiful vegetables around! Here's how to get them ready to cook. What You Need1 or more artichokes A bowl of water A lemon Equipment Sharp paring knife Melon baller or grapefruit spoon (a regular spoon will do in a pinch)Instructions1. Cut the lemon into quarters and squeeze the juice into the bowl of water. Drop three of the quarters in the water and keep one back on your work surface. Artichokes start to brown very quickly, and acidulated water helps slow the process down. Once you've finished cutting the artichoke, it's good to rub it with fresh lemon juice and then hold it in the water while you finish preparing the rest.2."

Cut off stems at base and remove small bottom leaves. Stand artichokes upright in deep saucepan large enough to hold snugly. Add 1 teaspoon salt and two to three inches boiling water. ( Lemon juice, herbs, garlic powder or onion powder may be added, if desired.) Cover and boil gently 35 to 45 minutes or until base can be pierced easily with fork. ( Add a little more boiling water, if needed.) Turn artichokes upside down to drain. Cool completely; cover and refrigerate to chill. Makes 4 artichokes."

Looking at one, you would never guess it was good to eat. The origin of the artichoke is uncertain but it may come from North Africa. Artichokes were cultivated in Sicily during the Greek occupation and soon made their way to the Italian mainland to be enjoyed by the Romans. Italians still regularly eat artichoke but they remain unusual to many in the rest of the world."

Chicory grows in the US, Europe, Africa, Asia, and in many other areas of the world… and it’s very common in the south to add chicory to coffee. Chicory goes all the way back to medieval times when people in France and Holland would add chicory to their coffee for great flavor.

Photo © Molly Watson55 mins Prep: 35 mins, Cook: 20 mins Yield: Makes 4 servings (5)By Molly Watson Updated 11/25/17Share Pin Email This simple puree of artichoke hearts in broth with a bit of garlic and cream is based on one served at Duarte's Tavern in Pescadero, California—not too far up the coast from the artichoke-growing area around Watsonville and Castroville. I've lightened the amount of cream a bit (okay, a lot!) to bring out more artichoke flavor. You can make it a bit more elegant by adding a full cup of cream, if you like, since it is terribly delicious that way, too. Either way, if you like artichokes, it's one of the tastiest soups imaginable. Never cleaned an artichoke before? Check out How to Clean Artichoke Hearts for a few tips. Note: Avoid the cleaning of the artichokes, or make this out of artichoke season, by using a pound of frozen artichoke hearts, which will most accurately convey the fresh artichoke flavor. Well drained and rinsed canned artichoke hearts can also be used in a pinch, but they will bring a tinny flavor with them that isn't ideal."

How much stem you remove depends on the preparation you have planned for the final artichoke heart: For basic, steamed or stuffed artichoke hearts, cut close to the base so the artichoke can stand up on its own.

Texture is similar to boiled potato. I would describe the flavor as kind of mildly nutty, I guess. It really kind of takes on flavors that it is cooked with. I have had it cooked with lemon, with garlic, etc.. The flavor intensifies and becomes very slightly sweet if it is roasted. You eat them by scraping the meat off the widest part of the leaf (using your teeth). The outer leaves are tougher, so if you find that to be the case, skip them. When all of the leaves are gone and you get to the \"\"hairy\"\" part (called the \"\"choke\"\") at the center, then lift that off carefully or use a spoon and gently scoop between the choke and the \"\"heart\"\". The heart is the best part! Don't eat the choke."

"text": "\"Cannellini Beans [ PURCHASE INFO ]Cannellini Beans are white kidney beans, also known as “Italian white kidney beans†or “fasolia beans.†They are medium sized--about 1/2 inch long and kidney shaped, with a tough seed coat. This specific variety is very popular in Italian cuisine, appearing dishes such as minestrone, pasta e fagioli soup and the common stewed bean side dish with garlic and rosemary. This bean was originally cultivated in Argentina by Italian immigrants and was later taken back to Italy, where they are now grown commercially. Cannellini Beans are members of the larger family of legumes, plants used for their edible seeds and pods that boast a high nutrient density with low-maintenance production and storage. They contain high levels of protein, essential minerals and fiber while maintaining a low level of fats. Believed to have originated in Peru, beans were spread through trade throughout South and Central America, later being introduced to Europe in the 15th century by Spanish explorers. Known as a high-quality, inexpensive source of protein and nutrition, they have become diet staples in many cultures and are now widely produced in Asia, Europe and North America.

PHA actually consists of two closely related proteins, called leucoagglutinin ( PHA-L) and PHA-E. The letters E and L indicate these proteins agglutinate erythrocytes and leukocytes (red and white blood cells). Phytohaemagglutinin has carbohydrate-binding specificity for a complex oligosaccharide containing galactose, N -acetylglucosamine, and mannose. [ 2]It is found in the highest concentrations in uncooked red kidney beans and white kidney beans (also known as cannellini ), [3] and it is also found in lower quantities in many other types of green beans and other common beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris ), as well as broad beans ( Vicia faba) such as fava beans. [ 4] It has a number of physiological effects and is used in medical research. In high doses, it is a toxin. The lectin has a number of effects on cell metabolism; it induces mitosis, and affects the cell membrane in regard to transport and permeability to proteins. It agglutinates most mammalian red blood cell types. As a toxin, it can cause poisoning in monogastric animals, such as humans, through the consumption of raw or improperly prepared kidney beans. Measured in haemagglutinating units (hau), a raw red kidney bean may contain up to 70,000 hau."

A popular bean in Italy, the creamy white cannellini bean is fairly large, about the same size as a kidney bean. Because it maintains its shape well when cooked and has a mellow flavor, the cannellini bean is excellent in many dishes, and can be used interchangeably with other white beans in many recipes.

"text": "How to: Beans, Split Peas and Lentilsposted in Food, Vegetables and Beans by Kathy Maisterprevious | next Beans, split peas and lentils (often referred to as “pulses”) are the edible seeds of legume plants. They are a great low-fat source of protein and are high in fiber. This post covers how to cook dried and canned pulses, and provides links to some great recipes. Some beans go by several different names. For example the cannellini bean is also known as a white kidney bean and roman beans are also called cranberry beans, borlotti beans, shell beans, or Christmas beans. Many popular beans, like black beans, cannellini beans, red beans and chick peas can be bought in cans already cooked. The way that you cook dried beans is very different from the way you cook split peas and lentils – it’s all about soaking. Split peas and lentils do not require soaking. They take a short amount of time to cook (about 20 minutes to 1 hour depending on the recipe). Dried beans on the other hand, do require soaking for at least 4 hours. ("

There are a few differences, other than just size. Runner Beans are a perennial plant, whereas Green Beans are annuals. When the Runner Bean seed first starts to grow, the stem and the first set of leaves are the first thing to emerge from the ground. When a Green Bean seed starts to grow, the first thing to emerge from the ground is the two halves of the seed. Runner Bean vines twist clockwise, Green Bean vines twist counterclockwise. The main difference from a gardening point of view, though, is that with their showy flowers, Runner Beans double as an ornamental plant. Green Bean vines just put out small flowers; Runner Bean vines will put out inch long (2.5 cm) flowers, often a flashy orange colour, about 20 flowers to a stalk. Hummingbirds and bees love Runner Bean flowers. Runner Bean pods will be anywhere from 6 to 12 inches long (15 to 30 cm); inside, there will be between 6 and 10 beans, each about an inch long (2.5 cm.)"

"title": "https://www.reference.com/food/good-substitute-cannellini-beans-81dfdd381006e433\nWhat Is a Good Substitute for Cannellini Beans?",
"text": "Full Answer The Great Northern bean is usually the recommended substitute for cannellini beans. The great northern bean is smaller than cannellinis and resembles a white lima bean in shape; this bean also holds its shape well when cooked and has a similarly mild flavor. The great northern beans’ texture is a little grainier than cannellini beans' texture. Navy beans are another popular form of white beans, despite its misleading name. Navy beans are a good substitute for cannellinis, though they are noticeably smaller in size and cook more quickly. Use of these beans as a cannellini substitute is preferred for dishes that do not need the beans to retain their shape. Navy beans work well in purees, soups or stews and baked bean recipes. As a last resort, the red kidney bean can substitute. Cannellinis and red kidney beans are similar in size, shape and taste, though cannellinis have a creamier texture and different color. Native to Italy's Tuscany region, cannellini beans are also called fagioli."

"text": "Home Diet & Nutrition Cooking & Cookware Article Cooking With Legumes: Kidney Beans0 shares 1 min Shaped like the organ after which they are named, kidney beans are large, dark red legumes (“white kidney beans” are a close relative, properly known as cannellini beans). Descended from the “common bean” along with black and pinto beans, kidney beans both hold their shape and absorb flavors extremely well, making them a first choice for dishes with long simmering times, such as chilis, soups, stews and curries. In northern Indian cuisine, kidney beans, or “rajma,” are a staple, often served as a masala curry over rice. Kidney beans are also popular in the Creole cuisine of the American South, especially in New Orleans and the rest of southern Louisiana, where they are often enjoyed simply as “red beans and rice.” The dish is traditionally eaten on Mondays in order to use up ham bones left over from Sunday dinner (though with kidney beans’ robust flavor, they hardly need the addition of the meat). But kidney beans aren’t just delicious – like all other pulses, they are loaded with nutrition, especially in the form of fiber and protein, with just one cup of cooked kidneys respectively providing 45 and 31 percent of the Daily Value of each, respectively. The same amount of kidney beans also provides 42 percent of the Daily Value of manganese, a mineral essential for energy production and antioxidant action. Be aware that raw kidney beans contain a toxin called phytohemagglutinin, which is destroyed by boiling the beans for at least 10 minutes prior to slow cooking. Therefore, kidney beans cannot be enjoyed in their raw, sprouted form (as some other beans are). If you are going to slow cook them at a more moderate temperature please remember to boil them first for the required 10 minutes."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-great-northern-beans.htm\nWhat are Great Northern Beans?",
"text": "Great northern beans are a type of white bean that is very popular throughout North America. They typically have a delicate flavor and are somewhat small in size, making them ideal additions to soups, stews, and casseroles. A number of cooks will also prepare them on their own as a savory side dish. Though great northerns are their own independent type of legume, they share many characteristics with other white beans, like cannellini and navy beans, and can often be used interchangeably. Basic Characteristics Like most white beans, great northerns belong to the family Phaseolus vulgaris. They are distinguished primarily by their small size and uniform cream color, though the leaves and stalks of the plant also give some clues. Great northern beans are typically tall and spindly, with round flat leaves. They grow quite well in colder temperatures, and can withstand fluctuations in weather and warmth better than most other varieties. When it comes to taste, the beans are usually quite mild whether raw or cooked. They typically have a smooth texture that “melts” when it hits the mouth."

"text": "Borlotti Beans [ BUY BORLOTTI BEANS ]Borlotti beans: Borlotti beans, also known as cranberry beans or French horticultural beans, are off-white beans with red markings. When you can find them fresh they come in large beige and red pods with colors that resemble the dried beans. In the shell the borlotti's bright colored pods make a festive table accent. The shell is inedible, but the borlotti beans inside are a culinary treat. Nutty in flavor with a creamy texture, borlotti are popular in Italian and Portuguese cusine. In fact, many of the borlotti sold in Italy are cranberry beans imported from the U. S.. Dried Borlotti beans are more readily available than fresh and have a much longer shelf life. Fresh borlotti beans should be used within a week or so, but the dried variety will keep as long as other types of dried beans. Dried borlotti can be soaked overnight and the simmered under water or stock with vegetables and or meats. When cooked the beans will lose some of their bright markings and turn a light brown color. Their meaty, chestnut flavor make borlotti a wonderful main dish and a perfect side dish."

I live in the southern United States so what’s to complain about you might ask. Well, instead of snowy and cold as in my home state of Wisconsin, we have a rainy and bone-chilling damp cold with a bleak gray landscape. No, not the worst thing in the world and hallelujah for the NFL playoffs this month and how ’bout them Packers!Here’s a rustic and hearty cabbage soup to help get you and your crew through. Inspired by a visit a while back to my parent’s farmhouse in central Wisconsin while my mother was hospitalized, it’s comforting, soul-satisfying, bone-warming and was just what we all needed at the time. My family is Polish and because cabbage is a mainstay in Polish cooking, it seems there’s always a head of cabbage in my father’s house. My father is a hunter, fisherman, gardener and forest forager so the freezer has everything from venison Polish sausage to bluegills to wild blackberries. The root cellar is stocked with everything from potatoes to salsa to sauerkraut. Although cannellini beans (or white kidney beans) are used mainly in Italian cuisine, the Poles use them in Breton Beans or Fasolka po Bretonsku, a dish that originated in England but is very popular in Poland. Having traveled to Krakow, Poland a couple times, I was impressed by the variety of international cuisines one can enjoy there."

Related Articles1 What Do You Season Lentils With?2 How to Use Garbanzo Beans As a Meat Substitute3 Spices to Use in Red Beans4 French Lentil and Kale Soup Adding Herbs, Spices and Condiments to White Bean Soup Whether you make white bean soup with large cannellini or great Northern beans, or small navy or pea beans, you have a wide range of seasonings to choose from. Spices for a navy bean soup already filled with the flavor of ham hocks will need different spices than a lighter, French-style soup without any meat. No matter what kind of bean soup you choose, make sure to take a taste as you cook to ensure that the flavor is just right, and don't forget to add salt to bring out the flavor of all the other ingredients. Tips Mild-flavored white beans taste best combined with one or two pungent spices that contrast with the creamy sweetness of the beans. Soups With Meat White bean soups made with sausage, smoky bacon or flavorful chunks of ham need just one or two spices to give them an additional depth of flavor. Salt, pepper and either a few bay leaves or a small amount of dried oregano give the soup a classic profile without too many flavors competing with the meat. You might also choose to change the flavor profile with an unusual seasoning, such as adding a small amount of cayenne pepper, hot sauce, red pepper flakes or a tablespoon of canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce to enliven the soup even more. Tips Canned beans make the work of cooking white bean soup easy, because the beans are fully cooked to the right consistency without any effort on your part. Use the beans plus their liquid for extra flavor and texture, and simmer them along with your seasonings for 20 to 30 minutes so the beans absorb the flavors of the spices."

In botany the term legume has two meanings. Legume is a species of plant but the term also refers to any fruit that develops seeds lined up in a pod (most often the pod splits open down a seam on one side like “peas in a pod”). Legumes are also known as Pulses. Legumes are great sources of protein and fiber. I have written on this in many columns and sidebars on the Dr. Gourmet site.

There are three stages of bean development, based on the maturity of the bean that determines how the bean is used. The first stage is when the bean is immature and the bean (or seed) and the pod are both very young and tender. This is the stage when the bean and pod are both eaten, either raw or cooked, and they are referred to as fresh, baby or snap beans. During the second stage, the bean begins to mature. The pod is tough but the bean can be removed from the pod, just like peas, cooked for a short period of time and eaten. Beans at this stage are referred to as fresh-shelled beans. The third stage is the point at which the pod and bean have dried on the stalk and the bean moves freely within the enclosed pod. The bean is then taken out of the pod that is to be discarded, and the bean can then be stored for future use in a variety of food dishes. At this stage the bean is referred to as a shelled, dry shelled, or dried bean."

It’s usually found clinging and protruding from rocks, mountainsides, and out of cracks in walls and structures along the way. The caper bush is rarely cultivated but does add to the stability of weaker foundations and soil with its strong root formations. Capers can also be found growing in a number of other countries and islands along the Atlantic Ocean, Caspian Sea and Black Sea."

"text": "Gourmet Low Carb High Protein Weight Loss Meal Plans Written by Daisy Whitbread, MSc NThe following meal plans are designed for people who would like to lose weight and prefer a high protein, low carbohydrate approach. Although this is a low carbohydrate, high protein plan, some small servings of wholegrain carbohydrate foods have been included, as carbohydrates are needed by the body for optimum health and energy production. The plans are designed to provide you with balanced nutrition, including some carbohydrates, high levels of lean protein, and healthy fats. They also include plenty of fruits and vegetables, plus essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, essential fats, and fiber. Each day provides around 1500 calories, which is the amount required by an average woman looking to lose 1-2 lbs (0.5-1kg) per week, and is a healthy rate of weight loss. A steady rate of weight loss such as this is more likely to be maintained long-term than the faster weight loss promised by crash diets. For men who would like to follow the plan, the total daily calorie intake should be increased by approximately 500 calories. This can be achieved by adding extra snacks and/or doubling some of the portion sizes, as shown in the example below: Day 1: Breakfast1 extra egg = 741 extra slice of buttered rye toast - 102Snacks Extra 20 almonds = 139Double the size of Snack 2 = 157TOTAL = 472 calories You can also add snacks from other days of the plan if that works better for you. For optimum results, the plan should be followed in conjunction with regular exercise. Anyone exercising a lot should increase their calorie intake accordingly, in line with the guidance given above."

Before you get worried that I am getting all geeky here on you, let me assure you that this post will only talk about culinary systems (you didn't really think I was going to write about operating systems, did you?). After I came up with my little system of fin fish personalities about 5 years ago, cooking fish became incredibly simple. I could buy and cook any fin fish with confidence even if I've never heard its name before. The rule of err on the site of under-cooking and remove from heat when some translucency remains in the center always worked. Any fish I tried to cook was moist and succulent. Any fish, except...

It is commonly used in Oriental cooking. It is not a favored seasoning or enhancer in the United States as many people are allergic to it. It is an optional seasoning and can very easily be left out of recipes. MSG is the sodium salt of the amino acid glutamic acid and a form of glutamate. It is sold as a fine white crystal substance, similar in appearance to salt or sugar. It does not have a distinct taste of its own, and how it adds flavor to other foods is not fully understood. Many scientists believe that MSG stimulates glutamate receptors in the tongue to augment meat-like flavors. Additional information on MSG from FDA and Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) by U. S. Food and Drug Administration: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is used as a flavor enhancer in a variety of foods prepared at home, in restaurants, and by food processors.

But hey, that’s just me and I know plenty of people that really love them!So, in case you want to know what capers do taste like, I thought I would explore them some more to help you find the answer. You may happen to already love them, in which case I’ll also show you some ways that you can incorporate capers into your regular diet. Let’s find out more!Table of Contents What Are Capers? Let’s start with a little background!Capers are what you get when the plant, capparis spinosa, creates a bud, but the bud is picked before flowering. They’re picked when olive green and about the size of a pea. So, in essence, capers are the unripened buds of this plant but they’re referred to as berries. If they aren’t picked, they’ll blossom into a very pretty white (sometimes a blend of white and pink) flower with pink shoots. The caper’s history traces back more than 7500 years to modern day Iraq. In more recent times, however, some say capers originated on the Isle of Capri in Naples, Florida."

"text": "Overview of Urine Formation Urine is formed in three steps: filtration, reabsorption, and secretion. Learning Objectives Summarize the steps in urine formation Key Takeaways Key Points Filtration involves the transfer of soluble components, such as water and waste, from the blood into the glomerulus. Reabsorption involves the absorption of molecules, ions, and water that are necessary for the body to maintain homeostasis from the glomerular filtrate back into the blood. Secretion involves the transfer of hydrogen ions, creatinine, drugs, and urea from the blood into the collecting duct, and is primarily made of water. Blood and glucose are not normally found in urine. Key Termsurine: A liquid excrement consisting of water, salts, and urea, which is made in the kidneys then released through the urethra.glomerulus: A small, intertwined group of capillaries within nephrons of the kidney that filter the blood to make urine. Urine is a waste byproduct formed from excess water and metabolic waste molecules during the process of renal system filtration. The primary function of the renal system is to regulate blood volume and plasma osmolarity, and waste removal via urine is essentially a convenient way that the body performs many functions using one process. Urine formation occurs during three processes: Filtration Reabsorption Secretion Filtration During filtration, blood enters the afferent arteriole and flows into the glomerulus where filterable blood components, such as water and nitrogenous waste, will move towards the inside of the glomerulus, and nonfilterable components, such as cells and serum albumins, will exit via the efferent arteriole.

Reabsorption involves the absorption of molecules, ions, and water that are necessary for the body to maintain homeostasis from the glomerular filtrate back into the blood. Secretion involves the transfer of hydrogen ions, creatinine, drugs, and urea from the blood into the collecting duct, and is primarily made of water. Blood and glucose are not normally found in urine.

"text": "\"Heart Health High Blood Pressure How Your Circulatory System Works By Craig Weber, MDUpdated March 02, 2018Share Pin Email Print BSIP/UIG/Getty Images The circulatory system, also known as the cardiovascular system, is a simple loop which starts, and ends, with your heart. It is a closed system, meaning blood does not enter or leave the system during its journey from your heart to your body and back again. In such a system, a continuous flow of the same liquid can be pumped through the loop again and again. Blood is circulated throughout your body via your arterial system— arteries, arterioles, and capillaries —and returned to your heart via the venous system—veins and venules. Your blood is vital to your well-being and circulates nutrients including electrolytes, oxygen, carbon dioxide and amino acids throughout your body. Your heart is responsible for the majority of the circulatory system's function and is where the process begins. Circulation Begins in Your Heart The circulatory system begins in your right atrium, the upper right-hand chamber of your heart. As blood moves through your heart, it passes through each of the four chambers (upper right, lower right, upper left, lower left), takes a quick detour to the lungs to get rid of carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen, and ends up in the lower left-hand chamber, called the left ventricle. When it comes to circulating blood throughout your body, the left ventricle is the most important chamber in the heart. The left ventricle is the largest of the four chambers and is responsible for generating the force necessary to propel your blood out of your aorta, the first artery your blood enters as it leaves your heart."

That is its job, a transportation system. If you are running, it moves oxygen (O 2) down to your legs, and moves lactic acid, that chemical that gives your muscles that burning sensation when worked hard, out of your legs. It moves heat from your body core to your toes, fingers, and head on a cold day. And it also distributes nutrients from your meals throughout your body, feeding your bones, nerves, organs, and tissues in your body. The pump the drives the cardiovascular system is your heart. The hearts muscles, the among most powerful in your body, drives blood down your trunk, your legs, in and out of your arms, throughout every organ in your body. But your heart does not drive blood throughout your body in a circle, but in a more of a figure-8 pattern. The heart pumps blood along two pathways in your body, the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit. In the pulmonary circuit, the heart pumps blood to the lungs, then back to the heart."

Vessel networks deliver blood to all tissues in a directed and regulated manner. Arteries and veins are composed of three tissue layers. The thick outermost layer of a vessel (tunica adventitia or tunica externa ) is made of connective tissue. The middle layer ( tunica media ) is thicker and contains more contractile tissue in arteries than in veins. It consists of circularly arranged elastic fibers, connective tissue, and smooth muscle cells. The inner layer ( tunica intima ) is the thinnest layer, comprised of a single layer of endothelium supported by a subendothelial layer. Capillaries consist of a single layer of endothelium and associated connective tissue.

The Heart Located slightly to the left of the middle of your chest, the heart is made of strong muscle tissue and is protected by your rib cage. Even though it is no larger than the size of your fist, it plays a vitally important role in your body. It consists of four hollow chambers – two ventricles and two atria. All four chambers work quite like pumps and push blood throughout your body. The blood that moves towards the heart enters it through the atria and then goes out to your body through the ventricles.

As A Symbol The Knot is a very ancient Symbol which appears in the writings, legends, mythology and lore of nearly all cultures. As a Symbol, the Knot signifies complexity, confusion, completion, bindings, vows, and hidden secrets. And although the Knot is an ancient Symbol, we acknowledge it often through a number of our cultural Metaphors. We use the term \"\"a knotty problem\"\" when referring to a complex, baffling, or intricate, obstacle or dilemma. \"\" Tying the knot\"\" refers to the marriage of a man and woman who bind themselves to each other in the Hope of achieving Oneness with each other through their voluntary Union. To \"\"tie up loose ends\"\" infers the completion of a project or agreement in which we finalize the small details of a task, solution or alliance. In addition to the Knot being a Symbol and a Metaphor of myth and legend, it is also very evident in our everyday language, behavior, and customs. As a Symbol for binding, the Knot represents the Promises and vows we make. It is also an allusion to the Honorable Person whose \"\"word is as good as their bond\"\"."

At dawn of the new era, the border projections of the zodiacal constellations on the ecliptic almost coincided with the borders of the corresponding signs. So the names of the signs appeared. Nowadays, there is no correspondence between the constellational coordinates and the zodiac signs. To know what is my sign, it is necessary to determine in what zodiacal sign the Sun was the day when you were born. It means that to know what is my zodiac sign, you should find out in what sign zone the Sun was, not in what constellation. However, if you were born at the conjunction of two zodiac signs, it is more difficult to determine what is my sign. The fact is that the Sun passes from one sign into another at various times in different years. If you were born at the conjunction of two signs, then, to find out what is my sign, you must take into account not only the month and the day, but also the year of your birth."

"text": "STYLE & BEAUTY 11/19/2013 12:54 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 201711 Places To Buy Yoga Gear That Aren’t Lululemon Love it or hate it, yoga is one exercise trend that is here to stay. But while many people are fanatical about the low-impact workout, fewer are happy about the price tag that comes with it. Classes alone can cost a small fortune, and when you factor in all the requisite gear, you had better start saving. That’s especially true if you shop at the likes of Lululemon. But we’re of the belief that there’s no need to spend upwards of $100 on yoga pants (that may or may not end up being see-through ). There are loads of great spots to stock up on yoga pants — and you most likely already frequent a few of them. Forever21 offers insanely cheap spandex shorts, while Nike carries well-made, supportive bras. To help you find some new yoga stores, we’ve rounded up 11 of our our favorite Lululemon alternatives.

Her pieces are not only fashion-forward but also very easy to move in."

Level Contributor79 posts5 reviews Save Topic Rome/Florence/Venice in May - Weather and Clothing Feb 22, 2011, 7:43 PMBuon giorno!We're planning our first trip to Italy for the last two weeks in May. We'll be spending 4 days in Rome, 4 days in Florence and 3 in Venice. I've searched the forums but am looking for some updated information and advice regarding weather and clothing. We've travelled to Paris a few times, so I'm comfortable knowing what to pack for that locale, and am wondering if the same types of items will work for these cities in Italy. I know: layers. :-) But beyond that I'm wondering: How warm is it really likely to get the second half of May? ( weather / tourism sites say mid 70's F, but are heat waves unheard of that time of year?) Are sandals (stylish walking sandals) and capri pants considered too casual for women on warmer days? Sleeveless tops? Are jeans still commonly worn? A travel wardrobe of predominantly dark neutrals still OK for late May?"

"text": "How to Wear Capri Pants and Cropped Trousers Many of you have written to ask, Are Capris still in Style? The answer is, Yes, they absolutely are. Capris are a great type of casual fashion for women over 40, but there’s a few styling tips you’ll need to know to get just the right pair. Guest Contributor, Image Consultant Imogen Lamport has these Top Tips for How to Wear Capri Pants and Cropped Trousers. I mogen: Capris and cropped pants are one of the hardest garments to get right in your wardrobe. As they are present they are everywhere in stores, and are one of the current big fashion trends, so they can easily become frumpy and make you look lumpy and stumpy. A short pant can make your legs look shorter, yet so many women love to wear them, particularly in the warmer months. So how can you wear capris and look long, lean and stylish? 1. Keep them slim Wide leg openings make your legs look shorter, so keep them slim for a leg lengthening effect."

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Unisex Clothing, Shoes & Accs Unisex Adult Clothing Jeans, Pants & Shorts How Long Should My Jeans Be?e Bay Like March 3, 2016Shopping for jeans seems to be an infuriatingly easy task for men: As long as they know their waist and inseam measurements, they can walk into just about any clothing store, pull a pair of jeans off the rack or shelf, and get a decent fit. Women's bodies are a bit more complicated, so every gal has a different shape and requires a different cut. One woman may be larger or smaller in the hips, rear, waist, abdomen, or thighs than the next woman. This makes it impossible for designers to cut a pair of jeans that suits all body types. Women must find a few brands of jeans that suit their body type and try to stick with them. As if the fit issue is not enough, choosing the leg length poses an additional challenge. Many women try to wear the same pants with high heels and flip-flops, which is probably not a good move stylewise and is certainly not a good move lengthwise. Pants and jeans must be hemmed to different lengths to accommodate the heel heights of different kinds of shoes. Furthermore, the shape of the leg (wide or narrow) also affects the appropriateness of the length. Both of these factors are important for women to consider, as well as how to tell if a pair of jeans is too long or short when trying them on."

