"text": "\"Electrical Repair Basics What Are Can Lights? Recessed Lighting By Timothy Thiele Updated 04/04/17Share Pin Email George Peters / Getty Images Can lights are recessed light. They get their nickname from their housings, which are cylindrical, metal, and pretty much can-like. Can lights are often used where there isn't room for a hanging fixture or where highlighting or spotlighting room features is desired. People like them in their kitchens, living rooms, and closets, along with lots of other places. But there are a few more things you should know about can lights before using them. They're Sleek One of the best things about can lights is that they're nearly flush with the ceiling and don't take up visual space. This is particularly helpful in rooms that need a lot of lights, where numerous conventional fixtures would clutter the ceiling. Flush installation also means there's nothing hanging down. And more importantly, nothing glass hanging down."

"text": "How To Layout Recessed Lighting in 4 Easy Steps© Pegasus Lighting Resources Infographic: How To Map Our Your Recessed Lights Infographic: Recessed Lighting Guide We received a question on Twitter about how to layout recessed lighting and realized it was a great topic for a how-to. If you’re using recessed lights (aka cans, high hats, pot lights, or downlights) to provide the general lighting in a room, follow these tips to create the ideal level of brightness:1. Ready your sketchbook. Use a blueprint of the room to pencil in exactly where you want the recessed lights to go. Before you start, take measurements of any furniture in the room and create paper shapes that are correctly scaled for the blueprint. This way, you will be able to see where the light will fall.2. Decide if you want to choose a focal point. If you know of a particular spot in the room that needs a recessed light directly above it, that should be your starting point. Laying out recessed lighting in a kitchen? You might want to be sure there is a light directly above the stovetop or sink."

"text": "How To's Title 24: What California Homeowners Need To Know California’s updated Building Energy Efficiency Standards took effect in July 2014, making residential spaces 25% more efficient than the previous 2008 regulations. A crucial component of these standards are the lighting codes covered under Title 24. To explain how homeowners are affected and strategies for complying with existing and new regulations, we consulted with California lighting specialists. Keep in mind that the regulations apply only to new construction or remodels, points out Terry Ohm of Ohm Lighting in San Francisco. And although Title 24 affects several areas of the home, the kitchen is most impacted as it alone must meet specific wattage requirements. Knox Line Voltage Linear Suspension Light from TECH Lighting According to Title 24, at least 50% of the wattage in the kitchen must be consumed by high-efficacy lighting, which typically refers to LEDs and fluorescents. To qualify as high-efficacy, luminaires must be certified by the manufacturer to the California Energy Commission and can’t contain a socket that allows low-efficacy lighting, such as an incandescent. If they are LED, they must offer a minimum of 90 (out of 100) on the color-rendering index (CRI), which measures crispness and color accuracy. This is a fairly high CRI figure so confirm your fixtures meet the standard. In addition, the color temperature range must be between 2700-4000k for indoor use, which is a warmer and more ambient light than some of the earlier LEDs."

Ceiling fans with DC motors use on average less than 1/3 the electricity of a ceiling fan that uses a traditional motor. Also, they typically produce more cubic feet per minute of airflow than traditional ceiling fans, thus giving them a three to four times more airflow efficiency, according to EPA (Energy Protection Act) standards. This is especially true for DC motor equipped large ceiling fans. Another reason to buy DC ceiling fans is for flexibility in the control of the fans operation. All ceiling fans with DC motors come standard with a handheld remote control, giving full function capability to control the fan speeds, lights (If equipped), and forward and reverse. Another bonus is these fans have twice as many speeds as most normal ceiling fans, meaning you will receive six speeds rather than only three speeds. Modern Fan Outlet has just what you need in DC ceiling fan selection. Take your time and browse our inventory for your exact needs."

Lighting design is both an art and a science. Our homes thrive when we choose the right mix of lighting, and recessed lighting is a big part of that success. Well-placed recessed lighting (also known as can lights or downlights) can highlight a room's best feature or help us focus on the task at hand. Check out the tips below on how to get just the right amount of recessed lighting into your life. CORE Architects Find your total wattage. Here’s a handy formula to figure out how much light your room needs: Multiply the length of the room by the width to find the total area. Multiply the area by 1.5; this is the total wattage you’ll need to light the room. For example: If your room is 17 feet wide and 20 feet long, the total area is 340 square feet. Multiply 340 by 1.5, and you’ll get 510, so you’ll need 510 watts of total light to efficiently light your room."

"text": "Insulation acts as a barrier to heat flow and is essential for keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer. A well-insulated and well-designed home provides year-round comfort, cutting cooling and heating bills by up to half. This, in turn, reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Climatic conditions influence the appropriate level and type of insulation. Establish whether the insulation is predominantly needed to keep heat out or in (or both). Insulation must cater for seasonal as well as daily variations in temperature (see ‘Insulation levels for your climate’ below). Source: SEAV 2002Typical heat losses and gains without insulation in a temperate climate. Use passive design techniques in conjunction with insulation. For example, if insulation is installed but the house is not properly shaded, built-up heat can be kept in by the insulation, creating an ‘oven’ effect. Draught sealing is also important, as draughts can account for up to 25% of heat loss from a home in winter (see Passive solar heating; Passive cooling; Sealing your home)."

We use all sizes in our projects, depending on what the lighting plan is, but the most important factor is that the lighting is adequate for the task. The typical main goal of recessed cans is to provide consistent general illumination, but the spacing of the lights and the ceiling height affect that tremendously. Make sure you have a spacing of no more than 5ft apart (for an 8ft ceiling) in order to have good illumination. Also, I strongly recommend you consider LED instead of CFL bulbs."

"text": "Insulation Glasswool and rock wool batts are two of the most commonly used types of insulation in Australia. Insulation is material designed to prevent heat or sound from being transmitted from one area to another. It's normally used to keep heat and/or sound in or out of your home, or to confine it to certain parts of your house. Insulation can work in a number of different ways, but it most commonly incorporates materials that consist of millions of tiny pockets of air. Still air is an extremely good insulator, and trapped pockets of air are what give most types of insulation their high thermal resistance. Thermal insulation to control heat This is the sort of insulation people normally think of first when they hear the word ‘insulation’. Thermal insulation is usually found in walls and ceilings, especially the outside walls of a home where heat is most likely to be gained or lost. The idea behind thermal insulation is very simple; to keep one side of the insulation warmer than the other. If you live in an area where the weather varies through the seasons, your insulation will need to be coupled with the correct passive design principles. If it's always hot or cold where you live, then your insulation will be incorporated into the design with that in mind."

"text": "\"At this point, LED bulbs are the hybrid cars of lighting. They're cheaper to operate but cost more upfront than their less-efficient cousins. There have been LED spotlights and smaller lights for years, but now people can buy LED bulbs that give out as much light as a 60-watt incandescent and are designed for use just about anywhere. And rather than purchase them online or in a specialty store, they will be available at Home Depot, Lowes, and no doubt other familiar retail outlets next year.3More LED bulbs to choose from (photos)Weighing cost and light quality, LEDs are worth considering right now for downlights and worth keeping an eye on if you have a lot of incandescent bulbs. If you already have a lot of CFLs in places like desktop lamps, don't expect a quick payback by switching over. But LEDs offer some other advantages, notably longer life. Lighting your living space is obviously a very personal decision, but as you think about upgrading with energy efficiency in mind, here are a few factors to consider. Cost The good news on LEDs are that these lights, quality-wise, are quite good and they put out enough light for a lot of needs. But there's no getting around the fact that LED bulbs for general lighting are a new technology that comes with a price premium. Home Depot's 800 lumen Philips LED bulb is priced at just under $40 and consumes 12 watts."

Nearly every home can benefit from recessed lights, also referred to as pot lights, can lights or downlights. What are recessed lights? Recessed lighting consists of fixtures installed into hollow openings in the ceiling. The fixtures point down, giving the impression of spotlights or floodlights depending on lumination power. Put on a dimmer, recessed lights fill the room with an inviting ambiance. Positioned over a countertop or chair, they make tasks from cooking to reading easier. Directed toward keepsakes or artwork, they accent the most beautiful parts of a home. Need professional help with your project? Get quotes from top-rated pros."

"text": "Fitting Downlights Find out how to fit downlights in your home with our easy to use guide How Many Downlights Do I Need? This very much comes down to personal preference. Personally I prefer to fit more than is required, and then divide them up onto different switches. This will create different lighting effects. For example, if you are putting the downlights into a kitchen you could have the downlights that are placed over the worktops on one switch and the other downlights that are illuminating the rest of the kitchen on another switch - possibly a dimmer. This then means that you have good task lighting where needed and controllable mood lighting elsewhere. However, there are still some important factors to remember. Without having any technical information about your particular room, use the following ‘Rule of Thumb’. This best describes a kitchen, but can be adjusted for any room in your house. Firstly, make sure the Downlights that are going to be closest to your walls are no more than 600mm to 800mm into the room."

"text": "Lighting When installed properly, halogen downlights should have at least 200mm clearance from structural members and insulation. When the then Minister for the Environment Peter Garrett announced the Energy Efficient Homes package including the installation of ceiling insulation in 2.7 million homes in February 2009, concerns were raised about the potential dangers relating to insulation around electrical wiring, downlights, proper training for installers and the like (these have now been addressed in AS 3999 amendment 1 (March 2012)). Regardless, the program began in July 2009, and soon the incidence of fires and a number of related deaths meant that the Government’s initiative was the subject of heavy criticism and a growing public concern regarding the safety of the insulation that had been installed in Australian homes. These incidents also generated a lot of fear and confusion in regards to incandescent halogen downlights and their appropriateness for residential installations. Halogen downlights are safe when installed correctly. Historical issues History shows that downlights have been around a very long time, at least 50 years in one form or another. The first versions were quite crude but they have since evolved into quite sophisticated pieces of equipment with very high levels of light output. The energy consumption, life span, size of the globe and various other aspects have all continued to evolve and improve. Managing heat from downlights has always been an issue though. It has long been reported that when heat generated by the stylish lighting mixes with loose, flammable insulation in the roof cavity, the results are potentially disastrous."

He said,“they have given themselves over for money to the error of Bil'am” (CJB)Who is Jude warning the church about?“certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. “He is warning about people within the Church. And he calls them\"\"wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. \"\" It is worth reading the whole letter of Jude to get the context. The error must be serious since it is associated with the way of Cain (Genesis 4 – he murdered his brother) and the rebellion of Korah (Numbers 16 – he rose up against Moses)Peter also uses Balaam in his warnings to the church (2 Peter 2 v15-16They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness. But he was rebuked for his wrongdoing by a donkey--a beast without speech--who spoke with a man's voice and restrained the prophet's madness. These men are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.

"text": "Hoodoo Spell to Remove Evil Spirits An evil spirit is one of the best ways to haunt and curse a person. Lately I've had several clients come to me seeking help for inexplicable conditions that feel like a curse. Everything the try to accomplish falls apart, and good opportunities turn sour. Their relationships are afflicted with constant arguments, and they can't seem to be able to keep a job. They have difficulty sleeping and sometimes feel like there is a presence around them. With some divination I confirmed that these particular clients were being cursed by an evil spirit that was sent to torment them. If you think you may be afflicted in a similar manner, it's best to get a Rootwork Consultation with Dr. E. to get to the bottom of what is afflicting you. Cursing with Evil Spirits of the Dead In order to understand how this hoodoo spell to remove evil spirits works, you have to understand how and why people curse and haunt people with spirits of the dead. One of the most effective ways to curse someone is to send a dead spirit after them. The spirit works tirelessly as instructed by the rootworker who sent it."

Ever since my 17-year-old daughter was about 11, she has been very willful and disobedient. She stays out past her curfew, not phoning if she will be late, does poorly in school, won't do chores when asked to, etc. I have enlisted the help of a counselor, whose conclusion was that my daughter was purposely trying to drive me crazy. I also had her tested to see if she had any learning disabilities and was told that she was above grade level in reading and math, but just was not motivated to do better. She has been pregnant twice. I later found out that she had gotten an abortion and had a miscarriage. Several months ago, she came in the house smelling like alcohol, and when I confronted her, she cursed at me and claimed that she had not been drinking. I have been called to her school because she had cursed at a teacher, she took a knife to school, and was arrested for shoplifting. Last week she stayed out all night."

Mobile phones are now inexpensive, easy to use, comfortable and equipped with almost every latest feature we desire. Mobile phones are also known as lifesavers as they can help people in emergencies. If you get stuck in the middle of the road and find no one for help, you can just use a mobile phone and call for help. Mobile phones are comfortable way of communication over a long distance. Along with the obvious convenience and quick access to help in emergencies big and small, mobile phones can be both economical and essential for travelers trying to stay connected. In Japan, mobile phone companies provide immediate notification of earthquakes and other natural disasters to their customers free of charge. In the event of an emergency, disaster response crews can locate trapped or injured people using the signals from their mobile phones or the small detonator of flare in the battery of every cell phone; an interactive menu accessible through the phone's Internet browser notifies the company if the user is safe or in distress.

This bulla belonged to Jeremiah's scribe Baruch Learn more about the Baruch Bulla Son of a Levitical priest, Jeremiah ben-Hilkiah was a priest who was from Anathoth, a city 6 miles northeast of Jerusalem ( Jeremiah 1:1 ). His ministry was extensive covering about 45 years (626 BC – 586 BC) and witnessed the crumbling of the Assyrian Empire and the rise of the Chaldean Babylonians. Jeremiah’s ministry had two purposes: 1) calling Jews to repent and return to faith in the God of Israel, and 2) bringing God’s message of judgment in accordance to the Mosaic Covenant. In contrast to other inspired authors, much is known about the life and personality of Jeremiah, because of the autobiographical nature of the book. He spent his life alone without a wife as God requested ( Jer 16:1-2 ), but had at least one faithful companion, Baruch, who served as his scribe and spokesman.2.

The first installment, Child’s Play, was released on November 9, 1988. The film has spawned six sequels and has gone into other media, such as comic books. The films are all centered on Charles Lee Ray (played by Dourif) aka Chucky, a notorious serial killer known as the \"\"Lakeshore Strangler\"\" whose soul is transferred inside a Good Guy doll following a voodoo ritual to avoid the afterlife and possibly going to hell. The first, second, and fourth films were box office successes with all of the films earning over $182 million worldwide. Including revenues from sales of videos, DVDs, VOD and merchandise, the series has generated over $250 million. [ 1]The series originally started out as straight horror with the first installment Child’s Play, which appears to have more psychological horror elements while its successors are straightforward slasher films with elements of dark humour. As the films progressed, they became satirical and campy, until the series briefly became a gothic horror comedy, beginning with 1998's Bride of Chucky and 2004's Seed of Chucky. On June 23, 2012, it was confirmed that a new film would be made under the title Curse of Chucky and be released direct-to-video. Unlike Bride and Seed, Curse of Chucky is a full-fledged horror film much like the original three installments."

OUR LORD, COME!Both of these statements are true, the first serving to undergird the absolute assurance of the second, which may account for the fact that this ancient word has been translated both ways. In fact Maranatha is translated either as a prayer or a statement of fact. As discussed in more detail below, the majority of Bible translations favor Maranatha as indicative of a prayer rather that a declarative statement. Furthermore, it is widely noted that the word \"\" Maranatha \"\" was a watchword of the early church used in greetings as a prayer for the Lord to return. This begs the question - Does the modern church mimic the first century church by praying \"\"Maranatha?\"\" The related applicational question is are we as the Bride of Christ, corporately and individually, living holy lives in the ever brightening light of the return of Jesus, our Bridegroom? Thomas Constable comments on the occurrence of Maranatha in 1Cor 16:22, noting that It is strange to meet with an Aramaic phrase in a Greek letter to a Greek Church. The explanation is that this phrase had become a watchword and a password. It summed up the vital hope of the early Church, and Christians whispered it to each other, identified each other by it, in a language which the heathen could not understand. ("

The view from Mount Ebal of Tel Aviv Mount Ebal ( Arabic: جبل عيبال Jabal ‘Aybāl; Hebrew: הר עיבל Har ‘Eival) is one of the two mountains in the immediate vicinity of the city of Nablus in the West Bank ( biblical Shechem ), and forms the northern side of the valley in which Nablus is situated, the southern side being formed by Mount Gerizim. [ 1] The mountain is one of the highest peaks in the West Bank and rises to 940 m (3,080 ft) above sea level, some 60 m (200 ft) higher than Mount Gerizim. [ 2] Mount Ebal is approximately 17 km 2 (6.6 sq mi) in area, [2] and is composed primarily of limestone. [ 3] The slopes of the mountain contain several large caverns which were probably originally quarries, [3] and at the base towards the north are several tombs. [ 4]Contents [ hide ]1 Biblical account2 Archaeology3 References4 External links Biblical account [ edit]In advance of the Israelites' entry to the Promised Land, Deuteronomy 11:29 records Moses' direction that \"\"when the Lord your God has brought you into the land which you go to possess, that you shall put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal\"\". In the masoretic text and the Septuagint version of Deuteronomy 27, an instruction is given to build an altar on Mount Ebal, constructed from natural (rather than cut) stones, to place stones there and whiten them with lime, [5] [4] to make peace offerings on the altar, eat there, and write the words of this law on the stone. [ 6] According to the Samaritan Pentateuch version, this instruction actually concerns Mount Gerizim, which the Samaritans view as a holy site; [7] some scholars believe that the Samaritan version is probably more accurate in this respect, the compilers of the masoretic text and authors of the Septuagint being likely to be biased against the Samaritans. [ 7] Recent Dead Sea Scrolls work supports the accuracy of the Samaritan Pentateuch's designation of Mount Gerizim rather than Mount Ebal as the sacred site. ["

Flora's dress is predominantly red with her petticoat, cape clasp cuffs and hat veil a dark yellow.

"text": "Mild Stroke Mild strokes, (also known as a transient ischemic attack or TIA), are both a blessing and a cursing. The reason why mild strokes can be a blessing is that at least they let a person know they are prone to getting strokes before any major damage is done to their bodies. With this knowledge they can take preventative measures by taking stroke medication. However, mild strokes are a curse because many people never go to the doctor when they get one. And the consequences associated with ignoring a mild stroke could lead to one that may be much more serious… maybe even deadly. With that being said, how can a person tell if they’ve had a mild stroke? Well, the signs of a mild stroke are basically the same as what one gets with a ‘regular’ stroke. This includes paralysis on one side of the body, slurred speech and general confusion. But the difference between mild stroke and a regular stroke is that the symptoms don’t last as long. In fact, many mild strokes only last a few minutes, but the damage has still been done."

By Lenny Rudow May 28, 2014People who don’t own boats tend to think you have to be rich to afford one. Balderdash. Those of us who know better—myself included—have experienced affordable boating while living in middle-class America with our mortgage, our car payments—and yes, boats of our own. In fact, do a little research (Discover Boating has a good cost-comparison calculator) and you’ll find that buying an average-cost boat isn't much different from taking the family golfing a dozen times a year, or going to 10 or 12 pro football and/or baseball games annually. And yes, you can make boating even more affordable than this. Here are five options that will lower that cost barrier and get you out on the water. Buying a used boat saves you considerable money - though in some cases, it can turn out to be a curse rather than a blessing.1. Buy Used This is the most obvious—and common—way to keep boating costs in check. Just as with cars, the moment a new boat leaves the showroom it takes a serious devaluation hit."

Given the billions of neurons, this means there are as many connections in a single cubic centimeter of brain tissue as there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy ”—David Eagleman Have you ever taken a device apart to find out how it works? Many of us have done so, whether to attempt a repair or simply to satisfy our curiosity. A device’s internal workings are often distinct from its user interface on the outside. For example, we don’t think about microchips and circuits when we turn up the volume on a mobile phone; instead, we think about getting the volume just right. Similarly, the inner workings of the human body are often distinct from the external expression of those workings. It is the job of psychologists to find the connection between these—for example, to figure out how the firings of millions of neurons become a thought.

It helps enhance muscle strength, metabolism, water balance, electrolytic functions, and the nervous system. It is the third most abundant mineral in the human body and is a powerful element in improving health. It contains the components for maintaining a high level of well-being and an improved lifestyle. You should not underestimate the importance of potassium in your dietary plan. Apart from acting as an electrolyte, this mineral is required for keeping the heart, brain, kidney, muscle tissue, and other important organ systems of the human body in a good condition. Potassium chloride is the main variety of this mineral, and it works in association with sodium to perform a number of critical tasks within the body. Symptoms of Potassium Deficiency Deficiency of any nutrient in the body is undesirable and potassium is not an exception. A diet deficient in it may lead to symptoms like fatigue and muscle weakness. Other indications for its deficiency include inactive reflexes, abnormal heartbeat, heart palpitations, anemia, and severe headaches."

"text": "The sympathetic trunk is a pair of structures alongside the spinal cord that makes up a key component of the sympathetic nervous system. It consists of chains of nerve cells linked together, with periodically spaced ganglia, clusters of sympathetic nerve cells used for information processing. Also known as the ganglionic cord or sympathetic chain, these structures run from the skull to the tailbone and carry a variety of signals to and from the viscera of the body. Damage to the nerves as a result of injury or disease can be problematic. Some nerves that perform tasks inside the sympathetic nervous system arise directly from this structure. These include the splanchnic nerves, which carry signals to organs like the heart. Additionally, the sympathetic trunk connects with the spinal nerves with structures called rami communicantes. Some of these are covered in a myelin sheath, and are known as white rami communicantes, while others are unmyelinated, and classified as “grey” in a reference to the appearance of their exposed nerve cells. Structurally, the two chains of the sympathetic trunk are symmetrical. They create a complex series of connections between the spinal nerves and the nerves of the sympathetic nervous systems."

Learning Objective Describe the function of the cerebrum Key Takeaways Key Points The cerebrum is the largest and most developed of the five major divisions of the brain. The brain contains two hemispheres, the left and the right, connected by a bundle of nerve fibers called the corpus callosum. The cerebrum directs the conscious or volitional motor functions of the body. Damage to this area of the brain can result in loss of muscular power and precision rather than total paralysis. The primary sensory areas of the cerebral cortex receive and process visual, auditory, somatosensory, gustatory, and olfactory information. Each hemisphere of the mammalian cerebral cortex can be broken down into four functionally and spatially defined lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital. Key Termssulci: Any of the grooves that mark the convolutions of the surface of the brain (plural of sulcus).cerebral cortex: The cerebrum’s outer layer of neural tissuecomposed of folded gray matter.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates the internal environment of the body including factors such as body temperature, blood pressure and concentrations of many substances. The ANS is also responsible for mobilising the body's resources during stressful situations. The ANS controls gland cells, cardiac muscle cells and smooth muscle cells. Control of this nervous system is involuntary and regulation is via autonomic reflexes. The autonomic reflex arc system is very similar to that of the somatic motor system, i.e. there are sensory (afferent) nerve fibres, an information integration centre, motor (efferent) fibres and effector cells. Any levels of increased activity within the autonomic nervous system can result in both stimulation or inhibition of effector cells, although it is only the efferent part of the reflex arc that is actually considered autonomic. The autonomic nervous system is made up of the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) and the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS). The SNS is activated during critical situations, such as fight or flight responses whilst the PNS is activated whilst at rest, such as during food digestion after eating."

The units correspond to individual neurons, neuronal populations, or anatomically segregated brain regions. The connectivity pattern is formed by structural links such as synapses or fiber pathways, or it represents statistical or causal relationships measured as cross-correlations, coherence, or information flow. Neural activity, and by extension neural codes, are constrained by connectivity. Brain connectivity is thus crucial to elucidating how neurons and neural networks process information.

Neural connectivity patterns have long attracted the attention of neuroanatomists ( Cajal, 1909; Brodmann, 1909; Swanson, 2003) and play crucial roles in determining the functional properties of neurons and neuronal systems. In more highly evolved nervous systems, brain connectivity can be described at several levels of scale. These levels include individual synaptic connections that link individual neurons at the microscale, networks connecting neuronal populations at the mesoscale, as well as brain regions linked by fiber pathways at the macroscale."

The brain is located in the head, usually close to the sensory organs for senses such as vision. The brain is the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body. In a human, the cerebral cortex contains approximately 15–33 billion neurons, [1] each connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body targeting specific recipient cells. Physiologically, the function of the brain is to exert centralized control over the other organs of the body."

Learning how the cells and organs (like the brain) function, help us understand the biological basis behind human psychology. The nervous system is composed of two basic cell types: glial cells (also known as glia) and neurons. Glial cells, which outnumber neurons ten to one, are traditionally thought to play a supportive role to neurons, both physically and metabolically. Glial cells provide scaffolding on which the nervous system is built, help neurons line up closely with each other to allow neuronal communication, provide insulation to neurons, transport nutrients and waste products, and mediate immune responses. Neurons , on the other hand, serve as interconnected information processors that are essential for all of the tasks of the nervous system. This section briefly describes the structure and function of neurons. Neuron structure Neurons are the central building blocks of the nervous system, 100 billion strong at birth.

Bialor, Certified Pharmacy Technician Answered Mar 22, 2016The Nucleus of a cell contains all of the genetic information for the organism as a whole. So in other words, it contains the knowledge of the composition of the entire organism, including the coding on how to \"\"manufacture\"\" different parts of the cell, different chemicals in the organism, and even whole organs and organ systems. For example, let's take the Human body. The Human genome is based on Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) which is twisted and coiled into 23 chromosome pairs. Within those pairs, one chromosome is from our Mother and the other from our Father, biologically speaking. The last pair of which is known as the Sex chromosomes. To put it simply, XX for a Female, and XY for a Male. All of this information is stored inside the nucleus of every cell within our bodies. For example, Nerve cells (or Neurons) have the entire genetic code stored in their nucleus, even though it only uses the genes pertinent to its function. This is universal throughout all Eukaryotic life, that is organisms consisting of cells that have nuclei."

Learning how the cells and organs (like the brain) function, help us understand the biological basis behind human psychology. The nervous system is composed of two basic cell types: glial cells (also known as glia) and neurons. Glial cells, which outnumber neurons ten to one, are traditionally thought to play a supportive role to neurons, both physically and metabolically. Glial cells provide scaffolding on which the nervous system is built, help neurons line up closely with each other to allow neuronal communication, provide insulation to neurons, transport nutrients and waste products, and mediate immune responses. Neurons, on the other hand, serve as interconnected information processors that are essential for all of the tasks of the nervous system. This section briefly describes the structure and function of neurons. Neuron Structure Neurons are the central building blocks of the nervous system, 100 billion strong at birth. Like all cells, neurons consist of several different parts, each serving a specialized function ( [link] ). A neuron’s outer surface is made up of a semipermeable membrane."

Complete and Total Idiot · 1 decade ago3 0 Comment Asker's rating An atom is the smallest particle. A cell is way larger than a single atom. I'll put it this way, if you had a microscope and you placed an atom under the light; you would not ever be able to see it, it is just way to small. Yet if you were to place a cell underneath the microscope light, you would be able to see everything in the cell. Hope I was of some help. Great question for an 8yr old to ask, very smart boy."

The exploration of microcosmos has led to numerous discoveries, without which we would be left with the limited knowledge our eyes give us. The development of the conventional microscope at the end of the 16 th century would lead to a great step forward for science, particularly in biology and medicine. In the beginning though, the microscope was mainly a toy in rich homes. But many important discoveries followed. The first scientific results based on microscopy dealt with the circulating blood system and changed our view of the human body. Scientists have also discovered and explored life's own building block – the cell. Different types of bacteria and the following struggle against diseases, as well as studies of different materials and their qualities are other valuable results."

"text": "\"Properties of Solids As you should remember from the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules in solids are not moving in the same manner as those in liquids or gases. Solid molecules simply vibrate and rotate in place rather than move about. Solids are generally held together by ionic or strong covalent bonding, and the attractive forces between the atoms, ions, or molecules in solids are very strong. In fact, these forces are so strong that particles in a solid are held in fixed positions and have very little freedom of movement. Solids have definite shapes and definite volumes and are not compressible to any extent. There are two main categories of solids—crystalline solids and amorphous solids. Crystalline solids are those in which the atoms, ions, or molecules that make up the solid exist in a regular, well-defined arrangement. The smallest repeating pattern of crystalline solids is known as the unit cell, and unit cells are like bricks in a wall—they are all identical and repeating. The other main type of solids are called the amorphous solids. Amorphous solids do not have much order in their structures."

"title": "http://www.traceminerals.com/research/colloidal\nColloidal and Ionic Minerals: The Difference is in the ABSORPTION!!!!",
"text": "By Dr. Chris Meletis N. D. Minerals can generally be found in two different forms. The first form is that of a colloid, where minerals are suspended in a stable form. In this stable form, the minerals are evenly distributed throughout the medium in which they are suspended. Minerals in this colloid state are held in large, organized patterns, whereby they remain in suspension without settling out. Colloidal minerals are not readily absorbed by the body due to the absence of an electrical charge and their relatively large size, unlike other mineral forms. In fact, one definition of a colloid is as a substance that when suspended in a liquid phase, will not easily diffuse through a living membrane. 1 Colloid arrangements are unable to pass through the membrane which lines the digestive tract, from the mouth all the way out. It is argued that colloidal mineral forms are more easily dispersed in the body; however, this does not improve their absorption. In fact, it is necessary for the body to break these minerals down into smaller constituents in order for them to be absorbed. Manufacturers claim that supplements made from these colloids are more balanced than other mineral supplements and are in a natural form that is easier for the body to use."

The three components in an X-ray crystallographic analysis are a protein crystal, a source of x-rays, and a detector. X-ray crystallography is used to investigate molecular structures through the growth of solid crystals of the molecules they study. Crystallographers aim high-powered X-rays at a tiny crystal containing trillions of identical molecules. The crystal scatters the X-rays onto an electronic detector. The electronic detector is the same type used to capture images in a digital camera. After each blast of X-rays, lasting from a few seconds to several hours, the researchers precisely rotate the crystal by entering its desired orientation into the computer that controls the X-ray apparatus. This enables the scientists to capture in three dimensions how the crystal scatters, or diffracts, X-rays. The intensity of each diffracted ray is fed into a computer, which uses a mathematical equation to calculate the position of every atom in the crystallized molecule. The result is a three-dimensional digital image of the molecule."

Named the periodic relationship that he observed in chemical properties the law of octaves - Did not work for all elements and others thought the musical analogy was unscientific - The properties of elements repeat in a periodic way- conclusion Meyer, Mendeleev 1869- Meyer and Mendeleev each demonstrated a connection between atomic mass and elemental properties Mendeleev- given more credit because he published his organization scheme first and went on to better demonstrate its usefulness Like Newlands- noticed that when the elements were ordered by increasing atomic mass, there was a repetition, or periodic pattern - Arranged elements in increasing atomic mass into columns with similar properties - First periodic table - Left blank spaces where he thought the undiscovered elements would go - By noting trends in the properties of known elements, he was able to predict the properties of the not yet discovered elements scandium, gallium, and germanium - NOT COMPLETELY correct- after new elements were discovered and atomic masses of the known element were more accurately determined, apparent that several elements in his table were not in the correct order - Arranging elements by mass resulted in several elements being placed in groups of elements with differing properties Moseley 1913- Discovered that atoms of each element contain a unique number of protons in their nuclei- the number of protons being equal to the atom's atomic number -Arranged elements in increasing atomic number -Resulted in clear periodic pattern of properties Periodic Law The statement that there is a periodic repetition of chemical and physical properties of the elements when they are arranged by increasing atomic number Groups Columns Periods Rows/Families How many periods 7Representative Elements The groups designated 1A,2A,3A,4A,5A,6A,7A,8A (Not including transition elements)Transition elements d orbitals, groups 3-12Metals -Shiny when smooth and clean, solid at room temperature, and good conductors of heat and energy -Most are malleable and ductile, meaning they can be pounded into small sheets and drawn into wires Alkali metals - Group 1, except for hydrogen, more reactive than the alkaline earth metals and are chemically reactive - React with water to form alkaline solutions- can produce lye - Can easily lose a valence electron and form +1 ions - Soft enough to cut with a knife - Highly reactive and are found combined with other elements in nature - Samples stored in oil to prevent a reaction with oxygen in the air Alkaline earth metals Group 2- chemically reactive - For compounds with Oxygen, called oxides - Shiny solids - Calcium, strontium, barium react vigorously with room temp water Transition metals and inner transition metals Inner- Lanthanides and actinides- bottom of periodic table Transition metals- Rest of the metals in groups 3-12Nonmetals -Gases or brittle, dull looking solids -Poor conductors of heat and electricity -

Silicon and germanium- most important and are used in computer chips and solar cells Valence electrons -Electrons in the highest principal energy level -Elements in group 1A have similar chem properties because they have the same number pf valence electrons - Atoms in the same group have similar chem properties because they have the same number of valence electrons Valence electrons and period The energy level of an element's valence electrons indicates the period on the periodic table in which it is found Valence electrons and group number Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electronss block elements consist of group 1 and 2, elements in group 2 have completely filled s orbitals containing completely filled s orbitals with 1 valence electron and electron configurations in s2.p block elements - fill after p level - the valence electrons next occupy the p sublevel and its three p orbitals - no p block elements in period 1 because the p sublevel doe not exist for the first principal energy level n=1 -

do not fill orbitals in a predictable manner - 7 f orbitals up to a max of 14 electrons - periods 6 and 7 contain spdf Atomic radius - defined by how closely an atom lies to a neighboring atom - because of the nature of the neighboring atom can vary from one substance to another, the size of the atom itself tends to vary somewhat from substance to substance - the electron cloud surrounding a nucleus is cased on probability and does not have a clearly defined edge -metals like sodium- atomic radius is defined as half the distance between adjacent nuclei in a crystal of element - for many elements that commonly occur as molecules, such as many nonmetals, the atomic radius is defined as half the distance between nuclei of identical atoms that are chemically bonded together Trends within periods - A pattern of atomic size emerges as you look across a period - There is a decrease in atomic radii as you move left to right across a period - Trend caused by the increasing positive charge in the nucleus and that the fact that the principal energy level within a period remains the same - Each successive element has one additional proton and electron, and each additional electron is added to the same principal energy level - Moving across a period, no additional electrons come between the valence electrons and the nucleus - Valence electrons are not shielded from the increased nuclear charge - The increased nuclear charge pulls the outermost electrons closer to the nucleus - Across period- atomic radius decreases - Across group- atomic radius increases Trends within groups - Atomic radii generally increase as you move down a group - Nuclear charge increases and electrons are added to the successively higher principal energy levels - Outermost orbital increases in size along with the increasing principal energy level, making the atom larger - The larger orbital means that the outer electrons are farther from the nucleus - As additional orbitals between the nucleus and the other electrons are occupied, these electrons shield the other electrons from the pull of the nucleus Ionic Radius - When atoms lose electrons and form positively charged ions, they always become smaller - The loss of a valence electron may leave a completely empty outer orbital, which results in a smaller radius - Electrostatic repulsion between the now fewer number of remaining electrons decreases, allowing them to be pulled closer to the nucleus - When atoms gain electrons and form negatively charged ions, they always become larger - The addition of an electron to an atom increases the electrostatic repulsion between the atom's outer electrons, forcing them to move farther apart Ionic Radius- Trends within periods - Elements on the left side of the table form smaller positive ions - Elements on the right side of the table form larger negative ions - Left to right across a period- positive ions gradually decreases - In groups 15-17, size of larger negative ions also decreases Ionic Radius- Trends within groups - As you move down, the ion's outer electrons are in higher principal energy levels, resulting in a gradual increase in ionic size - As you move down a group in the periodic table, additional layers of electrons are being added, which naturally causes the ionic radius to increase as you move down the periodic table. Ionization Energy -The energy required to remove an electron from a gaseous atom - The energy required to remove the first electron from an atom is called the first ionization energy - Ionization energy of lithium- 8.64 x 10^-19 J - Loss forms Li+ ion - Ionization energy- indication of how strongly an atom's nucleus holds onto its valence electrons - High ionization energy value- atom has a strong hold on its valence electrons (less likely to form positive ions) - Low ionization energy value indicates an atom loses its outer electron easily (likely to form positive ions) -The amount of energy required to remove a second electron from a 1+ ion is called second ionization energy, the amount of energy required to remove a third electron from a 2+ ion is called third ionization energy, etc - Left to right- ionization energy increases (not smoothly) - For each element there is an ionization for which the required energy jumps dramatically - Lithium- second ionization energy (7300 k J/mol) is much greater than first ionization energy (520 k J/mol) - lithium atom is relatively likely to lose its first valence electron, but extremely unlikely to lose its second - The jump in ionization energy shows that atoms hold onto their inner core electrons much greater than their valence electrons Ionization energy- tr"

"text": "\"Intelligent Design Medicine Enzymes and Their Dynamic Role in the Cell Howard Glicksman March 17, 2015, 3:35 AMEditor’s note: Physicians have a special place among the thinkers who have elaborated the argument for intelligent design. Perhaps that’s because, more than evolutionary biologists, they are familiar with the challenges of maintaining a functioning complex system, the human body. With that in mind, Evolution News & Views is delighted to present this series, “The Designed Body.” For the complete series, see here. Dr. Glicksman practices palliative medicine for a hospice organization. In this series so far, we’ve looked at what makes up the human cell and what it needs to do to stay alive. We learned that, because they constantly threaten to alter the cell’s chemical content and volume, the natural powers of diffusion and osmosis must somehow be combated. The cell has come up with an innovation to do exactly that. It has millions of sodium-potassium pumps in its plasma membrane that constantly push sodium back out of the cell and bring potassium inside. While thus maintaining its chemical content, the cell is also able to control its volume by preventing water from entering by osmosis."

"text": "The Giant Molecules of Life Lipids and Polysaccharides Hydrocarbons The basic 'monomer' from which general hydrocarbons are constructed is a - [CH 2 ]- unit. These are joined together in long, straight chains to form molecules such as octane. Hydrocarbons contain and store a lot of energy in their bonds, and are thus good fuel molecules (gasoline, for example contains a lot of hydrocarbons). However, they are strongly hydrophobic (they 'hate' water), so it is very difficult for living cells and organisms to manipulate and use pure hydrocarbons. About the only use for nearly pure hydrocarbons is wax, which is so strongly hydrophobic that it is used as a waterproofing material. Fatty Acids Fatty acids consist of long, unbranched hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group at one end. The number of carbon atoms in a fatty acid molecule is usually even (6, 8, 12, 32, 36, etc. ), although it is not impossible to find a fatty acid with an odd number of carbon atoms in its structure. While the long, hydrocarbon chain of the fatty acid continues to be strongly hydrophobic, the presence of the carboxylic acid group at one end of the molecule adds some hydrophilic properties. Small fatty acids such as propionic acid (with 3 carbon atoms) mixes with water readily, caproic acid (with 6 carbon atoms) is only 0.4 percent soluble in water."

"text": "\"THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER - http://www.oilhealer.com/bloodbrain.cfm By David Stewart, Ph. D.,R. A. It was thought for years that the interstitial tissues of the brain served as a barrier to keep damaging substances from reaching the neurons of the brain and the cerebrospinal fluid. Instead of a barrier, it would be more accurate to consider it as a sieve or filter through which only molecules of a certain size or smaller can pass. Most of the molecules of the substances used in chemotherapy are too large to pass through the blood-brain filter, which is why doctors say that chemotherapy doesn't work on brain cancer. Some of the smaller molecules get through, but not the whole suite of drugs intended. Doctors don't know for sure, but it seems that in order to cross the blood-brain barrier, only molecules less than 800-1000 atomic mass units (amu) in molecular weight can get through. Lipid solubility seems to be another factor which facilitates passing through the blood-brain barrier. Water soluble molecules don't usually penetrate into brain tissue, even when very small. The molecules of essential oils are all not only small, but lipid soluble as well. In fact, when it comes to essential oils, small molecules (less than 500 amu) are what they are made of."

"text": "\"This page is about the quasiparticle. Exciton is also the title of a single by IDM composer Squarepusher. An exciton is a bound state of an electron and an imaginary particle called an electron hole in an insulator or semiconductor, and such is a Coulomb - correlated electron-hole pair. It is an elementary excitation, or a quasiparticle of a solid. In current research, the bound electron and hole pairs (excitons) provide a means to transport energy without transporting net charge. [ 1] Since an exciton is a bound state of an electron and a hole, the overall charge for this quasiparticle is zero. Hence it carries no electric current . A vivid picture of exciton formation is as follows: a photon enters a semiconductor, exciting an electron from the valence band into the conduction band. The missing electron in the valence band leaves a hole (of opposite electric charge) behind, to which the electron is attracted by the Coulomb force. The exciton results from the binding of the electron with its hole."

By Bernie Hobbs Slideshow: Photo 1 of 5Bacteria are about one tenth the size of our cells, but ten times bigger than viruses. ( CDC/ Dr. Ray Butler)Related Stories Video: Fundamentals: Scaling down our Solar System (ABC Science)We are more microbe than man, Science Online, 10 Mar 2009High-res technique zooms in on superbugs, Science Online, 22 Jan 2010To get by as a human, all evolution required of our ancestors was the ability to outrun or outwit anything that could kill them before they made a baby. Being able to mentally picture all the mammoths on the planet wasn't high on the essential skills list. Thanks to money, or what we can buy with it, most of us can wrap our heads around the relative size of a thousand, a hundred thousand and a million. But once we get past a few million it all starts to get harder to picture. The same goes for the small stuff — we know viruses and bacteria are small, and atoms are even smaller, but just how small is as hard to grasp as Rupert Murdoch's bank balance. But it's easy to get a grip on just how huge or tiny something is: you just compare its size to the size of things we're familiar with, like us. On a scale of the smallest to the largest things we can see in the solar system, we sit pretty much dead middle. Or Danny De Vito does — at 1.50 metres he's 10 billion times bigger than an atom and one billion times smaller than the diameter of the sun."

"text": "\"Dehydration Synthesis in Lipidsby KIRSTIN HENDRICKSON Aug. 14, 2017Dehydration synthesis is the process of making a larger molecule from smaller building blocks by removing two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom -- the chemical components of water. Lipids are fats; in the body, common lipids include triglycerides -- dietary and storage fats -- and phospholipids, which form cell membranes. You produce your large biological lipids through dehydration synthesis. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Dehydration Synthesis As a class of chemical transformations, dehydration synthesis reactions are incredibly common, particularly in biochemistry. Your body has a wide variety of metabolic processes that involve building larger molecules out of smaller precursor molecules, many of which proceed through dehydration synthesis. During a dehydration synthesis, two smaller molecules collectively lose two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom. In the process, the smaller molecules form new bonds to one another, explain Drs. Reginald Garrett and Charles Grisham in their book \"\"Biochemistry. \"\" Triglycerides Triglycerides are an important class of lipids, or fats. These are the types of lipids that you take in when you consume fat in your food; they're also the lipids that you store in adipose, or fat, tissue."

Crystals have always attracted the curiosity of humans. Archaeologists have unearthed shells, claws, teeth, and other crystalline solids dating to 25, 000 BC that have holes, as though worn as necklaces, and engraved with symbols of magic. The treasures of the ancient Egyptian king, Tutankhamen, abound with crystals in the forms of gems and jewels. These were not only intended for personal adornment, but were designed in symbolic fashion and believed to possess mystical and religious powers. Healers used crystals in their magical rites and cures. In ancient Greece, Archimedes made a study of regular solids, and Plato and Aristotle speculated on the relationship between regular solids and the elements. In the sixteenth century, the German naturalist, Giorgius Agricola, classified solids by their external forms, and Johannes Kepler observed that snowflakes were always six-sided (circa 1611), commenting on geometrical shapes and arrangements that might produce this effect. In the seventeenth century, noted philosophers and mathematicians, including Rene ´ Descartes, Robert Hooke, and Christiaan Huygens followed and expanded Kepler ’ s postulates. In 1671, an English translation of a study by a Danish-born scientist, Nicolaus Steno, was published in London."

"text": "\"The greatest thing since sliced bread? A review of the benefits of processed foods01 June 20101. Introduction and definitions We all process foods everyday when preparing a meal for ourselves or our family and virtually all foods undergo some form of processing before they are ready to eat. Some foods are even dangerous if eaten without proper processing. The most basic definition of food processing is “a variety of operations by which raw foodstuffs are made suitable for consumption, cooking, or storage”. Food processing includes any action that changes or converts raw plant or animal materials into safe, edible and more enjoyable, palatable foodstuffs. In large-scale food manufacture, processing involves applying scientific and technological principles to preserve foods by slowing down or stopping the natural processes of decay. It also allows changes to the eating quality of foods to be made in a predictable and controlled way. Food processing also uses the creative potential of the processor to change basic raw materials into a range of tasty attractive foods that provide interesting variety in the diets of consumers. Without food processing it would not be possible to sustain the needs of modern urban populations, and the choice of foods would be limited by seasonality."

"text": "Michael Faraday, (born September 22, 1791, Newington, Surrey, England—died August 25, 1867, Hampton Court, Surrey), English physicist and chemist whose many experiments contributed greatly to the understanding of electromagnetism. Faraday, who became one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century, began his career as a chemist. He wrote a manual of practical chemistry that reveals his mastery of the technical aspects of his art, discovered a number of new organic compounds, among them benzene, and was the first to liquefy a “permanent” gas (i.e., one that was believed to be incapable of liquefaction). His major contribution, however, was in the field of electricity and magnetism. He was the first to produce an electric current from a magnetic field, invented the first electric motor and dynamo, demonstrated the relation between electricity and chemical bonding, discovered the effect of magnetism on light, and discovered and named diamagnetism, the peculiar behaviour of certain substances in strong magnetic fields. He provided the experimental, and a good deal of the theoretical, foundation upon which James Clerk Maxwell erected classical electromagnetic field theory. Early life Michael Faraday was born in the country village of Newington, Surrey, now a part of South London. His father was a blacksmith who had migrated from the north of England earlier in 1791 to look for work. His mother was a country woman of great calm and wisdom who supported her son emotionally through a difficult childhood. Faraday was one of four children, all of whom were hard put to get enough to eat, since their father was often ill and incapable of working steadily."

The fish is all black except for two white rings on its tail, and a white blaze on its nose, which can occasionally extend into a stripe down its back. It moves mainly by undulating a long fin on its underside. It will grow to a maximum length of 50 cm (20 in). [ 1] It does not have scales. Black ghost knife fish are nocturnal. They are a weakly electric fish which use an electric organ and receptors distributed over the length of their body in order to locate insect larvae.

"text": "Instinct, an inborn impulse or motivation to action typically performed in response to specific external stimuli. Today instinct is generally described as a stereotyped, apparently unlearned, genetically determined behaviour pattern. Foraging is an example of an instinct driven by impulses serving specific biological functions. Scott Bauer—ARS/USDADefining instinct In the past the term instinct has stood for a number of distinct conceptions about animal behaviour. For example, Alexander Jamieson, in the first volume of his A Dictionary of Mechanical Science, Arts, Manufactures, and Miscellaneous Knowledge (1829), defined the term instinct as “an appellation given to the sagacity and natural inclinations of brutes, which supplies the place of reason in mankind. ”As a rough rendering of what the term instinct means to most people, this definition still has merit. If it is taken to include the possibility that humans too can be governed by instinct, this definition is broad and vague, encompassing the variety of senses that the term has since been used to convey. However, this inclusiveness is unable to distinguish the subtle differences of meaning encompassed by the terms instinct and instinctive. The words instinct and instinctive have borne a variety of meanings in the many different contexts in which they have been used. Their varied meanings and connotations are encountered in everyday language."

Zupanc Prof. Günther K. H. Zupanc, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USANeuroethology refers to the study of the neural basis of natural behavior in animals. It attempts to understand how sensory organs and central structures process behaviorally relevant stimuli, and how this information is integrated by the central nervous system to produce the behavioral output observed under natural conditions. Many of the concepts and techniques of neuroethology are derived from other biological disciplines, including ethology, neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, neuroendocrinology, and biological cybernetics. A characteristic overall goal of neuroethology is to understand, from mechanistic and evolutionary points of view, both specialization and diversity of neural control among different species. Contents [ hide ]1 History and key principles2 Choice of suitable model systems3 Classical model systems in neuroethology4 Outlook5 Textbooks6 Journals7 Professional Society and International Meetings8 References9 Further reading10 External links History and key principles Neuroethology is a multidisciplinary area of study that emerged as an independent scientific discipline in the 1970s and 1980s. This rather late development contrasts with the history of its two foundation disciplines, neurobiology and ethology. The beginnings of modern neurobiology can be dated back to the end of the nineteenth century after the histological studies of Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) had provided experimental evidence in favor of the cell theory as an adequate description of the organization of the nervous system. Ethology was formally established between the 1930s and 1950s, particularly through the work of Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989) and Niko Tinbergen (1907-1988). One reason for the late development of neuroethology lies in the lack of proper methodology and suitable model systems."

These cells are very similar to muscle fiber cells in that they can produce electric signals. Unlike muscle fiber cells, they cannot contract. These cells contain a high concentration of Potassium ions, a low concentration of sodium ions, and a comparable amount of negatively charged ions. The cell membrane is permeable to potassium ions but not sodium ions. When in this inactive state, the cell membrane has a negative voltage, preventing the potassium ions from flowing out of the cell."

"text": "Flag How do electric eels produce electricity? Edit Answer by Pickpack47 Confidence votes 70Basically the electric organ of eels functions like a battery, but instead of using chemicals it uses nerve cells and the polarization/depolarization across their cell membranes. The organ consists of a stack of thousands of thin, disc-like cells. One side or face of each of these cells receives input from cholinergic neurons. When a different nerve connected to this organ is stimulated by touch, the innervated face of each of the stacked cells depolarizes. However, and this is the key to the whole process, the cell does not generate an action potential like a normal nerve would. Instead it builds up a large electric potential difference between the two sides of the cell (the the extracellular fuids on either side of the cell are isolated from each and so ions cannot flow from one side to the other to eliminate this charge difference). What that means is that the cells has pumped all of a certain kind of positive ions into itself, and then releases it only on one side of the cell, making that side positive and the other side negative. These potentials across each cell in the stack add up into one large electric potential, which is then discharged into the prey.they are shocking They have three pairs of organs (six total) that act like generators. The cells inside these organs act like tiny batteries and are connected in series."

"text": "Human sensory reception, means by which humans react to changes in external and internal environments. Ancient philosophers called the human senses “the windows of the soul,” and Aristotle described at least five senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Aristotle ’s influence has been so enduring that many people still speak of the five senses as if there were no others. Yet the modern sensory catalog now includes receptors in the muscles, tendons, and joints, which give rise to the kinesthetic sense (that is, the sense of motion ), and receptors in the vestibular organs in the inner ear, which give rise to the sense of balance. Within the circulatory system, sensory receptors are found that are sensitive to carbon dioxide in the blood or to changes in blood pressure or heart rate, and there are receptors in the digestive tract that appear to mediate such experiences as hunger and thirst. Some brain cells may also participate as hunger receptors. This is especially true of cells in the lower parts of the brain (such as the hypothalamus) where some cells have been found to be sensitive to changes in blood chemistry (water and other products of digestion) and even to changes in temperature within the brain itself.sensory reception Human sensory reception. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. A horizontal cross section of the human eye, showing the major parts of the eye, including the protective covering of the cornea over the front of the eye. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. General considerations of sensation Basic features of sensory structures One way to classify sensory structures is by the stimuli to which they normally respond; thus, there are photoreceptors (for light), mechanoreceptors (for distortion or bending), thermoreceptors (for heat), chemoreceptors (e.g., for chemical odours), and nociceptors (for painful stimuli). This classification is useful because it makes clear that various sense organs can share common features in the way they convert (transduce) stimulus energy into nerve impulses."

The following information will help you make a purchase suited to your needs. Tips on Which Cut to Select: Decide how much time and effort you want to use in preparing and cooking the cut you select. Chops and steaks will take less time to cook than a roast but require more attention during the cooking process. When feeding a large group, preparing and cooking a large roast may be less effort than trying to cook individual chops or steaks for each person. It also gives you time to attend to other dishes since the roast will need little attention while it is cooking. Cuts from the loin are very popular and easy to cook but are more expensive than the cuts from the shoulder, which contain more fat but are very flavorful and tender. Ribs are always a favorite, but will the mess created by ribs be suitable for the occasion? Select the right thickness of chop for the intended use."

If you're trying to cut calories or just plain eat healthier, navigating the meat section at your local grocery store can be just as confusing as decoding a nutrition label! For those who eat it, meat provides protein and other nutrients, too, including iron, thiamine, and zinc. But many sources of meat can also be high in fat, especially saturated fat, which has been linked to high cholesterol and heart disease. And any food that is high in fat is also higher in calories, which can make it tough to reach your weight management goals. To assist consumers in meat selection, the government developed the following definitions, based on a cooked, 3-ounce portion of meat. Extra lean meat contains less than 5 grams of total fat and less than 2 grams of saturated fat. Lean meat contains less than 10 grams of total fat and less than 4.5 grams of saturated fat.

"text": "Grilling Pork How To's Grilling ▼ Grilling+ Larger Image Rate & Review Provided By Recipe Tips Grilling is a cooking method that uses a dry heat that quickly cooks the surface and then slowly moves to the middle of the meat. When grilled properly, the meat will have a crisp flavorful outside coating with a moist center. Grilling infuses the pork with a smoky flavor from the meat juices that drip during the grilling process. Share this!Save Rate & Review Email Print Grilling is ideal for cooking smaller pork cuts, such as chops, steaks, ham slices, tenderloins, ribs, ground pork patties, sausages, and kabobs. Because grilling uses high heat and short cooking times, it tends to toughen the meat, so it is best to use the most tender cuts available. Lean pork cuts will benefit from marinating before they are grilled. Pork steaks and pork chops that are going to be grilled should be a minimum of ¾ to 1 inch thick because the high heat will cook the meat quickly. If the cuts are thinner than this, it is easy to overcook the meat, causing it to dry out. The meat must be watched carefully while grilling. Coating the pork with a little oil or marinating it before cooking will help keep it moist."

Today's pork is relatively lean, and baking requires no extra calories from cooking fat. Just pay attention to your additions to keep things healthy. Boneless cuts take slightly longer than bone-in cuts to cook, but the difference is negligible; there's really no significant difference in preparation when you're baking them. It's even easier to read the internal temperature to check for doneness, since you don't have to worry about the thermometer coming into contact with bone and misreading. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Step 1Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow at least 15 to 20 minutes for the temperature to rise this high. Prep a baking tray by covering it with foil and lightly greasing it with cooking oil or nonstick spray. Step 2Trim most or all of the fat off the edges of the pork chops with a sharp nonserrated kitchen knife. Step 3Season the pork chops to taste."

"text": "How to Pan Fry Thick Cut Pork Chopsby ERIC MOHRMAN Oct. 03, 2017Pan-fried pork chops make for a juicy, filling meal you can cook up in minutes. Thick cuts require a bit more care and attention so you don't scorch the outside and dry out the meat near the surface before the pork safely cooks through all the way. Although you need to be continuously involved, it's not a difficult process, and certainly one even novice home cooks can get the hang of after a few times. Because pork is classified as a red meat and can run high in saturated fat and cholesterol, choose lean cuts and use heart-healthy unsaturated cooking fats. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Step 1Remove the pork chops from the refrigerator 1 to 2 hours ahead of time -- just don't keep meat out at room temperature for longer than 2 hours. Chops cook faster and more evenly if they're not cold when they go into the pan. This is particularly important for thick-cut meat. Step 2Season the pork with salt, pepper and any additional herbs or spices you want to use. Thyme, rosemary, tarragon, sage and basil are all good picks. Step 3Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat."

Despite their name, and the common conception that a centipede has 100 legs, this is in fact not true. The centipede has pairs of legs that run the length of the body of the centipede, which are normally between 15 and 30 pairs of legs in total and not 50. There are thought to be around 8,000 species of centipede worldwide, although only about 3,000 have actually been properly documented and undergone intense studying in the scientific world. The centipede can be found worldwide and has even been spotted inside the Arctic Circle. The centipede can range in size from a few millimetres to 30 cm long. The centipede has a bite that will be painful to humans but not fatal unless the human is allergic (like with wasp/bee stings). The centipede is usually found on land in moist habitats usually under rocks, leaf litter, logs and occasionally in burrows in the ground or rotting wood."

"text": "House Centipedes March 28th, 2010 admin No comments The term “ House Centipede ” is used to describe two separate species of centipedes. The first, Scutigera coleoptrata, can be found in North America, Europe and Asia. The second, Allothereua maculata, is found in Australia. House centipedes are sometimes mistakenly referred to as silverfish which are another household pest altogether. First and foremost, if you are looking for information about how to get rid of house centipedes, we recommend the ebook called “House Centipede Control” by Jill Haskins. It covers everything you need to know about house centipedes and how to get rid of them without calling an expensive exterminator. >> Click here for the Official Site of Jill Haskins’ House Centipede Control Scutigera coleoptrata Scutigera coleoptrata is the most common species of house centipede. It originated from the Mediterranean and spread to other parts of the world where it made its home in the homes on humans. This house centipede is typically yellow or gray with brown stripes on its back. It has 15 pairs of legs when it reaches adulthood and can live for up to 7 years."

"text": "\"CENTIPEDESCentipedes are flattened , elongated animals with one pair of legs on most of their body sections. This easily distinguishes them from millipedes which have two pair of legs per body section. The total number of legs varies from 10 to more than 100, depending on the species. Centipedes have many-jointed antennae and jaws connected to poison glands which are used to kill insects and other small creatures for food. With powerful jaws, which are located immediately behind their head, they grasp their prey and kill it by injecting venom. Some species of centipedes have a posterior \"\"pseudohead\"\" to confuse predators. The real head is free to bite if an enemy attempts to grab or attack this pseudohead. Because of their poison glands and ability to bite, centipedes do pose an occasional threat to man. The bite of a centipede, even the largest species found in the United States, is not sufficiently toxic to be lethal man, or even small children. The poison in a centipede’s bite usually produces only a moderate reaction similar to that of a bee sting, but if you are bitten and have a significant reaction, do not hesitate to call your physician."

The problem with insects and bugs is that they generally are nocturnal. They become active at night when humans are most susceptible to them. But before we talk about which kinds of bug bites that cause swelling, we should discuss a little bit about why bug bites cause swelling. Depending on the level of sensitivity of the skin, it should generally only swell because a foreign chemical is introduced. This is not necessarily a poison. Some bug bites, such as mosquito bites, inject a chemical solution into the area which keeps the blood they're drawing out from coagulating and clotting so that they can process it. This chemical isn't considered a poison, but it causes swelling nonetheless. Many other kinds of bugs bite even though they aren't poisonous, and these bites shouldn't cause swelling, unless the skin is overly sensitive. Bug bites that cause swelling are many and varied."

On land, in the sea, even in the air itself, they are the true masters of the Earth. They are the arthropods. Arthropods are eucoelomate protostomes, dominating the protostome branch of the animal tree, just as vertebrates dominate the deuterostome branch. Arthropods share a common ancestor with polychaete worms, and may even be a direct descendant of polychaetes. But unlike other eucoelomate invertebrates, the arthropod coelom is greatly reduced in the adult animal. There are over 800,000 named species in the Phylum Arthropoda , named from the Greek arthros (= jointed) and poda (= foot), including the familiar arachnids, crustaceans, and insects, together with a host of less familiar critters, like centipedes, millipedes and sea spiders. All arthropods have jointed appendages. This evolutionary innovation is probably the key to the stunning success of this diverse group."

"text": "When and How to Fertilize Centipede Grass By: Julie Day“ When is the proper time to apply fertilizer to centipede grass? Should I use a weed and feed product? ” – Bill Centipede grass is a warm-season turf grass, which means its growing season begins in late spring and lasts through the summer, then it goes mostly dormant or brown for the winter. The beginning of the growing season is called “green up,” as the grasses once again send up bright green blades and the lawn starts actively growing. Although usually occurring in April, the exact timing of the spring green up depends on the temperatures in your particular microclimate. During the green up period, the new growth in your lawn is very tender and can be harmed by the broadleaf herbicides in weed and feed products. In addition, feeding too early can cause growth that may be damaged by late cold snaps. The ideal time to apply fertilizer, or weed and feed products, to centipede grass is a few weeks after green up, but before temperatures start topping 85° F. That’s usually around mid-May, but let your lawn be your guide. Here are a few tips to keep in mind: Centipede grass doesn’t respond well to high doses of fertilizer. Too much nitrogen will cause a flush of growth susceptible to disease, and phosphorus will deplete iron levels."

The jaws of most house centipedes are too weak to bite through human skin. House centipedes do, however, have back ends with a stinger. The stinger will release venom into whatever it stings. While symptoms are usually insignificant, some cases have shown that the stings can be dangerous. This is rare, however, and most house centipede stings pose little health risk. The house centipede “bite” (sting) is typically less painful than a bee sting. If there is a lot of pain, taking a couple of Aspirin can help. If the affected area swells, a cold pack can help the swelling go down. A heat pack is advisable if there is pain but no swelling."

It may seem that a centipede has a million legs, but in reality, the long bugs typically possess between 30 to 70 legs. The pest (which is classified as an arthropod) has received its nickname as the “thousand-legger” because they appear to have lots of legs as they quickly move across a floor or wall. Ranging in shades of tan, brown, and red, there are an estimated 8,000 species of centipedes around the world [1]. Centipedes usually seek shelter in the outdoors under rocks, tree bark, and leaves, as well as indoors in basements and bathrooms. Because a centipede is an arthropod, they have skeletons on the outside of their bodies and possess segmented, jointed legs. Interestingly, centipedes are carnivores – eating other insects considered pests in households, such as spiders, moths, common houseflies, and cockroaches."

Myriapods share many things in common: all have a single pair of antennae, simple eyes and a mouth on the underside of the head. All prefer to live in moist areas and feed on decomposing organic material (though centipedes are also predatory), and, as their name suggests, all Myriapods have multiple pairs of legs, ranging from as few as 5 up to 350 pairs.

They are thought to have existed in some form since about 425-450 million years ago. They are believed to have an oceanic origin, with gills and a claw like appendage that enabled them to hold onto rocky shores or seaweed. Scorpion Venom Scorpion venom is used to subdue prey and to defend against threats, as well as in the mating process. The composition and action of the venom varies from species to species. The venoms are mixtures of salts, small molecules, peptides, and proteins. The peptides are specialized; some act against invertebrates and some against vertebrates, and some target both. This complex formula results in a neurotoxin which depolarizes the nervous system of the victim. Scorpions are apparently able to regulate the delivery of the venom in scale to the size of their target."

Millipedes have two sets of legs for every segment, and when they move, their legs appear to be moving in a wave-like motion. A millipede's legs are also shorter and, in general, a millipede cannot move very fast. A centipede, with its fewer legs, can travel considerably faster.

"text": "Science & Mathematics Botany Whats the difference between central vacuole and a vacuole? If you know the difference, can you please also tell me the definition for both? If so, thanks!Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Most mature plant cells have one large central vacuole that typically occupies more than 30% of the cell's volume, and that can occupy as much as 80% of the volume for certain cell types and conditions. Strands of cytoplasm often run through the vacuole. A vacuole is surrounded by a membrane called the tonoplast (word origin: Gk tón (os) + -o-, meaning “stretching,” “tension,” “tone” + comb. form repr. Gk plastós formed, molded). Also called the vacuolar membrane, the tonoplast is the cytoplasmic membrane surrounding a vacuole, separating the vacuolar contents from the cell's cytoplasm. As a membrane, it is mainly involved in regulating the movements of ions around the cell, and isolating materials that might be harmful or a threat to the cell. Transport of protons from the cytosol to the vacuole stabilises cytoplasmic p H, while making the vacuolar interior more acidic creating a proton motive force which the cell can use to transport nutrients into or out of the vacuole."

The central vacuole of a plant cell makes up most of the cell's volume, and the solutes within ensure that osmosis favors the flow of water into the cell which maintains turgor pressure and keeps the plant upright (the plant would wilt otherwise).

Vacuoles are large membrane-bound compartments within some eukaryotic cells where they serve a variety of different functions: capturing food materials or unwanted structural debris surrounding the cell, sequestering materials that might be toxic to the cell, maintaining fluid balance (called turgor) within the cell, exporting unwanted substances from the cell, or even determining relative cell size. The cavity that is the vacuole is considered nonprotoplasmic and the contents classified as ergastic according to some authors (Esau, 1965). Vacuoles are especially conspicuous in most plant cells. Vacuoles are typically filled with a liquid called cell sap, the composition of which can vary (even between vacuoles in the same cell), but is principally water. Water tends to move along concentration gradients into vacuoles. Vacuoles perform different roles in different organisms and these functions include the capture of food, the maintenance of internal hydrostatic pressure (store water), the containment of waste products, the maintenance of an acidic internal p H, the storage of small molecules and finally can enable a cell to elongate rapidly.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Cheek Cells, 500x, image by Mulletsrokk, Wikipedia, Creative Commons GRADE LEVELS6-12TEACHER BACKGROUNDAll cells have a plasma membrane, cytoplasm and ribosomes. Eukaryotic cells, like plants and animals, also have membrane-bound nuclei and organelles (e.g., mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes). At the magnifications that are generally attainable in the K-12 classroom, many organelles are not visible. However, nuclei can be seen at 200-400x if a biological stain is used such as methylene blue. Chloroplasts are also visible and will appear as green ovals, even without stain, due to the presence of the green pigment chlorophyll used in photosynthesis. The lining of the cheek is composed of squamous epithelial cells. “ Squamous” comes from the Latin word for scales."

"text": "\"What Good is a Vacuole?written by: Paul Arnold •edited by: Paul Arnold •updated: 11/27/2009Tucked away inside the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells are little pockets called vacuoles. More than just empty spaces, these tiny membrane-bound organelles carry out a number of important functions that help to keep the cells that surround them alive. What Does a Vacuole Do? Vacuoles are shape shifters - they don't have a pre-determined shape, size or structure. Instead, the form they take depends on the contents they house. Their structure is simple - essentially a membrane surrounds a fluid-filled mass, and that fluid depends on what's going in and out of the cell. What good is a vacuole? A vacuole acts like a rubbish bin, it contains waste products that might damage the cell. It's a proactive little garbage collector in that it isolates and absorbs potentially harmful material, and it also helps to eject unwanted substances from the cell. It also helps to maintain acidic p H levels as well as the cell's hydrostatic pressure."

Answer by Alexia64132 Confidence votes 29Vacuoles are the \"\"storage system\"\" of the cell. They store nutrients, waste, enzymes, and water. They appear as a large, empty, colorless gap. Think of vacuoles as large warehouses that store toxic wastes, or other useful, excessive products. Vacuoles are significantly larger in plant cells than animal cells. The vacuole fills with water and other nutrients and pushes up against the cell wall making the wall stronger and stiffer. This is one reason why if you forget to water your plant the vacuole is not as big and the plant wilts. A vacuole maintains the acidic internal p H of the cell."

In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth. Many plant cells have a large, single central vacuole that typically takes up most of the room in the cell (80 percent or more). Vacuoles in animal cells, however, tend to be much smaller, and are more commonly used to temporarily store materials or to transport substances Vacuole A vacuole is a membrane-bound sac that plays roles in intracellular digestion and the release of cellular waste products. Vacuoles tend to be large in plant cells and play a role in turgor pressure. When a plant is well-watered, water collects in cell vacuoles producing rigidity in the plant. Without sufficient water, pressure in the vacuole is reduced and the plant wilts. http://www.cellsalive.com/cells/vacuole.htm The cell sap vacuole in plants is much larger than animals. In addition to storing important substances, it also helps support the plant."