"text": "Capri Pants: In or Out? Posted on April 20, 2015 | 34 Comments »On Friday, I wrote a fashion post about alternatives to shorts, for ladies who don’t care to wear shorts in the summertime and were looking for other casual alternatives. I mentioned in that post that I no longer wear capri pants, which created some curiosity in the comments section. Several of you asked why I no longer wear capris and if they are out of style. Personally, I am not a fan of capris — at least, capris as I think of them — where the hemline falls somewhere in the mid-calf region. Although I definitely participated in the trend during its heyday, I never thought they were particularly flattering, and lately I have started to feel like they look dated. These days I opt for cropped pants or boyfriend jeans, or I just wear a skirt or shorts. When I want the look of a cropped pant, I like to cuff my regular jeans like this. But I know that a lot of women who live in warm climates swear that capri pants are a “must” for surviving the summer heat. I was curious about the current party line regarding capri pants, so I did a quick Google search."

There are two towns on the island: Capri and Anacapri. Capri has the Piazzetta at its center, while Anacapri is at a higher elevation on the slopes of Mount Solaro. The third village is Marina Grande, where the port is located. Is it better to stay in the town of Capri or Anacapri? That depends upon what you are looking for during your stay on Capri."

Vacations in Capri are popular at almost any time of the year, particularly during the warmer months. Capri features a typical Mediterranean climate with long, hot summers and short, mild winters. Capri however, has much more to offer than beautiful beaches and relaxed coastal towns so if you feel the need to tear yourself away from the magnificent beaches, the island offers sights of incredible Roman ruins and many other ancient highlights. The luxury of attractions and sights available in Capri makes this island a favourable year round holiday destination. Spring Similar to many other resorts located in the Mediterranean, spring is an ideal time to visit as the summer crowds have not yet developed and daytime temperatures are most enjoyable. March and April see climates averaging at a pleasant 15ºC while May features highs of 22ºC or higher. The months during spring will provide assured sunshine as rainfall levels start to decrease throughout April to May. The springtime in Capri see many visitors enjoying the great beaches over an Easter break. Summer Because of the idyllic scenery, beautiful beaches and satisfying climates, many tourists choose to holiday to Capri throughout the summer months. July and August will commonly see high temperatures of 28 ºC and an average of ten hours of warm sunlight each day."

"text": "How to wear capris and cropped pants – an extensive guide!by Sylvia An update to my popular article on cropped pants and capris as they are still very much on trend!Capris and cropped pants are notoriously hard to wear and they can be unflattering on many women. Yet shops are currently full of these cropped pants and the trend is continuing into 2017. Should you wear them anyway? And if yes, how can you wear capris? Why can capris be unflattering? Capris are cropped pants that stop above the ankle but usually well below the knee. They are different from cropped pants like bermudas which stop above the calf and are less challenging to wear. Why can capris be unflattering: First and foremost they shorten your legs! For almost all women a silhouette with a longer leg line is more flattering. They can highlight chunky calfs So why are they so on trend right now?"

S. 16 March] 1868 – 18 June 1936), primarily known as Maxim ( Maksim) Gorky ( / ˈ ɡ ɔːr k i /; [2] Russian: Макси́м Го́рький ), was a Russian and Soviet writer, a founder of the socialist realism literary method and a political activist. [ 3] He was also a five-time nominee for the Nobel Prize in Literature. [ 4] Around fifteen years before success as a writer, he frequently changed jobs and roamed across the Russian Empire; these experiences would later influence his writing. Gorky's most famous works were The Lower Depths (1902), Twenty-six Men and a Girl, The Song of the Stormy Petrel, My Childhood, The Mother, Summerfolk and Children of the Sun. He had an association with fellow Russian writers Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov; Gorky would later mention them in his memoirs. Gorky was active with the emerging Marxist social-democratic movement. He publicly opposed the Tsarist regime, and for a time closely associated himself with Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov 's Bolshevik wing of the party, but later became a bitter critic of Lenin as an overly ambitious, cruel and power-hungry potentate who brooked no challenge to his authority. For a significant part of his life, he was exiled from Russia and later the Soviet Union. In 1932, he returned to USSR on Joseph Stalin 's personal invitation and died there in June 1936."

Modern usage from the 1960s came to refer to elastic close-fitting garments worn over the legs typically by women, such as leg warmers or tights. Usage from the 18th century refers to men's wear, usually made of cloth or leather that is wrapped around the leg down to the ankle. [ 1] In the 19th century leggings usually referred to infants' leg clothing that were matched with a jacket, as well as leg-wrappings made of leather or wool and worn by soldiers and trappers. [ 2] Leggings prominently returned to women's fashion in the 1960s, drawing from the form-fitting clothing of dancers. With the widespread adoption of the synthetic fibre Lycra and the rise in popularity of aerobics, leggings came to further prominence in the 1970s and '80s, and eventually made their way into streetwear.

Hi Doctors, I am undergoing root canal operation for two of my teeth's since yesterday. Once i complete that, doctor is telling that i will not be having pain anymore. But for safety purpose, he is asking me to put a cap (duplicate teeth) over that which is costing around Rs.3800 INR for one teeth and Rs.2000 INR for root canal for one teeth. Is it necessary to put a cap over the teeth after root canal ? is the duplicate teeth this much expensive ? somebody is telling that it is not necessary to put a cap after root canal. Kindly suggest me what should i do please. Regards, Prasath#66076 04 Mar 2011 03:48Qays Points: 2 ( Rs 1)Hi As you doctor advice you must put a cover to save the root to avoid further damage. The root canal treatment is just a temporary treatment to strengthen that root."

Chipped or Cracked Tooth Causes Chipped Tooth Treatments Cracked Tooth Treatments Cracked Tooth Syndrome Is it a Chipped or Cracked Tooth? Chipped Tooth: If you have a chipped tooth, you might not feel any tooth pain unless the chip is large enough to expose the nerves in the inner layer of the tooth. If a chipped tooth exposes the nerves inside a tooth, you might notice increased tooth sensitivity and pain when chewing or when the chipped tooth is exposed to very hot or very cold food and beverages. A chip on one of the pointed chewing surfaces of the back teeth is called a broken cusp. This type of chipped tooth is rarely painful, but it should be examined by a dental professional. You might need a crown or a dental onlay to restore the shape of the tooth and prevent further damage or decay. Cracked Tooth: A cracked tooth might affect only the tooth enamel, or it might affect the entire tooth down to the root. You might only notice pain from a cracked tooth when chewing, or when the temperature in your mouth changes as you eat something hot or cold. But it is important to see a dental professional as soon as possible after you notice a cracked tooth, so it can be evaluated and treated if necessary."

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-pulp-capping.htm\nWhat Is Pulp Capping?",
"text": "Pulp capping is a process used by dentists and orthodontists while attempting to restore a seriously decayed tooth, when the decay has almost reached the tooth’s soft pulp. The capping process protects the nerve endings in the damaged tooth from further irritation, allowing a person to chew food without discomfort. A pulp cap is also designed to help seal off the damaged tooth from future infection that would otherwise threaten the pulp, preventing a person from later having to undergo a root canal treatment to remove the infected tooth pulp. The structure of a pulp capping consists of two parts. The first layer of the pulp cap is a filling piece, like what is used normally on a tooth’s cavity, but only deeper to compensate for the extensive decay in the tooth. A layer of medicated dental cement sits between the deep filling and the rest of the tooth, holding the filing in place and sealing off the damage. Normally, the dentist or orthodontist does not remove all of the tooth decay as part of a pulp capping procedure. Instead, the medicated cement helps create a barrier between the infection and the pulp. After the tooth has had time to heal, the dentist determines through an X-ray examine if the pulp indeed has healed. If so, the dentist removes the filling and cement, and then extracts the remaining tooth decay previously left behind."

Pain, tenderness and swelling will gradually reduce until it is complete gone in a 2-3 days. If you have some Magnesium Chloride just before bed, you should notice your abscess has greatly improved by the morning (instead of worse as usually happens). But as the day progresses you will notice it start to become tender again. I believe the reason this happens is because your magnesium levels are still very low and you need to take some more in the morning, and again at lunch time if you feel it necessary, to get your levels up to a satisfactory level. I am convinced by my own experimentation that both of these conditions are the result of a nutritional deficiency. One being Magnesium deficiency and the other being a deficiency of some or several nutrients in a Multivitamin. I'm yet to nail down exactly which nutrient/s cause gum disease but I know that it's not Vitamin C (well not solely) because I have tried High dose Vitamin C and it didn't work. My gum disease was confirmed by an xray when I went to the dentist with a suspected tooth abscess. The infection was between the roots in the gum and had not yet reached the tooth."

Yes, especially after a root canal on a molar, root canals remove important structure of a tooth and that may cause the tooth to break and will then have to be pulled Hawkeye DJ 1,437 Contributions Do you need a crown after a root canal? A crown is typically recommended after a root canal because the tooth will tend to become very brittle and may fracture easily. A crown can prevent this."

"text": "\"Treatment of Teeth with Vital Pulp The following treatments are prescribed for teeth with vital pulp: Pulp capping Direct pulp capping Partial pulpotomy Pulpotomy Pulpectomy Pulp capping Pulp capping is traditionally divided into two different procedures: Indirect pulp capping and direct pulp capping. Indirect pulp capping is a procedure in which the most pulpal part of the carious dentin in a deep cavity is not removed. A temporary filling is placed and the cavity is reopened after some months and the remaining carious dentin is then excavated. The goal for this treatment is to give the pulp a chance to form more dentin beneath the carious dentin so that a pulp exposure can be avoided. This kind of treatment is mainly used in young teeth. Indirect pulp capping is a temporary procedure and it is not permitted to leave carious dentin under a permanent restoration. Back to top Direct pulp capping This treatment is indicated when a pulp, without inflammation, has been exposed. This means that this kind of treatment cannot be used after a carious exposure of a pulp. The prognosis for capping an inflamed pulp is very poor and therefore performing this treatment after a pulp exposure in a tooth with carious dentin is not justified. Pulp capping must be carried out under aseptic conditions, using rubber dam."

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

One reason can be deficiency of calcium in body which mostly people in middle ages have especially women because they loose lots of calcium after they turn into mother.

The infection could also permeate to the jaw and cause considerable pain and discomfort. Most of the time dental abscesses occur due to poor oral hygiene and severely decayed teeth. However, they are also known to occur in people who suffer from autoimmune disorders. Bacteria from the gums can enter the jaw, the cheek, beneath the tongue and other parts of the oral cavity to cause infection. Pus begins to form and the area becomes painful ad inflamed. If it is not treated, it can become worse and may require surgical intervention to drain the pus. You can treat a tooth abscess without having to resort to surgery by some ways.

What he discovered profoundly changed his life, and led him to write a book about his findings called, The Toxic Tooth: How a Root Canal Could Be Making You Sick, which I think is among the best available on this subject. Dr. Kulacz began practicing dentistry in Brewster, New York.

In order to understand this, you must first understand the anatomy of a tooth. The most common causes of pulp death are physical trauma to the tooth, a cracked tooth, or a deep cavity. The upper third of the tooth that is visible in the mouth is referred to as the crown, while the part of the tooth that is embedded in the bone is known as the root. All teeth are composed of three layers. Enamel is the outside covering of the crown, and cementum is the outside covering of the root. Both of these layers are calcified and hard. Found directly under these layers is the dentin."

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."

There are four major classes of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), and each is an important component of the cell and performs a wide array of functions. Combined, these molecules make up the majority of a cell’s mass. Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning that they contain carbon. In addition, they may contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and additional minor elements. Carbon It is often said that life is “carbon-based.” This means that carbon atoms, bonded to other carbon atoms or other elements, form the fundamental components of many, if not most, of the molecules found uniquely in living things. Other elements play important roles in biological molecules, but carbon certainly qualifies as the “foundation” element for molecules in living things."

Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides. They only carry genetic information about you like DNA. Although, carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins are all chemical energy. Carbohydrates are commonly broken down into ATP, or Adenosine Triphosphate which is a source of energy in a cell that is stored in the mitochondrion of a eukaryotic cell. Fats store a lot of energy and Proteins are the building blocks of living things. They are less likely to break down ATP.

These molecules are often called macromolecules because they may be very large, containing thousands of carbon and hydrogen atoms and because they are typically composed of many smaller molecules bonded together."

The males with their bright red plumage and distinctive crest are one of the most easily identified birds. The females are even easy with reddish feather tones and the same distinctive crest. The Northern Cardinal got its name from the bright red robes that Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church wear. They are the northern most cardinal species which is how they became the Northern Cardinal. The Northern Cardinal is also the North Carolina state bird, and a native species to North Carolina. Northern Cardinals are considered to be generalists. They do well in many different types of habitats including the suburban back yard, and eat many different types of foods. Their populations tend to thrive when other more specialized species fail. It is rare to go outside and not hear or see a the bright red flash of a Northern Cardinal."

"text": "Dan Pancamo /Flickr/Used With Permission Beautiful in every season and with stunning songs to match their stunning plumage, northern cardinals are some of the most highly desirable backyard birds in North America. Fortunately for both novice and experienced birders, anyone can attract cardinals if they have the right feeders, bird baths, and nesting areas. Why We Love Cardinals With their brilliant red plumage, northern cardinals are easy to see and recognize, and even the more subdued females have lovely red highlights in their fawn-colored feathers. Because these birds do not typically migrate, they can be welcome guests in yards throughout the year. Cardinals are often stunning decorations in otherwise bare winter trees and bushes, since these birds keep their brilliant color year-round. Both male and female cardinals sing varied songs, adding a beautiful voice to their beautiful appearance, and giving birders one more reason to want to attract cardinals. How to Attract Northern Cardinals The basics of attracting birds apply to attracting cardinals: yards and gardens that provide the proper food, water, shelter, and nesting sites will be favored habitats for these birds. Food: The northern cardinal's strong, thick bill is perfect for large seeds, and black oil sunflower seeds and safflower seeds are two of their favorites. Other foods cardinals prefer include cracked corn, peanut pieces, fresh berries, apple chunks, and small pieces, crumbles, or shreds of suet. These foods should be offered in large, wide feeders with plenty of space for birds to perch, since small tube feeders are unsuitable for cardinals unless they have a large tray at the bottom."

I'm not even sure that they kept pets in the same way that we do today. Wealthier people did, however, keep dogs for hunting and bear-baiting, as well as falcons and hawks for hunting. You might try looking at Reeves Compton, \"\"Pleasures and Pastimes in Later Medieval England\"\" (Sutton Publishing, 1995). That is the only book that I know of that addresses pets and pet-keeping in or near the Tudor period. February 06, 2007 7:51 PMSara said... Yes, the upper class had dogs sometimes. Women had little lap dogs. They of course had horses to get around,although I don't know if they really considered it a \"\"pet\"\". Also, I think they may have had some type of songbird, besides falcolns and hawks, as a pet, and I think I remember reading somewhere that a few people even had monkeys, although if they did I would imagine it was very few people.

This hobby offers one an opportunity to appreciate, delight, and connect to the natural world. With its brilliant red feathers, head crest, black throat and face mask, the male northern cardinal is considered to be the most popular of all songbirds. The female is light brown to pale yellow with reddish tinted wings, tail and head crest. Cardinals live mainly in the eastern United States, from Canada all the way to the Gulf States. Cardinals prefer to be fed from bird feeders that are about 4-6 feet high. They prefer the steadier, stationary feeders rather than hanging feeders. Cardinals also enjoy ground feeding. The best wild bird food to provide for cardinal include black oil sunflower, buckwheat, black and gray stripe sunflower, and safflower seeds. Cardinals usually are the first birds to feed in the morning and the last to feed at night."

Booth, in Fowler's Zoo and Wild Animal Medicine, Volume 8, 2015Biology The order Caprimulgiformes ( nightjarsand allies) comprises five families and 120 species of large-eyed, wide-mouthed, superbly camouflaged birds. Family Podargidae (frogmouths), Family Aegothelidae (owlet- nightjars ), and Family Caprimulgidae ( nightjars and nighthawks) are predominantly from Australasia. The Europeannightjar ( Caprimulgus europaeus) is migratory between Europe and Africa. Family Steatornithidae (oilbirds) and Family Nyctibiidae (potoos) are from South America. Despite their superficially similar external appearances, taxonomists argue that Caprimulgiformes birds differ distinctly in many anatomic features. Strong evidence suggests sister taxa status between Aegothelidae (owlet nightjars) and the diurnal Apodiformes (swifts and hummingbirds) and that perhaps all six families belong to a clade with a shared common ancestor. 20 Caprimulgiformes species also share morphologic affinities with Strigiformes (owls). 9Most birds in this order are nocturnal and insectivorous and live in bonded pairs during the breeding season, but the oilbirds set themselves apart by living in colonies in caves by day and feeding on fruit by night. The tawny frogmouth ( Podargus strigoides) will be the main focus of this chapter because among the members of this order, it is the most commonly maintained one in captivity, with 273 specimens in 92 institutions worldwide (International Species Information System [ISIS], 2012). Read full chapter Deception: Competition by Misleading Behavior R. W. Byrne, in Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior, 2010The natural world is full of wonderful examples of deception: a nightjar, safely camouflaged as dead leaves on the forest floor; a praying mantis, looking like flower petals, and waiting for a passing insect to land on the flower; an Ophrys orchid, emitting chemicals that mimic pheromones of a particular species of insect that its flower loosely resembles, pollinated by the insect's vain attempts at copulation; caterpillars, counter shaded to balance the light-dark effect of sunlight overhead and thus look flat, just like the leaves on and among which they live; hoverflies, dramatically patterned to look like stinging wasps, deceiving predators into leaving them alone."

The females appear much more brown in color, but have some red areas and also have the black “mask” on their faces. Both male and female bills are colored a reddish orange. Habitat/Diet Northern Cardinals live primarily on forest edges and hedges in populated neighborhoods since they often feed from the seeds found in human bird feeders. They tend to settle in dense brush. They are found commonly throughout eastern and central North America but are also spreading to other areas such as the west coast.

They are found throughout eastern and central North America from southern Canada into parts of Mexico and Central America. They have also been introduced to California, Hawaii and Bermuda.

That was not always the case, however. Cardinals prefer living in shrubs and thickets, along the edges where woodlands meet fields and Ohio was 95% forested when Europeans began to arrive in the late 17th century. As forests were cleared for development, the habitat became more suitable for cardinals, and by the late 1800s, cardinals could be found throughout the state. Six other states also have the cardinal as their state bird: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. APPEARANCE: The northern cardinal, a mid-sized songbird, generally has a body length of 7.9 to 9.3 inches, has a wingspan ranging from 9.8 to 12.2 inches, and weighs between 1.19 and 2.29 ounces, with an average weight of 1.58 ounces. The adult male is a brilliant crimson red color with a black face mask over the eyes, extending to the upper chest with the red becoming duller and darker on the back and wings.

One cardinal in particular I've had from a hatch ling all the way up until now in captivity, due to a wing injury that doesn't permit her to fend for herself in the wild. She is 10, and featherless in her old age but when she was younger she was a beauty. In the wild, I've read the expected length of life for a Cardinal (and most songbirds) only live 2-3 years. In captivity, with the right balance in nutrition and exercise I'd expect anywhere from 8-12 years.

Some, such as ducklings, leave the nest within 2 days. Eagles, on the other hand, take 2 to 3 months to mature enough to fly and remain near their home nests for several weeks afterward. Continue Reading Keep Learning When Do Baby Birds Leave the Nest? What Is the Life Cycle of the Macaw? How Do You Nurse a Baby Bird? Full Answer Ducklings are examples of precocial birds, which are birds that have open eyes and coats of feathers or down when hatched. These birds have the mobility to leave the nest soon after birth; in fact, one group of birds called megapodes is so well developed at hatching that hatchlings can fly almost immediately. Eagles are examples of altricial birds, which are birds born in a less developed state that must be cared for by their parents."

"text": "Once you have gained the basics of wildlife gardening, it’s easy to attract beautiful birds to your garden. All types of wildlife are in search of three primary things: food, water and shelter. Each of these requirements can be acquired through the proper flowers and plants. Gardeners who create a diversified landscape can see a large rise in the number of bird species seen throughout the year. Bird gardens can also add beauty to the landscape and a place for bird watchers to observe and learn. Gardening for Specific Birds Almost every backyard bird watcher has one species which is their favorite to spot, but refuses to visit their garden. There are several ways to attract specific species of bird to your backyard. Rare birds are more eye-catching and often most colorful, unusual and lyrical. Some desirable backyard bird species include: American Goldfinch Black-Capped Chickadee Eastern Bluebird Gray Catbird Northern Cardinal Rose-Breasted Grosbeak Scarlet Tanager Tree Swallow White-Breasted Nuthatch Some of these species of birds are easy to attract while others are a challenge. To encourage arrival of your specific bird, first check the natural habitat of that species."

"text": "\"Care Ethics The moral theory known as “ the ethics of care” implies that there is moral significance in the fundamental elements of relationships and dependencies in human life. Normatively, care ethics seeks to maintain relationships by contextualizing and promoting the well-being of care-givers and care-receivers in a network of social relations. Most often defined as a practice or virtue rather than a theory as such, \"\"care\"\" involves maintaining the world of, and meeting the needs of, ourself and others. It builds on the motivation to care for those who are dependent and vulnerable, and it is inspired by both memories of being cared for and the idealizations of self. Following in the sentimentalist tradition of moral theory, care ethics affirms the importance of caring motivation, emotion and the body in moral deliberation, as well as reasoning from particulars. One of the original works of care ethics was Milton Mayeroff’s short book, On Caring, but the emergence of care ethics as a distinct moral theory is most often attributed to the works of psychologist Carol Gilligan and philosopher Nel Noddings in the mid-1980s. Both charged traditional moral approaches with male bias, and asserted the “voice of care” as a legitimate alternative to the “justice perspective” of liberal human rights theory. Annette Baier, Virginia Held, Eva Feder Kittay, Sara Ruddick, and Joan Tronto are some of the most influential among many subsequent contributors to care ethics. Typically contrasted with deontological/Kantian and consequentialist/utilitarian ethics, care ethics is found to have affinities with moral perspectives such as African ethics, Confucian ethics, and others. Critics fault care ethics with being a kind of slave morality, and as having serious shortcomings including essentialism, parochialism, and ambiguity."

Along with his teacher Plato, Aristotle is generally regarded as one of the most influential ancient thinkers in a number of philosophical fields, including political theory. Aristotle was born in Stagira in northern Greece, and his father was a court physician to the king of Macedon. As a young man he studied in Plato's Academy in Athens. After Plato's death he left Athens to conduct philosophical and biological research in Asia Minor and Lesbos, and he was then invited by King Philip II of Macedon to tutor his young son, Alexander the Great. Soon after Alexander succeeded his father, consolidated the conquest of the Greek city-states, and launched the invasion of the Persian Empire. Aristotle returned as a resident alien to Athens, and was a close friend of Antipater, the Macedonian viceroy. At this time (335–323 BCE) he wrote, or at least worked on, some of his major treatises, including the Politics. When Alexander died suddenly, Aristotle had to flee from Athens because of his Macedonian connections, and he died soon after. Aristotle's life seems to have influenced his political thought in various ways: his interest in biology seems to be expressed in the naturalism of his politics; his interest in comparative politics and his sympathies for democracy as well as monarchy may have been encouraged by his travels and experience of diverse political systems; he criticizes harshly, while borrowing extensively, from Plato's Republic, Statesman, and Laws; and his own Politics is intended to guide rulers and statesmen, reflecting the high political circles in which he moved.1."

Heavily influenced by the work of Lauren Berlant, Leo Bersani, Judith Butler, Lee Edelman, Jack Halberstam, [1] and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, queer theory builds both upon feminist challenges to the idea that gender is part of the essential self and upon gay / lesbian studies' close examination of the socially constructed nature of sexual acts and identities. Whereas gay/lesbian studies focused its inquiries into natural and unnatural behaviour with respect to homosexual behaviour, queer theory expands its focus to encompass any kind of sexual activity or identity that falls into normative and deviant categories."

Introduction In recent years, the term \"\"family values\"\" has become a rallying cry against the increase in nontraditional families in this country. Much of the recent public discourse about women who bear children outside of marriage seems to reflect an underlying assumption that appropriate values are something these women simply do not have. An alleged decline in values, often represented in the media by families headed by single mothers, and especially black single mothers, has been blamed for a myriad of social problems, including unemployment, poor health, school drop-out rates and an increase in juvenile crime. 2 Since the blame for these problems has been placed on \"\"the breakdown of the traditional family,\"\" it is not surprising that many people have concluded that the logical solution to the problem is the reunification of the traditional family structure. 3 It is assumed that this will return the country to an earlier era, the \"\"good old days,\"\" in which values were presumably different and better. Consistent with such thinking, recent years have seen an increase in governmental programs and policy proposals at both the local and national levels aimed at bolstering the traditional family structure, or otherwise encouraging what are presumed to be \"\"family values.\"\" 4As part of this symposium on \"\"Ethics, Public Policy and the Future of the Family,\"\" this article will explore the role of race in the current family values rhetoric. The premise of this article is that attitudes toward the structure, value and function of families do not exist in a vacuum but are a reflection of context, perspective, and power. Race plays a role in each of these factors. Because the role of black mothers is central to any discussion of public policy and the black family, this article also analyzes the intersection of racism and sexism in the current rhetoric."

[ 1]The term \"\"difference feminism\"\" developed during the \"\"equality-versus-difference debate\"\" in American feminism in the 1980s and 1990s, [2] but subsequently fell out of favor and use. In the 1990s feminists addressed the binary logic of \"\"difference\"\" versus \"\"equality\"\" and moved on from it, notably with postmodern and/or deconstructionist approaches that either dismantled or did not depend on that dichotomy. [ 2] [3] [4]Difference feminism did not require a commitment to essentialism. Most strains of difference feminism did not argue that there was a biological, inherent, ahistorical, or otherwise \"\"essential\"\" link between womanhood and traditionally feminine values, habits of mind (often called \"\"ways of knowing\"\" [5] ), or personality traits. [ 6] These feminists simply sought to recognize that, in the present, women and men are significantly different and to explore the devalued \"\"feminine\"\" characteristics. [ 7]Some strains of difference feminism, for example Mary Daly 's, argue not just that women and men were different, and had different values or different ways of knowing, but that women and their values were superior to men's.

Difference feminism, although it still aimed at equality between men and women, emphasized the differences between men and women and argued that identicality or sameness are not necessary in order for men and women, and masculine and feminine values, to be treated equally.

Hegel David Hume Arthur Schopenhauer Baruch Spinoza African Spir Johannes Tetens Related topics Schopenhauer's criticism German idealism Neo-Kantianismv t e Kantian ethics refers to a deontological ethical theory ascribed to the German philosopher Immanuel Kant. The theory, developed as a result of Enlightenment rationalism, is based on the view that the only intrinsically good thing is a good will; an action can only be good if its maxim – the principle behind it – is duty to the moral law. Central to Kant's construction of the moral law is the categorical imperative, which acts on all people, regardless of their interests or desires. Kant formulated the categorical imperative in various ways. His principle of universalizability requires that, for an action to be permissible, it must be possible to apply it to all people without a contradiction occurring. If a contradiction occurs the act violates Aristotle's \"\"Non-contradiction\"\" concept which states that just actions cannot lead to contradictions [1]. Kant's formulation of humanity, the second section of the Categorical Imperative, states that as an end in itself humans are required never to treat others merely as a means to an end, but always, additionally, as ends in themselves [2]. The formulation of autonomy concludes that rational agents are bound to the moral law by their own will, while Kant's concept of the Kingdom of Ends requires that people act as if the principles of their actions establish a law for a hypothetical kingdom. Kant also distinguished between perfect and imperfect duties. A perfect duty, such as the duty not to lie, always holds true; an imperfect duty, such as the duty to give to charity, can be made flexible and applied in particular time and place. American philosopher Louis Pojman has cited Pietism, political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the modern debate between rationalism and empiricism, and the influence of natural law as influences on the development of Kant's ethics."

"text": "Plato's Ethics and Politics in The Republic First published Tue Apr 1, 2003; substantive revision Tue Sep 12, 2017Plato’s Republic centers on a simple question: is it always better to be just than unjust? The puzzles in Book One prepare for this question, and Glaucon and Adeimantus make it explicit at the beginning of Book Two. To answer the question, Socrates takes a long way around, sketching an account of a good city on the grounds that a good city would be just and that defining justice as a virtue of a city would help to define justice as a virtue of a human being. Socrates is finally close to answering the question after he characterizes justice as a personal virtue at the end of Book Four, but he is interrupted and challenged to defend some of the more controversial features of the good city he has sketched. In Books Five through Seven, he addresses this challenge, arguing (in effect) that the just city and the just human being as he has sketched them are in fact good and are in principle possible. After this long digression, Socrates in Books Eight and Nine finally delivers three “proofs” that it is always better to be just than unjust. Then, because Socrates wants not only to show that it is always better to be just but also to convince Glaucon and Adeimantus of this point, and because Socrates’ proofs are opposed by the teachings of poets, he bolsters his case in Book Ten by indicting the poets’ claims to represent the truth and by offering a new myth that is consonant with his proofs. As this overview makes clear, the center of Plato’s Republic is a contribution to ethics: a discussion of what the virtue justice is and why a person should be just. Yet because Socrates links his discussion of personal justice to an account of justice in the city and makes claims about how good and bad cities are arranged, the Republic sustains reflections on political questions, as well. Not that ethics and politics exhaust the concerns of the Republic."

To what extent is feminism a coherent and distinctive approach to legal theory? Feminist jurisprudence is a broad church and reflects different strands of feminist thought but the unifying theme is that society and in particular, the legal system is patriarchal. Thus, feminist legal theorists have maintained their quest for a specifically feminist jurisprudence, aiming to make moral and legal philosophy more receptive to women. The dichotomy between the public and private is very much at the core of feminist legal theory. Notwithstanding the gains in formal equality and legal access to the public realm, feminists have argued that women remain subordinate to men. Catharine Mackinnon, a leading scholar in feminist jurisprudence, claims that the foundations on which jurisprudence lie are profoundly instilled with a masculine perspective, and women are denied full involvement in society. In contrast, there have been competing claims by Carol Gilligan that women are not necessarily considered inferior to men, but instead they simply reason differently."

"text": "\"Feminist Ethics and Narrative Ethics A narrative approach to ethics focuses on how stories that are told, written, or otherwise expressed by individuals and groups help to define and structure our moral universe. Specifically, narrative ethicists take the practices of storytelling, listening, and bearing empathetic, careful witness to these stories to be central to understanding and evaluating not just the unique circumstances of particular lives, but the wider moral contexts within which we all exist. In telling stories, they suggest, we both create and reveal who we think we are as moral agents and as persons; in granting these stories uptake—that is, in giving them epistemic credibility—we help to mold and sustain the moral identities of others, as well as our own. Thus, theorists engaged in narratively-based moral scholarship take stories to be foundational for how we view the world and our place in it, arguing that they are the means through which we can make ourselves morally intelligible to ourselves and to others. At their best, narrative methodologies offer non-ideal, epistemically rich approaches—that are not grounded in strict, juridical principles—to a number of philosophical discourses, including those central to questions of morality, identity, and social justice. At their most worrisome, they appear to be merely loosely-related notions about the constitutive roles of stories in moral theory and practice that do not easily lend themselves to rigorous moral justifications, epistemic explanations, or the guiding of action, raising concerns about the theoretical and practical soundness of the whole endeavor. Table of Contents Introduction Feminist Ethics Narrative Theories and Methodologies Feminist Ethics and Narrative Some Criticisms of Narrative Approaches to Ethics Conclusion References and Further Reading1. Introduction Even as a relatively new set of moral discourses and practices, narrative ethics has made its presence known. Among the areas within philosophy in which the influence of narrative has been particularly influential are biomedical ethics and feminist ethics. While this entry will only minimally touch on the former, the focus on the latter requires some qualification: While the themes, concerns, and ideas that connect feminist ethics and narrative theory are philosophically significant, this is not to suggest that all (or even most) of feminist ethics employs narrative methodologies, or that all (or most) feminist ethicists are narrativists."

[ 1] While consequentialist and deontological ethical theories emphasize generalizable standards and impartiality, ethics of care emphasize the importance of response to the individual.

"text": "\"ÝThe Nature of Morality and Moral Theories The words \"\"moral\"\" and \"\"ethics\"\" (and cognates) are often used interchangeably. However, it is useful to make the following distinction: Morality is the system through which we determine right and wrong conduct -- i.e., the guide to good or right conduct. Ethics is the philosophical study of Morality. What, then, is a moral theory? A theory is a structured set of statements used to explain (or predict) a set of facts or concepts. Ý A moral theory, then, explains why a certain action is wrong -- or why we ought to act in certain ways. ÝÝ In short, it is a theory of how we determine right and wrong conduct. Ý Also, moral theories provide the framework upon which we think and discuss in a reasoned way, and so evaluate, specific moral issues. Seen in this light, it becomes clear that we cannot draw a sharp divide between moral theory and applied ethics (e.g., medical or business ethics). For instance, in order to critically evaluate the moral issue of affirmative action, we must not attempt to evaluate what actions or policies are right (or wrong) independent of what we take to determine right and wrong conduct."

Feminists disagree about what sexism consists in, and what exactly ought to be done about it; they disagree about what it means to be a woman or a man and what social and political implications gender has or should have. Nonetheless, motivated by the quest for social justice, feminist inquiry provides a wide range of perspectives on social, cultural, economic, and political phenomena. Important topics for feminist theory and politics include: the body, class and work, disability, the family, globalization, human rights, popular culture, race and racism, reproduction, science, the self, sex work, human trafficking, and sexuality.

"text": "I was recently at a lecture where an audience member asked the speaker, psychologist Dr. Richard Schwartz, about his stance on the role of therapist self-disclosure. Dr. Schwartz paused for a moment before responding that he often urges supervisees to bring to mind the acronym WAIT before engaging in self-disclosure in a session (personal communication, September 18, 2014). Short for “Why Am I Telling?” he explained that this self-directed question is aimed at getting clinicians to consider whether they would be self-disclosing expressly for the client’s benefit, or if they would be doing so to fulfill a personal need. In the event that the therapist is inclined to self-disclose to gratify her own need, she is advised to abstain from self-disclosing in order to prioritize the client’s needs within the therapeutic relationship. The question of what constitutes ethical and useful self-disclosure is one that comes up regularly during my training as a psychologist. Though I found the “WAIT” rule-of-thumb helpful in generally guiding my decision making, I was left wondering about how, as psychotherapists, we can assess whether or not our clients are likely to benefit from our self-disclosure in a given situation. Are there certain types of disclosure that, as a rule, are more useful than others? What are the client variables worthy of consideration? As psychotherapists, what do we need to know about in-session self-disclosure to make decisions that uphold the general ethical principles, particularly beneficence and nonmaleficence (APA, 2010)?"

"text": "Instructor: Deborah Teasley Deborah has 4 years of teaching experience and a master's degree in program development & management. Do you believe there is a universal code of ethics or that context matters? In this lesson, we will discuss ethics of care theory and how it relies on our relationships with one another when making ethical decisions. What Is Ethics of Care? Ethel is 89 years old and was just diagnosed with terminal cancer. Her doctor believes that she's got only a couple of months left to live. In that time, Ethel's health will deteriorate rapidly, and she will experience a lot of pain. Ethel wants to live out the rest of her good days with her family. However, once the pain becomes unbearable and she can no longer take care of herself, Ethel is considering opting for physician-assisted suicide. Her current doctor does not support this idea because she views it as murder."

"text": "Autonomy in Moral and Political Philosophy First published Mon Jul 28, 2003; substantive revision Fri Jan 9, 2015Individual autonomy is an idea that is generally understood to refer to the capacity to be one's own person, to live one's life according to reasons and motives that are taken as one's own and not the product of manipulative or distorting external forces. It is a central value in the Kantian tradition of moral philosophy but it is also given fundamental status in John Stuart Mill's version of utilitarian liberalism (Kant 1785/1983, Mill 1859/1975, ch. III). Examination of the concept of autonomy also figures centrally in debates over education policy, biomedical ethics, various legal freedoms and rights (such as freedom of speech and the right to privacy), as well as moral and political theory more broadly. In the realm of moral theory, seeing autonomy as a central value can be contrasted with alternative frameworks such an ethic of care, utilitarianism of some kinds, and an ethic of virtue. Autonomy has traditionally been thought to connote independence and hence to reflect assumptions of individualism in both moral thinking and political designations of political status. In recent decades, however, theorists have increasingly tried to structure the concept so as to sever its ties to this brand of individualism. In all such discussions the concept of autonomy is the focus of much controversy and debate, disputes which focus attention on the fundamentals of moral and political philosophy and the Enlightenment conception of the person more generally.1. The Concept of Autonomy1.1 Basic Distinctions1.2 Conceptual Variations2. Autonomy in Moral Philosophy2.1 Autonomy as an Object of Value2.2 Autonomy and Paternalism3."

"text": "\"PDFPrint Share+Perspectives on Supervision in Human Services: Gazing Through Critical and Feminist Lenses [*]Jay Poole The University of North Carolina at Greensboro Volume 14, Issue 1, 2010DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/mfr.4919087.0014.107Permissions Abstract Supervision is a cornerstone activity in the development of practice skills for human service professionals. Traditionally, supervision is conducted in ways that emphasize the expertise of the supervisor and the need to impart expert wisdom to the supervisee. In many ways, the supervisory relationship often mirrors traditional teacher/student roles contextualized in dominant/subordinate ways of being together. Oversight and monitoring become central activities in such traditional supervisory approaches, which may limit possibilities for growth and development. Critical and feminist perspectives offer other ways of conceptualizing supervision, namely through careful consideration of how power operates and may be used in the supervisory relationship. Intentional reciprocity may be discovered if dominant/subordinate power differentials are re-visioned. This article suggests ways that supervision and supervisory relationships may be (re)considered beyond traditional approaches. Key Words: Critical theory, Feminist Theory, Human services, Mentoring, Supervision*Please address all correspondence to: Dr. Jay Poole, MSW, LCSW, Visiting Assistant Professor, Department of Social Work, The University of North Carolina at Greensboro; Email: [email protected] ; Phone: 336.334.4097 ; Fax: 336.334.5210Introductory Thoughts For many years, supervision has been a central tenant of the human services professions (e.g. psychology, counseling, social work), and as professional licensure has become more prominent supervision has been hailed as the space for “gate keeping” with regard to who is or is not granted permission to be a human services professional. Indeed, most licensure boards (e.g., NASW, AAMFT) require supervision as part of the licensure process with the purpose of ensuring that the new licensee is monitored and supported to perform in the best interests of the public. Obviously, the relationship between supervisor and supervisee is one that is important and likely will have a career-long impact on the practice of the supervisee."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Descriptive ethics, also known as comparative ethics, is the study of people's beliefs about morality. [ 1] [ self-published source]: 26 It contrasts with prescriptive or normative ethics, which is the study of ethical theories that prescribe how people ought to act, and with meta-ethics, which is the study of what ethical terms and theories actually refer to. The following examples of questions that might be considered in each field illustrate the differences between the fields: Descriptive ethics: What do people think is right? Meta-ethics: What does \"\"right\"\" even mean? Normative (prescriptive) ethics: How should people act? Applied ethics: How do we take moral knowledge and put it into practice? Contents1 What is descriptive ethics?2 Lawrence Kohlberg: An example of descriptive ethics3 References4 See also What is descriptive ethics? [ edit]Descriptive ethics is a form of empirical research into the attitudes of individuals or groups of people. In other words, this is the division of philosophical or general ethics that involves the observation of the moral decision-making process with the goal of describing the phenomenon. Those working on descriptive ethics aim to uncover people's beliefs about such things as values, which actions are right and wrong, and which characteristics of moral agents are virtuous."

"text": "\"Dan Boonegardener Posts: 1836Location: Central Oklahoma (zone 7a)204I like...posted 3 years ago1So I was driving down my road today when I saw the utility crew cutting brush under the powerlines. They had three guys with backpack sprayers out spraying toxic gick on the underbrush. I realized when I saw them that they were about 200 yards away from reaching the roadside elderberry patch that I found last summer -- the only local elderberries I have seen. I picked some elderberries last year from that patch that I dried in my dehydrator and have been scattering all over my property. But growing elderberries from seed is a chancy business. I normally wouldn't consider taking cuttings from \"\"public\"\" bushes like this, but with the poison squad just minutes away, I decided to pull in and cut some cuttings. Oklahoma's cooperative extension service has this to say about propagating elderberry from cuttings: Elderberries can be propagated by hardwood cuttings. In early spring before budbreak, take 10- to 12-inch cuttings from live portions of the previous season’s growth and plant them 10 to 12 inches apart in rows, leaving the top bud exposed. Firm soil around cuttings and water as needed to retain a moist medium for rooting. Cuttings can be transplanted early the next spring."

Judged:611Reply »Report Abuse Judge it!Archon United States#2 Jan 27, 2010Well, try to keep a sharp ear out. The chickens will let you know when something that shouldn't be is in the coop. .... and that's why God gave us shotguns... Judged:731Reply »Report Abuse Judge it!newgirl Greenbrier, AR#3 Jan 27, 2010Well, they haven't been making any noise, and the traps haven't worked, and like I said I don't want to stay up all night with a shotgun. So, if you don't really have any good advice, don't comment. I didn't start this topic to get anyone riled up, I just want to kill whatever is eating my chickens. Thank you!Judged:611Reply »Report Abuse Judge it!guest United States#4 Jan 27, 2010what kind of traps are you setting...if you have a bobcat, you can catch it by either digging a big hole and burying a chicken with just a leg sticking out with the trap bedded solid, covered with clean dirt, and set slightly off to one side of the exposed leg about 6-8 inches from it. Be sure to put it against the side of the building or put a large block of wood behind the leg or something. Another good set for bobcats is to hang a wing or a couple wing feathers from a tree branch with some fishing string and set a trap or two under the hanging wings."

This satellite image, taken on April 28, 2014, at 13:01 UTC, shows that the storm system that generated the recent severe weather has moved to the east. PHOTOGRAPH BY NASA/NOAA GOES PROJECTBy Brian Clark Howard, National Geographic PUBLISHED April 30, 2014When Americans imagine tornadoes, many tend to think of them churning through plains states like Kansas or Oklahoma. But destructive twisters strike hard in a very broad area of the eastern United States.

He said the recent days were \"\"nothing outlandish\"\" in weather terms. \"\" They have been ordinary big days. \"\" Animation: How a Tornado Forms Animation: How a Tornado Forms Brooks estimates that the tornadoes that hit Sunday are on par with what would be expected on about 10 to 15 days in any given year.

One father describes how he shieded his family as the tornado swept by their house. VPC (Photo: Danny Johnston, AP)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREDeadly twisters lashed Alabama and Mississippi on Monday as the South took a violent second-day assault from spring storms. Seven people were reported killed in Mississippi and as many as six were reported killed in Alabama, although only two had been confirmed and the total was uncertain Monday night. The storms come one day after tornadoes killed 17 people across central and southern parts of the nation. Most of Sunday's deaths were in Arkansas, with one death each in Oklahoma and Iowa. Athens, Ala., spokeswoman Holly Hollman said the Limestone County sheriff's department reported two deaths from a twister that hit a mobile home park west of the town. Another four people were killed from a twister southeast of town, county commissioner Bill Latimer told the Associated Press. State emergency management officials said they did not have confirmation of the deaths. In Mississippi, seven deaths have been reported, emergency officials told reporters at a press conference with Gov. Phil Bryant."

[ 3] The territorial capitol had been located at Arkansas Post in Southeast Arkansas since 1819, but the site had proven unsuitable as a settlement due to frequent flooding of the Arkansas River. Over the years, the \"\"little rock\"\" was known as a waypoint along the river, but remained unsettled. A land speculator from St. Louis, Missouri who had acquired many acres around the \"\"little rock\"\" began pressuring the Arkansas territorial legislature in February 1820 to move the capital to the site, but the representatives could not decide between little rock or Cadron, which was the preferred site of Territorial Governor James Miller. The issue was tabled until October 1820, by which time most of the legislators and other influential men had purchased lots around Little Rock. ["

The information provided on this website is for information purposes only and does not create an attorney-client relationship between us. Arkansas law substantially favors landlords. There are two ways to evict a tenant in Arkansas: civil eviction or criminal eviction . Each method has its own benefits and drawbacks. The civil eviction is known as the unlawful detainer. This method of eviction has long historical roots; it essentially is the same method the British used before America was colonized. Today, it is codified in the Arkansas statutes at Arkansas Code Annotated 18-60-301 et seq. The statutes are at the bottom of this article for your reference. While the criminal eviction is very limited in scope, the unlawful detainer is the default method."

Which is true?and if carrots are actually bad for rabbits, then what type of fresh vegetables are better for their everyday diet? -thx1 following 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Carrots are good in proportion with other vegetables. As with any food, if given alone without any other vegetables the rabbit will be lacking in other vitamins and minerals. Carrots are good and contain essential vitamins. All vegetables contain natural sugars. Fruit are the worst sugars though and in large amounts can cause obesity and sticky bottom syndrome. As well as vegetables your rabbit should have unlimited hay as the fibre helps support the digestive system. Pellets should be fed in a small portion compared to the fresh food. Pellets contain vitamins and minerals and some contain probiotics that help maintain a healthy gut and coccidiostats to prevent coccidiosis but in large amounts alone can make your rabbit obese."

The dried food is a complete food which contains all the necessary nutrition, protein and vitamins required, to which should be added fibre in the form of hay and fresh vegetables to provide a full and balanced, healthy feeding regime. Make sure that the rabbit eats everything in the dish before adding new otherwise he may only eat the 'best bits' and will not be getting a complete, balanced diet, this is known as selective eating and must be avoided. Remove any left over remains from the floor of the hutch as it may go mouldy and will be bad for the rabbit if he tries to eat it. Do not overfeed, and do not keep refilling the bowl as it becomes empty. Babies (Kits) All my kits are weaned onto the above diet. During my weaning process, I add a pro-biotic to the water to help balance the good bacteria in the gut. With each kit that I sell, I include a months' supply of the food that they have been brought up on. You should keep your new rabbit on the same diet for at least a month on arrival with you, after which time you can wean them onto a different food if you want to. This MUST NOT be done overnight."

Mixed grass hay or Timothy hay is preferred because it is lower in calories and calcium than alfalfa. Use a good quality, high fiber alfalfa or timothy based pellet as a small part of your rabbit’s diet. Feed a minimum of 1 cup vegetables for each 4 lbs. of body weight. Select at least three types of vegetables daily. A variety is necessary in order to obtain the necessary nutrients, with one each day that contains Vitamin A, indicated by an *.

"text": "\"Introduction Many people mean well when they contact House Rabbit Society after discovering an \"\"abandonded\"\" nest of wild rabbits. Often they wish to \"\"rehabilitate\"\" them with some advice from others. The reality is fewer than 10% of orphaned rabbits survive a week, and the care that people attempt to provide can be illegal, unnecessary, and potentially harmful. The best thing you can do is to contact a wildlife rehabilitator in your area. I/My Dog/My Cat Found a Rabbit Nest! What Do I Do? Rabbits \"\"hide their nests in plain view,\"\" often putting them in the open, for example in the middle of the lawn, as well as in brush piles and long grass. If you find a nest that has been disturbed, do all you can to restore and protect it rather than bring the infants inside. If a dog has discovered the nest, you can put a wheelbarrow over it, so that the mother can get to it but the dog cannot. You can also protect the nest with a wicker laundry basket with a hole cut in it for the mother to enter."

Cartoons in 1944. [ 1] Bugs starred in 167 shorts during the Golden Age of American animation, and made cameos in three others along with a few appearances in non-animated films. He is an anthropomorphic hare or rabbit . According to Bugs Bunny: 50 Years and Only One Grey Hare, he was born in July 27, 1940 in Brooklyn, New York in a warren under Ebbets Field, home of the Brooklyn Dodgers. In reality, he was created by many animators and staff, including Tex Avery, who directed A Wild Hare, Bugs' debut role, and Robert Mc Kimson, who created the definitive Bugs Bunny character design. According to Mel Blanc, the character's original voice actor, Bugs has a Flatbush accent. Bugs has had numerous catchphrases, the most prominent being a casual \"\"Eh... What's up, doc? \"\", usually said while chewing a carrot. He is the most prominent of the Looney Tunes characters as his calm, flippant insouciance endeared him to American audiences during and after World War II. He is a mascot of the Looney Tunes series, and Warner Bros. in general."

You can pick one up at a feed store, pharmacy, Dr’s office, or Vet’s office. It will give you much better control than eye droppers or other devices, and you will be less likely to cause aspiration (sucking formula into the respiratory tract). Bunnies will not “suck” a nurser bottle. The best way to feed a bunny is to drop the formula (using the syringe) just under the nose at the “split” of the mouth, drop by drop, and let the bunny lick it off. As he figures out what you are doing, he will begin to lap the formula faster, and then you will be able to administer the formula as fast as he is taking it. Always wait for the bunny...never feed him faster than he is lapping. DIET (FORMULA)Bunnies require a formula very high in fat. In the wild, their mother’s milk is so rich that she need only feed them 2-3 times in a 24 hour period. Since we cannot duplicate this, bunnies in rehab situations should be fed more often when they are very young (4-5 times a day)."

She ignored me and asked it anyway – she wanted to know if we’d be interested in taking in a half-grown rabbit from a woman who couldn’t keep it anymore. After a lot of deliberation and several conversations with my husband, I decided that we could take in the bunny. Her name was Maggie, and my girls fell in love with her instantly.

Teach your new rabbit that you are nothing to be scared of. Use its name and let it come and sniff your hand before you take it from its hutch. I always prefer my rabbits to continue on the food they are used to but if you want to switch to your choice do this gradually, mixing a little into the current food, gradually increasing the new food over a week period, then you can switch to just the new food. Rabbits will not eat dirty hay but need to graze on fresh hay almost continuously to keep their teeth in order. You can get hay racks which attach to the wire of the hutch. Rabbits need a daily supply of fresh dry-food, hay and water. If your rabbit has been used to eating greens then these can be offered however too many greens can cause soft droppings. I do advise not giving your baby rabbit greens until they are at least 16 weeks old."

Merrie Melodies animated short film. It was produced by Leon Schlesinger Productions, directed by Tex Avery, and written by Rich Hogan, and originally released on July 27, 1940. A Wild Hare is considered by many film historians to be the first \"\"official\"\" Bugs Bunny cartoon, and set the basic comedy formula for the rest of Bugs Bunny's shorts, solidifying Bugs as a Karmic Trickster and finalizing Elmer Fudd's personality and design. The opening lines of both characters—\"\"Be vewy, vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits\"\" for Elmer, and \"\"Eh, what's up Doc?\"\" for the rabbit—would become catchphrases throughout their subsequent films. The short begins with Elmer Fudd setting out to hunt for wabbits, and instead encountering Bugs, who after not falling for Elmer's first trick to lure Bugs out of his hole with a carrot comes out of a separate hole, and as Elmer is still peeking down the first rabbit hole, he chews on his carrot and nonchalantly asks \"\"Eh, what's up Doc?\"\" This sets the tone for the rest of the short, in which Bugs manages to outsmart Elmer at every turn and foil every trap. After Elmer becomes overly frustrated Bugs offers him a free shot with his shotgun, and when Elmer misses Bugs plays dead (\"\"Everything's gettin' dark...\"\"), which leaves Elmer sobbing and calling himself a murderer. Bugs gets up, kicks Elmer in the rear and shoves a cigar in his mouth, before tip-toeing away ballet-style."

Seriously, you'll go about feeding your rabbits food that you hear is potentially harmful and fatal without doing any research? Do you not have access to search engines that give you the ability to find rabbit-savvy websites with dietary information? Jeez. Carrots are high in sugar and can be fattening, this food should not be given as apart of the rabbit's regular diet, though can make a tasty treat. What kind of lettuce are you giving your rabbits? Ice burg and light-colored lettuce mostly consist of water and contains very little nutrtion, it causes loose stools, stomach upset and digestive tract issues, which is potentially fatal to rabbits. Romaine lettuce, on the other hand, contains vitamin A, is nutritious and can be fed as apart of the rabbit's regular diet. Other foods to feed rabbits include - green leaf lettuce, collard and mustard greens, parsley, cilantro, blue berries, raspberries, strawberries, broccoli, alfalfa, spinach, banana, radish sprouts, turnip greens, beet greens, clover, orange, plums, pineapple, celery, peppermint leaves, green peppers. Also, good quality rabbit pellets that are high in fiber and low in protein, as well as high quality timothy hay - hay is more beneficial to rabbits than the pellets, so the amount of pellets should be very limited, while the hay should be unlimited."

If you have diarrhea that lasts for more than 24 hours, or if you have pain and cramping, call your doctor. Changes in your diet can help. Drink plenty of fluids that contain key chemicals and minerals so you don't become dehydrated. Beverages with potassium in them, such as fruit juice and sports drinks, are especially good.

You may find it hard to enjoy a meal because of worrying that it will be followed by “the runs.” In fact, the stress itself may also cause diarrhea to become worse after your meal. Advertisement Some of the possible causes for having diarrhea episodes after a meal, or “postprandial diarrhea”, are a viral or bacterial infection, lactose intolerance, food poisoning, and even stress. If you suffer from a chronic condition like irritable bowel syndrome, Celiac disease, or have had gastric bypass surgery, you may also frequently experience loose stools immediately after eating your meal. The first symptoms of diarrhea may be stomach cramps or abdomen pain after eating. This can occur anywhere between a few minutes and a few hours after finishing your meal. The stomach pain is often followed by having to run to the bathroom. Thankfully, there are many natural treatments to ease the symptoms of diarrhea after eating which can help you find needed relief and, in cases of chronic diarrhea (constant diarrhea), help manage your symptoms. Let’s look at some of the most common reasons why eating can sometimes cause diarrhea and what natural remedies are available to get rid of the symptoms."

Filed under: carrots and rabbits, nutritional foods for rabbits, rabbit diet — Dr. Amber Reed @ 9:19 am Who can forget the image of Bugs Bunny chomping on carrots as he outwits Elmer Fudd. We’re all familiar with the stereotype of rabbits eating carrots, but is it true? Indeed, rabbits do eat carrots but their diet is not as specific as carrots alone. Wild rabbits eat a variety of foods and while each species of rabbit will have some variation in their diets, most rabbits enjoy a similar range of foods. Carrots are loved by rabbits because they are hard vegetables that help them to sharpen and work their teeth. Also, carrots are sweet and a great treat for rabbits, but this food alone is insufficient for their diets. In fact, eating carrots alone can provide your rabbit with too many calories and too few vitamins so you should introduce a more complete diet to your rabbit. Rabbits, for example, love to eat hay for fibre. Hay can help rabbits maintain good digestive health, specifically intestinal health."

"text": "How to Get Rid of Diarrhea? May 14, 2011 Leave a Comment Diarrhea is characterized by passing of loose, watery stools at least three times in a day. The embarrassing affliction makes one wonder how to get rid of Diarrhea fast before it causes further trouble, especially during traveling. The best way to cure Diarrhea is to have ripe bananas . You will have to avoid fatty foods, even milk until the condition heals. Rather, you will have to suffice with bland, easily digestible, low fiber foods like plain rice, boiled potatoes, cooked carrots etc. But, before moving on to explore more natural ways on how to stop Diarrhea, you should first have a little idea about what causes Diarrhea. Causes and Symptoms of Diarrhea: This ailment is usually caused by infection due to virus, bacteria or parasites leading issues like stomach flu and food poisoning.

"text": "Irritable Bowel Syndrome Diet Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of the intestines. It can cause cramping, stomach pain, gas, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Some people with IBS have constipation (difficult or infrequent bowel movements). Others have diarrhea (frequent, loose stools). Some people have both. Eating more or less fiber can help control these symptoms. High-fiber/Low-fat Diet If you have constipation, a high-fiber diet can help. Try to eat 20 to 35 grams of fiber each day. Use food labels to tell how many grams of fiber are in foods you eat. Important Points to Keep in Mind The foods that have the most fiber are grains (especially bran), whole-grain breads and cereals, fruits, and vegetables."

Below are some things to consider when thinking about feeding apples to horses: Apples can give them a bad tummy ache and flatulence (gas). This is called Colic and is often fatal. 1 - 2 apples per day is usually okay. Too much of anything is good for nothing.

Causes For Acid Reflux Yellow Stool Invariably, yellow stools are associated with acid reflux. The following are some of the common causes: GERD or gastro-esophageal reflux disease is a chronic disorder that affects the digestive system. Merely passing yellow stools does not signify GERD. Other associated symptoms of GERD are: heartburn or burning in the chest, occasional chest pain, water brash, sore throat and irregular bowel movement. Giardia: is a common water-borne infection that occurs due to the intake of contaminated water. It causes yellow stools, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort and burning in the chest.