Learning Objectives Summarize the functions of vesicles and vacuoles in cells Key Takeaways Key Points Vesicles are small structures within a cell, consisting of fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer involved in transport, buoyancy control, and enzyme storage. Lysosomes, which are found in animal cells, are the cell’s “garbage disposal.” The digestive processes take place in these, and enzymes within them aid in the breakdown of proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, nucleic acids, and worn-out organelles. Central vacuoles, which are found in plants, play a key role in regulating the cell’s concentration of water in changing environmental conditions. Vesicles and vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs that function in storage and transport. Other than the fact that vacuoles are somewhat larger than vesicles, there is a very subtle distinction between them: the membranes of vesicles can fuse with either the plasma membrane or other membrane systems within the cell. The membrane of a vacuole does not fuse with the membranes of other cellular components. Additionally, some agents within plant vacuoles, such as enzymes, break down macromolecules.

It is estimated that up to 7 percent of people in hospitals and up to 2 percent of people in the community are carriers of the MRSA infection. Although someone may be infected with MRSA, they may not develop any signs or symptoms of the infection for up to 10 days. How Is MRSA Spread? Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (or MRSA for short) is a strain of bacteria resistant to certain types of antibiotics. It is a less common, but potentially more serious, form of the common \"\"staph\"\" infection. MRSA is categorized based on where the infection was first acquired -- either healthcare-associated MRSA (for those infections that were acquired in a hospital or healthcare facility) or community-associated MRSA. Regardless of the type, transmission of MRSA occurs through direct contact with: Someone who has an active infection Someone who is a carrier of the infection (colonized)A contaminated object. After a person comes into contact with a contaminated surface or object, he or she may become a carrier of the bacteria (colonized). An active infection with MRSA can develop when a person is colonized and the bacteria enter an opening, such as a cut or scrape in the skin."

MRSA is a contagious bacterial infection that spreads through direct skin to skin contact with people, or by touching contaminated surfaces, however MRSA can also move through air. People with active MRSA or Staph infections are more contagious, but even MRSA carriers who are not infected can spread it to others causing infections. While most MRSA infections used to come from hospitals, community MRSA infections are spreading rapidly in places where children, teens and adults spend their time. Even pets are getting these difficult infections. As MRSA continues to spread in the U. S. and abroad, you are likely exposed more often than you realize. Because MRSA is resistant to many antibiotics, it can be a very dangerous infection.

When common antibiotics don’t kill the staph bacteria, it means the bacteria have become resistant to those antibiotics. This type of staph is called MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus). MRSA was first identified in the 1960’s and was mainly found in hospitals and nursing homes. In the late 1990’s, a new type of MRSA was identified. This type of MRSA is becoming more common among children and adults who do not have medical conditions. What does MRSA look like?"

Boils symptoms and signs include:a firm reddened bump,tender, swollen skin surrounding the bump,the bump may increase in size,pus-filled head on the bump, which may spontaneously drain, weep, or ooze. Antibiotics alone can be inadequate in treating abscesses. The primary treatments for boils include hot packs and draining (\"\"lancing\"\") the abscess but only when it is soft and ready to drain. Most of these skin conditions resolve on their own or with home remedies. If the individual has a fever or chronic disease, such as cancer or diabetes, or is taking medications that suppress the immune system, he or she should contact a health care professional if a boil (abscess) or other skin infection develops. There are a number of ways to reduce the likelihood of developing some forms of boils, but boils are not completely preventable even with proper hygiene and skin care regimens. The bacteria that cause boils are contagious, and skin infections can be spread from contact with the fluid from a boil. Picture: What does a boil look like?

Staph infections may cause disease due to direct infection or due to the production of toxins by the bacteria. Boils, impetigo, food poisoning, cellulitis, and toxic shock syndrome are all examples of diseases that can be caused by Staphylococcus. Symptoms and signs of a localized staph infection include a collection of pus, such as a boil, furuncle, or abscess. The area is typically tender or painful and may be reddened and swollen. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, known as MRSA, is a type of Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to the antibiotic methicillin and other drugs in this class. Staph infections are treated with topical, oral, or intravenous antibiotics, depending upon the type of infection. Quick Guide What Is a Staph Infection?

The most prevailing form of Staphylococcus is Staphylococcus aureus, which is usually found in the nose and on the skin of most warm-blooded species like humans. A common “Staph” infection on the skin may appear pus-like and red. The infection is likely to seen near wounds, or individuals with weakened immune systems. Through the use of antibiotics (both in humans and in livestock), Staphylococcus aureus has developed resistances to certain drug therapies. For example, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is resistant to the Penicillin Class of antibiotics. Today, many precautious measures are taking place to prevent the spread of the bacteria, especially resistive ones like MRSA. In addition, there are many effective methods (and also developing ways) to treat the current condition of Staphylococcus."

There are thousands of species of bacteria, but all are single-celled and fall into three basic shapes: spherical, straight rods, and spiral rods. To see them, you need a microscope that magnifies about 1000-fold. All bacteria reproduce by dividing into two cells. The two cells then divide to become 4, 4 become 8, and so forth. Under ideal conditions, this doubling may occur as frequently as every 15 minutes, so that within 5 hours there will be more than a million cells from the original single cell. If there are 1000 original cells instead of a single one, there will be over 1 billion cells in 5 hours. Some rod-shaped bacteria are capable of existing in two forms, dormant spores and active vegetative cells."

People have definitely been using them well before we had capsules, tablets, and large pharma to deal with our medical woes. Even though there’s a spot for pharmaceuticals in today’s world (a rather large one), there is always the chance that none will be available or that they might cause long-term harm to our bodies when there are other options available. Make no mistake, there are plenty of other options available, and the plethora of tea tree oil benefits should serve as a great indicator of this. While there are many great herbs and essential oils out there to help you in your time of need, today we’ll be discussing tea tree oil and the many uses it has.1) Helps With Smaller Cuts After cleaning the cut well, apply several drops of the oil straight into the wound. If a bandage is desired, let several drops of the oil soak into a cotton ball, then lay it face-down in the wound using a bandage on top of the ball.2) Acne Add a drop to your regular cleaning routine or dab a really small bit of the oil on acne breakouts. You can include anywhere from twenty to forty drops of the oil with your normal face wash.3) Air Freshener Have a couple cotton balls soaked with tea tree oil placed throughout the house/room to freshen the atmosphere when faced with foul odors from cooking, musty orders from dampness, or the odor in a sick room. They’ll help to eliminate such awful smells.4) Good for Allergies Rub the oil topically into the chest, stomach, or feet to see it help with certain allergies.5) Arthritis To decrease the pain related to the swelling of arthritis, add 20 drops of tea-tree oil to 2 oz of grapeseed oil. Massage this into the affected area 2-3 times per day.6) Asthma Add a couple of drops of oil into a pan of water and heat on the stove. Drape a towel over one’s face and the steam and breath in for a couple minutes.7) Athletes Foot Clean the feet completely, particularly between the toes."

Superbugs, also called Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) bacteria are resistant to several antibiotics. Not all superbugs necessary cause a severe infection, though. A common superbug is MRSA. What is MRSA? Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a strain (a genetic variant within the same species) of a Staphylococcus aureus bacterium, resistant to antibiotic methicillin and other antibiotics from the same class as penicillin, amoxacillin and oxacillin. The main problem with MRSA is that it is often not recognized as such, and is therefore treated with inappropriate antibiotics ( 1, page 25 ). MRSA and “Usual” Staph Aureus Pictures It is impossible to say from staph skin infection pictures, if the cause of infection is MRSA (Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) or an “usual” staph – MSSA (Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus).

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": "Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is a government institution that provides deposit insurance against bank failure. The body was created during the Great Depression when the public had lost trust in the banking system. Prior to its formation, a third of the US banks had collapsed leading to the loss of depositors funds. There was no guarantee on bank deposits other than the bank’s stability, and only depositors who were quick enough to withdraw their money were lucky enough to retain it. The FDIC was established with the aim of maintaining public confidence in the financial system and promoting sound banking practices. Source: FDICHow much deposit insurance does FDIC provide? The FDIC coverage provides deposit insurance of up to $250,000 per ownership category, as long as the institution is a member. Initially, the agency provided insurance limit up to $2,500 until the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform recommended raising the insurance limit. The FDIC only insures banks, while credit unions fall under the National Credit Union Administration. The agency gets funding from the premiums paid by banks for insurance coverage and earnings from its investments in the US Treasury bonds."

The purpose of CDARS is to help people who invest in certificate of deposits or CDs to stay below FDIC insurance limits at any given bank. Usually, to avoid exceeding FDIC limits at a bank, consumers deposit their money in different banks. CDARS is a program that eliminates the need to go from bank to bank in order to deposit money, and is comprised of a network of banks. Using CDARS is as simple as finding a participating bank close to you (local bank) and depositing your money with the bank. The local bank then spreads your money across several banks, ensuring that the amount of money in each bank is never above the FDIC limit. As part of the CDARS program, the consumer conducts business with only the local bank and receives one single statement that contains information for each account.

What is a certificate of deposit? Certificates of deposit (CDs) are low-risk investment vehicles where financial institutions pledge to pay a certain interest rate in exchange for depositing money into an account for a given time period. Compared to savings and money market accounts, CDs usually require that your money is deposited for a longer period of time in order to receive a favorable interest rate. CD accounts are typically insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC,) depending on whether or not the institution is an FDIC member, making them low-risk investments for savers.

"text": "\"WHAT ARE CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSITS and the DIFFERENT TYPES? A CD is a bank savings instrument with a specified maturity. Maturities can be for any term length, but most range from three months to five years. Interest may be credited daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly, and compounds and accrues until the CD is cashed in or matures. Over the last twenty years the average interest paid on certificates of deposit has ranged from around 1% to almost 18%, and these yields may swing violently between one period and the next. As an example, CD rates dropped 69% from the fall of 2000 to the fall of 2001. CD rate increases tend to be slower - a typical 1-year CD yielded 1% at the end of 2003 and didn't reach 4% until the end of 2006. Certificate of deposit yields are usually higher than money market accounts and, based on our research, yields earned on 5-year CDs might well exceed average rates earned on Series EE Savings Bonds. Interest is fully taxable, even when money is compounding inside the CD. Over the past thirty years, taking into account the rate of inflation and assuming the effects of a top marginal income tax rate, real CD returns after taxes and inflation have been negative half of the time."

Generally, a problem bank is defined as one considered to be in financial difficulty based on an analysis of various factors, including liquidity, capital levels, and asset quality. As a result, the extent to which the FDIC insures various types of accounts continues to be a critical financial planning piece for retirees or those contemplating retirement, particularly if one’s life savings are deposited in one institution. This section updates the basic deposit insurance rules, as well as providing readers with resources necessary to determine how those rules apply to them FDIC Menu Deposit Insurance Rules IRAs, Retirement Accounts and Revocable Trusts Treatment of CDs FDIC Check List: Deposit Insurance Rules The FDIC insures the following types of deposit accounts at banks and savings associations: Checking,Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (NOW),Savings,Money market, and Certificates of deposit (CDs) up to the insurance limit. It is just as important to know that the FDIC does not insure the contents of safe deposit boxes or the money you invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities, or municipal securities, even if you purchased these products from an insured bank or savings association. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) applies analogous rules and insurance limits to funds deposited in their insured institutions. When President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on July 21, 2010, the standard maximum deposit insurance amount permanently became $250,000. Previously, there had been a temporary increase from $100,000 to $250,000 starting on October 3, 2008. In terms of basic bank accounts, this means that both a single account (one owner) and joint account (two or more owners) are insured up to $250,000 per owner. As a result, a married couple can keep a million dollars liquid and insured in a single bank by dividing up the money as follows: husband's single account with $250,000, wife's single account with $250,000, joint account with $500,000 ($250,000 each)."

Posted: January 25, 2009 Basicguides Over the last few decades, bank depositors have been relatively complacent regarding the safety of their money, and justifiably so. Since its inception in 1934, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has never failed to cover an insured deposit. But in 15 bank failures prior to 1999, more than $114 million dollars in deposits were uninsured. To avoid that predicament in today's climate of bank failure, consumers need to learn FDIC insurance limits and how to protect their money. Which accounts are covered by FDIC insurance? Protected deposits products The FDIC insures the following deposits products: Checking accounts Savings accounts Money market accounts (MMAs)Certificates of deposit (CDs)Other bank items In addition to the above, the FDIC covers other bank-related items, including: Cashier's checks Money orders Traveler's checks Accrued interest and other liabilities As long as the institution holding these deposits is FDIC-insured, so are the deposits. In addition, many brokerages offer FDIC-insured CDs to their customers. What does not have FDIC insurance coverage? Although deposits products are protected, other investments found at FDIC-insured banks do not have coverage, including: Annuities Stocks Bonds Life insurance policies Mutual funds How much is covered under FDIC insurance limits?"

"text": "\"FDIC insures bank deposits to $250,000Marcie Geffner, Bankrate.com • September 23, 2010Bank depositors should sleep better at night -- without sleeping on their money in a mattress -- now that the federal government has permanently boosted bank deposit insurance to $250,000. The limit was raised from $100,000 to the current level in October 2008, but the rise was set to revert back Dec. 31, 2013, until the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act made the higher amount permanent, according to David Barr, a spokesman for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. The higher FDIC limit is good news for people who keep large sums in bank deposit accounts or need to park a large sum in an account for a short time -- for instance, after they have sold a home, received an inheritance or cashed out a company 401 (k) retirement account. The fact that the limit is now permanent means those who've properly set up their accounts won't have to regroup to cope with a lower limit in the future, according to Todd Sandler, head of product strategy at ING Direct, an online banking institution in Wilmington, Del. FDIC insurance misconceptions Not all financial products are FDIC-insured. Generally, checking, savings, trust and money market deposit accounts, individual retirement accounts, or IRAs, and certificates of deposit, or CDs, are insured up to $250,000 per depositor if they're held in accounts that meet the FDIC-insurance rules at an FDIC-insured bank. Investment products such as mutual funds, annuities, life insurance policies, stocks, bonds and money market mutual funds aren't FDIC-insured. Nor are deposits of any kind at non-FDIC-insured institutions. The biggest misconception about FDIC insurance is that it applies at the account level -- when in fact it applies at the depositor level, Sandler says. Here are two examples: A depositor who had 10 individual bank accounts of $25,000 each for a total of $250,000 at one bank would be fully insured up to $250,000. However, a depositor who had three individual accounts of $250,000 each for a total of $750,000 at one bank would be insured only to $250,000 and not to $750,000. A husband and wife who have one individual bank account of $250,000 each for a total of $500,000 and one joint account of another $500,000 at one bank would be fully insured to the total of $1 million."

"text": "A: Bank deposits owned by corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs) and unincorporated associations, including for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, are FDIC insured accounts. Eligible business accounts for coverage from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are checking accounts, savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), cashier's checks, money orders and other official items issued by banks covered by the FDIC. Requirements for FDIC Coverage of Business Accounts There are two requirements for a business account to qualify for FDIC coverage. The corporation, partnership, LLC or unincorporated organization making the deposit has to be organized under applicable state law. Deposits made by sole proprietorships, revocable trusts or government entities are not considered to be business accounts. The main purpose of operation of the corporation, partnership, LLC or unincorporated organization making the deposit has to be other than to increase deposit insurance coverage by the FDIC. Details of FDIC Coverage of Business Accounts Total deposits in eligible business accounts from a corporation, partnership, LLC or unincorporated organization at a bank are covered up to $250,000. For example, if a corporation owns a checking account with $150,000 and a CD for another $150,000 at the same bank, the FDIC only insures $250,000, not the remaining $50,000. The corporation would need to transfer the remaining $50,000 to another bank for those funds to be eligible for FDIC coverage. Deposits in personal accounts from owners or members of the corporation, partnership, LLC or unincorporated organization at the same bank are not used to calculate the total deposits of a business account."

Initiated in 1933 after the stock market crash of 1929, the FDIC continues to evolve as it finds alternative ways to insure deposit holders against potential bank insolvency. The FDIC has a very notable history that demonstrates the U. S. commitment to ensuring that past bank troubles do not affect citizens as they have done in the past. Read on to learn more. First 50 Years By the early 1930s, America's financial markets lay in ruin. Due to the financial chaos characterized by the stock market crash of October 1929, more than 9,000 banks had failed by March of 1933, signaling the worst economic depression in modern history. ( For more information, read What Caused the Great Depression? ) In March of 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke these words to Congress:\"\"On March 3, banking operations in the United States ceased. To review at this time the causes of this failure of our banking system is unnecessary. Suffice it to say that the government has been compelled to step in for the protection of depositors and the business of the nation. \"\""

"text": "\"Requirements & Specifications Carnegie Mellon University 18-849b Dependable Embedded Systems Spring 1999 Author: Eushiuan Tran Abstract: Defining requirements to establish specifications is the first step in the development of an embedded system. However, in many situations, not enough care is taken in establishing correct requirements up front. This causes problems when ambiguities in requirements surface later in the life cycle, and more time and money is spent in fixing these ambiguities. Therefore, it is necessary that requirements are established in a systematic way to ensure their accuracy and completeness, but this is not always an easy task. This difficulty in establishing good requirements often makes it more of an art than a science. The difficulty arises from the fact that establishing requirements is a tough abstraction problem and often the implementation gets mixed with the requirements. In addition, it requires people with both communication and technical skills. As requirements are often weak about what a system should not do, this poses potential problems in the development of dependable systems, where these requirements are necessary to ensure that the system does not enter an undefined state. The development of dependable embedded systems requires even more complicated requirements as the embedded system not only interacts with the software but also with the outside world. Therefore, the importance of establishing good requirements is even greater in embedded systems design."

"text": "Requirements Engineering in an Agile Software Development Environment Leave a reply To print a PDF version of this article, click here. Author: W. Allen Huckabee The Business Capability Lifecycle (BCL) methodology, which was implemented to develop defense business systems, requires a change in requirements engineering processes. Previous software development work by Systems, Applications, and Products on the Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army) followed the waterfall Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which is not acceptable in the BCL methodology. The typical functional requirement statement is not easily changed and introduces problems into an Agile SDLC. In this article, the author posits that Agile-based requirements (user story and acceptance criteria) best fit the BCL approach. By implementing best business practices and lessons learned from the GCSS-Army project, a typical BCL-led program can achieve significant benefits, such as (a) increased effectiveness in requirements meeting the users’ needs; (b) increased performance of customers and software developers; and (c) reduced requirements volatility. The Business Capability Lifecycle (BCL) is an “overarching framework” implemented by the Department of Defense (Do D) to “rapidly deliver” (Defense Acquisition University [DAU], 2013, p. 3) useful information technology (IT) capabilities to Do D users. The framework mandates the use of iterative development processes to deliver IT capabilities in “18 months from its Milestone B to Full Deployment Decision (FDD)” (p. 4). As the Do D moves toward becoming more integrated using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, this article makes the case that the standard requirement statement and Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)-driven waterfall Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) are not advantageous to the compressed cycle time required by the BCL methodology. In fact, lessons learned from the Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-Army), which replaced the existing suite of legacy Standard Army Management Information Systems, suggest that the standard Statement of Requirements-driven development is not as efficient as other methodologies."

Audience: IT Professionals This article outlines the system requirements for all versions of Office 2013, whether on-premises, Microsoft cloud hosted, or a hybrid of the two. If you are upgrading from earlier versions of Microsoft Office to Microsoft 2010, refer to the article System Requirements for Office 2010.

This article will help you determine whether you do have to do that before purchasing Office for your organization. Office 2013 is built for the desktop, but your business can extend the Office experience to employees who are using i Pads or mobile devices. Note: Office 2013 is supported for both 32-bit (recommended) and 64-bit client applications. For more information, see 64-bit editions of Office 2013.

"text": "\"Related Articles Chai Tea Latte Health Benefits Tazo Tea Benefits How to Test Caffeine in Coffee Benefits of Chai Tea Health Benefits of Cardamom Tea Caffeine in Chocolate Versus Coffee Chai can be caffeinated or decaffeinated, although the more-common caffeinated version of the drink is traditional. This sweet tea-based beverage is an Indian tradition that has gained popularity in the West in recent years. Caffeine in chai can have both benefits and dangers to your health -- check with your doctor if you are concerned about your caffeine consumption through chai. History Chai is simply the word for \"\"tea\"\" in Sanskrit and Hindi. The chai tradition developed in India some 2,500 years ago as a result of trade with China. Chai now refers specifically to a spiced tea that is sweetened and mixed with milk in the Indian tradition. In Western countries, chai is available as a spiced black tea that is then prepared with milk. Major cafe chains now offer \"\"chai lattes,\"\" so-called because of its high milk content. Caffeine Content of Chai The caffeine content of chai depends on the type of tea used in preparation. Green or black tea varieties can be used in the preparation of chai, and using a decaffeinated tea as the basis of the chai will result in a beverage with minimal caffeine content."

"text": "\"Working With What You Have: Iced Chai Tea Latte Posted by Cara - June 27th 2011Here are some more ideas for delicious summer drinks!I can remember my first-ever chai tea latte. It was a Saturday in the early spring of 1998, and I had a terrible cold. Feeling sick, I had played hooky from a friend’s bat mitzvah (this was seventh grade, when every weekend’s activity revolved around bar and bat mitzvahs), yet I was somehow up to joining my family on a shopping trip to the Upper West Side. Not only was my nose running but it was also raining out, and at last my family and my whiny thirteen year-old self took refuge in the local Starbucks. I think I ordered a chamomile tea, adding honey to it to soothe my poor throat. I took a sip, and my sense of smell and taste clogged by my sickness, I couldn’t taste a thing. I might as well have been drinking hot water, and I set my tea angrily down. Someone else–maybe my older sister, Jill–ordered a chai tea latte, which can’t have been on Starbucks’ menu for very long at that point. I for one had never seen it, heard of it, or tried it. But unlike every other scent in the world that day, I could smell it."

"text": "How Many Calories Does a Chai Tea Latte Have?by NADIA HARIS Aug. 14, 2017A chai tea latte is made with a black tea blended with spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and cloves. A chai latte is similar to regular chai tea except that is topped with extra steamed milk. Iced varieties are cooled and blended with crushed ice. How many calories you get in each drink depends on the type and amount of milk, flavoring, topping and sweetener added. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Chai Tea Latte Calories A 16-ounce iced chai tea latte from Starbucks has 240 calories, according to their website. This iced drink also has 4 grams of total fat, 15 milligrams of cholesterol and 44 grams of total carbohydrates including sugar. If you add extra sugar or toppings such as whipped cream or chocolate syrup, you will increase the calories in your drink. Calories in Milk Most chai tea lattes contain about a quarter-cup of milk and the type of milk used makes a difference in how many calories you get. The USDA Nutrient Database notes that a cup of whole milk, which is 3.25 percent fat contains 149 calories. This includes the calories from 7.93 grams of total fat, 11.71 grams of carbohydrates and 12.32 grams total sugar per cup."

If you can, make sure to use fresh, whole cardamom pods, whole cloves, and freshly ground black pepper.

Whatevs. I was still surprised when I tried this and it actually tasted like a chai tea latte. It tasted like I had just gone through the Starbuck drive-thru…but I hadn’t. All I had to do was seep some spices, most of the time which was spent watching house hunters. The most difficult part of this whole recipe was going to a super cute spice store to buy all the spices. Visiting super cute spice stores is my idea of a good time. Now I don’t like all spices. I’ve bitten into one too many slices of havarti cheese or rye bread stuffed with caraway seeds to over spice my chai tea latte with the liquorice flavor."

"text": "\"Calories in a Soy Milk Latteby JANET RENEE, MS, RD Oct. 03, 2017The latte is a coffeehouse classic, traditionally made using espresso and steamed whole milk with a light topping of foam. If for any reason, you don't want it with whole milk, you can typically substitute 2 percent, fat-free or soy milk. Because coffeehouse lattes are handcrafted, the exact amount of calories varies based on the specific recipe. The size you get is another determining factor. You can also often customize the flavor to your liking. Stick with a smaller size if you're worried about excess calories. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Rethinking Your Morning Latte A typical 8-ounce soy milk latte contains around 90 calories with 20 calories from fat, no saturated fat and no cholesterol. A 12-ounce soy milk latte generally has about 130 calories with 35 calories from fat, about .59 grams of saturated fat and no cholesterol. Keep in mind that an 8-ounce whole milk latte contains about 110 calories with 50 calories from fat, 3.5 grams of saturated fat and 20 milligrams of cholesterol.

"text": "How Much Sugar Starbucks Actually Pours Into Your Drinktweet email 144By: Michelle Schoffro Cook January 7, 2015About Michelle Follow Michelle at @ mschoffrocook When we think of fattening foods most of us think of fast foods, decadent desserts, fried foods, or TV dinners. We’re far less likely to consider our Starbucks habit as the reason for our spare tire, muffin top, or those extra pounds we’re carrying around. Yet, many Starbucks’ beverages contain far more fattening sugar than a comparable soda. ( A can of Coke contains 39 grams of sugar, which is already an extremely high amount of sugar even for a full day’s meals.) The World Health Organization recommends that people limit sugar to 5 percent of their daily caloric intake. For a normal adult, that works out to about 25 grams of sugar a day. So just how much sugar are you getting in your favorite Starbucks beverage? I hit the nutrition information on the company’s site to find out. All of the grams of sugar listed below are for a typical “grande”-sized drink, which is the Starbucks lingo for a “medium.” Here’s the amount of sugar in some of your favorite Starbucks drinks — from the worst offenders to the still-pretty-bad ones: How Love This?"

Expert Answer Yes they can be, read on to find out how. Dehydration: A Main Cause of Chapped Lips The most common lip problem faced by many is dry and chapped lips. Your lips are naturally coated with an oily layer to keep them protected. If that thin oily film is removed, your lips tend to become dry, cracked, sore, red and in extreme cases even bleed. Dehydration is one of the main causes of damaged lips."

"text": "\"Chapstick Can Make Your Lips More Chapped? By GEORGIE ANNE WAYNE on December 1, 2013 3:34 PM| 3 Comments I was putting chapstick on my lips for about a minute without realizing how long I have been putting it on for, and my brother announced, \"\"You know that chapstick can make your lips even more chapped, and you can get addicted to it too?\"\" I was extremely suspicious and did not believe him, until my mom chimed in with one of her daily Dr. Oz references to prove it. Apparently chapstick, or lip balm, can \"\" contain irritating chemicals, actually drying lips more, making lip products feel like a necessity. \"\" Now, I do not always believe Dr. Oz, but he brought a woman on his show to prove why it is not always effective and how it can cause an addiction. She claimed she has a problem and always put lip balm on and she keeps it everywhere, she tried to not use it for a day, which she could not even do. Lip Balm does not compare to nicotine in cigarettes, meaning it does not contain any addictive chemicals; rather it is more of a habit that is psychological. People can develop habits that is repeated so many times that it becomes a routine like having to wash your hands all of the time or brushing your teeth. However, it is not proven that people with chapstick obsessions have any other OCD-like habits. There are many skin cells on lips that are designed to shed, and blocking them from removing blocks the natural process and actually \"\"s uffocating t he cells.\"\""

"text": "Susan V. Bershad, MD on behalf of The Mount Sinai Health System Dermatology When I see babies with chapped lips, my first question is whether or not they use pacifiers or take a baby bottle to bed. These should be avoided -- the constant moisture and saliva around the mouth leads to chapping and skin rashes. The same goes for lip licking and chewing bubble gum -- habits I often see in school-age children. Another big cause of chapped lips in children is breathing through their mouths while sleeping because the nasal passages are blocked. All the air passing through the mouth acts like a fan to dry out the lips. It helps to treat the causes of nasal congestion, to moisturize the lips with a waxy lip protector every night at bedtime, and to use a room humidifier during the winter. Audrey Kunin, MDDermatology Frequently chronic chapped lips can look identical to the everyday variety, but they never seem to get better regardless of how often you apply your lip balm. While it is very helpful to have a dermatologist act as your medical sleuth, here are a number of possibilities you can consider: Check for periodontal disease or abscesses. There are reports that deep cleansing of the mouth performed by the dentist (possibly under anesthesia) may help solve the problem. Clarinet players may develop chapping at the contact area of the reed."

Everyone gets chapped lips at one time or another. Chapped lips can also indicate underlying illnesses or conditions that you may not know about, such as dehydration, vitamin deficiency or more serious conditions, if they’re very persistent and do not respond to home treatments. If lip balm or lip ointment doesn’t seem to help, consult your physician as you may have a more serious condition.

Pellagra is typically marked by diarrhea, mental confusion and dermatitis. If left untreated, the condition can lead to death. Pellagra can occur from not receiving an adequate amount of niacin or from having a chronic condition such as ulcerative colitis, which prevents your body from absorbing niacin. This condition can affect your lips, tongue and gums. Your skin may become thick and hardened, resulting in cracking and bleeding."

"text": "Chapped Lips Last Updated On October 8, 2012 By surekha Lips are the most delicate and soft organ in our body and they have very soft surface layers of skin. They are more prone to attack from extreme climates like hot and cold than any other part. Lips are exposed to hot rays of the sun as well as cold wind and dry air and hence subject to dehydration. If they lose moisture from their cells, lips become fragile and develop tiny cracks and splits. These tiny cracks are called chapped lips and are often painful. It is not good to lick your lips often, since it burns the saliva, dehydrating it further. Causes : Exposure to sunlight, cold weather and dry air are the main cause for the formation of chapped lips. When the lips become dehydrated, it may develop cracks. Sometimes, vitamin deficiency may cause this problem. Taking prolonged medications like retiniods can affect your lips."

Three aspects of the lips vary in men and women and by geographic population: size (full or thin), curvature (sinuous or straight) and eversion (turning out or in). All three can be modified through lip enhancement surgery. Lips are composed of skin, muscle and mucosa – no bones and no infrastructure, making them unique pliable."

Occasionally there are more serious causes for persistent chapped lips, including: Sun damage to the lips that has become a precancerous condition Allergies Inflammatory skin disease If your chapped lips don’t go away by using lip balm, Dr Cockerell advises a visit to your dermatologist to see if a medical condition is at the root of the problem.

He's baffled all kinds of doctors and tried all kinds of medications and nothing works. The reason I used to bite my lips is because they constantly felt like they had something on them, like paper, and I had to get it off.

The soft tissues of the lips are sensitive to trauma and frequently swell significantly when injured, even from a slight bump on the lip. Fortunately, treatment for a swollen lip due to an injury is relatively simple. With proper first aid, most swollen lips will return to normal size in a short period of time.

Step 2Rinse your mouth with a solution of equal parts of water and peroxide, but do not swallow the solution. If your lip is bleeding, apply enough pressure to the cut with a gauze pad until the bleeding slows. Step 3Apply a cold compress made of an ice cube wrapped in a gauze pad to the swollen area of your lip. Refrain from applying ice directly to your lip, as prolonged exposure to ice on the soft tissues of the mouth can result in a cold injury, such as frostbite.

The outdoor air combined with the indoor heat can dehydrate our skin and cause lips to crack, bleed, and peel. Many of us shrug off chapped lips as par for the course, but really, they can be a sign of more significant health issues. Here are seven ways chapped lips could be a sign of something else, something more serious than a dehydrated pout. Your peeling and cracked pout can be a sign of a number of things, including dehydration, an allergy, or a vitamin deficiency. Sure, typically, the culprit of chapped lips is licking our lips ( using saliva to hydrate our lip’s skin ), but that's not always the case. What's a good indication there's a deeper meaning? If you suffer from chronic dry lips, and your chapped lips seem like they're impossible to hydrate and even cause you pain, you might want to seek some medical attention. If you suspect that your dry pucker is being caused by something more serious other than winter's dry and cold weather, take a look at these seven common, but more alarming causes of chapped lips.1.

We like to know that our money is relatively safe. Even if the bank fails, we will be able to access our money, either by having it automatically transferred to an acquiring bank, or by having it given to us by the FDIC. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides a way for you to get your money if the bank fails. You accounts are protected, up to $250,000. However, it is important to understand that not everything at your bank is protected by the FDIC. What is Protected By the FDICIn general, most deposit accounts are protected by the FDIC. Checking accounts, savings accounts and CDs are generally protected. Interest bearing deposit accounts are protected in the amount of at least $250,000. It is important to note that this $250,000 is an aggregate amount for each bank; all of your accounts at a single bank are added together to get this amount."

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

"text": "Overdraft Bank Fees: How To Avoid Them With New Fed Rules July 6, 2010 By Low Cards.com If you have a checking account, you now have a choice to make about overdraft protection. New Federal Reserve rules require banks to receive permission from each checking account customer before the bank provides overdraft protection for ATM and debit card transactions. The change started July 1 for new customers and takes effect on Aug. 13 for existing customers. The rules do not cover checks or automatic bill payments–banks can still authorize and pay overdrafts for these transactions at their discretion and charge a fee. An overdraft occurs when one does not have enough money in a checking account to pay for a transaction, but it is paid by the bank anyway. This service is a loan from the bank and it isn’t free. Banks charge anon-sufficient funds paid item fee (NSF) that is typically $30-$40. A fee is charged for each transaction paid in this manner. Before the new rules, most banks automatically added courtesy overdraft protection to checking accounts with details and fees in the fine print. Some customers didn’t realize the high price of the fee until they incurred the charge."

"text": "\"What is 'Overdraft Protection'Overdraft protection is a line of credit that banks offer to their customers to cover their overdrafts. Overdraft protection kicks in when a customer writes a check for more than the amount in their account. Overdraft protection is usually used as a cushion for checking accounts, but can be applied to savings accounts as well. Also referred to as \"\"cash reserve checking. \"\" Next Up Overdraft Cap Insufficient Funds Available Funds Uncommitted Facility BREAKING DOWN 'Overdraft Protection'Normally, an overdraft occurs when an account holder withdraws more than he has from his checking account. When this happens, the individual or business is charged an NSF fee (Non-sufficient Funds) or overdraft fee which averages $35 per transaction. For example, an individual who writes a check to his landlord for $800 to cover his rent for the month, will have the check bounced if he only has $650 in his checking account. In addition, he will be charged an overdraft fee of, say $30, for approving a debit transaction that exceeds his available funds. Not only will he be penalized by his landlord, he will now have an available balance in his account of $650 - $30 = $620. An account holder who wishes to protect himself in the event that he runs short of funds at some time in the future, may opt for an overdraft protection."

"text": "\"Overdrawing your checking account costs an average $225 in fees per year, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau finds. Checking account customers are racking up hundreds of dollars in overdraft fees each year, a new government report finds. On average, overdrawing an account costs customers $225 in fees per year, according to a new study from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Overdraft fees are sparked when a customer overdraws their checking account by making a purchase with their debit card and the bank covers the transaction instead of denying it, while non-sufficient fund (NSF) fees kick in when a check or automatic payment overdraws the account. Depending on the bank, the average amount spent on these fees can be as low as $147 per year and can go all the way up to $298. And banks aren't complaining, with overdraft and non-sufficient fund fees making up 60% or more of consumer checking account fee revenue, the CFPB estimated. Related: How your checking account stacks up As a result of a 2010 Federal Reserve rule aimed at improving the transparency of overdraft programs, banks are required to automatically opt customers out of overdraft protection unless they voluntarily opt in to the program. At certain banks, opt-in rates are as high as 40%, while others have rates of 10% or lower. How hackers stole $45 million from banks Yet, policies still vary widely from bank to bank -- often making it hard to understand the risks and costs associated with an overdraft program. Some banks limit the number of overdraft fees a customer can incur in one day to two while some allow as many as 12; some won't charge fees if an account was overdrawn by less than $5 while some charge fees on every transaction; and some order transactions in a way that maximizes overdraft fees while others minimize fees."

"text": "Banking and Loans Checking Accounts How to Use a Debit Card for Pay Pal Cards Are Optional if You Link Bank Accounts Share Flip Pin Email•••By Justin Pritchard Updated November 30, 2017Pay Pal is a useful tool for making payments. Originally designed for online payments and purchases, Pay Pal also allows you to shop at brick-and-mortar retailers using your Pay Pal account instead of traditional payment methods. You can fund payments from several sources, including your debit card. If you prefer shopping with a debit card, it might even be wise to run payments through Pay Pal. Doing so protects your card information: Instead of swiping your card at retailers or punching in your card number everywhere you shop online, Pay Pal creates a layer between your checking account and the merchants you shop with. In a world of hackers and constant data breaches, it’s nice to insulate your checking account from trouble. That protection gives you more confidence when buying from online vendors that you don’t know anything about, and even household-name retailers get hacked periodically. Note: This article is about using a debit card to fund purchases you make through Pay Pal. If you want to get a new debit card issued by Pay Pal (which might let you spend from your Pay Pal balance), skip to Pay Pal debit and credit card options. Debit Cards Allowed, But Not Required If you’re just planning to use your debit card as your “funding method” at Pay Pal, you might be adding unnecessary steps."

Personal checks are available in a wide variety of colors and styles and can include a range of images that reflect the personal tastes of the individual. Personal checks are generally handwritten but printed checks are being used more for personal use as well. Business checks are larger so that they can be printed more easily and can be used in a ledger which makes accounting easier. Business checks may also be handwritten. The difference in size between business and personal checks also serves to differentiate between the two, but there are no legal requirements for a business check to be larger than a personal check. In fact, the color and size of the check has no bearing on whether the check can be cashed or not. Professional A business check that has a picture of puppies and kittens on it is just as valid as a standard blue safety check, but that just wouldn’t look very professional -- unless you run a veterinary clinic or pet store, and even then it’s generally not a good idea to get too cute or clever with your business checks. The design should be simple, functional and yes, boring. This will fit give your checks the professional image a business needs to maintain."

Starting Aug. 20, a Chase credit card can no longer be used to provide overdraft protection for a personal checking account. Only a Chase savings account can be linked to a personal checking account to provide that backup funding. So what happens if Chase checking account holders overdraw their accounts and don’t have a Chase savings account? It means that Chase checking account holders might have more declined transactions and might incur fees for insufficient funds and returned items. Using money from a savings account instead of a credit card to cover overdrafts might seem more fiscally responsible because consumers are using money they already have. They aren’t borrowing money, which, in turn, could help them avoid interest charges on money transferred from a credit card. But some people on Twitter didn’t seem that happy about the change. “Hey @Chase customers, they are changing their overdraft protection. Time to change banks."

"text": "Banking and Loans Checking Accounts Tips for Using a Debit Card Online Share Flip Pin Email•••By Justin Pritchard Updated February 25, 2018Your debit card makes it easy to spend using your checking account, and debit cards are accepted almost everywhere credit cards are accepted. But if you have the option to use a credit card, it’s probably safer to use credit — especially when shopping online. How to Use a Debit Card Online Enter the number: Provide your debit card number, which is a 16-digit number if you have Visa, Mastercard, or Discover. Again, you can enter a debit card number even if the merchant asks for a “credit card. ”Verify details: In addition to a card number, most merchants require some sort of verification to reduce the chances of fraud. To do so, enter the security code (usually on the back of your card) and any address information required – the zip code you enter must match the address on file with your bank. Unlike purchases at a checkout counter, you will not need to provide your PIN. Online purchases will be processed as a “credit” transaction, and funds will be deducted from your checking account within a few business days. There are a few situations when an actual credit card is required (some hotel and rental car agencies will only accept a credit card – or they’ll lock up funds in your checking account ), but debit cards are fine for most transactions. Most online services like i Tunes and Netflix will accept either, and they won't know or care that you're using a debit card."

"text": "The latest Bankrate survey shows that consumers who overdraw their checking account continue to get soaked by courtesy overdraft programs offered by banks and savings banks around the country. Courtesy overdraft Bankrate survey: customers soaked Billions paid in fees Avoid the fee trap What’s ahead? Bankrate’s survey, which examined the five largest banks and the five largest thrifts in each of the top 10 metropolitan markets, shows that the average fee charged for courtesy overdraft is $29. That average is for the first overdraft. Banks charge that fee on a “per item” basis, meaning it gets tacked on to each overdraft. Several institutions charge escalating fees with each ensuing overdraft, which can pile up quickly. So, if you overdraw frequently, the average fee you pay could be considerably higher than $29. For instance, Bank of America cuts first-time offenders some slack and charges $20 for the first overdraft; after that the fee rises to $35. But the costs to consumers don’t end there. A handful of surveyed banks also charge another fee every day an account is in negative territory."

We like to know that our money is relatively safe. Even if the bank fails, we will be able to access our money, either by having it automatically transferred to an acquiring bank, or by having it given to us by the FDIC.

However, it is important to understand that not everything at your bank is protected by the FDIC. What is Protected By the FDICIn general, most deposit accounts are protected by the FDIC.

Created to avoid a run on the banks, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) can provide some peace of mind if you know what it does and how to maximize the protection of your money. Related Products MOREEvery Californian's Guide to Estate Planning Make Your Own Living Trust The Executor's Guide Online Will Related Ads Nobody can guarantee the success or longevity of a particular bank, but the FDIC, an independent government agency, does the next best thing by insuring customers' deposits in most U. S. banks and savings associations. If an insured institution fails (in other words, closes because it can no longer meet its obligations), the FDIC reimburses qualified account owners dollar-for-dollar for losses -- but only up to the insurance limit. To avoid having any of your bank deposits at risk, learn exactly which accounts the FDIC insures, how much protection the insurance provides, and how you would recover your money if your bank failed. Who and What Is Covered? You do not have to be a citizen, a U. S. resident, or even a person to be covered by FDIC insurance.

"text": "Check washing is a somewhat unsophisticated but often effective form of fraud in which a legitimate check's information is erased chemically or electronically, allowing a criminal to rewrite the amount of the check and the name of the payee. While there may be some defenses, such as electronic inks and hidden watermarks, to guard against such fraud, the technique works because many recipients accept the check at face value due to the legitimacy of the signature. Because rudimentary methods can easily damage a paper check, however, many con artists ruin more checks than they can cash. The washing process is not especially difficult, although the results can vary widely. In a typical operation, a legitimate check is prepared by placing a protective seal over the signature line. This could be a low adhesive tape or sticker. The check is then held with tongs and placed in a pan that usually contains acetone (nail polish remover), paint thinner, or bleach. The chemical dissolves many types of ink found in standard ballpoint pens. Once the ink from the check has dissolved completely, the check is hung up to air dry. The result, ideally, is a signed blank check, which the con artist can rewrite to suit his or her needs."

October 6, 2008 Update: The FDIC has increased the maximum deposits covered under federal insurance. The new FDIC coverage limits are outlined here. Without getting too specific about the company I work for, a large company like mine has to make efficient use of its financial assets. Most of a company’s money should be invested in bonds, equities, or even more complex financial instruments, but a portion needs to be in regular deposit accounts like savings and certificates of deposit to maintain liquidity. The best strategy when dealing with millions of dollars in CDs is to distribute the money across a large number of banks across the country. As I mentioned earlier, as long as a bank is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the money is safe, up to $100,000 per depositor per account. The FDIC does more than protect up to $100,000, and the details are important. At any particular bank, single accounts — that is, not joint accounts — are insured up to $100,000 in total."

It is an agency that is backed by the government and insures the money that you have deposited in your bank in the event that the bank fails.

By The BIDa WIZ Team on August 1st, 2011 at 2:30 pm The financial woes for many regional banks continue with three more shutting down this year, bringing the total to 61 as compared to 157 in 2010. While many of the largest banks (i.e. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo & Citigroup) are in relatively stable financial position, it is always important to make sure your bank accounts are FDIC-insured. How do I know if my bank account is insured? The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) which happens to be part of the US government, insures you against the loss of your deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. It’s not all insured though. Most FDIC-insured banks cover your total deposits with the bank up to $250,000. If you have a joint bank account with your spouse, then the total insured is $500,000. The types of deposit accounts that qualify are checking and savings accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit (CDs)."

"text": "Updated 10/30/2017FDIC Coverage Despite a dramatic drop in the number of failures, the number of banks on the FDIC’s problem bank list remains a concern. Generally, a problem bank is defined as one considered to be in financial difficulty based on an analysis of various factors, including liquidity, capital levels, and asset quality. As a result, the extent to which the FDIC insures various types of accounts continues to be a critical financial planning piece for retirees or those contemplating retirement, particularly if one’s life savings are deposited in one institution. This section updates the basic deposit insurance rules, as well as providing readers with resources necessary to determine how those rules apply to them FDIC Menu Deposit Insurance Rules IRAs, Retirement Accounts and Revocable Trusts Treatment of CDs FDIC Check List: Deposit Insurance Rules The FDIC insures the following types of deposit accounts at banks and savings associations: Checking,Negotiable Order of Withdrawal (NOW),Savings,Money market, and Certificates of deposit (CDs) up to the insurance limit. It is just as important to know that the FDIC does not insure the contents of safe deposit boxes or the money you invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities, or municipal securities, even if you purchased these products from an insured bank or savings association. The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) applies analogous rules and insurance limits to funds deposited in their insured institutions. When President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act on July 21, 2010, the standard maximum deposit insurance amount permanently became $250,000. Previously, there had been a temporary increase from $100,000 to $250,000 starting on October 3, 2008. In terms of basic bank accounts, this means that both a single account (one owner) and joint account (two or more owners) are insured up to $250,000 per owner. As a result, a married couple can keep a million dollars liquid and insured in a single bank by dividing up the money as follows: husband's single account with $250,000, wife's single account with $250,000, joint account with $500,000 ($250,000 each)."

"text": "How SIPC Works and How it Differs from FDIC Insurance By Jeremy Vohwinkle 3 Comments Tweet How SIPC Insurance Can Protect Your Investments With news of banks failing and being taken over by FDIC, a lot of people are questioning not only how safe their deposits are, but their investments in brokerage accounts and mutual fund companies as well. One thing you have to remember is that FDIC insurance only protects deposit accounts at an FDIC insured bank, and that coverage is only on the first $250,000 in each account. But what about money that you have in your IRA or brokerage account? How is that protected? Securities Investor Protection Corporation Just like how the FDIC insures bank deposits in the event of a bank failure, SIPC insures investment accounts in the event of a failure. In the case with SIPC, accounts are insured up to $500,000 per account. This includes $250,000 in cash. When a brokerage is closed due to a bankruptcy or other reason and investor’s securities are missing, the SIPC steps in to return these assets. Customers of a failed brokerage firm get back all securities (such as stocks and bonds) that already are registered in their name or are in the process of being registered. After this first step, the firm’s remaining customer assets are then divided on a pro rata basis with funds shared in proportion to the size of claims."

"text": "\"During the Great Depression, panicky Americans converted deposits into currency and thousands of banks that could not meet withdrawal demands were forced to close. When the banks closed, depositors ended up losing all of their savings. Consequently, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933, which created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This independent U. S. government agency protects depositors against losses and prevents runs on FDIC-insured banks or savings association banks. Discover what types of deposits the FDIC covers and how to make sure that you are getting the highest level of insurance for your money. Coverage History Initially, federal deposit insurance provided up to $2,500 in coverage. By all counts, it was successful in restoring public confidence and stability in the nation's banking system. Only nine banks failed in 1934, whereas more than 9,000 had failed during the preceding four years. In July 1934, the coverage increased to $5,000. Since then, the maximum insurance has changed as follows:1950 to $10,0001966 to $15,0001969 to $20,0001974 to $40,0001978 to $100,000 for IRAs and Keoghs1980 to $100,000 for all accounts2006 to $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts2008 to $250,000 for all accounts What's Covered The FDIC insurance covers the principal and any accrued interest through the date of the insured bank's closing on all your bank deposits including: checking, savings, money markets, and CDs."

Posted: January 25, 2009 Basicguides Over the last few decades, bank depositors have been relatively complacent regarding the safety of their money, and justifiably so. Since its inception in 1934, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has never failed to cover an insured deposit. But in 15 bank failures prior to 1999, more than $114 million dollars in deposits were uninsured. To avoid that predicament in today's climate of bank failure, consumers need to learn FDIC insurance limits and how to protect their money. Which accounts are covered by FDIC insurance? Protected deposits products The FDIC insures the following deposits products: Checking accounts Savings accounts Money market accounts (MMAs)Certificates of deposit (CDs)Other bank items In addition to the above, the FDIC covers other bank-related items, including: Cashier's checks Money orders Traveler's checks Accrued interest and other liabilities As long as the institution holding these deposits is FDIC-insured, so are the deposits. In addition, many brokerages offer FDIC-insured CDs to their customers. What does not have FDIC insurance coverage? Although deposits products are protected, other investments found at FDIC-insured banks do not have coverage, including: Annuities Stocks Bonds Life insurance policies Mutual funds How much is covered under FDIC insurance limits?"

The type of accounts that can be FDIC-insured include negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW), checking, savings and money market deposit accounts, as well as Certificate of Deposits (CD). The maximum amount that is insured in a qualified account is $250,000 per depositor, member institution.

Participating banks are required to display an official sign at each teller window or station where deposits are regularly received. Depositors can verify whether a bank is an FDIC member through a search at FDIC.gov. Membership with the FDIC is voluntary, with member banks or funding the insurance coverage through premium payments.

"text": "A: Bank deposits owned by corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies (LLCs) and unincorporated associations, including for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, are FDIC insured accounts. Eligible business accounts for coverage from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are checking accounts, savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, certificates of deposit (CDs), cashier's checks, money orders and other official items issued by banks covered by the FDIC. Requirements for FDIC Coverage of Business Accounts There are two requirements for a business account to qualify for FDIC coverage. The corporation, partnership, LLC or unincorporated organization making the deposit has to be organized under applicable state law. Deposits made by sole proprietorships, revocable trusts or government entities are not considered to be business accounts. The main purpose of operation of the corporation, partnership, LLC or unincorporated organization making the deposit has to be other than to increase deposit insurance coverage by the FDIC. Details of FDIC Coverage of Business Accounts Total deposits in eligible business accounts from a corporation, partnership, LLC or unincorporated organization at a bank are covered up to $250,000. For example, if a corporation owns a checking account with $150,000 and a CD for another $150,000 at the same bank, the FDIC only insures $250,000, not the remaining $50,000. The corporation would need to transfer the remaining $50,000 to another bank for those funds to be eligible for FDIC coverage. Deposits in personal accounts from owners or members of the corporation, partnership, LLC or unincorporated organization at the same bank are not used to calculate the total deposits of a business account."

Prepaid debit cards make it possible to shop online and in store – and even pay bills and withdraw money from ATMs – just like someone who has a bank account. The IRS will deposit your tax refund to a prepaid debit card and many employers will load your paycheck onto one (though this option has many drawbacks ). Online services like Pay Pal and Venmo let you send and receive money without a bank account. You can also operate on an all-cash system by cashing your paycheck at Walmart or a check-cashing store, then paying your bills in person, at a Walmart Money Center or at a check-cashing store.

A money market deposit account earns interest at a rate set by the bank and usually limits the customer to a certain number of transactions within a stated time period. Do not confuse a money market mutual fund with an FDIC-insured money market deposit account, which earns interest in an amount determined by, and paid by, the financial institution where your funds are deposited.

In general, you are likely, but not guaranteed, to have dimples. This is because having dimples is a dominant trait. Genetics is the study of how certain features are transferred from generation to generation. Not all characteristics are passed through inheritance. For example, if you have black hair but dye your hair green, that doesn t mean your children will have green hair. How it works: Your body is made up of individual living units called cells. These cells almost always contain DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, but don t worry about the name for now). Your DNA contains genes, which are instruction manuals for building proteins that are used for building your body and keeping it running correctly. There are many proteins necessary for basic life thought to number over 20,000 basic proteins from these genes."

Genetics is what determined nearly all of your physical characteristics: your height, your eye color, your hair texture; you inherited all of these traits and they all have clear genetic bases. The same applies to your risk for various health problems including but not limited to diabetes, some cancers and cardiovascular disease.1. Basic concepts Cells are the basic building blocks of our body. Most cells, with the exception of red blood cells, have a special compartment called the nucleus. Inside the nucleus, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes where genes are located. Within the same person, all the cells carry the same set of genes. Genes are stretches of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that contain instructions for making functional molecules including RNA (ribonucleic acid) and proteins. These molecules control all chemical reactions essential to life. Genes are the functional units that parents pass to offspring."

"text": "The Genetics of Dimpleswritten by: Paul Arnold •edited by: Paul Arnold •updated: 3/6/2017Dimples is the word given to any natural indentation or dent on the body, but usually refers to the face. They are most commonly visible when someone smiles. They are a genetic trait following an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. What Are Dimples? Dimples can be present on both cheeks or one, and some people have them on their chin. Like all physical traits that you possess you have two genes for them. One inherited from your father and one from your mother. The way that a physical trait is expressed, and hence the way you look is a result of either a combination of dominant genes, a dominant and a recessive gene or two recessive genes. The genetics of dimples follows a dominant pattern of inheritance, that is to say that a child only needs to inherit one dominant gene for dimples to have them. When someone talks about a gene for dimples they mean a gene or set of genes that will produce the physiological and anatomical changes that result in these skin indentations."

Smiles performed without the eye contraction may be perceived as insincere. Among humans, smiling is an expression denoting pleasure, sociability, happiness, joy or amusement. It is distinct from a similar but usually involuntary expression of anxiety known as a grimace.

Although the study of physiognomy is not part of a separate science of biology or psychology, people have been and are preoccupied to distinguish and interpret people’s faces, facial expressions and micro expressions. The best way to learn face reading is to first learn how to recognize the different facial features and then learn how to relate them to their corresponding personality traits. For the start I recommend you analyzing your personal traits such as: – Your forehead type and size, occurring wrinkles and their alignment – Eyebrows and eyes color, size, distance between them and shape – Nose shape and length – Mouth, lips and chin, shape and size – Ears, hair and face shape Surprisingly, many people may not know the answer to many of these questions, that’s why it’s very important to learn how to recognize these facial features in order to master the science of face reading. People usually become very enthusiastic about learning face reading and thus skip this step, however, it’s a strongly recommended step if you want to become a good face reader. Below I will share those distinct areas of physiognomy. Facial shape Round Face: They are known as water-shaped faced people. They have plump and fleshy face.

If correctly diagnosed, HH is easily and effectively treated, but if untreated, it can lead to severe organ damage. Caucasians of northern European descent are at highest risk. An estimated one million people in the United States have hereditary hemochromatosis. HH causes the body to absorb too much iron. Normally humans extract needed iron from food via the intestines.

"text": "A dimple is any sort of indentation, but most people use the term to refer specifically to indentations in the skin, particularly on the cheeks. Dimpled cheeks are considered attractive in many cultures, and they are a common genetic trait. Most are actually caused by a birth defect, which just goes to show that not all “malformations” are actually bad. The most common cause of dimples is a shortened muscle, which explains why they are not always apparent when a person is at rest, since this is when the muscles are typically in their shortened state. In the face, shorter face muscles pull at the skin, especially when someone smiles, creating a classic dimple. Over time, the muscles of the face can slowly stretch out, which is why some people have them when they are young, but lose them as they age. Dimples can also form on other body parts, like the buttocks. Those in other regions are usually not as highly prized as those on the face, perhaps because the face is readily visible, while other body parts are not. The genetics of dimples is actually rather interesting. They are a dominant trait, which means that it only takes one gene to inherit this defect."

The cheetah fancy living in open country including several parts of the geographic range. They build their habitats in semidesert, open grasslands, open woodlands, savanna mosaics and grassy plains. A few species will also survive on the rocky hills of Sahara and sandy plains where they move randomly and hide themselves under the rock or behind the bushes to avoid intense heat. The cheetah’s habitats are also found in the semiarid rangelands and savannas of Kenya. Some species inhabit at a height of 1,500 meters in the mountains of Ethiopia including Kalahari and Namib. Cheetahs are absent from the equatorial forests of Central and West Africa. The primitive cheetahs were known to live in Asia and occupied all the major habitats of the world. According to the fossils some two to four hundred million years ago a giant cheetah named Acinonyx pardinensis lived all across Europe. The weight of the cat was measured at 200 pounds."

Species to look out for include the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino), many antelope species, zebras, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles and good populations of cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs, as well as smaller species such as serval and bat-eared fox. The Maasai Mara can become crowded during the high safari seasons of July to November and January to February, and during these times it’s advisable to stay in the neighboring private conservancies. The private conservancies are close enough to permit day trips to the river crossings and mass congregations of wildebeest in the reserve, with the advantage of accommodation in crowd-free camps and lodges outside of the reserve. The private conservancies allow off-road road driving, night drives and bush walks – which are not possible within the reserve. The Maasai people play an integral role in your Maasai Mara safari and although their traditional nomadic lifestyle has largely been abandoned, they still uphold many traditions and dress codes. Many of the lodges have a strong Maasai community presence and provide wonderful and enriching cultural experiences for tourists. The neighboring conservancies offer particularly genuine community experiences. More about the great wildebeest migration: The Greatest Show on Earth is in fact an ongoing process and not an event.1,5 to 2 million wildebeest, zebras and various antelope species form the largest land mammal migration on Earth as they continuously follow the rains and good grazing across the vast plains of Serengeti and Maasai Mara. Along the way they cross many rivers, a sometimes chaotic and dramatic process if the river banks are steep and the water deep and fast flowing."

( Jeffrey Jung/Wikicommons)The descendants of the Tsavo Man-Eaters lions have emerged from the African Bush to strike terror in workers replacing the Kenya-Uganda Railway. In 1898, the notorious Tsavo Man-Eaters – a pair of lions with a taste for human flesh – killed dozens of Indian workers who built the British Kenya-Uganda Railway, before they were shot by a British colonial officer. Why advertise with us Now their descendants in Kenya are attacking workers laying the £2.5bn replacement of the rail line by the Chinese. According to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), a ranger was attacked and badly injured by a lion earlier this week, whilst he was guarding an area near the construction of the new railway line. The area was to be visited by the Kenyan President, Uhuru Kenyatta. Earlier this year, KWS had urged workers building the new standard gauge railway to take extra care in the evening, so as to avoid being prey for Tsavo's lions. KWS assistant director Robert Obrein was reported to have told workers in the area: \"\" (The Company's) camp is in the area where the notorious man-eating lions that were responsible for the deaths of a number of workers who built the Kenya-Uganda railway in 1898 roamed. It is also near Tsavo River where other big cats such as cheetahs and leopards come to drink water. \"\" Ghost and the Darkness The Lions of Tsavo became famous in 1898 when a team of Indian builders were attacked by two lions while building a bridge over the River Tsavo."

To see one whilst on safari is a real privilege, as these delicate carnivores are amongst the most beautiful (and the most elusive) of all African animals. Record-Breaking Speed Like a million dollar sportscar, everything about the cheetah is built for speed, from their thin, muscular bodies to their increased lung capacity. Adaptations like these allow the cheetah to go from 0 - 60 mph/ 0 - 100 kmph in under three seconds - an acceleration speed that is on par with the fastest production cars created by Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini. When cheetah run, their stride is so long and so quick that only one foot touches the ground at any given time. The cheetah's hind legs have muscles designed to produce speed, whereas those on its forelegs are adapted for steering and balance. As a result, all of the cheetah's power comes from the back. The Struggle to Survive However, being faster than any other animal on the savannah doesn't necessarily guarantee the cheetah hunting success. Although they can reach speeds of up to 75 mph/ 120 kmph, they cannot maintain such speeds for long. Often, prey animals including springbok and steenbok survive by simply outlasting their opponent."

"text": "\"Environment How Many Types Of Cobras Are There? Which Species Are Most Venomous? Cobras, snakes that produce highly potent neurotoxic venoms, are among the most deadly groups of snakes living in the world. Cobras are known for their characteristic hoods that they exhibit when threatened. Cobras is the common name used to refer to a group of elapids most of which belong to the Naja genus. All cobras are venomous, and most are capable of producing a hood when threatened. Here we mention the 10 most venomous cobras as a list. The LD50 value of the venom of these snakes is mentioned beside their names in brackets. The LD50 or the \"\"Lethal dose, 50%\"\" represents the dose of cobra venom required to claim the lives of the 50% of the members of the population being tested. Thus, lower the LD50 value, more potent is the venom."

"text": "\"Extinction Throughout recorded history a cheetah pelt was a badge of wealth for its human owner. The animal was killed for its skin by some and captured for its hunting skills by others. But most recently, human excess is probably the major factor dramatically pushing the cheetah toward extinction. As human populations increase other species are \"\"squeezed out\"\" - their living space becomes more limited as does their food supply. Many animals feel the pinch and are at great risk of disappearing forever. In 1900 there were only about 100,000 cheetah worldwide - present estimates place their number at 10 to 15 thousand with about 1/10 of those living in captivity. Namibia has the largest population of wild cheetah - about 2500. Smaller populations exist in Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania while 19 other countries have even fewer. Three international agencies set the standards for an \"\"extinct\"\" or \"\"endangered\"\" rating. They are the World Conservation Union (IUCN), the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES)."

Among one of the most ferocious felines, lion (Panthera leo) belongs to the family of Felidae. They are by far one of the biggest cats in the world. They are normally found in Sub-Sahara Africa and Asia. Previously, some of the species also believed to have existed in North Africa; however, currently there are no cats in this part of the world. In India, lions reside in Gir Forest National Park. Going back 10,000 years ago, lions were believed to be the most common mammals with their widespread distribution across Europe, Africa, and America. Biologists aren’t still sure about the cause of their extinction but deforestation or habitat destruction are some of the major reasons for their extermination. The western African lions have now been endangered. There is a dramatic decline in the lions population with an estimate of about 40% – 50% decline has been recorded over the past few decades."

The Cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus) is naturally found in the open grasslands of eastern and southwestern Africa. It is a long, lanky cat with a yellow-grey fur spotted with dark dots. The word cheetah comes from the Sanskrit word 'chitraka' meaning 'the spotted one'. About Bursts of high speed give the cheetah an enormous advantage as a predator. Its slender, long-legged body is adapted to enable it to reach high speeds. The cheetah is smaller, leaner than other big cats, measuring 44 to 53 inches long with a tail length of 26 to 33 inches. Cheetahs usually weigh 50-64 kg (110-140 lb). The head is small with eyes set high and a black 'tear mark' running from the inner aspect of each eye down to the mouth."

By Roff Smith Photograph by Frans Lanting Anticipation ripples through the crowd. Fingers tighten around binoculars. Camera lenses snap into focus. No fewer than 11 canopied safari buses, bright with tourists and bristling with long lenses, huddle near a solitary acacia tree in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. For the past half hour a mother cheetah named Etta has been sitting in the shade with her four young cubs, eyeing a herd of Thomson’s gazelles that drifted into view on a nearby rise. Now she’s up and moving, sidling toward the herd with a studied nonchalance that fools no one, least of all the gazelles, which are staring nervously in her direction. Suddenly one of the guides shouts, as the gazelles break and run and Etta launches into an explosive sprint. The sleek cat is too fast for the eye to follow, blurring through the grass like a bullet. The drama is over in seconds, ending with a puff of dust and a stranglehold on a luckless young gazelle."

Photograph: David Tipling/Alamy T hese safari options do not include flights to the region but rather suggest a range of trips that are possible once you get to east Africa. Most start from the Kenyan capital Nairobi but also from Kampala in Uganda, Kigali in Rwanda and Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Operators in the region generally quote prices in US dollars, although some will accept other currencies. Many do not list details and prices of all possible itineraries on their websites but the options below have been carefully selected to maximise experience and minimise cost. Prices quoted are generally the lowest that the operator offers for that particular trip but they – and the itineraries – have been confirmed with each operator directly. Three-day super-budget safari in the Maasai Mara, Kenya With park fees, transport and accommodation, Maasai Mara safaris can quickly add up to US $300 a day. Many of the budget options are very rough and ready, but this safari sacrifices some comfort – getting there means up to five hours on the road from Nairobi in a safari-style van as opposed to a 40-minute flight – but you still get nearly two full days in the reserve and the chance to observe wildlife including lions, elephants, cheetah, wildebeest, antelope and many other species. During the great migration (expected between July and October this year) wildebeest herds cross from the Serengeti into the Mara and make several high-risk river crossings. The simple camp with platform tents is near one of the gates to the Mara, the food – such as sausage and beans – is no-nonsense but included in the price and plentiful, and Kenya's famous Tusker beer can be purchased separately."

The plains zebra remains common in game reserves, but is threatened by human activities such as hunting for its meat and hide, as well as competition with livestock and encroachment by farming on much of its habitat. Subspecies include the extinct quagga and six recognised extant subspecies, though there is great variation in coat patterns between individuals. The striping pattern is unique among ungulates in the region, and its functions are disputed. Suggested functions include crypsis, forms of motion camouflage, social signaling and recognition, and discouraging biting flies. As of 2016, the plains zebra is classified as Near Threatened by IUCN. [ 1] [4]The plains zebra's range is fragmented, but spans much of southern and eastern Africa south of the Sahara.

A relic population of a few hundred may exist in the northern Arabian Peninsula and Northwest Afghanistan. They do not inhabit forests, but their habitat varies widely. Cheetahs can be found in savannas, open woodlands and in the semi-desert areas.

Yes, we absorb some water into the skin when we’re immersed in a lake or a bath, hence the phenomenon of “prune fingers.” It’s the dead surface layer of keratin that absorbs the water; the deeper layers don’t. It’s not a large amount but it can be enough to cause some serious problems (deterioration of the skin) in prolonged immersion. As for losses through the skin, at a comfortable air temperature, an adult loses about 400 m L of water per day by cutaneous transpiration, which is not the same as sweating. This is not glandular—it is just water diffusing between the epidermal cells and evaporating from the skin surface. Under the same comfortable conditions, we lose only about 100 m L/day by sweating—so, 4 times as much nonsweating water loss through the skin as by sweating.

Neurotoxins are substances attracted to the mammalian nervous system. They are absorbed by nerve endings and travel inside the neuron to the cell body. On their way they disrupt vital functions of the nerve cell, such as axonal transport of nutrients, mitochondrial respiration and proper DNA transcription. The body is constantly trying to eliminate neurotoxins via the available exit routes — the liver, kidney, skin and exhaled air. Detox mechanisms include acetylation, sulfation, glucuronidation, oxidation and others. The liver is most important in these processes. Here most elimination products are expelled with the bile into the small intestine and should leave the body via the digestive tract."

Bacteria, viruses and other contaminants thrive in untreated hot water, so before entering any spa use test strips to check for adequate sanitizer, Total Alkalinity and p H levels. Spa water that is cloudy, or has a strong or musty odor, is an indicator of poor sanitation and excess contaminants. Shock with dichlor to clean up problem water, and add Oxy-Spa Non-chlorine Shock after each use to prevent cloudiness.

But bromine toxicity is a definite danger from some surprising sources, and it can wreak havoc on your health. Bromines All Around You Bromines are common endocrine disruptors, and are part of the halide family, a group of elements that includes fluorine, chlorine and iodine. What makes it so dangerous is that it competes for the same receptors that are used to capture iodine. If you are exposed to a lot of bromine, your body will not hold on to the iodine that it needs. And iodine affects every tissue in your body — not just your thyroid. You are already exposed to far too much chlorine and bromine. Bromine can be found in a number of places in your everyday world, including:•Pesticides (specifically methyl bromide, used mainly on strawberries, predominantly in California)•Plastics, like those used to make computers•Bakery goods and some flours often contain a “dough conditioner” called potassium bromate•Soft drinks (including Mountain Dew, Gatorade, Sun Drop, Squirt, Fresca and other citrus-flavored sodas), in the form of brominated vegetable oils (BVOs)•Medications such as Atrovent Inhaler, Atrovent Nasal Spray, Pro-Banthine (for ulcers), and anesthesia agents•Fire retardants (common one is polybromo diphenyl ethers or PBDEs) used in fabrics, carpets, upholstery, and mattresses•Bromine-based hot tub and swimming pool treatments According to van Leeuwen, who has extensively studied the effects of sodium bromide on thyroid function:“Although the bromide ion is widely distributed in nature, the main route of exposure in humans stems from bromide residues in food commodities as a result of the abundant use of bromide-containing pesticides, like methylbromide and ethylene dibromide, for soil fumigation in intensive horticulture and for postharvest treatment. ”One clinical consequence of overexposure to bromine is suppression of your thyroid, leading to hypothyroidism, which will be discussed shortly.

All manufacturers have limit switches so that the spa water does not exceed 104 degrees F, however that is not to say that a hot tub could not exceed 104 degrees F. Sometimes thermostats and high limit switches in hot tubs can become defective and not work properly, so it is always a good idea to have a thermometer and check the water temperature in your hot tub before jumping in.

We also strongly suggest that you do not tamper with the high limit switches in your hot tub that were put in place by the spa manufacturer for your safety. Manufacturers Suggestion Even the spa manufacturers suggested 104 degrees F, there can still be health concerns for some tub users."

Your thyroid is responsible for producing the master metabolism hormones that control every function in your body. Hypothyroidism occurs when your thyroid produces too little thyroid hormone, a condition that is often linked to iodine deficiency. Your thyroid, one of the largest endocrine glands, greatly influences almost every cell in your body. Aside from regulating your metabolism and weight by controlling the fat-burning process, thyroid hormones are also required for the growth and development in children and in nearly every physiological process in your body. When your thyroid levels are out of balance, so are you. Too much or too little hormone secretion in this gland can spell trouble for your overall health and well-being. Mounting research shows that 10 to 40 percent of people living in the United States have suboptimal thyroid function. 1 Poor thyroid function has been linked to serious health conditions like fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, acne, eczema, gum disease, infertility, and autoimmune diseases, which is why it's imperative that you to learn how your thyroid works and what can cause it to go off kilter. The Thyroid Gland: Understanding How It Works The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland found inside your neck, right under your larynx or voice box."

"text": "3 Ways to Reduce Chemicals in Bath Water Katie - Wellness Mama 171 Comments Updated: March 4, 2018 This post contains affiliate links Twitter Facebook Google+ Pinterest Reddit Regular tap water can be a source of many chemicals from chlorine to fluoride and many others. At our house, we have a water filter for our drinking water and we also use filters on shower heads. Since most of our kids are not old enough to take showers yet, I also wanted to find a good option for bath water. I’m yet to find a filter adapter for a bath tub, but I’ve told my dad (an engineer) that he needs to work on one of these!In the meantime, I wanted to find ways to reduce the chemicals my children were exposed during bath time. My son had allergies and skin troubles since he was a baby (though we’ve almost completely eliminated them now) so this was especially important for him. Chemicals in Bath Water? In the 1990s, the Environmental Protection Agency acknowledged that a person can absorb more chlorine and other contaminants from bath and shower water than even from drinking water polluted with the same substances. Unfortunately, this puts children most at risk, as some children bathe for 45 minutes or more several nights a week. Since children also have a larger surface-area-to-body-weight ratio, they may absorb chemicals more quickly and be more severely affected by them. Children’s tissues, organs and biological systems are still developing, with several stages of rapid growth and development occurring from infancy to adolescence."

Posted by Rodale Institute By Kevin Meehan, owner Turtle Run Farm and Carolina Farm Stewardship Association member Every year, all the local organic farmers meet for the split up of the feather meal truck in Pittsboro, NC, go home and dump the stuff on our fields. One day about 12 years ago, I decided that the feather meal smelled so horrible (and smelled even worse when it rotted) that it and every other bad smelling thing would be forever banned from Turtle Run. It was tough getting the right nutrients until we made a chance discovery about five years ago. We accidentally left an open 50-pound bag of alfalfa pellets under the roof overhang of the barn. That night the rain dripped into the bag and in the morning there was steam rising up from some extremely fragrant alfalfa. We shoveled the hot soggy bag into a tub and later dumped it out into the closest row crop as mulch. When harvest time came around we observed that the part of the bed where we put the hot pellets was more vigorous than the rest of the row. We had been using alfalfa meal for years as a fertilizer by just walking down the row pouring dry pellets out of the bag onto the raised bed. Alfalfa has many beneficial compounds in it and we would often try to fulfill our nitrogen requirement with it, but since it is less than 3% nitrogen we needed lots of expensive bags."

"text": "How to Drain and Clean a Hot Tub Click here to get our FREE weekly hot tub maintenance newsletter!You should drain and clean your hot tub every 3 to 4 months. Depending on how frequently you use the tub, you’ll need to change the water at varying times. This is a relatively simple task even if you don’t have a lot of free time. Think of your spa as a large bath tub. Bath tubs need to be drained and we know why: chemical build-up, body oils, and just general “funk” can accumulate in your hot tub water. Keeping water in your hot tub longer than 3-4 months, regardless of how clear it looks and what the specialty products you add, exposes you to unhealthy and unnecessary amounts of harmful chemicals. The most harmful chemical being USED sanitizers in your water. Whenever chlorine or bromine comes in contact a piece of ammonia or nitrogen, it changes into a stable form of sanitizer that is no longer able to kill bacteria. These used “pieces” of sanitizer are called chloramines and are the source of chemical smell from your water. Removing Biofilms in Your Hot Tub Plumbing Before you drain the hot tub, you must run a line flush product through the tub."

And let’s be straight here, rashes can be uncomfortable and frustrating! Recently there’s been a rise in questions about the symptoms of hot tub Folliculitis, Hot Hand-Foot Syndrome, and how these compare to a less severe chemical sensitivity. I’ll explain the differences in the three, and more importantly, let you know how to prevent them from happening!Chemical Sensitivity Skin irritation caused by chemical sensitivity and Folliculitis are often confused with one another because the symptoms can appear very similar. Hot water can deplete your skin of its natural moisture. Chemicals such as Chlorine or Bromine can also amplify skin dryness. If you’ve been spending a lot of time in the tub lately and noticed that your skin is getting dry, don’t scratch! Scratching dry skin can lead to irritation, including embarrassing redness and bumps. Instead, soothe skin with a natural moisturizing lotion after each hot tub use. Hot Tub Folliculitis Folliculitis can be much more severe than typical chemical irritation."

Citrus fruits has a few defining characteristics, such as the high acidity content on the p H scale. Cherries are fairly low on the scale and therefore not very acidic at all. Some examples of citrus fruits include tangelos, limes, oranges, lemons, rough lemons, and tangelos. Those who have problems with acid reflux will want to avoid eating the above-listed foods as much as possible. If you do in fact have this problem, you will be able to eat cherries because they do not have a high acidic content and therefore will not aggravate the condition.

Most make great snack foods and can stay in your diaper bag or desk drawer for a long time! Dehydrating apples has become my new favorite fall pastime. If you don’t have a food dehydrator, I explain how to make applesauce rolls in the oven in the e Book Healthy Snacks to Go, but often I find dehydrating much simpler. Continue scrolling for other fruits, including strawberries, bananas, and cranberries PLUS a homemade fruit leather video.

"text": "Related Articles Types of Self-Pollinating Fruit Trees What Orange Tree Needs Cross Pollination? Does a Lemon Tree Need to Be Pollinated From Another Lemon Tree? Pear Trees That Do Not Need Cross-Pollinators Gardeners who want to grow fruit trees that produce an edible harvest may have to plant at least two trees of different varieties close to each other so the plants can cross-pollinate. Pollination occurs via wind, birds and beneficial insects. However, some types of fruit trees are self-fruitful and do not need to reproduce with other plants. Citrus Most citrus trees grown indoors or outdoors are self-fruitful, including oranges, grapefruit, kumquats, lemons and limes. However, some mandarin orange varieties produce more fruit with cross-pollination, but those fruits may have more seeds than those that self-pollinate. Plants that grow from seeds of cross-pollinated citrus might not bear fruit. Cherries Sweet cherries all require cross-pollination, except for the “Stella” variety. All sour cherries are self-fruitful."

While some fruit trees grow into statuesque towers, other fruit trees develop into small shrub-like trees with little height and ability to stand erect. The variations come not only with nature’s creations, but with the engineered hybrid fruits. Even with the large selection of fruit, many of the most common fruit fall into just a few types. Pome Fruit Pome fruits are members of the Rosaceae pomoideae family. These fruits have a central core of seeds with a thin, tough outer-membrane that is edible with the fruit. These deciduous fruit trees have a moderate growth rate, thrive in full sun and require several months of cold dormancy for quality fruit production in the following season. The apple tree is the most commonly known pome fruit and is grown in every state in the U. S. Other pome fruit trees include the pear, loquat, hawthorn and the medlar. Stone Fruit Similar to pome fruits, stone fruits have a center core with a thin but tough and edible outer-membrane. The center core of the stone fruit, however, is comprise of one stone-like drupe in the center of the fruit, rather than a series of small seeds."

Wine grapes (latin name: Vitis vinifera) have thick skins, are small, sweet, and contain seeds. There are many different kinds of wine grapes –over a thousand,– but here are a few of the most-commonly planted varieties around the world. Single-Variety Wines and Wine Blends A wine made with one type of grape is a single-variety wine or, varietal wine. A wine made with several different grapes is a blend. Even single-variety wines are not always varietally labeled though. In Europe, wines are traditionally named after the place they originated. For example, a Bordeaux Blend is a blend of several grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and comes from Bordeaux, France. Another familiar example is Chianti (“key-aunt-tee”), a Sangiovese-based blend from Tuscany, Italy. TIP: The term “vintage” refers to the year the grapes were grown."

Fruit trees have been grown for thousands of years, providing delicious and nutritious fruits to cultures from around the world. Apples were first cultivated in Afghanistan, Peaches where grown first in South Eastern Asia and Cherries come from the Mediterranean region of what is now Turkey. Unfortunately, with the expansion of corporate farming, almost 90% of the profits from fruit trees are earned by these large operations leaving the small orchardists to struggle to earn a living. Fortunately, new growing methods have been developed by Tree Plantation that increase the production of fruit bearing branches. Now growers with a small orchard can double their profits growing pears, peaches, apples, plums, apricots and cherry trees. NUT TREES - Nut trees produce on average 100,000 nuts per acre however; nut trees can produce three times that using our high density production methods CITRUS TREES - Planting 84 citrus trees produces approximately 100,000 oranges per acre using alternative growing and pruning methods. The secret to growing highly productive trees is to select the right type of fruit tree for your climate and soil. Applying advanced pruning techniques developed by Tree Plantation in 2008 will increase fruit production three times. Tree Plantation growing methods not only increases fruiting but also saves water, space and lowers operating costs."

Imported to the US from Sweden – a country that has been perfecting vodka for centuries – SVEDKA Vodka is proudly named after its country of origin. The word SVEDKA is a portmanteau of the word ‘Svenska’ (meaning ‘Swedish’) and ‘Vodka’ (derived from the Slavic word ‘voda’). As these two words are combined, SVEDKA is a name as catchy as it is clever – fitting for a brand renowned for its character, quality, and value. As the first brand to introduce a “cheap chic” market positioning, SVEDKA became the one brand to let consumers have it all: a high-quality, premium import with a hip, fun brand image at an affordable price. SVEDKA is made via “continuous distillation” to ensure that ingredients are constantly moving so the winter wheat, yeast and water never stalls or pools.

"text": "\"“Bacteria ferments food that we’ve eaten,\"\" explains Rebekah Gross, M. D., a gastroenterologist at the Joan H. Tisch Center for Women’s Health at NYU Langone Medical Center. \"\" That can happen down in the colon, but some colon bacteria can make its way into the small intestine.\"\" This is called small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. That bacteria then encounters food before it’s done digesting, and it all ferments together, leading to gas. If gas is being produced in the small intestine and colon, it tends to move down through the system and come out as flatulence,” says Gross. You could also have a bacterial imbalance in your gut, especially if you've recently had some sort of illness. “ A lot of people who have the stomach flu or an infection clear it out, but then have a change in composition of flora in the gut and may have more gas than usual for a while,” says Gross. If you have a bacterial imbalance, Gross says certain antibiotics, as well as diet low in fermentable carbohydrates, may help. This is known as a low-FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols) diet. FODMAPs are found in stone fruits like avocados, cherries, and plums; legumes like beans, lentils, and soybeans; and wheat, onions, and garlic, among others."

"text": "Bloating, Flatulence & Gassiness: The Causes and 4-Step Anti-Gas Relief Plan Remember those days when you could eat anything and it didn’t matter? You could stuff anything closely resembling food in your face and never think about it again. For most of us, who are middle-aged, or for women fast approaching menopause, those days are gone forever. Today, this kind of eating is likely to send a friendly “reminder” wafting into the air a few hours later. Occasional bloating, flatulence, gassiness, and indigestion can be uncomfortable – both for you and for others in the room – and if it is happening a lot, it may just be a sign from your body that something needs to change. As we age, our bodies become less efficient at digestion, and this poor digestion leads to an increase in bloating, gassiness and flatulence. For example, the slow down of the gastrointestinal tract’s processes as a woman ages can sometimes result in menopausal indigestion. Aging Means More Bloating, Flatulence and Gassiness There are many other reasons for becoming gassy and bloated such as eating foods that cause gassiness and bloating, not properly combining foods, or gulping air while you’re eating, but the vast majority of gas is produced by bacteria in your gut. 1The whole story of what’s going on is a combination of loss of digestive powers, the bacteria in your gut, and the types of foods you decide to put into your mouth. While it might feel that these changes have occurred quickly, in most people they have happened slowly over time as their body changes and ages."

"text": "Bloating is something many women experience, regardless of whether they’re pregnant. For women experiencing bloating during pregnancy, however, the bloated feeling seems to worsen as the months pass. This bloated feeling is sometimes accompanied by nausea. You may feel like you’ve eaten too much or have excess gas. Causes of Bloating During Pregnancy During pregnancy your levels of progesterone increase. Progesterone is a hormone that relaxes smooth muscle tissue throughout your body, including your gastrointestinal tract. This relaxation slows down your digestive processes, which can lead to bloating and other gas-related issues that cause miserable sensations in your gut, especially after a big meal. As your pregnancy progresses, your growing uterus begins to compete for space with your intestines and stomach, which also makes you feel bloated. To make matters even worse, the muscle-relaxant effect of progesterone also makes it more difficult for you to control the release of gas—which can turn dinner-party attendance into a source of terrible social anxiety. Remedies for Bloating During Pregnancy Because your digestive system is especially fragile early in pregnancy, you will often have feel bloated."

But bloating can also happen when you chow down your meal too quickly or overeat on a regular basis. It also differs for individuals — while some people will always feel bloated after eating a large meal, others can suffer from more serious side effects like swelling of the abdomen, excessive gas or distention. Sure, you can avoid \"\"bloating\"\" food altogether but watching your sodium intake and adding water to your diet also helps, Lee says. \"\" Drinking more water can help you flush the sodium out of your system and bloating will eventually decrease. \"\" According to Health Canada, people should eat at least 1,500 mg of sodium a day and not exceed 2,300 mg.

"text": "Foods That Cause Bloating, Flatulence, and Gasby Dr. Jesse Hanley, MDWhile bloating, burping, and flatulence are normal bodily functions – a result of the breakdown process while digesting food, and/or swallowing air – if gas and bloating and gas pains are becoming embarrassing, or interfering with your peace of mind and/or your daily activities, it’s time to explore solutions. Gas, bloating and flatulence may be a sign of something serious such as gluten intolerance, malabsorption or menopause. For many people, though, it’s simply the result of a combination of things such as the food they eat, a diminished supply of digestive enzymes due to the aging process, vitamin deficiency, and/or poor dietary habits. There are numerous reasons for excessive gas, bloating and flatulence, but diet often plays a crucial role. If you’d like to “clear the air,” temporarily avoiding certain foods known to cause flatulence and bloating can help to identify any dietary causes of gassiness. Once flatulence/gas-producing food sources have been determined and/or eliminated, and an Anti-Flatulence Diet implemented, along with other treatments for gassiness – multi-vitamins, probiotic supplementation, digestive enzymes, and colon cleanings – may still need to be explored. How To Reduce Gas, Bloating and Flatulence The best place to begin is by tracking and, if necessary, altering your diet. For some, the results are satisfying, but often there are underlying problems, as well as simple age-related issues, that cannot be completely resolved through dietary changes. Medicines, menopause, smoking, stress, the amount of air one swallows each day, vitamin deficiency, and gastrointestinal intolerances, conditions, and disease can all play a role in excess gas production.

Certain individuals can tolerate 8 oz. of milk with no problem. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load The Facts Milk-induced flatulence occurs in individuals who lack lactase, an enzyme required for the digestion of lactose in milk. According to the Office of Dietary Supplements, many African-Americans and Asians are deficient in lactase, and a small percentage of Caucasians lack this enzyme. The amount of lactase in the body lessens with age. Significance Flatulence can be a distressing experience, especially if your symptoms include pain and abdominal bloating. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, distention of the abdomen caused by bloating can be a symptom of colon cancer or Chrohn’s disease.

The distinctive nutrient profile of grapes includes high levels of phytochemicals and phenolic compounds that provide well-documented antioxident effects to support cardiovascular health, but the digestive impact of grapes is less established. Current research supports the notion that, while grapes aid healthy digestion for people suffering from certain bowel disorders, the nutritional profile of grapes may also aggravate certain digestive conditions. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Constipation The fiber content of grapes is largely composed of insoluble fiber. Insoluble fiber remains intact as it moves through your intestines, supporting the formation of bulk that produces healthy stools. If you suffer from regular or occasional constipation or bowel impaction, increasing your intake of natural insoluble fiber can ease digestive discomfort and help you produce more regular bowel movements. The clinical center of the National Institutes of Health recommends increasing your daily intake of grapes as a healthy option for increasing your insoluble fiber intake to support digestive regularity due to the high fiber content and relatively low content of undesirable nutrients like fat or cholesterol. Loose Stools Diarrhea and loose stools result when your body fails to properly absorb nutrients and water from your food, causing them to pass quickly through your digestive tract without properly forming. One of the primary health concerns of loose stools is replacement of your body's lost water content. Grapes have a high water content; approximately 70 percent of the weight of grapes comes from water."

"text": "Editorial Information Bloat Bloat is most commonly seen in spring and autumn, when grass growth is at its peak. It is one of the most common causes of death in adult cattle at grass What is bloat? Bloat is simply the build up of gas in the rumen. This gas is produced as part of the normal process of digestion, and is normally lost by belching (eructation). Bloat occurs when this loss of gas is prevented. There are two sorts of bloat. The least common type is gassy bloat, which occurs when the gullet is obstructed (often by foreign objects such as potatoes) or when the animal can't burp (such as with milk fever or tetanus). The second type of bloat is frothy bloat, which happens as the result of a stable foam developing on top of the rumen liquid, which blocks the release of the gas. This is by far the most common form of bloat, and unlike gassy bloat, it is highly seasonal with peaks in the spring and autumn. This is because the foam is formed by breakdown products from rapidly growing forages (particularly legumes such as clover and alfalfa)."

Adjusting your diet to remove or greatly reduce certain “trigger foods” can really make a huge impact; the tricky part however is identifying which foods these are for you individually. Some foods can trigger increases in stomach acids that actually sneak up and out from the stomach, into the esophagus where they cause indigestion and “burning”. This is the cause of acid reflux, heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Foods and meals that are capable of aggravating heartburn symptoms include:fried foodsrefined oils or meals high in low-quality fats (canola, corn, safflower, soybean oils)packaged and processed foods with artificial ingredients, sweeteners, preservatives and flavorstomatoes and citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit (healthy but high in acid)garlic and onionschocolate and coffee (caffeine increases stomach acid)caffeinated products in generalalcoholcommercial dairy products that have been pasteurizedsugary snacks Other common digestive culprits include dairy, grains, beans or legumes, gluten and sugar which cause many people to experience allergies, bloating, constipation and diarrhea. Eggs, seafood seeds and nuts can also cause allergies and sensitives, despite being generally healthy foods. And finally FODMAP foods – a wide range of fermentable carbohydrates found in various fruits, legumes, grains and veggies – are sometimes to blame for stomach pains. Do you feel gassy after eating a salad or certain veggies? Sulfur-containing veggies like broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cabbage have fermentable residues that increase intestinal gas production. Even meat, eggs or fish can be a problem if you aren’t capable of fully digesting them and are sensitive to their metabolic effects."

The general and original usage of the term is less restrictive, and many nuts (in the culinary sense), such as almonds, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, and Brazil nuts, [1] are not nuts in a botanical sense.

Once a staple food of Native Americans and the source of a prized hardwood, American Chestnut trees thrived in the woodlands of the eastern United States. But a fungus essentially wiped them out in the first half of the 20th century. Most chestnuts you find in stores nowadays are imported or cultivated from introduced species. You can visit some chestnuts orchards to harvest your own nuts by gathering the ripe ones off the ground. Wear gloves, because chestnuts grow surrounded by a spiny shell, which begins to open as the fruit matures. The starchy center of the shiny dark-brown nut, called the endosperm, is the edible portion. Chestnut harvest typically takes place in September and October; the nuts are more prevalent in stores in November and December during the Thanksgiving to New Year's holiday season. You might see them fresh still in their spiny armor, or already peeled down to the hard nut layer.

The scientific name is Castanea Dentata, where castanea means chestnut and dentata means toothed. Once an important hardwood timber tree, the American chestnut is highly susceptible to chestnut blight, accidentally introduced into North America on imported Asiatic chestnut trees.

Now American chestnut grows in some protected areas but the largest part of chestnuts in the US are represented by the Chinese species that is immune to the blight. Beer Chestnuts have a great starch profile, they can be used to make a wonderful brew. If you chemically compare them to malted barley, you will find surprising similarities.

The prospect of returns per acre several times that of the traditional corn-beans-wheat rotation fuels this quest. For those that are patient, pay attention to details, and are willing to accept a higher degree of risk, certain hardy nuts might be the answer. To date, large-scale commercial nut production east of the Rocky Mountains has been limited to pecan and eastern black walnut. The pecan industry continues to grow at a slow but steady pace. Unfortunately, the black walnut industry has declined to the point where there is only one commercial processor left in the nation. An attempt was made several decades ago to establish a sweet edible chestnut industry in the Southeast, but the accidental introduction of the oriental chestnut gall wasp destroyed that effort. Various trials on filberts and hardy strains of English walnut over nearly a century have produced some reasonable selections for midwestern conditions, but few growers have tried their commercial production."

Chestnut fruit is round and spiny, with the nut encased inside. Chestnut trees grow three times quicker than oak trees and should start bearing nuts around the fourth year. If you are looking for an easy tree to grow that isn't too large, try your hand at a chestnut tree. Wait in the spring and until all chance of frost is gone before planting your chestnut seedlings. Frosts or freezes can kill young seedlings, so it is best to wait until warmer weather before setting it outside. Select an area in your landscape that receives full sunlight and is large enough to hold the chestnut tree. Chestnut trees can reach 15 feet tall and 15 feet wide."

"text": "\"There are many differences between the horse chestnut and the chestnut tree. ( Image: horse chestnut leaves image by Edsweb from Fotolia.com)The horse chestnut and the chestnut tree are two entirely different trees. Although they both bear the name \"\"chestnut,\"\" they are not relatedl. The horse chestnut is cultivated mainly for its ornamental value; its fruit is inedible. The fruit of the chestnut tree, however, may be eaten. There are other differences between the trees. Leaves The leaves of the horse chestnut are palmately compound--with five leaflets radiating from the center of the stalk--and have fine-toothed margins. They vary in size, from 4 to 10 inches long. Chestnut leaves are single--only one per stem--and are narrow and elliptic in shape. They are 5 to 8 inches long."

Fleshy Simple Fruitsberry An indehiscent fruit derived from a superior ovary with a thin exocarp (skin) and fleshy mesocarp and endocarp, e.g., grape ( Vitis, Vitaceae), tomatoes & eggplant ( Solanum, Solanaceae), bell peppers & chili pepper ( Capsicum, Solanaceae), date ( Phoenix, Arecaceae), avocado ( Persea, Lauraceae), persimmon ( Diospyros, Ebenaceae), guava ( Psidium, Myrtaceae).false berry - berry-like fruits derived from an inferior ovary; the fruit is formed from the ovary plus the hypanthium of the floral tube that surrounds the ovary; also called an epigynous berry, e.g., blueberries & cranberries ( Vaccinium, Ericaceae), currants & gooseberries ( Ribes, Grossulariaceae), bananas ( Musa, Musaceae).pepo - a berry-like fruit with a thick, leathery or hard rind, derived from an interior ovary, e.g., cucumber ( Cucumis ), watermelon & other melons ( Citrullus ), pumpkin & squash ( Cucurbita) - all in the Cucurbitaceae.hesperidium - a septate berry with a thick skin; most of the edible fruit formed by glandular hairs, e.g., citrus fruits: orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit ( Citrus, Rutaceae).drupe A fleshy, 1-seeded fruit with a thin exocarp (skin), usually fleshy mesocarp, and a stony endocarp (the pit or stone), e.g., cherry, peach ( Prunus, Rosaceae).pyrene - a drupe-like fruit with several seeds, each surrounded by a stony endocarp, e.g., holly ( Ilex, Aquifoliaceae) and wild raisin ( Viburnum, Caprifoliaceae). Some texts define pyrene as the seed and stony endocarp of a drupe with 1 or more seeds, however, true drupes have just one seed.drupelet - a small drupe, one segment of an aggregate fruit, such as raspberries and blackberries ( Rubus, Rosaceae).1b. Dry Dehiscent Simple Fruitsfollicle A dry, dehiscent fruit derived from a 1-carpelled ovary that dehisces along one line (suture), e.g., milkweed ( Asclepias, Apocynaceae), peony ( Paeonia, Ranunculaceae).legume A dry, dehiscent fruit derived from a 1-carpelled ovary that dehisces along 2 lines, also called a pod; e.g., green bean ( Phaseolus ), peanuts ( Arachis ), peas ( Pisum ), black locust ( Robinia ), vetch ( Vicia) - all Fabaceae. Exception: an indehiscent pod is found in black medic ( Medicago, Fabaceae).loment A legume, derived form a 1-carpelled ovary, that is contracted between seeds and which separates transversely into 1-seeded segments (articles) at maturity, e.g., sweet vetch ( Hedysarum, Fabaceae), tick-clover ( Desmodium, Fabaceae).silique A dry, dehiscent fruit derived from 2 or more carpels that dehisce along 2 sutures, with the carpel walls (valves) separated by a translucent septum, which is rimmed by a placental replum. The carpel walls are dehiscent, leaving only the persistent septum and replum after seeds are shed; siliques are typically at least twice as long as broad. e.g., mustard ( Brassica ), rockcress ( Arabis) - both Brassicaceae. Siliques are characteristic of the Brassicaceae.silicle A short silique, about as broad as long (some sources say less than twice as long as broad), e.g., shepherd's purse ( Capsella ), peppergrass ( Lepidium) - both Brassicaceae.capsule A dry, dehiscent fruit derived from an ovary with 2 or > carpels (compound ovary). There are many different types of capsules, described according to how they dehisce.acrocidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces through longitudinal slits at the terminal end of the fruit, e.g. bladdernut ( Staphylea, Staphyleaceae).basicidial capsule - a capsule that dehisces through longitudinal slits at the base of the capsule, e.g. Dutchman's pipe ( Aristolochia, Aristolochiaceae).circumscissle capsule (or pyxis) - a capsule that dehisces along the circumference of the fruit, e.g., plantain ( Plantago, Plantaginaceae), Brazil nuts ( Bertholletia, Lecythidaceae).denticidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces apically, forming 5-10 teeth, e.g., chickweed ( Cerastium, Caryophyllaceae).loculicidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces longitudinally through the cavity of the locules, e.g., evening primrose ( Epilobium, Onagraceae), most orchids (Orchidaceae), horse chestnut ( Aesculus, Sapindaceae), crepe myrtle ( Lagerstroemia, Lythraceae).operculate capsule - a capsule that dehisces through pores that are covered by a flap or lid, called an operculum, e.g., poppy ( Papaver, Papaveraceae).poricidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces through open pores, e.g., Venus's looking-glass ( Triodanis, Campanulaceae).septicidal capsule - a capsule that dehisces longitudinally through the fused sides (septa) of the carpels, e.g., lily ( Lilium, Liliaceae), willow ( Salix, Salicaceae), cotton ( Gossypium, Malvaceae).valvular capsule - a capsule that dehisces into segments (valves) that separate from the side walls (septa) of the carpels; also called a septifragal capsule, e.g. morning glory ( Ipomaea, Convolvulaceae).1c."

Drying is a very well-known way to preserve fruit when there is no refrigerator. Dried fruit is mostly used in baking mixes, breakfast cereals and making cake.

The American chestnut tree once dominated forests in the Eastern United States, but a blight of Asian fungus destroyed 3.5 billion trees by 1940. Today, several groups are working to restore the tree to its former glory. Chestnut trees grow all over the world; the wood is resistant to rot and often used for furniture. American Chestnut The American chestnut (Castanea dentata) has smooth twigs and grows up to 115 feet. The leaves, which have only a few short hairs, are 5 to 10 inches long. The nuts from this tree are sweeter than other varieties. This tree is fast-growing and grows best in zones 5 to 9. For a good harvest of nuts, plant several trees to ensure pollination. These trees lose their leaves in winter and cannot survive if temperatures go below 33 degrees F. Blight-resistant hybrids are your best bet, but you can buy the native tree, which is not resistant to blights."

Armstrong 15 March 2009A nut may be defined as a one-seeded fruit with a hard pericarp (ripened ovary wall). One or several nuts may sit in a cup-shaped structure called an involucre. In oaks ( Quercus) the involucre is composed of small scales and the entire structure (involucre plus nut) is called an acorn. In chestnuts ( Castanea) and beech ( Fagus) the involucre is spiny, while in filberts and hazelnuts ( Corylus ), the involucre is leafy or tubular, depending on the exact species. This is a simplified classification of dry fruit types that follows most general botany textbooks and plant identification manuals. There are many fruits that don't exactly fit the nut or drupe categories. For an in-depth study of these fruit types, please refer to the A Systematic Treatment of Fruit Types by Richard Spjut (Memoirs of New York Botanic Garden, Volume 70, 1994). This scholarly article is based on extensive research of classical fruit nomenclature dating back to the 18th century. Unfortunately it does not use the term \"\"nut\"\" as a distinct fruit type.

"text": "Cooks and grocers define nuts as anything with edible kernels and hard shells. This includes true nuts like chestnuts and acorns, but also things that botanists would class as seeds, like Brazil nuts, or legumes, like peanuts. Nuts are usually high in fat and protein, and people throughout the world eat them as snacks or incorporate them into both sweet and savory dishes. Many nuts can be eaten raw but roasting them helps intensify their flavor. Nuts are usually harvested in the fall, and it's best to buy unprocessed nuts then. Many unshelled nuts can be kept for up to a year in a cool place, but shelled nuts, especially those that have been cut or roasted, are more prone to rancidity and should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer in an airtight container. Substitutes: Grape-nuts cereal OR dried fruit OR granola OR rolled oats (toast them first) OR chocolate chips (in sweet dishes)Varieties:acorn Notes: These nuts come from oak trees, and they were once an important food for Native Americans. Before they can be eaten, most acorns need to be treated to remove the bitter tannins in them. To do this, boil whole shelled acorns in water, replacing the water with fresh boiling water whenever it turns light brown. Keep doing this for about two hours, until the water no longer changes color."

Chestnut burrs (fruits) contain the chestnut seeds or nuts that we love to eat. Chestnut blight is a fungus from Asia that spread throughout the eastern U. S. one hundred years ago, killing most wild chestnut trees in its wake. American chestnuts are smaller-sized than Asian and European species, but many consider them the best eating. Growing nut trees is a long term proposition. They take up lots of space, but have so many uses, not the least of which is yielding edible nuts. There's no more rewarding a nut to grow than the chestnut. Many have heard the story of the American chestnut. The American chestnut ( Castanea dentata) was once the queen of the eastern forest. This majestic tree grew from Maine to Georgia and across the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River and Great Lakes."

Chickenpox often starts without the classic rash, with a fever, headache, sore throat, or stomachache. These symptoms may last for a few days, with the fever in the 101°–102°F (38.3°–38.8°C) range. The red, itchy skin rash usually starts on the abdomen or back and face, then spreads to almost everywhere else on the body (including the scalp, mouth, arms, legs, and genitals). The rash begins as many small red bumps that look like pimples or insect bites."

Cohen directs the medical virology section of the clinical infectious diseases laboratory at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in Bethesda, Md. His research focuses on the molecular genetics of human herpes viruses, among them the varicella -zoster virus that causes chickenpox (varicella) in children and that later in life can reactivate to cause shingles (zoster). Scientists are studying this phenomenon of reactivation in hopes of developing methods to prevent it. Dr. Jeffrey Cohen Overviews Shingles Reporter's File Questions for Your Doctor Clinical Trials5 Things to Know Q: What is varicella-zoster virus, and how does it make people sick? A: The varicella-zoster virus has been around for thousands of years. It is the virus that causes chickenpox and, later in life, can cause shingles. Varicella-zoster is highly infectious, entering through the respiratory tract and spreading throughout the body. Pre-vaccine, just about everyone born and raised in the United States was infected during childhood and developed the chickenpox rash as well as the fever associated with it. The virus also infects the nervous system, entering clusters of nerve cells called ganglia that are located along the spinal cord and in the head. After a child recovers from chickenpox, the virus remains in a dormant state in these cells. Later in life, the virus can reactivate, causing shingles, which is a very different illness than chickenpox."

Chickenpox can be spread very easily to others from 1 to 2 days before blisters appear until all the blisters have crusted over. You may get chickenpox: From touching the fluids from a chickenpox blister If someone with the disease coughs or sneezes near you Most cases of chickenpox occur in children younger than age 10. The disease is most often mild, although serious complications may occur. Adults and older children get sicker than younger children in most cases. Children whose mothers have had chickenpox or have received the chickenpox vaccine are not very likely to catch it before they are 1 year old. If they do catch chickenpox, they often have mild cases. This is because antibodies from their mothers' blood help protect them."

It causes a blister-like rash, itching, tiredness, and fever. Chickenpox used to be very common in the United States. CDC recommends two doses of chickenpox vaccine for children, adolescents, and adults. Children should receive two doses of the vaccine—the first dose at 12 through 15 months old and a second dose at 4 through 6 years old. Who Needs Chickenpox Vaccine Children under age 13 years should get two doses First dose at age 12 through 15 months Second dose at age 4 through 6 years The second dose may be given at an earlier age if it is given at least 3 months after the first dose. People 13 years of age and older who have never had chickenpox or received chickenpox vaccine should get two doses, at least 28 days apart. Chickenpox vaccination is especially important for—Healthcare professionals People who care for or are around others with weakened immune systems Teachers Child care workers Residents and staff in nursing homes and residential settings College students Inmates and staff of correctional institutions Military personnel Non-pregnant women of child-bearing age Adolescents and adults living with children International travelers To check if you are protected from chickenpox, see Immunity (Protection) Against Chickenpox.

Children younger than age 15 are most likely to get it, but older children and adults can become infected as well. Chickenpox (sometimes spelled chicken pox) is highly contagious and can be spread by contact with the affected areas, or by an infected person sneezing or coughing on an uninfected, unvaccinated person. Before the chickenpox vaccine was introduced in the United States in 1995, 3 million people got the disease every year, according to the American Academy of Family Physicians. Between 2000 and 2010, chickenpox cases have dropped by nearly 80 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Symptoms & causes Chickenpox, or varicella, is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is related to the herpes virus. The infection has three stages. It starts out with the appearance of little, itchy bumps. Those bumps turn into blisters filled with fluid."

Fortunately, since the introduction of the vaccine in 1995, hospitalizations have declined by nearly 90%, and there have been few fatal cases of chickenpox. Adults have the greatest risk for dying from chickenpox, with infants having the next highest risk. Males (both boys and men) have a higher risk for a severe case of chickenpox than females. Children who catch chickenpox from family members are likely to have a more severe case than if they caught it outside the home. The older the child, the higher the risk for a more severe case. But even in such circumstances, chickenpox is rarely serious in children. Other factors put individuals at specifically higher risk for complications of chickenpox.

This reduces the risk of chickenpox spreading to vulnerable people. Read more about who should have the chickenpox vaccine. Why isn't the chickenpox vaccination part of the routine childhood immunisation schedule? There's a worry that introducing chickenpox vaccination for all children could increase the risk of chickenpox and shingles in adults. While chickenpox during childhood is unpleasant, the vast majority of children recover quickly and easily. In adults, chickenpox is more severe and the risk of complications increases with age. If a childhood chickenpox vaccination programme was introduced, people would not catch chickenpox as children because the infection would no longer circulate in areas where the majority of children had been vaccinated."

If you just want them as pets or for meat or eggs then they are poultry. Shorty · 1 decade ago2 0 Comment Chickens are poultry, which is a form of small livestock. Livestock usually means to sell, but can include animals that produce some type of food, whether it is milk, eggs, whatever. However, chances are, if your community doesn't allow livestock, it means no chickens, in addition to goats, cows, etc, etc. You can still check with your community guidlines to be sure though."

Livestock (singular or plural) is any domesticated mammal intentionally reared in an agricultural setting for the purposes of profit or subsistence, whether for food, fiber, dairy, draft, breeding, sport purposes, or other product or labor. As such, livestock includes animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, and fur -bearing animals, but does not include farmed birds ( turkeys, chickens, pigeons, geese ), fish, shellfish, amphibians ( frogs ), and reptiles. It also does not include animals kept as pets. However, the term is not rigorously applied in all contexts and inclusion of poultry as livestock is not uncommon. And in many cases ratites ( emus, ostriches, rheas) are considered as livestock when raised in an agricultural setting, even when poultry are not counted (IRS). Raising animals ( animal husbandry) is an important component of modern agriculture. It has been practiced in many societies, since the transition to farming from hunter-gather lifestyles. The ability to raise livestock has enabled the development of human societies and cultures, fostered commerce and international trade, and provided a steady source of food, labor, and other products for people. However, in recent years there has been a greater awareness of the need to address environmental concerns from the impact of livestock and their rearing as well as ethical concerns regarding the treatment of livestock."

Photograph: Alamy Beef’s environmental impact dwarfs that of other meat including chicken and pork, new research reveals, with one expert saying that eating less red meat would be a better way for people to cut carbon emissions than giving up their cars. The heavy impact on the environment of meat production was known but the research shows a new scale and scope of damage, particularly for beef. The popular red meat requires 28 times more land to produce than pork or chicken, 11 times more water and results in five times more climate-warming emissions. When compared to staples like potatoes, wheat, and rice, the impact of beef per calorie is even more extreme, requiring 160 times more land and producing 11 times more greenhouse gases. Agriculture is a significant driver of global warming and causes 15% of all emissions, half of which are from livestock. Furthermore, the huge amounts of grain and water needed to raise cattle is a concern to experts worried about feeding an extra 2 billion people by 2050. But previous calls for people to eat less meat in order to help the environment, or preserve grain stocks, have been highly controversial. “The big story is just how dramatically impactful beef is compared to all the others,” said Prof Gidon Eshel, at Bard College in New York state and who led the research on beef’s impact. He said cutting subsidies for meat production would be the least controversial way to reduce its consumption."

Whittaker and Fred Houdlette. [ 6] The first type was the silver-laced, which was included in the American Standard of Perfection in 1883; it was taken to Britain at about the same time. [ 2]: 311 The origin of the breed is still somewhat a mystery, however silver spangled Hamburgs and dark Brahmas are considered to be important breeds in the initial crosses to developing the Wyandotte. [ 7] The Hamburg was used for the rose comb and the Brahma for the color pattern."

"text": "Are Chickens Livestock or Pets? Are chickens livestock or pets? Both! Chickens may be considered pets orlivestock depending upon the use to which the chickens are put. According to the dictionary, a pet is “a domesticated animal kept for pleasure rather than utility.” In contrast, livestock are “animals kept or raised for use or pleasure;especially: farm animals kept for use or profit” (1). In Ohio “livestock” is a statutory definition that confers special treatment upon the animal so labeled. Producers, exhibitors and breeders of animals designated livestock are eligible for livestock exhibition subsidies. In addition, the livestock designation also requires special permits for operators of concentrated animal feeding facilities and requires licensure of dealers and brokers (2). A producer, exhibitor, breeder, dealer or broker is a person who makes his living off of his animals."

The options are dazzling. Chicken breeds differ in many ways, such as productivity, appearance, temperament, etc. There is no “best” chicken breed, but after reading this, I’m sure you’ll find that certain ones will be better for your particular needs. This guide to choosing chicken breeds will help you sort through the options. Two popular breeds for the backyard flock: Barred Plymouth Rock hen on the left, and Easter Egger rooster on the right. Guide to Choosing Chicken Breeds Notice I said “breeds” and not “breed”. That’s because many people, even those with small backyard flocks, keep multiple breeds. If you aren’t going to breed them, you’ll probably be happier with a mixed flock, as explained in 4 Benefits of a Mixed Flock of Backyard Chickens. However, if you are going to breed them, consider the first item carefully."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The environmental impact of meat production varies because of the wide variety of agricultural practices employed around the world. All agricultural practices have been found to have a variety of effects on the environment. Some of the environmental effects that have been associated with meat production are pollution through fossil fuel usage, animal methane, effluent waste, and water and land consumption. Meat is obtained through a variety of methods, including organic farming, free range farming, intensive livestock production, subsistence agriculture, hunting, and fishing. The 2006 report Livestock's Long Shadow, released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, states that \"\"the livestock sector is a major stressor on many ecosystems and on the planet as a whole. Globally it is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gases (GHG) and one of the leading causal factors in the loss of biodiversity, while in developed and emerging countries it is perhaps the leading source of water pollution .\"\" [ 1] Removing all U. S. agricultural animals would reduce U. S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2.6%. [ 2] (In this and much other FAO usage, but not always elsewhere, poultry are included as \"\"livestock\"\".) A 2017 study published in the journal Carbon Balance and Management found animal agriculture's global methane emissions are 11% higher than previous estimates based on data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. [ 3] Some fraction of these effects is assignable to non-meat components of the livestock sector such as the wool, egg and dairy industries, and to the livestock used for tillage."

Those who already have heart problems are at an even greater risk of dying from the drug, which parallels Vioxx that had killed 60,000 people by the time it was removed from the market in 2004Antibiotics are indiscriminate bactericides, meaning they kill ALL bacteria, both good and bad, and many of the immediate and long-term side effects are related to this fact, as disrupting your gut flora has a detrimental effect on your overall immune system The greatest danger posed by antibiotics does not come from prescribed courses of antibiotics, but rather from the food you eat. The prevalence of antibiotics found in both conventionally-grown meats and vegetables has the potential to throw off, or contribute to intestinal imbalance and subsequent immune system dysfunction It’s estimated that the non-therapeutic use of antibiotics in livestock accounts for 70 percent of the total antibiotic use in the US, and when all agricultural uses are considered, the share could be as high as 84 percent On December 22, 2011, the US FDA posted a notice in the Federal Register that it was effectively reneging on its plan to reduce the use of antibiotics in agricultural animal feed. Instead, the agency issued voluntary guidelines in April of this year, suggesting that livestock should only be treated with antibiotics to cure illness, not to enable growth By Dr. Mercola Azithromycin (Zithromax) is a macrolide antibiotic used in the treatment of bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. It's known for having unpleasant side effects such as skin rashes, itching, allergic or anaphylactic reactions, and severe, watery diarrhea. But it's also associated with more severe side effects, such as myopathy―muscle and tendon pain, weakness and cramping―when taken in combination with statins i. And previous research has shown that use of any type of antibiotic increases the risk of breast cancer in women ii. Most recently, research published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that azithromycin increases your chances of dying from a cardiovascular event by a whopping 250 percent within the first five days of usage, compared to those who took amoxicillin iii. This is nearly the same as that for Vioxx, which killed 60,000 people and was voluntarily removed from the market nearly eight years ago. When researchers looked at people who already had heart problems, their risk of dying while on this drug were even higher. The risk of cardiovascular death was also significantly greater with azithromycin than with ciprofloxacin, while levofloxacin and azithromycin had comparable risks of cardiovascular death."

[ 1]Intensive farming refers to animal husbandry, the keeping of livestock such as cattle, poultry, and fish at higher stocking densities than is usually the case with other forms of animal agriculture—a practice typical in industrial farming by agribusinesses. [ 2] [3] [4] [5] [6] The main products of this industry are meat, milk and eggs for human consumption. [ 7] There are issues regarding whether factory farming is sustainable or ethical.

Water makes up 80% of the blood, regulates body temperature and is vital for organ functions such as digestion, waste removal and the absorption of nutrients. Understanding daily livestock watering needs is key when designing a livestock watering system. The daily water requirement of livestock varies significantly among animal species. The animal's size and growth stage will have a strong influence on daily water intake. Consumption rates can be affected by environmental and management factors. Air temperature, relative humidity and the level of animal exertion or production level are examples of these factors. The quality of the water, which includes temperature, salinity and impurities affecting taste and odour, will also have an effect. The water content of the animal's diet will influence its drinking habits."

It is not just—or even mainly—that some will not eat meat on moral grounds. Rather, greens say, meat has a big environmental hoofprint. It takes much more grain, land and water to fatten an animal to produce a pound of meat than it does to grow the same number of calories in the form of grain that is eaten directly (as bread, say). Animals also belch and fart forth remarkable quantities of greenhouse gases. The logical conclusion was drawn by Rajendra Pachauri, the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, who said “eat less meat; you’ll be healthier and so will the planet. ”New research in the current (special) edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS ) shows that raising livestock does indeed chew up a disproportionately large share of the world’s basic resources.

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 9:25Definition of Heritage Chicken Purpose: Chickens have been a part of the American diet since the arrival of the Spanish explorers. Since that time, different breeds have been developed to provide meat, eggs, and pleasure. The American Poultry Association began defining breeds in 1873 and publishing the definitions in the Standard of Perfection. These Standard breeds were well adapted to outdoor production in various climatic regions. They were hearty, long-lived, and reproductively vital birds that provided an important source of protein to the growing population of the country until the mid-20th century. With the industrialization of chickens many breeds were sidelined in preference for a few rapidly growing hybrids. The Livestock Conservancy now lists over three-dozen breeds of chickens in danger of extinction. Extinction of a breed would mean the irrevocable loss of the genetic resources and options it embodies. Therefore, to draw attention to these endangered breeds, to support their long-term conservation, to support efforts to recover these breeds to historic levels of productivity, and to re-introduce these culinary and cultural treasures to the marketplace, The Livestock Conservancy is defining Heritage Chicken."

"text": "PHOTO: Karen Jackson/Flickrby Lesa Wilke July 19, 2016Many chicken keepers are avid gardeners, and when our gardens are producing, we want to share the abundance with our feathered friends by feeding them the excess. But then we stop and wonder whether the plants are really good for them—or might they be health hazards? Are all the parts of the plants good for poultry or should some parts be avoided? In the not-so-distant past, feeding the flock from the garden was taken for granted. But today, most chicken owners feed their flocks commercially mixed and bagged feed. These premixed and balanced rations are a fairly recent development, and prior to about 100 years ago, they didn’t exist. Back then, chickens lived off of what they could forage from the farmyard, and that typically included garden plants. Supplementing the flocks’ diet with garden greens was a centuries-old practice, and the greens that are good for them were well understood. In our era, we may need to relearn which greens make good chicken food, but the good news is that they haven’t really changed. Thankfully, there are only a few garden plants that should not be fed to chickens or that should be fed in moderation."

Free-range eggs are a popular choice for many consumers. They taste delicious, have more colour, and the consumer knows that the chickens producing them live happy lives. Free-range eggs from small producer like yourself can be even better, because they are most likely going to be fresher. There is no doubt that there is a market out there for your eggs, but if you are going to sell your eggs with the idea of making a profit, you’ll want to run your egg production like a business. Before you go out and throw yourself into marketing your new egg business, do your research to ensure that you set it up to be as easy, and as profitable, as possible. Where to sell your eggs Do some research into your local area to find out where you could sell your eggs. Go to local farmer’s markets, general markets, and regular car boot sales and see if there is an opportunity for a new egg seller there (while competition is healthy, these markets are small, so you wouldn’t want to be competing with a number of others selling eggs if there are other opportunities to sell available). You may simply want to sell from your home via word of mouth, and if you are going with this approach, consider how you will get word out. Consider the logistics: Once you have figured out where you will sell your eggs, you’ll need to consider the logistics of how you will do this."

Common names for this species are: ceci bean, India pea, Bengal gram, or Egyptian pea. The garbanzo bean or chickpea is one of the world’s earliest crops. It was cultivated as far back as the ancient times by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. The etymology of “chickpea” comes from the Latin word “cicer.” “ Cicer” evolved into the Anglo-French “chiche,” then to the English “chich.” From “chich” it evolved into “chich pea,” and then to its modern form – “chickpea."

As a gluten-free flour, it is often used in combination with other flours to make gluten-free baked goods. If in the middle of a recipe you find yourself out of this ingredient, consider the function of the flour when looking for a substitute. As a Flour Component Gluten-free recipes for baked goods rely on a blend of flours, because not all gluten-free flours behave the same way. With its heaviness and pronounced flavor, garbanzo bean flour should not make up more than 25 percent of the total flour in a recipe for bread leavened with yeast or sourdough. To substitute for the portion of flour calling for garbanzo bean flour, you can use whole wheat flour cup for cup, because both flours are considered heavy. For a high-protein, gluten-free alternative, try soy flour, buckwheat flour or millet flour, or a nut flour such as hazelnut or almond meal.

The reason that counting calories is so important is the education you get when it comes to knowing what is in the foods you eat. It can be very helpful to look at a side-by-side comparison of different foods. By seeing both foods compared, you can make wise choices on what you eat.

"text": "Surajit Bose Updated Feb 10, 2017Chickpeas come in several varieties. The one commonly found in the US, also known as garbanzo bean, is called Kabuli Chana (“chana from Kabul”) or safed chana (“white chana”) in India. This is a large yellowish-white legume used to make chhole/chana masala. Another chickpea, indigenous to India, is called kala chana (“black chana”), desi chana (“Indian chana”), or simply chana. The English name for this variety of chickpea is Bengal gram. Occasionally, you’ll find it referred to as just gram, without qualification. Bengal gram has the same shape as the garbanzo bean but is somewhat smaller and, as the name suggests, rust-brown to black in color. When this specific chickpea is hulled and split, the resulting yellow split lentil is called chana dal. A green chickpea is also common in Maharashtra (a state in western India, where Bombay/Mumbai is located). This chickpea is called harbara."

"text": "\"What Are Garbanzo Beans Good For?73Disponible en Español Garbanzo Bean Goodness Botanical name: Cicer arietinum It's been around 7,000 years since garbanzo beans (a.k.a. chickpeas) appeared in Middle Eastern regions, but they weren't cultivated until about 3,000 BC. By the 16th century, Spanish explorers had spread the love of this natural food's nutty, buttery taste and slightly grainy texture beyond Rome and Greece. Today, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Ethiopia, and Mexico are the highest producers, as well as some of the largest consumers, of garbanzo beans. There are two garbanzo bean varieties: the large, round, cream-colored \"\"kabuli-type\"\" usually found in canned chickpeas and salad bars, and the smaller, darker and less uniform \"\"desi-type.\"\" Both get high marks for versatility, but nutritionally, the darker the better. To cook your own garbanzo beans, rinse them first, examine, and pre-soak them in a large saucepan with three times the water per cup of beans. Boil for two minutes, remove from heat, cover, and allow to stand for four hours. This reduces the oligosaccharides and the chances for flatulence problems when they're eaten. Whether it's affection that elicits so many monikers, like Bengal grams and Egyptian peas, or an indication of the many cultures with an appreciation for this humble bean, whatever you call them, they're a legume and as such, three cups per week are recommended by the USDA for even more advantageous nutrition."

In part, that's because there are more than 18,000 species of legume plants, growing on every continent save Antarctica, a vast number of which yield the edible seeds we know as pulses and beans. \"\" Seeds are our most durable and concentrated foods,\"\" Harold Mc Gee writes in On Food and Cooking. \"\" In fact,\"\" he adds, \"\"seeds gave early humans both the nourishment and the inspiration to begin to shape the natural world to their own needs...ten thousand turbulent years of civilization have unfolded from the seed's pale repose.\"\" And we don't just thrive on beans ourselves—we use them to feed our livestock, and even to fuel our machines. In many ways, beans make our world go 'round. Much of the popularity and proliferation of legumes is due to their ease of growth (legumes are self-pollinating) and tolerance to drought, which keep prices steady and low. Add their widely touted health benefits, a nitrogen-fixing growth cycle, and capacity for long-term storage, and you have something of a superfood. With their diverse range of flavors and applications, it's no surprise that beans have become cooking staples in almost every cuisine in the world.

"text": "Photo Stock-Israel/Stockbyte/Getty Images10 mins Prep: 10 mins, Cook: 0 mins Yield: 4 Servings (77)By Saad Fayed Updated 10/11/17Share Pin Email Traditional hummus recipes include tahini (sesame paste) but it's possible to substitute it with sesame oil instead. Some people find tahini to have too strong of a flavor and children, especially, sometimes dislike the subtle bitter undertones of it. But using sesame oil is a good alternative for giving hummus its creamy texture without the unwanted tahini. What Is Hummus? Hummus (the Arabic word for chickpea) is a dip or spread that is made from chickpeas along with lemon juice, spices and, often, tahini. If you see a hummus recipe that calls for garbanzo beans, it's only that garbanzo is the Spanish translation of chickpea. In Italian they're called cece beans. Hummus is one of the oldest foods dating back to ancient Egypt and we know that chickpeas were used quite frequently over 7,000 years ago. Serving Hummus as an Appetizer Hummus makes a delicious and much healthier alternative to chips and creamy dip. Serve your family's favorite type of hummus or a large variety of hummus flavors with hot pita bread wedges, homemade crispy pita chips and fresh vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, broccoli and cauliflower."

Because they are low in saturated fat and are cholesterol-free, you can regularly include garbanzo beans as heart-healthy meat substitutes. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Meet Your Protein Needs Each cup of garbanzo beans provides 12 grams of protein, or 24 percent of the daily value based on a 2,000-calorie diet. Protein is an essential nutrient for building muscles, repairing body tissues and supporting digestion and immune functions. Meat, poultry and fish are rich in protein, containing about 22 to 27 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving. Soy products and lentils, split peas and beans are the best vegetarian sources of protein. Combine Your Proteins Proteins in food and in your body consist of building blocks called amino acids. Protein from soy products and animal-derived foods, such as meat and dairy products, are complete because they contain each of the amino acids that you need to get from the diet. The protein in chickpeas is incomplete because it does not contain each of the amino acids, but you can meet your needs through the principle of protein combining."

Kala Chana Nutritional Facts Chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans, belong to the legume family, which includes a variety of beans, peanuts, soybeans and lentils. Opting for legumes over foods high in saturated fat might lower your risk of heart disease, according to the Linus Pauling Institute. Chickpeas also offer specific health benefits, and consuming them regularly boosts your intake of a few key nutrients. Protein Eating chickpeas provides you with a vegetarian-friendly source of protein, with each cup of cooked garbanzo beans containing 15 grams. Your body breaks down this protein into amino acids, and then uses them to maintain the health of your body's tissues. Chickpeas are a source of incomplete protein, which means they do not contain every amino acid you need for good health. Make sure you combine them with other sources of protein, such as nuts, whole grains, dairy, eggs or meat to prevent an amino acid deficiency. Fiber Opt for chickpeas as a rich source of dietary fiber. Foods rich in fiber help keep your colon healthy -- fiber helps soften stool to fight constipation, according to the Linus Pauling Institute."

Here are few reasons you may want to get more chickpeas into your diet. Blood Sugar Control Chickpeas are a boon for those who struggle with blood sugar spikes and falls. According to Medical News Today, studies have shown that the high fiber levels present in chickpeas may help regulate blood sugar for Type 1 diabetics. SFGate explains further. Because fiber slows down digestion, sugar crosses from the digestive tract to the bloodstream at a more gradual rate.

Chickpeas, otherwise known as garbanzo beans, are a type of legume that is full of protein, fiber, and complex carbohydrates. There are two varieties of chickpeas: the \"\"blond\"\" variety which is sold mostly in the Middle East and North America and the black chickpeas (also called Desi) found in India, Pakistan, and Ethiopia. Chickpeas are available all year long and can be purchased dried or canned, or you can purchase chickpea flour (besan), which is often used in Indian curries as thickener—this type of flour has half the carbohydrates of wheat flour and is fiber rich. Combining pureed chickpeas with tahini yields hummus. Today, there are so many varieties of hummus ranging in color, flavor, and calories. Using more tahini produces hummus that is lower in carbohydrates and higher in calories. Use hummus to dip vegetables for a protein and fiber-full snack, or swap high fat condiments (like mayonnaise) for hummus when making tuna or chicken salad.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Proteins are digested into amino acids and then absorbed into the body. They can be taken apart and put back together in different ways to make the different proteins your body needs. Your body can make amino acids on its own, but others, considered essential amino acids, must come from the food you eat. For nutritional purposes, amino acids are divided into three categories: Nonessential: Your body can produce these in sufficient amounts to meet the body’s needs. Essential: Your body can’t produce these, so you need to get them from foods. Semi-essential: These amino acids are not essential under normal circumstances, but may be in certain situations. Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid because it’s typically needed for children’s growth, but it is nonessential for healthy adults. Your body can also make arginine in addition to getting it from food sources, so deficiencies are rare."

Kala Chana Nutritional Facts\"\"Nutrition for Roasted, Unsalted Chick Peas\"\"Chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, belong to the legume family, which also includes dried beans, lentils and split peas. Legumes are some of the best food sources of fiber available. To boost fiber in your diet, you can incorporate chickpeas into a wide variety of main dishes, sides dishes and snacks. Fiber Fiber is found naturally in plant foods such as legumes, grains, vegetables and fruit. Legumes such as chickpeas contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in the fluids found in your intestinal tract and forms a gel-like substance that, among other things, traps dietary cholesterol to help move it out of your body before it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. Insoluble fiber aids the digestive process by helping to move food through your digestive tract and out of your body at a normal or accelerated rate. Chickpeas You’ll find chickpeas in the dried or canned bean section of your supermarket. Dried chickpeas must be soaked and simmered before you eat them or incorporate them into other dishes."

Soaking beans for many hours before cooking them produces a lot of scum which is course, is rinsed and drained away when the soaking is complete. What is all that scum anyway? Anti-nutrients, that’s what! And those anti-nutrients such as phytic acid, lectins, and enzyme inhibitors are going to be in your gut causing you gas, heartburn, reflux and whatever other digestive ills beset you when you eat something that isn’t particularly digestible unless you soak your beans before cooking them. Traditional cultures took great care to prepare their legumes with a long soak before cooking to enhance digestibility and nutrient absorption. I love Mexican food but really try to avoid Mexican restaurants for this reason .. they don’t soak their beans before cooking them! After a meal at a Mexican restaurant, I will typically feel very bloated where eating the same meal prepared at home where I soaked the beans properly before cooking results in no digestive upset whatsoever. Take the Soaked Beans Challenge!If you think unsoaked beans don’t cause you any trouble .. take this challenge. Soak beans next time before cooking and notice the difference in your stomach after eating."

According to the Penguin Companion to Food, bean is a “term loosely applied to any legume whose seeds or pods are eaten, not classed separately as a pea or lentil.” Beans traditionally were in the genus Phaseolus, but now some of the species, including the black-eyed pea, are in the genus Vigna. Peas are in the genus Pisum.

"text": "The old children’s rhyme was right: beans ARE good for your heart. So are lentils and other nutritious legumes, which are great sources of vegetarian protein and high-quality carbohydrates. ( The other part of that rhyme was right, too! ) Beans, lentils and other nutritious legumes are the best sources of lean vegetarian protein. Legumes are made up of high-quality carbohydrates that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They tend to be notably high in soluble fiber, folate, magnesium, iron, and potassium. These heart-healthy nutrients help lower cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, and they can reduce your risk of coronary artery disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Soluble fiber, in particular, keeps you feeling fuller for longer, so it’s a good tool for weight loss. Many studies suggest that folate can improve mood and memory. Magnesium prevents migraine headaches and works with potassium to help lower high blood pressure."

It is a high protein legume, which is consumed as a staple food in the Middle East and South Asian countries. To give a slight description of the plant of these beans, it grows about 30 to 60 cm in height and consists of feathery leaves. The garbanzo beans are one of those types of beans that are held in a seed pod which includes two peas in it. They are green in color when they are immature, which later turn into yellow, these are the ones used in recipes. The plants for these beans are grown in tropical or subtropical climates, but can be cultivated in temperate surrounding as well. It is known to be one of the healthiest legumes found in nature and thus, is a must in our diet. Chickpeas are a roundish, beige to light green members of the legume family grown primarily in part of West Asia, India, and in the Mediterranean.

Following many batches of experimenting I’ve switched sides and now favor salting before. Try to prevent the beans from foaming, as this can lead to air pockets in the beans which can translate into a dry texture when done. If you see any foaming, skim the surface of the water with a metal spoon to remove the foam, and reduce your heat a bit. The following steps assume you’re cooking the beans on a stovetop.

The seeds of pulse crops are important in human nutrition. They are typically made up of 20-25% protein and 40-50% starch; they are also rich in dietary fibre and usually have only small amounts of oil. The protein of pulse seeds is high in the amino acids lysine and methionine, making pulses nutritionally complementary to cereals, which are deficient in these two essential amino acids. Pulses are the main source of protein in the diet of vegetarians, and feature prominently in the traditional cuisine of virtually every region of the globe. Seeds and pods of many pulse crops are also used as fresh vegetables when the seeds are still tender. Pulses are mainly consumed as human food, but some crops such as field pea and faba bean are also used in animal feeds as a source of protein and starch. Pulses are usually consumed in the form of soup or stew, cooked directly from the whole or split dry seeds, or in canned form in some countries.

Fiber Fiber is found naturally in plant foods such as legumes, grains, vegetables and fruit. Legumes such as chickpeas contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in the fluids found in your intestinal tract and forms a gel-like substance that, among other things, traps dietary cholesterol to help move it out of your body before it can be absorbed into your bloodstream. Insoluble fiber aids the digestive process by helping to move food through your digestive tract and out of your body at a normal or accelerated rate.

These Bacteria are called nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Plants need nitrogen to make amino acids which make proteins which make the cells which is important for growth, but plants cannot use the nitrogen in the air (they are unable to). So they absorb nitrate ions (NO3) from the soil as a source of nitrogen. If you read about the nitrogen cycle (a very simple concept) you will realise there is nitrogen fixing bacteria present in the soil.

Chickpeas are also called garbanzo beans in Spanish cooking and Ceci beans in Italian. Chickpea History The chickpea originated in the Middle East about 7500 years ago. It was first cultivated about 3000 BC and was popular among the ancient Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians. It was not until the 16th century that the chickpea was brought to other parts of the world by Spanish explorers. Today, chickpeas are popular among all parts of the world, more so in North Africa, Spain, and India, where the chickpea is a staple for India's largely vegetarian cuisine. Types of Chickpeas There are two types of chickpeas: desi and kabuli. Desi contains smaller, darker seeds and has more of a rough coat. Kabuli is a larger, lighter colored bean with a smoother coat.

"text": "Filing Your Return -> Disabilities -> Child Care Costs Income Tax Act s. 63Line 214 Child Care Expenses Child care costs are not claimed as a non-refundable tax credit, but as a deduction from income on line 214 of the personal tax return. A non-refundable tax credit is always at the lowest tax rate (except in Quebec), but a reduction of income would save tax at the taxpayer's marginal tax rate. In the Canadian Tax Calculator, child care costs are entered in the deductions area. The calculator does not check to ensure that the maximum allowable amount is not exceeded. It will provide a warning if the child care costs are being claimed by a higher income spouse. In most cases, child care expenses for an eligible child must be claimed by the parent with the lower net income for tax purposes. If the parents are separated and share custody, sometimes each parent may claim a portion of the child care costs. Where a medical doctor certifies in writing that the lower-income spouse is incapable of caring for the child due to a physical or mental infirmity, then the costs may be claimed by the higher income spouse. An eligible child is a child of you or your spouse or common-law partner , or a child who was dependent on you or your spouse or common-law partner, and whose net income in the year was less than or equal to the federal basic personal amount ($11,809 in 2018, $11,635 in 2017).

The maximum child care expenses that can be claimed per child each year is limited to $5,000, $8,000 or $11,000 depending on the circumstances. This Chapter discusses the meaning of child care expenses including the circumstances under which such expenses may be deducted. It comments on certain specific types of expenses and whether they qualify for deduction. It also discusses who is eligible to claim child care expenses and the limitations with respect to such claims. Examples are provided for lower and higher income taxpayers. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) issues income tax folios to provide technical interpretations and positions regarding certain provisions contained in income tax law. Due to their technical nature, folios are used primarily by tax specialists and other individuals who have an interest in tax matters. While the comments in a particular paragraph in a folio may relate to provisions of the law in force at the time they were made, such comments are not a substitute for the law. The reader should, therefore, consider such comments in light of the relevant provisions of the law in force for the particular tax year being considered."

The maximum annual deduction available to parents is $7,000 per year for each child under 7 on December 31 and $4,000 per year for each child from the ages of 7 to 16. There is no age limit if you have a disabled child, and you could be able to claim up to $10,000. In most cases the supporting person (not necessarily the parent) with the lowest net income before the childcare deduction is the only person that may claim the expenses. Interestingly, claiming childcare may be beneficial even if one of the spouses has no tax to pay. Claiming the deduction could increase the spousal/common law amount available (maximum $10,382 in 2010). Child care expenses are not deductible if paid to the child’s father or mother, or to any person under 18 who is related to you by a blood relationship, marriage, or adoption.

Make sure you’re taking the tax deductions you have coming your way with these most common ones as well as some lesser known but just-as-deductible ones you can claim.1. Withholding allowances/exemptions As a parent, you probably know you can claim a withholding allowance for each child who is a dependent. However, claiming an allowance doesn’t lower your annual taxes. It just reduces your withholding payments each paycheck, allowing you to keep more of each check instead of having to wait for a possible refund for overpaid taxes at the year of the year. Claiming the allowances can improve your bottom line in other ways, though. For example, having that extra cash in each paycheck to pay bills during the year can decrease the amount of credit card interest you pay (if you use cards to pay for things and have to carry a balance). Claiming more allowances and increasing the amount of money in your pocket can also let you invest the extra take-home pay, such as putting it in a 401 (k) contribution. In addition to your allowances, you also get a standard child credit deduction for each child you can claim as a dependent."

And a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has estimated that rate is as high as 1 in 50. Other disabilities are also becoming more prevalent, according to the CDC. Between 1997–1999 and 2006–2008, there was an 18.2% increase in blindness/sight impairment among children age 3 to 17, a 9.1% increase in seizures, and a 24.7% increase in “other developmental delay” (which excludes autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and learning disabilities). Further complicating the situation, parents with special needs children are often unaware of possible tax benefits that are available and forgo hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in potential tax deductions and credits. Michael A. O’Connor, an attorney who has written extensively on this topic, believes that 15% to 30% of families with a disabled child have one or more unclaimed tax benefits. Among these potential tax benefits are deductions or credits for the dependency exemption, medical expenses, special instruction, capital expenditures for medically required home improvements, impairment-related work expenditures, and the earned income tax credit."

"text": "\"Benefits Of A Dependent Care FSAAngie Mohr, Investopedia • October 9, 2012The IRS allows families to get tax relief for the cost of caring for children or other dependents. This is especially helpful as more families caring for young children also take in elderly parents rather than put them in a care facility or hospice. One plan offered by some employers is the dependent care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). The dependent care FSA shares some similarities with the more common healthcare FSA. Some of the restrictive provisions, such as the \"\"use it or lose it\"\" provision keep FSAs from being more popular, but it can be an important tax planning tool for many families. What Is a Dependent Care FSA? A dependent care FSA is a tax-advantage plan offered by employers and approved by the IRS. It allows plan subscribers to deposit funds from their paychecks into the plan throughout the year, which can then be used to pay eligible care expenses. This type of FSA can be used in tandem with, or instead of, claiming the dependent and child care tax credit on the end of year tax return. The plan is only offered through an employer and cannot be subscribed to otherwise."

There are a few exceptions though.