Cure Joy Editorial Nov 20, 2017 6 Min Read Disorders of the pancreas can bring on severe abdominal pain and even result in long-term problems like diabetes. With pancreatic cancer being a leading cause of death in men and women, it is vital to ensure that your pancreas is supported with healing foods. The right diet and correct mix of foods can help improve the health of your pancreas and, by extension, your overall health too. Your pancreas may be the less glamorous cousin of organs like the heart and lungs. Yet it quietly goes about its job, keeping your digestive juices flowing and regulating the body’s glucose levels by producing insulin. It plays twin roles, working in both the endocrine system and the digestive system, so when your pancreas is in trouble, you may experience a range of problems from abdominal pain to diarrhea, vomiting, malnutrition, and even diabetes. Thankfully, the right foods in your diet can go a long way in healing your pancreas and restoring your health. Keep in mind, though, that while the foods listed here can have a restorative and soothing effect on your pancreas, these are not a substitute for medical opinion or medication prescribed by your doctor.

Individuals should consult a doctor prior to starting a high-protein diet. The U. S.

Federal dietary guidelines recommend a diet that is 10 to 15 percent protein, 40 to 60 percent carbohydrates and 20 to 35 percent fat. The Atkins Diet allows all types of protein and fat, including meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, butter and oil and restricts carbohydrates like bread, pasta, fruit, milk, alcohol and starchy vegetables like potatoes, peas and corn.

Bananas, Carrots, and Almonds are Good if You are Trying to Lose Weight Fitday Editor Fitness Weight Loss While you may often hear that foods like bananas, carrots, and almonds are good for weight loss, there is so much conflicting information that it is hard to make an educated decision. This article will discuss the question--are bananas, carrots, and almonds good to consume if you are trying to lose weight? Bananas Bananas are loaded with potassium, which is an essential mineral that is sometimes missed if you are on a diet. In addition, the ease of which bananas can be packed, transported, and eaten makes them a great choice if you are on a diet. While bananas are relatively low in calories and fat, they don't necessarily have a whole lot of fiber. Fiber is an essential nutrient if you are on a diet, because it helps to keep you feeling fuller, longer and prevents overeating at future meals. In short, bananas make a good choice if you are on a diet because they are low in calories and fat. However, don't plan on eating a banana and having it keep you feeling full through your afternoon meeting. Carrots Carrots are a great choice if you are trying to lose weight."

"text": "\"Glycemic index diet: What's behind the claims By Mayo Clinic Staff A glycemic index diet is an eating plan based on how foods affect your blood sugar level. The glycemic index is a system of assigning a number to carbohydrate-containing foods according to how much each food increases blood sugar. The glycemic index itself is not a diet plan but one of various tools — such as calorie counting or carbohydrate counting — for guiding food choices. The term \"\"glycemic index diet\"\" usually refers to a specific diet plan that uses the index as the primary or only guide for meal planning. Unlike some other plans, a glycemic index diet doesn't necessarily specify portion sizes or the optimal number of calories, carbohydrates, or fats for weight loss or weight maintenance. Many popular commercial diets, diet books and diet websites are based on the glycemic index, including the Zone Diet, Sugar Busters and the Slow-Carb Diet. Purpose The purpose of a glycemic index (GI) diet is to eat carbohydrate-containing foods that are less likely to cause large increases in blood sugar levels. The diet could be a means to lose weight and prevent chronic diseases related to obesity such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Why you might follow the GI diet You might choose to follow the GI diet because you: Want to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight Need help planning and eating healthier meals Need help maintaining blood sugar levels as part of a diabetes treatment plan Studies suggest that a GI diet can help achieve these goals. However, you might be able to achieve the same health benefits by eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight and getting enough exercise."

With an average banana coming in at 120 calories do you really think that this yellow, nutrient-dense, low-calorie, all-natural, straight-out-of-the-ground fruit is going to make you fat? Compare that to the average serving of salad dressing which clocks in at over 160 calories with absolutely no redeeming nutritional value. Perhaps carrots, bananas and tomatoes have 5-10 more calories per serving than broccoli or cucumbers but try them against a \"\"low carb bar\"\" which typically clock in at over 200.

Here are 29 healthy and weight loss friendly snacks to add to your diet.1. Mixed Nuts Nuts are an ideal nutritious snack. They've been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease and may help prevent certain cancers, depression and other diseases ( 1, 2 ). Despite being relatively high in fat, they are very filling. Several studies suggest that eating nuts in moderation can help you lose weight ( 3, 4, 5 ). Nuts contain the perfect balance of healthy fat, protein and fiber. They contain about 180 calories in a 1 oz (28 grams) serving, on average. They also taste great and don't require refrigeration, so they're perfect for carrying with you when away from home.2."

Some diets feature carrots as the main food source, and may promise quick weight loss and other health benefits. While carrots should be included in a healthy eating plan, too many carrots in your diet can have unpleasant consequences. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Diet Types The Add a Carrot diet is just that -- you eat a whole carrot at the start of every meal. You may substitute another very low-calorie cruciferous vegetable, but carrots are preferred for their massive nutritional punch. The crunchy, fiber-packed carrot will help you feel full more quickly, so you eat less. According to psychotherapist Thayer White's 1995 book, \"\"Be Your Own Therapist,\"\" acceptable substitutes include cucumbers, zucchini, turnips and even dill pickles, homemade vegetable juice or soup. Thayer says even plain water taken before a meal will help produce the full feeling. The Carrot Juice Fast is a crash diet that promises quick weight loss and body purification. This 7-day diet requires you to drink 8 oz."

Dietitian, Juliette Kellow shows you how to make the best of fruit and veg as part of a healthy, balanced diet to lose weight, and dispels some of the diet myths about specific fruit and vegetable types like carrots, apples, avocado, grapefruit, bananas and juice. Fruit and Vegetables in a Weight Loss Diet By Dietitian Juliette Kellow BSc RDTweet Most slimmers know that fruits and vegetables are an important part of a healthy, balanced diet and can help to fill us up when we’re trying to lose weight. But nevertheless, some popular choices from the fruit and veg aisle in the supermarket still leave us feeling confused. For example, many of us choose to avoid bananas, avocados, sweetcorn, carrots and peas because we think they are fattening. In contrast, some of us think that eating celery or grapefruit will actually help weight loss. What’s the Truth about fruit and Veg? Eating more fruit and veg is essential both for good health and to help us lose weight, plus, according to recent research, it can make us happier. Most fruits and vegetables are low in calories and fat, and high in fibre – three essential ingredients for successful weight loss. Most also contain plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, all of which are important for helping us to look and feel our best and to protect us from disease."

Many fruits and vegetables are good for weight loss, because they are low in calories and you can use them at almost any kind of meal or as a snack. Fruits and vegetables are nutritious choices, but talk to a nutritionist to make sure that your diet program includes a balanced meal plan. Leafy Greens Leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach or endive are good for weight loss. They are low in calories and you can use them as the foundation for a side or entrée salad. Almost any raw vegetable makes a good addition to the greens and possibilities include radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes and sprouts. Add flavor while keeping the calories low by adding some fresh or canned fruit such as sliced strawberries or mandarin orange sections. Full-fat salad dressings are high in calories, so use a light dressing, lemon juice or a small amount of regular dressing. Raw Snacks Snacking on raw, whole fruits and vegetables can help you stick to your diet by keeping your calories low while reducing your hunger between meals. Try apples, oranges or nectarines, berries, honeydew melon, watermelon, cantaloupe, baby carrots, red or green bell pepper strips, broccoli or cauliflower florets and cherry tomatoes."

Cats need mostly proteins to lead a healthy life because they are carnivores. But if your cat is more tubby than tabby, you might want to introduce some veggie treats. Benefits Although cats are meat-eaters, when they hunt and eat their natural prey, they eat the vegetable matter in the prey’s gut. Cats are built to tolerate a certain amount of roughage in their diets. If your cat is overweight, adding some veggies to her diet can help keep her weight down. Feeding your cat vegetables can also boost her immune system and can lessen the effects of aging. Good and Bad Good vegetables to offer your cat are chopped carrots, peas, frozen corn, broccoli florets, green beans, zucchini, lettuce, spinach and catnip. Do not offer garlic, onions, tomatoes, avocados or mushrooms."

"text": "RABBIT CAREWhen you have collected your new rabbit give it a chance to settle into its new home. Ideally put into the new hutch and leave inside for at least one day. Teach your new rabbit that you are nothing to be scared of. Use its name and let it come and sniff your hand before you take it from its hutch. I always prefer my rabbits to continue on the food they are used to but if you want to switch to your choice do this gradually, mixing a little into the current food, gradually increasing the new food over a week period, then you can switch to just the new food. Rabbits will not eat dirty hay but need to graze on fresh hay almost continuously to keep their teeth in order. You can get hay racks which attach to the wire of the hutch. Rabbits need a daily supply of fresh dry-food, hay and water. If your rabbit has been used to eating greens then these can be offered however too many greens can cause soft droppings. I do advise not giving your baby rabbit greens until they are at least 16 weeks old."

Can E. coli infect plants? According to University of Illinois Plant Pathologist, Nancy Pataky, the bacteria that is already on plant roots, as well as bacteria and fungi in the soil, would compete with E.coli and keep it in check, perhaps even feed on it. \"\" Additionally, no research has indicated that the E. coli bacterium is anything more than a surface contaminant. \"\" Can disease be transferred from animal manure to humans? Yes, it's quite possible for manure to spread disease to human beings, although there have not been many long-term studies involving manure and home gardens."

Posted on November 20, 2015 by Lea Harris Jacobson, Certified Clinical Aromatherapist Evernote Facebook Twitter Pinterest Line Email Google+ Print Print Friendly Share We get asked almost daily in our safety group about using essential oils with pets (usually dogs and cats). Because the usage information for dogs and cats is not the same, I have split the information in two posts: this one for dogs, and one for cats. What you will learn on this page: General safety tips Selecting which essential oils to use (Zoopharmacognosy)Essential oils safe to use with dogs Using topically Diluting Carriers Hydrosols Resources A note about Tea Tree and dogs General Safety Tips Before I get into the lists of essential oils which are safe to use, I want you to understand some basic safety information:dogs are more sensitive to essential oils than humans are. Essential oils should always be used diluted, even when just inhaling . This is important to remember, as we humans don't dilute when inhaling.most issues that dogs have can be addressed with the inhalation of diluted essential oils . There are a few issues which can be addressed with topical use, and they will be addressed below.only use essential oils with your dogs when needed to address a concern – not to “prevent” a health issue. An example is to have them inhale a digestive essential oil after they eat, when they don't have any digestive issues. This is not recommended.this is probably obvious to most of us, but it goes without saying: do not add essential oils to your dog's food or drinking wateravoid using essential oils with puppies under 10 weeks of age – use hydrosols instead. Selecting which essential oils to use – Zoopharmacognosy Caroline Ingraham is recognized as the go-to expert when it comes to using essential oils with animals."

A cat bite wound can turn into a serious infection within 12 hours after the biting and over 40% of wounds get infected. Signs of Infection The symptoms of an infected cat bite are swelling, redness, puss in the area and a fever. An infected wound needs immediate medical attention to avoid severe complications such as bone infections or gangrene. Antibiotics Are the First Choice Antibiotics are the best way to get rid of an infection. The doctor will prescribe oral antibiotics at first. Strong antibiotics such as penicillin or augmentin are recommended and in case the infection is severe, you will receive intravenous antibiotics. The intravenous treatment gets immediately in your blood stream and can help fight the infection more efficiently. Alternative Remedies If you are looking for alternative medicine solutions for your infected cat bite, you could use a simple naturist remedy. Grate a few carrots and press these on and around your wound."

Fresh whole foods such as fruits and vegetables, dairy and meat, healthy oils, herbs and spices offer our dogs digestible, nutrient rich food without the dangerous ingredients, additives, toxins and carcinogens found in many pet store food products. My dogs are raw fed - meat, organs, bone, fresh raw fruit, fresh greens, sprouts, herbs, and vegetables. Feeding your dog fresh whole foods as part of a balanced diet can have a profoundly positive affect on a dog's overall health and can be a great aid in avoiding, treating and remedying many health issues - for example periodontal problems and GI tract problems. Protein Meat is a rich source of protein, amino acids and contains many nutrients necessary for the health of dogs. Protein is the primary and species appropriate food for a dog. Dogs can survive without carbohydrates but they cannot survive without protein and fat in their diet. Organically raised, pasture fed chemical free (no antibiotics, no growth hormones, none GMO grain feed, etc) raised is always a better choice than meat coming from farms that use antibiotics, steroids, pesticide and herbicide, GMO feed. Some people like to feed their dog raw meat, while others prefer to provide their dog with cooked meat. I feed my dogs cooked meat rather than raw meat."

We’ve assembled a list of 9 foods you should avoid feeding your ferret to ensure they remain happy and healthy. Dog food or adult cat food While it is certainly convenient and cheap to feed your ferret food designed for other species, they do have unique nutritional needs. Ferrets are true carnivores and are not built to digest fiber. They need lots of meat protein and fat. Ensure that the food you feed has meat as the primary ingredient. Kitten food is higher in protein and fat than dog and adult cat food and is the only non-ferret diet that is “recommended” to those who cannot provide a balanced raw diet. If you are looking for further advice on the optimum diet and nutrition for your Ferret check out our article on Ferret Food: A Recipe for Success. Cooked bones Just like dogs and cats, cooked bones should never be fed to ferrets. They are perfectly capable of digesting small raw bones, but the cooking process makes the bones hard and indigestible and prone to forming sharp fragments which can damage your ferret’s digestive system."

Ingredients Fruit Vegetables Steps1 For apples, peaches, pears, plums & Apricots, cut the fruit into eighths, remove the core/pit and the stalk, and any stickers.2 For cherries, simply cut in half to remove the pit and stalk.3 Bananas are not so tricky, simply cut the end off if you prefer, as horses can eat the skin.4 Blackberries, blueberries and strawberries are fine how they are, but you can take the top off strawberries.5 Cantaloupe and Watermelons are trickier, you need to cut it in half, take the amount you need off, remove the rind if you want, but horses will gladly eat the rind. Remove any seeds, and the core. You can also buy seedless watermelons. Cut into smallish chunks .6 Coconut should be opened, then the flesh taken out. Horses cannot eat the husk. Pieces should be small.7 Pineapples should have the core and skin removed. It should then be sliced into rings, turned into quarters, making small pieces.8 Oranges should have the skin removed, then cut in half, then in half twice more to make eighths.9 For carrots, parsnips and cucumbers, slice in half lengthwise, and then widthwise, this will prevent it getting stuck, like it would with circular pieces. If the veggie is large, cut the length in half as well. Should make 4/8 sections depending on length.10 Corn should be sliced off the cob, then fed to the horse."

However, such a small breed is usually a bit more delicate, so it's important to take special care of your Netherland to keep him as healthy as possible. Proper Housing for Your Netherland Dwarf There are a lot of points to consider when setting up an appropriate habitat for a Netherlands Dwarf rabbit. Size and location are two prime concerns, but sticking to a cleaning schedule is also highly important. Cage Size Although Netherland Dwarf rabbits are one of the smallest breeds of rabbits, they still need plenty of room to live. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR) recommends a larger cage size of 4 x 2 x 2 feet, which offers more room for exercise. You may choose a cage with a wire or solid bottom, just as long as you make sure there's an area where the rabbit can be off the wire to rest his feet. The spacing on a wire bottom should be no more than 1/4 inch between bars. Outdoor hutches typically provide a completely enclosed area where the rabbit can enjoy the grass, as well as a raised house where the rabbit can go inside for more protection. Keep the Cage Clean If you choose a solid bottom cage, your Netherland should be litter box trained to keep his cage cleaner."

The Truth: Reports that Halos Cuties are grown using wastewater from oil refineries can be traced back to mid-2015. The real question isn’t whether or not this occurs. The real question is whether or not treated wastewater from oil refineries is safe to use for crop irrigation, or if, as the rumor claims, it’s “toxic. ”Mother Jones broke news that food producers in southern California had been using oil wastewater to irrigate crops in July 2015. The story goes that California’s long drought, and regulations that prohibit oil companies from pumping wastewater from oil production back into the ground, have made a perfect recipe for oil wastewater irrigation, Mother Jones reports: The Cawelo Water District blends oil wastewater with water from other sources such as the Kern River before sending it to farms. Last month, Food & Water Watch received from the district the names and addresses of companies that use its water. A few examples of the brands owned or supplied by those companies are listed below (though some of their fruits and vegetables may come from other parts of the state). Halos mandarins, formerly marketed as Cuties, are grown by Wonderful Citrus, part of the farming mega-conglomerate owned by the Beverly Hills billionaires Stewart and Lynda Resnick. The Resnicks, who also own Fiji Water, POM Wonderful, and the world’s largest pistachio and almond growing operation, aremajor players in California water politics."

After all, she eats peanut butter regularly, right? But are cashews as healthy for her as they are for you? Health Benefits Cashews provide fiber and have nutrients beneficial to your furry friend. Cashews contain antioxidants and omega-6 fatty acids, which the ASPCA says that, in the correct balance with omega-3 fatty acids, help heal inflammation in the body. They also contribute to healthy skin and a soft, shiny coat. Cashews include calcium, copper, flavanols, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, vitamin K and zinc.

( Photo by Zen Sutherland)Ahhh, the sensations of summer…ocean sand between your toes, a cool drink in the shade, and red itchy welts courtesy of that three-leaved miscreant: poison ivy ( Toxicodendron radicans ). If you’ve had a run-in with poison ivy this summer or in summers past, here are a few interesting facts about this woody vine offered up by botanists Susan Pell, president of the Torrey Botanical Society, and Ken Wurdack, of the Botany Department at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History. Poison ivy belongs to the same plant family, Anacardiaceae, as mangos and cashews. All three of these plants produce urushiol, the compound that causes the itchy rash. People who chew the mango flesh from mango skins frequently get a blister rash on their lips. Pistachios also belong to this family but do not cause a rash. Poison oak and poison sumac are in the same genus as poison ivy. Every part of the poison ivy plant—leaves, stems, roots—is poisonous, so don’t burn it, Wurdack says. With burning, the urushiol becomes volatilized in the smoke and you can get it in your lungs, which is very dangerous and can even lead to death."

"text": "RECIPESFreshly Roasted Cashews? Roast Them Yourself By Edward Behr Freshly roasted cashews — barely colored, just cooled — combine that very soft cashew crunch, exceptional among nuts, with a distinctly buttery and faintly almond flavor, something I had never noticed until I roasted my own. Besides perfect freshness, the advantage to doing it yourself is that you can use as much or as little salt as you like, be sure that nothing extraneous is added, and get the exact degree of roast you want. Roasting your own ought to save money, but online prices for raw and roasted cashews are all over the map, so maybe not. The cashew tree originated on the northeastern coast of Brazil and now grows in various tropical countries. Among the many cultivars, unimproved ones have smaller and apparently tastier nuts, but those aren’t exported. On the tree, the nuts are very odd looking. A single kernel is enclosed within a curving greenish shell, which protrudes sensually from the bottom of the orange-red, fleshy cashew apple (the fruit’s sweet flesh makes an alcoholic drink). For all the countless references to “raw cashews,” they aren’t ever sold raw, because the shell contains a toxic chemical related to the poison in poison ivy. In order to make the shell brittle and easier to remove, the nuts are given a preliminary roasting, and then the skin is peeled too."

[ 1]Species See text Toxicodendron is a genus of flowering plants in the sumac family, Anacardiaceae. It contains woody trees, shrubs and vines, including poison ivy, poison oak, and the lacquer tree. All members of the genus produce the skin-irritating oil urushiol, which can cause a severe allergic reaction. The generic name is derived from the Greek words τοξικός ( toxikos ), meaning \"\"poison,\"\" and δένδρον ( dendron ), meaning \"\"tree\"\". [ 2] The best known members of the genus in North America are poison ivy (T. radicans), practically ubiquitous throughout most of eastern North America, and western poison oak ( T. diversilobum ), similarly ubiquitous throughout much of the western part of the continent. The genus is a member of the Rhus complex, and has at various times been categorized as being either its own genus or a sub-genus of Rhus. [ 3] There is evidence which points to keeping Toxicodendron as a separate monophyletic genus, but researchers have stated that the Toxicodendron and Rhus groups are complex and require more study to be fully understood.

Portuguese missionaries took it to East Africa and India during the late 16th century, where it became abundant at low altitudes near the seacoast. The tree produces wood that is useful in local economies for such practical items as shipping crates, boats, and charcoal as well as for a gum that is similar to gum arabic. The resin within the shells of the fruit is used as an insecticide and in the production of plastics; it also is important in traditional medicines. The cashew apple is used locally in beverages, jams, and jellies, though most cultivation is directed toward production of the valuable seed crop.

The MR Taste Test For when you’re ready to ditch soy Gabriella Gershenson 12.14.16Remember when we thought soy milk was so good for us that we ordered it in every coffee, poured it over our cereal every morning and then men started to get boobs? That was the moment when soy milk started to go downhill for me. But there’s a new non-dairy milk in town that’s filling the gaping, carton-shaped hole soy milk left behind. That would be almond milk. A recent Nielsen study reported that the vaguely nutty, vaguely milky liquid is now America’s favorite dairy substitute, while consumption of cow’s milk is steadily decreasing. If you’re not lactose intolerant, you may want to ask yourself why you’re drinking a dairy alternative. According to a recent article in The New York Times, the nutritional advantages of non-dairy milks aren’t all that apparent. When it comes to protein, plant-based milks fall short. They hardly contain any, while some have none at all. ("

The History of the Almond Tree An Almond Tree with ripening Almonds The History of the Black Walnut The Black Walnut Tree The History of the Cashew nut Tree The Cashew Tree The History of Cashew Tree The Cashew tree is originally native to northeastern Brazil, in the area between the Atlantic rain forest and the Amazon rainforest centered in the provinces known today as Ceara, Piaui and Rio Grande do Norte. Cashew’s English name derives from the Portuguese name given to the fruit of the cashew tree, caju, which in turn derives the name acajú given it by the indigenous Brazilian tribe called the Tupi. The Cashew tree was reportedly discovered in Brazil by the Portuguese colonists in 1578 and as the Portuguese colonization spread to Africa and India, the Portuguese brought the cashew tree to Mozambique, Africa and then India in the 16th century. It was initially planted by the Portuguese in these countries to reduce coastal erosion, not for fruit or nut production. The cashew tree flourishes in the sand of open beaches. Cashews spread out across the world following the path of Portugal’s spice trade outposts, from Africa to Indonesia. Cashew trees can thrive in hot humid regions and hence are distributed in countries near the equatorial region with most of the cashew producing countries found in those areas. Cashew trees grow between the latitudes of 25 degrees north and south of the equator."

Credit: Melchoir | Creative Commons Though you might think of it as just another nut in the trail mix, the cashew is a decidedly strange snack. Sprouting like a tail from the bottom of an oddly-shaped fruit, the cashew, in its natural state, is both very weird-looking and very poisonous. While many of the cashews produced for commerce come from Africa and India, the cashew tree ( Anacardium occidentale) is native to tropical regions of Brazil. The tree produces a long, fleshy stalk, called a cashew apple, which resembles a small pear. At the end of this stalk grows the kidney-shaped cashew nut that many know and love. Cashew nuts are protected from hungry passerby by a double shell containing a potent poison called anacardic acid. This oily substance— closely related to urshiol, the toxic compound found in poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac— acts as an irritant, causing an allergic rash on the skin. Its corrosive coating is the reason that cashew nuts are not sold in their shells like pistachios or peanuts."

Answer: This is the popular name for the allergic reaction some people experience when their skin is exposed to mango sap or the skins of the fruit. An itchy rash develops and progresses into fluid-filled blisters that itch and ooze. Your dermatologist calls this an acute allergic contact dermatitis. Typically, symptoms develop several hours after exposure, build to a peak within two to five days, and clear up in about three weeks. Q: Why does mango cause this skin irritation? A: Some people are allergic to a chemical substance called urushiol -- a mixture of compounds found in the sap of the mango tree. Exposure occurs when handling freshly picked mangos that have juice dripping from the stem ends."

Contact dermatitis is an allergic reaction to something that irritates the skin and is manifested by one or more lines of red, swollen, blistered skin that may itch or seep.

Castor bean plants, on the other hand, have star power. What gives Ricinus communis (which is the botanical name) its star power? Let's consider the three T's: tall, toxic, and tropical. It is because castor beans possess these three qualities (and more) that they are such interesting plants. Tall, Dark, and Handsome? Grown during the summer in a Northern landscape, these fast-growers will typically reach a height of 6-10 feet (occasionally becoming as tall as 15 feet when started early in a greenhouse and provided with ideal conditions)."

And would be very hard to extract from Castor beans. However if you interested, there is a certain substance called Abrin, which is water-soluble, it does not polymerize easily and is not particularly volatile, compared to ricin. What makes it more interesting, is that it twice more fatal and toxic than ricin, having similar effects on humans. Dosage of lethal poison in micrograms per kilo is even less that of ricin. And would less likely result in your death during the experiment, due to its stability."

When you call the poison centre, be prepared to give the following information:your child's ageany symptoms or illness your child displaysthe name of plant (if you know it) – the poison specialists at the centre cannot identify plants over the phonehow much and what parts were eatenhow recently the plant was eaten or touched. The poison specialist will tell you what to do and what symptoms to watch for. Remember, each child can react differently to the same plant. You can take a photo of what was eaten or touched to show your doctor. How to prevent poisoning from plants To be safe, keep all plants, berries, seeds, and bulbs out of reach of young children. When outdoors, teach your child to stay away from plants and not to eat any non-food items. Make sure you and your child’s caregivers know the names of all plants and trees inside and outside your home. It’s a good idea to leave the tags on all items you bring home from a plant nursery. If you don’t know the names, an expert from a plant nursery may be able to help you identify the plant and give you a tag to place near your plant."

A swollen tongue can result from such abnormal processes as infection, inflammation, allergy, genetic disorders, trauma, malignancy and metabolic diseases. Some causes of a swollen tongue are serious, even life-threatening, such as a anaphylactic reaction. Other causes may be relatively mild, such as a small laceration or contusion due to the biting of the tongue. Glossitis causes a swollen tongue due to a variety of infectious or inflammatory conditions. Infectious conditions include a tongue bacterial infection, yeast infection or viral infection, such as herpes simplex.

For this end poison has always been a popular, if not a little sophisticated, choice.

Poisoning has long been a popular way to murder those around you and the choice of assassins. It is subtle – hard to detect, effective and the culprit doesn’t even have to be on the scene of the crime. There is also the advantage that you don’t need strength or skill plus it’s great if you are a little squeamish about killing people.

Castor Bean Information Castor bean plants ( Ricinus ommunis) are native to the Ethiopian region of Africa but have been naturalized in warm climates all over the world. Commonly found in the wild along stream banks, riverbeds on low lying areas, this aggressive vine is the source of one of nature’s best natural oils, castor oil. As far back as 4,000 B. C., castor beans have been found in ancient Egyptian tombs. The valuable oil from this tropical beauty was used thousands of years ago to light lamp wicks. Castor bean plantation businesses still exist today, though mainly in tropical regions. Many varieties of ornamental castor beans are available and make a bold statement in any garden.

Ricin is a protoplasmic poison prepared from castor beans after the extraction of castor oil therefrom. It is most effective as a poison when injected intravenously or inhaled, the latter requiring extreme comminution and small particle size to be effective. It is believed that the toxic action is catalytic rather than stoichiometric which probably accounts for the high toxicity of the agent. Because of its relative instability, ricin must be handled with extreme care. In neutral aqueous solution it is stable only up to 60-75 C., and in solid form up to 100110 0, although for short exposures, temperatures up to 130 may be tolerated. It is sensitive to acids, alkalis and halogen and may also be inactivated by mechanical working such as grinding or pulverizing. These factors are of great importance in developing a satisfactory method for preparing the material."

The castor oil plant, Ricinus communis, is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. It belongs to a monotypic genus, Ricinus, and subtribe, Ricininae. The evolution of castor and its relation to other species is currently being studied. [ 1]Its seed is the castor bean which, despite its name, is not a true bean. Castor is indigenous to the southeastern Mediterranean Basin, Eastern Africa, and India, but is widespread throughout tropical regions (and widely grown elsewhere as an ornamental plant). [ 2]Castor seed is the source of castor oil, which has a wide variety of uses. The seeds contain between 40% and 60% oil that is rich in triglycerides, mainly ricinolein. The seed contains ricin, a toxin, which is also present in lower concentrations throughout the plant. Another plant species, Fatsia japonica, is similar in appearance and is known as the false castor oil plant.