"text": "Home › Record Keeping & Taxes › Food Program and Food Expenses › Are CACFP Reimbursements Taxable Income? Are CACFP Reimbursements Taxable Income? January 17, 2011This question continues to confuse some family child care providers, Food Program (CACFP) sponsors, and tax professionals. The short answer is Yes. There is an exception – reimbursements received for a child care provider’s own child is not taxable income. IRS Publication 587 Business Use of Your Home says: “Do not include payments or expenses for your own children if they are eligible for the program [Food Program].” The reason is that such reimbursements are considered a “benefit” under Food Program regulations and not subject to taxes, like food stamps. How should you report Food Program reimbursements on your tax return? Here’s where there is the confusion. IRS Publication 587 says: “Reimbursements you receive from a sponsor under the Child and Adult Care Program of the Department of Agriculture are taxable only to the extent they exceed your expenses for eligible children. If your reimbursements are more than your expenses for food, show the difference as income in Part I of Schedule C. If you food expenses are greater than the reimbursements, show the difference as an expense in Part V of Schedule C.”Therefore, if you follow these instructions and your reimbursements were $4,000 and your food expenses were $5,000 you would should show zero income and $1,000 of food expenses on Schedule C. This is called the “netting” method – you are showing the net income or expense on Schedule C. However, a newer IRS publication has recommended that child care providers not use the “netting method”."

But even on regular school days, getting work done for my husband and I is a crazy juggle since we have a 2.5-year-old who’s not in school and we no longer have a regular child care provider. We had about 10 hours of help per week from our wonderful sitter Emily, until December at which point she “retired” due to the imminent arrival of her own first child. ( Congrats Emily!) So for the moment, we’re muddling through on our own and cobbling together some plans for summer and fall. One silver lining of paying out all that money for child care is that some of it (not enough, in my opinion) is deductible — but not as a business expense. Here’s an excerpt from my book on deductibility of child care expenses. Child Care Expenses: Deductible? If you have young children and own a business, child care may certainly seem like an ordinary and necessary expense for you to be able to run your business, right?

If you child was under 13 when the care was provided and is your dependent, the expenses for the child’s care might be allowable deductions. Here’s the simplified breakdown: There are dollar limits. You can only take a deduction up to $3,000 for one qualifying child or $6,000 for two or more. You can take a tax deduction on a percentage of your work-related child care expenses."

Tax Exemptions for You and Your Dependents Medical Expenses Education Expenses Other Ideas to Consider Tax Exemptions for You and Your Dependents An exemption is an amount of money you can subtract from your Adjusted Gross Income, just for being you or having dependents. Exemptions, then, reduce the amount of income on which you will be taxed. In 2007 you can receive a $3,400 exemption for each qualifying child, which may include your child or stepchild, foster child, sibling or stepsibling, or descendants of any of these, such as your grandchild. To qualify for an exemption, the child must live with you more than half of the year and be under 19 at the end of 2007 or under 24 if a full-time student, which is defined as attending school for at least part of five calendar months of the year. You no longer have to show that you provide more than half of the child’s support, as required under pre-2005 rules, but the child cannot provide more than half of his or her own support for you to claim an exemption. There is no longer a gross income test for a qualifying child, as long as it does not account for more than half of his or her support."

Having a child with disabilities puts great strain on your budget, and every bit of savings helps. There is no definitive answer yet, but an analysis of IRS documents implies that the cost can be deducted if your child is disabled and above the age when a child without a disability would no longer use them. Ordinarily, diapers, known as incontinence supplies, are not deductible as a medical deduction to your taxes, and in fact the primary government documents specifically exclude them. However, this does not end our search for the answer. The best place to look for information on how to deduct medical expenses is IRS Publication 502. Links to Pub 502, the tax code and regulations are on the tax reference page. Publication 502 supplies the general rules: Medical expenses are the costs of diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, and the costs for treatments affecting any part or function of the body.

Here are some of the main points they emphasize: Young children watch more television than any other age group. Between the ages of 2 and 3, most children develop a favorite television show and begin to acquire the habit of watching television. American children between the ages of 2 and 5 spend more time watching TV than any other age group! ( Presumably, school and other activities cut down on viewing time for children in the 6 to 17-year-old category.) Among other things, heavy TV viewing can also mean heavy exposure to violence. Children's programming has consistently been found to have higher levels of violence than any other category of programming. And young children also frequently watch violent programming intended for adults. Young children can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Your preschooler's rich imagination is a big part of his normal development, but that means it is usually hard for him to tell the difference between what's real and what's imaginary."

"text": "Psychoanalytic Feminism First published Mon May 16, 2011This article will discuss psychoanalytic feminism, not feminist psychoanalysis (i.e., except indirectly, it will not address ideas about developing feminist principles in clinical practice, although most of the authors discussed below are trained analysts). Psychoanalysis develops a theory of the unconscious that links sexuality and subjectivity ineluctably together. In doing so, it discloses the ways in which our sense of self, and our political loyalties and attachments, are influenced by unconscious drives and ordered by symbolic structures that are beyond the purview of individual agency. It might appear at the outset that any alliance between feminism and psychoanalysis would have to be coordinated on treacherous ground: in Sigmund Freud's lecture on “Femininity,” for instance, while discussing the “riddle of femininity” (Freud 1968 [1933], 116) or of sexual differentiation, Freud's rhetoric impeaches women as “the problem” (113) and excuses members of his audience from this indictment by offering the hope that they are “more masculine than feminine” (117). Many feminists have been wary both of the biases contained in Freud's oratory and of the overt content of his claims. This article will explain how and why feminist theory has, nonetheless, undertaken a serious reading of Freud and developed careful analyses of his fundamental concepts, working out their limits, impasses, and possibilities. In the same essay cited above, Freud writes that “psychoanalysis does not try to describe what a woman is—that would be a task it could scarcely perform—but sets about enquiring how she comes into being, how a woman develops out of a child with a bisexual disposition” (Freud 1968 [1933], 116). In using the term ‘bisexual,’ Freud refers to a quality of the sexual instinct, not a relation to a sexual object (which would be denoted by the term ‘inversion’); the bisexual child is one who psychically is not yet either a man or a woman, whose instinctual life functions prior to sexual difference. Freud here portrays femininity as one trajectory of the Oedipal Complex and indicates that sexed identity is a fragile achievement rather than a natural given or essence. By circumscribing the terrain on which the psychoanalytic account of sexual difference moves, and by seeing unresolved, even unresolvable, riddles where others might see the work of nature or culture, Freud problematizes any causal, seamless, or direct tie between sex, sexuality, and sexual difference."

Myths offered pseudo scientific explanations of natural phenomena—fertility, life and death, the creation of the world, its polarities, its social and technical functions. The activities of gods helped humans, but also hit them with evil and disease, and their anger caused floods, famines and wars.

Fairy tales may be distinguished from other folk narratives such as legends (which generally involve belief in the veracity of the events that has described) [1] and explicitly moral tales, including beast fables.

In less technical contexts, the term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in \"\"fairy tale ending\"\" (a happy ending) [2] or \"\"fairy tale romance \"\". Colloquially, a \"\"fairy tale\"\" or \"\"fairy story\"\" can also mean any far-fetched story or tall tale; it is used especially of any story that not only is not true, but could not possibly be true. Legends are perceived as real; fairy tales may merge into legends, where the narrative is perceived both by teller and hearers as being grounded in historical truth. However, unlike legends and epics, they usually do not contain more than superficial references to religion and actual places, people, and events; they take place once upon a time rather than in actual times. [ 3]Fairy tales are found in oral and in literary form; the name \"\"fairy tale\"\" was first ascribed to them by Madame d'Aulnoy in the late 17th century.

It is sometimes called fabulism, in reference to the conventions of fables, myths, and allegory. \"\" Magical realism\"\", perhaps the most common term, often refers to fiction and literature in particular, [1]: 1–5 with magic or the supernatural presented in an otherwise real-world or mundane setting. The terms are broadly descriptive rather than critically rigorous. Matthew Strecher defines magic realism as \"\"what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe\"\". [ 2] Many writers are categorized as \"\"magical realists\"\", which confuses the term and its wide definition. [ 3] Magical realism is often associated with Latin American literature, particularly authors including genre founders Miguel Angel Asturias, Jorge Luis Borges, Elena Garro, Juan Rulfo, Rómulo Gallegos, Gabriel García Márquez and Isabel Allende. In English literature, its chief exponents include Salman Rushdie, Alice Hoffman, and Nick Joaquin."

"text": "\"“The drones were terrifying. From the ground, it is impossible to determine who or what they are tracking as they circle overhead. The buzz of a distant propeller is a constant reminder of imminent death.\"\" This account of what a drone feels and sounds like from the ground comes from David Rohde, a journalist who was kidnapped and held by the Taliban for seven months in 2008. Yet this kind of report rarely registers in debates in the United States over the use of drones. Instead these debates seem to have reached an impasse. Opponents of drone strikes say they violate international law and have caused unacknowledged civilian deaths. Proponents insist they actually save the lives of both U. S. soldiers, who would otherwise be deployed in dangerous ground operations, and of civilians, because of the drone’s capacity to survey and strike more precisely than combat. If the alternative is a prolonged and messy ground operation, the advantage of drone strikes in terms of casualties is indisputable, and it is not my intention to dispute it here. But the terms of this debate give a one-sided view of both the larger financial and political costs of drones, as well as the less than lethal but nonetheless chronic and intense harm continuous strikes wage on communities."

I thought it would be a good idea to share it here. When I first discovered the term Maladaptive Daydreaming a year and a half ago I felt a massive weight being lifted off my shoulders. It all made perfect sense and I felt so relieved to know that there was a name for what I had been experiencing and that other people were experiencing it too. I researched as much as I could and talked to as many maladaptive daydreamers as I could find to learn more. However I’ve found myself becoming more and more confused about MD and what exactly a person needs to experience in order to qualify as an MDer. Some people feel they are addicted whereas others feel it makes them mentally ill. A large portion of people claim to suffer from other mental health related issues which begs the question “Do I have MD or a symptom of another disorder?” Where is the line between healthy daydreaming and maladaptive daydreaming? Here is what I’ve been thinking."

Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building, Washington, D. C. Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the creative ability to form images, ideas, and sensations in the mind without any immediate input of the senses (such as seeing or hearing). Imagination helps make knowledge applicable in solving problems and is fundamental to integrating experience and the learning process. [ 1] [2] [3] [4] A basic training for imagination is listening to storytelling ( narrative ), [1] [5] in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to \"\"evoke worlds\"\". [ 6]Imagination is a cognitive process used in mental functioning and sometimes used in conjunction with psychological imagery. The cognate term of mental imagery may be used in psychology for denoting the process of reviving in the mind recollections of objects formerly given in sense perception. Since this use of the term conflicts with that of ordinary language, some psychologists have preferred to describe this process as \"\" imaging \"\" or \"\" imagery \"\" or to speak of it as \"\"reproductive\"\" as opposed to \"\"productive\"\" or \"\"constructive\"\" imagination. Constructive imagination is further divided into voluntary top-down imagination driven by the prefrontal cortex, that is called mental synthesis, and spontaneous bottom up involuntary generation of novel images that occurs during dreaming. Imagined images, both novel and recalled, are seen with the \"\" mind's eye \"\"."

"text": "\"Challenges What to Do When Kids Lie Teaching kids to tell the truth takes understanding and reassurance By Katherine Lee Updated June 29, 2017Share Pin Email Print Stay calm and talk to your child when you catch her lying. Emely/Getty Images As much as we might like to think that our children will always tell the truth, the reality is that lying is something most children experiment with at one point or another. Parents should keep in mind that telling lies is a natural part of child development and that in most cases, children outgrow this behavior. Why Kids Lie When addressing this common problem, parents should consider a child's age, the circumstances and reasons for the lie, and how frequently he engages in this behavior. For example, many younger children -- usually younger than age 6—cannot yet make a clear distinction between fantasy and reality, and their \"\"lie\"\" may actually just be an expression of their imagination. That said, a child as young as age 4 is perfectly capable of deliberately telling a lie to avoid getting into trouble or get something he wants. Some common causes of lying in school-age children include: Wishful imaginative play Fear of punishment A desire to brag to friends/classmates to boost status and impress them To avoid something they don’t want to do (such as clean up toys)A desire to not disappoint parents when expectations are too high Unhappiness with something in their lives An attempt to get attention What to Do When Kids Lie Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when dealing with lying: Get to the root cause of the lie. Is your child simply telling a tall tale as part of fantasy play? Is she deliberately trying to mislead you because she doesn’t want to be punished? If your child is simply using her imagination, help her distinguish between fact and fiction without discouraging her creativity (so if she insists that she went to the moon with her imaginary friends, then explain that it sounds like so much fun you would like to join in too)."

"text": "September 20, 2011 Daniel Tutt Habermas and the Problem of Ideology: Or, Can the Real Rescue the Universal in a Post Metaphysical World? In Habermas’ formula of the principle of discourse, the truth is an anti-essentialist notion, thus agreements can exist without understanding (instrumental actions), but rational understanding cannot exist without a truth validity claim. There is no room for objective truth in a field of communicative action as the truth is only considered within the formal structure of a validity claim. But the real world does not work this way and Habermas recognizes this through the designation of “system” to clarify the problem of action stripped from the categorical imperative – or communicative action infected with instrumetnalized action – or action only concerned with the final outcomes. But what is the role of ideology within Habermas’ view of system? Take for instance the following situation that Habermas uses as a thought experiment to ground validity claims as the source of rationally grounded truth: A (the speaker) asks B (the hearer) to switch off the light in a room shared by both of them. In order that B will be able to reach an understanding of the utterance coming from A, B has to know the reason behind A’s requirement. Imagine that B asks for the reason of the requirement. A then explains that he has an eye problem, which is exacerbated by the light (a validity claim). B is now in a position to understand the reason that justifies A’s petition, and both can reach a rational agreement on switching off the light in the room."

Cathexis refers to the id's dispersal of energy while the anticathexis serves to block inappropriate uses of this energy. Learn more about how this process works. In his psychoanalytic theory of personality, Sigmund Freud suggested that psychic energy is generated by the libido. But how is this psychic energy used? According to Freud, this energy is released through biological means known as drives. A drive has two parts: a biological need and a psychological need. For example, the state of hunger leads to both a physical need for food and a psychological desire to eat. These two forces work together to form a drive to eat food when it is needed. Freud believed that people continuously generate psychic energy, but only a certain amount is available for use at any point in time."

It was identified in the early twentieth century as a distinct phenomenon by psychologists including E. R. Jaensch, Heinrich Klüver, Gordon Allport and Frederic Bartlett. Later, Akhter Ahsen located eidetic imagery in a structuralist context, and explored its therapeutic applications: psychotherapists sometimes encourage their clients to create and explore eidetic images as a way of coming to terms with past life events. Eidetic imagery has also been studied in relation to the creative arts.

[ 1] [2] [3] [4]In a more general context, the eidetic can be defined as a normal subjective visual image experienced with noticeable vividness whether evoked by an actual external object or not. The eidetic image is not dependent on any prior experience, condition, state, or event. The eidetic image is “seen” within the mind or literally seen externally. In seeing an eidetic image, definite somatic events as well as a feeling of meaning are also present. American psychologist Gordon Willard Allport formulated a similar definition and emphasized the “healthful” structure of the eidetic by stating “definition should be understood to exclude both pathological hallucinations and dream images, and to admit those spontaneous images of phantasy which, though possessed of perceptual character, cannot be said to be literally revivals or restorations of any specific perception.” ("

"text": "\"How lupus affects the muscles, tendons and joints Lupus Foundation of America October 17, 2017Dr. Francisco P. Quismorio Jr. It is not uncommon for people with lupus to experience muscle aches and pain (myalgias) or have inflammation of certain muscle groups (myositis), which causes weakness and loss of strength. More than 90 percent of people with lupus will experience joint and/or muscle pain at some time during the course of their illness. More than half of the people who develop lupus mention joint pain as their first symptom. Muscle pain and muscle tenderness, especially during periods of increased disease activity (flare), occur in as many as 50 percent of those with lupus. The symptoms may have different causes. It is important for your physician to determine the cause of your symptoms since treatments are quite varied. Rheumatologists are the physicians who specialize in the joints, muscles and bones. Muscle aches and pain may be from symptoms that happen when your body is responding to some type of inflammation, from muscle atrophy (weakness) or from a true myositis. Inflammation Inflammation is the most common reason for muscle pain and aches."

"text": "Austin, Texas Chunch bug in grass Chinch bugs Chinch bugs Chinch bugs Chinch bugs Chinch bugs Chinch Chinch Bugs in St. Augustine Lawns The southern chinch bug, Blissus insularis, is one of the most important insect pests of St. Augustine grass in Austin Texas. Although most damaging in Gulf Coast regions and in the southern half of the state, chinch bugs can be a problem anywhere St. Augustine is grown. Chinch bugs prefer hot, dry environments. Dry weather enhances survival of chinch bug nymphs and eggs by reducing the incidence of disease. Also, drought-stressed lawns are more susceptible to chinch bug injury, therefore, proper irrigation is crucial to Chinch bug population control. Although the southern chinch bug is a serious pest in St. Augustine grass lawns, it will feed on zoysia grass, centipede grass, bahia grass, or bermuda grass. The common chinch bug, Blissus luecopterus, is a closely-related species that is a pest of grain crops in Texas and throughout the Midwest. This species also occasionally damages turfgrass and may be responsible for infrequent reports of chinch bugs in bermuda grass, fescue, and zoysia grass lawns. Identification Expanding, irregular patches of dead or stunted grass surrounded by a halo of yellowing, dying grass often provide the first clue to the presence of chinch bugs. These islands of dying grass tend to increase in size and merge as insect numbers increase."

Planting flowers that repel garden pests offers an extra bonus of brightening up the garden with beautifully colored blooms and foliages. Borage, Opal Basil and Petunias Borage, opal basil and petunias all deter tomato hornworms. Borage also is an attractant plant for beneficial insects, and it also repels cabbage worms. Petunias deter asparagus beetles, leaf hoppers, Mexican bean beetle, aphids and other predatory insects. ( Tea made with petunia leaves is a potent insect repellent). Chervil, Nasturtiums and Rue Aphids are deterred by chervil, nasturtiums and rue. Chervil also may deter slugs. Nasturtiums repel whiteflies, cucumber beetles and other pests."

"text": "Get Rid Of Crickets Mole Cricket Treatments It is easier to kill mole cricket nymphs than mole cricket adults when getting rid of your mole cricket population. Even though the mole cricket nymphs are wingless, they look like adults. The mole cricket nymphs can cause considerable damage to grass and lawns during the summer months when it is warm. Thoroughly treat the targeted area with a granulated systemic insecticide such as Imidacloprid .5 Granules. Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide, reaching into the soil to kill the nymphs that cause the damage. An alternative treatment would be using Bifen XTS as a liquid treatment. The Imidacloprid .5 Granules will last 3-6 months and the Bifen XTS will last 30 days. Mole Cricket Treatment-Timing - Important for Control Mole crickets treatment should be timed to kill immature crickets (nymphs), which do the most damage to turf grasses. In the Southern states, treat with Imidacloprid .5 Granules during the latter end of May or beginning of June. These granules last 3-6 months."

Proper mowing, fertilizing, irrigation and thatch control provide a dense, healthy, high-quality lawn. Mowing The importance of good mowing practices is often overlooked. Mowing has a major influence on the turf density, uniformity and aesthetic quality of a home lawn. It is also the most repetitious and time-consuming maintenance practice and is often done incorrectly. Frequency and Height Turf can be mowed frequently, provided no more than one-third of the grass blade is removed in a single mowing. Mow as high as possible. Lower mowing produces a shallow root system. Shallow grass roots cannot take up enough water and nutrients, making the lawn susceptible to drought stress. Low mowing encourages broadleaf weed invasion and invasion from grassy weeds such as creeping bentgrass and annual blue-grass."

If you are having trouble with a fungus or other plant disease go to our article on Plant Disease Products. Damage Identification Damage to turfgrass from insect pests takes many forms. Feeding by soil-inhabitants such as white grubs, billbugs , and mole crickets usually shows up as wilted, dead or dying grass. Sod may be disturbed in areas where wildlife or pets dig up soil-inhabiting pests. Damage to turf by thatch inhabitants such as sod webworms, armyworms and cutworms is apparent when grass is cut off close to the ground.

"text": "\"Plant Answers > Floratam St. Augustine Grass -- the BEST Grass for South and South Central Texas Floratam St. Augustine Grass -- the BEST Grass for South and South Central Texas Floratam St. Augustine grass was released by the Florida and Texas Agricultural Experiment Stations in 1972 as a SAD virus and chinch bug resistant selection. It has since been observed to be brown patch tolerant. Like other Florida types, Floratam is a vigorous, coarse textured St. Augustine grass variety. Floratam has a purple stigma color and is sterile. Stolons of Floratam are large, purplish-red in color with internodes averaging 3 inches in length. Leaf blades are wider and longer than common St. Augustine grass. According to James Beard, TAEX Turf Researcher - retired, test at A&M concluded it is the most drought-tolerant of all St. Augustine grasses. Some feel that Floratam is not as cold tolerant as the common type found in Texas so preconditioning by use of Winterizer fertilizer (3-1-2 or 4-1-2 ratio) in the fall (October) is CRITICAL. Floratam may suffer freeze damage in areas north (cold) and west (dry) of San Antonio so the grass variety is especially suitable for all areas South of Highway 90 including San Antonio, Houston, Corpus Christi and the Rio Grande Valley. Some feel that Floratam also lacks the degree of shade tolerance that other St. Augustine grass varieties possess but filtered light through live oak canopies offer the ideal growth environment."

Wonderful ideas; the dilemma is, how to put them into practice without going back to school for four years for a combined degree in soil science and entomology. Fortunately that won’t be necessary. The simplest way to control lawn and landscape problems of any kind (insects, weeds, fungi) is to grow a healthy lawn. That may sound too easy, but it’s true. You’ll never eliminate all the harmful weeds and bacteria and insects from your lawn any more than you’ll eliminate ALL the disease-bearing bacteria from your home. The goal is for you and your yard to be healthy enough so that the ones that are around can’t make either of you sick. So don’t give pests an opportunity. Make sure your lawn is properly watered and your grass is growing in good, healthy soil. Choose grass that will grow well in your climate — that alone will make your lawn more pest resistant than trying to grow a water-hungry variety in a water-starved area like parts of Arizona, New Mexico or Nevada."

Please tell me what I need to do to prevent large brown dead circles from reappearing in my St. Augustine lawn in August.-- D. L., Houston A. Late summer lawn woes include brown patch, chinch bugs and sod webworms. It can be difficult to distinguish one problem from the next, so if you're not sure after reading the following, seek the help of a certified nurseryman or lawn expert. The first signs of chinch bugs are irregular patches of dead or stunted grass that are surrounded by a halo of yellowing and dying grass. These patches of dying grass, often found in the hottest, driest areas of the lawn, such as those near the drive or sidewalk, expand and merge as the pest population increases.

Fox2Detroit Before you treat, make a positive identification that chinch bugs are your problem. The damage these insects cause looks like drought damage -- irregular brown, dead areas -- so look for the pests in the yellowing areas (not the dead areas) before treatment. Chinch bugs are only about 1/8-inch to -inch long and have black bodies and white wings with black triangular markings. If you don't see the chinch bugs near the soil surface, push a bottomless can several inches into the ground in an area where the grass is turning yellow. Fill the can with water, wait several minutes, and any bugs will float to the surface. Chinch-bug damage also can resemble brown-patch symptoms, but brown patch, a fungal disease, often creates circular patterns."

As a side note, I am assuming that Voles get their name because they use the same tunnels as moles, but are not moles. Rather they are a mouse type rodent with different habits. Therefore, it is important to know which one you have. I am glad for the input and will write more about catching and controlling voles. Sometimes voles will be caught in mole traps, but rarely.

Newly hatched nymphs are tiny—about 1/16th of an inch. Nymphs—which look like small adults—become adults in 5 weeks. They go through 5 molts to reach adult size—meaning they shed their old, smaller skin 5 times. They must feed before each molt. Females can produce 5-7 eggs per week, laying up to 500 in a lifetime. Bed bugs grow fastest and lay most eggs at about 80°F. They feed only on blood."

"text": "\"Chinchbugs (crown & thatch inhabitant)Several varieties of chinch bugs have been known to attack American turfgrasses. The hairy chinch bug (Blissus leucopterus hirtus Montandon) is the most common pest of northern turfgrasses, although the common chinch bug (Blissus leucopterus leucopterus Say) is occasionally found in cool season lawns. The common chinch bug is normally found from South Dakota across to Virginia and south to a line running from mid-Texas across to mid-Georgia. The hairy chinch bug cohabits some of the northern range of the common chinch bug but also extends throughout the northeastern states and into southern Canada. The hairy chinch bug prefers turfgrass species such as fine fescues, perennial ryegrasses, Kentucky bluegrass, bentgrass and zoysiagrass. The common chinch bug prefers grain crops such as sorghum, corn and wheat but will attack turfgrasses such as Bermudagrass, fescues, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, zoysiagrass and crabgrass. Infestations of southern chinch bug are often related to drought conditions or non uniform irrigation. Populations can often be brought under control by correcting the watering distribution problems and beginning regular irrigation during the drought. Population decline and turf recovery are usually the result of a combination of chinch bugs being infected with the fungus disease, Beauveria, and vigorous turf growth. Types of damage Chinch bug damage is usually first detected when irregular patches of turf begin to turn yellow then straw colored."

Above ground, the onion shows only a single vertical shoot; the bulb grows underground, and is used for energy storage, leading to the possibility of confusion with a tuber, which it is not.

Interested in cultivating sweet, home-grown onions and flavorful garlic in your own backyard? If so, now is the time to plant. Growing onions from seed and garlic from cloves is easy to do in home gardens. Onions and garlic have few pest problems, and crops started now will be ready for harvest in spring. Ensure your success by preparing your soil well and choosing varieties recommended for the south. Soil Preparation Onions and garlic need good soil conditions and full sun to grow well. Good drainage is essential. So is a rich, loamy soil with plenty of organic matter. Raised beds are ideal for growing onions and garlic since they provide good drainage and can easily be amended by tilling 2”-3” of compost into the soil. Onions and garlic grow best when the soil p H ranges from 6.0 to 6.5."

"text": "Articles and Instructions, Organic Growing Companion Planting Posted May 28, 2017 by Mark Macdonald28 May West Coast Seeds offers its guidelines to companion planting to you as suggestions keeping in mind, each garden is unique and all of the factors should go into consideration while planning your garden, including but not limited too sun exposure, weather, ecology, pollinators, insect population, the soil, water supply and historical plant and harvest productivity and planning as well. West Coast Seeds has conducted significant research into the companion planting guidelines and has defined the best possible results and reasons for each of our recommendations in our companion planting chart, below are a few thoughtful suggestions for you while planning your garden this year. The benefits of Companion Planting include: Minimizing Risk: Increases odds of higher yields even if one crop fails or you are effected by natural hardships such as weather, pests or disease, the overall yield of your plot may be increased by limiting the spread and avoiding a monoculture instead focus on polyculture or mimicking the best natural growth patterns and diversity. Crop Protection / Shielding: Companion Planting can offer a more delicate plant shelter from weather such as wind or sun by growing beside another plant which can shield and protect while itself having a natural defense against the harsher conditions. Trap Cropping: Companion planting is also the ultimate organic pest management, you may keep away unwanted pests that may be attracted to one crop but repelled by the other and this will assist in protecting the otherwise attractive prey, this is referred to as trap cropping. Positive hosting: By planting in proximity to plants which produce a surplus of nectar and pollen, you can increase the population of beneficial insects that will manage your harmful pest population. Here are some basic guidelines for successful companion planting: Agastache – Very attractive to bees. Plant a row away from the garden to lure cabbage moths away from Brassica crops. Do not plant near radishes. Alyssum – Very attractive to pollinators, and useful as a mulch to keep weeds down between rows."

They take up very little space, and the whole plant can be eaten from top to bottom - the bulbs as mild onions, the leaves in salads and flavouring, the flower heads as a splash of colour to salads. Type Edible flowering herb from the onion family Site and Soil Most soils, partial shade or full sun. Plant to Harvest Time 3 months Where To Grow Chives Chives will grow in almost all soils, the ideal one being well-dug with the addition of well-rotted compost or organic material. Work in a handful or two of bonemeal per square metre (yard). Chives are not greedy feeders, so it is not necessary to feed throughout the year if the soil has been prepared as described. Full sun or partial shade suit them equally well, and although they are fairly tolerant of drought, don't plant them in very dry places. Propagating Chives Chives are very similar to onions, they have a bulbous root and green leaves. The bulbs multiply quickly over a few years and this provides the easiest method of propagation. Simply dig up the clump of bulbs in March or October, carefully separate them into individual bulbs and replant with the tips of the bulbs level with the soil surface."

"text": "\"Spices & Herbs Dictionary A spice is a dried seed, fruit, root, bark, or vegetative substance used in nutritionally insignificant quantities as a food additive for flavor, color, or as a preservative that kills harmful bacteria or prevents their growth. In the kitchen, spices are distinguished from herbs, which are leafy, green plant parts used for flavoring. A spice may be available in several forms: fresh, whole dried, or pre-ground dried. Generally, spices are dried. A whole dried spice has the longest shelf life so can be purchased and stored in larger amounts, making it cheaper on a per-serving basis. Some spices are rarely available either fresh or whole, for example turmeric, and must be purchased in ground form. Small seeds, such as fennel and mustard seeds, are used both whole and in powder form. The shelf life of a whole spice is roughly two years. The shelf life of a ground spice roughly six months.

"text": "Header image: Chowhound Grocery stores label long, skinny, green-topped onions that have white bottoms as either scallions or green onions. But they are almost always the exact same plant, says Kat Barlow, a customer service technician for Territorial Seed Company in Oregon. Chives, on the other hand, are “typically considered an herb since the plant stays pretty tiny yet has a strong, pungent flavor that is good as a seasoning in smaller quantities. ”Specifically, green onions/scallions are the genus and species Allium fistulosum, a.k.a. the Japanese bunching onion or Welsh onion, says Dale W. Mc Neal, a professor emeritus of biology at the University of the Pacific in Northern California. According to Barlow, this species “stays small and does not form big bulbs”; she adds that the regular cooking onion ( Allium cepa) may also occasionally be sold as a green onion or spring onion if it’s harvested early, before the bulb fully forms. The immature cepa has a stronger flavor than the fistulosum. Used raw, green onions/scallions add a bit of texture, color, and a milder taste to your cooking than regular onions, as in this recipe for guacamole. They are also delicious grilled whole. “Chives are a completely different species, Allium schoenoprasum, ” Mc Neal says."

Creating a companion vegetable garden will allow you to take advantage of these useful and beneficial relationships. Companion Planting Reasons Vegetable companion planting makes sense for a few reasons: First, many companion plants are already things you would grow in your garden. By moving these plants around, you can get the best performance from them. Second, many companion vegetable plants help to deter pests, which helps to decrease the amount of pesticides and effort it takes to keep your garden pest free. Third, vegetable companion planting frequently also increases the yields of the plants. This means you get more food from the same space.

"title": "http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-deionized-water.htm\nWhat is Deionized Water?",
"text": "\"Deionized water is a type of purified water with mineral ions (salts) removed. These mineral ions include sodium, calcium, iron, copper, chloride, and bromide. Deionized water is created by taking conventional water and exposing it to electrically charged resins that attract and bind to the salts, removing them from the water. Because most of the impurities in water are mineral salts, deionized water is mostly pure, but it does still contain numerous bacteria and viruses, which have no charge and therefore are not attracted to the electrified resins. In recent years, many deionization systems have been marketed for home use, often with claims that deionized water is an antioxidant that can slow aging and prevent disease. This is quack medicine, and contradicts basic aspects of physiology and chemistry. Some scientists who have studied the health effects of this water have even called it \"\"snake oil on tap.\"\" There are many reasons why this water should not be expected to have positive health effects, but one is that the mineral salts that one would avoid by drinking this water are merely regained by eating any other food with even trace amounts of moisture. So the level of mineral salts in the body is essentially the same either way. Many of the mineral salts are essential nutrients, and some scientists even say that drinking unpurified water provides us with significant portions of our daily values of these nutrients."

To make the CNCs adaptable for use in composites, the hydroxyl groups on the surface are usually hydrophobized. In this article, an alternative hydrophobization method is described in which the sulfate groups are conjugated with azetidinium salts. The results of this study show that the sulfate groups can be functionalized with azetidinium salts and from thermal studies, it was discovered that the functionalization led to a 100 °C increase in thermal stability, compared with unmodified CNCs. The nanocomposites prepared by extrusion of CNC-coated low-density polyethylene powder displayed similar mechanical properties as the CNC-reference sample, but without the discoloration, due to the increased thermal stability. In conclusion, the azetidinium reagent reacts preferentially with sulfate groups, and this new type of chemical conversion of sulfate groups on polysaccharides will be beneficial in nanocomposite manufacturing. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Huntstock, Getty Imagesby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated January 12, 2018You can drink tap water, but it's not suitable for most laboratory tests, preparing solutions, calibrating equipment, or cleaning glassware. For the lab, you want purified water. Common purification methods include reverse osmosis (RO), distillation, and deionization. Distillation and deionization are similar in that both processes remove ionic impurities, but distilled water and deionized water (DI) are not the same and are not interchangeable for many lab purposes. Let's take a look at how distillation and deionization work, the difference between them, when you should use each type of water, and when it's okay to substitute one for the other. How Distilled Water Works Scientist adding distilled water to a sample container in the laboratory. Getty Images/Huntstock Distilled water is a type of demineralized water that is purified using distillation. The source water for distillation could be tap water, but spring water is used most often."

Vinegar contains acetic acid. Apart from these, some acids are widely used in the laboratory, like hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The bases which are soluble in water are called alkalis. In general, bases are found in household cleaners to clean grease from windows and floors and also in soaps, toothpaste, egg whites, dish washing liquids and household ammonia. Our body contains some very common acids like dilute hydrochloric acid in the stomach, which causes indigestion of food. If the contents of our stomach become too acidic, we get indigestion and a burning sensation in the stomach.

"text": "How Softeners Work Softener Components Softener Salts Alternative Technologies Most water softeners on the market are ion exchange systems. In these systems, hardness ions (calcium and magnesium) are exchanged for salt (sodium or potassium) ions. The exchange takes place within the resin tank of the water softener. When water flows through the tank it comes in contact with small resin beads that are covered with salt ions. As water flows through the resin beads, hardness ions trade places with salt ions, hence the higher salt content in softened water. As larger volumes of water are softened, the beads become exhausted and contain nothing but hardness ions . The beads are recharged by adding bags of salt to the brine tank. Recharging works the same as softening but in reverse. The hardness ions swap places with the salt ions in the brine tank and excess minerals are rinsed into the wastewater drain. Demand initiated regeneration (DIR) water softeners are the most common ion exchange softeners sold locally."

"text": "Home Aquarium Salt Mix Guide Salt Mix Guide Clean, pure saltwater is crucial to the health and well-being of creatures in your marine aquarium. Seawater is composed of many different ions (salts) in different concentrations. The main ions are sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), magnesium (Mg), and sulfate (S04), forming the salts (Na Cl and Mg S04). Salinity is the measure of the concentration of dissolved salts (ions) in the water, often given in ppt – parts per thousand. Normal seawater is about 35 ppt salts. But sea water is not just “salty”; it contains a precise mix of trace elements, all of which should be present in an artificial replacement. Using a commercial salt mix, you create water for the aquarium that is in many ways superior to natural sea water, with buffers to help maintain the proper p H, as well as additional calcium and other trace elements to maintain corals, clams and other reef invertebrates. In a closed system like an aquarium, the supply of certain dissolved substances can become severely depleted between water changes with no natural replenishment as would occur in the ocean. In a healthy reef tank with rapidly growing stony corals and tridacnid clams, the demand for calcium, magnesium and other trace elements can be so high that salt mix alone will not provide enough. Such a system can require almost constant supplementation."

Radioactivity was also discovered. Today chemists have discovered 118 different elements. Some are very common, like oxygen."

All ionic compounds are solids in their standard state (25 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere). Ionic compounds are composed of ions; elements or molecules which are positively charged are called cations and elements or molecules which are negatively charged are called anions. A simple model to be used to imagine what ions (cations or anions) look like at the atomic level, is a sphere. For simple monoatomic ions and most polyatomic ions we can think of as charged spheres of different sizes. In the state the spheres (ions) are arranged so that any particular ion is surrounded by the oppositely charged ion. What ever pattern which arises depends on several factors which we will not be discussing at this point in our class. Below is a picture of a model of a simple ionic compound. Notice the spheres (ions) of different sizes and how each sphere (ion) is surrounded by the other spheres (ion)."

George Doyle/ Getty Images Household bleaches are a part of everyday life and are in nearly every American home, usually in more than one form. There are two main classes of household bleach: chlorine bleaches and non-chlorine bleaches. All of these bleaches are in a class of chemicals known as oxidative agents, meaning that they cause a chemical reaction called oxidation when they come into contact with certain stains, certain germs or other organisms, and sometimes clothing dyes. Bleach is a very useful chemical both around the house and for large-scale use. You can use bleach to remove stains on clothing or to whiten your laundry. It's used to disinfect surfaces, too, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. You may have tried bleach to remove mold and mildew. Hospital personnel use bleach as a disinfectant, hotels use bleach to clean and disinfect bed linens and surfaces, and restaurants disinfect food preparation surfaces with chlorine bleach. People use chlorine in swimming pools to keep the water clean and raise the p H, and in much smaller concentrations to help keep municipal water supplies free of harmful organisms."

"text": "\"What is the Parvo Dog Disease?by Lisa Parris Daily Puppy P arvo is the abbreviated term for Canine Parvovirus. The disease caused by this virus is much more common in puppies than in adult dogs because it thrives on the developing cells of the growing pup. The virus tends to congregate in the dog's intestinal tract, leading to digestive upset and inhibiting the production of infection fighting white blood cells. It is the most widespread lethal viral infection among domestic dogs. It can even lead to heart failure. It is worth noting, the parvovirus is completely avoidable with the application of a simple vaccine. Symptoms When Parvovirus is present, it generally affects the digestive tract. Infected dogs will be unable to absorb fluids. This leads to severe diarrhea, which is often bloody, yellowish in color and extremely rank. Other common parvo symptoms include vomiting, loss of appetite, sluggishness and fever."

This season I want to use bleach instead of tablets... mainly because the tablets have stabilizer in them, and do not want to increase the stabilizer level any higher than it is now. I have a 30K gallon pool, and if I add a large bottle of 6% bleach (Target has them at 187 ounce I think) the chlorine level will increase an additional 3 ppm. I'll use 5 ppm in my example as the standard desired chlorine level in summertime. Having said that, I have a few questions:#1. Is it better to add a little bleach every few days or so such that the chlorine ppm level is fairly stable (i.e. try to keep the level at or near 5 ppm)?#2. Or is it safe to add a full bottle of bleach that will raise the level to 8 ppm, and then add another bottle once the level comes back down to 5 ppm? Option #2 is less maintenance obviously, and requires less preciseness in measuring bleach, etc. Any feedback is welcomed.

Swimming pool chlorine is produced in many types, shapes and concentrations; so many that it can get downright confusing, especially if you’re a new pool owner. This article will discuss chlorine in all its forms, and provide some ways to understand the costs and benefits of the dozen or so different chlorine products we offer at In The Swim. As a means of differentiation, let’s first break down chlorine into two groups: those types used for everyday chlorination, and types used for pool shocking or super chlorination. Daily-Use Pool Chlorine Products To maintain a residual of at least 1.0 ppm (parts per million) in your swimming pool, the best chlorine products are slow-release types that are stabilized, or protected from sunlight degradation. Since they are used everyday, they should be safer to handle and also fairly p H balanced. The higher the percentage of available chlorine, the better – pound for pound, you’ll get more chlorine for your dollar. Chlorine Tablets & Sticks Trichloro-S-Triazinetrione is the most popular type of chlorine for everyday use. It comes packaged in 3in. tablets, 1in."

Sofuoglu b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2014.04.049 Get rights and content Highlights•CHCl 3 and CCl 4 were the dominating halogenated VOCs in chlorine bleach products.•Indoor air VOC estimates indicated substantial increases from bleach use.•Carcinogenic risks from the use of bleach products may be considerably high. Abstract It was recently shown that substantial amounts of halogenated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are formed in chlorine-bleach-containing household products as a result of reactions of sodium hypochlorite with organic product components. Use of these household products results in elevated indoor air halogenated VOC concentrations. Halogenated VOCs in several chlorine-bleach-containing household products (plain, n = 9; fragranced, n = 4; and surfactant-added, n = 29) from Europe and North America were measured in the present study. Chloroform and carbon tetrachloride were the dominating compounds having average concentrations of 9.5 ± 29.0 (average ± SD) and 23.2 ± 44.3 (average ± SD) mg L −1, respectively. Halogenated VOC concentrations were the lowest in plain bleach, slightly higher in fragranced products and the highest in the surfactant-added products. Investigation of the relationship between the halogenated VOCs and several product ingredients indicated that chlorinated VOC formation is closely related to product composition. Indoor air concentrations from the household use of bleach products (i.e., bathroom, kitchen, and hallway cleaning) were estimated for the two dominating VOCs (chloroform and carbon tetrachloride). Estimated indoor concentrations ranged between 0.5 and 1030 (34 ± 123, average ± SD) μg m −3 and 0.3–1124 (82 ± 194, average ± SD) μg m −3 for chloroform and carbon tetrachloride, respectively, indicating substantial increases compared to background. Results indicated that indoor air concentrations from surfactant-added products were significantly higher ( p < 0.01) than other categories."

If you’re not familiar with the autism community, you may wonder why my statement would ever be considered controversial. Unfortunately, in the autism community, where there are disagreements about everything, even this seemingly straightforward statement causes arguments. The controversy, such as it is, began during the Autism One conference, held in Chicago from May 23-27. The conference is a one-stop shop for parents looking for alternative treatments for autism, and it featured some of the most prominent supporters of the idea that vaccines cause autism, including discredited scientist Andrew Wakefield and celebrity autism mom Jenny Mc Carthy. But the Autism One presentation that may have gotten the most attention this year was this one, about a treatment called MMS. In it, Kerri Rivera, the founder of a “Biomed-based Autism Clinic in Latin America,” explained “how MMS (chlorine dioxide) has become the “missing piece” to the autism puzzle” and how she has used it to recover 38 children in 20 months."

Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images P arvo is a solitary strand of DNA protected by a protein coat. It invades the body of its host, attacks the cells and begins replicating itself. First, it attacks the lymph nodes in the throat and then travels to the bloodstream, bone marrow and intestines. By educating yourself on the symptoms and warning signs of this virus, you can help your pet to get on the road to recovery as soon as possible. How are Dogs Exposed? Parvovirus is most commonly spread through dog feces. An infected dog will shed the virus in his feces three to four days after exposure, before he shows any symptoms himself. An ounce of feces from an infected dog contains 30 billion to 35 billion units of the virus. One billion units are enough to trigger infection."

Pet owners can also unknowingly bring the infection home on clothes, shoes or car tires. Even indoor pets are not free from the threat of distemper as it is also an airborne virus and can infect pets through open windows and doors. Over 50% of dogs and 80% of puppies who become infected with distemper will die. Of those who survive, many will have permanent damage to their nervous systems and will suffer from seizures or paralysis for the rest of their lives. The symptoms most commonly associated with Distemper are red, runny eyes and a nasal discharge. Dogs seem to just have a cold at first but the disease worsens rapidly.

The virus attacks and kills these cells, causing diarrhea (often bloody), depression and suppression of white blood cells -- which come from another group of rapidly dividing cells. In very young puppies it can infect the heart muscle and lead to \"\"sudden\"\" death. Parvovirus Vaccination Parvovirus is probably the most common viral illness of dogs at the present time. It is much more common in puppies than it is in adult dogs. It can be very hard to successfully vaccinate a puppy for this disease because the antibody protection the puppy acquires from its mother can interfere with vaccination. Many vets recommend vaccinating puppies every three to four weeks for this virus starting at 6 weeks of age and continuing until they are at least 16 weeks of age and preferably 20 weeks of age."

The interruption of transmission is achieved by proper treatment of drinking water. Water-washed (water-scarce) diseases, such as polio, are diseases where the interruption of the transmission is achieved through proper attention to effective sanitation, washing and personal hygiene. Regular washing of hands, especially after going to the toilet, is the most effective measure in preventing many infections, as is proper washing and hygiene during food preparation, together with proper sanitation, waste disposal and fly control. Water based diseases are diseases transmitted by contact with water, e.g. recreational swimming. Water vector diseases, such as malaria, are diseases that are transmitted by a vector, such as the mosquito, which needs water or moisture in order to breed. Prevention of transmission is through a vector control. Cholera – “Comma Bacterium\"\"Cholera is a diarrhoeal disease that is very sudden in onset. It is characterised by a massive loss of body fluids, through diarrhoea and vomiting, leading to severe dehydration, which can be fatal. The stool has the appearance of “rice water”."

A. Yours is a very timely question, and if you go to my blog ( http://www.drlaundryblog.com) I just posted a response to a similar question on August 20th. To clarify a couple of your questions below: Generally, the best cleaning, stain/soil removal and whitening is accomplished with the strongest bleach, which would be Clorox® Regular-Bleach. It also is the only disinfecting bleach and can be used around the house to clean and disinfect a wide variety of surfaces and problems. These (chlorine) bleaches have sodium hypochlorite as the active ingredient. The non-chlorine or oxygen bleaches like our Clorox2® Stain Remover and Color Booster were developed to be safely used on colored clothing. Some colored items are bleachable."

We always appreciate hearing from our consumers. For small wading pools that are emptied daily we recommend using 1/8 cup of Clorox Bleach - Regular Scent per 100 gallons of water. For larger above ground or in ground pools we would recommend the following for initial dosages of the product. 5,000 gallons water - 3 cups bleach, 6,000 gallons - water 4 cups bleach, 8,000 gallons water - 5 cups bleach, 10,000 gallons water - 6 cups bleach, 15,000 gallons water - 10 cups bleach, 20,000 gallons water - 13 cups bleach, 25,000 gallons water - 17 cups bleach, 30,000 gallons water - 20 cups bleach, 35,000 gallons water - 23 cups bleach. Note: 2 cups = 1 pint, 4 cups = 1 quart, 16 cups = 1 gallon. One quart of Clorox Bleach - Regular Scent per 6,000 gallons of water will supply approximately 2 ppm (parts per million) available chlorine, but this may dissipate rather rapidly in new water depending on the general sanitation conditions of the pool. Repeat dosage as needed to obtain 0.6 to 1.0 ppm available chlorine. Use chlorine test strips to adjust to the desired concentration. In chlorinating a swimming pool, mix the required amount of Clorox Bleach - Regular Scent with 10 parts water and feed this solution through a chlorinator into the main water supply line to the pool."

"text": "\"Featured Articles Bobwhite Quail Production and Management Guide30 May 2002By W. A. Dozier, III and K. Bramwell, Extension Poultry Scientists, Poultry Science Department at the University of Georgia - This report looks at Bobwhite Quail bird management practices, including tips on disease prevention and breeder and hatchery management. Each year in Georgia, approximately five million Bobwhite quail are produced and marketed for use at hunting preserves and plantations. In Georgia, it is required that public use hunting preserves obtain annual permits through the Department of Natural Resources. Approximately 175 hunting preserves are permitted annually through the Department of Natural Resources. In addition to the large number of hunting preserves in Georgia, there are many other plantations in the adjoining southern states. The total number of hunting preserves and plantations in the southern region provides an excellent market for Bobwhite quail producers. With the associated problems of agronomic crops such as droughts and volatile market prices, Bobwhite quail production has received attention as an alternative enterprise for many farming operations. Most successful producers typically raise breeders with the intent to market the resultant chicks at one day of age to growout producers, or they specialize in the growout of day-old chicks until approximately 17 weeks of age to sell as flight-ready birds to game preserve owners. Breeder producers typically sell day-old chicks at $0.25-0.30/bird, whereas flight-ready bird producers market 17 week-old birds at approximately $2.80-3.00/bird. The quality of bird produced and the time of year they are available may greatly influence the price received for flight-ready Bobwhite quail."

"text": "\"Laundry How-Tos How to Use Bleach to Clean Clothes By Mary Marlowe Leverette Updated 03/11/18Share Pin Email Tetra Images / Getty Images Using bleach in the laundry room aids detergents in the removal of soil and stains. There are two types of bleach commonly used in home laundry: chlorine bleach or sodium hypochlorite (Clorox, Pure Bright are brand names) and oxygen bleach or sodium percarbonate (Oxiclean, Tide Oxi and Clorox 2 are brand names). Through a process of oxidation, bleach changes the soil into soluble particles to be washed away by detergents in the washing process. Bleach helps to whiten and brighten washable fabrics and some bleaches disinfect fabrics by killing bacteria. How to Use Chlorine Bleach in Laundry Chlorine bleach is a 5.25% solution of sodium hypochlorite and the most powerful of home bleaches. The liquid version is the most common but a dry form is also available. Both must be diluted with water for safe use on fabrics. When chlorine bleach is used in the wash, it acts as a disinfectant on bacteria and viruses and generally whitens most natural fiber fabrics like cotton. Care must be taken to use it effectively by adding it at the correct time and at the correct temperature to the wash load. Liquid chlorine bleach has a limited shelf life."

"text": "Veterinary care is essential for dogs infected with parvo. Canine parvovirus, commonly referred to as parvo, is one of the most deadly illnesses in young and unvaccinated dogs. Parvo is highly contagious, spreading from dog to dog quickly and infecting soil for years. Quick diagnosis, proper treatment and vaccinations will help your beloved companion survive this devastating illness. What is Parvo? Canine parvovirus is an acute, contagious disease originally observed in the 1970s. Parvo affects the entire body, although it mainly affects those cells in the body that reproduce quickly, such as the lining of the stomach and intestines. CVP2, CVP2a, and CVP2b are the three individual strains of parvo, although veterinarians contend that a new strain will emerge as the virus adapts to dogs’ immune systems. Parvo invades cells and replicates, eventually bursting out of individual cells and spreading rapidly throughout the body. The virus kills off the intestinal lining and greatly reduces the bone marrow’s capacity to produce new cells, seriously compromising the dog’s ability to combat the virus."

Every time even a small amount of the ozone layer is lost, more ultraviolet light from the sun can reach the Earth. Every time 1% of the ozone layer is depleted, 2% more UV-B is able to reach the surface of the planet. UV-B increase is one of the most harmful consequences of ozone depletion because it can cause skin cancer. The increased cancer levels caused by exposure to this ultraviolet light could be enormous. The EPA estimates that 60 million Americans born by the year 2075 will get skin cancer because of ozone depletion. About one million of these people will die. In addition to cancer, some research shows that a decreased ozone layer will increase rates of malaria and other infectious diseases.

It is best known for its historical use as a general anesthetic, although this has since been abandoned due to safety concerns. Today, trichloromethane is used in a variety of industrial processes, including the manufacture of plastics, refrigerants, and solvents. It is found in small quantities in water and the atmosphere; most of this comes from natural sources. Chloroform is toxic and rapidly releases vapor when exposed to the air, so it should be handled with care. Production This compound was originally made by the reaction of ethanol or acetone with bleaching powder — calcium hypochlorite. In modern times, however, it is manufactured industrially by combining methane with chlorine. Small amounts of the chemical are produced naturally by marine life, such as seaweeds, and by the decomposition of plant remains in the soil. The main human sources in the environment are from the use of chlorine as a bleaching agent in paper mills, and the chlorination of drinking water. The chlorine reacts with various organic compounds to produce trichloromethane, but the amounts present in chlorinated water are tiny and are not thought to pose any risk to human health under normal circumstances."

Initiation is a process that involves changes in the DNA sequence, often, but not exclusively produced through DNA adduction by a reactive compound or reactive oxygen species (ROS). DNA adducts can be detected by 32 P-postlabeling, a method that Dr. Ramesh Gupta co-developed and refined. Today these types of assays together with other mechanistic studies provide convincing evidence that specific PCB congeners can be biotransformed to genotoxic and therefore potentially initiating metabolites.

Chlorine can be applied for the deactivation of most microorganisms and it is relatively cheap. When was chlorine discovered? Chlorine gas was presumably discovered in the thirteenth century. Chlorine (Cl 2) was first prepared in pure form by the Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1774. Scheele heated brown stone ( manganese dioxide; Mn O 2) with hydrochloric acid (HCl). When these substances are heated the bonds are broken, causing manganese chloride (Mn Cl 2 ), water (H 2 O) and chlorine gas (Cl 2) to form. Reaction meganism: Mn O 2 + 4HCl -> Mn Cl 2 + Cl 2 + 2H 2 OFigure 1: Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovered chlorine in 1774Scheele discovered that chlorine gas was water-soluble and that it could be used to bleach paper, vegetables and flowers. It also reacted with metals and metal oxides. In 1810 sir Humphry Davy, an English chemist who tested fundamental reations of chlorine gas, discovered that the gas Scheele found must be an element, given that the gas was inseperable."

Major human settlements could initially develop only where fresh surface water was plentiful, such as near rivers or natural springs. Throughout history, people have devised systems to make getting water into their communities and households, and disposing (and later also treating) wastewater more convenient. [ 1]The historical focus of sewage treatment was on the conveyance of raw sewage to a natural body of water, e.g. a river or ocean, where it would be diluted and dissipated. Early human habitations were often built next to water sources. Rivers would often serve as a crude form of natural sewage disposal. Over the millennia, technology has dramatically increased the distances across which water can be relocated.

Krypton is an actual element on the chart and it is even in the air that we breathe. It is in miniscule amounts – about 1 part per million – but it is still there. On Mars, krypton is also existent in a much smaller amount – about 0.3 parts per million. Krypton is odorless and colorless as a gas. But as a solid, krypton looks like a white crystalline substance. It is classified as a gas at room temperature and its atomic number is 36 with an atomic weight of 83.798."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Chemistry Name three sources of groundwater pollution and how do pollutants get into the water? This was a question on my science homework and i can't find the answer ANYWHERE in the book! HELP! 10 point will be given to the best detailed answer!Follow 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: About half the population in the United States relies to some extent on groundwater as a source of drinking water, and still more use it to supply their factories with process water or their farms with irrigation water. However, if all water uses such as irrigation and power production are included, only about 25 percent of the water used nationally is derived from groundwater. Still, for those who rely on it, it is critical that their groundwater be unpolluted and relatively free of undesirable contaminants. A groundwater pollutant is any substance that, when it reaches an aquifer, makes the water unclean or otherwise unsuitable for a particular purpose. Sometimes the substance is a manufactured chemical, but just as often it might be microbial contamination. Contamination also can occur from naturally occurring mineral and metallic deposits in rock and soil. For many years, people believed that the soil and sediment layers deposited above an aquifer acted as a natural filter that kept many unnatural pollutants from the surface from infiltrating down to groundwater."

"text": "History of Chopsticks It is believed that chopsticks have been around for about 5,000 years and that they were first used in China. The reason behind their initial extended use in China is quite interesting. When fuel was scarce, ancient Chinese people started to cut food into small pieces so it would cook faster and use minimal fuel. Because the pieces were so small, there was no need for a knife at the table so the bite-sized pieces could be picked up with chopsticks. Around 500 A. D. the use of chopsticks spread from China to the areas now known as Japan, Vietnam and Korea. Interestingly enough, at first in Japan, chopsticks were only used during religious ceremonies. They were connected to each other, and the implement resembled tongs. As they slowly became more popular, chopsticks began to be made from various materials and turned into slightly different shapes according to the country they were used in. The original Chinese ones were more squared and had blunt ends (a design still common today) whereas the Japanese ones were rounded and had a thinner tip. The first Japanese chopsticks were made out of bamboo and were used only in religious ceremonies."

"text": "The Lazy Susan, the Classic Centerpiece of Chinese Restaurants, Is Neither Classic nor Chinese How the rotating tool became the circular table that circled the globe Restaurateur Johnny Kan in the center, 1965 (from Connie Young Yu)By Daniel A. Grosssmithsonian.com February 21, 2014Sixty years ago, Chinese food got a makeover. Its new look—in American restaurants, at least—revolved around a single piece of furniture, the “Lazy Susan” rotating table. Through the 1950s, many Chinatown restaurants had a reputation for being dingy and cramped, but the introduction of lazy susan tables was the key element in a transformation toward refined and spacious restaurants. Chinese food wasn’t as ubiquitous back then as it is today, and it wasn’t necessarily that Chinese, either. Staples like chow mein, chop suey, and fortune cookies had vague culinary roots in Asia, but all three were invented stateside. Lazy Susans became standard fare during the 1960s. The Washington Post described a 1963 Chinese New Year celebration by highlighting crispy duck, shark’s fin, and a Lazy Susan. The New York Times described one piled with crab rolls, dumplings, and moon cakes at a celebration of the 1965 Mid-Autumn festival. Diners gathered around a big round table, chopsticks ready, and turned the Lazy Susan to bring each dish within reach. In the decades that followed, travel guides and restaurant reviews proclaimed the Lazy Susan a Chinese tradition."

For example, in tropical areas people adapt to the weather by wearing shorts and t-shirts instead of winter coats, depend on the wildlife and plants for food, and modify the land to grow crops and create farmland. In Vietnam people depend on warm, moist land for agriculture and aquaculture. They adapt to the warm environment and natural surroundings and create farms to grow crops and take care of their livestock that can be used for many purposes. People also adapt to the environment and speak Vietnamese, because it's the number one language in Vietnam. People speak other languages in Vietnam, such as French, too. Some people speak French, because Vietnam used to be governed by the French in 1887 to 1954. The people of Vietnam modify their environment by putting houses on stilts if they are in an area that floods or has typhoons. Tying to their interactions, a cultural norm of Vietnam is farming.

One of the best ways to do this is to try the foods the native people eat. They may not be to everyone's tastes, but the following foods, whilst considered weird and bizarre to some of us, are considered delicious delicacies in other countries. Although eating these foods might seem like a form of 'extreme dining' to us, they are in fact quite normal to the people who eat them.1 - Birds Nest Soup, China You wouldn't necessarily think a birds nest would be edible, but the Chinese use Swifts' nests to make this soup, known as the 'Caviar of the East'. Right now you're probably imagining a nest made out of twigs and leaves, but Swiftlets make their nests predominantly out of saliva. It's something in the saliva of the bird that makes it have this unique gelatinous, rubbery texture and it's one of the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. It's expensive because the swiftlets build the nests during breeding season over a period of 35 days and nests can only be harvested around three times a year. The nests are typically built in coastal caves and collecting them is a treacherous process involving climbing and nimble skill, which adds to the hefty price tag. With an increase in demand for birds nest soup however, manmade nesting sites are often constructed. Hong Kong and the US are the largest importers of birds' nests and a bowl of soup can cost around $30 to $100 per bowl, whilst a kilo of nest can cost between $2,000 and $10,000."

The Chinese have been wielding chopsticks since at least 1200 B. C., and by A. D. 500 the slender batons had swept the Asian continent from Vietnam to Japan. From their humble beginnings as cooking utensils to paper-wrapped bamboo sets at the sushi counter, there’s more to chopsticks than meets the eye. The fabled ruins of Yin, in Henan province, provided not only the earliest examples of Chinese writing but also the first known chopsticks—bronze sets found in tombs at the site. Capable of reaching deep into boiling pots of water or oil, early chopsticks were used mainly for cooking. It wasn’t until A. D. 400 that people began eating with the utensils. This happened when a population boom across China sapped resources and forced cooks to develop cost-saving habits. They began chopping food into smaller pieces that required less cooking fuel—and happened to be perfect for the tweezers-like grip of chopsticks. As food became bite-sized, knives became more or less obsolete. Their decline—and chopsticks’ ascent—also came courtesy of Confucius."

The eating part is easy because you can spit out the pits, but baking or cooking with cherries is another thing entirely, because you have to go the extra mile to remove all those pits beforehand. Many people rely on cherry pitters, tools designed specifically for pitting cherries. But these gadgets can range in price from cheap (often also cheap in construction) to pretty expensive. Plus do you really need a pitter taking up precious space in your kitchen drawer when you use it just once a year? We’ve assembled a slideshow of makeshift cherry pitters made from everyday items.

Predominately found in Spanish and Latin cuisines, chorizo is known for its distinctive smokiness and deep red color. Chorizo sausage can be fresh or smoked, depending on the region in which it is found. In Spain, the sausage is often fermented, cured and smoked and can be sliced and eaten without cooking, while in many Latin-American countries chorizo is a fresh sausage that must be cooked before eating and is often cooked along with other foods.

The Mexican is a fresh sausage, while the Spanish is a dried sausage that comes in long links, like salami. Andouille sausage is a spicy Cajun sausage. The French make Andouillettes, which are a different product altogether, and are not at all spicy, but are made with chitterlings. If you like those (aka chittlin's) you'll like Andouillettes.

Seafood and poultry are also grilled at parrillas, restaurants specializing in grilled foods. Particularly popular in Argentina and Colombia, the mixed grill called Parrillada Mixta can be any combination of meats and poultry. In Brazil, the churrascaria rodizio is tremendously popular. Rather than ordering a set combination of meats, diners select from the grilled meats brought around the restaurant on large skewers. When they can eat no more, they turn their table token from the yes to the no side. A Parrillada Mixta del Mar is a mixed seafood grill served with garlic butter or Tartar sauce. In Argentina, the meat is often grilled at the table, and includes various cuts of steak, lamb, pork, sausages, sweetbreads, and internal organs not often found on US menus. Some of the items used are: falda - skirt steak matambre - flank steak chorizo - spicy sausage salchicha - long, thin, slightly less spicy sausage higado - liver riñones - kidneys mollejas - sweetbreads ubre - udder chinchulin - lower intestine asado de tira - short rib steak bife de costilla- T-bone steak bife de chorizo - rib roast steak lonjas de carne de res lonjas de carne de cerdo. The meat is cooked in huge cuts on a spit over fire, and sections cut by the grill chef, or asador, to be finished to taste, either in the kitchen or at the diner's table on a portable grill."

Traditionally, it uses natural casings made from intestines, a method used since Roman times. In Europe, chorizo is a fermented, cured, smoked sausage, which may be sliced and eaten without cooking, or added as an ingredient to add flavor to other dishes. Elsewhere, some sausages sold as chorizo may not be fermented and cured, and require cooking before eating. Spanish chorizo and Portuguese chouriço get their distinctive smokiness and deep red color from dried, smoked, red peppers ( pimentón / pimentão ). [ 3]Due to culinary tradition and the high cost of imported Spanish smoked paprika, Mexican chorizo is usually made with native chili peppers of the same Capsicum annuum species, used otherwise rarely in Mexican cuisine, but as used extensively in Mexican-American restaurants. [ clarification needed] Spanish-American cuisine adds vinegar instead of the white wine usually used in Spain. ["

The local grocery stores sometimes stock fresh-ground chorizo, but more often than they just have your standard country pork sausage or Italian sausage. As a result, I finally decided to pick up a tube of this stuff: Pork? Not so much. That soylent orange color? Yeah, pretty accurate, unlike the lies the fast food giants like to tell us.

Or that your pork tenderloin were just a bit juicier and fattier? Or maybe that your flavorful, smoky ribs had a decisive snap when you bit in? Sausages are like the Voltron of the grilled-pork world, combining the best characteristics of all the other popular cuts of pork into one perfectly juicy, always-tender, well-seasoned-through-and-through, universe-saving package. ** Okay, I lied about the universe-saving part. On top of all that, sausages are inexpensive (they're made with cheap cuts, like shoulder and trimmings); are available in convenient serving-sized packages; and, even at the crummiest of supermarkets, come in at least a half dozen flavors. They really are one of the ideal foods for the backyard grill. Ideal, that is, provided you do two simple things: start with great sausages, and don't mess 'em up. That's easier said than done."

Nancy Lopez Mc Hugh sets the record straight, and shows us how to make the Mexican version. By Nancy Lopez-Mc Hugh Today I will be sharing one of my favorite Mexican recipes with you, Chorizo. When Europeans hear this word they think of a fermented cured red sausage (Spanish chorizo). But when North Americans hear chorizo they think of a spicy, crumbly meat, red sausage (Mexican chorizo). Spanish chorizo and Mexican chorizo are very different from each other in looks, texture and taste. Since the Spanish chorizo is cured it can just be sliced and eaten. Mexican chorizo must first be removed from its casings then cooked before eating. No matter what you may find on the Internet the two are not interchangeable."

"text": "\"Chow Chow Temperament: What's Good About 'Em, What's Bad About 'Em Chow Chow Temperament, Personality, Behavior, Traits, and Characteristics, by Michele Welton. Copyright © 2000-2018This dignified, serious dog with the lion-like ruff and scowling expression is a true introvert. Chow Chows must be accustomed to people at an early age so that their territorial instincts are properly discriminatory. The Chow Chow is quiet and mannerly in the home, naturally clean and easy to housebreak. He makes an impressive companion if you're the kind of owner who can admire his independent character while still enforcing household rules so that he respects you. This can be a challenge, as this breed is dominant and obstinate – definitely not the choice for a first-time dog owner. With his bulky build and his unnatural stilted gait, he is not built to be a jogging or biking companion. Daily walks will do. However, there are two coat varieties, and the Smooth-coated Chow is often more active than his Rough-coated brother. Could just be because the less-heavy coat is easier to run around in!Though he usually minds his own business unless provoked, Chow Chows can be aggressive with other dogs of the same sex."

"text": "Glaucoma What is ... ? : Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness in dogs. It is the result of increased fluid pressure within the eye (elevated intraocular pressure or IOP). If the pressure can not be reduced, there will be permanent damage to the retina and optic nerve resulting in visual impairment. Complete blindness can occur within 24 hours if the IOP is extremely elevated or can occur slowly over weeks or months if the the elevation is mild. Glaucoma is usually very painful. Glaucoma may be primary (inherited) or secondary to a number of eye disorders including luxation of the lens, tumours of the eye, and uveitis (inflammation of the eye). Primary/inherited glaucoma causes an elevation of pressure within the eye because of abnormal drainage of fluid through the iridocorneal angle. When the angle at which the iris and cornea join is wide, the glaucoma is classified as open angle. If the base of the iris is pushed forward, the glaucoma is described as narrow angle."

in Turkey, and is also known as the Kurdish Kangal dog due to its Kurdish roots. This dog is considered the national breed of Turkey and is a popular guardian dog for Turkish families. The dog is classified as a large dog and weighs about 50 to 90 kg, depending on its size. Kangal Dog Breed, Info, Nature, Training and Cost Historically, the Kangal dog has been used as a guard dog for livestock. The Kangal, which is an early mastiff breed, is usually found in a pale tan coat in a solid color. The dog has a black mask and looks like the classic mastiff. Though it is largely used for guarding homes, the Kangal dog is known as a sheep dog. The dog itself is not a herding dog, but mostly functions as a guard dog. It lives within the herds of animals it protects, and scares off all predators such as bears, wolves, and even jackals. The Kangal dog breed is almost devotional towards its family."

"text": "\"Pets Dogs Are chows naturally aggressive dogs?http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090305/ap_o... Is this a random incident or is this breed aggressive by nature?2 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The Chow Chow is usually well-mannered. Quite good with children. If they get to know cats and other household animals when they are young, they will get along with them when they are adults. They must be extensively socialized preferably when they are young. They need firm authority and training right from the start. Whether you are adopting a puppy or an adult dog, owners need to set the rules in which the dog must follow and stick to them. This very dominant breed requires a dominant owner. The owner of this breed of dog should be a calm person who is naturally firm, confident, and consistent. With such a handler, the Chow Chow can develop well. The problems arise when the dog lives with owners who do not understand how to be, and stay in the alpha position."

See patient information handout on the prevention and treatment of dog bites, written by the author of this article. Almost one half of all dog bites involve an animal owned by the victim's family or neighbors. A large percentage of dog bite victims are children. Although some breeds of dogs have been identified as being more aggressive than other breeds, any dog may attack when threatened. All dog bites carry a risk of infection, but immediate copious irrigation can significantly decrease that risk. Assessment for the risk of tetanus and rabies virus infection, and subsequent selection of prophylactic antibiotics, are essential in the management of dog bites. The dog bite injury should be documented with photographs and diagrams when appropriate."

In fact, Freud often had his Chow sit in on appointments. However, Chow Chows are not always welcome everywhere. Ranked among the most dangerous canine breeds in the United States — they have an aggressive reputation, and some companies won't insure homeowners who own Chow Chows. Despite this spotted reputation, this ancient breed is loving and warm to the people they love. Chow Chows make for loyal companions to common folks and celebrities alike. Chow Chows were bred to be working dogs. The ancient Chinese used these dogs for guarding, pulling sleds, and hunting. Like the Chinese Shar-Pei, Chow Chows were also valued for their ability to ward off evil spirits with their unusual blue-black tongues."

How realistic this image is varies greatly, as do the reasons why people seek out guard dogs. There's plenty of valid reasons why you may want a guard or protection dog in your household. A well trained guard dog is a valuable family member who will work hard to protect his/her housemates and possessions. Bringing a guard dog into your home does come with a whole lot of extra responsibility though. A Magnificent Doberman Pinscher - A Great Guard Dog What Makes A Good Guard Dog? A guard dog, loosely defined, is one that protects property and family (sometimes called family watch dogs or protection dogs ). There is the quintessential 'junk yard' dog whose only purpose is to scare off would-be intruders. This type of guard dog receives little if any training and interaction. Guard dogs can be much more sophisticated than that, and dogs with highly specialized training are readily available for purchase."

All too often I get an email asking, \"\"What kind of dog is this?\"\" In most cases the photo sent in is an adorable picture of a very young puppy. When I email back and tell them what kind of dog it is along with a link to the information page, I hear back, \"\"Oh, well are there any dogs that stay cute like that, even when the dog is full grown?\"\" You guessed it; those adorable little puppies grow up to be adult dogs. Puppies are cute, rambunctious and adorable. You can pick them up and cuddle with them. Raising puppies is similar to raising children in some respects. Puppies are babies and like human babies, they need a lot of sleep and will often fall asleep on your lap. Who can resist their adorable faces?"

The Thai Ridgeback can have as many as eight different ridge patterns formed by hair growing in the opposite direction of the rest of the coat. Patterns include whorls, circles, and even the shape of a guitar. Primitive dogs, sometimes known as pariah dogs, have distinctive physical traits, such as a moderate size, prick ears, wedge-shaped heads, wrinkled foreheads, squarish bodies with long legs, and smooth coats. The Thai Ridgeback is a classic example of one of these dogs. He comes in four colors — red, black, blue (gray), and yellow (fawn) — and he has pigmentation or spots on his tongue, similar to the Chow Chow and the Chinese Shar-Pei. Most (but not all) members of the breed have the signature ridge of hair running down their back with up to eight different ridge patterns."

In that same year, 33 people in the United States were killed by dogs. It’s difficult to say how many of those attacks were by pit bulls, because many dogs are incorrectly labeled pit bulls when they are not. Also, news reports sometimes say that the dog responsible for an attack was a pit bull, when it was instead a mixed breed. Yet these bans are still being put into effect in locations around the country. Why do people seek to ban an entire breed of dog based on the bad behavior of a few irresponsible dog owners? Remember, there were 16,000 men and women that took a life in 2007. We have no trouble understanding that just because 16,000 people committed murder that doesn’t mean that all humans are evil."

Director and writer Joss Whedon was enlisted for the film, much to the joy of comic book fans. While the bigwigs at Marvel Studios have kept quite a bit about the film under wraps, the full cast has only been announced in recent months. The Avengers: Age of Ultron cast is nothing short of impressive and many of the Marvel favorites will play a role in the film, and this is only half of it. Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark / Iron-Man)Robert Downey Jr. has been acting for over four decades with his most recognizable early roles in the ’80s cult hit Weird Science and a season of “Saturday Night Live.” His career quickly skyrocketed landing him a primetime appearance on “Ally Mc Beal.” RDJ’s career never really suffered, but he spent six years in a downward spiral brought on by drugs. He overcame his problem and has triumphed as a true comeback kid taking Hollywood by storm and even making TIME magazine’s “ TIME 100 ” in 2008. Downey has received 18 awards in his career and continues to gain the respect of fans young and old. Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver)His first major role may have been in The Illusionist, but Aaron Taylor-Johnson is most known for his lead role in Kick-Ass, an off-kilter superhero flick."

( Photo: USA TODAY/Marvel)Who's your favorite Hemsworth? It's a loaded party question, but if your answer is \"\"Chris,\"\" we've got good news for you. The actor is hitting theaters this weekend in 12 Strong, which tells the true story of modern Green Berets, the first soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan after 9/11, who discover the only way they can win a battle is by traveling by horseback through tough terrain. In celebration of the Thor actor and People's 2014 Sexiest Man Alive, we've rounded up five of his best performances available to rent or stream. If you just want more Thor: The Avengers Hemsworth is most famous for playing the strapping god of thunder in Marvel movies, and so no Hemsworth binge is complete with out at least one of those performances. However, the first two Thor standalone films ( Thor and Thor: The Dark World) are a bit bland, and the best ( Thor: Ragnarok) isn't available to stream yet. But Hemsworth does good work in the first Avengers film, where he suits up with Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. and you see some of his comedic chops come out for the first time. Rent it on Amazon, Google Play, i Tunes, Vudu or You Tube. If you loved how funny he was in Thor: Ragnarok : Ghostbusters (2016)Chris Hemsworth in 'Ghostbusters.' ("

"text": "Overview Hives on light skin Hives on dark skin Hives (urticaria) are red, itchy welts that result from a skin reaction. The welts vary in size and appear and fade repeatedly as the reaction runs its course. The condition is considered chronic hives if the welts appear for more than six weeks and recur frequently over months or years. Often, the cause of chronic hives is not clear. Chronic hives can be very uncomfortable and interfere with sleep and daily activities. For many people, antihistamines and anti-itch medications provide relief. Symptoms Angioedema Signs and symptoms of chronic hives include: Batches of red or skin-colored welts (wheals), which can appear anywhere on the body Welts that vary in size, change shape, and appear and fade repeatedly as the reaction runs its course Itching, which may be severe Painful swelling (angioedema) of the lips, eyelids and inside the throat A tendency for signs and symptoms to flare with triggers such as heat, exercise and stress A tendency for signs and symptoms to persist for more than six weeks and to recur frequently and unpredictably, sometimes for months or years Short-term (acute) hives appear suddenly and clear up within a few weeks. When to see a doctor See your doctor if you have severe hives or hives that continue to appear for several days. Seek emergency medical care Chronic hives don't put you at any sudden risk of a serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). If you do experience hives as part of a serious allergic reaction, seek emergency care."

If the answer is “yes,” then you likely have already experienced hives at some point in your life. Hives can really startle you when they suddenly appear on your skin. Most often they are due to some type of allergic reaction. Thankfully, they’re typically not long lasting and relatively harmless. But, sometimes hives can indicate a life-threatening allergic reaction, or they can become chronic. ( 1)How do you get hives? Hives are not something you can “catch” from anyone. Rather, they are your body’s response to something it ingests or experiences. The cause of hives can be a certain food, drug, infection or stress."

Professional Arts Building 205 North Broad Street, Ste 300 Philadelphia, PA 19107215-569-1111http://www.asthmacenter.com What is Urticaria? Urticaria is a very itchy rash commonly known as hives. Urticaria can affect approximately 20% of Americans at some time in their lives. Typically hives are slightly raised red or pale areas on the skin that range in size from pinpoint to many inches in diameter. They can involve any part of the skin, including the face, hand, extremities and trunk. It can occasionally occur in the mouth. Individual hives can join together to form large itchy, red areas that are called “giant hives.” A single hive can disappear within a few hours leaving the skin without a trace, only to be replaced by new hives. If Urticaria causes inflammation or discoloration of the skin that lasts more than 24 hours, then an underlying non-allergy related medical problem may be the cause. When swelling of the deep skin tissue is associated with hives, it is called angioedema."

"text": "\"Itching, swelling, and red and white welts are all signs you may have hives — or chronic idiopathic hives, if the welts appear consistently for six weeks or more and have no known cause. While any skin rash might seem to you to be an allergic reaction or hives, the reality is there are numerous skin disorders that can be mistaken for chronic hives. How to Tell if It’s Chronic Hives If you notice a persistent, itchy skin rash, seeing a dermatologist is a good first step toward confirming a diagnosis and finding relief. “ Giving a complete medical history and undergoing a physical exam are the best ways to determine what’s causing the rash or hives, and if there is a more serious skin disorder behind it,” explains Joseph L. Jorizzo, MD, a professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City and Wake Forest Baptist Health University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Hives can appear anywhere on the body, and they can change shape, travel, and disappear and reappear within short periods of time. Hives can also appear as bumps or swollen red or skin-colored welts or “wheals” with clear edges and a red center that when pressed turns white. While the cause of chronic hives is typically unknown, some common triggers include certain foods, medications, insect bites, pet dander, viral or bacterial infections, and reactions to physical stimuli like temperature and sun exposure.5 Skin Disorders Often Confused With Hives Hives can be mistaken for other skin disorders, such as: Heat rash. This skin condition occurs in hot, humid weather and can be aggravated by clothing that causes friction or blocks sweat ducts. The rash of fluid-filled blisters and bumps can be itchy and sensitive. Cases of heat rash can range from mild to severe, where the bumps contain pus or affect the deeper layer of the skin."

They are usually red, pink, or flesh-colored, and sometimes they sting or hurt. In most cases, hives are caused by an allergic reaction to a medication or food or a reaction to an irritant in the environment. In many cases, hives are an acute (temporary) problem that may be alleviated with allergy medications. Most rashes go away on their own. However, chronic (ongoing) cases, as well as hives accompanied by a severe allergic reaction, are larger medical concerns. Pictures Pictures of hives Causes What causes hives? Hives are usually caused by an allergic reaction to something that you have encountered or swallowed. When you have an allergic reaction, your body begins to release histamines into your blood."

About Hives Hives (or urticaria) are red raised bumps or welts on the skin. They can appear anywhere on the body and can look like tiny little spots or large interconnected bumps. Individual hives can last anywhere from a few hours to a week (sometimes longer), and new ones might replace those that fade. Hives that stay for 6 weeks or less are called acute hives; those that go on longer than 6 weeks are chronic hives. An allergic reaction can cause hives, as can temperature extremes, stress, infections, or illnesses. In some cases, hives are accompanied by angioedema, a condition that can cause swelling around the eyes, lips, hands, feet, or throat."

The different types of glaucoma include acute-closed-angle glaucoma, which develops suddenly and chronic open-angle glaucoma, which develops slowly over a period of years. Chronic open-angle glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma and is due to gradually increasing pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). Increased intraocular pressure inside the eye results from a malfunctioning canal that does not allow the clear fluid inside the eye to drain properly. The high pressure inside the eye can eventually damage the optic nerve leading to permanent vision loss and eventually blindness. There may be no symptoms in early stages of chronic open-angle glaucoma, but without treatment, the damage to the optic nerve result in blind spots, which progressively become bigger until blindness occurs. Acute closed-angle glaucoma is less common than chronic open-angle glaucoma and is a medical emergency."

"text": "Jump to: Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Causes | Is it curable? | How is it contracted? | Transmission | Vaccine | Prevention Hepatitis C is a serious and often-silent liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus. It is one of five main types of hepatitis (the other four are hepatitis A, B, and the less-common D and E). Hepatitis C is transmitted when an infected person’s blood enters a healthy person’s bloodstream, for example, via contaminated needles (including unsterilized tattoo needles), accidental needlesticks in healthcare workers, and less often, unprotected sex. Roughly 17,000 new cases occur in the U. S. each year. Sometimes hepatitis C is fleeting, in which case the body gets rid of it on its own within a few months of a person’s exposure to the virus. More often, though, the infection quietly lingers, causing the liver to become inflamed. When this happens, severe liver scarring, called cirrhosis, can occur. Chronic hepatitis C may lead to liver cancer, liver failure, and death."

Dunn, Jr., DVMWhat You Should Know Understanding that there are over 160 different skin disorders of dogs, some of which create chronic difficulties, is key in helping your veterinarian solve the issue at hand. As a team, you and the veterinarian should be proactive in defining the problem accurately and in a timely manner. In order to achieve satisfactory results, it will require the doctor’s expertise and perseverance coupled with your permission and financial commitment. There are few challenges in veterinary medicine more daunting than treating a patient for a long-term skin disorder. Chronic dermatitis cases take up about 10 percent of animal hospital file folders; and these patient folders tend to be the thickest due to the multiple pages of patient history, lab test results, biopsy reports, medications and supplements dispensed, and even dermatology specialist referral summaries. Reading through all that data you would find an oft-repeated theme … \"\"Control is the goal since for sure there’s no cure. \"\" Curable vs. Incurable To simplify a bit, there are just two kinds of skin disorders in dogs: curable and incurable. Veterinarians need to understand what is really happening to and within the skin before appropriate therapeutic strategies can be employed. Since it takes a new, healthy skin cell about four weeks to mature and be present near the skin surface even curable skin diseases may take weeks to resolve. For the incurable cases, controlling an ongoing skin disorder through selected diets, medications, shampoos, sprays, fatty acids and vitamin supplements is the best we can do."

Why is smoking illegal in our society today? The effects on smoking on a person are so awful and extreme, that there really is no reason it should be legal for anyone. Lung disease, cancers, heart disease, and Emphysema are just some of the thousands of harmful effects of smoking. What astonishes me is why anyone would smoke if they know how it destroys their body, and why people are keeping it legal to use in the first place. Many people say that smoking should not be illegal. Maybe for the reasons that it’s a personal freedom versus public health issue or since smoking is very addictive and people become dependent on it. But if what only comes out of smoking is pleasure, shouldn’t the government put health over pleasure? One cigarette contains over 4,000 toxic chemicals which enter your body as poisons. Since the toxins in second-hand smoke aren't filtered yet, like they were when inhaled from the cigarette, it’s even worse to breathe second-hand smoke."

Marijuana may contain more tar that tobacco-based cigarettes, but that doesn't necessarily mean the health risks of smoking it are greater.3KCLAIMMarijuana cigarettes deposit four times more tar into smokers' lungs than tobacco-based cigarettes. RATINGMixture ORIGINA somewhat misleading infographic concerning the amount of tar deposited in smokers’ lungs by marijuana is frequently shared on social media sites: The American Lung Association (ALA) does note that marijuana smoke contains four times as much tar as tobacco-based cigarette smoke: Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains cancer-causing chemicals. There are 33 cancer-causing chemicals contained in marijuana. Marijuana smoke also deposits tar into the lungs. In fact, when equal amounts of marijuana and tobacco are smoked, marijuana deposits four times as much tar into the lungs. This is because marijuana joints are un-filtered and often more deeply inhaled than cigarettes. However, although it may be true that marijuana smoke deposits more tar into a smoker’s lungs than tobacco smoke, the above-displayed photograph does not accurately depict the difference in overall harm caused to a tobacco smoker’s lungs versus a marijuana smoker’s lungs. Marijuana contains many of the same cancer-causing chemicals as tobacco smoke, but a recent study found no link between marijuana and an increased risk of lung cancer. According to Dr. Hal Morgenstern, a University of Michigan epidemiologist, this factor was likely attributable to the differences between marijuana and tobacco use: When you think about people smoking 20 to 40 cigarettes a day for 40 years, they’re smoking hundreds of thousands of cigarettes."

"text": "Djarum Cigars vs Cigarettes Posted at: 2011-12-14 @ 1:10 ( 12 ♥ )Posted by landlore Almost every clove smoker has the same question: “How do the Djarum cigars compare to the original clove cigarettes?” Djarum Blacks, Bali Hai, and Special Blend cigars versus the original cigarette versions. The epic battle! As of September, 2009, Djarum can no longer sell a clove-flavored tobacco product in America if it is wrapped in paper. This is due to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (often referred to as “The Marlboro Monopoly Act”). However, the United States defines a cigarette as “tobacco wrapped in paper”, and so the act did not attack cigars (defined as “tobacco wrapped in tobacco”). While these are loose versions of the actual definitions, you get the point. In response to the regulation, Djarum countered with the release of their cigars. But how do they compare? As a diehard clove smoker, I’ve been experimenting with the new cigars, and I’d like to report back on my own unsolicited opinions."

While smoking is down among young people and even adults in some areas, it's still unclear where much of that money has gone. Carolyn Kaster/APFifteen years after tobacco companies agreed to pay billions of dollars in fines in what is still the largest civil litigation settlement in U. S. history, it's unclear how state governments are using much of that money. So far tobacco companies have paid more than $100 billion to state governments as part of the 25-year, $246 billion settlement. Among many state governments receiving money, Orange County, Calif., is an outlier. Voters mandated that 80 percent of money from tobacco companies be spent on smoking-related programs, like a cessation class taught in the basement of Anaheim Regional Medical Center. \"\" So go ahead and take a minute or two to write down reasons why you want to quit and we'll talk about them in just a bit,\"\" Luisa Santa says at the start of a recent session. Every year since 1998, this program has been funded by money from the tobacco settlement. The five-part class is free for anyone living or working in Orange County."

Photograph: Rui Vieira/PANew Year’s Day isn’t just about hangovers, new calendars and the sobering thought of getting another year older. Every year a slew of new rules, laws and regulations come into effect. And 2016 is no different. So as of Friday, same-sex marriage becomes legal in Estonia (the first former Soviet republic to do so), certain Turkish food imports are banned in Russia and Dutch shops will no longer be able to give away free plastic bags. Stockholm and Copenhagen prepare to institute identity checks for people arriving in Sweden from Denmark - one of the major routes into the country for refugees, though the new rules don’t come into effect until Monday (Jan 4). For two weeks from Friday some people in Delhi will only be able to drive their cars every second day in an attempt to reduce pollution in the city. Vehicles affected will be allowed on the road on alternating days, depending on whether their number plates end with an even or odd number. The law, which does not apply to taxis, buses or cars powered by natural gas or to any female drivers, is an attempt to reduce congestion and pollution in a city where 1,500 cars are added to the roads each day and where air quality is ranked “very poor”. An Indian rickshaw puller passes under a bridge in Delhi, where air quality is ranked ‘very poor’."

Report this Argument Pro Smokers can be the most inconsiderate people in the world is a reason why cigarettes should be illegal. Truthfully, this bothers me severely when smokers don't have the courtesy to take their habit elsewhere, which most non-smokers, the majority of the population, find to be offensive. Most of people who smoke started when we were much younger, as a result of peer pressure (smoking parents, smoking friends, etc. ), and not mature enough to understand the possible future consequences, or not convinced of how powerful the addiction would become. When smokers must stray away from smoking, it brings on the withdrawal symptoms, including but not limited to anxiety, irritability, nervousness, and depression; these symptoms can be very intense and unforgiving in nature. which can possibly lead to suicide one may ask why not just take the steps and quit? it because of the \"\"good\"\" feeling it leaves behind."

Note that not all of these changes were listed in the front of the rulebook – Little League listed what they considered the “significant” rule changes there, but didn’t mention some less obvious ones. The list of changes is somewhat extensive this year, although a significant portion of them are actually clarifications in the form of “Approved Rulings” (marked “A. R.”) in the rulebook. Approved Rulings essentially provide instruction on how the rules should be applied, interpreted and enforced. Also note that there are downloadable versions of this information at the bottom of the page. Regulation I – Baseball and Softball The minimum age for advancing to Minor League play has been adjusted for players who participated in Tee Ball. Previously, the regulation said: NOTE 3: Participants league age 6 are permitted to advance to Minor League Coach Pitch or Machine Pitch after participation in Tee Ball for one year. The regulation now reads NOTE 3: Participants league age 5 and 6 are permitted to advance to Minor League Coach Pitch or Machine Pitch after participation in Tee Ball for one year. In addition, a corresponding change was made to Regulation III (c): Tee Ball: Local league must establish the age structure for the Tee Ball Division. Players league age 4 are eligible ONLY for Tee Ball, unless otherwise approved by the Charter Committee."

However, some of the poisons naturally occurring in cigarettes match the main ingredients in rat poison.

Lana · 1 decade ago2 0 Comment Rat Poison In Cigarettes Source (s):https://shrinke.im/a71N3heddleson · 1 year ago0 0 Comment The us government does regulate ciggarettes in any fashion. As a result, if there are toxins in the ciggarettes, they are allowed to be there. Why does this matter? Well, corporations have a fairly consistent history of being willing to poison consumers or the environment for profit, and only really stop doing it if the government forces them to, or a lot of outraged people complain. Since neither of these has occured with ciggarettes, the industry thus done nothing to prevent the accumulation of toxins in their products. As a result, ciggarettes are amongst the most toxic products Americans are exposed (I am not familiar enough with Europe to make the same generalization)."

Some slang terms refer to a particular combination, more than one combination or individual drugs. The only definitions included here are those that refer to combinations. There are no authoritative, complete and verified lists of slang terms for drug combinations. It would be almost impossible to compile one, because slang terms come and go over time and may be limited to a particular region, even a specific city. What is revealing about a list like this is the utter disregard that drug abusers have for the destructive effects of these drugs on their minds, their bodies and their futures.

"text": "Fact Sheet - Tobacco Enforcement March, 2016Fast Facts ATF is the federal law enforcement agency with primary jurisdiction over the Contraband Cigarette Trafficking Act to stop tobacco diversion or the interstate transportation, possession and sale of non-state tax paid cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. Tobacco traffickers move black market contraband cigarettes and/or other tobacco products (OTP) purchased from low tax states to be sold in higher tax states. This can be facilitated by individuals or through organized groups. ATF disrupts and dismantles criminal organizations by identifying and arresting offenders who traffic illegal tobacco products and conducts financial investigations with ongoing criminal investigations in order to seize and deny further access to assets and funds used by criminals and terrorist organizations. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is the federal law enforcement agency with primary jurisdiction over the Contraband Cigarette Trafficking Act (CCTA) to stop tobacco diversion. Congress enacted the CCTA in 1978 and amended it in 2006 with the re-authorization of the Patriot Act. The CCTA specifically addresses the interstate transportation, possession and sale of non-state tax paid cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. The CCTA combats structured and organized criminal groups that derive significant financial gain through illicit and contraband tobacco diversion. ATF’s primary goal in tobacco enforcement is to enforce the federal laws relating to tobacco diversion with a nexus to violent organized crime, and protect the revenue of the federal and state governments. Because of the diversity of crimes involved in the tobacco black market, ATF often charges defendants with violations other than, or in addition to, CCTA violations."

Unfortunately, the misuse of medications and drugs—both legal and illegal, as well as alcohol and tobacco—is a growing problem in the older population. The terms “drug abuse” or “substance abuse” is defined as the use of chemical substances that lead to an increased risk of problems and an inability to control the use of the substance. Dependence on a drug or alcohol (getting \"\"hooked\"\") is particularly dangerous in older people because older adults tend to have more harmful effects from these substances than younger people. These effects include mental problems, kidney and liver disease, and injuries from falls. Dependence can occur even in older people who have never had an addiction problem before. Many older adults take a lot of different medications every day. These drugs may interact in a harmful way, or react with alcohol to cause problems. These problems might be mistakenly thought of as normal signs of aging, but they are not."

Has anyone heard of conspiracy theories relating to smoking? I’ve aware of the corrupt lobbying in terms of tobacco and alcohol vs. hemp. I’d be interested in hearing about theories relating to depopulation or the medicinal ‘dumbing down’ of the masses e.g. does smoking have a similar effect on the mind as fluoridated water? We all know of the nasty compounds in tobacco such as formaldehyde, cyanide, lead, arsenic and benzene. We all know it’s lethal and leads to serious ramifications for our personal health. My question is as follows: Is this a simple case of elevating greed and profit over health or is it tantamount to theories concerning dangerous vaccines and fluoridated water? Is there an agenda at hand other than profit? As interested as I am in your answers, it’ll also be a great additional incentive to quit."

The article I was insulted to read by the lack of information can be viewed here, but don’t waste your time, all of that is in this article and more. M ost people can’t resist getting the details on the latest conspiracy theories, no matter how far-fetched they may seem. At the same time, many people quickly denounce any conspiracy theory as untrue … and sometimes as unpatriotic or just plain ridiculous. Lets not forget all of the thousands of conspiracies out of Wall Street like Bernie Madoff and many others to commit fraud and extortion, among many crimes of conspiracy. USA Today reports that over 75% of personal ads in the paper and on craigslist are married couples posing as single for a one night affair.

May 7th 2016There are thousands of chemical compounds found in cigarettes, and many of them are extremely hazardous to the human body; some of them even deadly. Listed here are some of the most shocking chemicals found in cigarettes, but it's important to remember that many of these same chemicals are also found in other tobacco products as well. Carcinogens Carcinogens are chemicals that cause various types of cancers. There are at least 60 different carcinogens found in cigarettes. These are just some of them: Benzene: Benzene is a chemical used in a number of industrial applications as well as being found in cigarettes. Benzene exposure significantly increases a person's risk of developing leukemia. TSNAs: This stands for tobacco-specific N-nitrosamines, which is a group of four chemicals that are some of the most potent of all the carcinogens found in cigarettes and other types of tobacco products. Formaldehyde: This is the same chemical used for embalming dead bodies, in addition to other industrial and scientific applications. This chemical is specifically linked with causing brain cancer and leukemia.3,4-Benz [a]pyrene: This is a byproduct that is created when certain materials are not fully burned."

( AFP: John F Kennedy Library)Map: United States The world's fascination with John F Kennedy's assassination, and the events that unfolded afterwards, shows little sign of abating 50 years later The Zapruder film of the moment JFK was shot as he rode in a Dallas motorcade with his wife Jackie has been replayed endlessly on television and in films, and hundreds of books have been written purporting to tell the true story of what happened. But the Kennedys were already well ensconced in popular culture before November 1963. First Lady Jackie Kennedy stepped up the celebrity stakes when she gave a personal tour of the White House for a primetime broadcast on Valentine's Day in 1962 - making Jack, Jackie, Caroline and John Jr. familiar faces and household names. And after the assassination, popular culture expressed America's collective grief and examined the disturbance the killing created in the cultural and historical narrative of the nation. Take a look at how JFK took his place in popular culture both before and after one of the most momentous events of the 20th century. JFK on film: Costner, Clint, and conspiracies Dozens of films and dramas have been made about JFK's life and death. Actors who have played the president include William Devane, Martin Sheen, Greg Kinnear and, most recently, Rob Lowe in Killing Kennedy. Photo: Kevin Costner in JFK (1991) (IMDb)The Tom Hanks-produced film Parkland - which recounts the chaotic events following the assassination - was released last month to coincide with the 50th anniversary of JFK's death. In the 1993 thriller In the Line of Fire, Clint Eastwood played the part of the last remaining active agent who was on duty in November 1963, guarding Kennedy in Dallas."

"text": "\"Cooking with vegetable oils releases toxic cancer-causing chemicals, say experts Scientists warn against the dangers of frying food in sunflower oil and corn oil over claims they release toxic chemicals linked to cancer By Robert Mendick, Chief Reporter8:13PM GMT 07 Nov 2015Follow Cooking with vegetable oils releases toxic chemicals linked to cancer and other diseases, according to leading scientists, who are now recommending food be fried in olive oil, coconut oil, butter or even lard. The results of a series of experiments threaten to turn on its head official advice that oils rich in polyunsaturated fats – such as corn oil and sunflower oil – are better for the health than the saturated fats in animal products. Scientists found that heating up vegetable oils led to the release of high concentrations of chemicals called aldehydes, which have been linked to illnesses including cancer, heart disease and dementia. Martin Grootveld, a professor of bioanalytical chemistry and chemical pathology, said that his research showed “a typical meal of fish and chips”, fried in vegetable oil, contained as much as 100 to 200 times more toxic aldehydes than the safe daily limit set by the World Health Organisation. “The human brain is changing in a way that is as serious as climate change threatens to be\"\"Professor John Stein, Oxford University’s emeritus professor of neuroscience In contrast, heating up butter, olive oil and lard in tests produced much lower levels of aldehydes. Coconut oil produced the lowest levels of the harmful chemicals. Concerns over toxic chemicals in heated oils are backed up by separate research from a University of Oxford professor, who claims that the fatty acids in vegetable oils are contributing to other health problems. Professor John Stein, Oxford’s emeritus professor of neuroscience, said that partly as a result of corn and sunflower oils, “the human brain is changing in a way that is as serious as climate change threatens to be”.• Just one steak a week 'can increase risk of bowel cancer' • Mothers 'reduce risk of ovarian cancer with every child' • The 116 things that can give you cancer • The oil guide: which to use for frying, drizzling and roasting Because vegetable oils are rich in omega 6 acids, they are contributing to a reduction in critical omega 3 fatty acids in the brain by replacing them, he believes. “If you eat too much corn oil or sunflower oil, the brain is absorbing too much omega 6, and that effectively forces out omega 3,” said Prof Stein. “ I believe the lack of omega 3 is a powerful contributory factor to such problems as increasing mental health issues and other problems such as dyslexia."

"text": "\"Hills Criteria of Causation outlines the minimal conditions needed to establish a causal relationship between two items. These criteria were originally presented by Austin Bradford Hill (1897-1991), a British medical statistician, as a way of determining the causal link between a specific factor (e.g., cigarette smoking) and a disease (such as emphysema or lung cancer). Hill's Criteria form the basis of modern epidemiological research, which attempts to establish scientifically valid causal connections between potential disease agents and the many diseases that afflict humankind. While the criteria established by Hill (and elaborated by others) were developed as a research tool in the medical sciences, they are equally applicable to sociology, anthropology and other social sciences, which attempt to establish causal relationships among social phenomena. Indeed, the principles set forth by Hill form the basis of evaluation used in all modern scientific research. While it is quite easy to claim that agent \"\"A\"\" (e.g., smoking) causes disease \"\"B\"\" (lung cancer), it is quite another matter to establish a meaningful, statistically valid connection between the two phenomena. It is just as necessary to ask if the claims made within the social and behavioral sciences live up to Hill's Criteria as it is to ask the question in epidemiology (which is also a social and behavioral science). While it is quite easy to claim that population growth causes poverty or that globalization causes underdevelopment in Third World countries, it is quite another thing to demonstrate scientifically that such causal relationships, in fact, exist. Hill's Criteria simply provides an additional valuable measure by which to evaluate the many theories and explanations proposed within the social sciences. * * * * * Hill's Criteria Hills Criteria *are presented here as they have been applied in epidemiological research, followed by examples which illustrate how they would be applied to research in the social and behavioral sciences.1."

Despite the fact that the bouncers diligently enforce an over-21 door, nobody ever cares if you smoke inside. I’m guessing because they don’t want people congregating outside the party door and blowing their cover. I can pretty much deal with the fact that when I get home, my hair and clothes reek of cigarette smoke. That’s the price I pay for getting to dance all night and drink $4 beers. And in a warehouse, it’s not so bad, with high ceilings that lets the smoke to dissipate. But the worst are the people who drunkenly smoke on the dance floor, waving their cigarettes around, blowing smoke in your face and burning you. Then they get self-righteous about it when you point out that your sweater has a cigarette shaped hole in it now, thanks to them. At this point, I would honestly prefer that you smoke a crack pipe on the dance floor. If you blew lines of coke on the table next to me, I would turn away, because it really has nothing to do with me."

Let’s consider some important clues: The location of MLK’s hotel address and room number and what days he would be staying there was a closely kept secret. Someone leaked all of this info to the press. Who would have the power to do that, and who stood to benefit except a professional assassin who was receiving inside information? Ray allegedly shot King from the window in a motel across the street from King. Yet, Ray had to either know exactly the precise time King would step out on the hotel balcony, or wait for hours looking through a window for King to come out. Either way, this is highly implausible. Ray was a life-long armed robber, and not a very good one at that, not an assassin. How could he fire with such accuracy aiming straight for King’s head and strike him dead?"

A critical shortage of organs for donation has led doctors to accept hearts, lungs, kidneys and livers from patients with cancer which have in some cases transmitted the disease to the recipient. A review found that over ten years, 15 people in Britain contracted cancer in this way and three people died. However others have developed cancer and died following transplants from what was thought to be healthy donors. Cystic fibrosis suffer, Jennifer Wederell, was 27 when she died from lung cancer, diagnosed a year after she received a double lung transplant from what turned out to be a 20-a-day smoker.

Over a ten year period, 18 recipients developed cancer in their donated organ which could have been by chance or may have been undetected at the time of transplant.

Roosevelt died unexpectedly on April 12, 1945, in Warm Springs, Ga., the White House lost no time announcing a cause of death. The 63-year-old president, the shocked and grieving nation was told, had died of cerebral hemorrhage. ( “ Last Words,” read a front-page headline in The New York Times: “ ‘I Have a Terrific Headache .’ ”) That Roosevelt died of a stroke is undisputed. But what caused it is a medical mystery that has persisted to this day, a mystery heightened by the secrecy in which he, his aides and his doctors always insisted on shrouding his health. Now a new book — “F. D. R.’s Deadly Secret,” by a neurologist, Dr. Steven Lomazow, and a journalist, Eric Fettmann (Public Affairs) — revives an intriguing theory. Look closely at Roosevelt’s portraits over his 12-year presidency. In his first two terms, there is a dark spot over his left eyebrow. It seems to grow and then mysteriously vanishes sometime around 1940, leaving a small scar."

"text": "\"Conspiracy… What does it actually mean? The term “ Conspiracy ” is fast becoming one of those meaningless, overused words due to the different perceptions as to what it actually means. The word Conspiracy has been defined as;“a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful”Or more accurately as;“The action of plotting or conspiring”But, what does Conspiracy mean? It usually entails the actions of a minority which affects the lives of the majority, for example, a group of rebels conspiring against the Crown or a government conspiring against the people. In recent times a conspiracy has become known as a theory more commonly associated with powerful actors such as corporations or governments who act in secret to gain more power at the expense of individuals. Perhaps the most accurate definition of a conspiracy is an act orchestrated by two or more people that do not benefit society as a whole. The element of secrecy is always present in a conspiracy. Terrorist attacks by organizations against the U. S. A are not really regarded as Conspiracies, simply as terrorist attacks. This is because many terrorist organizations against the U. S. A go public on Youtube and other outlets and are quite open about their intentions. If a group was to actively video or otherwise publicly advertise its conspiracy it would not be regarded as a conspiracy."

In the immediate aftermath of the meltdown, spending 300 seconds in its presence would bring certain death. Even today, it radiates heat and death, though its power has weakened. The Chernobyl disaster happened at 1:23 a.m. on April 26, 1986, when extremely hot nuclear fuel rods were lowered into cooling water, an immense amount of steam was created, which — because of the reactors’ design flaws — created more reactivity in the nuclear core of reactor number 4. The resultant power surge caused an immense explosion that detached the 1,000-ton plate covering the reactor core, releasing radiation into the atmosphere and cutting off the flow of coolant into the reactor. A few seconds later, a second explosion of even greater power than the first blew the reactor building apart and spewed burning graphite and other parts of the reactor core around the plant, starting a number of intense fires around the damaged reactor and reactor number 3, which was still operating at the time of the explosions. After the nuclear fires were finally controlled, workers scrambled to contain the invisible dangers of the failed Chernobyl core."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the United States alone, 44.5 million people are smokers. Out of them, 440 000 people die from illness related to smoking. Cigarette smoking kills more Americans than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, and homicide and illegal drugs combined. Smokers have a high incidence of lung cancer, which is the most common cause of cancer in Western countries, accounting for more deaths than those caused by prostate and breast and colorectal cancers combined. In addition to this, cigarette smoking is also implicated in cancers of the larynx, oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, pancreas, kidney, breast, bladder, and colorectal cancer. Recent estimates indicate that cigarette smoking is responsible for approximately 80–90% of lung cancer in the United States and Canada."

Even today, the conspiracy theory has a number of high-profile believers. South African President Thabo Mbeki once touted the theory, disputing scientific claims that the virus originated in Africa and accusing the U.

Others insist that the government deliberately injected gay men with the virus during 1978 hepatitis-B experiments in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Still others point to Richard Nixon, who combined the U. S. Army's biowarfare department with the National Cancer Institute in 1971.

Due to his legendary status, Marley's death hasn't gone without conspiracy theories.

At Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami, Marley passed at the age of 36 on May 11th, 1981, the New York Daily News obituary said.

In their world there is a vast sinister conspiracy that can control entire industries and professions, that supersede governments, and have almost limitless power. In the mind of a conspiracy theorist the very people who are supposed to help and protect us are instead villains exploiting the public in the most heinous way for their own profit – and not just some individuals, but entire professions. As experienced as I am examining conspiracy theories I always experience an uncomfortable cognitive dissonance when reading a new conspiracy theory – how can someone actually believe this stuff? Their brain must operate under a different set of algorithms from my own. Recently I was sent a link to this website claiming, without a hint of self-doubt, that there has been a 100 year conspiracy to lie to the world about multiple sclerosis (MS). Scientists and doctors, they assert, know that MS (and many other neurological diseases, like ALS, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease) is really caused by a Borrelia infection of the brain – Lyme disease. The story the author has constructed is a simplistic cardboard caricature with the usual villains and motives. There isn’t even any imagination in this one. Because the website is monetized I always have to suspect that the author is not even sincere – they are just packaging a standard conspiracy theory for their intended audience, in whom they have utter contempt."

"text": "\"Immigration Reform and Access to Health Care Share Recently, a bipartisan group of Senators unveiled a plan to overhaul our nation's immigration system, a key portion of which aims to provide a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States, including older immigrants. Access to affordable health care is a serious issue for lawfully present and undocumented immigrants. With limited options and restrictions under Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare, and benefits under the Affordable Care Act, many non-citizens and immigrants forego needed care including critical preventive services. [ 1] Limitations and barriers to affordable coverage options lead to higher uninsured rates and further health disparities among non-citizens. [ 2] In addition, the lack of affordable options leaves many to seek care in the costliest settings, including emergency departments, which contribute to higher overall health costs. [ 3]The current Senate bill contains provisions of concern to health advocates. [ 4] These provisions essentially put immigrants on a path to citizenship, while locking them out of the health care system. This Alert highlights some of these provisions. Access to Medicaid Low-income seniors and people with disabilities rely on Medicaid. Medicaid is the primary payer of long-term services and supports, and is a critical source of coverage for vulnerable populations."

If parents have no money to support a child then the primary care-giver can apply for a Child Support Grant (CSG). A primary care-giver is any person who takes responsibility for the daily needs of a child and who may or may not be related to the child. Child Support Grants The Child Support Grant is there to provide for the basic needs of South African children up to the age of 14 years whose parents or primary care-givers are not able to provide sufficient support because of unemployment or poverty. The amount of the grant is currently R290 per month for every child under the age of 15 years. For up-to-date information on grant amounts click here . It does not matter whether you are the parent of the child or not, or whether the parents of the child are living together, whether they are married or not married, whether either of the parents is in prison or not, or whether the husband or wife receives another state grant. Who can apply for a Child Support Grant? A primary care-giver can apply for the Child Support Grant on behalf of a child or children in his or her care. The primary care-giver must be older than 16 years old."

The scheme covers New Zealand citizens, residents and visitors for acute accident-related hospital treatment, and a wide range of other services approved by ACC. Claims for ongoing treatment must be accepted by ACC, and part charges may apply. While ACC covers visitors’ accident-related treatment, comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended to cover repatriation expenses and claims not accepted by ACC. To find out more about the scheme, visit the ACC website. Acute and elective care What ‘acute’ and ‘elective’ care can ineligible people access? Anyone requiring acute services will be able to receive the services they require. If they are not eligible, they can expect to be invoiced for the services they received."

In order to provide quality health care services to needy seniors, many public and private organizations award grant funding to assist in the operation of senior day care centers. Once your business plan is set, you can start applying for grant funding for your senior care start up. National Adult Day Services Association The National Adult Day Services Association is a private organization that supports the development and practical use of senior day care services across America. Senior day care start ups can benefit from many grant-funded resources by enrolling as a member of NADSA. These benefits include reduced price publications and training materials for senior day care business workers, participation in NADSA online seminars and teleconferences as well as admission to the organization's annual conference. Administration on Aging The Administration on Aging is an agency coordinated by the U. S. Department of Health & Human Services that provides grant funding through many programs targeted to help senior citizens. One such program is the Supportive Services and Senior Centers Program. This program provides money to states and territories to be used toward programs that improve transportation access, in-home personal care, legal services and mental health services for the elderly. In 2010, the Administration on Aging provided $368,348,000 for this program alone."

"text": "The cost of attending college has more than doubled since 1980. Public universities now average $12,283 annually and private universities have exceeded $31,233, according to the United States Department of Education. Community colleges had once been considered the affordable way to attend college, but even their price tags have risen over the years. Even with college savings plans, the average citizen finds it difficult to come up with that much money for four years in a row. This situation has led to many students taking out immense student loan debt, stretching their college attendance over five years or more, or even dropping out of school altogether. Fortunately, students have access to a funding source that can help them graduate from college quickly and possibly be debt-free at the end. Benefit of Student Grants A student grant is essentially free money that is given to a student to help with college expenses. Grant awards range from a few hundred dollars to “full ride” packages that pay for the entire cost of an education. The majority of student grants fall between $500 to $2000. Each year these types of grants provide significant benefits to millions of people across the United States."

I observe that at times the opposition acts in cross-purposes. The confusion I believe primarily emanates from not having a common understanding of the essential doctrine of democracy and the rule of law. Thus, now and then, it may be necessary to read and review the theoretical concepts of democracy and the rule of law free from our biases and prejudices of the Eritrean national liberation struggle.

Changes By Administrative Action1.) Employee reporting: The IRS announced that, contrary to statutory language, it was delaying the ACA requirement that employers must report to their employees on their W-2 forms the full cost of their employer-provided health insurance. ( Oct. 12, 2010)2.) Medicare Advantage patch: The administration ordered an advance draw on funds from a Medicare bonus program to provide payments to Medicare Advantage plans. This temporarily forestalled payment cuts called for in the ACA that could have led to cuts in benefits and an early exodus of MA plans from Medicare. The GAO later said the administration did not have authority for its action. ( Nov. 11, 2010)3.) Tax credits for unlawful immigrants: Section 36B of the ACA grants credits to some non-citizens with low-incomes only if they are themselves lawfully present in the U. S. and cannot obtain Medicaid coverage. IRS regulations contradict the statute and allow subsidies if “the taxpayer or a member of the taxpayer’s family is lawfully present in the United States,” and “the lawfully present taxpayer or family member is not eligible for the Medicaid program.” ("

"text": "\"Sam Morningstar, Author of Combat Veterans' Forum Updated Jun 30, 2017 · Author has 2k answers and 7.9m answer views See, this is precisely why I get on Quora to discuss the Native issues. There tends to be so many misconceptions or half-truths when it comes to Native Americans. I don’t think this is necessarily willful misrepresentation, but there is a heavy reliance on stereotypes. And the larger context is harder to arrive at when you are just doing a cursory Google search and getting snippets of information. In that case, you might come up with stories or statistics that show Native as living in dysfunctional poverty or rolling in money. And the latter stereotype either assumes it is some “special rights” ( to run casinos with no oversight or regulation) or it is ”government money” and benefits given to Native Americans…just for being Native. Even the question itself has this built-in, or inherent, flaw – the assumption that there are financial benefits associated with being Native American. There are very few differences in “benefits” that a tribal member might receive as compared to a non-Native American US citizen. This is to say that all social welfare programs are pretty much the same. There are poverty or income thresholds and financial need requirements."

In addition to the moves already taken to consolidate agencies, streamline services and better utilize taxpayer dollars, I have named Amy Fecher as Chief Transformation Officer (CTO). I have no doubt that her experience will provide valuable insight and direction as we take these first steps to reach our goals to increase savings, modernize operations, and reduce excessive bureaucracy. This effort will require the assistance of all state agencies, commissions, and boards. I will prioritize efficiencies such as formulating a statewide strategic plan, centralizing state services and increasing utilization of online services and citizen participation. Increasing efficiencies to conserve state resources is the best way to return money to the pockets of hard-working taxpayers and deliver better state services to Arkansans. As we turn our focus more and more on creating leaner government services in Arkansas, I am issuing these Guidelines and Instructions for Preparing and Submitting Agency Strategic Plans along with my Strategy for Arkansas. Under my leadership and the steadfast guidance of Ms. Fecher, I am confident that these agency strategic plans will begin the process of transforming Arkansas to an efficient and responsive state government tied to my core values of leadership, efficiency, accountability, integrity, results, and transparency. In the words of Henry Ford, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.” When we work together, there is nothing our state can’t accomplish."

"text": "\"Home > Financial Aid > College Scholarships > Scholarships By Grade Level > Graduate Scholarships Graduate Scholarships While less common than undergraduate scholarships, scholarships for graduate students are available. Graduate students rely heavily on fellowships or assistantships - especially in high-need areas like nursing or teaching - but these aren’t available to everyone and don’t always cover a graduate student’s living expenses. Thankfully, a number of scholarship providers are willing to help graduate students finish the last leg of their educational journeys by providing a bit of extra funding. Consider all of the options you already would when you were funding your undergraduate education (essay scholarships, merit-based awards, student and career-specific scholarships, etc.) but expand your search to organizations and sponsorship opportunities. Already lodged in a profession? Find out what incentives your employer offers for employees pursuing an advanced degree: Many employers offer some form of tuition reimbursement and while you’ll probably need to remain at that company for some time once you’ve complete your graduate degree, it could be a good deal if you were planning to do so anyway. Do your research, because you don’t necessarily need to add to that student loan debt you incurred during your undergraduate career. Check out our examples of scholarships and financial aid opportunities targeting graduate students and for more information on scholarships based on other criteria, conduct a free scholarship search because many scholarships are open to both undergraduates and graduates. College-Based Awards Colleges know graduate school is expensive and many are willing to help."

"text": "\"Universal Health Care in the USLora Cicconi and Kerri Strug Poverty & Prejudice: Social Security at the Crossroads May 25, 1999Compared to other Western countries, the United States spends more per capita on health care than any other nation. In 1990, national expenditures for health care were more than 40 percent more than in Canada, whose spending was second highest. Despite the enormous expense of health care in the United States, the general standards of health, such as life expectancy and infant mortality, are not as high as those in countries which spend less. Costs are enormous, yet Americans do not fare better, and often fare worse, than citizens in countries which spend substantially less on health care. Currently, the U. S. has a health care system based on insurance coverage. The majority of the population is covered by private/employer-based insurance. Generally the employer pays a major part of the insurance premium and the individual pays a deductible when the policy is used. If there are losses, the company and employee share the burden (coinsurance.) The obvious limitation of employer based insurance is that those who are unemployed, elderly, or disabled are not covered. The government deals with this insufficient coverage through public insurance programs developed under the Social Security Amendments of 1965."

Some tips and limitations: Be aware that few, if any, organizations will pay for ongoing medication that pets will need for extended periods of time. It is unlikely that any one organization or program will pay for expensive procedures in their entirety. So, be sure to contact as many sources as possible. The grants may be very small, but they can add up if you get help from a number of sources. Try negotiating with your veterinary clinic for a better price or the ability to finance the cost of care over time. Also, consider getting price comparisons from other providers."

This will result in permanent residence after a period of about 2 years. There have been a number of changes to partner visas in the last few years. Many of these changes are beneficial to applicants - particularly the introduction of registered relationships and more options for people onshore after refusal of other visa applications. This article goes through some of the more interesting opportunities for people considering partner visas. What Kinds of Relationship It is possible to apply for a partner visa if you are in one of the following types of relationship with an Australian citizen, permanent resident or Eligible NZ citizen : 1. Legally Married You can be married either in Australia or overseas. If married overseas, this would generally be recognised in Australia providing you are both over 18 years of age and of opposite sexes. 2.

The Declaration of Independence asserts the creed of the American people, as it declares that all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Civil liberties are not gifted by governmental action, as they are rights of birth. The government cannot take away or change these rights by making or doing away with legislation. Civil liberties are different from civil rights, though the difference is sometimes difficult to grasp. To explore this concept, consider the following civil liberties definition. Definition of Civil Liberties Noun Personal freedoms that cannot be taken away or reduced by the government without due process. The right to do or say things that are not illegal without being obstructed by the government. Origin Early 17th Century What are Civil Liberties Many people around the globe hold the belief that every person bears certain rights and freedoms, as granted by God, or simply by virtue of being human. Civil liberties means having freedom from arbitrary interference in one’s pursuits, such as freedom of expression, freedom to practice religion, or freedom to earn a living."

The Age of Enlightenment and the American Revolution, however, led more Americans to equate the slaves� right to freedom with the colonists� demand for independence. Consequently, Northern states began the gradual emancipation of their slaves. Although the federal government prohibited slavery in the Northwest Territory in 1787 and banned the trans-Atlantic slave trade in 1808, antislavery agitation dropped off due to the increasing profitability of Southern slavery. Most remaining, antislavery sentiment became channeled through the African Colonization Society, a group founded in 1816 to return blacks to their home continent. Birth of the Movement The modern American abolition movement emerged in the early 1830s as a by-product of religious revivalism popularly known as the Second Great Awakening. Revivalistic tenets led abolitionists to see slavery as the product of personal sin and to demand emancipation as the pr ice of repentance. Abolitionists recognized that slavery received moral support from racial prejudice, and they lobbied to overturn the nation�s racially discriminatory practices. During the 1830s, abolitionists tried to reach and convert a mass audience. The American Anti-Slavery Society, founded in 1833, attracted tens of thousands of members with lecturing agents, petition drives, and a wide variety of printed materials."

Shortly after the Imperial Japanese Navy launched its attack on Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, which authorized the removal of individuals of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast from their homes and their mandatory imprisonment in internment camps, but Korematsu instead challenged the orders and became a fugitive. The legality of the internment order was upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States in Korematsu v. United States; this ruling has never been explicitly overturned. [ 1] Korematsu's conviction for evading internment was overturned four decades later after the disclosure of new evidence challenging the necessity of the internment, evidence which had been withheld from the courts by the U. S. government during the war. [ 2]To commemorate his journey as a civil rights activist posthumously, \"\" Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution \"\" was observed for the first time on his 92nd birthday, January 30, 2011, by the state of California, the first such commemoration for an Asian American in the United States.

We always stand ready to challenge abuse of government power at the national, state, local and even school board level. The ACLU has grown from a roomful of civil liberties activists at its inception to an organization of more than 500,000 members and supporters with a national office in New York City, 54 state affiliate offices nationwide and a legislative office in Washington, DC. No fight for civil liberties ever stays won”– Roger Baldwin, founder of the national ACLUThe defense of civil liberties knows no political party bounds, which is why the ACLU remains nonpartisan. We have joined in coalitions with conservatives and progressives alike on a wide array of issues—from reforming the intrusive powers of the Patriot Act to blocking infringements upon our First Amendment rights. The ACLU is the premier civil rights organization in our country, earning widespread respect and admiration for its consistent defense of constitutionally based principles. We work in the courts, in the state and federal legislatures, and at the grassroots level to defend the Constitution wherever it is threatened. ACLU of Delaware The ACLU-DE, the local affiliate of the national ACLU, was established in 1961. We are a first resort when the government threatens our rights in Delaware and a last hope when we are deprived of our liberties. ACLU-DE has played an important role in Delaware history, especially in the arena of education: In 1975, ACLU-DE, under the leadership of Gerry Kandler, prevailed on the State of Delaware to provide children with physical and intellectual handicaps full access to education."

Still, the U. S.

Most of those rights are spelled out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, as well as the Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court has also recognized other fundamental rights that aren’t specifically mentioned in the Constitution or its amendments (more on that below). The Constitution generally discusses individuals’ rights by saying what the government can’t do. We’ve briefly summarized the most important constitutional rights for individuals below. ("

"text": "\"SOME HIGHLIGHTSWHY WE DO WHAT WE DOHOW WE DO ITIn the years following World War I, America was gripped by the fear that the Communist Revolution that had taken place in Russia would spread to the United States. As is often the case when fear outweighs rational debate, civil liberties paid the price. In November 1919 and January 1920, in what notoriously became known as the “Palmer Raids,” Attorney General Mitchell Palmer began rounding up and deporting so-called radicals. Thousands of people were arrested without warrants and without regard to constitutional protections against unlawful search and seizure. Those arrested were brutally treated and held in horrible conditions. In the face of these egregious civil liberties abuses, a small group of people decided to take a stand, and thus was born the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU has evolved in the years since from this small group of idealists into the nation’s premier defender of the rights enshrined in the U. S. Constitution. With more than 1.75 million members, nearly 300 staff attorneys, thousands of volunteer attorneys, and offices throughout the nation, the ACLU of today continues to fight government abuse and to vigorously defend individual freedoms including speech and religion, a woman’s right to choose, the right to due process, citizens’ rights to privacy and much more. The ACLU stands up for these rights even when the cause is unpopular, and sometimes when nobody else will. While not always in agreement with us on every issue, Americans have come to count on the ACLU for its unyielding dedication to principle."

Federalists, like Alexander Hamilton, believed that a bill of rights was unnecessary. The states ratified ten of the amendments in 1791. How does the Bill of Rights provide for individual liberties? The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to limit governmental power over the individual, placing personal liberty beyond the reach of government. Each individual's rights to life, liberty, and property, due process of law, and equal protection under the law are not subject to majority rule.

Too much worry about our freedoms is better than too little, particularly in the face of a government shrouded in wartime secrecy after the Sept. 11 attacks. But there is also a place, a decade later, for sober reflection. By historic standards, the domestic legal response to 9/11 gave rise to civil liberties tremors, not earthquakes. And even those changes were largely a result of reordered law enforcement priorities rather than fundamental shifts in the law. Consider the USA Patriot Act, which was short for this Orwellian mouthful: Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001. The law, more than 300 pages long, sailed through Congress seven weeks after the attacks with scant dissent. It quickly became a sort of shorthand for government abuse and overreaching. The Patriot Act undeniably expanded the government’s surveillance powers and the scope of some criminal laws."

"text": "\"“Civil libertarian” is a term that is thrown around regularly. Politicians from all places in the political spectrum have been deemed civil libertarians. Barack Obama, Rand Paul, Bob Barr, and Antonin Scalia have all been granted the title at one point or another. But not all of the political figures associated with the moniker value the same principles or share the same perspective on the government’s role in society. The excessive use of the term has muddled its meaning to the point of near futility. Even in political theory, debate over the inherent meaning and application of the philosophy continues. Below is the Sparknotes version of the philosophy, some basic definitions, and important distinctions to help clarify the term “civil libertarian” for everyday use. What are Civil Liberties? Civil libertarianism is a philosophy that supports the protection of civil liberties. It’s most logical to start by breaking down, describing and qualifying these two words."

"text": "Home Document Archive Document Timeline Print PDFTHOMAS HOBBES: FROM CLASSICAL NATURAL LAW to MODERN NATURAL RIGHTSRobert P. Kraynak, Colgate University For many centuries, natural law was recognized as a type of higher law that spelled out universal truths for the moral ordering of society based on a rational understanding of human nature. As a higher moral law, it gave citizens a standard for determining if the written laws and customs of their nation or any other nation were just or unjust, right or wrong, humane or inhumane. Today, natural law is not discussed very much, at least not explicitly. When mentioned at all, it is usually rejected as dangerous because it undermines existing laws or as intolerant because it is contrary to “multiculturalism,” which requires the non-judgmental acceptance of other cultures. This negative view of natural law can be traced to Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679), whose writings are largely devoted to showing the anarchy and civil wars caused by appeals to natural and divine laws above the will of the sovereign. Hobbes rejected traditional higher law doctrines and encouraged people to accept the established laws and customs of their nations, even if they seemed oppressive, for the sake of civil peace and security. His critique has been a leading cause of the demise of natural law and the acceptance of positive law as the only reliable guide for political authority. One may be equally surprised to learn, however, that many people today embrace a different (and seemingly contradictory) view of natural law, and this too is traceable to Thomas Hobbes. For example, when conscientious people are confronted with violations of human rights—as in religious theocracies that violate women’s rights or in countries that allow sweatshops to trample on worker’s rights—they feel compelled to protest the injustice of those practices and to change them for the better. The protesters usually deny that they are following natural law, but they obviously are asserting a belief in universal moral truths that are grounded in human nature—in this case, the natural equality of human beings that underlies human rights."

"text": "Chapter 4Civil Liberties Chapter Study Outline Conflict and Compromise in American Politics Civil liberties are the political freedoms that protect citizens from government abuse, and they include the right to assemble, to protest, to worship freely, and to keep certain matters private. Frequently, security or civic issues are at odds with these rights, and the Supreme Court often has to make difficult decisions regarding the trade-offs between security and liberty. As a result, there are limits to our civil liberties. For example, the freedom of speech does not allow us to yell “Fire!” in a movie theater when there is no fire. The Origins of Civil Liberties Origins of the Bill of Rights During the Constitutional Convention, one of the concerns among the Antifederalists was that the federal government would be too strong and would restrict the civil liberties of the country. In order to assuage the fears of the Antifederalists, the first Congress ratified ten protections of individual liberties, which became the first ten Amendments to the Constitution. A key provision in the Bill of Rights is that these protections are only guaranteed from the national government; they do not apply to the states. This view was upheld by the Supreme Court for almost eighty years—from constitutional ratification in 1789 until the Civil War ended in 1865. Selective Incorporation and the 14th Amendment Following the Civil War, Congress passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments (known as the Civil War Amendments), which dramatically influenced how the Bill of Rights was applied to the states."

Natural Rights are a part of Natural Law and, therefore, come from our Creator. But civil rights are a part of human law and are created by man. Thus, they are not and can never be equivalent. We need to start this post by defining a Natural Right. Fortunately, I have already written a post in which I derive and explain the definition of a Natural Right. If you have not already read Defining Natural Rights, you should do so now, before continuing with the remainder of this post. This post was written with the assumption that you have been following my explanation of natural rights from the beginning, so, if you have not read my post on the definition of a Natural Right, it is unlikely you will be able to fully understand the discussion that follows.

"text": "\"View PDFSummary and Keywords Separation of church and state has long been viewed as a cornerstone of American democracy. At the same time, the concept has remained highly controversial in the popular culture and law. Much of the debate over the application and meaning of the phrase focuses on its historical antecedents. This article briefly examines the historical origins of the concept and its subsequent evolutions in the nineteenth century. Keywords: Separation of church and state, disestablishment, religious liberty, establishment of religion, First Amendment Religion and Government are certainly very different Things, instituted for different Ends; the design of one being to promote our temporal Happiness; the design of the other to procure the Favour of God, and thereby the Salvation of our Souls. While these are kept distinct and apart, the Peace and welfare of Society is preserved, and the Ends of both are answered. By mixing them together, feuds, animosities and persecutions have been raised, which have deluged the World in Blood, and disgraced human Nature. 1John Dickinson, one of the Founding Fathers, wrote the above statement in 1768 on the advent of the American Revolution. As a Pennsylvanian, Dickinson was not criticizing his colony’s religious establishment (there was none); rather he was commenting on one of the rising issues of the day: the proper relationship between religion and government in a society that increasingly identified with the principles of natural rights and rationalism originating in the Enlightenment. The immediate context was a controversy over a proposal to appoint the first American bishop of the Church of England, the presumptive established church for the British American colonies."

In the early 1900’s, morphine and other opiates were sold as ‘tonics’ (along with other drugs that are now ‘controlled substances’). In the 1920’s doctors treated addicts by prescribing narcotics to relieve their withdrawal. Clinics existed with the aim of treating and/or preventing opiate withdrawal. Public outcry consistent with the attitudes of the time eventually led to the closing of these clinics, and a ban on prescribing opiates to treat opiate withdrawal. That was the state of affairs until the early 1970’s, when congress passed the law allowing methadone clinics to operate. Most people don’t realize that doctors are allowed to prescribe pretty much anything for anything. There are very few rules that regulate medical care; the way doctors practice is kept in line mostly by physicians’ desire to do help patients, coupled with physicians’ fear of being sued for malpractice. One confusing issue for patients is ‘FDA indications’ for medications; a pharmaceutical company will seek FDA indication for a medication so that they can advertise the medication for that use, but doctors can use the medication whether or not it is ‘FDA indicated’."

D.) degree is the degree that all pharmacists now earn. However, not every pharmacist in the pharmacy world has a Pharm. D. In fact, the education of pharmacists has evolved as the profession has transformed. The Pharm. D. degree is a relatively new standard in the profession. As someone who works in a community pharmacy setting, where more pharmacists have a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (B. S. Pharm) rather than a Pharm.

Of course, these jobs are not obtained the most easily. On average, the higher a salary is, the more education and experience is required. Find out which healthcare careers offer the highest salaries.1 Advanced Practice Nurses Hero Images/Digital Vision/Getty Images Not all nursing careers are lucrative, but the more advanced nursing roles which require a minimum of a master's degree can pay extremely well. Advanced practice nurses include nurse practitioners, CRNAs (nurse anesthetists), and clinical nurse specialists, among others. Not only are these nursing careers very well-paying, they also offer a rewarding level of clinical authority which enables the advanced practice nurse to have a significant impact on patients directly and take on more of a leadership role within the health treatment team. Advanced practice nurses earn from $80,000 to $150,000 annually, on average, depending on the type of nursing role and level of experience. More2 Physicians and Surgeons Caiaimage/Robert Daly/Getty images Physicians and surgeons are also high earners in the healthcare field.

"text": "\"Justin Elavod, studied at The University of British Columbia Answered Jun 10, 2014 · Upvoted by Teresa Garlick, Pharm D Pharmacy, Western New England University (2018) and Shane Bogusz, works at Pharmacy Pharmacists and pharmacies serve two purposes: 1. Dispensing prescriptions 2. Clinical (ie: non-dispensing) work Pharmacists are medication experts. The clinical aspect of a pharmacist's job is generally thankless work. We're making sure that different medications don't interact, or whether the doses need to be adjusted based on kidney function. Unfortunately, this type of work is often seen as \"\"why is it taking so long to fill my prescription?\"\" and is likely a by-product of putting pharmacies in places like grocery stores, Wal-Mart, etc. I digress.. I've met some brilliant doctors, some who know what they prescribe as well or better than a pharmacist would. However, it is not unreasonable to say that the average pharmacist knows much more about drugs than the average doctor. I wouldn't feel very good about health care in a system where a pharmacy couldn't act as a gatekeeper between patients and harmful drug interactions."

"text": "How to become a Clinical Pharmacist Overview Many people have come in contact with a retail pharmacist – the man or woman in the white coat behind the desk at the drug store, who helps with medication distribution or answering questions about over-the-counter medicine. A clinical pharmacist plays a slightly different role, by working in a healthcare setting and interacting directly with physicians and other health professionals to coordinate medications for patients. What is a Clinical Pharmacist? A clinical pharmacist has many duties in the care and coordination of a patient’s health. They collaborate with care professionals, make decisions about medications and interact directly with patients. Among the duties of a clinical pharmacist, the American College of Clinical Pharmacy lists the following: Assess the status of a patient’s health problems and suggest prescribed medications to meet patient needs Evaluate progress and effectiveness of current medications Consult with physicians and other providers regarding medication therapy Instruct patients on the best way to take medications Develop proper medication therapy, using their specialized knowledge of medications, including adverse effects and drug interactions. The clinical pharmacist has higher level of decision-making functions than that of a retail pharmacist. They are directly involved in choosing and dosing of medication, and evaluating their effectiveness for patients. While a retail pharmacist received information already spelled-out by a physician, the clinical pharmacist may be called upon for consultations, to look over patient charts, or even do patient evaluations, in order to recommend a course of action. The clinical pharmacist influences patient care at three levels."

While this can be an extremely stressful work environment due to the sensitivity and accuracy required, the knowledge of being able to help others in their recovery can make the difference. Taking the time to explore a career in oncology pharmacy may be more interesting than it seems. If you like science, chemistry, and biology, this may be a smart and lucrative career choice. What does an oncology pharmacist do? An oncology pharmacist has a number of roles to fill. They usually work specifically in the administration of medicines to cancer patients in their treatment plans. They use their judgment in the dispensation of these medicines, and are responsible for working with other physicians and medical professionals in dispensing information on the latest drugs available for use. An oncology pharmacist can also check on patients to see how the medicines are working, and supervises residents in the department when employed on a senior level. Ultimately, they are responsible for the recommendation, design, implementation, monitoring and modification of plans to treat patients with terminal diseases."

Why clouds are red/orange during sunset? Do the clouds at different heights turn red during sunset simultaneously? What are the colors of clouds at night? Written by: KOK Mang-hin, Marco March 20111. Why clouds are white? A water droplet or ice crystal inside clouds is sufficiently large to strongly scatter light of all colours (different wavelengths). Since light undergoes multiple scattering between numerous water droplets or ice crystals in all direction (Figure 1) and they are weakly absorbing to visible light of all wavelengths, the scattered light of all wavelengths constitutes the white color of clouds (Figure 2) that we observe."

"text": "See also ALS technical notes. Light scattering demonstration in Flight Gear A surprisingly large fraction of whatever we get to see from an airplane is light scattered somewhere in the atmosphere. This includes the obvious phenomena like the blue color of the sky and the golden-red sunrise and sunset light, but also any form of haze and fog, for instance the effect that faraway objects loose their colors and fade into blue-white. In a typical situation, around 70% of the color values of the scene outside the cockpit are not determined by the color of the scenery textures but by sunlight and haze colors. Having a detailed model of atmospheric light scattering is therefore important for a realistic visual experience in a flight simulation. However, atmospheric light scattering physics cannot actually be solved in real time. Imagine looking into the sky. The light you see could have been scattered into that ray at any distance along the ray, but part of the light which has been scattered in has already been scattered out again if the in-scattering point is too far away. Even for a single ray, the problem thus requires two nested integrals to determine the observed light as the correct balance between averaged in-scattering vs. out-scattering given the density of scattering centers in the atmosphere along the ray. Allowing for multiple scattering leads to even more nested integrals."

This subject can be a confusing one since many of the photos released by NASA actually show false color rather than the true color of the planet. These false color images may be taken through special filters or in different wavelengths from visible light to bring out greater detail than can be seen otherwise. That being said, let's pretend that we're aboard an interstellar cruiser taking a trip through the solar system and describe what we would see... Mercury is one of the most mysterious planets within our solar system because it is so close to the Sun. The Sun creates a strong glare that makes it very difficult for astronomers here on Earth to take clear photos of the small planet. Only one spacecraft has taken a close-up look at Mercury so far. NASA's Mariner 10 performed three fly-bys of the planet during 1974 and 1975 on a carefully planned trajectory that allowed the probe to capture images of Mercury's lighted hemisphere. Unfortunately, Mariner 10 was only able to photograph about 45% of the planet's surface, so over half of the planet has never been seen by human eyes to date.

The quality of the images was fair/good and the way it handled material textures was good, in fact in some cases better than Revit. But then the cloud handled some things a little oddly. Looming deadlines are the modus operendi for Architects. Unfortunately for us, renderings usually take time and unless you have workstations set aside for rendering, you've got to juggle your time in Revit and your time rendering such that you can accomplish what you need in the nick of time.

The Sun, about a minute before sunset, Portugal, October 2007Sunset or sundown is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the horizon as a result of Earth's rotation. The Sun will set exactly due west at the equator on the spring and fall equinoxes, each of which occurs only once a year. Subcategories of twilight The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the trailing edge of the Sun's disk disappears below the horizon. Near to the horizon, atmospheric refraction causes the ray path of light from the Sun to be distorted to such an extent that geometrically the Sun's disk is already about one diameter below the horizon when a sunset is observed. Sunset is distinct from twilight, which has three phases, the first being civil twilight, which begins once the Sun has disappeared below the horizon, and continues until it descends to 6 degrees below the horizon; the second phase is nautical twilight, between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon; and the third is astronomical twilight, which is the period when the Sun is between 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. [ 1]Dusk is at the very end of astronomical twilight, and is the darkest moment of twilight just before night. [ 2] Night occurs when the Sun reaches 18 degrees below the horizon and no longer illuminates the sky. Locations north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle experience no sunset or sunrise on at least one day of the year, when the polar day or the polar night persists continuously for 24 hours."