While some plants are outright toxic to anyone who eats or comes in contact with the plant (Jimson Weed, nightshade), others may cause a reaction in some but not in others. The following is a listing of plants normally thought to be poisonous. The list is not complete. People should not eat plants not grown as food crops. Children should be taught never to eat non-food crop plants. And you should restrict your pets’ access to questionable plants. Poisonous plants vary between animals. Don’t assume that since a bird, squirrel or pig ate a plant with no problems, others (human or rabbit) can do the same. Unless otherwise stated, consider all parts of the plant poisonous."

You are probably aware that castor oil is regarded by some as a remedy for constipation remedy. But you may not be aware of its reported use as an antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal, or that it has been used topically to treat a variety of skin conditions, reduce pain, and stimulate your immune system. Read on, because I'm about to explore the myth and mystery of this unusual oil, and of course, investigate what modern science has to say about it. However, regardless of what some of the research has suggested, you should be very cautious when experimenting with castor oil since the science is sparse at best, and there are several known reports of unpleasant side effects experienced by some users. History of the Castor Seed: Ricinus Communis Castor oil comes from the castor seed 1, Ricinus communis, which has a very unusual chemical composition. Castor oil is a triglyceride, comprised of fatty acids, 90 percent of which is ricinoleic acid. This unique fatty acid is found in lower concentrations in a few other seeds and oils (0.27 percent in cottonseed oil and 0.03 percent in soybean oil 2) and is thought to be responsible for castor oil's unique healing properties. The castor seed plant is native to India. Centuries ago, the plant was referred to as \"\"Palma Christe\"\" because the leaves were said to resemble the hand of Christ."

"text": "Castor oil is one of the most widely used plant extracts in the world. The plant hails from the warm regions of India, and now grows in most Mediterranean and tropical zones. The largest exporters of castor oil include India, Brazil and China, and it is one of the primary exports of Ethiopia. Castor seeds have been found inside ancient Egyptian tombs and the plant’s medicinal properties have been written about by Herodotus, an ancient Greek Historian. The castor plant is a large, leafy, tropical-looking plant with red or green “beans.” The castor bean is not a true bean; it is a thick round seed with small bumps on the surface. The seeds and possibly leaves (depending on the plant’s growth) of the castor bean plant are poisonous, containing ricin proteins. In fact, raw castor beans can cause illness and even kill a child. The seeds of the plant contain approximately 60% vegetable oil, which is rich with ricinolein, a glyceride of ricinoleic acid. This is the part that is extracted for manufacturing."

Though cat eye glasses were around since the 1950's, they reached their peak popularity when Audrey Hepburn wore a pair in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's. They then spiraled out of control, keeping fashion designers busy trying to figure out who could create the most creative designs, often adding rhinestones and other jewels. Cat eye glasses became the fashion accessory of the next decade.

"text": "What Is Nuclear Sclerosis? Nuclear sclerosis is the cloudiness of the eye lens that affects many animals and some humans. Animals like cats, dogs and horses are all affected by this eye condition. It is a result of aging process of the lens. The nucleus, which is the central part of the lens gets dense and looks like a grey haze inside the eye. In a vet practice, it is also referred to as lenticular sclerosis or old eye. How is it formed? New lens fibers are formed in the periphery of the lens throughout the life. But as the lens ages, the newly formed fibers push the outermost portion of the old fibers inwards, thus causing the inner portion of the lens to become cloudy and denser. However, unlike cataract, in this condition the normal arrangements of lens fibers are not affected or disrupted thus do not have any impact on the vision."

A calm and trusting cat shows their love or approval of humans by slowly closing their eyes in a slow blink. We can return the ‘kitty kiss” by slowly blinking back. If you wear glasses remove them first so the cat can clearly see your eyes. As a life long cat lover I’d noticed this behavior but never thought to give it a name but Anitra Frazier did. Over thirty years ago she wrote about the slow blink in her book The Natural Cat. Her updated book is The Natural Cat: The Comprehensive Guide to Optimum Care Then along came Jackson Galaxy and his show My Cat From Hell which popularized the slow blink. Less famous cat behaviorists like myself would love to see the whole world slow blinking with their cats. It’s a great way to deepen the human/cat bond. Cats with trust issues will not return a slow blink and often avert their gaze."

"text": "\"Aventurine Gemstone Information About Aventurine - History and Introduction Aventurine is a gemstone variety of quartz characterized by its translucency and sparkly metallic inclusions. Glittery inclusions are typically composed of muscovite mica, which usually results in medium to dark green aventurine stones with a silvery green or blue sheen. The metallic inclusions give aventurine quartz a unique sparkling iridescent effect, known as 'aventurescence'. The remarkable optical effect is owed to traces of muscovite mica, and often hematite or goethite. Aventurine typically ranges from light- to dark-green in color. Aventurine's color is caused by trace elements of fuchsite in otherwise colorless quartz. Fuchsite is a chromium-rich variety of muscovite. Aventurine is often so heavily included with fuchsite, that it is technically defined as a rock and not a mineral. Despite this technicality, aventurine is still classified as quartz by most, who consider fuchsite to be only an inclusion within the quartz.

But in many ways, they are more popular than ever, despite recent innovations in contact lenses and vision correction surgery. Frame styles branded with high profile designer names like Calvin Klein, Jones New York, and Marc Jacobs continue to be in demand. And even for youngsters who might ordinarily dread the \"\"nerd\"\" factor of wearing eyeglasses, popular fiction characters like the bespectacled young wizard, Harry Potter, have become role models. Eyeglass Frame Materials Eyeglass frame materials, too, have been revolutionized with the advent of new plastics and various types of metals. Frames generally are fabricated from plastic or metal, but a wide variety of materials can be used, depending on the desired characteristics of the frame. For example, for safety glasses, you may require a durable, lightweight frame material, such as polycarbonate. If you suffer from skin allergies, you probably should look for eyeglass frames made of hypoallergenic materials, such as titanium or stainless steel, to avoid a skin condition known as contact dermatitis. Some eyeglass frames have components that can be snapped into place, rather than attached by screws or other means."

"text": "\"Catfish Rods: The Ultimate Guide To Catfish Rodsby Chad Ferguson 39 Comments Catfish rods are a segment of catfishing gear that I wasted a lot of money on over the years. I’ve wasted more money on catfish rods that weren’t a good “fit” than any other area of catfish gear so I created this guide, the Ultimate Guide To Catfish Rods. Some of this was due to poor research on my part, some was due to manufacturer defects or deficiencies. Much of this was due to changes in fishing style and really getting a firm understanding of what a fishing rod can and cannot do, along with how to leverage every single aspect of the fishing rod. The end goal is to have a set of catfish rods that’s ideal for every catfishing technique and species. Here’s what I’m looking for when choosing catfish rods: Performs under the stress and abuse that it’ll take from trophy blues and flatheads Is light enough to “finesse fish” and catch 1–5 pound catfish Holds up well and takes repeated long term abuse (I don’t “baby” my catfishing gear)Cost effective (as much as I would like to be able to buy $250 fishing rods, I can’t/won’t)The Ultimate Guide To Catfish Rods covers exactly what you need to know about choosing the right catfish rods. As a professional catfish guide I rely on having the right gear to put fish in the boat and do so as efficiently as possible. Rather than wasting money on buying the wrong gear, you can use my experience as a guide. The Big Catfish Rod Mistake Most anglers who begin targeting catfish go out to their local bait and tackle shop and but the first fishing rod they can find that says “catfish” somewhere on the rod. These come from a variety of manufacturers and in a variety of shape sizes and colors."

So, the next time you're getting ready and you go to reach for your contacts, don't! Instead, use these insider tips from Stila Cosmetics pro makeup artist Sarah Lucero that'll help you avoid annoying makeup mishaps and look hot in your glasses no matter what.1. Opt for sparkly navy or deep burgundy liner instead of black, since these colors are flattering on everyone. Black liner or shadow can be too heavy for most girls with glasses, but a sparkly navy or a deep burgundy liner, like the deep burgundy Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner by Stila, is warmer and makes everyone look good, no matter what skin tone or hair color you have. These hues give enough power and definition, all while brightening up your eyes and giving you a cool, on-trend look.2. Switch your look up for Saturday night with a sultry, smoky burgundy eye. For nighttime, who woudn't want to wear a super sultry eye out with your girls? But the best way to achieve this look with glasses is by skipping eye shadow and smudging a liner in a warm color such as a deep plum close to your lash line for a sexy effect. Again, forgo black liner or shadow shades, since they might be a bit much when magnified."

First is the manufacturer’s literature that gives performance specifications, and second is the advice you receive from the various stove dealers you visit. Speaking of dealers, you might think a dealer just wants as much of your money as possible, and there is some truth to that of course, but the reality is more complex. The experienced dealer wants you to be so happy with your purchase that you will tell your friends so they will buy too. That means the good dealer will make every effort to meet your objectives with the right stove because no dealer wants you to come back complaining that the stove is to big, too small, or otherwise unsuitable. A good dealer can be your most valuable resource. Beware of dealers who don’t heat their own houses with wood and don’t have operating wood stoves in their showrooms – their advice is not worth much and may be worse than nothing. Hint: the staff of big box stores don't usually know much about wood heating products, so be skeptical of any advice you receive from them. Once you collect a few stove brochures you’ll notice the standard pieces of information that are provided and some of these can help you with your purchase decision.

"text": "Abhishek Garai, Scientist at Pharmaceuticals (2016-present)Answered Mar 11, 2017 · Author has 175 answers and 319.1k answer views What Are Enzymes? Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts within living cells. Catalysts increase the rate at which chemical reactions occur without being consumed or permanently altered themselves. A chemical reaction is a process that converts one or more substances (known as reagents, reactants, or substrates) to another type of substance (the product). As a catalyst, an enzyme can facilitate the same chemical reaction over and over again. Structure and Function Like all proteins, enzymes are composed of one or more long chains of interconnected amino acids. Each enzyme possesses a unique sequence of amino acids that causes it to fold into a characteristic shape. An enzyme's amino acid sequence is determined by a specific gene in the cell's nucleus. This ensures that each copy of the enzyme is the same as all others. On the surface of each enzyme is a special cleft called the active site, which provides a place where reagents can 'meet' and interact."

"text": "\"Catalyst A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction. A catalyst will appear in the steps of a reaction mechanism, but it will not appear in the overall chemical reaction (as it is not a reactant or product). Generally, catalysts alter the mechanism of the reaction in a substantial way such that the new barriers along the reaction coordinate are significantly lower. By lowering the activation energy, the rate constant is greatly increased (at the same temperature) relative to the uncatalyzed reaction. There are many types of catalysts in the world. Many reactions are catalyzed at the surface of metals. In biochemistry, enormous numbers of reactions are catalyzed by enzymes. Catalysts can either be in the same phase as the chemical reactants or in a distinct phase. Catalysts in the same phase are called homogeneous catalysts, while those in different phases are called heterogeneous catalysts. For example, if we have Pt metal as a catalyst for the reaction of hydrogen gas and ethene gas, then the Pt is a heterogeneous catalyst."

"text": "\"Reaction Rate Last updated April 5, 2016 5:15:35 PM PDT Share Table of contents Chemical reactions vary greatly in the speed at which they occur. Some are essentially instantaneous, while others may take years to reach equilibrium. The Reaction Rate for a given chemical reaction is the measure of the change in concentration of the reactants or the change in concentration of the products per unit time. Definition of reaction rate The speed of a chemical reaction may be defined as the change in concentration of a substance divided by the time interval during which this change is observed: (2-1) rate For a reaction of the form, the rate can be expressed in terms of the change in concentration of any of its componentsin which Δ [A] is the difference between the concentration of A over the time interval t 2 – t 1: (2-2) Δ A A ANotice the minus signs in the first two examples above. The concentration of a reactant always decreases with time, so and are both negative. Since negative rates do not make much sense, rates expressed in terms of a reactant concentration are always preceded by a minus sign to make the rate come out positive. Consider now a reaction in which the coefficients are different: It is clear that decreases three times as rapidly as, so in order to avoid ambiguity when expressing the rate in terms of different components, it is customary to divide each change in concentration by the appropriate coefficient: (2-3) rate Example 1For the oxidation of ammoniait was found that the rate of formation of N 2 was 0.27 mol L –1 s –1. At what rate was water being formed? At what rate was ammonia being consumed? SOLUTIONa) From the equation stoichiometry, Δ [H 2 O] = 6/2 Δ [N 2 ], so the rate of formation of H 2 O is3 × (0.27 mol L –1 s –1) = 0.81 mol L –1 s –1.b) 4 moles of NH 3 are consumed for every 2 moles of N 2 formed, so the rate of disappearance of ammonia is2 × (0.27 mol L –1 s –1) = 0.54 mol L –1 s –1."

"text": "\"Home »Chemistry Four Ways to Speed Up a Chemical Reaction By Vaibhav Rakesh; Updated January 30, 2018A chemical reaction occurs when the molecules of the reactants collide with one another in the reacting environment. The rate at which a reaction occurs depends on the rate of the collision of the molecules, and the collision rate depends on various factors, which can be altered to change the rate of a reaction. The reaction rate can be increased by the action of one or more of these factors. Use a Catalyst A catalyst is a substance that can alter the rate of a chemical reaction. Catalysts can be successfully used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Also, catalysts are subjective in nature, i.e., a catalyst works specifically on certain reactions only. A catalyst is not consumed in the reaction, and it does not change the products of the reaction. For example, decomposition of potassium chlorate starts at 392 degrees Fahrenheit in the presence of manganese dioxide as a catalyst. Otherwise, in the absence of the catalyst, this reaction is a slow process, which starts at 715 degrees Fahrenheit Increase the Temperature For most chemical reactions, temperature is directly proportional to the rate of the chemical reaction. Therefore, increasing the temperature increases the rate of the reaction to a certain extent, but precaution is needed while increasing the temperature of the reaction to avoid accidents."

Lactic acid can be formed by fermentation of sugars by microorganisms or synthetically from petroleum. Lactic acid is polymerized via sequential condensation reactions with a catalyst between 130-160 C. Polylactic acid is currently in first generation large scale production using corn starch as a feedstock. An agroecological approach is proposed to use open source technology to produce lactic acid from a variety of agricultural feedstocks, purify the lactic acid with import replaceable membranes, and polymerize the product with minimal costly catalyst. Initial feedstocks will be converted to input lactic acid by microorganismal fermentation. Bacillus coagulans is proposed as a LA bacterial strain for its thermophilicity, homolactic capabilities, high productivity, and ability to use pentose sugars. A fermentation chamber is in the research and development phase and will be used to conduct batch-fed or continuous fermentation.

HOW IT WORKSAmino Acids, Proteins, and Biochemistry Amino acids are organic compounds made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and (in some cases) sulfur bonded in characteristic formations. Strings of 50 or more amino acids are known as proteins, large molecules that serve the functions of promoting normal growth, repairing damaged tissue, contributing to the body's immune system, and making enzymes. The latter are a type of protein that functions as a catalyst, a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without participating in it. Catalysts, of which enzymes in the bodies of plants and animals are a good example, thus are not consumed in the reaction.

"text": "A low-temperature oxidation catalyst used to convert carbon monoxide to non-toxic carbon dioxide at room temperature. It can also remove formaldehyde from the air. Catalysis is the change in speed (rate) of a chemical reaction due to the help of a catalyst. Unlike other chemicals which take part in the reaction, a catalyst is not consumed by the reaction itself. A catalyst may participate in many chemical reactions. Catalysts that speed the reaction are called positive catalysts. Catalysts that slow the reaction are called negative catalysts, or inhibitors. Substances that increase the activity of catalysts are called promoters, and substances that deactivate catalysts are called catalytic poisons. A catalyst is something which changes the rate of a chemical reaction. An example is when manganese oxide (Mn O 2) is added to hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and the hydrogen peroxide starts to break up into water and oxygen."

"text": "\"Home » Metals » Uses of Silver The Many Uses of Silver By Emily Claire FerréUses of silver: Historically, silver has been used in coins, silverware, and jewelry, but today, these uses account for less than half of all silver consumption. Silver has become a material of innovation that appears in many unexpected places. Images copyright i Stockphoto / Jorge Farres Sanchez, Tatiana Buzuleac, Nigel Spooner, and Stephanie Frey. The White Metal Silver, the white metal, has an illustrious reputation for its use in jewelry and coins, but today, silver's primary use is industrial. Whether in cell phones or solar panels, new innovations are constantly emerging to take advantage of silver's unique properties. Silver is a precious metal because it is rare and valuable, and it is a noble metal because it resists corrosion and oxidation, though not as well as gold. Because it is the best thermal and electrical conductor of all the metals, silver is ideal for electrical applications. Its antimicrobial, non-toxic qualities make it useful in medicine and consumer products. Its high luster and reflectivity make it perfect for jewelry, silverware, and mirrors. Its malleability, which allows it to be flattened into sheets, and ductility, which allows it to be drawn into thin, flexible wire, make it the best choice for numerous industrial applications."

"text": "Cumene Badger cumene technology produces cumene from benzene and propylene. The reactions take place in the liquid phase and are catalyzed in fixed beds by proprietary zeolite catalysts available through Exxon Mobil. The technology is flexible and can produce cumene from a variety of propylene sources including refinery, chemical and polymer grades. The conversion of propylene is typically higher than 99.999%, and the yield loss is typically less than 0.3% of the total raw materials consumed. Product purity above 99.97% weight has been regularly achieved in commercial operation. Benzene in stoichiometric excess is required for cumene synthesis; the excess benzene is recovered by distillation and recycled to the reactors. The cumene process licensed by Badger uses an extremely low benzene to propylene (B/P) ratio in the alkylator feed and an extremely low benzene to PIPB ratio in the transalkylator feed, resulting in very low equipment cost and fuel consumption. The Exxon Mobil catalysts are noncorrosive, environmentally inert, and regenerable. These catalysts are free flowing before and after use and require no special packaging or handling. Offsite regeneration is typically the preferred method due to the long cycle length."

"text": "Hybrid Surgical Procedures The convergence of surgery and imaging is most commonly seen in Interventional Radiology procedures such as peripheral radiographic angiography and neuroangiography. Also, in interventional cardiology procedures such as cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology (EP) studies. In addition, a host of endoscopic, endovascular and transluminal procedures also integrate therapeutic interventions with various forms of image guidance, and are consequently also candidates for inclusion within the integrated interventional platform of a Hybrid Operating Suite. Hybrid Surgical Procedures include: Hybrid Aortic Arch Procedures Percutaneous LVAD- Tandem Heart Transcatheter Aortic Valves (TAVR & TAVI)Transcatheter Mitral Valve Procedures Hybrid CABG/PCIHybrid Aortic Valve /PCICompletion Angiography post CABGPeripheral Vascular Procedures Thoracic and Abdominal Aortic Endografting Hybrid catheter/thoracoscopic Maze for AFHybrid Endovascular Procedures VIDEO: Hybrid Operating Room Procedural Benefits by The Cleveland Clinic What are the benefits of the cardiovascular Hybrid OR Suite? The following benefits can be derived from the cardiovascular Hybrid OR Suite and they are: Minimally invasive surgery together with catheter-based image-guided intervention in the Hybrid OR Suite will allow for a safe and sterile environment and also allow a fully-integrated heart team comprising of interventional cardiologist, cardiac and vascular surgeons and anaesthetists backed by a full set of supporting staff to achieve better outcome and reduce operative mortality and morbidity and also reduction of major complications. The minimal invasive surgery also eliminates the need for big surgical openings and subsequent scars. Very high risk patients previously deemed unsuitable for surgical or catheter-based intervention especially the elderly patients with more complex heart and valvular diseases can now have these procedures done safely, as in case of complications, a conversion from cathether based intervention to full surgery is possible in the same room. Improved speed of recovery Saves time and money What type of procedures can be done in the cardiovascular Hybrid OR Suites? Often, aortic aneurysms are coincidentally diagnosed during a routine check up or a medical examination for some other reason. Once you are suspected with an aneurysm, your doctor will have to determine the location of the aneurysm, how fast it is growing and how serious the condition is."

"text": "Feature | Cath Lab Navigation Aids | September 21, 2016 | Dave Fornell Requirements for Interventional Echocardiographers Increase in transcatheter structural heart procedures is driving demand for ultrasound, TEE experts in the cath lab Transesophageal echo (TEE) has become an essential part of the new transcatheter structrual heart therapies, giving rise to a new sub-speciality of interventional echocardiography. The rapid growth of transcatheter structural heart procedures and the need for increased use of echocardiography as an integral part of the structural heart team, has given rise to the new subspecialty of interventional echocardiography. While interventional echo has been recognized with a growing number of specialty training sessions provided by the American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) and Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) annual meetings, the requirements for these specialists are still evolving. With the rise of transcatheter structural heart repair procedures over the past few years, cardiac ultrasound, especially 3-D/4-D transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), has become extremely important to guide these procedures. Operators say it helps with transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR), and is a requirement to perform procedures such as Mitra Clip repairs, left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusions, septal defect closures and transcatheter paravalvular leak repairs. TEE also is expected to be the primary image guidance modality used for transcatheter mitral valve and tricuspid valve repair and replacement technologies now in trials. What are the Qualifications“I think this is the advent of a new subspecialty for us and I think we are still in the development phase of what is needed for the qualifications of the individual that is going to participate in these procedures,” said Rebecca Hahn, M. D., FASE, Columbia University Medical Center, New York, and a key thought leader on interventional echo. She said details of what qualifies someone as an echocardiographer for interventional work still need to be standardized, such as how many and what types of procedures they need before they are considered proficient. She said some large-volume centers like Columbia have created fellowship programs for interventional echo in structural heart, which is helping define the subspecialty.

"text": "Both buyers and sellers experienced a healthy environment this year. Clyde A. Burkhardt December 3, 2012 Business Despite the challenges and uncertainties medtech companies faced this year—which include the slow and cumbersome U. S. regulatory system, lack of a permanent R&D tax credit, and the anticipated 2.3% excise tax on the medical device industry—mergers and acquisitions remained strong in 2012. Major medtech companies made transactions across most medical device and diagnostics segments this year, and cross-border transactions were also strong. HT Capital Advisors tracked more than 200 M&A transactions in the medical device and diagnostics space for the first 10 months of 2012, compared with more than 260 transactions tracked in all of 2011. The average transaction value, based on publicly available data on 75 transactions, was $178 million, compared with $195 million for the prior year, based on publicly available data on 116 transactions. Seven transactions were valued at $1 billion or more, compared with eight in the previous year and four in 2010. Big Deal in Cancer Diagnostics In a major diversification move, the $6.6-billion sales giant Agilent Technologies acquired Denmark-based Dako, a leader in tissue-based cancer diagnostics. Dako was sold by Swedish private equity firm EQT, which acquired it in 2007. The purchase price was $2.2 billion (5.8 × sales of $340 million). For comparison, consider that Roche Holding acquired Ventana Medical Systems for $3.4 billion (10.2 × sales of $290 million) in 2008."

I am familiar with angioseal and the standard angiogram seal, but not perclose. Heaven forbid that we may actually get inserviced on it before 9 out 10 heart caths get brought up to us with it. I am particularly interested in complications percentages and any tips to tell patients. Thanks8 Comments Topic Closed Mar 6, '01Perclose was introduced at our facility a few months back, and we frequently have cases on our floor for us to monitor overnight as the patients also frequently receive IV anti-platelet inhibitors (such as Reapro, Integrilin, or Aggrastat) for 12-18 hours post-procedure. I have not personally seen or heard of any complications with Perclose. One nurse stated from her prior experience with Perclose that there is an increased risk for retroperitoneal bleeds. I am cautious, but so far I have not seen this. On the positive side, patients are up faster (bedrest up after only 2 or 3 hours!). With this procedure, as with all post-caths, carefully and frequently monitor pt hemodynamics and groin site (auscultate site for bruits), pulses, perfusion and over all skin appearance (skin pink, warm, dry)."

"text": "Feature | July 17, 2012 | Kamran Zamanian, Ph. D. Cardiac Stent Usage Among U. S. Cardiologists A recent statistically significant survey reveals stent preferences and key factors influencing this growing market As the average age of the U. S. population and the number of patients at high risk for cardiovascular disease increase, the usage of coronary stents continues to grow. Interventional cardiologists and registered nurses in the United States were recently asked about their perceptions and attitudes regarding current percutaneous coronary interventional (PCI) procedures and devices. They were also asked their stent brand and drug type preferences. In a statistically significant survey, they divulged which procedures and manufacturers they preferred. This window into micro-level stent usage offers informed insights into the overall market and reveals how dynamics between medical organizations and device manufacturers contribute to market trends. Procedures Performed Cardiologists in the United States perform four times as many PCI procedures as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedures, with an average of 11 each week. The procedure’s popularity has grown since its introduction in the late 1970s for numerous reasons. First, the procedures are performed percutaneously through the lumen of an artery and do not require open surgery. Additionally, they can be completed by many different medical professionals and require only a local anesthetic."

"text": "Cardiac Catheterization Cardiac catheterization is also called heart cath or cardiac cath. The procedure involves inserting a long, thin, flexible tube (catheter) into the heart. The catheter enters the body through a blood vessel, usually in the leg or arm. A doctor guides the catheter through the blood vessel toward the heart. Cardiac cath uses special x-ray equipment so your doctor can look at the whole procedure. When the catheter is inside the heart, the doctor uses it to inject dye into the blood vessels and chambers of the heart. The dye allows the x-rays to show the pumping action of the heart and how the heart valves work. It also shows how blood flows through the vessels that bring blood and oxygen to the heart muscle. These blood vessels are called coronary arteries. Your cardiologist uses this information to choose the best treatment for you."

[ 4] In 1899, the hospital itself was founded by What-so-ever Circle and moved to a seven-room building at 18th Street and Greenup Avenue. Ten years later, the hospital moved again to a nine-room building between 20th and 21st Street along Winchester Avenue. In 1915, the hospital purchased property at the northeast corner of 22nd Street and Lexington Avenue. [ 4] Two years later in November, it opened a new 50-bed facility in a two-story brick structure. An expansion in 1930–31 added an east wing, which was expanded again in 1945 and 1953, all to the east. [ 4]In 1958, that building closed (which is now known as Vincent Apartments), and a new administration building was completed across Lexington Avenue and the remainder of the hospital. [ 5]Developing into a modern facility [ edit]In 1963, the hospital began to study plans for a specialized Coronary Care Unit. ["

Okay, don't take this as gospel, because I was only told this, never looked it up. But apparently it's an older name for an IJ (central line). We have a doctor or two that still uses that name for it in their oders (i.e. D/C cordis). I hope someone corrects me if I'm wrong! ! Dec 4, '04It is just a really big central line, usually placed in the IJ. Our patients do not go to the floors with these in place and we are not allowed to do blood draws out of our cordis' per our hospital protocol just because it is a direct line straight to the heart...not the place you want to be introducing bugs to (not that you want to introduce bugs into any line...)Dec 4, '04a cordis is a large-bore, usually single-lumen central line. it can be placed ij, subclavian, or femoral."

"text": "Cardiac Cath Lab Nurse Cardiac Cath Lab Nurse Are in Demand What does the CCL nurse do? Nurses who work in the cardiac catheterization lab (CCL) will assist the doctor in performing interventional procedures like cardiac catheterizations, valvuloplasties, and angioplasties. Other procedures include inserting pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defirbrillators (ICDs). As an advocate for the patient, the nurse will greet the patient when they first come into the cath lab. He or she will answer questions and educate the patient about what is planned and make sure they have informed consent. Vital signs, oxygen, and heart rhythm are monitored continuously, and IVs and medicines are given per the doctor’s order. When the procedure is over, the nurse will stay with the patient until they are recovered and ready to return to the floor. The nurse will go with the patient by stretcher to the floor and give the receiving nurse report before returning to the cath lab. Education A registered nurse (RN) may be required to possess a BSN, but not always. New graduates are commonly asked to work on the general floor, CCU, ICU, or a cardiac floor of a hospital before being accepted as a CCL nurse."

Our staff of professionals ensures an excellent experience, and our advanced imaging technology provides the most detailed diagnostic heart information available. We understand that you may have questions about coronary heart disease and treatment. The following information will help you learn more about cardiac catheterization. Cardiac Catheterization The heart is the most important muscle you have. It pumps blood to every part of your body. It's divided into a left and right side, with each side playing a different role in the heart's main function. Also known as heart catheterization, cardiac catheterization is a test that allows your doctor to examine the chambers, valves and arteries of your heart. This test is conducted in a special room called the catheterization laboratory (cath lab). Using dye to highlight your veins and arteries, your doctor can view your heart in action with a type of X-ray machine called a fluoroscope."