Dew point temperature: the temperature to which moist air is cooled at constant pressure and at constant water vapor to reach saturation with respect to water. It is not directly measured, rather it is obtained from measurements of the dry-bulb temperature and the wet-bulb depression. The dew point temperature differs from the wet-bulb temperature, which is determined by inducing evaporative cooling. The wet-bulb temperature is higher than dew point temperature except at saturation where both temperatures are the same as the ambient temperature. The dew point temperature is a measure of humidity, and therefore, it is an comfort index. It becomes a factor for human health when the dew point temperature exceeds 20ûC (68ûF). The four categories of apparent temperature ranges in heat index correspond to the following dew point temperature ranges: i) 80û or higher ii) 76û - 80ûF, iii) 72û - 76ûF, iv) 68û - 72ûF.

Of the two, only Tanichthys micagemmae (Vietnamese White Cloud) is available in the aquarium trade. The area that the White Cloud Mountain Minnow originated from has undergone significant changes over the years, which has negatively impacted its habitat. It has become a popular tourist area, with parks, hotels, and public transport. This had a deleterious effect on the habitat of this fish, and slowly this species disappeared. Beginning in 1980, the species was not seen in nature for over twenty years, leading to the belief that it had become extinct. Fortunately, a small number of native populations have been discovered in isolated locations within the coastal province of Guangdong and Hainan Island in China, as well as in Quảng Ninh province in Vietnam.

Anne Helmenstineby Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph. D. Updated March 24, 2017Can you tell by looking at this plume from this factory whether it is releasing smoke or steam? Both smoke and steam can appear as clouds of vapor. Here's a closer look at what steam and smoke are and the difference between them. Steam Steam is pure water vapor, produced by boiling water. Sometimes water is boiled with other liquids, so there are other vapors with the water. Ordinarily, steam is completely colorless. As steam cools and condenses it becomes visible as water vapor and can produce a white cloud."

If Jupiter were hollow, more than one thousand Earths could fit inside. It also contains two and a half times the mass of all the other planets combined. It has a mass of 1.9 x 10 27 kg and is 142,800 kilometers (88,736 miles) across the equator. Jupiter possesses 62 known satellites. The four largest are Callisto , Europa, Ganymede and Io, and were named after Galileo Galilei who observed them as long ago as 1610. The German astronomer Simon Marius claimed to have seen the moons around the same time, but he did not publish his observations and so Galileo is given the credit for their discovery. Jupiter has a very faint ring system, but is totally invisible from the Earth. ( The rings were discovered in 1979 by Voyager 1.)"

We are most sensitive to yellow light, which is right in the middle of the visible spectrum. This is biological sensitivity, due to our vision adapting to sunlight. We are the least sensitive to violet light, followed by blue light. These wavebands are the highest frequency visible light (short wavelength). If we look at different colors of light, all with exactly the same light intensity, yellow appears the brightest, followed by green and orange, followed by red and blue, with violet the darkest."

Clouds form when water vapour turns back into liquid water droplets. That is called condensation. So, clouds are liquid water droplets. Was this answer useful?"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Bergeron process)navigation search The Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process (after Alfred Wegener, Tor Bergeron and Walter Findeisen ), (or \"\"cold-rain process\"\") is a process of ice crystal growth that occurs in mixed phase clouds (containing a mixture of supercooled water and ice) in regions where the ambient vapor pressure falls between the saturation vapor pressure over water and the lower saturation vapor pressure over ice. This is a subsaturated environment for liquid water but a supersaturated environment for ice resulting in rapid evaporation of liquid water and rapid ice crystal growth through vapor deposition. If the number density of ice is small compared to liquid water, the ice crystals can grow large enough to fall out of the cloud, melting into rain drops if lower level temperatures are warm enough. The Bergeron process, if occurring at all, is much more efficient in producing large particles than is the growth of larger droplets at the expense of smaller ones, since the difference in saturation pressure between liquid water and ice is larger than the enhancement of saturation pressure over small droplets (for droplets large enough to considerably contribute to the total mass). For other processes affecting particle size, see rain and cloud physics. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Required conditions3 Formation of ice crystals4 Ice multiplication5 Aggregation6 Accretion7 Precipitation8 See also9 References10 External links History [ edit]The principle of ice growth through vapor deposition on ice crystals at the expense of water was first theorized by the German scientist Alfred Wegener in 1911 while studying hoarfrost formation. Wegener theorized that if this process happened in clouds and the crystals grew large enough to fall out, that it could be a viable precipitation mechanism. While his work with ice crystal growth attracted some attention, it would take another 10 years before its application to precipitation would be recognized. [ 1]In the winter of 1922, Tor Bergeron made a curious observation while walking through the woods. He noticed that on days when the temperature was below freezing, the stratus deck that typically covered the hillside stopped at the top of the canopy instead of extending to the ground as it did on days when the temperature was above freezing."

"text": "In order for cloud droplet to form a non-equilibrium condition, where condensation exceeds evaporation, must exist. The curvature of a cloud droplet affects its rate of evaporation. The more curved the droplet, the more evaporation that occurs. Smaller cloud droplets will evaporate quickly unless the air is supersaturated (the relative humidity exceeds 100%). Because of the curvature effect, air that is saturated with respect to a flat surface is unsaturated with respect to a curved cloud droplet. An ordinary cloud droplet 100 times smaller than raindrop. Though supersaturation is required in order for cloud droplets to sustain themselves, relative humidity rarely approaches 101%, even in very wet clouds. How do cloud droplets ever grow to raindrop size? The answer lies in the Hygroscopic nature of certain condensation nuclei. Recall that condensation on hygroscopic particles will commence when the relative humidity is below 100%."

You start falling through the high, white ammonia clouds starting at 0.5 atmospheres, where the Sun is still visible. It's very cold here, -150 C (-240 F). Your rate of descent is roughly 2.5x that of Earth, since gravity is much stronger on Jupiter. You emerge out the bottom of the cloud deck somewhere near 1 atmosphere. It's still somewhat bright, with sunlight filtering through the ammonia clouds much like an overcast day on Earth. Below, you see the second cloud-deck made of roiling brown ammonium hydrosulphide, starting about 2 atmospheres. As you fall through the bottom of this second cloud deck, it's now quite dark, but warming up as the pressure increases. Beneath you are white water clouds forming towering thunderstorms, with the darkness punctuated by bright flashes of lightning starting somewhere around 5 atmospheres. As you pass through this third and final cloud-deck it's now finally warmed up to room temperature, if only the pressure weren't starting to crush you."

"text": "Chapter 4- Water enters the atmosphere through evaporation, which is greatest when it is warmer, winds are high, and atmospheric pressure is low.- Saturation occurs when the rate of molecules condensing is equal to the number of molecules leaving the liquid (rate of return is equal to rate of escape).- Measuring water vapor is important because water vapor is the source of all clouds and precipitation and it is the most important greenhouse gas.- Mixing ratio is one to express the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. It is the ratio of the weight of water vapor to the weight of the other molecules in a given volume of air.- Vapor pressure is the pressure exerted by water vapor molecules. Increases with increasing temperature.- Similarly, when air is saturated, the pressure exerted by water vapor molecules is called Saturation Vapor Pressure.- Saturation Vapor Pressure increases rapidly as temperature increases because the speed of the molecules is increased and the number of molecules with enough kinetic energy to evaporate also increases.- Relative humidity indicates how closely the air is to being saturated and is the ratio of vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure multiplied by 100%.- Saturated air has a relative humidity of 100%.- Water evaporates more slowly in air with a high relative humidity, and more quickly in air with a low relative humidity.- Adding water vapor or cooling the air, or both, increases relative humidity, while removing water vapor, warming the air, or both decrease relative humidity.- Dew occurs when relative humidity is beyond 100% (point when air cannot contain any more moisture) and the excess moisture must condense out of the air until the humidity returns to 100%.- The Dew Point is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated without changing the pressure. The closer the dew point is to the air temperature, the closer the air is to saturation. Dew point temperature cannot be greater than the air temperature.- Frost forms similarly to dew, but only when temperatures are below freezing and deposition (vapor to solid) occurs rather than condensation (vapor to liquid). Clouds- Clouds are composed of particles of liquid water called Cloud Droplets, and particles of ice called Ice Crystals.- Typically, clouds are formed when air is cooled and the temperature equals the dew point (100% humidity) resulting in condensation, which produces clouds.- Over oceans, the ability of dissolved salt to hold onto water molecules is called the Solute Effect. This allows cloud formation at relative humidities of less than 100%.- The Curvature Effect refers to even if air is saturated on a flat surface, it may be unsaturated on a curved surface (which clouds normally are).- Supersaturation is a condition when air’s relative humidity is beyond 100%.- Nucleation is the initial formation of a cloud droplet around any type of particle.- There are two types of nucleation: Heterogeneous and Homogeneous.- Homogeneous nucleation is when a droplet is formed only by water molecules as they form a cluster, or particle.- Heterogeneous nucleation, the most common, occurs when small, non-water particles (usually aerosols called Condensation Nuclei) serve as sites for cloud droplet formation.- Examples of condensation nuclei are dust, salt, and pollen.- Ice Nuclei, the particles around which the ice crystals form, are important in the beginning stages of ice crystal formation. Ice particles can form in 4 ways: deposition nucleation, freezing nucleation, immersion nucleation, and contact nucleation.- Supercooled Water is liquid water at a temperature below 0 degrees Celsius.- Fog is a cloud at the ground. There are four kinds of fog: radiation fog, advection fog, evaporation fog, and upslope fog. Lifting Mechanisms that Form Clouds- Most clouds form when air cools to the dew point as a parcel of air rises vertically.- There are four lifting mechanisms that form clouds: Orographic Lifting, Convection, Convergence, and Updraft.- Orographic lifting is when air cannot go through a mountain, and so it flows over it.- Frontal Lifting is when less dense warm air is forced to rise over cooler, denser air as a weather fronts move."

Nucleation is the first step in the formation of either a new thermodynamic phase or a new structure via self-assembly or self-organization. Nucleation is typically defined to be the process that determines how long an observer has to wait before the new phase or self-organized structure appears. For example, if a volume of water is cooled (at atmospheric pressure) below 0° C, it will tend to freeze into ice. Volumes of water cooled only a few degrees below 0° C often stay completely ice free for long periods of time. At these conditions, nucleation of ice is either slow or does not occur at all. However, at lower temperatures ice crystals appear after little or no delay. At these conditions ice nucleation is fast. [ 1] [2] Nucleation is commonly how first-order phase transitions start, and then it is the start of the process of forming a new thermodynamic phase. By contrast new phases at continuous phase transitions start to form immediately."

Wind is the horizontal movement of air, transporting energy transferred from the earth's surface as sensible and latent heat. Sensible heat is transferred by the processes of conduction and convection. Conduction transfers energy within a substance, and convection transfers energy through the vertical movement of the heated substance. Latent heat is the transfer of energy by transforming the substance itself. As you recall, water has the ability to exist as liquid, gas or solid. The transformation from liquid to gas is called evaporation; the reverse process, from gas to liquid, is called condensation; from liquid to solid is known as solidification (freezing); and from solid to liquid, fusion (melting). Water can also be transformed directly from solid to gas (sublimation), or the reverse, through a process called deposition. We will see these various processes in the formation of clouds. Clouds are formed when air contains as much water vapor (gas) as it can hold."

"text": "Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science What causes precipitation? Flag What causes precipitation? Edit Answer by Suma rongi Confidence votes 22.0KPrecipitation occurs when a medium in which a substance had previously been absorbed/dissolved, suffers a change so that the substance can no longer be supported in suspension. A long answer BUT . . In the atmosphere, water vapour is able to be carried as long as the temperature does not drop too low. When the air cools, the water vapour is precipitated out as liquid water, initially as extremely small spheres that may be buoyant in the air currents. This is our common Cumulus clouds, or fog, and at the cloud margin, the air may be warmer and the water spheres are re-absorbed into the air again. A fascinating example of this is commonly seen when water droplets, now large enough to form rain, commence to fall from the cloud. A few tens of metres below the cloud, these rain sheets - often slanted by winds - become re-absorbed by the dryer air. This is known as Virga."

These aerosols are found in the troposphere, stratosphere, and mesosphere, which collectively make up the greatest part of the homosphere. Clouds consist of microscopic droplets of liquid water (warm clouds), tiny crystals of ice (cold clouds), or both (mixed phase clouds). Cloud droplets initially form by the condensation of water vapor onto condensation nuclei when the supersaturation of air exceeds a critical value according to Köhler theory. Cloud condensation nuclei are necessary for cloud droplets formation because of the Kelvin effect, which describes the change in saturation vapor pressure due to a curved surface. At small radii, the amount of supersaturation needed for condensation to occur is so large, that it does not happen naturally. Raoult's law describes how the vapor pressure is dependent on the amount of solute in a solution. At high concentrations, when the cloud droplets are small, the supersaturation required is smaller than without the presence of a nucleus. In warm clouds, larger cloud droplets fall at a higher terminal velocity; because at a given velocity, the drag force per unit of droplet weight on smaller droplets is larger than on large droplets. The large droplets can then collide with small droplets and combine to form even larger drops."

Find out about how Saturn's atmosphere affects the planet with help from the manager, lecturer and program planner at the Taylor Planetarium at the World renown Museum of the Rockies in this free video clip. Transcript I'm Eric Loberg director of the Taylor Planetarium at the Museum of the Rockies. I'm going to discuss how Saturn's atmosphere affects the planet. Which is kind of an interesting because most of Saturn's atmosphere is the planet. Saturn is a great big gas giant as are most of our outer planets so mostly it was gas that clumped around and as that gas starts to clump together it starts to form probably a rocky center in the middle but we're not quite sure so it's hard to say how the atmosphere affects that very center dense rock. Instead we can look at how the atmosphere around the planet affects the planet itself. We know that there's we think four bands, at least we know there's an outer band, that's the band we can see all the time of Saturn. It doesn't look at dark as Jupiter's because there's only trace elements."

Explain how the Bergeron process Ice Crystal Process increases the size of ice crystals? Bergeron Process → Ice crystals grow larger at the expense of the surrounding water droplets since the saturated vapor pressure over ice is less than that over water at the same subfreezing temperature. The water vapor molecules will diffuse towards the ice crystal causing the ice crystal to grow while the super supercooled liquid water droplet will decrease in size due to evaporation since the water droplet must replace the water vapor molecules that it lost to the ice crystal. When a cloud consists of water droplets and ice crystals, is the saturation vapor pressure greater over the water droplets or over the ice crystals?"

"text": "\"How hail is formed Hail is formed in huge cumulonimbus clouds, commonly known as thunderheads. When the ground is heated during the day by the sun, the air close to the ground is heated as well. Hot air, being less dense and therefore lighter than cold air, rises and cools. As it cools, its capacity for holding moisture decreases. When the rising, warm air has cooled so much that it cannot retain all of its moisture, water vapor condenses, forming puffy-looking clouds. The condensing moisture releases heat of its own into the surrounding air, causing the air to rise faster and give up even more moisture. Cumulonimbus clouds contain vast amounts of energy in the form of updrafts and downdrafts. These vertical winds can reach speeds over 176 kilometers (110 miles) per hour. Hail is formed in the storm cloud's main updraft, where most of the cloud is in the form of \"\"supercooled\"\" water. This is water that remains liquid although its temperature is at or below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit)."

But in exchange for leaving immortality behind, a vast array of evolutionary pathways opens up, different ways for multicellular organisms to live, in an ever-increasing number of different environments. Each of these new environments poses a different set of challenges, and only those organisms that can adapt to these changing conditions will survive to carry on the species. And all of the amazing diversity we see in nature, all of the millions of different ways to be a living thing, represent the many ways in which organisms have solved those basic environmental challenges. We are accustomed from birth to look at plants and animals as very different sorts of beings, that somehow animals are a different order of creation from plants. But if we look under the surface, if we think about what plants and animals really are, in the most basic and fundamental sense, we might find that we are more alike than we think. All multicellular organisms, whatever their environments, share a common set of evolutionary problems.

Nearly 1,000 cirripede species have been described. General features Diversity and distribution Barnacles and their allies, the parasitic infraclass Ascothoracida and superorder Rhizocephala, are highly modified, sedentary marine crustaceans. Barnacles usually have a calcareous shell made up of a number of articulated plates. The infraclass Cirripedia is divided into two superorders, Acrothoracica and Thoracica. Members of the Acrothoracica are known as burrowing barnacles because they burrow into calcareous substrates (e.g., limestone, corals, and mollusk shells). The acrothoracicans are recognized as fossils primarily by their burrows, and, while their record extends back into the Devonian Period, they are particularly well represented in the Cretaceous Period, when they burrowed into a greater variety of shell-bearing invertebrates than do their modern representatives. The principal superorder, however, is the Thoracica."

Although Cnidaria is an incredibly diverse group of animals, there are several traits that link them together. Most cnidarians are dipoblastic, which means that they are composed of only two layers of cells. The outer layer is known as the ectoderm or epidermis, and the inner layer is known as the endoderm or gastrodermis. These layers contain the nerve nets that control the muscular and sensory functions of the animal. Between these layers is a jelly-like noncellular substance known as mesoglea, which in true jellyfish constitute the vast bulk of the animal (hence their common name). In other species, the mesoglea may be nearly absent. All cnidarians have a single opening into the body which acts as both the mouth and anus, taking in food and expelling waste. In most species the mouth is lined with tentacles which act to capture food. The mouth leads to a body cavity known as the coelenteron, where the food is digested."

More than 9,000 species are part of the Phylum Cnidaria, and all species are aquatic. Cnidarians are widespread in marine habitats and less common in fresh water. This interesting group of invertebrates includes many charismatic organisms such as hydras, sea fans, jellyfishes, sea anemones, corals, and the Portuguese man-of-war. Cnidarians all have some type of specialized stinging cell organelle. Cnidarians' bodies typically take one of two forms: the polyp or the medusa. While the polyp form is adapted for a sedentary or sessile lifestyle, the medusa form is adapted for floating or free-swimming. Sea anemones and corals (class Anthoza) are all polyps. True jellyfishes (class Scyphozoa) are all medusae, though some have a polyp larval stage. Notably, some hydroids (class Hydrozoa) alternate between polyp and medusa forms throughout their lives."

"text": "\"A single reef can be home for up to 3,000 different animal species. Those animals who are not able to move independently from main water motion and so drift along can be summarized as zooplankton. The Greek word \"\"planktos\"\" means wanderer or drifter. Although at the mercy of fast horizontal currents, these organisms are able to swim, avoid predators or to capture prey. Zooplankton include crustaceans like copepods or shrimps, as well as worms, medusae or even smaller animals only being seen under the microscope like single-celled protozoans. Crustaceans are the main group, making up about 70% of zooplankton species. These countless tiny animals play a truly important role within the coral reef food web as they feed on algae (herbivorous) in the surface waters or prey on other smaller animals (carnivorous). Some of them even switch their diets. Their predators are reef fishes, larger crustaceans or filter feeders that are associated with the coral habitat like mussels or sessile worms and of course corals. Up to 17% of the total coral metabolic requirements may be covered by predation on zooplankton compared to about 71% from primary production by the symbiotic algae within the coral and 12% from absorption of dissolved organic matter present in the seawater."

A predatory, column-shaped marine animal, sea anemones can range in height from just a few millimeters to well over six feet and may possess as many as several hundred tentacles. A relative of the corals that make up the reef environments they often inhabit, sea anemones benefit from a symbiotic relationship quite similar to the one found in their coral relatives. Inside the cells of sea anemones are single-celled dinoflagellates, which are typically zooaxanthellae -- also found in the cells of corals -- and zoochlorellae. Classification Belonging to the order Actiniaria, the scientific classification of sea anemones posits that, as part of the phylum Cnidaria, they are relatives of not just the corals that make up the reef systems they inhabit but also of the jellyfish and the Hydra. The taxonomic classification for sea anemones is as follows:• Kingdom - Animalia• Phylum - Cnidaria• Class - Anthozoa• Subclass - Hexacorallia• Order - Actiniaria There are two suborders that fall under Actiniaria: Enthemonae and Anenthemonae. As for the diversity of sea anemones, there are currently 46 families officially recognized for scientific classification purposes. Ecology and Symbiotic Relationships Due to the symbiotic relationship that exists between the single-celled dinoflagellates that inhabit its cells, the sea anemone is actually able to benefit from the process of photosynthesis despite its non-plant status. This is because the algae -- zooaxanthellae and zoochlorellae -- generate the products associated with photosynthesis and makes them readily available for use by the sea anemone. It is therefore possible for the sea anemone to yield a tremendous benefit from the symbiotic relationship, as it has ample access to oxygen as well as access to critical sources of energy in the form of alanine, glucose, and glycerol."

"text": "Cnidaria corals, sea anemones, jellyfish, and relatives Facebook Twitter By Phil Myers The Phylum Cnidaria includes such diverse forms as jellyfish, hydra, sea anemones, and corals. Cnidarians are radially or biradially symmetric, a general type of symmetry believed primitive for eumetazoans. They have achieved the tissue level of organization, in which some similar cells are associated into groups or aggregations called tissues, but true organs do not occur. Cnidarian bodies have two or sometimes three layers. A gastrovascular cavity (coelenteron) has a single exterior opening that serves as both mouth and anus. Often tentacles surround the opening. Some cells are organized into two simple nerve nets, one epidermal and the other gastrodermal, that help coordinate muscular and sensory functions. Cnidarians have two basic body forms, medusa and polyp. Medusae, such as adult jellyfish, are free-swimming or floating. They usually have umbrella-shaped bodies and tetramerous (four-part) symmetry."

Asymmetry 2. Radial 3. Bilateral Bilateral symmetry - dorsal, ventral, left, right, anterior, posterior sides - usually have sensory equipment along with this symmetry at anterior end - allows for movement Tissues - collections of specialized cells that act as a functional unit - true tissues are isolated from other tissues by membranous layers - sponges don't have them - in all other animals, embryo becomes layered in gastruatlion - these GERM LAYERS form various tissues and organs of the body Ectoderm - germ layer covering surface of embryo, gives rise to the outer covering of the animal, and in some phyla, to the central nervous system Endoderm innermost germ layer, lines the pouch that forms during gastrulation and gives rise to lining of digestive tract and organs such as liver and lungs of vertebrates Diploblastic - only ectoderm and endoderm Triploblastic - all bilaterally symmetrical animals - three tissue layers - ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm Mesoderm - fills much of the space between the ectoderm and endoderm - forms muscles and other organs between digestive tract and outer covering of animal Body cavity - a fluid or air-filled space located between the digestive tract and outer body wall - called a coelom - many functions - fluid cushions suspended organs, help prevent internal injury - enables organs to grow and move independently of outer body wall True coelom - forms from tissue derived from mesoderm - inner and outer layers of tissue that surround the cavity connect and form structures that suspend the internal organs - animals with true coelom are known as coelomates Pseudocoelomate - animals that have a body cavity that is formed from mesoderm and endoderm. - not false, it si a fully functional body cavity Acoelomate - triploblastic animals lack a body cavity altogether Protostome vs Deuterostome - two types of early development - different cleavage, coelom formation and fate of blastopore Spiral cleavage - protostome - planes of cell division are diagonal to the vertical axis of the embryo - smaller cells in 8 celled embryo are centered over the grooves between larger, underlying cells Determinate cleavage - protostome - rigidly casts the developmental fate of each embryonic cell very early - a cell isolated from a snail at the four-cell stage, for example, cannot develop into a whol animal. Instead, after repeated divisions, such a cell will form an inviable embryo that lacks many parts Radial cleavag - deuterostomes - cleavage planes are either parallel or perpindicular to vertical axis of embryo in 8-cell stage - one directly above the other Indeterminate cleavage - each cell produced by early cleavage divisions retains the capacity to develop into a complete embryo - if cells of a sea urchin embryo are separated at the four-cell stage, each can form a complete larva - indeterminate cleavage of human zygote make identical twins possible Archenteron - during gastrulation, embryo's developing digestive tube initially forms as a blind pouch - becomes the gut - protstome: initally solid masses of mesoderm split and form the coelom (schizocoelous) - deuterostome: mesoderm buds from the wall of archenteron and its cavity becomes the coelom Blastopore - indentation that during gastrulation leads to formation of archenteron - After archenteron develops, most animals form a second opening at opposite end of gastrula - in many species, blastopore and this second opening become two openings of digestive tube: mouth and anus - protostome: first opening (blastopore) develops into mouth - deuterostome: first opening (blastopore) develops into anus Metazoa - all animals are in this monophyletic clade - all extant and extinct animal lineages have descended from a common ancestor Sponges - basal animals among extant taxa Eumetazoa - clade of animals with true tissues - all animals except for sponges and a few others - true tissues evolved in common acnestor of living eumetazoans - basal eumetazoans: cnidarians (diploblastic and radially symmetrical)Bilateria - most animal phyla belong to this clade Three clades of Bilaterian animals - Deuterostomia - Lophotrochozoa - Ecdysozoa Deuterostomia - bilaterian clade that has all chordates Ecdysozoa - animals that secrete external skeletons (molt) - as animal grows, it molts, squirming out of its old exoskeleton and secreting a larger one - based on molecular data that support common ancestry of its members - some taxa excluded from this clade by their molecular data, such as certain species of leeches, molt as well Lophotrochozoa - clade that refers to two different features observed in some animals belonging to this clade - Lophophore and trochophore Lophophore - crown of ciliated tentacles around the mouth that function in feeding Trochophore larva - distinctive developmental stage in molluscs and annelids CHAPTER 33 ... Phylum Porifera - sponges - sessile animals that lack true tissues - live as filter feeders, trapping particles that pass through internal channels of their body Phylum Cnidaria - corals, jellies, hydras - diploblastic, radially symmetrical body plan - gastrovascular cavity with single opening that serves as mouth and anus Phylum Acoela - acoel flatworms that have simple nervous system and saclike gut - separate from platyhelminthes and are not in the three main bilaterian clades Placozoa - single known species in this phylum - Trichoplax adhaerens - don't look like an animal - simple bilayer of a few thousand cells - thought to be basal animals, but it is not yet known how they are related to other early-diverging animal groups such as porifera and cnidaria - can reproduce by dividing into two individuals or by budding off many multicellular individuals Ctenophora - comb jellies - diploblastic, radially symmetrical - make up much of ocean's plankton - eight combs of cilia that propel the animals through the water - when small animal contacts the tentacles of some comb jellies, specialized cells burst open, covering prey with sticky threads - not cnidarians because no cnidocytes Lophotrochozoans Platyhelminthes, Rot"

The phylum Cnidaria is a little more complex in that they have tissues, but no organs. Cnidarians have radial symmetry and are sessile or free-floating as adults. Bilateral Symmetry & Coelomates The next step in animal evolution is represented by the worms, which have an elongated body with a definite head (anterior) end and tail (posterior) end. A one-way digestive tract runs from mouth to anus, which leads to bilateral symmetry. This organization produces an organism that actively seeks its food. Most worms (except for flatworms) have a coelom or true body cavity. Coelomates have a \"\"tube-within-a-tube\"\" body arrangement."

"text": "\"Notify the IRS when you're no longer eligible for COBRA, or pay penalty fees. Your COBRA premiums might be tax-deductible as a medical expense, depending on how much money you earn and how many medical expenses you had for the year. Medical expenses are deductible only if they amount to more than 10 percent of your annual gross, or pretax, income, or 7.5 percent if you were born before 1949. This IRS rule also covers medical expenses under private and employer-sponsored health plans. How COBRA Works The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, or COBRA, let's you and your family continue receiving health care benefits under your employer's plan for up to 18 months, or more when changes in your work situation leave you without medical coverage. COBRA benefits must be identical to the employer's plan. Although COBRA is group-rated coverage, premiums are going to be higher than those you paid as a full-time worker. That's because you and your employer shared premium costs. Under COBRA, you pay the entire cost, but less than you would for private insurance. COBRA affects employers with 20 or more workers, 50 percent of whom must be in the employer's health care plan."

( December 2010) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Long-term care insurance ( LTC or LTCI) is an insurance product, sold in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada, that helps pay for the costs associated with long-term care. Long-term care insurance covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Individuals who require long-term care are generally not sick in the traditional sense, but instead, are unable to perform two of the six activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, eating, toileting, continence, transferring (getting in and out of a bed or chair), and walking. Age is not a determining factor in needing long-term care. About 70 percent of individuals over age 65 will require at least some type of long-term care services during their lifetime. [ 1] About 40% of those receiving long-term care today are between 18 and 64. Once a change of health occurs, long-term care insurance may not be available. Early onset (before age 65) Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease are rare but do occur."

"text": "\"OVERVIEWBefore you can deduct your contributions to a health savings account (HSA), you must prepare IRS Form 8889. If you are the beneficiary of a health savings account (HSA), then the IRS requires you to prepare Form 8889 with your tax return before you can deduct your contributions to the account. The purpose of the form is to report your deductible contributions, calculate the deduction, report the distributions you take to pay medical expenses and to calculate the tax you must pay on withdrawals you make for non-medical related purposes. How an HSA works An HSA allows you to make annual tax-deductible contributions up to $3,350 for individual plans or up to $6,750 for family plans (as of 2017) to help pay out-of-pocket medical expenses in the future. If you are age 55 or older, you can make an additional $1,000 \"\"catch-up\"\" contribution, which is also tax-deductible. The money grows tax-deferred for as long as it’s held in the account, and all withdrawals you make to pay for qualified medical expenses are tax-free. This means you can pay for your medical expenses with tax-free dollars. However, this money is only tax-free if you file Form 8889 with your tax return. Qualifying for an HSANot all taxpayers are eligible to have an HSA. To qualify, you must be enrolled in a health insurance plan that imposes high deductibles that meet or exceed IRS required amounts."

"text": "\"Small Business - Health Insurance Information Small business - group health insurance The cost of health insurance for employees – by far the single most expensive benefit offered by employers – is one of the greatest challenges many small businesses face today. As business owners know, health insurance is a powerful tool for hiring and keeping the best workers. Business owners are not required to offer health insurance to their employees. Small group health insurance provided by insurers is regulated by the state of Missouri. Federal law also mandates that an insurer cannot deny coverage to a small business due to the health conditions of its employees or their dependents (although insurers can consider this when setting rates). In addition, self-insured health plans (where an employer insures itself), are regulated by the federal ERISA (Employees Retirement Income Security Act of 1974) law. It is rare for a small company to self-insure its health insurance. What kind of health insurance best fits your business? Small businesses commonly offer several different types of health insurance. Major medical plans typically cover a comprehensive array of health care needs, including doctor visits, prescription drugs and hospital care."

"text": "VEBAVoluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA) The federal government allows entities to receive favorable tax treatment on contributions to a trust set up under section 501 (c) (9), Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Contributions to this trust may be made on a pre-tax basis, assets in the trust may be invested and earnings are tax-exempt, and certain qualified benefits may be paid out on a tax-exempt basis. Under Title 2, chapter 18, section 13, MCA, the state also allows favorable tax treatment for a VEBA trust. What is the purpose of the VEBA? Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (VEBA)Montana has defined in statute a specific set of benefits which may be paid from a VEBA trust set up for eligible Montana public employees. That purpose is to pay for qualified health care expenditures as defined by the IRS. The goal is to assist eligible public employees in accumulating assets for the purpose of paying for health care expenditures. What will be the source of funding for this benefit? State law provides for conversion of sick leave payouts, on a tax-exempt basis, to contributions in a VEBA on behalf of employees. Other sources of contributions such as allocations of salary (flat dollar amount or flat percentage of salary per employee) are not prohibited, but must be determined by an agreement between employees and employers and must meet criteria for maintaining the exempt status of the plan."

A covered employer has at least 50 employees; 2 a covered employee has completed at least 12 months of employment and has worked at least 1,250 hours in the last 12 months at a location where 50 or more employees work within 75 miles of each other. Except for medical benefits, the FMLA does not require the leave of absence period to count for purposes of benefits accrual. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)The ADA 3 and its amendments require an employer to analyze whether a definite leave of absence is a reasonable accommodation for an ADA-protected disability and will assist a qualified individual to return to work to perform the essential functions of his or her job. The Act applies to employers with at least 15 employees. Additionally, the ADA contains an exception if the leave for reasonable accommodation causes undue hardship to the employer. Uniformed Service Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA)USERRA 4 divides benefit consideration into two categories: seniority and non-seniority based benefits. Seniority based benefits are those that accrue with, or are determined by, longevity in employment. 5 An employee on USERRA leave is entitled to receive, upon his or her proper reinstatement from leave, all seniority-based benefits that the employee would have received had he or she remained continuously employed during the period of service. With respect to non-seniority based benefits, the employee on USERRA leave is entitled to receive those benefits provided to persons of similar seniority, status and pay who are on a leave of absence or furlough."

"text": "Editor's Note: This article is part of our 2013 Tax Tips series. Robert Flach is an expert with almost 40 years of experience as a tax professional and also blogs as The Wandering Tax Pro. NEW YORK ( Main Street) — Internal Revenue Code Section 213 (a) (1) tells us that you if you itemize, you can deduct as a medical expense amounts paid for the “diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body. ”Medical expenses are deductible on your 2012 Schedule A only to the extent that the total exceeds 7½% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). If your AGI is $70,000, the first $5,250 of medical expenses is not deductible. If your total medical expenses for the year are $5,000 you get no deduction. If your medical expenses for the year total $6,000 you get a tax deduction of $750 ($6,000 less $5,250). Medical deductions are not limited to costs involved for physical disorders, but include expenses relating to psychological and emotional disorders as well. Neither the medical practitioner prescribing the treatment nor the method of treatment prescribed has to be American Medical Association approved or sanctioned to claim a tax deduction, as long as the practitioner and treatment are valid within the patient’s religious or cultural context. Deductions for treatment by Christian Science Practitioners and Native American medicine men have been upheld by the IRS and the courts."

"text": "\"Payroll Deductions From Severance Pay: What the Law Allowswritten by: N Nayab•edited by: Jean Scheid •updated: 5/20/2011Severance pay is payment an employee receives when they leave employment of a company, owing to layoffs, job elimination, mutual agreement to part ways, or other reasons. Read on to find out the laws regarding payroll deductions from severance pay. The definition of severance pay includes any regular pay due to the employee, payment for unused vacation time or sick leave, retirement benefits, and other benefits, besides additional payment of usually a week or two’s pay for every year of service. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) law only mandates employers to pay to the employee leaving employment for any reason any wages due to the employee through the last day of work, including any overtime, bonuses, commissions, reimbursement of expenses, and payments for unused vacation time. Most states require the employer to release final pay to the employee either immediately or within a specified time. The law does not mandate the employer to make any additional severance payment, or wages for unused sick leave, unless the company policy or employment contract specifies such payment. Severance pay in such cases are part of benefits available to the employee, and once voluntarily established, fall under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) that requires employers to establish and maintain such plans with equity and accountability. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notifications (WARN) Act requires covered employers who lays off employees without providing the mandatory 60 days notice, except under unforeseen circumstances, to provide back pay and benefits for the period during which the employer violates WARN Act. Any wages or unconditional payments paid to the employee during such period, including any severance pay may be deducted from such WARN act payouts.

They might be two of our favourite drinks, but how many of us know exactly what caffeine – the drug behind the world's most consumed beverages (except for water) – is up to in the body? Caffeine, like nicotine, is legal, and, if not addictive, it's definitely habit-forming. Caffeine is found in a number of plants: tea, coffee beans, guarana berries and cocoa nuts (although the quantity is quite small, around 0.2-0.4 per cent), where it acts as a toxin to defend against herbivores. Surprisingly, it's the leaves of the tea plant that contain the most caffeine, around 5 per cent compared to 1 to 2 per cent for coffee beans. How much? The scientific description of caffeine is 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine. We consume it in tea, coffee, soft drinks, energy drinks and chocolate. It's also an ingredient in cold medications, appetite suppressants and pain relievers and is effective against headaches and drowsiness. Green, black and white tea all come from the Camellia sinensis plant and contain similar amounts of caffeine, although Assam tea tends to have the higgest caffeine levels (red tea or Rooibos tea comes from a different plant and contains no caffeine)."

A diuretic diet is advised for those suffering from edema, heart diseases, high blood pressure and kidney or liver disorders. For more information on natural diuretic foods, read on. Water retention in the body is as harmful as dehydration, if not more. Retention of water in the body usually occurs in people suffering from heart ailments, kidney and liver related ailments, PMS symptoms, high blood pressure, sciatica, etc. It may also occur due to the lack of B-vitamins, amino acids, and proteins in the diet or due to the excessive consumption of foods high in sugar and salt content. The condition caused due to water retention in the body tissues is known as edema. Diuretics are substances that help flush out the excessive water from the body through urination. Diuretics are available in the form of synthetic diuretics and natural diuretics. Synthetic diuretics are medications or drugs that are available over-the-counter with the prescription of a medical expert."

Experts and gurus suggest that we increase our water intake, avoid sugar, become vegetarian, or try a vegan or gluten-free diet. If we follow this advice, experts say, our heart, pancreas, and colon will become healthier. Sadly, very few experts discuss diets that support and promote bladder health. At the same time, with baby boomers continuing to age, bladder problems such as urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage are becoming very common. Consider these statistics: One in four women over age 26 experiences stress incontinence (urinary leakage when laughing, sneezing, or putting stress on the bladder) at some point in her life. About 17 percent of women in the United States suffer from urge incontinence or overactive bladder (urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage). Some women have both stress and urge incontinence (mixed urinary incontinence), and these often have the most severe urinary symptoms. The good news? Research indicates that diet modifications can be an effective conservative therapy for all three types of urinary incontinence."

"text": "The Effects of Alcohol & Caffeine on Dehydrationby SHIRA GOLDENHOLZ Aug. 14, 2017Dehydration is the term used to describe an imbalance between fluid needs and fluid loss: when more fluid is lost than is required for normal body processes, dehydration may occur. Symptoms indicating dehydration include feeling thirsty, dizzy or weak. Some people may notice that their eyes or mouth feel unusually dry. While it may seem reasonable to replenish fluid loss with any sort of beverage, some beverages -- for example, those that contain caffeine or alcohol -- may actually cause, or worsen, dehydration. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Diuresis A diuretic is a substance that results in the body producing an increased amount of urine. According to Dr. Robert Swift and Dr. Dena Davidson, alcohol’s diuretic effect is fairly significant: drinking the equivalent of 50 grams of alcohol in about 8 ounces of water -- in other words, drinking four 2-oz. shots of liquor -- can result in the elimination of up to 1 quart of liquid as urine. This occurs because alcohol blocks the release of a hormone that is needed for water reabsorption. Without this hormone -- called antidiuretic hormone, or ADH -- the kidneys do not reabsorb the water; instead they excrete it as urine. Caffeine -- a stimulant that is found in coffee beans, tea leaves, sodas and even chocolate -- also has diuretic effects."

It definately gives me lots of energy and people have commented about my beautiful skin. My one concern though is that I have recenty been having this lower back pain, to an extent that I have found myself having to stand from time to time whilest working on my PC. I was wondering if it could have anything to do with it. Answer: Kholiwa, I am glad you have enjoyed drinking green tea. Green tea is anti-flammatory, so if anything it should help rather than cause back pain. If you have been sitting on your desk working on PC for a long time, it is not usual to suffer from back and neck problems. Two weeks of drinking tea is highly unlikely to cause any \"\"internal\"\" side effect such as back pain. Just make sure you are not drinking more than 6 cups of green tea a day, which is the recommended dosage by the UK Tea Council, due to the caffeine consideration.

Download PDF Copy By April Cashin-Garbutt, BA Hons (Cantab) May 30, 2012As the northern hemisphere approaches the summer months, many of us begin to think about increasing our fluid intake to prevent dehydration. But exactly how much should we be drinking a day? Does the amount vary depending on what we are drinking? And what happens if we don’t drink enough fluid? How much should you drink per day? The Department of Health estimates that we should drink around 1.2 litres of fluid per day, according to the NHS. ( 1)This equates to eight 150ml (around 5-oz) glasses. The literature on fluid intake can be confusing. This is because some sources refer to the amount of fluid we should intake through beverages alone; whereas other sources refer to the total water intake."

Our expert: Dietitian Lisa Renn Reuters | Mick Tsikas Have your say Have you found coffee can make you feel dehydrated? Conditions of Use Have you been told that you need to drink an extra glass of water for every cup of coffee or tea that you drink? For some time there has been a belief that drinking coffee and tea can make you dehydrated because the caffeine they contain has a diuretic effect. ( A diuretic is a substance that causes your body to produce urine, and it has been suggested caffeine can do this because it increases blood flow through the kidneys. ) But is there any evidence to show that your morning cuppa needs to be offset with a big glass of water? If you regularly enjoy a few cups of coffee or tea a day, then you can rest assured the moderate amount of caffeine they contain doesn't cause you to lose more fluid than you ingest, says Lisa Renn, accredited practising dietitian and spokesperson for the Dietitians Association of Australia. Nor will your cuppa be any more likely to send you off to the loo than any other drink. \"\" There is evidence that caffeine in higher amounts acts as a diuretic in some people, but moderate intake is actually not that significant,\"\" Renn says."

Dandelion tea has a long history of human usage. Chinese medicinal practitioners used dandelion to treat digestive disorders, appendicitis, and breast problems (such as inflammation or lack of milk flow). The early American colonial settlers loved the common weed and taught the Native American Indians how to use it. The Indian tribes created their own ways to use dandelion: The Iroquois Indians ate boiled dandelion leaves along with fatty meats to avoid indigestion. When the Ojibwas had heartburn, they drank dandelion root tea. The Kiowa women mixed dandelion blossoms with pennyroyal as a cure for cramps and PMS. The Mohegans drank dandelion leaf tea daily as a tonic to keep their energy levels high and to stay free of stomach aches and constipation.

However, the preparation and brewing method of matcha makes a positive difference in the overall effect of caffeine on your body. It is true that because matcha is made from crushed whole tea leaves, the caffeine content is somewhat higher than that of bagged tea.

As a matter of fact, these “weeds” are commonly used in folk medicine, and have been for quite some time. When people talk about dandelion tea, they are largely talking about one of two different beverages: an infusion made of the plant’s leaves, or one made of roasted dandelion roots. Both are considered safe (so long as you haven’t sprayed your yard with herbicides or pesticides) and are used for a variety of purposes.1. It Reduces Water Weight If you’re feeling bloated, dandelion tea could provide relief because it acts as a diuretic and increases urine output. One study showed an increased urine output after two 1-cup servings of dandelion tea made from the leaves of the plant.2. It Could Promote Liver Health Dandelion root has long been held as a “liver tonic” in folk medicine. Preliminary studies suggest this is due, in part, to its ability to increase the flow of bile. Naturopaths believe it means that dandelion root tea could help detoxify the liver, help with skin and eye problems, and relieve symptoms of liver disease. A 2017 study suggests that polysaccharides in dandelion may indeed be beneficial to liver function.3."

It is applied in the manufacture of sausages or similar products, but also for larger pieces of meat selected for cured meat specialities. In the past, when refrigeration was not commonly available, curing was mainly applied to extend the storage life of entire pieces of muscle meat by using the preserving effects of common salt (in high concentrations) and to a lesser extent sodium nitrite. In modern meat processing, this aspect is less important as more efficient meat preservation methods, in particular cooling and freezing, are available. Curing is now mainly applied to achieve a pink-red colour as well as a typical flavour and taste in processed meat products (see page 36, 68).

Regardless of resting or not, you can't fully taste things which are too hot, they need to come down to a comfortable temperature before you eat them. Some things you can do to stop the meat being too cold when you serve it: You can rest the meat wrapped in foil, this will stop it from getting too cool too quickly if you are not ready to serve once its had the time to rest.you can rest it and then warm it again before you eat it, either under a hot grill for a little, or in an oven.serve it with a hot sauce which will warm the meatserve it on a warmed plate which will stop it cooling more too quickly on the table Although I think you are worrying too much about nothing IMHO. Even once rested the meat will still be at a good temperature, especially as you have not cut it yet and most of the heat will be retained in the middle of the meat.share improve this answeranswered Jul 22 '10 at 9:19Sam Holder8,176 15 53 1008wrapping with foil can result in it steaming and mess up a good sear -- this isn't so bad for slow-cooked things like barbeque, but might not be ideal for steaks. – Joe Jul 22 '10 at 11:44@joe, thats very true.

"text": "Making Summer Sausage Step By Step November 1st, 2009admin Summer Sausage is traditionally a cured, fermented sausage seasoned with salt, sugar or dextrose, mustard, black pepper, and garlic with many cultural and geographic variations. Summer sausage is usually made from leftover trimmings, low quality cuts, and organ meat but can be made with higher classes of meat as well. The fermentation process is facilitated by the addition of lactic acid bacteria starter cultures and the sausage must then be allowed time to ferment. These bacteria feed on the sugars in the meat mix and produce lactic acid as a by product which lowers the p H of the product and creates an environment unfavorable for further bacterial activity. There is usually a drying period and the combination of proper p H coupled with reduced water activity results in a product that is shelf stable and can be stored at room temperature. Lactic acid also imparts a tangy flavor common to this type of product and can be duplicated by the addition of encapsulated citric acid when the time required for the fermentation process or the availability of starter cultures is a factor. An excellent product can be made without fermentation, the addition of encapsulated citric acid, or the drying period but this product will be perishable and must be kept refrigerated. Before starting have everything ready to go. Grinder, stuffer, and all food contact surfaces should be sterilized. Grinder plates and knives should be clean, sharp, and matched."

Photo 1 Photo 2Brining is a method for improving the flavor and moisture content of lean cuts of meat like chicken, turkey, pork and seafood. This is achieved by soaking the meat in a moderately salty solution for a few hours to a few days. Brining also provides a temperature cushion during cooking—if you happen to overcook the meat a little, it will still be moist. At a minimum, a brine consists of water and salt. Other ingredients may be added for additional flavor, including sugar, brown sugar, honey, molasses, maple syrup, fruit juices, beer, liquor, bay leaves, pickling spices, cloves, garlic, onion, chilies, citrus fruits, peppercorns, and other spices."

Pregnant women are 20 times more likely to get listeriosis than the general population. Older adults and people with weakened immune systems also are at greater risk. Although listeriosis usually causes only mild, flu-like illness in a pregnant woman, it can be life-threatening for her fetus. In more serious (but rare) cases, it can lead to death in a pregnant woman. It is important to contact your obstetrician–gynecologist (ob-gyn) or other health care professional if you have signs and symptoms of listeriosis and have eaten food within the past 2 months that may have been contaminated with Listeria. Food Poisoning in Pregnant Women Food poisoning is an illness caused by eating or drinking harmful microorganisms that may cause stomach pain, vomiting, and/or diarrhea. Pregnant women can get food poisoning just like anyone else. In fact, pregnancy causes changes in your immune system that can make you more likely to get a foodborne illness than other healthy adults. Your fetus’s immune system also is not fully developed."

"text": "\"Use of meat glue goes far beyond meat By Andrew Schneider Posted on May 9, 2012This is a story I did for Scripps Howard News Service Secret Ingredients Every day, millions of Americans are likely putting something in their mouths that contains a substance called “meat glue” by critics of the food industry. The additive with the unappetizing nickname is used to produce meats found in supermarkets, in local delis and in restaurants ranging from fast food to fine dining. Even vegetarian food isn’t exempt. Marketing consultants and food scientists estimate — because no company will discuss sales figures– that anywhere from 11 to 35 percent of all packaged and sliced ham, beef, chicken, fish, pizza toppings and other deli products are enhanced, restructured or molded using the meat glue, which is made from one of two brands of protein adhesive. Even though federal laws require labeling, a spot-check of meat purveyors and restaurant suppliers by Scripps Howard News Service found that almost no companies listed the substances among their products’ ingredients. The website for Ajinomoto, one of the larger makers of meat glue, shows what happens when strips of beef are molded into an expensive-looking tenderloin. Further, 10 meat and cold-cut processors and fast-food outlets — including Tyson Food, Cargill Meats, Mc Donald’s and Arby’s — were contacted by Scripps, but all declined to discuss whether they used transglutaminase or blood-extract products, saying either that it was proprietary, or, if they did use them, it need not be reported because the binders were considered a “processing aid. ”Like the “pink slime” used as a cheap ground-beef filler, meat glue is not considered a health risk by federal food watchdogs. Nonetheless, consumers recently reacted with revulsion to the presence of pink-slime filler in ground meat, leading, ultimately, to the closing of three processing plants and the removal of the additive from some restaurants’ fare. Whether or not meat glue will meet the same fate, the lack of disclosure is the same in critics’ eyes. “"

"text": "Nitrites In Food By Lisa Tsakos (4) Comment Nitrites are considered a dangerous food additive and the main reason many people avoid cured meats. As a result, a number of ‘preservative-free’ cold cuts have emerged, but are these products truly what they seem to be, and are nitrites as dangerous as we have been led to believe? Cured meat, as well as any unfrozen food item that isn’t a “whole muscle”, and meat products containing poultry or pork are required by law to include a preservative. Sodium nitrite (sometimes called sodium nitrate or sodium salt) is the preferred additive. By definition, a “cured” meat has had the preservative nitrate or nitrite combined with salt added to it. The nitrite controversy lies in the fact that it isn’t just found in cold cuts; in fact, for occasional cold cut eaters, only 5 percent of nitrite intake is from cured meats. Nitrites and nitrates are naturally occurring chemical compounds made of nitrogen, an important component of air, water, and soil and essential for plant growth. In other words, soil is full of nitrates, and any plants that grow from the ground draw it from the soil. Nitrates, which convert to nitrites in the body, are naturally occurring in water and particularly high in beets, celery, lettuce, radishes, and spinach. About 85 percent of nitrites in our diet come from vegetables and other natural and healthy foods, including spinach and other leafy greens, beets, corn, fish, dairy products, and cereals."

Drying (dehydrating) food is one of the oldest and easiest methods of food preservation. Dehydration is the process of removing water or moisture from a food product. Removing moisture from foods makes them smaller and lighter. Dehydrated foods are ideal for backpacking, hiking, and camping because they weigh much less than their non-dried counterparts and do not require refrigeration. Drying food is also a way of preserving seasonal foods for later use. How dehydration preserves foods Foods can be spoiled by food microorganisms or through enzymatic reactions within the food. Bacteria, yeast, and molds must have a sufficient amount of moisture around them to grow and cause spoilage. Reducing the moisture content of food prevents the growth of these spoilage-causing microorganisms and slows down enzymatic reactions that take place within food. The combination of these events helps to prevent spoilage in dried food."

"text": "\"Answer by Nicole Morgan Confidence votes 10.7KFounder of the Toronto Rabbit Cooperativeif a rabbit eats collard greens, it would probably have to same effect as eating cabbage. Collard greens are crucifers, meaning they're part of the cabbage family. Cruciferous vegetables are known to cause gas in rabbits, which can actually be very serious and lead to deathly illness (GI Stasis). Some rabbits are fine to eat crucifers in moderation, but other rabbits are very sensitive to them and get gas even from eating a small amount. The key is to observe your rabbit and understand her (or his) individual responses to foods. Never give a rabbit lots of crucifers in one day: so, if you give a bit of collard greens, don't also give cabbage. Here is an incomplete list of some cruciferous greens: horseradish, cress, mustard greens, kale, collar greens, Chinese broccoli, cabbages, Brussels sprout, kohlrabi greens, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, rapini (broccoli rabe), turnip greens, rutabaga greens, arugula (rocket), radish greens, daikon greens. If you notice signs of gas in your rabbit, you should administer first aid treatment and if it doesn't go away within a few hours, you should bring your rabbit to a vet. The longer the gas goes untreated, the higher chance of GI Stasis. See the related questions below for details and links."

By James T. Cotton Noe (1912)Southerners love their greens. A time-honored tradition in southern kitchens, greens have held an important place on the table for well over a century, and there is no other vegetable that is quite so unique to the region. Greens are any sort of cabbage in which the green leaves do not form a compact head. They are mostly kale, collards, turnip, spinach, and mustard greens. Collard greens are vegetables that are members of the cabbage family, but are also close relatives to kale. Although they are available year-round, they are at their best from January through April. In the Southern states, a large quantity of greens to serve a family is commonly referred to as a “mess o’ greens.” The exact quantity that constitutes a “mess” varies with the size of the family. The traditional way to cook greens is to boil or simmer slowly with a piece of salt pork or ham hock for a long time (this tempers their tough texture and smoothes out their bitter flavor) until they are very soft."

Cauliflower florets, turnip greens, mustard greens, broccoli florets, and kale showed up as being more expensive than collard greens after being trimmed to their edible portion and cooked. Among the cruciferous vegetables, only cabbage turned out to be less expensive than collard greens on a per cup basis (chopped and cooked). The affordable nature of collard greens is great news in terms of nutrition, since this cruciferous vegetable achieves 6 rankings of excellent, 4 rankings of very good, and 11 rankings of good in our WHFoods rating system!In a study on indigenous vegetable intake in the southeastern United States, collard greens were determined to provide the 4th greatest amount of antioxidant capacity related to overall dietary intake among 12 nutrient-rich foods in the study. In these research findings, collard greens ranked 4th behind sweet potato greens, mustard greens, and kale. Alongside of the four nutrient-rich greens listed above, this regional study also examined the antioxidant contributions of purple hull peas, rutabagas, eggplant, purslane, butter beans, butter peas, and green onions. Intake of collard greens has long been known to have the capacity to lower blood cholesterol levels, including blood levels of LDL cholesterol. But a recent study on cruciferous vegetables has taken our understanding of collards and cholesterol to a new level. In this study, researchers focused on the ability of fiber-like components in vegetables to bind together with bile acids. ( When bound together with fiber-like components, bile acids are more readily excreted from our body, and following their excretion, our cells break apart some cholesterol into its component bile acids as a way of replacing the bound bile acids that got excreted."

"text": "Small Animal Nutrition Jun 10, 2012A variety of small mammals such as hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice, rats, rabbits, chinchillas and ferrets are commonly kept as household pets for adults and children alike. These pets have been bred in captivity for years and are ideal for a variety of pet owners because of their small space requirements, quiet nature, ease of handling and relatively simple husbandry requirements. Diet is an important part of the care of these pets and each species should have its own specific nutritional needs met. A rabbit is not a rodent is not a ferret, and so on. * TIP: Find at least one healthy treat food that your pet likes and feed a small amount daily to check on how good your pet’s appetite is. If your pet will not eat its treat food, then there may be other problems brewing and you need to keep a close eye on your pet for health problems. Water Clean water must be accessible to any animal at all times. Some species, such as chinchillas and gerbils, require less water due to physiological adaptations to living in a dry environment, but they still need a water source always available. A sipper water bottle is the best choice because it cannot be contaminated with bedding, food, feces and urine. The “sipper” part of the bottle should be metal and not plastic, which can easily be damaged by inquisitive teeth."

Well, it isn’t if you can go through this article where I’ve embedded some of the imperative facts about the rabbits diet. Rabbits are the small mammals that belong to the family of Leporidae in the order of Lagomorpha. These animals are found in different parts of the world. The male is known as buck and the female is called doe. What Do Rabbits Eat Rabbits are the regular grazers and for the reason that they are herbivores they primarily feed on leafy weeds, forbs, and grass. The bulk of the rabbits diet is composed of roughage. These fibers are not easy to digest which rabbits do so by passing two types of feces, soft black viscous pellets and hard droppings. Rabbits are also known to ingest their own droppings instead of munching on the cud. First half hour of the rabbits is engaged in constant grazing."

And while you may think that you take in enough calcium throughout the day, or that you need to consume meat or dairy to take in enough calcium, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Like vitamin B12, which is found in meat, calcium is another substance that is thought to be very difficult to find when only focusing on vegan food sources. But the good news for everyone – vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters alike – is that there are numerous vegetables out there that contain notable amounts of calcium. What’s more, these vegetables provide a wealth of other health benefits while providing this essential mineral.6 Vegetables High in Calcium1. Kale An excellent source of calcium, kale offers a whopping 139mg per 100g serving of the vegetable and offers very absorbable calcium.

In order to maintain his health, your iguana should primarily be fed a diet of dark, leafy greens such as Swiss chard, endive and collard greens. You may not be aware, however, that several herbs are a nutritious and tasty addition to your pet lizard's diet. Alfalfa and dandelions top the list. Alfalfa Greens or Tablets Iguanas need protein from plant sources -- not animal -- and alfalfa packs a protein punch. In fact, experts at the Green Iguana Society consider it a staple in your iguana's diet. You may feed alfalfa tablets or powder, made for human consumption, to your iguana. Alfalfa greens are found in grocery stores or in the wild where they can be foraged for free. You can also grow alfalfa yourself since it tolerates a wide range of environmental conditions.

Anything beyond that is a \"\"treat\"\" and should be given in limited quantities. Pellets should be fresh, and should be relatively high in fiber (18% minimum fiber). Do not purchase more than 6 weeks worth of feed at a time, as it will become spoiled. Pellets should make up less of a rabbit's diet as he or she grows older, and hay should be available 24 hours a day. When shopping for vegetables, look for a selection of different veggies. Look for both dark leafy veggies and root vegetables, and try to get different colors. Stay away from beans, corn, peas, and rhubarb. Hay is essential to a rabbit's good health, providing roughage which reduces the danger of hairballs and other blockages."

The mustard family includes cool season crops such as Brussels sprout, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, kohlrabi, mustard, broccoli, turnips and watercress. All of these familiar garden crops can trace their history to a common ancestry of wild cabbage originating in the Mediterranean and Asia Minor area. The close kinship of these crops enable diversified usage of plant parts. For instance, Brussels sprout plants are grown by most gardeners for the miniature heads (sprouts) which develop in the axils of the leaves.

How to Prep Greens Greens can be very sandy and gritty, especially when you get them fresh at the farmer’s market or in your CSA box, so they need to be washed well. Don’t wash the greens unless you are going to use them in a day or two, as they will start to wilt. If you do wash them in advance, place them in a storage bag with a clean towel or paper towel to absorb the moisture and keep them refrigerated. Store them in the crisper drawer of the fridge, away from the fruit. Fruits give off ethylene gas which can hasten spoilage."

It is commonly raised as a source of winter greens in the southern United States, where it is customarily boiled with a seasoning of pork fat. Collard bears the same botanical name as kale, from which it differs only in leaf characters: collard leaves are much broader, are not frilled, and resemble those of head cabbage. The main stem reaches a height of 60–120 cm (24–48 inches) with a rosette of leaves at the top. Lower leaves commonly are harvested progressively; the entire young rosette is sometimes harvested. Collard is usually grown as an annual, but it is a biennial plant and will produce yellow four-petaled flowers in loose clusters in its second year. The fruits are dry capsules known as siliques.

"text": "Cooking on a Budget, Entrees, Vegetarian Collard Greens Pie Oct 7Collard greens seed starts were a last-minute impulse purchase at the farm stand this spring. Though I am generally prohibited by my frugal philosophy from impulsive spending, I figured that acquiring six plants for $2.60 was a reasonable gamble. After all, even if I chopped down each of the plants in its prime and ate them, I’d have made up for my purchase nearly five-fold. And so into the woven plastic flat they went, next to the peppers, leeks, and acorn squash. Now, nearly six months later, I can make an informed assessment of collard greens. And I have this to say: Those things kick arse. Not only are they prolific producers, they mind not a little neglect, and though the slugs are quite enamored of them, it’s easy enough to pick those little slimy things off. Add to that, one can quickly harvest enough leaves for a meal in short order, and, still, the leaves keep coming, all season long. It wasn’t until the end of last month that they showed evidence of cabbage loopers (or inchworms, as I have always known them), which is to be expected, as that is the loopers’ time, yet I simply fed those to the hens (along with the slugs, which the hens have now come to expect), and order was restored. So maybe I wasn’t successful at getting ALL of the pests off all of the time."

"text": "\"Mschowe/Getty Images Overview and Description Collards are a member of the Brassicacea family. They are grown for their leaves, which are cooked, much like kale. This cooking green is most often associated with Southern U. S. cooking and the plants do indeed favor warmer climates. They are native to the eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor, but the plants are easily grown in most climates. As with kale, collards are non-head forming cabbages. In fact, collards and kale have often been considered the same vegetable. Genetically they are not much different, but breeding and cultivating over the years has produced plants with different textures and flavor. Collard leaves have a broad, oval shape, very distinct veins and a smooth, almost waxy texture that needs more cooking than kale and collards tend to have a stronger and sometimes more bitter flavor. Cooking greens are some of the most nutritious vegetables you can eat and collard greens, in particular, are packed with vitamins A, C and K, soluble fiber, calcium, folate, manganese and tryptophan - and less than 50 calories per serving. Eating your collards even helps to lower your bad cholesterol."

It is a leafy green Chinese cabbage which mostly grows in Asian regions like the Philippines, China, and Vietnam. Pak choi, or bok choy, is also called pe-tsai, petsay, Chinese white cabbage, and white celery mustard. It is a popular mainland crop that belongs in the Brassica family. Though pak choi or bok choy is commonly grown in the eastern world, it has also captivated westerners with its sweet and tender stalks. It comes in the scientific name of Brassica campestris L. The Brassica family can be further subdivided into different varieties according to the color of the leaves’ petioles. The white petiole variety includes the Canton pak choi, prize choi, taisai, lei choi, joi choi, and pak-choy white. On the other hand, the green petiole variety includes the mei qing choi and the Chinese pak choi green. Pak choi or bok choy is a small plant but can grow up to 12 or 18 inches in height. It grows upright from the ground."

Species See text Brassica ( / ˈ b r æ s ɪ k ə /) is a genus of plants in the mustard family ( Brassicaceae ). The members of the genus are informally known as cruciferous vegetables, cabbages, or mustard plants. Crops from this genus are sometimes called cole crops —derived from the Latin caulis, denoting the stem or stalk of a plant. [ 1]The genus Brassica is known for its important agricultural and horticultural crops and includes a number of weeds, both of wild taxa and escapees from cultivation. Brassica species and varieties commonly used for food include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, choy sum, rutabaga, turnip and some seeds used in the production of canola oil and the condiment mustard. Over 30 wild species and hybrids are in cultivation, plus numerous cultivars and hybrids of cultivated origin. Most are seasonal plants ( annuals or biennials ), but some are small shrubs. Brassica plants have been the subject of much scientific interest for their agricultural importance."

"text": "The Nutritional Differences Between Kale, Collard Greens and Swiss Chardby GWEN BRUNO Oct. 03, 2017Kale, collard greens and Swiss chard are three varieties of cooking greens. Curly leaved kale is often added to potato recipes. Collard greens, or collards, are popular in Southern cuisine. Both are members of the cabbage family. Swiss chard has thick, dark leaves and a flavor similar to spinach. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Kale Although its calorie count is modest compared to most other foods, kale, with 130 calories per cup, has more than twice the number of calories of collard greens or Swiss chard. One cup of cooked, boiled and drained kale also contains 1 gram of fat, 7 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams each of sugars and protein. When prepared with no added salt, kale has only 30 micrograms of sodium. Ounce for ounce, kale is a good source of fiber, with 1 cup providing 3 grams, or 10 percent of the daily value of dietary fiber. Kale is also an excellent source of certain vitamins, providing a whopping 354 percent of the daily value of vitamin A as well as 89 percent of vitamin C, 9 percent of calcium and 6 percent of iron."

"text": "Kale may be the trendy green, but collard greens are my favorite dark, leafy greens. They are hearty and delicious; I love them raw and cooked. Collards are really good for you, high in vitamins A, C and K, as well as iron, fiber and calcium. They are a staple of Southern cuisine, but because they are less common in other regions, people may not know what to do with them. Collards can be intimidating with their giant leaves and thick ribs. Their thick, chewy texture means they may require a bit longer cooking time but it also means they won’t fall apart or get mushy like other greens can. Many recipes you might read use some kind of pork for flavoring the greens and balancing the slightly bitter taste of collards, but I think that is unnecessary and just covers up the natural goodness of the greens. When cooked properly, collard greens are amazing. Just be sure to wash them well and get all the grit and sand out of them. Fold the leaves in half and run your index and middle finger down the stem to strip the leaves of the stem or use a knife to cut the stem out."

And you’ll want to plant collards in February, March, August, September, October, and November. Consult our Planting Calendar for more details. Fibrous with a mild earthy flavor, they are excellent sources of beta carotene and good sources of vitamin C and calcium. The darker the leaf the more beta carotene.

Collards, or collard greens, are botanically related to cabbage, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, arugula and other members of the extensive cabbage family of vegetables. Like other cruciferous vegetables, collards are high in folate, potassium, calcium, iron and vitamins A, C and K. Both raw and cooked collards are significant sources of dietary fiber. Fiber Content A standard, 2-cup serving of chopped raw collards has 22 calories, nearly 2 grams of protein, very little fat and just over 4 grams of carbohydrates, of which 2.6 grams are dietary fiber. Raw collards qualify as a good source of fiber by U. S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines, which state that a single serving of food must supply at least 2.5 grams to be a good source of fiber. The standard serving size for cooked leafy green vegetables is 1 cup. Per standard 1-cup serving, chopped cooked collards provide 49 calories, 4 grams of protein, less than 1 gram of fat and 9.3 grams of carbohydrates, of which 5.3 grams are fiber. This amount of fiber qualifies cooked collards as a high-fiber food. Recommended Intake The FDA sets the daily value for fiber at 25 grams based on a 2,000-calorie diet."

It grows better in warm weather and can tolerate more cold weather in the late fall than any other member of the cabbage family. Although collard is a popular substitute for cabbage in the Deep South, it can also be grown in northern areas because it is frost tolerant. Hybrid varieties recently have been introduced, bringing hybrid uniformity and vigor to collards. Recommended Varieties Champion (60 days to harvest; dark green; long-standing, compact plant; good cold tolerance)Georgia LS (75 days; wavy leaves; slow to bolt)Vates (75 days; low growing plant with smooth leaves)Flash (73 days; hybrid; early; long, dark green leaves; slow to bolt)When to Plant Plant in early spring for summer harvest and again in midsummer for fall and early winter harvest. Spacing & Depth Sow the seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Thin the seedlings to 6 inches apart, allow them to grow until they begin to touch, then harvest whole plants to give 18 inches between plants. This allows enough space for plants to mature. Thinned plants may be eaten. Allow at least 3 feet between rows because plants become large."

Broccoli, kale, spinach, lettuce, and other early spring crops grow well in the cooler weather of fall, and you’ll like the benefits: fewer insects, less sweat, a sweet flavor brought on by frost, and an extended harvest season in milder climates. The farther south you live, the longer the life of your fall garden. In the North, you can enjoy a good fall harvest until at least the first hard freeze; beets, parsnips, and carrots stay in the ground after freezes if covered with hay. Kale tolerates temperatures in the teens. Cold-hardy collards and kale get a rich, sweet flavor after their leaves are touched by frost. Some spinach, such as the old Bloomsdale Long Standing, is also quite tolerant of cold.

"text": "Calcium is an essential mineral that is responsible for maintaining healthy teeth and bones. About 99% of calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, whereas the rest is required for muscle function, secretion of hormones, nerve transmission, intracellular signaling, etc. The body's requirements for calcium can be met by including the sources of calcium in one's diet. According to the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) at the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of calcium for adults is 1,000 mg. In case of aging adults, especially menopausal women, the rate of bone resorption is higher than bone formation. This makes women susceptible to osteoporosis. Due to this reason, menopausal women are asked to take calcium-rich foods or calcium supplements. The RDA for calcium for women above the age of 50 years is 1,200 mg. In order to meet RDA for calcium, one must incorporate natural sources of calcium, which includes dairy-based products, fruits, and vegetables. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt, and fish such as sardines and salmon are good sources of calcium."

"text": "\"GREEN IGUANA CARETHE SIMPLE BUT EASILY CONFUSED REQUIREMENTSby Henry Lizardlover IGUANA CARE Most of iguana care can be common sense stuff and not hard to figure out if you take time to think about where iguanas come from and find out that they are primarily plant eaters. Coming from Central and South American tropical jungle areas, they live with all year round warm and humid climates, with lots of sunshine and trees for shade also, where temperatures are vary from the 80's to 90's (F) degree range day and night. Iguana care does not need to be a rocket science, there are no special \"\"secrets\"\" that only a few geniuses can reveal to you or sell you. Iguana care is a simple matter, simple yes, but the simple things iguanas need are so often easily confused or neglected in one way or another or made out to be unnecessarily complicated adding to the confusion. It�s been and continues to be a receipt of disaster for iguanas. ( The only thing that is a somewhat complex issue in iguana care would be the behavior of adult male iguanas that develop severe breeding season attack moods) The hard sad fact that continues to go on with captive raised iguanas is that there�s an endless pattern of people raising baby or young iguanas and failing to provide one or more of the simple requirements and these iguanas are doomed to suffer serious bone deformities within several months. THE IGUANA REQUIRES THESE SIMPLE BUT ALL IMPORTANT THINGS:1) HEAT and WARMTH: For brief periods during the day, the iguana needs a rather hot basking spot or area that provides 88 TO 95 (F) degrees but there also has to be a way for the iguana to escape that heat and rest in an area for day and night that's about 75 to 80 (F) degrees. As the iguana gets into temperatures lower than 70 (F) degrees, the iguana's body shuts down resulting in less ability to function, less appetite, less immune system activity, etc. Iguanas can certainly survive even long periods in temperature well below 70 and even 60 (F) degrees but they are just lingering along and not able to function. 2) FOOD and WATER (The base or bulk of the diet has to be true CALCIUM RICH LEAFY PLANTS/VEGETABLES such as collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, dandelion greens (instead of any kind of lettuce which tends to be much to void of necessary calcium)."

Six Wise When the U. S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion compiled their Healthy Eating Index for 1999-2000, they found only a slight reason to smile. Ten percent of the population had a good diet. This was based on 10 aspects including how many servings of fruits, vegetables and meat were being consumed, along with how much sodium and cholesterol, and variety in a person's diet. The rest of their findings left something to be desired:16 percent of the population had a \"\"poor\"\" diet The rest of the population (74 percent) had a diet that \"\"needed improvement\"\"As the USDA pointed out, poor or inadequate diets are linked to four of the top 10 causes of death -- heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes. And as it turns out, most of us have less-than-ideal diets that essentially leave our bodies starving for more nutrients. Along with poor diets, studies have found that key nutrients in foods have declined from 1909 to 1994, likely because the soil is not as nutrient-dense as it once was and processing of foods degrades nutrients that do exist. So not only are we eating fewer healthy foods, but those we do eat contain fewer nutrients than they once did. As a result, many Americans -- even those who think they are eating relatively healthy -- may be suffering from a nutritional deficiency. Some of the more common ones in the United States include: Zinc Iron B vitamins Magnesium Calcium Vitamins E and C Phosphorus Vitamin D Fiber Folic Acid Essential Fatty Acids Chromium If you are experiencing any unusual health symptoms, a nutrient deficiency could be to blame. Below is a list of common and not-so-common nutrients, along with deficiency symptoms and foods you should eat if you think you need more."

In fact, in a recent report published by the Centers for Disease Control that ranked 47 “powerhouse fruits and vegetables,” the green darling only placed 15th (with 49.07 points out of 100 for nutrient density)!

The vitamin is also necessary for the synthesis of proteins found in plasma, bone and the kidneys. The average daily intake of vitamin K in the adult diet is between 60 to 200 micrograms (mcg). The recommended daily intake is 90 mcg for women and 120 mcg for men. Deep green vegetables, like spinach, kale and collard greens, contain the highest amounts of vitamin K. A variety of other fruits and vegetables also make the high list (see list below).

By James T. Cotton Noe (1912)Southerners love their greens. A time-honored tradition in southern kitchens, greens have held an important place on the table for well over a century, and there is no other vegetable that is quite so unique to the region. Greens are any sort of cabbage in which the green leaves do not form a compact head. They are mostly kale, collards, turnip, spinach, and mustard greens. Collard greens are vegetables that are members of the cabbage family, but are also close relatives to kale. Although they are available year-round, they are at their best from January through April. In the Southern states, a large quantity of greens to serve a family is commonly referred to as a “mess o’ greens.” The exact quantity that constitutes a “mess” varies with the size of the family. The traditional way to cook greens is to boil or simmer slowly with a piece of salt pork or ham hock for a long time (this tempers their tough texture and smoothes out their bitter flavor) until they are very soft."

"text": "Dark Green Leafy Vegetables Posted under Health Guides. Updated 24 February 2017. Key Facts Dark green leafy vegetables are good sources of many vitamins (such as vitamins A, C, and K and folate) and minerals (such as iron and calcium ). They’re also great sources of fiber. Research studies suggest that the nutrients found in dark green leafy vegetables may prevent certain types of cancers and promote heart health. It’s recommended that teens eat at least 3 cups of dark green vegetables per week, or about ½ a cup every day. Your body needs a little dietary fat to absorb some of the vitamins found in dark green leafy vegetables. You can do this by adding a bit of olive oil or salad dressing to your dark green leafy vegetables or by eating them with a meal that includes fat such as low-fat milk or cheese. This helps to make sure your body absorbs all of the vitamins you eat. Many preparation methods and recipes for dark leafy greens already contain some type of fat such as oil, butter, or cheese in which case you don’t need to add any more to get those important nutrients."

They are rich in chlorophyll, which alkalinizes the blood, and fiber, which keeps the colon healthy. The USDA recommends eating one-half cup of green leafy vegetables each day to prevent nutrient deficiencies and serious illnesses. There are many varieties of edible green leaves, and they are most nutritious when eaten raw or lightly steamed. Lettuces Dark green lettuces include romaine, green leaf, arugula and butterhead. These nutrient-dense leaves are crisp and slightly bitter, and most people use them to make raw salads. Dark lettuces are rich in vitamins A, C and K; eating them regularly will improve your eyesight, bone health and skin elasticity while helping your blood to clot normally. Combine these leaves with tomatoes, onions, carrots and cucumbers to create a colorful, healthy salad.

"text": "Singular or plural?by Diane Nottle on November 5, 2012 in Uncategorized 21 Comments The most common way to form plurals in English is simply to add -s to a noun: one reporter, two reporters; one desk, two desk s; one laptop, two laptops. So does that mean any noun that ends in -s is automatically plural? Not necessarily. Consider two fields that journalists cover regularly: politics and economics. There’s that quality of character journalists are expected to have and exercise: ethics. And then there’s what the business is all about: news. Let’s start with an old newsroom joke, attributed to various journalists going back as far as New York’s own Horace Greeley (1811-1872):“Are there any news?”“Not a single new. ”Get the picture? News is the aggregate of all the reports of the day; therefore it’s uncountable, singular. Merriam-Webster online describes the word as “noun plural but singular in construction.”"

"text": "Should I use a singular or a plural verb with a collective noun? A collective noun refers to a whole group as a single entity but also to the members of that group. A collective noun names a group of individuals or things with a singular form. Examples of collective nouns are: faculty, herd, team. There are collective nouns for people, animals, objects, and concepts. The use of a singular or plural verb depends on the context of the sentence. If one is referring to the whole group as a single entity, then the singular verb is best: The school board has called a special session. When a group noun is used with a singular determiner (e.g., a/an, each, every, this, that), singular verbs and pronouns are normal: The team is away this weekend; they have a good chance of winning. There are other contexts where the plural verb is more natural: My family are always fighting among themselves. When the individuals in the collection or group receive the emphasis, the plural verb is acceptable."

"text": "Printer Fabulous!Rules for Finding and Fixing Pronoun Agreement Errors What is pronoun agreement? • How do I maintain agreement between the pronoun and the antecedent? Understand the problem. Whenever you use a personal pronoun like she, it, or they, you first have to have an antecedent, the word that the pronoun is replacing. Read this sentence: Gustavo slowed to the speed limit when he saw the police cruiser in the rearview mirror. The pronoun he replaces Gustavo. Pronouns like he will keep you from repeating Gustavo, Gustavo , Gustavo over and over again. The pronoun must agree with its antecedent. To navigate this agreement successfully, you will need to know these singular and plural pronoun forms: Singular Pluralhe, she, it him, her, it his, her, hers, its himself, herself, itself they them their, theirs themselves The general rule for pronoun agreement is straightforward: A singular antecedent requires a singular pronoun; a plural antecedent needs a plural pronoun. Read these examples: The boy scratched his armpit."

In this lesson, you'll find out what collective nouns are as well as how to ensure that you're using the right verbs and pronouns in sentences that contain them. Collective Nouns: Definition You've probably been to a party, or a gathering, or some sort of shindig where you met and got along with a whole lot of people, and you really felt like part of the group. But, have you ever been in a crowded place where, though you were technically a part of the group, you felt isolated, on your own, kind of singular? Keep that alone-in-a-crowd, singular idea in mind as we think about the topic of this lesson: collective nouns. A collective noun is a noun that names a group of people or things. Examples of collective nouns are:bandclasscompanyfamilygovernmentjuryorganizationandteam The most important thing to remember about collective nouns is that even though they name a bunch of people or things, grammatically speaking, they're like that singular person in a crowd. Agreement With Verbs The rule to keep in mind is that collective nouns are singular, so they must be paired with singular verbs. This can be a bit counter-intuitive because we know that collective nouns refer to groups of people and things."

It has been suggested that Collective singular be merged into this article. ( Discuss) Proposed since May 2017. In linguistics, a collective noun is a word that refers to a collection of things taken as a whole. Most collective nouns in everyday speech are mundane and do not identify just one specific kind, such as the word \"\"group\"\", which may apply to \"\"people\"\" in the phrase \"\"a group of people\"\" but may also correctly refer to \"\"dogs\"\", in the phrase \"\"a group of dogs\"\". Other collective nouns are specific to one kind, especially terms of venery, which are words for specific groups of animals. For example, \"\"pride\"\" as a term of venery always refers to lions, never to dogs or cows. Morphological derivation accounts for many collective words and various languages have common affixes for denoting collective nouns; the English endings -age and -ade often signify a collective. Forms of English handle verb agreement with collective count nouns differently; in particular, in British English it is generally accepted that collective nouns can take either singular or plural verb forms depending on the context and the metonymic shift that it implies Contents [ hide ]1 Description2 Derivation3 Affixes3.1 Proto-Indo-European3.2 English3.3 German3.4 Dutch3.5 Swedish3.6 Esperanto4 Metonymic merging of grammatical number4.1 Agreement in different forms of English4.2 Examples of metonymic shift5 Terms of venery6 See also7 References8 Further reading Description [ edit]A collective noun is a word that refers to a collection of things taken as a whole.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For other uses, see Plurality (disambiguation). The plural (sometimes abbreviated PL ), in many languages, is one of the values of the grammatical category of number. Plural of nouns typically denote a quantity other than the default quantity represented by a noun, which is generally one (the form that represents this default quantity is said to be of singular number). Most commonly, therefore, plurals are used to denote two or more of something, although they may also denote more than fractional, zero or negative amounts. An example of a plural is the English word cats, which corresponds to the singular cat. Words of other types, such as verbs, adjectives and pronouns, also frequently have distinct plural forms, which are used in agreement with the number of their associated nouns. Some languages also have a dual (denoting exactly two of something) or other systems of number categories. However, in English and many other languages, singular and plural are the only grammatical numbers, except for possible remnants of the dual in pronouns such as both and either.

"text": "\"Home Improvement Christmas Interior Design Furniture Bedding fashion history Antiques Collectibles Collector Plates Value Collector Plates Value By Kate Miller-Wilson Antique Collector Source Extremely popular in the 1970s and 1980s, collector plates no longer have the exceptional value they once did. In most instances, these plates fetch less than $10 apiece at auction sites, but there are a few examples from notable artists or desirable eras that can fetch thousands of dollars each. The key to investing wisely is in being able to identify the rare and valuable plates on the market. The Collector Plate Market Downturn Collector plates were a hot market several decades ago when many consumers purchased them as investments as well as decorative objects. However, instead of increasing in value, most plates turned out to be worth much less than their original price. According to an interview with antiques expert Harry Rinker in the Allentown Morning Call, most collector plates are now worth about 15% to 25% of their original purchase price. The market went through a sudden downturn in the 1990s. In 2012, Terry Kovel of Kovels.com identified the plates as one of 10 collectibles no longer worth collecting. However, there are a few plates out there that have turned out to be worth the investment. Factors Affecting the Value of Plates According to Antique Trader, some collector plates are regaining their value, in part because baby boomers are purchasing these plates for sentimental reasons."

It may be worth quite a bit more due to it's collectible value than in it's scrap gold value!There is very little profit from extracting the gold content found in most computer chips and electronic components yourself unless you have significant quantities of them to be processed. Refining Gold & other precious metals ( including silver, palladium & platinum) from CPU's & electronics is typically not profitable unless it's done professionally and in large quantities on a large scale; when processing just a few items the cost is often higher than the value of the gold that is reclaimed. More importantly, the process of refining gold involves working closely with hazardous materials includingnitric and hydrochloric acids, as well as Mercury, and should only be performed safely by experienced Gold refiners. Electronic scrap items (CPU's, transistors, RAM memory sticks, motherboards & other Printed Circuit Boards, fingers, connectors, pins, etc.) can be sent to a professional precious metal recycler / refiner who will extract the scrap gold & precious metals from your items safely and efficiently. In return, the customer will typically get paid between 40 to 60% of the final gold content value after refining."

"text": "\"The difference between mono types and mono prints frequently baffles art buyers and sellers alike! Therefore, a description of that difference is useful at the outset. A mono print is one of a series— therefore, not wholly unique. A mono print begins with an etched plate, a serigraph, lithograph or collograph. This underlying image remains the same and is common to each print in a given series. Other means of adding pigment or design are then employed to make each print in the series slightly different. The series of monoprints has a limited number of prints and each is numbered. A mono type is one of a kind, a unique piece of artwork. It is the simplest form of printmaking, requiring only pigments, a surface on which to apply them, paper and some form of press. Frank Howell, the late Santa Fe artist who became an expert with the medium of monotypes, most clearly describes the process: Monotypes are pulled impressions that were drawn or painted on a metal or plexiglass plate."

Hook were fashioned from many items one of the easiest was telegraph wire. Telegraph wire (copper wire was NOT used as telegraph wire until the end of the war, steel alloy) was not insulated and was ordinary single strand wire of a heavier gauge.

Of course, plenty of people call that 1940s dining room set antique but it is not. Interesting, desirable, older objects less than 100 years old are collectibles. When we talk about the value of an antique, we can mean several things. I greatly value the things passed down to me from loved ones and would never part with most of them as the sentimental value is too great.

What distinguishes New Jersey license plates? A. Their color: goldfinch yellow, fading to pale yellow at the bottom of the plate, with black letters and numbers. The bright yellow band across the top makes it easy for the police to distinguish them from other states' plates. They also have a series of circular holograms down the center to deter counterfeiters. Q. Who picked the design? A. After the State Legislature mandated high-contrast, reflective plates in 1989, five people were appointed to the Reflectorized License Plate Selection Commission to determine the appearance. Q. Did the commission consider any other color combinations? A. \"\"We knew a light-colored background plate would reflect best, and we didn't want anything too close to what nearby states had, so we settled on goldfinch,\"\" said one commission member, Charles Walton, who is president of the New Jersey Coalition of Auto Retailers. \"\""

Remember to bring the previous owner's signed registration document and a signed Transfer of Ownership form with you. Keep in mind, if you're planning to park it on a public street (even in a permitted zone), most municipalities require any vehicle parked on the street to have valid licence plates.

The first model Pflueger Supreme is perhaps the most interesting of the long line of Pflueger fishing reels. It had an automatic free-spool and an adjustable anti-backlash. Each reel was serialized. The reel feature that is really innovative are the little flippers at the ends for putting the line into the top of the level wind. As the level wind is traversing during the line retrieve, it pushes the line into the flippers. The older, high quality reels are sought after by collectors. The later level wind models were mass produced and are quite common among collectors."

This dinnerware, with scenes from Currier & Ives prints, was produced from 1950 to 1986. It was given away as a point-of-sale premium at A&P markets with extra pieces available to complete the set and was also sold at department stores. I've only been collecting for a short time so I cannot claim to be an expert. However I have done quite a bit of research and am happy to share the results with you. I was first bitten by the C&I collector's bug at a thrift store. I spotted a set of C&I china and recognized the pattern as one that had been owned by my grandmother. I was immediately transported back to those happier simpler days when the whole family would sit at the table for a home-cooked meal. I think that's what attracts most people to this dinnerware. The nostalgic prints and vintage china bring back the 'good old days'."

Second, we want to give the aspiring collector a concise “how to” guide for identifying and evaluating ABP pieces. Finally, we want to share some advice about collecting and suggest a few good places to go “treasure hunting”. We were inspired to write this article for two reasons. We feel that ABP glass is a collectable that has high intrinsic beauty and historical value. Much of it is now over 100 years old (making it a “true” antique). It is hand crafted and exhibits excellence in design, form and detail that simply can’t be matched by modern crystal. At the same time, ABP pieces remain very reasonably priced. Collectors can pick up small, simple pieces for less than $20. Even large, high quality pieces such as punch bowls, decanters and serving trays can be purchased for less than $500."

Even in gloomy, rainy Seattle, they are saving money and energy by heating all of their water with the power of the sun. “With a lack of leadership at the federal level, I feel it’s very important that we all do what we can to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gases,” says Rudensey. “ Solar hot water systems are a great place to start. They’re not as expensive as solar photovoltaics, and they’ll save you substantial amounts of energy and money. ”Looking at his household energy bills, Lyle notes that it’s hard to quantify the exact dollar amount the new water heater has saved, because he and Bob also installed energy-efficient appliances and a solar photovoltaic system last year, as part of an overall strategy to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. Still, according to the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), water heating uses more household energy than any activity other than heating and cooling, so replacing your household’s water-heating energy with free power from the sun will have a significant effect on your bottom line. With all their savings combined, Lyle points out that his and Bob’s electric bills have dropped to a low of $5.“Plus, the water heater increased the value of the house,” Allen adds. “ And it’s a hedge against future energy cost increases. ”Allen and Rudensey installed an active solar water heater with evacuated tube collectors, which they say works great in the Pacific Northwest, because the heater keeps working even on overcast days or when temperatures are freezing outside."

Programming is one of the highest paying and most in-demand careers you can find these days—and it doesn’t require a four-year degree. Coding boot camps promise to get you job-ready in a relatively short amount of time. Over 60 boot camps have risen up in the last few years to meet the needs of career changers and others looking to get on the fast track to a nearly six-figure job in software development. These programs—usually 8 to 12 weeks long and costing $10,000 on average—offer hands-on training, career guidance and community support, and the opportunity to work on personal projects you can showcase to prospective employers."

[ Find out how to kick off student loan repayment . ] For six months after graduation (or after leaving school or dropping below a half-time credit load), federal Stafford loan holders enter a grace period in which they don't have to make student loan repayments.

But that doesn't mean it's a half-year vacation from thinking about your student loan burden, experts caution. \"\" It's easy for people to want to forget about the fact that they might have some debt looming over them, but they need to plan and attack it head on,\"\" says Erin Wolfe, associate director of financial aid at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania.

"text": "BUSINESS 09/19/2013 07:43 am ET Updated Sep 19, 2013How For-Profit Colleges Stay In Business Despite Terrible Track Record By Chris Kirkham and Kevin Short Damon Dahlen, Huffington Post By every available indication, Corinthian Colleges Inc., one of the country’s largest chains of for-profit colleges, stands out as an institution whose students face especially long odds of success. At nearly half of Corinthian’s schools, more than 30 percent of students default on their federal loans within three years of leaving campus, according to the most recent federal data. California last year cited excessively high default rates in denying access to state tuition grants at 23 of the company’s campuses. Over the last three years, attorneys general in eight states and the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have probed Corinthian’s recruitment claims and financial aid practices, raising the prospect of lawsuits. Yet by the reckoning of the accrediting bodies that are supposed to scrutinize Corinthian’s 97 U. S. campuses, its schools are meeting standards on student debt and adequately preparing graduates for jobs. Over the past decade, Corinthian’s schools have remained fully accredited, enabling the publicly traded company to tap federal student aid coffers for nearly $10 billion, or more than 80 percent of its total revenues, according to a Huffington Post review of securities filings and disciplinary records maintained by its accreditors. Corinthian’s success in maintaining accreditation even as its students sink into default typifies the state of play in the for-profit college industry and underscores both the incentives and the provenance of the people doing the accrediting work: Accrediting agencies receive their funding from fees paid by the very colleges they monitor. The review teams they dispatch to visit and rate schools are composed of volunteers from other schools accredited by the same agencies. During a congressional hearing on higher education policy held earlier this year, one expert likened this arrangement to the cozy practices that fueled the last financial crisis, when Wall Street banks hired credit-rating agencies to certify the sanctity of the bonds they forged from risky mortgages. “This is like bond ratings firms giving AAA ratings to mortgage-backed securities sold by the same firms that pay their fees,” Kevin Carey, the director of education policy at the New America Foundation, said at the hearing. “"

In fact, about 400,000 student athletes participate in athletic games each year, and thousands receive scholarships to do so. But the life of an athlete in college is not always as fun as it seems, and there are some hard truths to face if you’re interested in becoming a student athlete. Read on, and we’ll share information about scholarships, going pro, and managing your time on campus. Full ride athletic scholarships technically don’t exist Athletic scholarships can only be given out one year at a time, so promises of a full ride scholarship can be pretty thin. They are renewed each year at the coach’s discretion for a maximum of five years within a six-year period. Even then, there’s a good chance your scholarship won’t even cover the cost of tuition, with the average athletic scholarship coming out to about $10,400. Outside of football and men’s basketball, the average is $8,700. The odds of receiving a scholarship aren’t high We’ve explained why athletic scholarships aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, but chances are, you won’t have to worry about how good your scholarship is, because you’re not getting one. About 250,000 high school seniors play basketball every year, but only about 12,000 of those same seniors will receive a scholarship to play basketball at the collegiate level."

As the state weathered scandals over the way some districts calculated graduation rates, it became identified in national reports as the epicenter for chronically underperforming schools known as “dropout factories. ”Now the percentage of Texas students earning their high school diplomas on time exceeds that of nearly every other state. A U. S. Department of Education report released in April showed Texas tied for second place — one spot higher than the previous year — with only Iowa reporting a higher rate for 2012. In August, the Texas Education Agency announced another year of record-breaking high school graduation rates, which have been rising since 2007. It reported that 88 percent of public school students in the class of 2013 earned a diploma within four years. Many districts, including the state’s five largest, are reporting their fourth or fifth straight year of rising graduation rates. Policy makers and school leaders have greeted the gains with cautious optimism, and have credited a number of programs at the state and local levels. “With additional flexibility now provided to school districts, we should expect graduation numbers to remain strong with all students better prepared for life after high school in college, the workplace or military,” Michael Williams, Texas’ education commissioner, said in an August statement, referring to a new law that restructured the state’s high school curriculum requirements. But the state’s headway with graduation rates has not been matched by similar success in measures that track students’ college and career readiness, prompting questions about what it takes to earn a high school diploma."

All colleges and universities are required by NCAA legislation and federal law (the Student Right-to-Know act from 1990) to report student graduation rates, and those institutions offering athletics aid are required to report for their student-athletes as well. The NCAA acquires student-athlete graduation rate data from the Department of Education’s Integrated Post-Secondary Data System Graduation Rate Survey (IPEDS-GRS). Read NCAA Graduation Rates: A Quarter-Century of Tracking Academic Success The student-athlete graduation rate calculated directly based on IPEDS-GRS (which is the methodology the U. S. Department of Education requires) is the proportion of first-year, full-time student-athletes who entered a school on athletics aid and graduated from that institution within six years. This federal rate does not account for students who transfer from their original institution and graduate elsewhere; they are considered non-graduates at both the college they left and the one from which they eventually graduate. Read DI African-American student-athletes graduate at record rates NCAA members, particularly presidents and chancellors, asked the NCAA in the early 2000s to develop a measure of student-athlete graduation success that more accurately reflects modern-day patterns of student enrollment and transfer. As a result, the NCAA created the Graduation Success Rate (GSR) for Division I and the Academic Success Rate (ASR) for Division II. Read How graduation rates are calculated (.pdf)The NCAA GSR differs from the federal calculation in two important ways. First, the GSR holds colleges accountable for those student-athletes who transfer into their school. Second, the GSR does not penalize colleges whose student-athletes transfer in good academic standing."

"text": "50 Most Affordable Online RN to BSN Programs 2018By Contributing Editor Degree Finder For Nurses123Search Colleges Sponsored Schools In the world of nursing, as in many fields, professional advancement is not dependent solely upon what a phenomenal nurse you are, but also which degrees you obtained while you were becoming a phenomenal nurse. Finding an affordable program that ROI’s is pretty high up there too. While the rate of pay is not always the biggest difference between RNs who have their two-year degree, and those who have their Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing, the opportunity to continue growing into more challenging and dynamic positions as a nurse certainly is. Registered nurses who have their BSN degree have the opportunity to achieve a masters of science in nursing, as well as to become nurse supervisors, and have access to certificate programs that lead to an increase in pay and valuable professional experiences. Plus, the American Nurses Association has encouraged all two-year degree holding RNs to go for their BSN, while they determine if they are going to make the four-year title a minimum requirement for practicing nursing!Okay, we have convinced you to go for the BSN. Congratulations! Now how much is it going to cost you? While working hard as an RN, finding an affordable degree program should factor in as much, if not more than any other variable. Our editors have gathered the top 50 most affordable online RN-to-BSN completion programs in the country, paying close attention not only to schools whose nursing program is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, or CCNE (all of the following are), and not only fully online nursing programs (all of the following are that also), but also schools that are less than $340 per credit hour (based on online and/or out-of-state cost per credit). In this competitive economy, a working student has a lot of things to think about."

With more jobs requiring a degree than ever before and tuition rates consistently climbing, it’s important that students find the perfect college. Graduation rates, tuition fees and financial aid are just a few things you need to take into account before selecting a school; you’ll also want to evaluate the degree offerings and academic reputation of each college you’re considering. Best Colleges in Illinois Recent reports indicate that college graduates earn about $400 more per week than those with a high school diploma. College graduates are more satisfied with their jobs than non-degree holders, and a bachelor’s degree also reduces your chances of unemployment. Furthermore, despite an expensive price tag, the higher salary college graduates earn in their first four years on the job offsets the cost of college. Simply put, a college that offers a quality education and a rich learning environment will give you a marketable degree and a chance to pursue a challenging and rewarding career. Considering that selective schools produce much higher graduation rates than non-selective schools, it’s important to consider acceptance rate when evaluating colleges. While acceptance rates vary among the 115 4-year colleges in Illinois, the University of Chicago at 8.8% and Northwestern University at 15.3% are the state’s most selective schools. Not coincidentally, they boast some of the highest graduation rates in the country, with 86% of students earning a degree."

"text": "The White House Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release January 09, 2015FACT SHEET - White House Unveils America’s College Promise Proposal: Tuition-Free Community College for Responsible Students Nearly a century ago, a movement that made high school widely available helped lead to rapid growth in the education and skills training of Americans, driving decades of economic growth and prosperity. America thrived in the 20 th century in large part because we had the most educated workforce in the world. But other nations have matched or exceeded the secret to our success. Today, more than ever, Americans need more knowledge and skills to meet the demands of a growing global economy without having to take on decades of debt before they even embark on their career. Today the President is unveiling the America’s College Promise proposal to make two years of community college free for responsible students, letting students earn the first half of a bachelor’s degree and earn skills needed in the workforce at no cost. This proposal will require everyone to do their part: community colleges must strengthen their programs and increase the number of students who graduate, states must invest more in higher education and training, and students must take responsibility for their education, earn good grades, and stay on track to graduate. The program would be undertaken in partnership with states and is inspired by new programs in Tennessee and Chicago. If all states participate, an estimated 9 million students could benefit. A full-time community college student could save an average of $3,800 in tuition per year. In addition, today the President will propose a new American Technical Training Fund to expand innovative, high-quality technical training programs similar to Tennessee Tech Centers that meet employer needs and help prepare more Americans for better paying jobs."

Answer by K9s Confidence votes 8Although the rough Collie played a part in the development of the Shetland Sheepdog breed, they are distinctly different breeds with different characteristics. The differences in structure between the two have been compared to the differences between a pony and a horse. If a Shetland Sheepdog were the same size as a Collie, it would be a much stockier dog with heavier bone. The head of the Shetland Sheepdog is comparitively shorter and wider in the back, the eye is a bit larger and there is usually a distinct \"\"stop\"\" between the head and the muzzle when viewed from the side. In personality, most Collies are more sedate and laid back than Shetland Sheepdogs, most of which are high-energy dogs.4 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "\"Athro, Limited Biology Genetics Sheltie Coats Sheltie Coat Color Genes The Sheltie (Shetland Sheepdog) is a breed of small herding dogs. The breed originated in the Shetland Islands. Originally, Shelties were bred by crofters as to keep sheep out of their vegetable gardens and to warn of intruders. During the development of the modern sheltie breed, known crosses were made with Collies. Thus the coat colors and markings of the Sheltie and the Collie are similar. Here we describe what is known about Sheltie coat color genes, and present an interactive coat color calculator that lets you choose the parent's coat colors and see what colors of offspring you could get. Shelties have lots of different coat colors: Golden Sable Shaded Sable Shetland Sheepdog Coat Colors Bi-black Tricolor Blue merle Bi-blue Sable merle Double merle These are the main coat color phenotypes observed in the Sheltie. These coat colors are controled by a set of genes. The genetics of coat color in dogs in general is fairly complex. There are genes that determine basic body color, and others that determine the pattern of the markings, and others that are simply not well understood."

Koolies are typically slightly longer than tall and resemble a cross between a Border Collie and an Australian Cattle Dog, dogs with whom they likely share ancestry. The Koolie is thought to be descended from the same Collie types that were brought to Australia for the kennels of Thomas S. Hall; some believe that they are the direct descendents of Hall's dogs. This, if true, would make the Koolie the oldest of Australia's breeds. The dog was originally referred to as a German Coolie or simply Coolie; theories vary as to why they were so called. It may be because German settlers used similar herding dogs, or from the word coolie used as an ethnic pejorative. To avoid unpleasant connotations and also so that the breed's Australian origins are not confused, the Koolie Club of Australia officially changed the breed name and most enthusiasts use the current spelling, although the variants are also seen. Koolies are much sought after in rural Australia. The Koolie will 'head', 'heel', and 'back', literally jump onto the backs of the animals they are herding if necessary. Koolies have a reputation for herding anything from ducks to bulls."

While intestinal worms can create problems, they're generally not severe and are pretty easy to treat. Heartworms are quite different.. and definitely dangerous. Symptoms of heartworm infestation usually don't appear until your pup/dog is very ill, and left untreated it can be fatal. If you catch the disease early enough it can be treated successfully - but the treatment is long, expensive and complicated. That's why prevention is the key to protecting your pet!How To Prevent Heartworm In Dogs Heartworms have a long life-cycle, and early symptoms are pretty much non-existent, so prevention is the only way to really keep your pup safe. You should start your puppy on a heartworm preventative medication as soon as he's 8 weeks old. Lots of vets give a free sample of Heartgard for pups at their first puppy check up, after that it's up to you. These medicines need to be given once a month (without fail), during mosquito season. It's best to start one month before mosquitoes appear and ending one month after the season ends."

The two breeds have similar coloring, coats, and body structures. They are both bred from the Border Collie of Scotland so there is no doubt they are going to look alike. The Sheltie was bred with smaller dogs to acquire its size. This article will discuss the similarities between the Collie and the Sheltie as well as ways to determine the differences between the two breeds. The Collie’s coat can be found in four main colors, white, sable/white, tricolor, and blue merle. The tricolor coat is mainly black with sable, white, and tan markings. The blue merle coloring is marbled with blue, gray, and white. Similarly to the Collie, the Sheltie can also be found in blue merle and sable, both with tan and white markings. But, unlike the Collie, the Sheltie can also have an almost fully black coat, as shown below."

The most noticable difference is size, with the Shetland sheepdog standard calling for 13-16 inches. The proper sheltie head should have two parrallel planes with a noticible stop. The sheltie is reserved with strangers but loyal and affectionate with their family. Sheltie colors include black, sable, and blue merle, all with varying amounts of white, and some with tan points. In other words, they can come in bi-colors, like black and white, or blue merle and white. Collies don't have the bi-color gene."

"text": "Dermatomysositis in a Collie dog [1]Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic immune-mediatedskin disease characterized by inflammation of skin, connective tissue and underlying skeletal muscle [2] . This condition is most commonly found in the Collie and Shetland Sheepdog [3]. Breeding trials conducted in collie dogs suggest a dominant mode of inheritance. Although immunologic mechanisms have been proposed for the pathogenesis of canine dermatomyositis, the etiology is unknown [4] . In young dogs with familial dermatomyositis, skin lesions typically develop first with variable myopathies occurring later, similar to what is observed with human dermatomyositis. Lesions are characterized by papules, vesicles, pustules, and focal alopecia of the face, ears, tail, and extremities [5] . Ulcerative dermatosis may be a variant of this condition. occurring in middle-aged to older dogs as blisters and crusting in the inguinal and axilla regions. Diagnosis usually requires skin biopsy to confirm a suspicion. The most consistent cutaneous histologic features of dermatomyositis are an inflammatory alopecia characterized by follicular atrophy and perifollicular inflammation [6] . Biochemical levels of creatine kinase and aspartate aminotransferase are generally elevated in affected dogs and electromyographic abnormalities."

"text": "\"The Fun Times Guide > Dog Guide > Home & Garden > Puppy Care Tips For New Dog Owners > Dog Breed Selector >List Of Hybrid Dogs & Their Unusual Mixed Breed Names Following is a list of hybrid dog breeds, according to the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC) — so you’ll know what to call your mixed breed dogs… instead of just calling them mutts. Can you guess what the most common cross breed dog is? It’s the Poodle. Maybe that’s because the Poodle is the only dog that comes in 3 sizes — all of which are very popular. So that means there are many more dogs (toy, miniature, and standard sizes) that can be paired with a Poodle. It probably also has something to do with the fact that Poodles have some fantastic features and characteristics — like they’re super smart, their fur is hypoallergenic, and they don’t shed. The Day I Realized Hybrid Dog Breeds Were Here To Stay I’ve always had dogs: Before I knew better (when I was in college), I bought purebred dogs and raised them from puppyhood through their senior years. Since college (which is most of my adult life), I’ve rescued mixed breed dogs — or mutts — instead and have always raised them from puppies to old age as well. Currently, I have a Labrador Retriever / Great Pyrenees (which we call a Great Lab), a Shepherd / Beagle (which we call a Sheagle), and a Golden Retriever / Great Pyrenees (a Golden Pyrenees). These days, a lot of people are purposely choosing hybrid dog breeds or designer dog breeds instead of everyday mutts and rescue dogs."

Border collie is one of the famous breeds of collies, and it would be interesting to explore the distinction of them among all the collies as discussed in this article. Collie Collie is a collection of dog breeds developed as herding dogs, and it is originated in Scotland and Northern England. Collies generally include small to medium sized lightly built dog breeds, but they are strong and active. Usually, they range from 10 to 20 kilograms in their bodyweights. They all have a characteristically pointed snout. However, the fur could be different depending on the type of the collie; it could be long, short, rough, or smooth. The characteristics of the tail would be important to consider, and it could be smooth, feathered, bushy, and sometimes docked. Collies have a range of colours and colourations, both among breeds and individuals of the same breed. Usually, they could be black, black-and-tan, red, red-and-tan, or sable with white bellies and shoulders."

Below is a list of the most popular hybrid dogs. The best way to determine the traits of a mixed breed is to look up all breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the characteristics found in all breeds. The Dog Breed Info Center® does not attempt to interpret the temperaments of each individual hybrid mix because the differences in the dogs, even within the same litter, can vary greatly. If you do not feel the temperament of one of the purebreds in the mix is suited for your lifestyle, then that hybrid dog is not for you. Do not take a gamble that the puppy or dog will turn out like the other breed in the mix. Choosing a dog simply for its looks is a foolish way to choose a dog."

Eco Dyn also develops models to forecast impacts of multiple stressors e.g., invasive species, climate, and nutrients on Great Lakes water quality, food webs and fisheries. Eco Dyn observations, laboratory, and field experiments support the development of new concepts, models, forecasting tools and applications to evaluate and forecast impacts of, and mitigation strategies for, present and future stressors. The Eco Dyn branch strives to anticipate, monitor, analyze, understand, and forecast changes in the Great Lakes and coastal ecosystems to strengthen capacity for managing water quality, fisheries, and ecosystem and human health. Sampling a harmful algal bloom in western Lake Erie near the Toledo water intake crib Observations and Experiments Eco Dyn’s field observations and process-based studies are supported by the laboratory facilities in Ann Arbor as well as the laboratories and vessel fleet housed at the Lake Michigan Field Station (LMFS) in Muskegon. GLERL’s largest vessel, the R/V Laurentian, is equipped with gear capable of sampling the entire food web from microbes to fishes (see sidebar). The LMFS’s proximity to Lake Michigan provides the capacity to process time-critical samples immediately after collection and the ability to sample during episodic events e.g., upwelling, spring flooding or short weather windows during inclement periods. The laboratories in Ann Arbor allow measurement of a suite of variables in support of field observations and process experiments. Key to Eco Dyn’s operation is acquisition and maintenance of critical equipment. For more details on GLERL’s critical equipment, see Appendix H in the GLERL Strategic Plan."

Izaak Walton said about carp in The Compleat Angler, \"\"The Carp is the queen of rivers; a stately, a good, and a very subtil fish; that was not at first bred, nor hath been long in England, but is now naturalised\"\".

Many find rivers to provide some of the most challenging, but rewarding, fishing. For rivers that connect directly with the ocean, the largest carp often reside in the stretch between the beginning of the tidal influence and where the salinity becomes intolerable to the carp. For example, a carp of 42.03 pounds was caught from the tidal stretch of the lower Connecticut River in southern Connecticut. Bowfishing for carp is a fast-growing sport. When properly used as part of an integrated management plan it may help limit the negative impact of carp. Dr. Sorenson U of Minnesota is completing the common carp management plan which will also advocate catch-and-keep carp sport fishing."

One of the few fish species which eat plants, grass carp may provide a low-cost, long-term, herbicide-free means of dealing with problem plants in your pond or lake. The designation of triploid signifies that they have been genetically altered at hatcheries to prevent the fish from spawning in Florida waters. A United States Fish and Wildlife Service inspection program helps certify the ploidy of the fish based on a procedure developed by Florida fisheries biologists (Wattendorf, Robert J., 1986.

For some of us it was a neighborhood pond or a neighbor's farm pond, while for the more urban set it was a City park pond festooned with bread-frenzied ducks. For some it was a small creek or canal but many of the tactics presented here will apply. For the youngster, these waters hold mysterious monster fish as big as cars, though it only seems like what we caught could probably fit in a grown-up's pocket. Little did you know that large fish often can and do lurk in these little bodies of water, and even if you don't hook the pond beast, excellent fishing can be had in the little puddle sized ponds of our youth!Know the ponds ecology and which fish inhabit it and tailor your offerings accordingly.-Related Articles: -- Pond & Lake Ecology, -- Pond Tactics Find out what kinds of fish inhabit the pond. If it is a very small, shallow pond this can be as simple as doning a pair of polarized sunglasses and walking around the pond (best done around midday to make sure the sun is in a good spot for viewing), noting what kinds of fish, vegitation, and bottom you see."

"text": "Pole Elastic: The Basics When we start talking about pole fishing, there are loads of different items that spring to mind, many of which might seem confusing to the novice angler……elastics, bushes, bungs, connectors, pull bungs, stora bungs, locking bushes, internal, external, hydro, hollow, solid, latex, dacron, lubricant it just goes on! In this article, we hope to explain about different kinds of elastics, what they’re all about, and when/where to use them!Elastics…To fish the pole, you need to thread elastic through the top two or three sections to act as a shock absorber. You can be easily baffled with the wide range of elastics that are available nowadays. Elastics range from a really fine number one ‘knicker elastic’ to really heavy versions of 25+ ‘bull rope’. Solid…Sensas Solid Elastic Solid elastics were the very first kind on the market, and at one point, were the only elastic available. Many anglers still favour solid elastics for all kinds of fishing. It’s available in all sizes from a number 1 right up to 25. The basic ruling for solid elastic is the bigger the fish, the heavier the elastic, although big fish can still be landed on light elastics. Most companies still manufacture solid elastic, and it’s probably the cheapest kind of elastic that is now available at around £1.99 for 5 metres. Solid elastic is excellent for ‘small fish’ on natural venues, such as rivers, canals and lakes, where anything from a number 2 to 6 is required."

"text": "DNR Fishing Common Carp and Suckers Though not considered game fish by most anglers, common carp and suckers (white, longnose, northern hog and redhorse) provide much angling enjoyment -- as well as table fare -- to many Michigan anglers. They are fair game for all manner of anglers, including those who spear and bowfish. Suckers are among the first fish to attract attention in the spring as they begin their upriver spawning runs, often before the ice is off of inland lakes. Anglers line the banks, fishing the bottom in the deep holes below riffles with earthworms. Suckers can be found in virtually all the state's rivers, including most trout streams. In some places they can be taken with dip nets. They are often smoked or ground and made into patties or cakes for the table. Originally from the Caspian Sea region, common carp were first introduced to ponds and springs in the U. S. in the mid-1800's by entrepreneurs supplying local fish markets. By the 1880's the U. S. Fish Commission was actively stocking rivers and streams across the country with tanker-loads of common carp imported from Germany, hoping to provide an abundant food source to rural populations. Common carp have long been considered a nuisance species in Michigan, but they should not be confused with invasive carp species, including bighead, silver and black carps."

It closely resembles other members of this family such as Elodea canadensis (native to Washington) and Egeria densa (native to South America, though established in many western Washington lakes). Several members of this family are popular with the aquarium and nursery industry because they are hardy, tolerant plants. Consequently, some have become severe pest problems where introduced to waters outside their native range. Hydrilla verticillata is the only species in this genus, yet it shares characteristics with other genera in its family. Because of this, correct identification is imperative. Another complicating factor is that hydrilla can be either monoecious (both male and female flowers on the same plant) or dioecious (male and female flowers on different plants). Each has some unique growth characteristics. It is the monoecious type that has been found in Washington State. Economic Importance In areas of North America where hydrilla has become established, hydrilla has major detrimental impacts on water use."

"text": "Common carp, German carp, European carp (Cyprinus carpio)Common carp Common carp Species and Origin: The common carp is a large omnivorous fish. They have large scales, a long dorsal fin base, and two pairs of long barbels (whiskers) in its upper jaw. Native to Europe and Asia, it was intentionally introduced into Midwest waters as a game fish in the 1880s. ( Be aware of a native look-a-like: the native fish bigmouth buffalo looks like a carp without barbells)Impacts: Common carp are one of the most damaging aquatic invasive species due to its wide distribution and severe impacts in shallow lakes and wetlands Their feeding disrupts shallowly rooted plants muddying the water They release phosphorus that increases algae abundance Carp induced declines in water quality causes declines of aquatic plants needed by waterfowl and fish Status: They are established in 48 states. They are distributed in hundreds of waters in the southern two-thirds, and a few waters in the northern third of Minnesota. See US map . Means of spread: The incidental inclusion and later release of live bait spreads common carp. Where to look: They live in lakes, rivers, and wetlands and are often seen in spring when they spawn in shallow waters. Regulatory Classification: It is a regulated invasive species (DNR), which means introduction into the wild is prohibited. Fish caught while angling may be returned to the same water body."

I was walking around the north end of the lake just before dark. The shallow water there is dotted with tufts of grassy weeds and is clear enough to see straight to the bottom. It was a still evening. The lake mirrored the sky just the way I like and I was taking my time, admiring the view. Suddenly, I heard a loud splash and saw ripples in the water. My immediate reaction was to stop and gaze directly toward the spot in the water. The ripples receded, but moments later it happened again. Something large and white emerged from the lake -- not in a jumping motion but with a determined upward lift."

In this case, supply is not the problem. For years, invasive silver and bighead carp have choked the Illinois River and its tributaries, becoming so numerous they outweigh all other fish in the river combined. Asian carp have been reproducing exponentially ever since they escaped from fish-rearing ponds in the southern United States and began their invasion of the Mississippi River and then the Illinois. Asian carp are prolific breeders that filter microscopic plants and animals out of the water. All fish rely on these tiny organisms — known as plankton — at some time during their life cycle. Scientists are afraid that Asian carp could at some point out-compete native fish for food. Getting rid of them seems impossible. No one knows how to stop them, and electric fish barriers can only slow them down. Recently, a west-central Illinois fish processing company found a way to turn an intractable problem into a business opportunity."

( Anonymous)Answer: Thanks for your question. We’ve received many similar questions in recent days. For the 2017 dove season opening statewide Sept. 1, lead shot is permitted for the taking of Eurasian collared-doves, mourning doves and white-winged doves – as long as you are hunting outside of a state wildlife area or ecological reserve. California is phasing-in the use of nonlead ammunition for hunting. Until July 1, 2019, doves quail and snipe will not be included in the nonlead shot requirements unless hunting on state wildlife areas or ecological reserves where nonlead shot is required for all hunting.

Contunico © ZDF Enterprises Gmb H, Mainz Most introduced species do not survive extended periods in new habitats, because they do not possess the evolutionary adaptations to adjust to the challenges posed by their new surroundings. Some introduced species may become invasive when they possess a built-in competitive advantage over indigenous species in invaded areas. Under these circumstances, new arrivals can establish breeding populations and thrive, especially if the ecosystem lacks natural predators capable of keeping them in check. The ecological disruption that tends to follow such invasions often reduces the ecosystem’s biodiversity and causes economic harm to people who depend on the ecosystem’s biological resources. Invasive predators may be so adept at capturing prey that prey populations decline over time, and many prey species are eliminated from affected ecosystems. Other invasive species, in contrast, may prevent native species from obtaining food, living space, or other resources. Over time, invading species can effectively replace native ones, often forcing the localized extinction of many native species."

It is run as an exclusive 10 man syndicate running from 1st February to 31st November with Decemeber and January as the close season, to give the carp a break. There are very few syndicates with as little members as this around, making it perfect for the angler with limited time. The small membership also offers you the chance to do your own thing without the worry of turning back up to a lake full of anglers. Since being dug some 8 or 9 years ago, the lake has matured greatly into what is now a beautiful fishery - nicknamed by some as “The Garden Pond”, due to its well extremely well kept nature. The fishery manager James has paid great attention to keeping the place looking like a golf course. The lake has an average depth of 6-9ft - there are 3 islands, reed beds, pads, gravel bars and plenty of other features offering you a wide variety of angling situations to challenge yourself with. No matter what style of fishing you are into you will be able to do it here with success. Stocked with 80-90 carp there is a good head of fish for the size of the water. Within the lake there are 15 recorded 30lb+ carp, with commons to 36lbs and mirrors up to 38lbs."

The average Briton has his or her fair share of preconceptions about fishing, of course. It's boring. It's always raining. Only old people go fishing. Only old blokes go fishing. The only fish you ever catch are tiny (yet in every pond there is a giant pike big enough to swallow a swan whole). So, in an effort to bridge the divide, here are my top ten things that no one tells you before you take up the UK's favourite sport.1. Everything smells The fish smell.

"text": "\"What the Oregon Standoff Is Really About Forget the Bundys and \"\"terrorism\"\"—the real crime is what federal bullies do to ranchers like the Hammond family. By Justin Raimondo • January 7, 2016Tweet Olivier Le Queinec / Shutterstock.com The occupation of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Burns, Oregon, by a group led by Ammon Bundy—yes, of those Bundys —was supposed to have focused attention on the plight of a rancher family that has been fighting decades-long efforts by federal officials to drive them off their land. Instead, this dramatic act of civil disobedience has done the opposite: amid debates over the Bundy family, their tactics, and ideology, the focus has been taken off the Hammond family, and their struggle to preserve their land and their way of life has been largely obscured. This is their story. Dwight Hammond and his wife Susan bought their ranch in 1964. The Hammond ranch consists of 6,000 acres, grazing rights in four areas on public land, and rights at three separate water sources. They live in a small ranch house—a beautiful structure of stone and hand-hewn wood—on the property. The land sits in Oregon’s Harney Basin, an area first settled at the tail end of the 19th century. While the narrative we are getting in the media depicts the ranchers as despoilers of the land, implacable enemies of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge established by Teddy Roosevelt in 1908, the true history of the region shows that the “cowboys” who lived there and ran as many as 300,000 head of cattle were in fact its best defenders. Without them, there would be no Malheur Wildlife Refuge."

Aquatic stores and clown fish breeders reported a significant increase in the popularity of the clown fish although many people did not realise the work that goes into keeping marine fish so sadly, the majority of clown fish bought at the time quickly died. The clown fish is also famous for it's seeming immunity to the stings of the sea anemone. Most clown fish are found either in or around sea anemones which the clown fish inhabits both for protection from predators but also the readiness of food. Clown fish inhabit a single sea anemone in groups that include the breeding male and female and a number of younger male clown fish. All clown fish are born male and develop female reproductive organs when needed."

Clownfish and anemones live together in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship. They protect each other from predators. Photograph by Mikael Kvist/ Moment/Getty Images What Is Mutualism? Mutulaism describes a type of mutually beneficial relationship between organisms of different species. It is a symbiotic relationship in which two different species interact with and in some cases, totally rely on one another for survival. Other types of symbiotic relationships include parasitism (one species benefits and the other is harmed) and commensalism (one species benefits without harming or helping the other). Organisms live in mutualistic relationships for a number of important reasons. Some of these reasons include for shelter, protection, nutrition, and for reproductive purposes. Types of Mutualism Mutualistic relationships can be categorized as either obligate or facultative."

You have the urge to put more fish in the tank so your betta can have friends, but unfortunately, bettas or \"\"Siamese fighting fish\"\" are known to be territorial fighters. Males, especially, will kill other males and many other different types of fish if he believes they're a threat to his tank. You can keep two or more female bettas together, but aggression could occur. A male and a female betta sharing the same tank is not recommended because the male might be violent and kill the female to show dominance. Fortunately, there are some fish that your betta will tolerate. Below, we'll discuss possible species of fish that your betta will likely get along with."

"text": "\"Raising Clownfish Nick Dakin Family: Pomacentridae The spawning of clownfish nearly always takes place in the late afternoon and is a delightful scene to observe. A common precursor to this and a good indication of imminent egg laying is the ritual cleaning of the chosen spawning site. Both male and female clean the site vigorously with their mouths until they are both satisfied that the surface will be suitable. Meanwhile, the egg laying tube, or ovipositor will have become clearly visible in the female, while the male's fertilisation tube may only just be obvious. The female will then glide over the area, depositing a neat row of sticky eggs as she goes. The male follows closely behind to fertilise the line of eggs. It is a process that will be repeated many times until a clutch of yellow/orange eggs is formed in a tight group. Commonly between 200-800 eggs may be deposited at any one spawning. Care Of The Spawn The male takes on the main responsibility for looking after the eggs. He will remove those eggs that are infertile and frequently mouth the viable ones."

Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Clownfish lay eggs on any flat surface close to or under the protection of their host anemones. In the wild, clownfish spawn around full moon and the male guards them until they hatch about 6 to 10 days later, typically 2 hours after darkness starts. Clownfish are omnivorous: in the wild they eat live food such as algae, plankton, molluscs and crustacea; in captivity they can survive on live meat, fish flakes and fish pellets. They feed mostly on copepods and mysids, and the undigested excrement from their host anemones.♥Starchaser♥ · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Clown Fish Eggs Source (s):https://shrinks.im/a86Ambilley · 1 year ago0 0 Comment Clownfish Eggs Source (s):https://shrink.im/a9n H5moriah · 2 years ago0 0 Comment10 dayschris · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment2 weeks Ivan The Terrible · 1 decade ago0 0 Commentwell! it takes 8 to 10 days to hatch when darkness starts .akshay · 1 decade ago0 0 Comment Maybe you would like to learn more about one of these?

A number of descriptive common names are used for this dwarf angel, including Two-colored Angelfish, Black and Gold or Blue and Gold Angelfish, Pacific Rock Beauty Angelfish, and the Oriole Angelfish. Oriole comes from the medieval Latin word “oriolus” which basically means “golden\"\". Although the Bicolor Angelfish is a very popular fish it is not necessarily a good angelfish for a reef aquarium. Out of all the dwarf angelfish the Bicolor is the least reef friendly. Getting a juvenile is your best bet, as they are ready eaters and can be more easily trained to aquarium fare. Larger specimens may tend to only feed some on algae, often preferring corals, large polyped corals, tunicates, sponges, and worms, and may nip the mantles of clams. Yet this angel makes up for its lack of coral compatibility with its brilliant coloration."

Unfortunately many have had difficulty keeping the host anemones alive, or purchased an anemone their clownfish refused to accept as a host. Another problem encountered for reef aquarist is the anemone moving around the tank stinging corals. The purpose of this article is to remedy some of these problems for the aquarist and hopefully increase the survival rate in captivity of these magnificent animals. While there are 10 species of host anemones and 30 species of clownfish, I will stick to the six most common host anemones, and eleven clownfish species the hobbyist is likely to encounter in the trade. All of the host anemones cannot be grouped into the same general care requirements. Each species has its own requirements and these requirements need to be met in order to have a chance at keeping these animals happy and healthy. There are a few aquarium requirements that are important to all the host anemones, low nitrate, good lighting system, good water movement, and food. Nitrate (NO 3) must be monitored when keeping these host anemones. Probably the most common factor in the demise of host anemones in the aquarium is high nitrate level."

Characteristics Bright orange with three distinctive white bars, clown anemonefish are among the most recognizable of all reef-dwellers. They reach about 4.3 inches in length, and are named for the multicolored sea anemone in which they make their homes. Relationship with Anemones Clownfish perform an elaborate dance with an anemone before taking up residence, gently touching its tentacles with different parts of their bodies until they are acclimated to their host. A layer of mucus on the clownfish's skin makes it immune to the fish-eating anemone's lethal sting. In exchange for safety from predators and food scraps, the clownfish drives off intruders and preens its host, removing parasites. Population Range There are at least 30 known species of clownfish, most of which live in the shallow waters of the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the western Pacific."

"text": "Brief Summary Learn more about this article The genus Amphiprion includes about 29 species of marine clownfish, also called anemone fish. This genus, along with the maroon clownfish, ( Premnas biaculeatus, the only species in its genus), make up the clownfish subfamily Amphiprioninae within the damselfish family Pomacentridae. Found in shallow lagoons and reefs in the Indo-Pacific, all clownfish species form close mutualistic relationships with about 10 poison-producing anemone species, especially those in the anemone genera Heteractis and Stichodactyla, and species Entacmaea quadricolor. Anemonefish have a preferred anemone host species, but most will live with several different anemones. Living their whole lives within an anemone's tentacles, anemonefish provide protection from predators, possibly nutrients through their fecal matter, and help to remove parasites. Their bright coloration may also lure foodfish to the anemone, and their movements increase water circulation around the anemone. Anemonefish secrete protective mucus that allows them to survive anemone poisons, and gain the benefit of a safe home. Omnivores, anemonefish eat zooplankton and algae. Anemonefish live in hierarchical groups and are serial hermaphrodites: all start off life as males, then later reverse sex to become breeding females. As males, they protect the eggs and larvae, which are laid at the base of their host anemone."

All present-day salamander families are grouped together under the scientific name Urodela. Salamander diversity is most abundant in the Northern Hemisphere and most species are found in the Holarctic ecozone, with some species present in the Neotropical zone. Salamanders rarely have more than four toes on their front legs and five on their rear legs, but some species have fewer digits and others lack hind limbs. Their permeable skin usually makes them reliant on habitats in or near water or other cool, damp places. Some salamander species are fully aquatic throughout their lives, some take to the water intermittently, and others are entirely terrestrial as adults. They are capable of regenerating lost limbs, as well as other damaged parts of their bodies. Researchers hope to reverse engineer the remarkable regenerative processes for potential human medical applications, such as brain and spinal cord injury treatment or preventing harmful scarring during heart surgery recovery.

The family also contains fire salamanders, for example. You can see a list at: http://www.caudata.org/cc/species/species.shtml It's said that unlike many other kinds of salamanders, newts don't have costal grooves, those vertical groves on the sides of the body. I can't think of any exceptions. It's also said that newts have rougher skin than other salamanders, but some highly aquatic newts like Cynops wolterstorffi actually have smooth skin...

"text": "Exotic Pets You Say Fire-Bellied Newts Have Skin Toxins - How Toxic Are They? By Lianne Mc Leod, DVMUpdated 02/15/17Share Pin Email Paul Starosta/Corbis Documentary/Getty Images Fire-bellied newts are common pets, but they do possess skin toxins and care is required when handling them. But just how toxic are they? Please Note: this article is intended for informational purposes only. If you are concerned about exposure you have had to newt toxins, please contact your poison control center or doctor. In a nutshell, fire-bellied newts ( Cynops orientalis and Cynops pyrrhogaster) aren't nearly as toxic as some other newts (such as the rough skinned newt), but they do produce a toxin that is very irritating and can be toxic at sufficient levels. Many newt species have been found to produce this tetrodotoxin, at varying levels. Despite the presence of this skin toxin, however, fire-bellied newts are quite safe and unlikely to cause you problems as long as you take a few simple precautions. Newts Should Be Handled with Care The fire-bellied newt's skin toxin is extremely irritating and can cause an intense burning sensation or numbness. The toxin is not absorbed through your skin, but can be absorbed through open sores or cuts on the skin, the eyes, mucous membranes (lining of the nose, mouth, etc. ),"

"text": "Why It's Important1. How can the evolution of one species affect the evolution of another? No species exists in a vacuum; every form of life on Earth interacts over time with other organisms, as well as with its physical environment. For that reason, the evolution of one species influences the evolution of species with which it coexists by changing the natural selection pressures those species face. The classic examples of this sort of evolution, called coevolution, are predator-prey and host-parasite relationships. One such predator-prey relationship exists between garter snakes and a species of salamander-like amphibian called a rough-skinned newt. In parts of the midwestern United States, garter snakes prey on newts, and probably have for thousands of years. In that time, over countless generations, the newts have evolved a powerful defense: a toxic chemical that they secrete through their skin. Where garter snakes are concerned, however, this defense mechanism has only been marginally successful. Generation after generation, as the newts became more poisonous, the snakes also evolved, developing greater tolerance to the newt's toxin."

"text": "\"Pets Reptiles What kind of habitat do garden snakes live in?i have to get a lot of info for garden snakes Follow 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Garden snakes are also called garter snakes. A garter snake is any species of North American snake within the genus Thamnophis. Garter snakes are extremely common all across North America, Canada and to Central America. They are an everyday find in gardens. They are the single most widely distributed species of reptile in North America, and in fact, the common garter snake, T. sirtalis, is the only species of snake to be found in Alaska. It is also one of the northernmost species of snake in the world, possibly second only to the Crossed Viper, Vipera berus. The genus is so far ranging due to its unparticular diet and adaptability to different biomes and landforms, from marshes to hillsides to drainage ditches and even vacant lots, in both dry and wet regions, with varying proximity to water and rivers. However, in the western part of North America of the continent these snakes are more water-loving than on the eastern portion. Northern populations hibernate in larger groups than southern ones. Despite the decline in their population from collection as pets (especially in the more northerly regions in which large groups are collected at hibernation), pollution of aquatic areas, and introduction of bullfrogs and bass as predators, this is still a very commonly found snake."

Here, a common garter snake mugs for the camera. Credit: David Duneau Garter snakes are among the most common snakes in North America, with a range spanning from Canada to Florida. Often kept as pets, they are relatively harmless, although some species do possess a mild neurotoxic venom. However, it is not dangerous to humans. Where did the garter snake get its funny name? According to Doug Wechsler, a wildlife biologist at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University in Philadelphia and author of \"\" Garter Snakes \"\" (Powerkids, 2001), their stripes resemble garters men used to wear to hold up their socks. Another theory is that it is a corruption of the German word for “garden.” Garter snakes are sometimes erroneously called \"\"garden snakes. \"\" Physical characteristics Garter snakes come in a wide variety of colors depending on the species, but “most have three longitudinal stripes — one in the center of the back and one on each lower side of the body,\"\" according to herpetologist Jeff Beane, collections manager of amphibians and reptiles at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. \"\""

"text": "Home » Cat Conditions Excessive Production of Saliva in Cats Ptyalism in Cats 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. Ptyalism is a medical condition characterized by the excessive flow of saliva, also referred to as hypersalivation. The stimuli that lead to the over production of saliva 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, and 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. Ingestion of a toxin, caustic agent, or foreign body can also lead to ptyalism. 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. Pseudoptyalism (i.e., false ptyalism), on the other hand, is the release of excess saliva that has accumulated in the oral cavity. Young cats may be more likely to have a form of ptyalism caused by a congenital problem, such as portosystemic shunt."

Salamanders are common in many areas of the United States, with some species being poisonous. Marshes, ponds, lakes and streams are common areas where salamanders are found during breeding season. Other times they are seen in drier areas such as forests and fields. Salamanders are amphibians, which characteristically breathe through gills, have smooth skin, and produce jelly-coated eggs. Identification There are many species of salamanders but some of the most toxic are tiger salamanders, spotted salamanders, and the rough-skinned newt. Salamanders excrete milky toxins through their skin when touched or eaten. Symptoms Some species of salamanders may produce mild symptoms of toxicity, while others can cause difficulty breathing, seizures, and eventual death.

"text": "AUSTRALIA IS INFAMOUS FOR its dangerous animals. With more deadly snakes than any other country worldwide, it isn’t surprising. Though sharks, spiders, and snakes get the majority of bad press, it is actually an awesome array of predators and venomous critters that have earned Australia its fearsome reputation. Naturalist and TV presenter Steve Backshall has been filming in Australia for the BBC program, Deadly 60. After the crew’s extensive stay, Steve says he calls Australia the “home of deadly”. Australia's most dangerous animals Steve had a close encounter with one of our apex predators, the saltwater crocodile ( Crocodylus porosus ), while filming in the Northern Territory. He was measuring the bite of one crocodile - which has the most powerful bite of any species - when it bit the pole Steve was attached to,throwing him back and forth and making off with expensive equipment. Great white sharks ( Carcharodon carcharias ), however, have an undeserved reputation – they are responsible for an average of just one death per year, worldwide. “ You're more likely to be eaten by a domestic cat,” jokes Steve. Perhaps more threatening is the stinging stonefish ( Synanceia verrucosa ), found on Australia’s reefs."

This marine region stretches from the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, down to Guatemala as well as the Bay Islands of Honduras. This region stretches an outstanding distance of over 1000 km. There are four country coasts along which the reef system extends, namely – Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. Marine Life found in the Second Largest Coral Reef The Mesoamerican reef is embellished with stony coral, more than 65 species of them and 350 species of mollusks, which include squid, cuttlefish and octopus. Moreover, the reef also provides habitat to more than 500 species of fish. Some of the protected species you might found are the Green turtle, Leatherback turtle, Loggerhead Sea turtle, and the Hawksbill turtle, the West Indian Manatee,the Elkhorn and black coral. Other species aside from the ones mentioned earlier include: The Queen Conch This species is a large edible sea snail that is native to the area from Bermuda to Brazil. It reaches up to 35.2cm in shell length. This species is also a plant eater and lives in seagrass beds."

"text": "\"Photo credit: Longnose Hawkfish ( Oxycirrhites typus) by Roger Steene. CC BY-NC-SADefining Fishes How do we know a fish when we see one? Not as simple a question as you might think!Fishes are animals that live and swim in the water (although you might see a fish like a mudskipper or walking catfish crawling on land), are cold-blooded (except for tunas and marlins and mako sharks that are warmer than the water), breathe using gills (usually, but lungfish and some others have lungs), have backbones (but not always of bone, such as in sharks, which are cartilage), have a scaly skin (except for eels, which are scale-less), and have various fins instead of limbs (except for a few that do actually have limbs, like lungfish and coelacanth). So, we usually know a fish when we see one, but there are lots of exceptions to our fishy definitions. Most people will recognize a \"\"typical\"\" fish like a goldfish, bass, bluegill, snapper, or grouper because of experience with aquariums, going fishing, or enjoying fish for dinner. And most people know that lampreys, sharks, rays, eels, seahorses, and other strange-looking aquatic creatures are fishes, while shellfish, cuttlefish, starfish, crayfish, and jellyfish (despite their names) are not fishes. But some fish species are weird enough, and look enough like salamanders or other animals, that it is not always easy to be sure that one is looking at a fish. There are more than 32,000 described species of fishes, more than all the amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals combined. Fishes are an important food resource worldwide, and fishing pressure has caused many fish stocks to crash or be at risk. Both commercial fishermen and sport fishermen exploit coastal marine fish throughout the world, and fish farming is becoming more common, particularly for high-priced food fish such as salmon."

The puffer fish is most well known for it's unique and distinctive adaptations that the puffer fish has to defend itself. There are around 120 known species of puffer fish, the second most poisonous creature on the planet after the Golden Poison Frog. The puffer fish is found in tropical waters worldwide, but they rarely go into the cooler waters. The puffer fish has the remarkable ability to expand its body extremely quickly when faced with danger, unavailing it's long poisonous spikes that cover its body. If a fisherman catches a puffer fish, they will never touch the spikes as they are highly toxic to humans and animals. The puffer fish can grow to up to 60cm in length but the exact length of the puffer fish depends on the species of puffer fish. Puffer fish can be found in a variety of colours but can sometimes be hard to identify when they are not inflated. The puffer fish normally has the appearance of a large tadpole, with bulging eyes and an elongated snout. Puffer fish are omnivorous animals and eat a variety and plants and animals."

"text": "\"|October 2000On paper, it sounds like a terrible idea--sink a minor industrial plant in the middle of the ocean, then turn divers loose to swim amid the steel support structure. In reality ... well, just look at the pictures. All along the U. S. Gulf Coast, from Texas to Louisiana to Mississippi, oil and gas rigs are virtual garden spots of marine growth and fish life. Texas: Breadth and Depth Text by Jesse Cancelmo To get an idea of how much rig diving there is in Texas, consider this: There are 800 oil and gas platforms scattered along a 400-mile stretch from the Mexico border all the way to Sabine Pass near Louisiana. That's two rigs per mile. Rigs account for almost one-third of the hard-bottom area in the region because their steel support structures are awash in warm, nutrient-rich Gulf currents and eddies. It doesn't take long for an entire community of fish and invertebrates to take hold and develop virtual reefs within the framework of rigs. Rigs come in all sizes and configurations, but to Texas divers, they fall into just two categories: coastal and offshore. Spearfishermen favor the nearshore coastal rigs, arriving en masse each weekend locked and cocked in their quest for delectable red snapper, kingfish and amberjack. For these eager sportsmen, the murky water of nearshore rigs is no problem as long as there are plenty of moving targets."

The family includes many familiar species which are variously called pufferfish, puffers, balloonfish, blowfish, blowies, bubblefish, globefish, swellfish, toadfish, toadies, honey toads, sugar toads, and sea squab. [ 1] They are morphologically similar to the closely related porcupinefish, which have large external spines (unlike the thinner, hidden spines of the Tetraodontidae, which are only visible when the fish has puffed up). The scientific name refers to the four large teeth, fused into an upper and lower plate, which are used for crushing the shells of crustaceans and mollusks, their natural prey. The majority of pufferfish species are toxic and some are among the most poisonous vertebrates in the world. In certain species, the internal organs, such as liver, and sometimes their skin, contain tetrodotoxin and are highly toxic to most animals when eaten; nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan (as 河豚, pronounced as fugu ), Korea (as 복 bok or 복어 bogeo ), and China (as 河豚 hétún) when prepared by specially trained chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity."