"text": "Pulmonary Stenosis What is pulmonary stenosis? Click Image to Enlarge Pulmonary stenosis is a congenital (present at birth) defect that occurs due to abnormal development of the fetal heart during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. The pulmonary valve is found between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. It normally has 3 leaflets that function like a one-way door, allowing blood to flow forward into the pulmonary artery, but not backward into the right ventricle. With pulmonary stenosis, problems with the pulmonary valve make it harder for the leaflets to open and permit normal blood flow from the right ventricle to the lungs in a normal fashion. In children, these problems can include: A valve that has leaflets that are partially fused together. A valve that has thick leaflets that do not open all the way. Narrowing of the area above or below the pulmonary valve. There are four different types of pulmonary stenosis: Valvar pulmonary stenosis. The valve leaflets are thickened and/or narrowed Supravalvar pulmonary stenosis."

"text": "Feature | May 19, 2011 | Mike Rodman, Cath Lab Supervisor, Appleton Medical Center, Appleton, Wis., and Theda Clark Medical Center, Neenah, Wis. Door-to-Balloon Times: 60 Minutes or Less Lean management helps improve patient care in the cath lab by increasing efficiency Pre-hospital ECG transmissions helped Theda Care diagnose STEMI patients prior to arrival, allowing earlier cath lab activation. According to the American College of Cardiology (ACC), each year nearly 400,000 patients are admitted to U. S. hospitals with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). National ACC/American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines state that hospitals treating STEMI patients with emergency percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) should reliably achieve a door-to-balloon time (D2B) of 90 minutes or less, and studies have demonstrated strong associations between time to primary PCI and in-hospital mortality risk. However, reducing and sustaining D2B times can be challenging. To achieve this goal, Theda Care, a community health system consisting of four hospitals in northeast Wisconsin, underwent a complete cultural transformation to improve processes in the cath lab. Transforming a Culture: Going Lean to Improve STEMI Times For the past seven years, Theda Care has been working with a lean management consulting firm, Simpler Consulting, to coach hospital staff on the application of lean management skills to relieve overburdened employees, improve patient care and save dollars on the bottom line by applying a hospital-wide strategy that seeks improvement across the network. Since the lean implementation, Theda Care has experienced a total bottom-line savings of more than $27 million and has found success in countless departments of the hospital, including the cath labs at Appleton Medical Center and Theda Clark Medical Center. When Theda Care began its lean transformation in the cath labs in 2004, the national standard for D2B time from the ACC/AHA was 120 minutes. However, administration and staff were committed to doing better and set the ambitious goal of reducing D2B times to 90 minutes. Theda Care went to work and engaged key stakeholders, including cath lab and emergency department clinicians, administrators and emergency services personnel."

"text": "\"FAQAccess What is the most common length of sheath used in radial access and why? There have been studies and the longer sheath, the more sheath in the artery, the more intimal damage it can cause...therefore, use 12cm. But the most important is that it is coated. Bernadette Speiser, RN Jesse Brown Veterans Administration Medical Center Chicago, ILPlease discuss radial access setup through the left radial. Our institution uses the left radial artery frequently. We access the artery by standing on the left side of the patient with the arm extended. Once the sheath is in, we bring the arm parallel to the body and raised up on pillows. We then move to the patient's right side and do the procedure by reaching across the body. In non-emergent cases, where groin access for a support device is unlikely, we add additional operator radiation protection by draping a lead shield across the patient's groin so the operator's hands are protected. We avoid the practice of draping the patient's hand across their chest, as this makes it difficult for patients to keep the arm still."

In order to protect patients against infection rates and protect you and your family from the conditions you might encounter, an updated surgical attire policy will go into effect Monday, Sept. 2. This policy will affect physicians, vendors, students, employees and ancillary staff who work in the Cardiac Cath Lab, Interventional Radiology, Main Hospital Surgery, Pavilion Surgery, cardiovascular surgical suites and 7th Floor C-section suites. Thanks in part to North Kansas City Hospital's Ortho-Spine Co-Management group, who raised the issue, and Association of peri Operative Registered Nurses (AORN), who helped create the following policies for North Kansas City Hospital: Anyone entering or re-entering semi-restricted and restricted areas need to wear facility-owned, clean, freshly laundered or disposable surgical attire daily in a designated dressing area. 1Cloth head coverings may be worn only if a disposable bouffant hat is covering it and changed daily. It is possible for fabrics to become vectors for the spread of microorganisms. Therefore, healthcare professionals should change into street clothes whenever they leave the Hospital campus, or when traveling between buildings located on campus that requires you to go outside. Fannypacks, backpacks and briefcases should be non-porous and wiped down with a Cavi Wipe before being taken into the semi-restricted or restricted areas. 2All head and facial hair, including sideburns and the nape of the neck, should be covered when in the semi-restricted and restricted areas. 3Shoe covers or dedicated shoes for the area should be worn."

While only a small percentage of hospitals and other healthcare facilities are privileged to have these installed, those that are undergoing or planning future construction and renovation projects certainly have these in the mix. Booming business Surgical boom technology debuted in the early 1990s to much fanfare as a revolutionary answer to concerns about floor clutter, inefficient workflow and room size. \"\" In the early ’90s, the trend from healthcare clinicians was that they wanted booms and equipment ‘out of the way’ when they didn’t need them,\"\" said Randy Tomaszewski, vice president of marketing, Skytron, Grand Rapids, MI. \"\" Therefore, early boom floor-plan designs traditionally placed boom mounts to a far wall so that the equipment and services could be moved ‘out of the way’ when not in use. \"\" But that created two problems, according to Tomaszewski. \"\""

He asked me if I thought it was possible for a Catholic to also be a Christian. Here is my reply... Hello Ryan, Thank you for your e-mail and for visiting my website. Going to a Catholic church won't send a person to hell, just so long as they don't adhere to the damnable teachings of Catholicism. The false teachings of the Catholic church will definitely send a person to hell if they follow them. I'm certain that there are true believers who foolishly go to the Catholic church. It is possible for an immature believer to attend Catholic services, but it is wrong. Salvation is not dependent upon any works, only simple faith in Christ. Let me be clear...anyone who trusts in the seven sacraments, baptism, holy Eucharist, the pope, the priest, the church, good works, confession, the Rosary, Mother Mary, or self righteousness is NOT a Christian."

"text": "Has hell frozen over? By J. Peter Nixon | Print | Share Article Church teaching has shifted away from damnation and now focuses on salvation. Is that a good thing? To a young girl attending Catholic school in the 1940s, eternal damnation was no abstract concept. “ The nuns really terrified us,” says Pat Conroy, who grew up in Maryland. The list of potential transgressions—from eating meat on Fridays to missing Mass on Sundays—was long. “ It seemed like almost anything was enough to send you to hell. I became so scrupulous and worried about everything I did. ”“Hell was an important part of the religious landscape of my childhood,” recalls Peter Steinfels, who grew up in Chicago during the same period. “ It was the hell of endless flames and eternal punishment; although even in second and third grade I recognized that there was something mythical about this."

He stated that “God is love, period.” I understand and accept that “God is love” but what about His justice? Anonymous Dear Friend,Peace in Christ!The fact that God is love does not have an effect on the Church’s teaching on hell. First, there are several passages in Scripture that indicate there will indeed be people in hell, including: Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are there who enter by it. How narrow the gate and close the way that leads to life. And few there are who find it…. Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?” And then I will declare to them, “I never knew you; depart from me, you evildoers” (Mt 7:13-14, 21-23)."

She noticed that Anneliese would not walk past a certain image of Jesus, refused to drink water from a holy spring and smelled bad — hellishly bad. An exorcist in a nearby town examined Michel and returned a diagnosis of demonic possession. The bishop issued permission to perform the rite of exorcism according to the Roman ritual of 1614. Half a year and 67 rites of exorcism later, Anneliese Michel was dead at 23. Anneliese Michel did not die in the Middle Ages, but in 1976, in the small town of Klingenberg, in the heart of one of the most civilized and advanced countries in Europe: Germany. Two years after Michel’s death, a German court found her parents and the two priests involved guilty of negligent manslaughter and sentenced them to six months in prison, suspended with three years’ probation. What shocked Germany most was the fact that it could happen in a country that prides itself on being highly rational — and highly secularized. “The surprising thing was that the people connected to Michel were all completely convinced that she had really been possessed,” says Franz Barthel, amazement still in his voice three decades after he covered the story for the regional daily paper Main-Post. “Many years later, I visited the woman who first diagnosed the Devil,” Barthel says. “"

"text": "\"April 13, 2017The Meaning Behind ‘He Descended into Hell’Fr. William Saunders Q: What do we mean when we say in the Apostles’ Creed that Jesus descended into hell? In approaching this question, we must examine the word hell. Usually, when we hear the word hell, we immediately think of the place of eternal damnation for those who have rejected God in this life and have committed mortal sins without repentance. However, in the Old Testament, hell (or sheol in the Hebrew texts or hades in Greek texts) referred to “the place of the dead.” ( Interestingly, our English word hell is derived from a Germanic name for the place of the dead in Tuetonic mythology.) This hell was for both the good and the bad, the just and the unjust. It was the nether world, a region of darkness. In the later writings of the Old Testament, a clear distinction is made between where the good resided in hell versus where the bad were, the two being separated by an impassable abyss. The section for the unjust was named Gehenna, where the souls would suffer eternal torment by fire."

"text": "What happens when we die? What is the difference between the particular judgment and the final judgment? As Catholics, we believe that when a person dies, the soul separates from the body. He then stands before God in judgment. Remember that the soul is really “who” we are: while the body lies in death, our soul– who we are– lives on and returns to the Lord for judgment. The Catechism clearly teaches, “Each man receives his eternal retribution in his immortal soul at the very moment of his death, in a particular judgment that refers his life to Christ: either entrance into the blessedness of Heaven– through purification or immediately, – or immediate and everlasting damnation” (#1022). Let’s dissect this teaching: When we die, our soul stands in judgment immediately. We will have to account for our lives, for the good that we have done and for the sins we have committed. We call this the particular judgment because it is particular to each person. If we are free of all sin and the hurt caused by sin, we immediately will be welcomed into Heaven, where we will enjoy the beatific vision, seeing God face to face."

Many mental health professionals and religious historians believe that religion was created millennia ago as an attempt to explain how the universe works and what happens to people after death. Religions were originally developed so that people could have a sense of power over their life and environment.

The last scion and two prophets are sent by the seraph Metatron to stop them.

The Catholic tradition of purgatory teaches that, upon death, many souls enter a spiritual realm between heaven and hell during which their sins are dealt with until they are prepared to enter heaven.

Furthermore, Catholic tradition encourages the living to do works on behalf of the dead in order to improve the situation of those in purgatory. But what does the Bible say about purgatory? First, it must be clearly noted that the Bible does not teach purgatory. Catholic theologians typically refer to a book in the Apocrypha to support their belief in purgatory. In the Apocrypha, the book of 2 Maccabees states, \"\"Making a gathering . . . sent twelve thousand drachmas of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection (For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead).

Dreams and visions of the afterlife have been constants across human history, and the near-death experiences (now known as NDEs) of those whose lives were saved by medical advances have established, for millions, a credible means by which someone could peek into the next world. Lately a fair-sized pack of witnesses claim to have actually entered into the afterlife before coming back again to write mega-selling accounts of what they saw and felt there. Afterlife speculation has become a vibrant part of the zeitgeist, the result of trends that include developments in neuroscience that have inspired new ideas about human consciousness, the ongoing evolution of theology, both popular and expert, and the hopes and fears of an aging population. Heaven is hot again. And hell is colder than ever. Recent polls across the developed world are starting to tell an intriguing tale. In the U. S., religion central for the West, belief in heaven has held steady, even ticking upwards on occasion, over the past two decades. Belief in hell is also high, but even Americans show a gap between the two articles of faith—81 per cent believed in the former in 2011, as opposed to 71 per cent accepting the latter."

A very broad definition of limbo is “a zone which exists between two definite places.” The Bible does not give the name “limbo” to any specific place or realm, but various people have used the word “limbo” in various ways. One Roman Catholic tradition names a limbo for children who die before their baptisms or die outside of the Roman Catholic religion. There is no biblical support for this view. It is merely a religious opinion which has been handed down by Catholic theologians. For a study on the destiny of children who die, please read our article on the age of accountability. The closest biblical account for a “limbo” concerns “Abraham’s bosom” and “paradise” in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus ( Luke 16:19-31 )."

"text": "What is Essential Oils Allergy? There is a long list of potentially toxic essential oils that should be avoided when you have a cat in your home. Some of these essential oils are used in food additives, cleaning products, insect repellents and shampoos. Use caution when using these products or simply avoid products that contain these essential oils. Cats are very sensitive to smells and they will avoid areas that contain these oils. If you notice your cat avoiding certain rooms or areas, look around for the possible cause and remove any candles or products that contain essential oils. Some of the most common and toxic essential oils to cats include oregano, bay leaf, savory, cedar leaf, parsley, sage, hyssop, lavender, eucalyptus, Cyprus, mint, citronella, clove, caraway, ginger, chamomile, rosemary, pine, thyme, peppermint, lemon, tea tree oil, cinnamon bark oil, wintergreen and oils that contain phenols. Essential oils can be dangerous to cats as they are absorbed into the bloodstream and then metabolized in your cat’s liver because they do not have glucuronyl transferase, a liver enzyme. Most mammals have a natural detoxification mechanism called hepatic glucuronidation but cats do not have this. Whether ingested, inhaled or applied topically, cats are much more susceptible to essential oils than most other mammals."

By Petful March 1, 201670shares Slowly back away from the camera, fella. By: Mac Kinnon Photography/Flickr Many people worry that their dog’s nose is too dry, or too wet, or too warm, or too cool. Let’s face it: We worry when something is different or “off” about our pet. There are times when you will need to worry about a dry nose — and times when you don’t need to be too concerned about it. Reasons a Dog Might Have a Dry Nose1. The nose naturally gets dry during sleep. A lot of people worry that their dog’s nasal membrane is dry when the pet wakes up from a nap. But this is normal. When your dog sleeps, he stops licking at his nose."

Background Rhinitis is the medical term for inflammation of the nose. Viruses, bacteria, allergens, and irritants can cause inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes, which results in rhinitis. Once inflamed, the nose produces excessive mucus, which causes a runny nose, nasal congestion, and postnasal drip (when mucus drips from the sinuses, down the throat). Allergic rhinitis is one of the most common allergies. This type of rhinitis occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to allergen (a substance that can cause an allergic reaction), in this case, an airborne substance that is normally harmless, such as mold, pollen, animal dander, or dust mites. Once the allergen is inhaled through the nose, white blood cells of an allergic individual produce an antibody called immunoglobulin E (Ig E). This immunoglobulin attaches to the allergen, which triggers the release of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals that cause allergic rhinitis symptoms, such as runny nose and nasal congestion. Allergic rhinitis may occur as either acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). Acute rhinitis is short-term and classified as the common cold, while chronic rhinitis is recurrent, with periods of remission in between. Chronic rhinitis lasts three months or longer."

The thing is, ticks are not insects but are of arachnid family (like spiders with eight feet). They move fast and they love blood (both your pet’s and yours). The last thing pet owners want is to find out that their dogs or cats have become the new host of a tick infestation. This is why, most pet owners try to find the best way to deal with these nuisance before they actually climb onto their dog’s fur. Of course there are products out there that address the issue with just a drop of two, but unfortunately, these products contain harmful chemicals that do greater bad than good on our pets.

My dog Fritzi loves to roll around and jump through the high grass fields and unfortunatelly brings back home a lot of unwelcome friends – mainly ticks and sometimes fleas. For a long time now, we’ve been using “Frontline”, a vet recommended flea and tick protection. But as it happens so often, you don’t realize how bad something is until you inform yourself. And when I did, I found out, that a lot of those vet recommended tick and flea treatments are in fact dangerous for dogs. The active ingredients in Frontline might supposedly produce cancer, organ damage, nervous system damage, reproductive damage and skin problems. It was clear for me that I wanted to find an alternative to this chemical cocktail. Nevertheless, not protecting my dog against fleas and ticks was not an option either, since it is known that they can pass on diseases which might lead to death in some cases. On my research I came across different natural insect repellents like garlic, cedar oil, eucalyptus, and neem oil."

"text": "Pets Dogs My dog is wheezing what does that mean? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Dog wheezing sounds like a person who is having an asthma attack. It is therefore understandable that many dog parents find the wheezing sound coming from their dogs very alarming. A dog's airways are extremely delicate and sensitive. In a healthy dog, the airways expand and contract in such a way that the right amount of oxygen can get to the lungs. However, when there is a problem with the airways causing them to contract too much, oxygen has to squeeze its way through, making a high-pitched wheezing sound. Common Causes of Dog Wheezing Allergies Perhaps the most common cause of dog wheezing is some kind of airborne allergens, such as pollen, dust, cigarette smoke, etc. These allergens can irritate a dog's airways causing the dog to wheeze. Other substances that can also trigger dog wheezing as an allergic reaction include some pesticides, chemicals for household cleaning, and even insect stings and bites. Upper Respiratory Problems When a dog is suffering from some kind of upper respiratory problems that irritate the airways or cause chest congestion, the dog will wheeze too."

Natural cat treatments are awesome but remember that some products and even a number of essential oils are highly toxic to cats. I am sure that you don’t want to put your cat’s health at risk! Unfortunately, many people recommend them, I have even seen a number of fairly reputable websites saying that it’s perfectly safe. However, at the end of the day, it’s your job to protect your cats from these dangerous flea removal methods. In addition to all the skin problems that fleas can cause, fleas can use our cats as transportation around our home and lay their eggs in our carpets, couches and other places where they will hatch and potentially create a very unpleasant flea infestation. While treating dog fleas is very different from cat flea treatment, it’s very important to follow a step by step process for getting rid of these pests on your pets. I Think My Cat Has Fleas, Should I Be Worried?

It also promotes fertility and skin care (particularly for psoriasis and acne). It is beneficial in the treatment of various heart diseases, high cholesterol, depression , anxiety, ADHD, weak immune system, cancer , diabetes, inflammation, arthritis, IBD, AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, eye disorders, macular degeneration, and ulcers. Most of the health benefits of fish oil can be attributed to the presence of omega-3 essential fatty acids like docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in it. Other useful essential fatty acids in fish oil include alpha-linolenic acid or ALA and gamma-linolenic acid or GLA. The different types of fish which are a good source of oil and are commonly found include mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, swordfish, oysters, albacore tuna, bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, turbot, pilchards, anchovies, and salmon. The quality of fish oil greatly depends on the type of fish from which the oil is retrieved.

Shampoo ( / ʃ æ m ˈ p uː /) is a hair care product, typically in the form of a viscous liquid, that is used for cleaning hair. Less commonly, shampoo is available in bar form, like a bar of soap. Shampoo is used by applying it to wet hair, massaging the product into the hair, and then rinsing it out. Some users may follow a shampooing with the use of hair conditioner. The goal of using shampoo is to remove the unwanted build-up in the hair without stripping out so much sebum as to make hair unmanageable. Shampoo is generally made by combining a surfactant, most often sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate, with a co-surfactant, most often cocamidopropyl betaine in water.

"text": "\"Cat Health How to Tell If Your Cat Has Fleas or Dry Skinby Elizabeth Burns Skin conditions require a professional diagnosis. The symptoms of flea infestations and skin conditions can sometimes be interrelated, particularly if your pet suffers from a flea allergy, making a home diagnosis confusing. If your pet doesn’t respond to flea treatment, a veterinary examination is necessary to determine the reasons for her itching and discomfort. The Flea Detective Finding fleas on Sheba’s skin or coat gives you the hard evidence you need to give these pesky parasites their marching orders. Black or dark copper colored and roughly the size of a pinhead, fleas crawl along the surface of their victim’s skin. Pay particular attention to your kitty’s tummy and inner thighs, because fleas have an aversion to light and prefer to conceal themselves in these dark nether regions. If you don’t see any fleas, try grooming your kitty with a flea comb held over a white paper towel. Examining your pet’s skin and bedding for flea feces will help clinch the case. Flea dirt, which is composed of digested blood, resembles dark specks of pepper sprinkled along the surface of your cat’s skin. For a more thorough forensic analysis, remove some of these specks and place them on a white paper towel."

Are there any natural alternatives we could use? \"\" Answer: Corticosteroids (\"\"steroids\"\") such as prednisone and prednisolone are frequently used when treating allergic dogs and cats. While chronic steroid use has many potential side effects that can harm your pet, using low doses for short periods of time can be done safely without long term harm to Molly.

Here are some suggestions taken from my book The Allergy Solution for Dogs (Prima, 2000. ) Acupuncture Acupuncture can be used to reducing itching or stimulate the pet's immune system.

"text": "Yes, it is possible to be allergic to even very pure and high quality essential oils!Anyone who tells you that you cannot be allergic to essential oils or that when skin irritation arises in response to the use of essential oils (for example hives, rashes, itching, etc.) it means that your body is “detoxing” and that you need to continue to use oils is misinformed (please see postscript below about the emotional origin of allergies). Top quality essential oils do not contain synthetic ingredients or other contaminants. This reduces the chances of adverse reactions. But all essential oils are extremely concentrated and are undoubtedly capable of inducing immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reactions in certain people and under certain conditions. In these instances, the offending substance should be withdrawn immediately. Essential oils are safe when used according to common sense cautions. They are, however, not a modality where “more is better”. It should be our goal to avoid inducing a hypersensitivity reaction in the first place because in some cases, once stimulated, hypersensitivity can persist for life, thus depriving the affected person of the benefits of that essential oil. For this reason (among others) diluting essential oils may be the most effective and safe option."

Animals that are diurnal are active during the day. Though times of activity of an animal are in relevance to the animal, as in it is to its advantage, it can act against it when this animal is a pet. Pets are usually diurnal, which is generally great for them since mostly humans are also diurnal, so their carers will have time for them, at least partially during the day. However, in the wild, diurnal animals have the advantage of, sometimes, direct sun exposure ( for example turtles which use it for vitamin D3 synthesis) , and more importantly, a very good visibility. Animals that mainly rely on vision to hunt for food are usually diurnal. Diurnal prey have the advantage of easily spotting predators from a distance. Diurnal animals predominantly have colored and vivid vision."

The cat to communicate using various vocalizations (over 16), Purring, the positions of the body and produces pheromones. The cat can be trained to obey simple commands and can learn to manipulate simple mechanisms such as doorknobs. The cat name is derived from the Latin catus, cattus or of uncertain origin, whose root has similarities with the Berber and Nubian kadis kadiska. Other sources make it trace the origin to Germanic languages (old high German chazza, modern high German katze, kater, cimbrico kâth, iro-Scottish Gaelic cat, an ancient Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian kötr, cat, Swedish katt). The cat's body temperature fluctuates between 38 and 38.5° C; the normal respiratory rate is 10-20 breaths per minute and that 110/140 heart beats per minute. The cat has a radius around his home to at least 5 kilometres. The territory is bordered by emitting pheromones."

Legless lizards inhabit various and usually dry habitats such as rocky hillsides, lowland grasslands, woodlands, prairies… They can survive on different altitudes, from the sea level to the altitude of 5100 feet. Legless lizards are mostly threatened by habitat loss. Also, thousands of legless lizards end up killed each year because people confuse them with snakes (they are killed out of fear). Certain species of legless lizards are listed as endangered. Interesting Legless lizard Facts: Size of legless lizard depends on the species.

Skunks, Raccoons, Opossum Striped Skunk- Mephitis mephitis; Western Spotted Skunk- Spilogale gracilis , Eastern spotted skunk- Spilogale putorius Skunks are best known for their ability to secrete a liquid with a strong, foul- smelling odor. General appearance ranges from species to species, from black-and-white to brown or cream colored. Skunks were classified as a subfamily within the family Mustelidae, which includes ferrets,weasels, otters, badgers, and relatives. However, recent genetic evidence suggests that the skunks are not as closely related to the mustelids as previously thought; they are now classified in their own family. Skunk species vary in size from about 15.6 to 37 inches and in weight from about 1.1 pounds (the spotted skunks) to 18 pounds (the hog-nosed skunks ). They have a moderately elongated body with relatively short, well-muscled legs, and long front claws for digging. Although the most common fur color is black and white, some skunks are brown or gray, and a few are cream-colored. All skunks are striped, even from birth. They may have a single thick stripe across back and tail, two thinner stripes, or a series of white spots and broken stripes (in the case of the spotted skunk)."

Also commonly known as the Cougar and the Mountain Lion, Pumas are able to reach larger sizes than some 'big' cat individuals but despite their large size they are believed to be more closely related to smaller feline species. Due to their extensive distribution, there are 7 subspecies of Puma all of which share similar characteristics but tend to vary slightly in colour and occasionally size. The Puma is thought to be one of the most adaptable felines on the American continents as they are found in a variety of different habitats and unlike numerous Cat species, the Puma has no markings on its fur leading to its scientific name Felis concolor which means ' cat of one colour'. Puma Anatomy and Appearance Due to the fact that the majority of Pumas are found in more mountainous regions, they have a thick coat of fur which helps to keep them warm in the freezing winters. Depending on the subspecies and location, the Puma's fur varies in colour from brown-yellow to grey-red, with those individuals found in colder regions being more grey and those found in warmer areas having more of a red tinge to their fur. The Puma is an incredibly powerful predator and has muscular hind legs that are slightly longer and stronger than the front, which makes them more agile when leaping. The also have enormous paws which are very large in comparison to their body size. The Puma has large wide-set eyes which not only enable it to see what is ahead of it, but they can also see for some distance around them as well. They have pointed ears and their acute hearing allows them to detect prey even when it is too dark for them to see."

Credit: Nickolay Lamm When Fluffy goes crazy for laser pointers, shiny objects and people's ankles, just what is she seeing? Cats' fondness for pouncing on feet and feathery toys may be rooted in their hunting instinct, but it also has a lot to do with their unique vision. And, as it turns out, scientists know a lot about what cats see. Now, a new set of images, by artist Nickolay Lamm, tries to capture the differences between cat vision and human vision. Whereas humans are able to see more vibrant colors during the day, their feline companions have the edge when it comes to peripheral vision and night vision. [ Images: See What a Cat Sees]Night creatures Cats have a wider field of view — about 200 degrees, compared with humans' 180-degree view. Cats also have a greater range of peripheral vision, all the better to spot that mouse (or toy) wriggling in the corner. Cats are crepuscular, meaning they are active at dawn and dusk. That may be why they need such good night vision."

Bats are beneficial because they feed on and help to control many agricultural pests. Depending on the species, some bats such as the hoary bat, the red bat and the silver-haired bat, migrate south in the cold winter months when insects are rare in Ohio. Other bats hibernate during the winter. In Ohio, bats typically hibernate from late October to early April in caves, abandoned mines, cracks in large rock outcroppings or attics and buildings. Bats can carry diseases that can spread to people or animals.

"text": "Are Hedgehogs Nocturnal, Crepuscular, or Diurnal? Jun 6, 2013 by Millermeade Farms Nocturnal vs. Crepuscular vs. Diurnal Animals can generally be described as nocturnal, crepuscular, or diurnal, based on the time of day they are awake. These terms can basically be defined as follows: Nocturnal—Animals that are awake primarily at night Crepuscular—Animals that are awake during late evening and early morning Diurnal—Animals that are awake during the day Some hedgehogs may exhibit crepuscular activity, meaning they are active in early morning and early evening, but hedgehogs are considered to be primarily nocturnal. No matter how the hedgehog is technically defined or described, each is going to have its own schedule of activities or routine. Built for the Dark Many hedgehog experts and enthusiasts agree that hedgehog senses are adapted to work best at night. Whether naturally active at night only or at dawn and dusk, the point is that hedgehogs are active when the levels of light are very low or even pitch black. Hedgehog activity typically is not determined by the hour of the day, but rather by the level of light. Hedgehogs have very poor eyesight so their other senses are sharper to compensate for this weakness. Generally speaking, the world is much more calm and quiet during the night. Hedgehogs are naturally timid and afraid of new things, such as strange smells or sounds."

Weasels are widespread and common throughout England, Scotland and Wales but absent from Ireland, the Isle of Man and most smaller islands. Like the stoat, it is still persecuted by gamekeepers. Weasels look very similar to Stoats, the only noticeable difference being, that unlike stoats, weasels do not have a black tip to the tail. Both weasels and stoats have a very similar diet and enjoy similar habitats and ranges around Britain, yet they tend to stay out of each others way if possible. Male and Female stoats and weasels are referred to as a dog and a bitch respectively. The young are called kittens or kits.

Credit: Mark Elbroch The puma is the big cat of the Americas. At one time, it ranged from the Yukon in Canada to the Strait of Magellan at the tip of South America. Because these cats were found in so many places, local tribes or explorers had their own name for the large felines, including cougar, mountain lion, Florida panther and catamount. In fact, there are more than 80 names for the puma, more names than any other animal, according to the book \"\" Cougar: The American Lion ,\"\" by Kevin Hansen. It is important to note, though, that pumas are not bobcats, lynxes, jaguars, cheetahs or leopards. Typically, pumas can be identified by a tan or slightly yellow coat, round face, long tail and erect ears. Adult males grow to 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 meters) long and females average 5 to 7 feet (1.5 to 2.1 meters). Males typically weigh 110 to 180 lbs. ( 50 to 82 kilograms) and the female 80 to 130 lbs.

The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia, with an endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in India, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, across Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru. The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a major population decline of 30--50% over the past two decades [date missing] in its African range. Lion populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern. Within Africa, the West African lion population is particularly endangered."

"text": "When your cat takes catnaps, it may appear that he's asleep when he is actually quite alert - like sleeping with one eye open. ( Posted By Dr. Rebecca Schmidt and Dr. Michelle Miller, Community Contributor)Posted By Dr. Rebecca Schmidt and Dr. Michelle Miller, Community Contributor Privacy Policy If you think your cat is sleeping a lot, you’re not off base. Cats tend to sleep in some form or another for anywhere from 16 to 20 hours a day. A lot depends on your cat’s age and health. But, how can you tell if your cat is sleeping too much? The best way to determine this is to learn a little more about a cat’s sleep and rest patterns in conjunction with your own cat’s behavior. Then, watching your cat’s catnaps, deep sleeping patterns and night sleep will help you get a better handle on if your cat’s sleeping patterns may be off, indicating there is something wrong. Catnaps Cats take a lot of catnaps during the course of the day. The key thing to remember is that when they are taking their little catnaps, they are resting but not really asleep with their minds on standby mode. That means that it may appear that your cat is asleep, but if something triggers your cat – prey, food or danger of any sort – your cat could be awake and ready to move within seconds."

Fast-forward to later in the day when you return home from work, school or other late-afternoon activities with just enough energy left to operate the TV remote. And yet, there’s your furry friend again, ready to play. If it seems like you and your cat are never quite on the same schedule, it’s for good reason. Cats might sleep twice as much as we do, but their activity patterns don’t coincide with ours often. While we humans are diurnal, or active during the daytime, cats are crepuscular -- a fancy way of saying they’re raring to go at both dawn and dusk. You can, however, take steps to make life easier for both of you. “ Luckily, cats are pretty accommodating,” says Pam Johnson-Bennett, a Nashville, Tenn., cat behavior expert and author. “ They willingly adjust to our schedule more than we adjust to theirs."

The Golden Hamster Teddy Bear Hamster Black Bear Hamster Panda Bear Hamster A Campbell's Dwarf The Syrian hamster is the hamster that most people associate with the word ‘Hamster’ and may sometimes may be referred to as the ‘Golden hamster’ as the Gold color was the Syrian hamsters' original colour in the wild and that color is still kept even today. So many colour’s and variations have now been bred the word ‘Golden’ is very rarely used. The long haired variety of the Syrian hamster may sometimes be referred to as the \"\" Teddy Bear \"\" hamster. Other names are \"\" Panda Bear \"\" \"\"Black Bear\"\" and many more nicknames such as these, depending on their coat and coloration. Some pet stores have taken to calling them by these incorrect names, theses hamsters are all one and the same species Mesocricetus Auratus. The Syrian hamster are easy to tame, and can be very friendly and sociable. There are also four other species that are popular as pets, theses are often called Dwarf hamsters though are smaller in size. The needs of all hamsters are basically the same but housing and feeding needs may differ slightly. It was thought that the Syrian hamster had been extinct in its natural environment Syria since the 1980s That is, until a population was found in Kilis on the Turkish Syrian border in the year 2000."

"text": "Bobcat Everyone has probably either had a housecat, or at least known someone who does. When people think of the wild relatives of the neighborhood today, many probably think of cheetahs, lions, tigers and other big cats in Africa. But we have our own wild feline right here in Oklahoma – the bobcat. Lynx rufus is a small cat with slight ear tufts. Its back, sides and upper tail is pale to reddish brown with black spots, while the lower part of its body is white with dark spots. Bobcats have a range that stretches from southern Canada to northern Mexico, and are found throughout the continental United States except in the upper Midwest and parts of New England. Bobcats frequent habitat types ranging from coniferous and mixed forests to desert scrublands to Cypress swamps. Just like their larger African cousins, bobcats mark their territory with urine. A male’s home range is generally two to three times larger than that of the female’s, and it includes the ranges of several females while partially overlapping the ranges of other males. Females are much more exclusive about their territory, and their ranges do not overlap."

It lives there in the streets and has adapted very well to the extreme climate. The Arabian Mau is recognized as a formal breed by few fancier and breeder organization and cat registry, World Cat Federation (WCF) and Emirates Feline Federation (EFF). Based on one landrace, the Arabian Mau is a natural breed. It is medium in size, with a body structure that is rather large and firm, not particularly slender, and with well developed musculature. The legs are comparatively long, with oval paws. The head appears round, but is slightly longer than broad. The nose is slightly concave curved when viewed in profile.

These four families are linked by the presence of an ossified segment in the auditory bulla of the inner ear; a feature not found in dog-like carnivorans. The separation between these two branches of terrestrial carnivores has been confirmed by a variety of other morphological and DNA-based characters. The Family Felidae comprises: Seven species of 'Big cats' in 3 genera: The genus Panthera: lions ( P. leo ), tigers ( P. tigris ), leopards ( P. pardus ), jaguars ( P. onca ), snow leopards ( P. uncia ). The genus Neofelis: clouded leopards ( N. nebulosa)The genus Acinonyx: cheetahs ( A. jubatus ). Thirty species of 'Small cats' in the genus Felis. While a large cat such as a tiger may be 2 - 3 metres long and weigh 384 kg; a small cat such as the black-footed cat may be only 40 cm long and weigh 1 - 2 kg. Traditionally members of the genus Felis are distinguished from the big cats belonging to the Pantherine lineage because they cannot roar. Molecular genetic data indicates that the small cats represent at least seven evolutionary lineages descended from a common ancestry. A cheetah lying in the grass at Edinburgh zoo shows the typical appearance of members of the cat family: blunt flattened features, large eyes and large rounded ears."

"text": "Attractions Kalahari Fun Facts Prev Article Next Article Stretching around 360,000 square miles across Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, the Kalahari Desert is not a desert in the strictest sense of the word. It receives too much rainfall – between 5 and 10 inches annually. Only its vast expanses of sand, through which precipitation filters rapidly, leaving nothing on the surface, have made the Kalahari into the “thirstland” that early European settlers described. The desert is part of the 970,000-square-mile Kalahari Basin, which includes the Okavango River Delta and other wetter areas. The basin encompasses virtually all of Botswana and more than half of Namibia. The video game Mario Kart 64 includes a track called ‘Kalimari Desert’, a reference to the Kalahari Desert which is in Southern Africa. The Kalahari Desert covers about 350, 000 square miles from the southern part of the African continent. It includes some parts of South Africa, Namibia and big part of Botswana. The Kalahari’s desert name comes from the local word ‘waterless place’. However, for the reason that the Kalahari’s sand retains water greater than some other deserts, there’s a variety of plant life in this desert."

"text": "Live Science Animals House Cats' Wild Ancestor Found By Jeanna Bryner, Live Science Managing Editor | June 28, 2007 10:04am ETMOREScottish wildcats. Credit: Ewan Macdonald Domestic cats have been traced back to a single wild ancestor whose relatives still live in the remote deserts of the Middle East today. The transformation of a vicious predator into a docile tabby took place some 10,000 years ago, a new genetic analysis suggests. That is the same time humans adopted an agricultural lifestyle in the Fertile Crescent. So the first of the friendly cats likely acted as a mouse hunter for grain-storage areas. “We think that was the beginning of one of the most interesting natural history experiments ever done,” said Stephen O’Brien, a geneticist at the National Cancer Institute in Maryland, “which is the changing of a wild, ferocious predator into a friendly mouser that decided to hang its wagon on humankind. ”Until now, scientists knew close to nil about the genetic relationships between different types of cats, including wild versus domestic varieties. Well-kempt housecats can and often do breed with wild species, which has made it tricky for scientists to distinguish between a hybrid wild-domestic feline and a purely wild or house variety. Kitty genes The key difference between the two is behavior. Domestic cats can live in groups and are generally not afraid of people."

The Cheetah is not one of the Great Cats, because it does not have a floating Hyoid bone in its neck it can not roar, therefore it is a Lesser Cat. Cheetahs have been considered through out history to be a sleek and beautiful cat. Cheetahs have been in captivity for over 5,000 years and were first tamed by the Sumarians. By far the Cheetah has been considered the easiest of the exotic cats to tame. The Cheetahs were used as hunting partners for sport in Asia prior to Assyrian Dynasty in Libya, during the reign of the Kings. Their keen eyesight played a major role, which aided in the hunt.

Geography [ edit]Drainage of the desert is by dry valleys, seasonally inundated pans and the large salt pans of the Makgadikgadi Pan in Botswana and Etosha Pan in Namibia. The only permanent river, the Okavango, flows into a delta in the northwest, forming marshes that are rich in wildlife. Ancient dry riverbeds—called omuramba —traverse the central northern reaches of the Kalahari and provide standing pools of water during the rainy season. A semi-desert, with huge tracts of excellent grazing after good rains, the Kalahari supports more animals and plants than a true desert, such as the Namib Desert to the west.

Contents [ show]Plot A pet chameleon ( Johnny Depp) becomes stranded in the Mojave Desert, where he is directed by an armadillo ( Alfred Molina) to a town called Dirt. In the desert, he is pursued by a red-tailed hawk and hallucinates at length before meeting the desert iguana Beans ( Isla Fisher ), who takes the chameleon to Dirt, an Old West town populated by desert animals. There, the chameleon presents himself to the townsfolk as a heroic figure, under the name of 'Rango'. He soon runs afoul of Gila monster Bad Bill ( Ray Winstone ), but avoids a fight when Bill is scared off by the afore-seen hawk, and is himself pursued by the hawk until he accidentally crushes it beneath an empty water tower, whereupon the town's mayor ( Ned Beatty) appoints Rango the sheriff. Meanwhile, the townsfolk worry that with the hawk dead, the gunslinger Rattlesnake Jake ( Bill Nighy) will return. After discovering Dirt's water reserves nearly empty, Beans demands that Rango investigate; but later, Rango inadvertently assists a trio of bank robbers, led by the mole Balthazar ( Harry Dean Stanton ), mistaking them for prospectors; and upon finding the water stolen, organizes a posse, who discover bank manager Merrimack ( Stephen Root) dead in the desert from drowning, and later fight the robbers for the stolen water bottle, before discovering the bottle to be empty."

"text": "The origins of cats The domestic cat ( Felis catus) is one of the most recently evolved species within the Felidae family. The Felidae family have been split into three genera: Panthera (cats that roar – lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, clouded leopards, and jaguars)Acinonyx (the Cheetah)Felis (all other ‘small’ cats)However, the classification of the Felidae family is difficult, in part because of the difficulty in distinguishing species by their phenotype and morphology ... they all look remarkably similar and, for example, it is extremely difficult for even trained experts to differentiate the skull of a lion from that of a tiger. More recent genetic investigations have suggested eight distinct clusterings or lineages within the Felidae family which could therefore form the basis of their reclassification in the future. Common features All cats have evolved as predatory hunting mammals with particularly keen senses of hearing, sight and smell. Anatomical characteristics such as the rounded head and skeletal structure suggest that all the 37 recognised species within the Felidae family evolved from a common ancestor, probably living in Asia around 10-12 million years ago. There has been a rapid expansion and diversity of the Felidae family during the past 10 to 11 million years and by 3 million years ago there was a wide variety of cats populating all regions of the earth except the Arctic, Antarctic and Australia. The rise and fall of sea levels over many millennia helped both to create conditions where Felidae species could migrate and occupy other geographical locations (when sea levels were low) and isolate the development of species (when sea levels were high). The widespread migration of ancestral cats was probably made easier by their natural behaviour to disperse and seek their own territory, and also the need to follow the prey species they hunted on. Felidae are the most highly developed carnivorous hunters of all mammalian species. With the exception of lions, which live in groups, all other wild cats have developed as solitary animals with the ability to hunt and fend for themselves."

"text": "\"4.7 Respiration Contents - Previous - Next Respiration is the process by which plants take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide. As shown in Figure 4.5, oxygen from the air breaks down carbohydrates in the plant into carbon dioxide and water. This reaction produces energy in the form of heat. Respiration is a basic reaction of all plant material, both in the field and after harvest. It is a continuing process in the growing plant as long as the leaves continue to make carbohydrates, and cannot be stopped without damage to the growing plant or harvested produce. Fresh produce cannot replace carbohydrates or water after harvest. Respiration uses stored starch or sugar and will stop when reserves of these are exhausted; ageing follows and the produce dies and decays.4.7.1 Effect of air supply on respiration . Respiration depends on a good air supply. Air contains about 20 percent of the oxygen essential to normal plant respiration, during which starch and sugars are converted to carbon dioxide and water vapour. When the air supply is restricted and the amount of available oxygen in the environment falls to about 2 percent or less, fermentation instead of respiration occurs."

It is known by a variety of names including; amyloodiniosis, marine oodinium disease, oodiniosis, and gold dust disease. The scientific name of the infecting organism is Amyloodinium ocellatum. Amyloodinium is a one-celled organism called a dinoflagellate because it has whip-like structures (flagella) which help it move. It is highly adapted to parasitism. There are many free-living dinoflagellates present in most aquatic environments, but this particular species is one of the few that will actually cause disease in fish. This disease is widespread and can cause serious illness and death in aquarium fish if not recognized and treated quickly and properly. This article will give a description of the disease and offer treatment and prevention strategies.

"text": "\"What Is Ringworm? Ringworm is a common skin disorder otherwise known as “tinea” or “dermatophytosis.” It is caused by a fungus that can live on skin, surfaces like locker room floors, and household items like towels, bedding, and clothes. While there are multiple forms of ringworm, the most common forms affect:the skin on the body (tinea corporis),the scalp (tinea capitis),the feet (tinea pedis, or \"\"athlete's foot\"\"), orthe groin (tinea cruris, or \"\"jock itch\"\"). Ringworm attacks dead tissues in places like the hair, nails, and leftover dandruff. But our bodies' immune reactions and local bacterial infections enable ringworm to turn healthy, living skin red and itchy. Does Ringworm Mean I Have Worms? Despite its name, ringworm is not caused by a worm. The ancient Greeks called ringworm “ herpes ,” meaning “ring,” while the ancient Romans called it “tinea,” referring to the larval stage of a clothes moth. Characterized by round skin lesions (rings) and early belief that the infection was caused by a parasite (worm), the English word “ringworm” was born sometime in the early 15th century."

Surgery is the first step in treating almost all types of skin cancers. Conventional surgery (removing the entire cancerous area at one time) is not often used for basal and squamous cell skin cancers. There are many types of specific surgeries to treat skin cancer. A doctor will determine the most appropriate surgery for the patient depending on the size, depth, and location of the skin cancer and the overall health of the patient. Many basal and squamous cell skin cancers can be removed from the skin quickly and easily. Sometimes, the biopsy removes the cancer completely, and no further treatment is necessary. In other cases, doctors use surgery, radiation therapy, topical chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (treatment with drugs that become active when exposed to light),or a combination of methods to treat basal and squamous cell skin cancers. Clinical research is currently being conducted to evaluate methods to treat melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. The usual treatment for melanoma includes surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination."

Destruction of the nerveendings causes the the affected areas to lose sensation. Occasionally, because of the loss of feeling, the fingers and toes become mutilated and fall off, causing the deformities that aretypically associated with the disease. Description Leprosy is also known as Hansen's disease after G. A. Hansen, who in 1878 identified thebacillus Mycobacterium leprae that causes the disease. The infection is characterized by abnormal changes of the skin. These changes, called lesions,are at first flat and red. Upon enlarging, they have irregular shapes and a characteristicappearance. The lesions are typically darker in color around the edges with discolored palecenters. Because the organism grows best at lower temperatures the leprosy bacillus has a preference for the skin, the mucous membranes and the nerves."

Gotthelf (Member American Academy of Veterinary Dermatology)Canine Pyoderma (Pus in the skin) or Bacterial Skin Infection Bacterial folliculitis is the most common type of bacterial skin infection in the dog. The Staphylococcus pseudintermedius bacteria, which is a normal resident bacteria of canine skin, can cause infection of the skin in some dogs. Current theories indicate that most dogs who develop the infection, particularly recurrent infections, have an underlying abnormality of their metabolic or immune systems.

Dogs that have had long standing pyodermas are the best candidates for antibiotic sensitivity testing. We can get culture and antibiotic sensitivity results in 24 hours in our own bacteriology mini lab. We also can test for MRSP, a methcillin resistant form of antibiotic resistant bacterial skin infections, similar to MRSA in people. Using this technology, we can often find an antibiotic that will help the infection in cases of resistant bacterial skin infections that have been treated with multiple antibiotics."

"text": "\"Genetic Considerations of Diseases and Disorders that Affect the Oral Cavity Part I. Overview, Dental Decay, Periodontal Disease, Diabetes S. Michele Robichaux, D. D. S. Almost every disease and disorder that affects the oral cavity (the mouth) has a genetic component. Even the most common oral diseases - tooth decay and gum disease - have hereditary influences. Both tooth decay (dental caries) and gum disease (periodontal disease) show various clinical symptoms and seriousness among individuals who otherwise practice similar oral hygiene habits. One reason why symptoms are so variable is that individuals inherit different degrees of genetic susceptibility or resistance to germs (bacteria) found in the mouth. Other diseases and disorders that can directly or indirectly affect oral tissues include metabolic diseases (such as diabetes), cancers of the head and neck, and developmental defects (like cleft lip and cleft palate). ANATOMY OF THE ORAL CAVITYThe mouth is that part of the body bounded by the cheeks, lips, palate, and the floor of the mouth (the area beneath the tongue). The nasal cavity is located above the mouth and is separated from the mouth by the hard and soft palate. Within the oral cavity is the tongue, teeth, tissue supporting the teeth (gums and bone), and salivary glands. The pharynx, or throat, is the region located behind the oral cavity. IMPORTANCE OF THE DENTAL EXAMINATIONThe dentist is many times the first healthcare provider with the opportunity to take thorough health histories and perform an examination of the mouth and associated tissues."

This type is very rare and usually only occurs in adults. Pericardial effusion only is a relatively rare intrauterine condition. If there is a pericardial effusion, its quantity is usually small and insignificant and the condition is usually transient. The pericardial effusion, if present, is usually part of a general condition of edema (clear, serous fluid) of the pleurae and peritoneum, which can affect the rest of the body as well at a later stage.

"text": "Home » Dog Conditions Excessive Production of Saliva in Dogs Ptyalism in Dogs Ptyalism is a condition characterized by the excessive flow of saliva, also referred to as hypersalivation. Pseudoptyalism (i.e., false ptyalism), on the other hand, is the release of excess saliva that has accumulated in the oral cavity. Saliva is constantly produced and secreted into the oral cavity from the salivary glands. Production of saliva increases because of excitation of the salivary nuclei in the brain stem. The stimuli that lead to this are taste and touch sensations involving the mouth and tongue. Higher centers in the central nervous system can also excite or inhibit the salivary nuclei. Lesions involving either the central nervous system or the oral cavity can cause excessive salivation as well. Diseases that affect the pharynx, esophagus, and stomach can also stimulate excessive production of saliva. Conversely, normal saliva production may appear excessive in animals with an anatomic abnormality that allows saliva to dribble out of the mouth, or are affected with a condition that affects swallowing. Ingestion of a toxin, a caustic agent, or a foreign body can also lead to ptyalism."

[ 1] [2]It may lead to nosebleeds, acute and chronic digestive tract bleeding, and various problems due to the involvement of other organs. Treatment focuses on reducing bleeding from blood vessel lesions, and sometimes surgery or other targeted interventions to remove arteriovenous malformations in organs. Chronic bleeding often requires iron supplements and sometimes blood transfusions. HHT is transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion, and occurs in one in 5,000 people.

"text": "\"OVARYJeffrey L. Stern, M. D. Back to Cancer by Type Carcinoma of the ovary is one of the most common gynecologic malignancies. In many cases, it is curable when found early, but because it does not cause any symptoms in its early stages, most women have widespread disease at the time of diagnosis. Partly because of this, the mortality rate from ovarian cancer exceeds that for all other gynecologic malignancies combined. It is the fourth most frequent cause of death in women in the United States. About one in every 70 women will develop cancer of the ovary and one in every 100 women will die from it. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 26,000 cases of ovarian cancer diagnosed each year with approximately 15,000 deaths. Types The most common form of ovarian cancer arises from the cells covering the surface of the ovary and is known as epithelial carcinoma. There are five major types of this carcinoma-serous, mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell and undifferentiated. Epithelial carcinomas are further divided into grades, according to how virulent they appear on microscopic examination. Tumors of low malignant potential, also known as borderline tumors, are the most well-differentiated malignancy (Grade 0) and account for 15 percent of all epithelial carcinomas of the ovary."

"text": "What is ferritin? Iron is an essential bioelement for life; however, free ionic iron is toxic and must be correctly stored inside the cell. Ferritin is the main protein that stores safely the iron inside the cell. This protein is expressed in all the organism cells. Tissue ferritin (ferritin that is inside the tissues) is composed by 24 subunits of two types of ferritins named: L chain ( light, 19 k Da, chromosome 19) and H chains ( heavy, 21 k Da, chromosome 11). The proportion of each subunit varies according to the need for storage and homeostasis of the cell. These subunits form a spherical cavity which stores the free iron (Fe 2+ ) and saves it therein in the form of Fe 3+, through the action of the H-ferritin ferroxidase activity. Thus, ferritin consists of a soluble protein (apoferritin) and an inner layer composed of ferric hydrophosphate. Plasma or serum ferritin, is secreted by all ferritin-producer cells and unlike tissue ferritin it is partially glycosylated and nearly completely iron-free. Serum ferritin is currently regarded as the main test for deficiency states or body iron overload, since its value is proportional to iron stores, indicating the amount of iron available in the body."

Female Reproductive System Anatomy Ovaries The ovaries are a pair of small glands about the size and shape of almonds, located on the left and right sides of the pelvic body cavity lateral to the superior portion of the uterus. Ovaries produce female sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone as well as ova (commonly called “eggs”), the female gametes. Ova are produced from oocyte cells that slowly develop throughout a woman’s early life and reach maturity after puberty. Each month during ovulation, a mature ovum is released. The ovum travels from the ovary to the fallopian tube, where it may be fertilized before reaching the uterus. Fallopian Tubes The fallopian tubes are a pair of muscular tubes that extend from the left and right superior corners of the uterus to the edge of the ovaries. The fallopian tubes end in a funnel-shaped structure called the infundibulum, which is covered with small finger-like projections called fimbriae. The fimbriae swipe over the outside of the ovaries to pick up released ova and carry them into the infundibulum for transport to the uterus. The inside of each fallopian tube is covered in cilia that work with the smooth muscle of the tube to carry the ovum to the uterus. Uterus The uterus is a hollow, muscular, pear-shaped organ located posterior and superior to the urinary bladder."

D., Naval Medical Center, San Diego, California Am Fam Physician. 2004 Apr 1;69 (7):1691-1699. Retinal detachment often is a preventable cause of vision loss. There are three types of retinal detachments: exudative, tractional, and rhegmatogenous. The most common type is rhegmatogenous, which results from retinal breaks caused by vitreoretinal traction. Risk factors for retinal detachment include advancing age, previous cataract surgery, myopia, and trauma. Patients typically will present with symptoms such as light flashes, floaters, peripheral visual field loss, and blurred vision. Early intervention facilitates prevention of retinal detachment after formation of retinal breaks and improves visual outcomes of retinal detachment surgery. Patients with acute onset of flashes or floaters should be referred to an ophthalmologist."

It is characterized by swelling (edema) of certain parts of the body. The lymphatic system is a circulatory network of vessels, ducts, and nodes that filter and distribute certain protein-rich fluid (lymph) and blood cells throughout the body. In hereditary lymphedema, lymphatic fluid collects in the subcutaneous tissues under the epidermis due to obstruction, malformation, or underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of various lymphatic vessels. There are three forms of hereditary lymphedema: congenital hereditary lymphedema or Milroy disease; lymphedema praecox or Meige disease; and lymphedema tarda. Symptoms include swelling (lymphedema) and thickening and hardening of the skin in affected areas. In most cases, hereditary lymphedema is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Lymphedema may be classified as primary or secondary. Hereditary lymphedema is also known as primary lymphedema."

Pap stain. Classification and external resources Specialty oncology Me SH D011230 [ edit on Wikidata]A precancerous condition or premalignant condition, sometimes called a potentially precancerous condition or potentially premalignant condition, is a term used to describe certain conditions or lesions involving abnormal cells which are associated with an increased risk of developing into cancer [1] [2] [3]. Clinically, precancerous conditions encompass a variety of conditions or lesions with an increased risk of developing into cancer. Some of the most common precancerous conditions include certain colon polyps, which can progress into colon cancer, monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, which can progress into multiple myeloma or myelodysplastic syndrome. [ 4] and cervical dysplasia, which can progress into cervical cancer [5]. Pathologically, precancerous lesions can range from benign neoplasias, which are tumors which do not invade neighboring normal tissues or spread to distant organs, to dysplasia [6], which involves collections of abnormal cells which in some cases have an increased risk of progressing to anaplasia and invasive cancer. Sometimes the term \"\"precancer\"\" is also used to describe carcinoma in situ, which is a noninvasive cancer that has not progressed to an aggressive, invasive stage. As with other precancerous conditions, not all carcinoma in situ will progress to invasive disease."

"text": "Banking and Loans Certificates of Deposit Do I Pay Tax on CD Interest? Share Flip Pin Email•••By Justin Pritchard Updated February 11, 2018Certificates of deposit (CDs) are among the safest investments available. When covered by FDIC insurance (or NCUSIF in a federally insured credit union) they’re simple and safe. But taxes make everything more complicated - is there a tax on CD earnings, and when do you have to pay? More importantly, how can you avoid paying taxes? CD Tax Overview In most cases, you have to pay income tax on the interest you earn from a CD. The interest is treated as interest income, and you’ll generally have to report the income for the year in which the income was received. When your CD matures and your money is returned to your savings account, that’s usually (but not necessarily) a return of your principal, which is not a taxable event. For most people, things are simple: if your bank sends you a 1099-INT form at the end of the year, use that information and expect to pay tax on your CD earnings. But things aren’t always simple."

In general, most states do not tax residents on interest income arising from tax-exempt bonds issued by that state, its agencies, its cities or other political entities. However, virtually all states tax individuals on interest from bonds issued out-of-state, although those bonds remain exempt from federal taxes. Next Up Taxable Municipal Bond Tax-Exempt Sector Tax-Exempt Security Tax Exempt BREAKING DOWN 'Double Exempt'Municipal bonds, including those for which the interest is not taxable at the state or local level, are attractive to taxpayers who wish to minimize or avoid taxes on their interest income. These securities often pay a commensurately lower interest rate than taxable issues such as corporate bonds, although depending on one's tax bracket and comparative yields, they may sometimes yield more on an after-tax basis. Double exempt bond income can be an AMT preference item in some cases. From a tax perspective, this treatment often makes bonds issued in one's home state more attractive than those issued out-of-state. Some interest from municipal securities is also exempt from local income tax in jurisdictions where such taxes apply, technically making them triple tax-exempt.

"text": "CD IRA owners: Beware of new rule Sheyna Steiner September 2, 2014 in CDs New rules around rollovers of individual retirement accounts could bite the owners of certificate of deposit IRAs next year. A tax court ruling earlier this year decided that only one 60-day rollover between IRAs will be allowed in a one-year period, that is a 365-day period from the day the rollover is initiated. The new rule goes into effect Jan. 1, 2015. A story on the website for the Bradenton Herald, “Perils of IRA rollovers,” brought up a great point this week. Seniors accustomed to moving CDs from bank to bank while chasing the best CD rates may be caught off guard by the new rule. Before the tax court ruling, the understanding was that everyone could do one 60-day rollover per year per account. Now, however, going from bank to bank to purchase CDs, within an individual retirement account umbrella, may trigger a disastrous taxable event. Under the new IRS IRA rollover rules, you can only have one non-trustee-to-trustee transfer in a 12-month period. That doesn’t mean savers can’t bounce from bank to bank as they search for better CD rates. Instead of having a check made payable to the owner of the account, do a trustee-to-trustee transfer."

The value of coverage in excess of 50,000 USD (computed according to Internal Revenue Service [IRS] regulations) minus premiums that the employee pays with after-tax dollars, is considered taxable income and is subject to social security and Medicare taxes. Although you must report the amount as taxable income on the employee's Form W-2, the value of excess group-term life insurance coverage is not subject to federal income tax withholding."

"text": "Marc Prosser Contributor I talk about bonds when almost everyone else talks about stocks. Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own. Investing 4/20/2013 @ 12:42PM 188,233 views Are Municipal Bonds Currently A Good Investment? Interest Rates (Photo credit: 401 (K) 2013)The short answer is probably not. Certificates of deposit (CDs) are safer and have a major yield advantage, even after factoring in the tax benefits of municipal bonds. There are two main reasons that investors like to buy municipal bonds: The income they produce is generally not taxable, and they are perceived to be super-safe investments. Let’s explore these reasons more closely to see if they are valid. When rates are low, the tax advantage is not very large. Nobody likes the idea of having to pay taxes, and most municipal bonds provide a way to receive income free from federal, state and local taxes. However, the tax advantage for municipal bonds is smaller than most people think."

"text": "The Key Benefit of Municipal Bonds: Tax-Free Interest Tweet August 20, 2011By: Michael Johnston Federal tax-exemption of municipal bonds. The interest income earned from most municipal bonds is exempt from all federal income taxes regardless of your tax bracket. This is the most significant benefit of municipal bonds and it is a characteristic unique to municipal bonds. Not even US Treasuries offer income that is free from federal income taxes. EXAMPLE: If you buy $10,000 worth of municipal bonds with a 4% coupon, the $400 you receive every year is tax-free. Additionally, municipal bonds can be free of state income taxes as well. In most states, the interest income from municipal bonds issued by an issuer in the state is free from state income taxes in that state. For instance, a resident of Los Angeles can buy any municipal bond issued by a municipality in California and will not have to pay California state income taxes on the interest income. However, if the same LA resident purchased a Texas municipal bond, the income would still be tax-free on a federal level, but the California resident would owe California state income taxes since it is a bond issued out-of-state. ( We will cover state taxation rules in a later chapter. )"

"text": "\"Individual bonds vs a bond fund (Redirected from Individual Bonds vs a Bond Fund)navigation search The major factors in deciding between owning individual bonds versus a bond fund are: diversification, convenience, costs, and control over maturity, which are described below. There is a common belief (promoted by Suze Orman, among others) that owning individual bonds is less risky than a bond fund, but this is not necessarily true if an appropriate bond fund or collection of funds is chosen. Duration is an essential attribute for understanding the riskiness of a fund or ladder over time. There's also an important distinction between owning a ladder of individual bonds designed to meet specific future liabilities, and holding a rolling bond ladder .

D. has written about the differences between bond funds and individual bonds [1] : While you can invest in any sector of the bond market either through a bond fund or by buying individual bonds, the two are radically different investments. The main difference is that an individual bond has a definite maturity date and a fund does not. If you hold a bond to maturity, on that date it will be redeemed at par, regardless of the level of interest rates prevailing on the bond’s maturity date. Assuming a default has not occurred, you get back 100% of your principal. You have also earned a predictable income for the period that you have held the bond, consisting of coupon interest and, if coupons were reinvested, of interest-on-interest."

"text": "\"Avoid Paying Taxes on Your Social Security Step First, look at the front side of your tax return from last year. The first part of the form 1040 lists all of the different sources of income that you were taxed on. Look at the line that lists Social Security income. If there is a number (such as $11,491) that is listed on the right side of the form in that row, then you had taxable Social Security income. Step Social Security income is only taxable if your modified adjusted gross income is $25,000 or more if you are a single filer or $32,000 or more if you file jointly. Unfortunately, even some forms of tax-free income, such as municipal bond interest, can be used to calculate this income threshold. Step If your tax return shows that you are paying taxes as a result of your Social Security income, there may be a remedy available. The formula that determines your Social Security taxability includes all forms of taxable investment income, such as interest, dividends and capital gains. Reallocating some or all of these income items into tax-deferred or tax-free accounts or vehicles can reduce or eliminate the tax on your Social Security income. Step There are several ways to remove taxation on your taxable investment income."

Have Us Call You Annuities generally fall into two categories: deferred and income. Each works differently and offers unique advantages. Tax-deferred annuities: for retirement savings Deferred annuities can be a good way to boost your retirement savings once you've made the maximum allowable contributions to your 401 (k) or IRA. 1 Like any tax-deferred investment, earnings compound over time, providing growth opportunities that taxable accounts lack. Deferred annuities have no IRS contribution limits, 2 so you can invest as much as you want for retirement. You can also use your savings to create a guaranteed 3 stream of income for retirement. Depending on how annuities are funded, they may not have minimum required distributions (MRDs). Bear in mind that withdrawals of taxable amounts from an annuity are subject to ordinary income tax, and, if taken before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty."

"text": "Easy Tax Equivalent Yield Formula and Chart February 21, 2015 by Jon Tweet Share Share Share There are many investments that offer tax advantages to investors. Tax free bonds, like municipal bonds, are one popular choice for high income earners and retirees. That idea of not having to pay taxes on investment earnings will always get attention, but are you getting the best return on your money? To find out, you need the tax equivalent yield on a tax-free bond to know whether it offers a better return than a taxable bond. Given the choice between a taxable and tax-free bond or bond fund with the same amount of risk, credit quality, and maturity, it’s easy to pick the one with the higher yield. In this case, there’s one problem. It is an apples to oranges comparison. To make the best choice, you need to look at both yields under the same light or, in this case, the same tax situation. The easiest way to fix that is with the tax equivalent yield formula or through the chart below. Tax Equivalent Yield Formula The tax equivalent yield formula is used to compare the yields between a tax-free investment and a taxable investment."

"text": "Taxes must be paid by investors who receive interest income from their bonds, mutual funds, certificate of deposits (CDs) and demand deposit accounts. Some types of interest are fully taxable, while other forms are partially taxable. This article will break down the different types of interest and how each kind is taxed, as well as what forms you need in order to correctly report them. Types of Interest Income The following are the main types of interest income: Interest from CDs, corporate bonds and some types of government agency securities Checking, savings or other interest-bearing accounts U. S. government obligations. These are taxable at the federal level only; municipal bond interest is exempt from taxation of any kind, unless the alternative minimum tax (AMT) applies. How Is Taxable Interest Taxed? Regular taxable interest is taxed as ordinary income, just like an individual retirement account (IRA) or retirement plan distribution. This means that the interest will be taxed at the taxpayer's top marginal tax rate. For example, if a taxpayer is in the 35% tax bracket, then all of his or her interest income will be taxed at 35%. This rule applies for interest that is both fully taxable at all levels and also for interest that is taxable only at the federal level."

"text": "3 Things You Should Know About Metadata By Rob Schlette05/31/2012Share Tweet To successfully deliver music to a client and their listening audience, it is important to supply the media tools collectively known as metadata. This is the term we use to describe any secondary data that are used to describe or organize the digital media itself (i.e. the audio data). Most metadata are medium-specific – meaning that the delivery method defines what the relevant metadata are, and how they will be delivered. Here are a few of the most frequently important points.1. Compact Discs: CD-Text vs. Online Databases CD-Text is an Interactive Text Transmission System that was added to the Red Book CD-DA standard in 1996. Using CD-Text, information like Artist Name, Album Title, and Song Title is stored in the lead-in of a Red Book CD. CD players and CD-ROM drives that support CD-Text can display that information during playback. CD-Text does not supply metadata to digital media applications like i Tunes, WMP, or ripper apps because the metadata are not embedded in the audio files themselves. Rather, these types of applications have to use one or more online databases like the Gracenote CDDB to access a hosted set of track-specific metadata. Regardless of your choice to include CD-Text with your CD master or not, CD database information must be submitted separately."

"text": "by Rebecca Tarnopol 10 Feb 2014 Difficulty: Beginner Length: Short Languages: App Training As the music industry continues to shift to digital media, the distribution of music to physical media, like CDs, has become less common. However, there are still several situations where you'll find that CDs are the optimal way to share or store your music, but over the years i Tunes has made it a bit harder to do so. In this tutorial, I will teach you how to burn a CD in i Tunes, thus turning your digital media into physical media that can be played and shared nearly everywhere. Getting Started For this tutorial, you will need: A Mac with either a built-in or external recordable optical drivei Tunes 11Blank CDs Music In this tutorial, I'll be using my 2010 i Mac, which comes with a built-in Super Drive, which is a recordable optical drive capable of burning CDs. If you have a newer Mac that doesn’t have a built-in disc drive, you will need to purchase an external drive in order to do this tutorial. Tip: If you are unsure whether or not your Mac is able to burn a disc, open a Finder window and go to Applications > System Information > Hardware > Disc Burning, and check Burn Support. If it says Yes, you’re good to go; if not, you will have to invest in an external recordable optical drive to do this tutorial.1. Make a Playlist First, open the i Tunes app. In order to burn a CD in i Tunes 11, you must first create a playlist. Making a Playlist To create a new playlist, you will want to go to the Playlists tab at the top of the i Tunes window, then press the Plus icon in the bottom left corner."

If so, make a folder, then copy and paste all the files to your desktop. If you're trying to burn a CD, then you'll need CD burning software which will \"\"Create a disk image\"\" of the tracks that are on the CD. It can later be burned to a blank. On the other hand, if you're trying to save the music to a media player so you can play the music on the computer without using the CD...most media players will do it.. An example with Windows Media Player 9: Place the CD in the CD-Rom and stop it from automatically playing. Now open Windows Media Player and click on \"\"Copy From CD\"\" which should be a tab on the left side. You should see tracks from the CD."

But his follow-up, The Fog, was fraught with such initial problems that the director-scorer reshot, re-edited, and rescored the entire film in just a month. While his Fog score (in a newly expanded and remixed edition that follows a similar upgrade of his cult-fave Escape from New York music) doesn't exactly break the mold of the tensely rhythmic minimalism he used to great effect in Halloween, it's more gothic and classically spooky in every way."

"text": "\"Reference Fast Guide to CD/DVDPosted by: Margaret Rouse What Is.com A Brief History of CD/DVDThe first disc that could be written and read by optical means (using light as a medium) was developed by James T. Russell. In the late 1960s, Russell created a system that recorded, stored, and played audio/video data using light rather than the traditional contact methods, which could easily damage the disks during playback. Russell developed a photosensitive disc that stored data as 1 micron-wide dots of light and dark. The dots were read by a laser, converted to an electrical signal, and then to audio or visual display for playback. Russell's own company manufactured the first disc player in 1980, although the technology never reached the marketplace until Philips and Sony developed the technology. In late 1982, Philips and Sony released the first of the compact disc (CD) formats, which they then called CD-DA (digital audio). In the years since, format has followed format as the original companies and other industry members developed more adaptations of the original specifications. Digital Versatile disc (DVD) had its beginning in 1994, when two formats, Super disc (SD) and Multimedia CD (MMCD) were introduced. Promoters of the competing technologies failed to reach an agreement on a single standard until 1996, when DVD was selected as a convergence format. DVD has, in the few years since, grown to include variations that do anything that CD does, and more efficiently."

Honeymoon is the fourth studio album and third major-label studio album by Lana Del Rey. It was officially released worldwide on September 18, 2015, by Polydor and Interscope Records . Contents [ show]Background In late June, 2014, shortly after the release of her second major-label album, Ultraviolence, Del Rey stated she had begun recording her follow up album. Del Rey explained, \"\"I have this idea for this record called \"\" Music to Watch Boys To \"\" so, yeah, I'm just kind of thinking about that and what that would mean\"\". [ 1]In interviews around late 2014 to early 2015, Del Rey discussed the songs she had contributed to Tim Burton's 2014 film Big Eyes, \"\" Big Eyes \"\" and \"\" I Can Fly \"\", and the sound and lyrical content of her upcoming record. Also during this period, Del Rey released a song named \"\" Wait for Life \"\" with Emile Haynie for his debut album We Fall, leading many to speculate he would return as a collaborator on her upcoming album having not been featured on the previous one. On January 6, 2015,Honeymoon was revealed as the official title of the album. [ 2]All tracks on the album were recorded and mixed from 2014 to 2015 at The Green Building in Santa Monica, California, with the exception of \"\" Salvatore \"\" and \"\" Swan Song \"\", which were recorded at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, New York. Production Rick Nowels, Kieron Menzies, and Del Rey serve as the executive producers on the album, the album was solely written and produced by the three."

I would definitely consider an older neighborhood before deciding on a new house. My neighborhood has no CDD fees and a low HOA fee ($13 per month). Just like taxes, CDD and HOA fees increase each year. I live in Hillsborough county, just south of Brandon/Riverview. Here is a link to my house. At the bottom of my listing page, I have listed CDD fees of some new developments. As one can see, the average CDD/HOA fees for new developments in Hillsborough county is about $1500 per year. That adds up to $45,000 on a 30 year mortgage. You're better off spending a few thousands more on an older house."

"text": "\"Bank Secrecy Act Anti-Money Laundering Examination Manual Backward | Table of Contents | Forward Customer Due Diligence—Overview Objective. Assess the appropriateness and comprehensiveness of the bank’s customer due diligence (CDD) policies, procedures, and processes for obtaining customer information and assess the value of this information in detecting, monitoring, and reporting suspicious activity. The cornerstone of a strong BSA/AML compliance program is the adoption and implementation of comprehensive CDD policies, procedures, and processes for all customers, particularly those that present a higher risk for money laundering and terrorist financing. The objective of CDD should be to enable the bank to predict with relative certainty the types of transactions in which a customer is likely to engage. These processes assist the bank in determining when transactions are potentially suspicious. The concept of CDD begins with verifying the customer’s identity and assessing the risks associated with that customer. Processes should also include enhanced CDD for higher-risk customers and ongoing due diligence of the customer base. Effective CDD policies, procedures, and processes provide the critical framework that enables the bank to comply with regulatory requirements and to report suspicious activity. An illustration of this concept is provided in Appendix K (\"\"Customer Risk Versus Due Diligence and Suspicious Activity Monitoring\"\"). CDD policies, procedures, and processes are critical to the bank because they can aid in: Detecting and reporting unusual or suspicious transactions that potentially expose the bank to financial loss, increased expenses, or reputational risk."

"text": "ASD Resources Understanding Autism DSM-IV CRITERIAWhat is autism? Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life. The result of a neurological disorder that impacts the functioning of the brain, autism impacts the normal development of the brain in the areas of social interaction and communication skills. The core deficits of autism are: Cognition Communication Social Interactions Repetitive Behaviors Autism affects human behaviors such as verbal and non-verbal communication, the ability to effectively express ideas and feelings, imagination, leisure and play activities, and establishment of relationships with others. It generally has a life long affect on how individuals learn to be social beings, care for themselves and participate in their community (National Research Council 2009). Individuals with autism tend to focus on details, interpret fragments of the information, misperceive the perspective of others and become stuck on one mode of thinking and behaving. As a result, they misinterpret their experiences. Pervasive Developmental Disorders Autism is one of five neurological disorders coming under the umbrella of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD). A Pervasive Developmental Disorder is a condition that permanently and adversely affects all aspects of a person’s development (Rowland Barret Ph D April 2009), including: Social development Cognitive development (intelligence, language)Affective development (mood, emotions)Physical development (motor skills)The five disorders under PDD are: Autistic Disorder Asperger Syndrome Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD)Rett's Disorder PDD-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS)Each of these disorders has specific diagnostic criteria as outlined by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in its Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR). Asperger Syndrome Asperger Syndrome is “…characterized as a triad of impairments affecting: social interaction, communication, and imagination, accompanied by a narrow, rigid repetitive pattern of activities” (Lorna Wing 1998)."

The Final Rule can be found here; our prior discussion of the Final Rule can be found here. The new rule requires covered financial institutions to identify and verify the identity of the beneficial owners of all legal entity customers. It also adds CDD as a fifth pillar to the traditional four pillars of an effective anti-money laundering (AML) program. The implementation date of May 11, 2018 is less than a year away. How can you ensure that you’ll be ready? Understanding the Rule1. Who is covered?“Covered institutions” are financial institutions subject to Customer Identification (CIP) requirements, including banks, broker-dealers in securities, mutual funds, futures commission merchants and introducing brokers in commodities. Many other entities in the financial services industry, while not legally obligated to comply with CIP requirements, are contractually bound to do so by their lenders. Those entities must learn whether their lenders similarly will require them to comply with the new beneficial ownership requirements.2."

CDD will accomplish this by maximizing USSOCOM, HQDA, TRADOC, and AMC integration into development of requirements, technology transfer, materiel programs and equipment. In short, CDD gets the best equipment to the best soldiers to succeed on the toughest missions. CDD Organization CDD is organized by Commodity Sections: Capability Integration Command, Control, Communications and Computers (C4)Intelligence Systems and Sensors (ISS)Military Information Support Operations (MISO)Mobility Systems Soldier Systems Target Engagement*Aviation (Manned and Unmanned)* Aviation Commodities (Manned and Unmanned) are managed by Army Special Operations Aviation Command (ARSOAC). CDD Vision and ARSOF 2022: Optimizing Resources and Commodity Areas Overview : USASOC will realign resources to better meet our global-mission requirements. Our forces must be equipped to operate in any environment in the world for extended periods in a low-visibility and clandestine fashion. Instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we must equip our formations to meet the specific needs of their assigned missions and area of operations, especially our regionally aligned special operations units.

"text": "\"The Hidden Cost of Living COURTESY : ST. PETERSBURG TIMESBY MICHAEL VAN SICKLER, JANET ZINKPublished December 12, 2003Jehan Humayun's kitchen table is covered with stacks of documents. Humayun and his wife, Faiza, signed the closing papers this summer for a home in Heritage Isles, one of Florida's 226 communities governed by a Community Development District. Five months later, Humayun is slowly learning that buying the home left him and his family - along with more than 600 other Heritage Isles homeowners - responsible for paying off $1.3-million in annual losses racked up by their CDD. That's a detail Humayun would have liked to have known before he bought his home. Amid the hundreds of pages of documents on his table, Humayun finds only one page explaining the CDD. Not described on that page is Heritage Isle's shaky economic health - which an auditor described as being \"\"technically in a state of financial emergency. \"\" That assessment, made four months before Humayun bought his house, was never mentioned in his closing papers or by Realtors. \"\" We just weren't told the full extent of what a CDD was,\"\" Humayun said. \"\" We bought in here with infinite ignorance, and only now are we finding out how it's going to cost us. \"\""

"text": "\"Facts about Dioxins Updated October 2006The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) considers \"\"dioxins\"\" to be a group of related compounds that exhibit a similar spectrum of health effects. Dioxins are extremely persistent and once released remain in the environment a very long time. Since the 1980's regulatory and voluntary actions have dramatically reduced the amount of dioxins released into the environment and the amount of dioxins to which people are exposed. Based on recent measures it appears that levels in our bodies are decreasing. However, when current body burdens in the population are compared to the levels of concern derived from animal and human studies it is clear that it is desirable and necessary to further reduce human exposure. We all have some amount of dioxins in our bodies. Dietary intake of animal fat is the major route of exposure for the general population. For most people, eating a varied, balanced, low-fat diet will result in reduced fat intake and will reduce exposure to dioxins. A low-fat diet, aside from reducing your exposure to dioxins, also will reduce your chances of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, certain cancers, and diabetes. For MDH guidance about how to evaluate dioxin health risks, see: Methods for Estimating the Carcinogenic Health Risks from Dioxin-like Compounds (PDF: 107KB/9 pages)On this page: What are dioxins?"

The massive costs of building the infrastructure are financed by the developer with a key CDD incentive: tax-free municipal bonds. The bonds pay for not only roads and utilities, but also amenities such as clubhouses, pools, tennis courts and golf courses that entice middle-class buyers yearning for a more lofty lifestyle. Rather than paying everything up front, homeowners pay the ultimate costs for the amenities over a span of 15 to 30 years. A five-member CDD board, chosen by the developer, issues the bonds and levies taxes and assessments on the homeowners, who pay the added fees along with their county and city taxes. It is only when most of the homes in a development are sold, and all the crucial initial decisions have already been made, that homeowners can begin to sit on the board. HOA HOA is an organization created by a real estate developer for the purpose of controlling the appearance and managing any common-area assets during the marketing, managing, and selling of homes and sites in a residential subdivision.

What are dioxins?1.1 What are dioxins chemically?1.2 How are dioxins formed?1.3 What happens to dioxins when they enter the environment?1.1 What are dioxins chemically? The source document for this Digest states: CDDs are a family of 75 different compounds commonly referred to as polychlorinated dioxins. These compounds have varying harmful effects. The CDD family is divided into eight groups of chemicals based on the number of chlorine atoms in the compound. The group with one chlorine atom is called the mono-chlorinated dioxin (s). The groups with two through eight chlorine atoms are called di-chlorinated dioxin (DCDD), tri-chlorinated dioxin (Tr CDD), tetra-chlorinated dioxin ( TCDD ), penta-chlorinated dioxin (Pe CDD), hexa-chlorinated dioxin (Hx CDD), hepta-chlorinated dioxin (Hp CDD), and octa-chlorinated dioxin (OCDD). The chlorine atoms can be attached to the dioxin molecule at any one of eight positions. The name of each CDD indicates both the number and the positions of the chlorine atoms. For example, the CDD with four chlorine atoms at positions 2, 3, 7, and 8 on the dioxin molecule is called 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin or 2,3,7,8-TCDD."

What is it? A CDD is a Community Development District. This is a special purpose government entity that provides valuable community infrastructure (roads, utilities, amenities) generated by growth and allows a developer to finance those costs with a CDD via tax-free municipal bonds. The bonds pay for not only roads and utilities, but also amenities such as clubhouses, pools, tennis courts and golf courses, etc. A CDD fee is a payment structured by the developer and the County Commissioners prior to the development of the land designed to pay for the infrastructure and/or maintenance of the community. Instead of the developer coming out of pocket to pay for roads, utilities, amenities, etc. a tax-free municipal bond is used to pay for that. In other words, a type of loan/mortgage to the developer. Since this is essentially a loan, the CDD fee is the repayment of that loan."

"text": "\"The Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System ( JCIDS ), [1] is the formal United States Department of Defense (Do D) procedure which defines acquisition requirements and evaluation criteria for future defense programs. JCIDS was created to replace the previous service-specific requirements generation system, which created redundancies in capabilities and failed to meet the combined needs of all US military services. In order to correct these problems, JCIDS is intended to guide the development of requirements for future acquisition systems to reflect the needs of all four services ( Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force) by focusing the requirements generation process on needed capabilities as requested or defined by one of the US combatant commanders. In the JCIDS process, regional and functional combatant commanders give feedback early in the development process to ensure that their requirements are met. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Methodology3 JCIDS analysis4 Output documents5 Actors6 See also7 References History [ edit]JCIDS was developed under the direction of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to address shortfalls in the United States Department of Defense (Do D) requirements generation system identified by the U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. These shortfalls were identified as: not considering new programs in the context of other programs, not sufficiently considering combined service requirements and effectively prioritizing joint service requirements, and not accomplishing sufficient analysis. The drive to create JCIDS was born out of a memo in March 2002 from the Secretary of Defense to the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff requesting a study on alternative ways to evaluate requirements. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) approved the most recent JCIDS Instruction on 23 January 2015 [2] and its accompanying manual was released on 12 February 2015. CJCS Instruction (CJCSI) 3170.01I provides a top-level description of the process and outlines the organizational responsibilities. The JCIDS Manual defines performance attributes, key performance parameters, validation and approval processes, and associated document content. ["

For providers who do not have a FEIN, use their SSN. The Provider FEIN/SSN is used by CDE to determine the unduplicated number of providers (both centers and homes) serving children during a one-year period. This information is used by CDE when submitting the federal ACF-800 Annual Aggregate report. It is also used in combination with other information collected to uniquely identify provider locations. For Alternative Payment (AP) Contractors, the Provider FEIN/SSN submitted must be the FEIN or SSN of the license-exempt provider, family day care home provider, or center (the agency that operates the center) that provided the actual services to the child. For Center-based Programs and Family Child Care Home Networks, the FEIN is the tax identification number of the provider where the child actually receives services. If the child received services in a Family Child Care Home, you must enter the Family Child Care Home provider’s FEIN or SSN. If the child received services in a center, you must enter the FEIN of the agency that operates the center. Where to Find It For Alternative Payment (AP) Contractors: The agency must have the FEIN or SSN in order to make payments to the provider."

You must be ready to put in at least 2 dedicated hours for GRE. Preparing for GRE is more about getting yourself accustomed to the examination than preparing for getting all the answers right. You will have to endure 4-5 hours in a new place, staring at a monitor. It can get really boring and even scary if you haven't got the patience. So, here is my timeline for the 3 months (12 weeks) Books Required : ETS - The Official Guide to the GRE Revised General Test (With CD), Manhattan Text Completion & Sentence Equivalence, Manhattan Reading Comprehension & Essays."

You have to score a minimum of 18 on the test. Our school only has a point system and no waiting list. They base the points mostly on GPA and ACT. I took the ACT when I was in High School and got an 18, that is the lowest they accept and earns little points. At the time I didn't care about the test and didn't want to be taking it. I am scheduled to take it in October and was wondering if anyone has any ideas on prepping for it. I have earned the maximum points for the GPA and the other areas but I really need to do good on the ACT. For those of you that have taken it do you know what the average score is? Thanks, Beth4 Comments Topic Closed Aug 3, '05Quote from bethg5The ACT is required for our nursing program."

I don't know what I am doing wrong because I got good grades in class and I studied the saunder's Nclex books and took the Kaplan course. My classmates who didn't do well in school have already passed. So clearly I am doing something wrong. I am running out of money and I need to work. Can I apply to take the NCLEX PN while my application to re take the NCLEX RN is still pending? Any advise? I really don't want to lose my skills."

"text": "Candidates on the journey to pass the (ISC)² CISSP exam are constantly looking for recommendations of the best study resources to use, the most efficient ways of learning the material, and how to survive taking the exam itself. Although the CISSP journey is different for everyone, some wisdom and confidence surely can be gained by reading the recommendations of others who have already reached their CISSP -certified destination. OK, OK, here's the stuff you want to know… To pass the CISSP exam, you must know and understand the CISSP Common Body of Knowledge (CBK). There is no single text that codifies the entire CBK. Instead, the CBK is a collection of knowledge and wisdom from many fields of Information Security and derived from many resources, some of which have been specifically created to help candidates pass the CISSP exam. Quite a few choices of CISSP CBK study materials do exist. There are many exam preparation books, standards documents, multimedia materials, practice exams, and Web sites, some of which are quite popular and highly recommended. There are also many commercial study aides, with candidates wanting to know if they are worth the money to purchase. And a few candidates are looking just for the “tricks” of correctly taking the exam, or for a single resource that's guaranteed to get them a pass. How to study for the CISSP exam is another matter entirely."

"text": "\"Edit Article How to Pass the NCLEX RN Exam OK, so you've graduated from nursing school. Now, while your communications major buddies are partying, you're worrying about the most important test of your life. Yes, it's frightening, but you can pass with a little determination and perseverance. Steps1 Pay attention in nursing school. This may seem oversimplified, but the better you do academically, the less stressed you'll be when the actual test comes around. That is, if you learn the material in the first place, you won't be trying to play catch-up in your senior year and beyond.2 Take a prep test while you are still in school, such as the Mosby Assess Test, which is a set of NCLEX-style practice questions. These pre-tests can really show both your weak and your strong points, and give you a point to focus studying from. Also, doing it while you're still in school allows you to get help from your teachers while they are still easily accessible.3 If you are unclear on a concept, be dogged about learning it. Whatever it takes, if you know your weaknesses, home in on them and don't give up. Eventually, many of them will become clear to you if you come at them from a couple different angles."