Character Profiles > Nell Rebecchi Scarlett Anderson Nell [Jellyfish] Rebecchi 2013- Lives: 30 Ramsay Street Parents: Jarrod [Toadfish] and Sonya Rebecchi Siblings: Callum After months of trying for a baby, Toadie and Sonya Rebecchi were thrilled when they finally found out that they were expecting, and the baby, nicknamed Jellyfish in the grand Rebecchi family tradition of fishy nicknames, already had her own Twitter account before she was even born. After finding an old photograph of Nell Mangel, who had once lived on Ramsay Street, Sonya chose the name for her own child, and set about preparing for a home birth, despite Toadie's reservations. When Sonya finally went into labour, it was a traumatic few hours, as Toadie became concerned that something was wrong, as it was taking so long, and Sonya was determined to stay at home and remain in control of the situation, unlike when she had given birth to Callum. But when her waters broke, doula Alex realised that something was wrong and Sonya was rushed to hospital, where Nell was born and, after a little help from some antibiotics, was declared to be healthy. Unfortunately, soon after, Sonya had to be rushed into the operating theatre when she started haemorrhaging, but she also managed to pull through and, after a very stressful few days, the Rebecchi family was complete. Sadly, on the same day as Nell was born, Toadie and Sonya's friends Lucas and Vanessa had a child of their own, Patrick, who, only days after being born, was diagnosed with a rare heart condition. Patrick had to spend many weeks in hospital before an operation, and although they were happy to show off baby Nell around the neighbours, Toadie and Sonya felt that it was inappropriate to be celebrating Nell's naming day when Patrick was still so ill, and cancelled it to avoid upsetting their friends. When Vanessa found out, she insisted that it go ahead; everyone had a beautiful day , offering their wishes for Nell as she grew up, and she even got to meet her grandmother, Toadie's larger-than-life mum, Angie . There were plenty of changes in the Rebecchi household during Nell's first few years, as her big brother Callum moved to San Francisco, and the following year, lodgers Amy Williams and her son Jimmy came to stay."

In addition, the vestibular system provides us with our subjective sense of movement and orientation in space. The vestibular sensory organs are located in the petrous part of the temporal bone in close proximity to the cochlea, the auditory sensory organ. Although the vestibular system was recognized as a separate entity from the auditory portion of the inner ear only in the middle of the 19th century, it is phylogenetically the oldest part of the inner ear. The vestibular system is comprised of two types of sensors: the two otolith organs (the saccule and utricle), which sense linear acceleration (i.e., gravity and translational movements), and the three semicircular canals, which sense angular acceleration in three planes. The receptor cells of the otoliths and semicircular canals send signals through the vestibular nerve fibers to the neural structures that control eye movements, posture, and balance (Figure 1 ). In contrast to the senses of vision and audition which can easily be understood by simply shutting our eyes or plugging our ears, the significance of vestibular function in our daily lives is more difficult to appreciate. When the system is functioning normally, we are usually unaware of a distinct sensation arising from vestibular activity since it is integrated with visual, proprioceptive and other sensory information such that combined experience leads to a sense of motion. In addition, the important contributions that the vestibular system normally makes to gaze stabilization and postural control are difficult to fully comprehend. For this reason, clinical studies have provided many important insights into function of the vestibular system."

The series primarily centres on the residents of Ramsay Street, a short cul-de-sac in the equally fictitious suburb of Erinsborough. Neighbours began with three families: the Ramsays, the Robinsons and the Clarkes. [ 1] When storylines for certain characters become tired, the scriptwriters simply move one family out and replace it with a new one.

What is food poisoning? Food can make us sick if it contains either dangerous organisms or toxins. Often the toxic food looks, smells, and tastes okay. You might suspect food poisoning if several people who have eaten the same thing develop similar symptoms, or if a child gets sick without being exposed to anyone else who is sick. Common bacteria that cause food poisoning include Botulism, Campylobacter, Clostridium perfringens, E. coli, Salmonella, and Staph. Norwalk virus is the most common virus that causes food poisoning. Parasites in food can also cause infections, such as toxoplasmosis. People are more likely to get toxoplasmosis from contaminated food than from changing a litter box. Toxin-caused food poisonings may be from mushrooms, solanine poisoning, or fish or shellfish poisoning."

Types of bronchitis include chronic bronchitis and acute bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is a progressive, recurring inflammation of the lungs, most often due to the damage that long-term smoking causes to the lungs. Chronic bronchitis is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and is most common in long-term smokers. Acute bronchitis develops more suddenly and is most often caused by a viral infection or a bacterial infection that settles in the lungs acute bronchitis is a relatively short-term illness. Acute bronchitis is a common disease that can occur at any time of the year, but most cases happen in the winter months. It is most common in infants and young children and the elderly."

The business owner may be the hardest working person at the firm, but that doesn't make her an employee. When it comes to tax time, the Internal Revenue Service makes definite distinctions between employees and business owners. Important tax implications accompany these distinctions and can affect the bottom line of your company. Receiving a Salary Many business owners assume that because they receive a salary, they should pay income tax on that salary as if they were an employee. The IRS does not agree. The owner in such a case is not an employee, and must therefore pay self-employment tax. This means paying additional Social Security and Medicare payments, in the amount of 10.4 percent of your salary for Social Security and 2.9 percent of your salary for Medicare. For employees, the rates are 4.2 percent for Social Security and 1.45 percent for Medicare (all figures as of August 17, 2011).

"text": "\"United States: Basics Of Forming The Closely Held Corporation Last Updated: June 1 2001 Article by Peter R Porcino Cowan Liebowitz & Latman PCYou and your partner have decided to set up a business together. You've wisely decided to incorporate, knowing that in this uncertain and litigious society conducting business as a corporation will potentially limit your liability to outsiders. We offer a preliminary guide to the issues you should consider when forming a closely-held corporation. We caution that this is a general discussion and the owners must tailor the corporation, and the governing documents, to their own needs and circumstances. A closely-held corporation can be any corporation that is not publicly owned, but the term is generally used to apply to corporations with a limited number of shareholders, none of whom are institutions. Many states have specific statutes that apply only to closely-held corporations. This article is limited in scope, and is not intended to be all-inclusive. We do not address tax issues nor do we address whether the corporation is the most suitable vehicle to conduct business in the circumstances in which the business owners may find themselves. THE PRIMARY REASON FOR INCORPORATING IS TO LIMIT THE LIABILITY OF THE BUSINESS OWNERS. You can now achieve this result with other forms of entities, particularly limited liability companies."

In this case, although the taxpayer was unsuccessful in its appeal to both the Tax Court of Canada (TCC) and Federal Court of Appeal (FCA), the FCA decision in particular addressed some important issues: First, it is possible, though unusual, for an owner-manager to be simultaneously an independent contractor and an employee of the company he owns. If that’s the case, it’s necessary to apportion the amounts paid between the services performed in each capacity. Second, in applying the “control” test, it is not appropriate to “pierce the corporate veil.” The question to be considered is whether the company has the legal power to control the worker, not whether the worker feels subject to that control.

Compare Business Types Filing a DBAA DBA filing (doing business as, also called an assumed or fictitious business name) allows a company to transact business using a different name. It generally takes place at the county level, but some states have state-level DBA filings. For sole proprietorships and general partnerships, unless a DBA is filed, the company name is the same as the owner’s or owners’ name (s). For example, John Smith is operating a landscaping business as a sole proprietorship. In order to transact business as Smith’s Landscaping, he must file a DBA for that name. Otherwise, he must transact business as John Smith. A corporation or LLC can also file a DBA to transact business under a name different from the one registered with the state (when the business was incorporated)."

"text": "\"Related Terms: Employee Benefits; Employee Compensation; Employee Manual Human Resource Management (HRM) is the term used to describe formal systems devised for the management of people within an organization. The responsibilities of a human resource manager fall into three major areas: staffing, employee compensation and benefits, and defining/designing work. Essentially, the purpose of HRM is to maximize the productivity of an organization by optimizing the effectiveness of its employees. This mandate is unlikely to change in any fundamental way, despite the ever-increasing pace of change in the business world. As Edward L. Gubman observed in the Journal of Business Strategy, \"\"the basic mission of human resources will always be to acquire, develop, and retain talent; align the workforce with the business; and be an excellent contributor to the business. Those three challenges will never change. \"\" Until fairly recently, an organization's human resources department was often consigned to lower rungs of the corporate hierarchy, despite the fact that its mandate is to replenish and nourish what is often cited-;legitimately-;as an organization's greatest resource, it's work force. But in recent years recognition of the importance of human resources management to a company's overall health has grown dramatically. This recognition of the importance of HRM extends to small businesses, for while they do not generally have the same volume of human resources requirements as do larger organizations, they too face personnel management issues that can have a decisive impact on business health. As Irving Burstiner commented in The Small Business Handbook, \"\"Hiring the right people-;and training them well-;can often mean the difference between scratching out the barest of livelihoods and steady business growth'¦."

"text": "10 Advantages and Disadvantages of Sole Proprietorship Pros and Cons Jul 8, 2016Among the different business structures, sole proprietorship is considered and most basic and simplest form. Apart from being a common preference by business owners, it is also owned solely by an individual. Nevertheless, this type of business structure has advantages and disadvantages attributed to it. Here are some of the benefits and drawbacks of a sole proprietorship business type. List of Advantages of Sole Proprietorship1. No Boss One of the reasons entrepreneurs prefer sole proprietorship over other business structures is not having to be accountable to any boss or supervisor since he or she is the owner of the company. This means that the entrepreneur himself is the one at the helm of the business and decisions are made solely by him. There is no need to wait for a go-signal from other people to implement new rules and regulations. This privilege can prove to be useful during emergencies and decisions are needed right away.2. Low Start-up Costs Sole proprietorship ranges from having no employees and up to a number of employees which is easier to deal with in terms of expenses, taxes and compensation."

Company officers have more authority than engineers and secretaries, but they still work for the corporate board. Some officers don't qualify as employees, but they're the exception. Getting the difference wrong can land a company in legal or tax trouble. Who Officers Are Officers typically include high-level management such as the CEO, treasurer and chief financial officer. Despite their high statuses, they typically serve at the will of the corporate directors, who can fire or replace them. The corporation may appoint other officers, which complicates the employee/officer distinction. Someone with the title \"\"vice president\"\" may be an officer or merely an ordinary employee with a title Officers and Taxes The IRS view is that if an officer works for the company, he's an employee.

"text": "Accounting Accounting Strategies Bookkeeper, Controller or CFO - Whom Do You Need? Share Flip Pin Email By Dennis Najjar Updated February 14, 2017Business owners often handle their own bookkeeping for many reasons that include fear of delegating sensitive financial information, wanting complete control and keeping staff costs lean. Those reasons, while certainly valid for startups and smaller operations, grow increasingly impractical as your business grows. Some owners delegate accounting duties to trusted family members or staff, but the most successful and savvy entrepreneurs learn quickly that accounting and finances are the lifeblood of business and deserve professional management from skilled financial specialists. The three primary financial manager positions in most businesses are bookkeeper or accountant, controller and Chief Financial Officer or CFO. As a business owner, you might handle the duties of these positions yourself or delegate them to a staff member or trusted associate, but as the business matures, most owners discover that hiring professionals generates solid cost-value benefits while freeing owners to concentrate on core business issues. The results of hiring accounting professionals include -- but aren't limited to -- the following business advantages: Finding cost savings in manufacturing process, vendor relationships, office operations and employee management Saving money on taxes Managing an ever-expanding volume of internal paperwork and external reports Designing a financial safety net by mitigating risks with insurance coverage, inventory management, diversification and fiscal threat assessments Planning expansions Handling payroll Streamlining operations and maximizing profits Avoiding fines, penalties, lower credit ratings and interest charges that result from missing deadlines, calculating payroll inaccurately, forgetting to pay bills and missing time-sensitive business opportunities In fact, most businesses save money by hiring professional financial staff to manage their daily business operations. However, depending on the size of your business, your industry and other factors, you might just need a part-time bookkeeper or require a full financial staff that includes a controller and CFO. Deciding what financial staff your business really needs is a complex decision that depends on many factors. Your needs will almost certainly change over time, and if your business grows successfully, you might cycle through all these positions."

To protect against losses that may occur to your business, insurance policies are available that cover equipment, real property and buildings, inventories, and other business assets. If you run your business out of your home, don't assume that your homeowner's policy covers your business property or any liabilities you incur in the course of running your business. Securing the right types of insurance as well as the right amounts can make the difference between a successful business and one that is crippled due to non-insured or under-insured losses. That being said, insurance can be quite costly so to avoid spending money on coverage you don't need, consider carefully the various types of insurance customarily available to small businesses, before you talk to your insurance agent:business owner's insurancehomeowner's insuranceauto insuranceprofessional malpractice insuranceother insurance Business Owner's Insurance A comprehensive business owner's policy protects against economic losses caused by damage to the owner's property and by legal liability to others for bodily injury and property damage involving the business.

In fact, most homeowner's policies contain a business use exclusion that denies coverage to business equipment, supplies, and inventories.

Small businesses use an array of tech -- everything from servers to mobile devices -- to develop competitive advantages in the economic marketplace. Small business owners should consider implementing technology in their planning process for streamlined integration and to make room for future expansion. This allows owners to create operations using the most effective technology available. Impact on Operating Costs Small business owners can use technology to reduce business costs. Basic enterprise software enables a firm to automate back office functions, such as record keeping, accounting and payroll. Mobile tech allows home offices and field reps to interact in real time. For example, field reps can use mobile apps to record their daily expenses as they incur them and have them sync automatically with accounting software back at the office.

"text": "\"C Corporation When a small business incorporates, it is automatically a C corporation, also called a regular corporation. The most basic characteristic of the corporation is that it is legally viewed as an individual entity, separate from its owners, who are now shareholders. This means that when the corporation is sued, shareholders are only liable to the extent of their investments in the corporation. Their personal assets are not on the line, as they would be if the business was a partnership or sole proprietorship. Any debts that the corporation may acquire are also viewed as the corporation's responsibility. In other words, once the business is incorporated, shareholders are protected by the corporate veil, or limited liability. Because the corporation is a separate entity, it is viewed as an individual taxpayer by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As a result, corporations are subject to double taxation, which means that the profits are taxed once on the corporate level and a second time when they are distributed as dividends to the shareholders. If a business is eligible, it may elect S corporation status upon incorporating to avoid this negative characteristic of C corporations. ADVANTAGESLimited Liability Most small businesses that consider incorporating do so for the limited liability that corporate status affords."

"text": "\"Absenteeism Absenteeism is the term generally used to refer to unscheduled employee absences from the workplace. Many causes of absenteeism are legitimate—personal illness or family issues, for example—but absenteeism can also be traced to factors such as a poor work environment or workers who lack commitment to their jobs. If such absences become excessive, they can adversely impact the operations and, ultimately, the profitability of a business. COSTS OF ABSENTEEISMUnscheduled absences are costly to business. According to the U. S. Department of Labor, companies lose approximately 2.8 million workdays a year because of employee injuries and illnesses. The inability to plan for these unexpected absences means that companies hire last minute temporary workers, or pay overtime to their regular workers, to cover labor shortfalls; they may also maintain a higher staffing level regularly in anticipation of absences. According to Matt Lewis, in an article entitled \"\"Sickened by the Cost of Absenteeism,\"\" which appeared in Workforce in the fall of 2003, \"\"Three to 6 percent of any given workforce is absent every day due to unscheduled issues or disability claims … To compensate, most companies continually overstaff by 10 to 20 percent to mask lost productivity. That's a colossal cost. \"\" Small businesses are, of course, not immune to such \"\"expenses.\"\" There are obvious costs associated with an absent employee, including consequences difficult to measure."

"text": "Fraud and Embezzlement in the Small Business Environment By: Glenn Carniello, CPAWe have all heard much about fraud in recent years as it relates to business. In the early 2000s, the news was filled with scandals involving fraud of various types. The mere mention of Enron and Worldcom, for example, is now virtually synonymous with the word fraud. Although these scandals involved very large, publicly traded companies, the fact remains that fraud occurs most often in smaller businesses. Further, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, the losses incurred due to fraud in the smallest businesses are 100 times greater than those incurred by the largest companies. According to the 2006 Report to the Nation on Occupational Fraud and Abuse by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, “The median [fraud] loss suffered by organizations with fewer than 100 employees was $190,000 per scheme…higher than the median loss in even the largest organizations. Small businesses continue to suffer disproportionate fraud losses. ”In my almost twenty years in business, I have never seen the frequency of detected fraud and embezzlement as great as it is at this time in our business community. It’s tough to know exactly why the frequency with which fraud is committed has increased. It may be due to tougher economic times or specific personal circumstances causing more people to steal."

S. Department of Labor to support workplace safety and worker health by creating and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education and assistance. About half the states in the U. S. have their own OSHA-approved programs that may impose tighter regulations than OSHA does, so business owners are advised to familiarize themselves with their local standards. OSHA supports compliance with federal standards by offering free consultations and other programs that may be especially useful to small businesses, which it defines as having 10 or fewer employees. Small businesses have different reporting requirements than larger companies. Rules also vary by industry. Importance of a Safety Plan OSHA stresses that prevention is the only way to reduce the risk of worker injuries and death. According to OSHA, a plan serves as a safety management system because dangers can exist as a matter of routine rather than by accident, such as may be the case in a workplace where employees are exposed to toxic chemicals. Elements of a Good Safety Plan The agency recommends a four-prong approach that incorporates management commitment and worker involvement, workplace analysis, company-wide training and hazard prevention and control. These guidelines apply to companies of all sizes, including smaller companies exempt from federal reporting and documentation requirements. However, they can help companies that are not exempt achieve and exceed compliance standards."

"text": "\"EMPLOYEE REFERENCESFollow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Photo by: John Takai Employee references are the positive or negative comments about an employee's job performance provided to a prospective employer. In most cases, a prospective employer will contact a person's current or former employer to seek references as part of the process of considering that person for a new position. Prospective employers check references during the interview process in order to ensure that a candidate's assertions about his or her job skills and work experience are accurate. In fact, obtaining references is one of the most important parts of the hiring process because it can provide valuable information that sets one candidate apart from others and facilitates a sound hiring decision. Although seeking references has a number of benefits for the prospective employer, providing references can be a complicated issue for the current or former employer. As Olga Aikin pointed out in People Management, companies that provide references have a duty both to the employee who is the subject of the reference and to the prospective employer who is the recipient of the reference. Giving a negative reference may expose the company to legal liability if the former employee does not get a desired job and decides to sue for defamation or slander. But providing a falsely positive reference or failing to disclose potentially damaging information can leave the company open to legal liability as well. If a candidate is selected for a position on the basis of a reference and then commits a crime or causes harm to another person while on the job, the new employer might sue the provider of the reference. Several court decisions have held a former employer liable for crimes committed by a former employee in a new job because that employer had provided a positive reference and failed to notify the prospective employer about one or more negative aspects of the former employee's performance."

Carbohydrates are a necessary part of a healthy diet, offering your body nutrients it can convert to glucose to power muscles. Carbohydrates come in three varieties: simple carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. All are composed of units of sugar. What makes one carbohydrate different from another is the number of sugar units it contains and how the units are linked together. Simple carbohydrates: These carbohydrates have only one or two units of sugar. A carbohydrate with one unit of sugar is called a simple sugar or a monosaccharide (mono = one; saccharide = sugar). Fructose (fruit sugar) is a monosaccharide, and so are glucose (blood sugar), the sugar produced when you digest carbohydrates, and galactose, the sugar derived from digesting lactose (milk sugar). A carbohydrate with two units of sugar is called a double sugar or a disaccharide (di = two)."

Carbohydrates often receive negative attention as the dieter's enemy. Yet the American Dietetic Association argues that they should be your main source of energy, accounting for 45 to 65 percent of your total daily calories. That's because carbs are your body's quickest fuel source, ultimately yielding the simple sugar glucose. Glucose fuels metabolic reactions throughout your body and is the only form of energy that your brain can use. Carbohydrate Definition The name \"\"carbohydrate\"\" reveals the chemical make up of this nutrient class. Indeed, \"\"carbo\"\" means carbon, while \"\"hydrate\"\" means water, a combination of hydrogen and oxygen molecules. All carbohydrates, including sugar, therefore contain the same three elements: carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Your body doesn't just need energy, it is also constantly using, recycling, and rebuilding hormones and cells, so it needs the correct building materials to do so. To oversimplify: when you eat and digest your food, your body absorbs as many nutrients into your bloodstream as it can or needs. Some of it is converted to glucose (sugar) and used for energy, while the other digested nutrients are sent through your bloodstream to various parts of your body where they are needed and used. Insulin is one of the hormones that regulates the glucose in your blood. Constantly overwhelming your system with glucose alters this regulation system, eventually leading to diabetes in some. Excess calories in your bloodstream that can't be used or excreted are converted to fat and stored in fat cells. Everything else that is not absorbed into your bloodstream is excreted."

All types of carbs, except for fiber, eventually deconstruct into simpler forms and absorb as glucose, the primary energy source for all cells throughout your body. Simple carbohydrates, including fruit sugar, or fructose, milk sugar, or lactose, and table sugar, or sucrose, have a straight structure that metabolizes quickly in one simple step in your small intestine. Complex carbohydrates, such as starch, have a complicated branched structure that undergoes two distinct steps before absorption as glucose. First, saliva breaks the complex molecule into a smaller form called maltose. Next, enzymes in your small intestine further break down maltose into simpler molecules so it can absorb as glucose. Fiber is a unique type of complex carbohydrate since it is not broken down into glucose."

Photo: www.shutterstock.com When eaten in moderation and in the right situation, sugar isn’t as bad for you as you think. Sugars such as sucrose and fructose are the main ingredients in most sports drinks. Despite the commonness of the use of sugar in sports drinks, there is a great deal of confusion among athletes regarding the effects of these ingredients, the optimal types and sugars in sports drinks and so forth. Here’s the straight dope on sugar in sports drinks. First of all, sugar has a reputation as an unhealthy nutrient; consequently, there are those who believe that the use of sugar in sports drinks is bad. But sports drinks are formulated for a narrow use and to serve a specific function: to enhance exercise performance. Therefore, consuming the sugars in sports drinks could only be bad if the sugars did not serve this function better than alternative ingredients, or if using sports drinks for their intended purpose caused major negative health problems that outweighed their performance benefits. But research has clearly demonstrated that the sugars in sports drinks enhance exercise performance significantly, and there is no evidence that consuming sports drinks exclusively within the exercise context causes weight gain and metabolic disorders, as general overconsumption of sugar is known to do. ‘Lasting Energy’ = Slow Energy Most endurance athletes understand that the sugars in sports drinks are beneficial, yet they are still affected by sugar’s negative reputation."

And some people never seem to adjust. Here’s why— and here are some ideas that might help you if you’re having trouble adjusting!Note that low-carb isn’t an objective of a paleo diet: it’s just the usual consequence of eliminating grains and sugars. It’s certainly possible to eat a higher-carb paleo diet—and it’s a good idea if you’re doing frequent, intense workouts like HIIT, Crossfit, or team sports after school—but you’d have to eat a lot of potatoes and bananas to get anywhere near the same amount of carbohydrate you used to get from bread, pasta, cereal, and soda.

Do dogs need them? How much is too much? By Lisa Rodier [Updated January 24, 2018]Grain-free dry dog food has become wildly popular in the past few years. More and more companies are rolling out a grain-free kibble, as demand for this type of food keeps growing. Why are they so popular? Carbohydrates can play a valuable role in a weight loss program. Grains, for example, have a lower fat content than many meats and can be used judiciously to help a dog feel “full.” Note, however, that some commercial weight-loss diets take this approach to an extreme, overloading the food with low-quality carbs."

"text": "\"Health Diseases & Conditions Diabetes Where is glucose manufactured in human body? Follow Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Glucose isn't manufactured in the human body. The only living organisms that actually manufacture or produce glucose are plants as a byproduct of photosynthesis. Sunlight, water and Carbon Dioxide go in and Oxygen and Glucose come out. The glucose is also stored in plants as starch. We get our energy from the food we eat which is where sugar and carbs is derived from. The body breaks down starches and carbs into simple sugars and it is distributed to our organs as fuel to perform daily functions. The body does stock pile a reserve of glucose in the liver in the form of glycogen which it releases when it needs it. Glucose is also stored in the muscle. So as far as where it comes from within the human body, its the storages in the liver and muscle but those storages are built up from the food we eat."

Madlen Beckmann / Eye Em / Getty Images Thinking about carbs probably conjures up images of anything and everything you've been programmed to avoid: pasta, cookies, cake, bread. These foods get a bad rap, so it's no wonder that so many of us get the impression that carbs are bad for you. Nutritional advice in the past has trained us to almost fear them—and feel guilty for breaking down and indulging in their dense, bready goodness. But what if we told you you're thinking about this all wrong? ( And not just because food guilt is a waste of time, as well as a harmful way to think about eating.) Yes, some types of carbohydrates don't have much in the way of nutritional benefits: We're looking at you, sugar. Sugar is a basic, broken-down carbohydrate, devoid of any nutrients. And as you've undoubtedly heard, eating too much added sugar is associated with a host of health problems."

The Pants are made for men just like the panties are for women. But the pants are neither that tight nor that short as compared to the panties. The pants don’t have the feature of covering the most of the area of the man’s body starting from the hips and down to the legs. Quite the opposite, the Trousers will come in front of you in the shape of long piece of clothing that will be relaxed in nature. It is the function of the trousers to cover a greater portion of men’s body down from hip to just on top of the feet of the men. This kind of apparel is termed as trouser pants by the Americans. Pants When you check the Victorian England style, you will come to know that the pants referred to a piece of clothing meant to cover the hip area down from the waist. Most of the time, the major function of the pants is to cover the groin area as well. Usually, Pants are designed for wearing in private only and for the sake of going outside, the men utilized the services of another piece of clothe known as trousers to cover the pants."

We can help, read on!A little anatomy lesson First, you need to understand the anatomy of what you are working with. The testicles are pretty much free inside the scrotal sac, but they aren't held up by the scrotum. They are supported by what I'll call \"\"suspenders\"\" from the inner side of the pubic bone. This is a unique tissue that acts a little like a ligament- but it's more flexible and extends or contracts in reaction to temperature. The scrotal sac itself also reacts to temperature. There's also the plumbing; blood vessels and the passages that carry sperm to the seminal vesicle, located by the prostrate. It is the seminal vesicle that produces semen, the fluid part of the ejaculate, while the testicles produce sperm, or the \"\"active ingredient\"\". It is the seminal vesicle that spasms and ejaculates; not the testicles. To build low hangers, you have to stretch the scrotum to make room for them, and you need to stretch the plumbing as well- but the most difficult part is to stretch those \"\"suspenders\"\", the strong tissues that adjust the travel range of the testicles."

There isn’t one style that works best for the tummy, but rather a number of styles that will work great depending on how you are going to be wearing it. Before you Shop Before you start shopping there are a couple of things to consider: How Often Will the Shapewear be Worn – Different levels of control are offered for each type of body shaping garment. If tummy support is desired for a special occasion under a slinky dress, a woman may be able to tolerate a much higher level of support for a few hours than if she were looking for an everyday, all-day shaper.

Yes, they are similar in that both are worn below waist to cover the lower part of the body, but this is where the similarity between pants and trousers ends.

They come in absolute opaque, opaque, sheer and fishnet styles or a combination of them, such as the original concept of the American term pantyhose with sheer legs and opaque panty. [ 1] Wearing of tights has a history going back several centuries, when they were worn by men. Today, they are worn primarily by women and girls. In recent years, they have been sometimes offered as men's fashion. Athletic tights are already considered unisex. Originally, leggings covered only the legs, not the lower torso; were two separate pieces; and did not contain elastic fibres, so were cut close fitting (to use less fabric) and were loose, not tight. When made of fine silk this hosery was considered to be a stocking. When nylon fibres were developed and introduced in the 1940s, these stockings were referred to as nylons. When the separate legs were woven together with a panty that covered the lower torso up to the waist in a single, integrated format, the term pantyhose was coined, since it was a one piece cinstruction of a panty with a pair of separate hose, one for each leg."

Generally they are available as either undergarments, or as outdoor wear for athletic performance. The main benefit of wearing this type of shorts are the improvements to muscle recovery following physical activity.

Yes, in that there are compression garments that are solely underwear and should be worn under another piece of clothing. They might also be called a base layer, which can be confusing since technically all compression shorts are base layers or skin-fitting clothing. Compression underwear will provide a tight and firm fit compared to regular athletic underwear and shorts. Compression undergarments may be made of a lighter material compared to outerwear shorts with compression fitting, but will not create as much compressive force or muscular support.

Muscle strain Muscle strain occurs when muscles are stressed, overworked, or injured due to physical activity or labor. Kidney infection (pyelonephritis)Kidney infection, caused by bacteria, is marked by sudden chills and fever, pain, nausea and urinary issues. Gas pains Belching or passing gas clears gas from the digestive tract, but when gas is stuck it causes abdominal pain."

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. ( December 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Boardshorts have evolved over the last fifty years and separated themselves from the simpler swim trunks category from which they originated. In the beginning of their history, change happened organically – individual solutions were born out of the need to address environmental requirements and inadequacies in a garment that was increasingly used specifically for surfing. Although they are now considered a popular form of general beachwear, much of today's mass consumer acceptance is based on competing brands marketing themselves as being authentic due to their historical roots within the surfing lifestyle and their product's technical authority. [ 1] Originally known as surf trunks, later as Jams, and occasionally in British English as swim shorts, boardshorts are a style of men's [2] and, more recently, women's [3] summerwear. The name \"\"boardshorts\"\" is based on their use in aquatic sports that use a board, such as surfing. They are also sometimes called \"\"boardies\"\" in slang, especially in Australia, and \"\"baggies\"\" in South Africa. Boardshorts are especially popular in North America and spread beyond surfing especially as the skater punk fashion trend got underway."

"text": "CAS #: 7782-50-5RTECS #: FO2100000UN #: 1017 (Guide 124)Common Names: Molecular chlorine Agent Characteristics APPEARANCE: Greenish-yellow gas at room temperature; clear, amber-colored liquid under increased pressure or at temperatures below -30°F (-34°C). DESCRIPTION: Chlorine is a toxic gas with corrosive properties. It is widely used as bleach in the manufacture of paper and cloth and in manufacturing solvents, pesticides, synthetic rubber, and refrigerants. Chlorine has also been used as a chemical warfare choking agent. The lowest level at which humans can smell chlorine and notice its irritant properties generally provides sufficient warning of exposure; however, chronic exposure to chlorine causes adaptation of the sense of smell (olfactory fatigue) and tolerance to its irritant effects. Because of this, persons with a history of prolonged exposure lose the ability to identify when they are being exposed to chlorine. Chlorine is usually shipped in steel cylinders as a compressed liquefied gas. METHODS OF DISSEMINATION : Indoor Air: Chlorine can be released into indoor air as a gas. Water: Chlorine can be used to contaminate water. Food: Food is an unlikely route of dissemination."

"text": "Scarlett O'Hara (Vivien Leigh) being laced into her corset by her Mammy (Hattie Mc Daniel)This image from the film 'Gone with the Wind` sums up many people's view of Victorian women -clutching to bedposts while their maid pulls and pulls at the corset strings to achieve the desirable and highly restrictive tiny waist. The woman battles against the restriction of her undergarments but to no avail. She is doomed to her position in society: a slave to fashion, cosseted and striving to be pleasing to men, whatever the cost. Of course there is not fiction without fact. Women clearly did suffer for the sake of fashion, just as many do today with high heels and plastic surgery. Ridiculously large crinolines, protruding bustles and heavily boned corsets often did restrict movement and the range of activities women could engage in. But this is only one side of the story. Technological change in the late 19th and early 20th century led to new designs in underwear which often made life easier for women - as well as more complicated. At the same time new attitudes towards health and comfort and participation in sporting activities meant that women were actually becoming much more aware of their bodies and the harm that could be done by restrictive underwear. Fashion plate, from the Petit Courier des Dames, February 1845This article will trace the changes in body shape throughout the Victorian period which was facilitated by new attitudes and technology."

Lens designs for computer eyewear Special lens coatings and tints Where to buy computer glasses When you work at a computer for any length of time, it's common to experience eye strain, blurred vision, red eyes and other symptoms of computer vision syndrome (CVS). This is because the visual demands of computer work are unlike those associated with most other activities. If you're under age 40, eye strain or blurred vision during computer work may be due to an inability of your eyes to remain accurately focused on your screen or because your eyes have trouble changing focus from your keyboard to your screen and back again for prolonged periods. These focusing ( accommodation) problems often are associated with CVS. If you're over age 40, the problem may be due to the onset of presbyopia — the normal age-related loss of near focusing ability. This, too, can cause CVS symptoms. What can you do? For starters, have a comprehensive eye exam to rule out vision problems and update your eyeglasses prescription."

How to Read Eyeglasses Prescriptions When you look at a standard prescription, the first word you'll see is \"\"Distance.\"\" This term refers to what power of lens you will need to see distant objects clearly. Your ophthalmologist or optometrist determines this power by trying different lenses while you read an eye chart in the exam. The strength of lens correction you need may be different for each eye. Moving from left to right on the prescription pad, after \"\"Distance\"\" you see the letters OD and OS."

These vision problems are caused by presbyopia, which affects all of us beginning in middle age and reduces our ability to see at all distances. Many vision correction options are available, such as presbyopia surgery and multifocal contact lenses or eyeglasses. If you need cataract surgery, you also have the option of choosing multifocal intraocular lenses to restore your ability to see at all distances. In some cases, however, you may need to consider a combination of options to fully address problems caused by presbyopia. Removing Your Eyeglasses To Read If you are nearsighted, you have an advantage when you reach your 40s. Once presbyopia occurs, nearsighted eyes still see well up-close — if you remove your eyeglasses. Of course, with your glasses removed, distance vision is blurred. So you will need to put your glasses back on to see clearly across the room."

It specifies the parameters to which the eyeglasses are to be made in order to correct blurred vision due to refractive errors, including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Eyeglass prescriptions are written on paper pads that frequently contain a number of different abbreviations and terms: D. V. is an abbreviation for \"\"distance vision\"\". This specifies the part of the prescription designed primarily to improve far vision. In a bifocal lens, this generally indicates what is to be placed in the top segment. N. V. is an abbreviation for \"\"near vision\"\". This may represent a single-vision lens prescription to improve near work, or the reading portion of a bifocal lens. O. D. is an abbreviation for oculus dexter, Latin for \"\"right eye O. S. is an abbreviation for oculus sinister, Latin for \"\"left eye\"\". SPH = SPHERE - The amount of long or short sightedness.

The only thing to avoid is the narrow frame because is impossible to mount the lens properly in it for a good vision on all the tree parts of the lenses. A frame with the height less than 30 mm is not recommended for normal progressive lenses. If you still want a narrow frame, there are currently on the market progressive lenses for such frames, where each side of view is smaller, but that also means narrower field of view for each distance, so you get used with them more difficult. You can use any kind of frames: frameless, traditional frame, anything you like. You want them to be comfortable because you will wear them all the time. Be careful when driving cars First, do not drive with progressive eyeglasses until you get used totally with them. It is best to avoid situations like: Looking in the mirrors, and you can't correctly appreciate the distance to external objects You don't know yet in which part of the lenses to look to see the dashboard, the wheel or the road clearly These are serious problems that you don't want to have when you are speeding on the road."

His favorite glasses had broken and no other frame would do. Sensitive to many types of metal and plastic, Nguyen could wear only titanium frames comfortably for any period of time. The local jewelers were unfamiliar with titanium repairs, and none of the local eyeglass shops offered options. All offered to sell him replacements. Titanium frames are durable and very flexible, but when they break, there is not much you can do. Titanium can be spot-welded easily, and no argon cover is needed to protect the weld. When they weld the nosepiece brackets to the frames that hold the lenses, many manufacturers use spot welding as a quick and reliable method."

D. represents your right eye and O. S. represents your left eye. Some prescriptions will just refer to your eyes as “right” and “left”. SPH This tells you whether you are nearsighted or farsighted and how much correction your eyes need. If the numbers are negative, you are nearsighted. A plus sign means you are farsighted and could be in need of reading glasses. Usually, the worse your eyesight is, the further from zero the number will be.

The idea is not to add magnification (although a slightly enlarged image is presented) but to move your eye’s focal point closer without using your eye muscles for accommodation. The anti-reflective coatings on these lenses is similar to what you see on the front of good quality binoculars. A greenish or purple reflection can be seen if you look at the computer glasses from the front. When worn you have a very, very light green tint that helps increase contrast on the monitor screen. Computer Eyeglasses with +.25D to +0.75D Lenses Even if your normal vision does not require correction for everyday tasks you may find that long hours spent viewing a computer screen causes considerable eye fatigue. Aside from poor lighting, dry air, dust and other environmental effects the fact that your eyes just do not like focusing at the distance where the computer monitor is normally located. I must point out that the use of eye drops to lubricate the eye AND taking frequent breaks (every 15 minutes) to look out at a distance and blink your eyes more frequently is probably going to give you as much relief as wearing computer reading glasses.

Multifocal lenses cannot be made without the add power value. Anti-reflective coating Anti-reflective coating goes on both sides of an eyeglass lens, and on the backside of a sunglass lens, and it allows light to pass more freely through the lens. AR lenses help to reduce eye fatigue in many situations, particularly while viewing computer screens and driving at night. Normally, approximately 8% to 10% of light is reflected away from the lens, \"\"robbing\"\" you of valuable detail for the eye. Also, as this light is reflected off the lens surface, it creates more glare that further impairs your vision. Anti-reflective coating allows approximately 99% of available light to pass through the lens without interruption, thereby reducing glare considerably. Actors and newscasters like AR coating because it greatly reduces the glare reflected from camera lighting and flashes. AR coating makes it easier for other people to see the wearer’s eyes, and it makes it easier for the wearer to see through the lens. However, AR coating is more difficult to clean, and more difficult to keep clean."

Typical costs: For patients with health insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically consist of doctor visit copays and coinsurance for the glasses of 10%-50%. Prescription reading glasses typically are covered by vision insurance. For patients without health insurance, reading glasses typically cost $10-$50 for a basic pair of pre-made reading glasses from a drugstore or other retailer. Cost can reach $200 or more for off-the-shelf reading glasses with designer frames. Prescription glasses from an eye doctor typically cost about $200-$1,000. For example,reading glasses cost $10-$30 at Walgreens. At Reading Glasses Shopper.com, all reading glasses [ 1] cost less than $20, including bifocal readers, flexible readers and folding readers. At Reading Glasses.com, reading glasses with designer frames typically cost about $20-$200 or more, depending on the frame and type of lens."

"text": "\"How to Measure the Inches on a Computer Monitorby Dan Stone; Updated August 23, 2017Computer monitors are measured in the same way that television screens, smartphone screens and tablet screens are: diagonally. However, the diagonal measurement doesn't necessarily mean that one monitor is larger than another because the screen size measurement doesn't take into account the aspect ratio, which alters the total screen size. Monitors are commonly measured in inches using a tape measure or a yard stick. Diagonal Screen Measurement You can measure a computer monitor by measuring the distance between opposite corners on the viewable area of the screen. If you put each end of the measuring tool in the corner, you can get the screen's official size. However, if measuring corner to corner may be difficult to line up on a larger screen or you just don't want to get fingerprints on the monitor, you can alternatively use the Pythagorean Theorem to measure the screen size. Add the square of the screen's height and length measurements together, then determine the square root of the sum. The answer is the screen's size in inches. Don't Count the Bevel With older CRT monitors there is a discrepancy in how you should measure the size of the screen. Sometimes the measurement is provided by giving the visible area, but other times the size is determined including the bevel that borders the screen."

It is commonly expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, as in 16:9. For an x: y aspect ratio, no matter how big or small the image is, if the width is divided into x units of equal length and the height is measured using this same length unit, the height will be measured to be y units. In, for example, a group of images that all have an aspect ratio of 16:9, one image might be 16 inches wide and 9 inches high, another 16 centimeters wide and 9 centimeters high, and a third might be 8 yards wide and 4.5 yards high. Thus, aspect ratio concerns the relationship of the width to the height, not an image's actual size.

But what about the best monitor for photo editing? Well, professionals and photographers, who are concerned about translating what is shown on the screen to a photo book or print, with correct color reproduction will certainly have their own wants and priorities from an LCD. Now, before buying one, there are certain things to consider, which are:1. Color Gamut If you are working on a 14/16-bit RAW image file, you will certainly want to have a display that shows you those subtleties contained in every picture you capture. Hence, a digital connection like Thunderbolt, DVI, or Display Port, is necessary as well. In short, look for a monitor with an IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel and 8-bit LUT (Lookup t Table), as these things will pull pictures from a palate of about 16.7 million colors.2. Integrated Calibration Tools Monitors can ship with some calibration tools bundled in. In fact, few displays even have internal systems, which place the calibration sensors right in the display. Though most monitors are shipped with a colorimeter (external) to adjust it, when joined with an individual ICC profile for your paper and printer type, you can make use of soft proofing tools such as “Adobe Lightroom” to check how your prints actually look like on the display and paper.3."

The display resolution or display modes of a digital television, computer monitor or display device is the number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It can be an ambiguous term especially as the displayed resolution is controlled by different factors in cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, flat-panel displays (including liquid-crystal displays) and projection displays using fixed picture-element (pixel) arrays. It is usually quoted as width × height, with the units in pixels: for example, \"\"1024 × 768\"\" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels. This example would normally be spoken as \"\"ten twenty-four by seven sixty-eight\"\" or \"\"ten twenty-four by seven six eight\"\". One use of the term \"\"display resolution\"\" applies to fixed-pixel-array displays such as plasma display panels (PDP), liquid-crystal displays (LCD), Digital Light Processing (DLP) projectors, OLED displays, and similar technologies, and is simply the physical number of columns and rows of pixels creating the display (e.g. 1920 × 1080)."

Of course there are tools around that can easily tell you how many pixels on the screen it is from one point to another, but actually measuring something in inches or centimeters is a little more tricky. Whether you want to find out if a button is placed correctly on a webpage, or an object is in the correct position in your graphic work, or even if you want the dimensions of a real object but don’t have a ruler or tape measure to hand, there are utilities available to help you out. Here’s 7 tools to help you find out a variety of different measurements either in the real world or virtually on the screen. Important Note: If you’re going to use one of these rulers for a more accurate measurement or to measure a real world object against it, the ruler needs to be calibrated so the inches / centimeters are correct. This will differ from screen to screen because of different resolutions and monitor dimensions etc. For the best results you need to know the resolution of the current display (ie; 1920×1080) and the monitor’s exact diagonal size in inches. ( ie; 23.5″). Using a value of 22 inches when your monitor is actually 21.5 will still produce a slightly inaccurate measurement and needs to be as exact as possible. Once you have this information, visit the PPICalc or DPI / PPI Calculator webpages and enter the horizontal and vertical resolutions and the diagonal size."

First, let’s figure out what you’re going to do with music on this laptop, then we’ll run down the basic options and identify the most important software and peripherals. Recording, Producing/Composing, or Performing? Musicians use laptops in different ways. Many employ a traditional approach, recording tracks from microphones and instruments, then mixing them to create the final product. Hip-hop, pop, and EDM musicians typically use the laptop itself to produce most of the actual sounds—programming the sounds into a sequencer or playing them on a MIDI keyboard or touchpads connected to the laptop. But they still record vocals and some other sounds using microphones, and mix those with computer-generated audio and often with snippets of other artists’ recordings."

The device you use will depend on what form this data takes (be it text, sound, artwork, etc.). Similarly, after the computer has processed your data, you often need to produce output of the results. This output could be a display on the computer screen, hard copy on printed pages, or even the audio playback of music you composed on the computer. The terms “input” and “output” are used both as verbs to describe the process of entering or displaying the data, and as nouns referring to the data itself entered into or displayed by the computer.

Input Devices Keyboard The computer keyboard is used to enter text information into the computer, as when you type the contents of a report. The keyboard can also be used to type commands directing the computer to perform certain actions.

In primary visual cortex (V1) in particular, adaptation controls the responsiveness of individual neurons and shifts their visual selectivity. What benefits does adaptation confer on a neuronal population? We measured adaptation in the responses of populations of cat V1 neurons to stimulus ensembles with markedly different statistics of stimulus orientation. We found that adaptation served two homeostatic goals. First, it maintained equality in the time-averaged responses across the population. Second, it maintained independence in selectivity across the population. Adaptation scaled and distorted population activity according to a simple multiplicative rule that depended on neuronal orientation preference and on stimulus orientation. We conclude that adaptation in V1 acts as a mechanism of homeostasis, enforcing a tendency toward equality and independence in neural activity across the population.

"text": "\"The 72 PPI Web Resolution Myth1001SHARESWritten by Steve Patterson. If you've been around computers and digital images for a while, especially if you're a web designer or a photographer publishing your photos online, you've no doubt heard it said that the correct resolution for images displayed on the web, or on computer screens in general, is 72 pixels per inch (ppi). You may have even heard it said that while 72 ppi is correct for images displayed on a Mac, a Windows-based PC needs the resolution set to 96 ppi. Some say it's \"\"ppi\"\" ( pixels per inch), others claim it's \"\"dpi\"\" ( dots per inch), and the whole thing would get very confusing if it were not for one small fact - it's all complete nonsense! In this tutorial, we'll learn why there's simply no such thing as a standard web or screen resolution and why, if your images are destined for the web, you don't need to worry about image resolution at all!Get all of our tutorials as print-ready PDFs!A Little History... The origin of the 72 ppi screen resolution dates all the way back to the mid 1980's when Apple released its first Macintosh computers. These computers included a built-in 9 inch display with a screen resolution of 72 pixels per inch. Why 72 pixels per inch? It's because the Macintosh screens were specifically designed to work in perfect harmony with Apple's Image Writer printers, which had a print resolution of 144 dots per inch - exactly twice the resolution of the screen. This made it easy to scale the screen display to the printed page, which meant that your text and graphics could be previewed on the screen at the exact size they would appear when printed. Later on, as Apple began making larger displays for the Macintosh, they made sure to keep the screen resolutions set to the same 72 pixels per inch so users would always see an accurate on-screen preview of the printed document (as long as they were using an Image Writer printer)."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search It has been suggested that Retina Display be merged into this article. ( Discuss) Proposed since October 2017. Pixels per inch ( PPI) or pixels per centimeter ( PPCM) are measurements of the pixel density (resolution) of an electronic image device, such as a computer monitor or television display, or image digitizing device such as a camera or image scanner. Horizontal and vertical density are usually the same, as most devices have square pixels, but differ on devices that have non-square pixels. PPI can also describe the resolution, in pixels, of an image file. A 100×100 pixel image printed in a 1 inch square has a resolution of 100 pixels per inch. Used this way, the measurement is meaningful when printing an image. It has become commonplace to refer to PPI as DPI, even though PPI refers to input resolution. Industry standard, good quality photographs usually require 300 pixels per inch, at 100% size, when printed onto coated paper stock, using a printing screen of 150 lines per inch (lpi). This delivers a quality factor of 2, which is optimum."

BSanalyze software from g.tec to implement a BCI. This sequence involves displaying and training a person on specific visual stimuli, recording an EEG, and analyzing the EEG using artifact control and feature extraction by filtering common spatial patterns. Data classification is then performed via a linear discriminant analysis. After a training period, the subject is able to control a horizontal bar on the computer screen with an accuracy of nearly 100% simply by imagining the movement of a limb. EEG Measurement and Applications An EEG is measured noninvasively using small electrodes that are attached to the surface of the scalp."

"text": "Input and Output Devices Links to topics on this page: Before a computer can process your data, you need some method to input the data into the machine. The device you use will depend on what form this data takes (be it text, sound, artwork, etc.). Similarly, after the computer has processed your data, you often need to produce output of the results. This output could be a display on the computer screen, hardcopy on printed pages, or even the audio playback of music you composed on the computer. The terms “input” and “output” are used both as verbs to describe the process of entering or displaying the data, and as nouns referring to the data itself entered into or displayed by the computer. Below we discuss the variety of peripheral devices used for computer input and output. Input Devices Keyboard Input Devices Keyboard Mouse Touch pad Track Ball Other Output Devices CRT Monitor Flat Panel Display Ink Jet Printer Laster Printer Other The computer keyboard is used to enter text information into the computer, as when you type the contents of a report. The keyboard can also be used to type commands directing the computer to perform certain actions. Commands are typically chosen from an on-screen menu using a mouse, but there are often keyboard shortcuts for giving these same commands. In addition to the keys of the main keyboard (used for typing text), keyboards usually also have a numeric keypad (for entering numerical data efficiently), a bank of editing keys (used in text editing operations), and a row of function keys along the top (to easily invoke certain program functions)."

"text": "\"How interchangeable are laptop power supplies? December 20, 2007 3:04 PM Subscribe How interchangeable are laptop power supplies? The power supply for my Toshiba Satellite laptop just got fried - there was a kink in the cord which finally caused a wire to fray, and now the thing is dead. I have an older power supply (also for a Toshiba laptop, albeit a much older one). Can I use the old power supply? The dead power supply has an output labeled \"\"15V - 5A\"\", while the older one has an output labeled \"\"15V - 3A\"\". Will it work?posted by Jeff L to Computers & Internet (9 answers total) 1 user marked this as a favorite Duh, I'm actually referring to the brick-like \"\"AC Adaptor\"\", (the thing between the electrical outlet and the computer, not the internal power supply). Sorry. posted by Jeff L at 3:07 PM on December 20, 2007No, it won't work, because the old power supply isn't rated to supply 5 Amps of current, which your new computer requires. It might work for a while and then get really hot and melty when your laptop starts to draw a lot of power, or it might work because it actually can handle more than 3A, but this isn't something you should experiment with."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search A simple general purpose desktop power supply used in electronic labs, with power output connector seen at lower-left and power input connector (not shown) located at the rear A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The primary function of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power supplies are separate standalone pieces of equipment, while others are built into the load appliances that they power. Examples of the latter include power supplies found in desktop computers and consumer electronics devices. Other functions that power supplies may perform include limiting the current drawn by the load to safe levels, shutting off the current in the event of an electrical fault, power conditioning to prevent electronic noise or voltage surges on the input from reaching the load, power-factor correction, and storing energy so it can continue to power the load in the event of a temporary interruption in the source power ( uninterruptible power supply ). All power supplies have a power input connection, which receives energy in the form of electric current from a source, and one or more power output connections that deliver current to the load. The source power may come from the electric power grid, such as an electrical outlet, energy storage devices such as batteries or fuel cells, generators or alternators, solar power converters, or another power supply. The input and output are usually hardwired circuit connections, though some power supplies employ wireless energy transfer to power their loads without wired connections. Some power supplies have other types of inputs and outputs as well, for functions such as external monitoring and control."

A proliferation of types developed to address the issues of convenience and protection from electric shock. Today there are approximately 20 types in common use around the world, and many obsolete socket types are still found in older buildings. Co-ordination of technical standards has allowed some types of plugs to be used over wide regions to facilitate trade in electrical appliances, and for the convenience of travellers and consumers of imported electrical goods."

A \"\"wall wart\"\" type AC adapter for a household game console Internal adapter circuitry An AC adapter, AC/DC adapter, or AC/DC converter [1] is a type of external power supply, often enclosed in a case similar to an AC plug. Other common names include plug pack, plug-in adapter, adapter block, domestic mains adapter, line power adapter, wall wart, power brick, and power adapter. Adapters for battery-powered equipment may be described as chargers or rechargers (see also battery charger ). AC adapters are used with electrical devices that require power but do not contain internal components to derive the required voltage and power from mains power. The internal circuitry of an external power supply is very similar to the design that would be used for a built-in or internal supply. External power supplies are used both with equipment with no other source of power and with battery -powered equipment, where the supply, when plugged in, can sometimes charge the battery in addition to powering the equipment. Use of an external power supply allows portability of equipment powered either by mains or battery without the added bulk of internal power components, and makes it unnecessary to produce equipment for use only with a specified power source; the same device can be powered from 120 VAC or 230 VAC mains, vehicle or aircraft battery by using a different adapter. Another advantage of these designs can be increased safety; as the hazardous 120 or 240 volt mains power is transformed to a lower safer voltage at the wall outlet, and the appliance which is handled by the user is powered by this lower voltage."

"text": "\"Home Suppliers Ordering and Invoicing Electronic Data Interchange What is Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)? Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic interchange of business information using a standardized format; a process which allows one company to send information to another company electronically rather than with paper. Business entities conducting business electronically are called trading partners. Many business documents can be exchanged using EDI, but the two most common are purchase orders and invoices. At a minimum, EDI replaces the mail preparation and handling associated with traditional business communication. However, the real power of EDI is that it standardizes the information communicated in business documents, which makes possible a \"\"paperless\"\" exchange. The traditional invoice illustrates what this can mean. Most companies create invoices using a computer system, print a paper copy of the invoice and mail it to the customer. Upon receipt, the customer frequently marks up the invoice and enters it into its own computer system. The entire process is nothing more than the transfer of information from the seller's computer to the customer's computer."

It is the main printed circuit board present in the computers which holds the main electronic components of the system like the central processing unit and memory and also provides the connectors for other important peripherals. A motherboard is a large system in itself which contains a number of subsystems like the processor and other components. The basic function for which a motherboard is used in a computer is that it holds the important electronic components of the system including the memory and central processing unit and helps in establishing some sort of bridged connection between other internal components of the system. This well written article about the parts and functions of a motherboard will give you more information about all the important parts of a motherboard and the functions performed by these parts in proper detail. The understanding of the components and functions of a motherboard is also important if you want to be able to design your own computer.

It refers to an external data exchange from one’s organization’s system to the system of a trading partner, e.g. with business documents like orders, confirmations or invoices. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)With the evolution of the supply chain management systems (SCM) from functional SCM (1950’s-1980’s) over integrated SCM (1980’s-1990’s) to value network (1990’s-today) the requirements towards the communications along the supply chain changed significantly. 1) Nowadays collaborative planning beyond the enterprise asks for tools to include contract manufacturers, key customers and supplier directly and efficiently into the supply chain to ensure direct communication and planning. This development was facilitated by the development of EDI, as this allows an automatically generated sending and receiving between two enterprises. EDI is not just a transfer of data but also a direct interaction where one system can initiate action on the computer of the counterpart. The data transmission nowadays mainly takes place via internet. There is no more need of participation of “real people” in the operational data processing. Only the administration has to be done by IT people. Compared to previous communication methods via hardcopy (fax, letters, etc.)"

Keep track of the special assessments, though, because you could add that to your cost basis when you get ready to sell the condo. If you rented out a condo that you owned, then you could deduct all the assessment fees. I hope that helps answers your question.

"text": "Do You Need Homeowner’s Insurance if You Own a Condo?by Emily Guy Birken · 3 comments In many ways, buying a condominium offers fewer headaches than owning a single-family home: you don’t need to take care of yard work or snow removal, nor do you have to handle major maintenance issues on the building itself. However, not everything about condo living is easier. In particular, figuring out how to adequately insure your home is a much more complicated prospect when you own a condominium. Here’s what you need to know about homeowner’s insurance for condos: Know the Master Policy Part of the confusion with condo insurance comes from the fact that the building itself is covered by the condo association’s master policy. These policies are paid for by your association dues, and they cover any part of the complex that’s owned in common — from building exteriors and hallways to common rooms or pool areas. The master policy doesn’t cover any individual unit, however, since the owner of that unit is expected to have their own insurance for the contents. How much insurance you need for that depends on what type of master policy your association has. There are two types: bare walls-in, which only covers the structural aspects of any particular condominium unit, and all-in, which covers the structure and any fixtures that come standard in the condo, like countertops and light fixtures. If your association master policy is a bare walls-in variety, that means you’ll need more coverage, since you’re responsible for everything within your unit other than the bare walls and floor. Know the Association Deductible Another piece of the puzzle is how high the master policy deductible is."

"text": "\"Home » Home Are Condo Fees Tax Deductible?by Michael Keenan; Updated July 27, 2017In most cases, you can't deduct condo fees from your taxes the way you can deduct other homeowner-related expenses, such as mortgage interest or private mortgage insurance. However, you may be eligible to deduct some or all of the costs if you use part of your condo as a home office or if you rent out the condo. Home Office If you work from home, you may be able to include a fraction of your condo fees as part of the home office deduction. To qualify, you must use a part of your condo regularly and exclusively as your principal place of business. For example, if you use one of four rooms in the condo exclusively for your consulting business, you can deduct 25 percent of the fees. If you occasionally work from your den, but also use the den for personal purposes, you can't deduct the fees. Rental Condo If you rent out your condo, you can deduct the portion of your condo fees that go toward maintaining common areas. For example, if your condo fees are used to maintain a tennis court and pool available to all residents, those costs are deductible as a rental expense. But if part of the fee goes toward improvements, like building a putting green on the grounds, that portion isn't deductible. References Gulati Law: Are Condominium Association Fees Tax Deductible?"

"text": "Maui What is a Residential Condo in Hawaii? By Tracy Stice, R (B) ABR, CRS, GRI, Green June 3, 2011 26 Comments Share At first sight, you probably wonder, “What is a “residential” condominium in Hawaii? How does it differ from a ‘real’ condo?”A residential condo, many times referred to as a CPR (condominium property regime) property, is essentially the identical item under the Hawaii State Law HRS 514B. In order to create a condominium, you need to have certain elements: Zoning that will allow multiple units on a parcel of land Construction that conforms to all of the county zoning codes and has permits for all structures that presently exist, or that will be constructed as part of the condo process Limited use of some portion of the overall parcel Common ownership of some portion of the overall parcel Not to be confused with the middle photo, a CPR in the context of Hawaii real estate can be both high rise condo complexes, or beautiful oceanfront residential condos on the shores of Makena, Maui. All of these elements are the same, whether you want to create a 40-story condo tower, or if you want to build two houses on one lot, and submit the tower or the houses to HRS 514B to create “apartments” that may be individually conveyed as “limited common elements.” The law does not allow any increase in density of the underlying county zoning, allow any more people to live on a property, or create uses not already allowed by the underlying county zoning. How Does it Differ From a “Real” Condo? A residential condo differs from a “real” condo really only in respect to the fact the residential condo may look exactly like a single family detached home, complete with a fenced yard around the “limited common elements” of the home and yard. The term “limited common elements” is defined as “those rights appurtenant to (belonging to) the specific apartment.” These rights can include the structure, a defined area of land limited specifically to the apartment, perhaps a garage, a swimming pool or other feature, all exclusively for the use of the apartment. The residential condo may share some common elements with other structure (s) on the same parcel such as common driveways, a water meter, utility hookups, or possibly something like a pool or tennis court."

If you own a condominium, you’ll need an individual condo insurance policy even though your condo association has its own coverage. While the condo association takes some of the insurance burden off you, you’ll still need your own protection. Condo association insurance typically covers building exteriors and common areas. However, this type of home insurance – known as the master policy or Home Owner Association (HOA) policy – doesn't likely cover what's inside your specific unit. It also may not cover all damages outside your unit. AVERAGE CONDO INSURANCE RATESin your neighborhood Condo insurance coverage Homeowners insurance and condo insurance vary in terms of what’s covered. While regular homeowners insurance covers damages to the home and contents, condo insurance, also known as HO6 insurance, covers property damage and liability risks for condo owners inside the condo only. When looking to buy condo insurance, carefully review your condo association policy first."

Usually, there’s no backyard or basement, and you don’t have to worry about cutting the grass or shoveling a front walk. Insurance is another area where homes and condos differ. Condo owners are typically responsible for insuring just a portion of their property on their own. However, rules differ from complex to complex, and it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure you have proper insurance coverage. Here are six things you need to know about insuring your condominium.6 questions about condo insurance Condominium owners have unique insurance needs. Ask yourself these questions to make sure you are properly insured. What does your master policy say? How expensive is the association deductible? How much coverage is appropriate?"

"text": "\"The New CONDO/HOA Laws and the Property Manager Print this Article | Send to Colleagueby Harry A. Heist, Attorney at Law Condominium, cooperatives and homeowner’s associations, hereinafter \"\"Associations\"\" for this article, have been suffering greatly due to the failure of the unit owners to pay their fees and assessments. These fees and assessments are due monthly, quarterly or yearly according to the Association’s documents; they are not optional payments, but rather a legal, contractual obligation of the unit owner. The inability of the Associations to be able to collect these monies owed from the unit owner, many of whom are also not paying their mortgage payments, have caused the unit owners who are indeed paying to sometimes have dramatic increases in the assessments and fees owed to their Association. As a result, some Associations have to make tough choices like cutting pool hours, no longer including cable, no longer including water, no longer manning the access gates, and cutting staff, clubhouse hours and activities, among many other things. In the past, the only recourse an Association had when dealing with a delinquent unit owner was to file a foreclosure action against the unit owner, which would then often trigger a foreclosure action by the bank against the unit owner, and in the end, the Association would frequently get nothing but a bill from their attorney. Things were quite different in the past, when very few unit owners would simply cease paying the dues, fees and assessments. It happened, but not nearly to the extent of what is going on today. Further, when it did happen, the unit owner usually just sold the property and the amounts owed were usually recouped by the Association at the closing. To add insult to injury, many of the unit owners today are renting their units out, and although not paying their mortgage, taxes, insurance, assessments or dues, they have been regularly collecting rent from their tenants. Many property managers are completely aware of this and currently are managing properties in this position, while some managers are not aware of the financial situation of the owner, who really has no incentive to disclose this to the property manager."

What do you think? — Yvette Dear Yvette, In this case, I’m pretty sure you’re referring to a co-op (short for cooperative housing project) since there’s really no such thing as a “co-op condo” combo. While co-ops and condos can be identical in look, size and function, their financial structures are totally different. Unlike condos, which are individually owned by buyers, a co-op is owned by a small corporation. When you buy into a co-op, you’re purchasing shares of that corporation that entitle you to an exclusive leasehold on your unit. Typically, the larger the co-op unit, the more shares you own. Unlike condo owners, co-op resident shareholders pay monthly maintenance fees (which are tax-deductible) that cover their complex’s upkeep and operating expenses such as real estate taxes, mortgage payments, heating and air conditioning, hot water, insurance and staff wages. When you buy a condo, on the other hand, you own real property and a deed, pay your property-tax bills directly to the city and pay a monthly common charge that’s lower than a co-op maintenance charge. That’s because you’re paying the mortgage directly to your lender."

In the late seventies and early 80's when many rental buildings converted, huge profits were being made by former renters who bought their units at inside prices and then resold them. Called \"\"flipping\"\" The boards decided to impose the transfer fee and call it a flip tax on sellers to dissuade flipping.

"text": "\"One of the most surprising aspects of buying or selling a New York City apartment —and thus, one of the more stressful—is the amount you'll spend on closing costs, potentially tens of thousands of dollars that get tacked onto the purchase or sale of a home. For sellers, closing costs take a bite out of the proceeds from the deal, possibly affecting your future plans. For buyers, closing costs can have a real impact on budget, in some cases persuading you to buy one apartment over the other. “ When you’re considering that co-op that you like versus that condo that you like, it’s not just the purchase price, it’s the closing costs as well,” says Doug Perlson, founder of brokerage Real Direct. “ When the typical buyer or seller is thinking about what their closing costs are going to be,” he adds, “they inevitably underestimate because they don’t take into account a lof the smaller items.” [ This story originally ran in March, 2015 and has since been updated with new information. ] If you’re jumping into the market, do it with eyes wide open. Read on for an overview of how to estimate your closing costs, as well as a few ways to save: How much to budget for closing costs in NYCAlong with a laundry list of administrative charges —a $100 UCC-3 filing fee here, a $250 lien search charge there—the big ticket items are the broker’s commission, taxes, mortgage expenses, attorneys’ fees and building fees. Some, like move-in and move-out fees, are the same across the board, while others depend on the sale price, as well as what kind of apartment you’re dealing with (condos have higher costs for buyers) and whether you’re getting a mortgage or not.. Below is a general guide, though, of course, the actual sum will vary widely. Buyers: 2 to 4 percent of the cost of the apartment A good rule of thumb is to set aside roughly 2 to 3 percent of the purchase price or 3 to 4 percent if the apartment is over $1 million (more on this later)."

There are some dates you always remember, and for the Ontario real estate industry it’s April 9, 1974. That is the day the province shocked the sector by announcing a 50 per cent land speculation tax. “We had no wind of this,” said Lebow, now 69, and still a Toronto realtor. “ I was 27 years old and I owned 53 houses the day (speculation tax) came in. “We were the largest home buyers in Toronto, my (financial) partners and myself. I went to bed a millionaire and woke up owing about $1.5 million the next morning. ”The governing Conservatives under Premier William Davis imposed a provincial tax, fully independent of any federal capital gains tax, which allowed for a 50 per cent tax on any land profits. Principal residences and family-owned farm lands were exempt. “The market literally collapsed overnight,” says Bob Aaron, a veteran Toronto real estate lawyer. “"

"text": "Home » Tenancy In Common (TIC) » Understanding Basic TIC Concepts and Structure »Clear Answers and Explanations on Tenancy In Common (TIC)By Andy Sirkin (5/19/11)What is a tenancy in common (TIC)? The acronym “TIC”, which stands for tenancy in common and tenants in common, refers to arrangements under which two or more people co-own a parcel of real estate without a “right of survivorship”. This type of co-ownership allows each co-owner to choose who will inherit his/her ownership interest upon death. By contrast, the type of co-ownership called “joint tenancy” requires that each co-owner’s interest pass to the other co-owners upon death. The broader terms “fractional ownership”, “shared ownership, and “co-ownership” encompass all arrangements involving two or more owners, including tenancy in common and joint tenancy. The terms tenancy in common, tenants in common, and TIC, can be confusing because they are used interchangeably to describe a variety of co-ownership arrangements with very different characteristics and purposes. The “tenant in common issues” critical in one context are often completely irrelevant in another, leading to confusion. To cut through the confusion, create categories and subcategories for different types of shared ownership arrangements. Start by distinguishing between TICs that assign each co-owner usage rights to the co-owned property, and TICs that do not. Within the world of TICs without assigned usage rights, there are: (i) those that come together informally among groups of family members and friends, sometimes through inheritance, and hold property for investment purposes, and (ii) those that are organized by syndicators or sponsors to be essentially passive investments and repositories for the proceeds of 1031 tax-deferred exchanges."

It usually just gives you back a concrete box.

"text": "If you buy a house or a condo that’s in a large development, there may be a homeowner’s association that takes care of maintenance of common areas, snow removal and other things in the development. Homeowners pay for these services through a fee levied monthly, quarterly or annually. How you use the property determines whether the HOA fee is tax-deductible or not. If you live in your property year-round, then the HOA fees are not deductible. Though many costs of owning a home are deductible on your income taxes, including your mortgage interest and property taxes, the IRS does not allow you to deduct HOA fees, because they are considered an assessment by a private entity. If the home is a rental property, however, HOA fees do become deductible. In this case, the IRS considers HOA fees to be a deductible cost of maintaining the rental property You report the fees on Schedule E on your tax return. If your property is a second home or vacation home that you use personally but also rent out, things get a bit more complicated. You still can deduct HOA fees but only for the time the property is used as a rental. Say, for example, you live in the house from December through March and rent it out the rest of the year."

Let Us Help You What is Environmental Law? Environmental Law is a complex combination of state, federal, and international treaty law pertaining to issues of concern to the environment and protecting natural resources. For example, environmental laws often relate to issues such as pollution of soil, air, or water; global warming; and depletion of oil, coal, and clean water. Administration of Environmental Regulations In the United States, the chief government agency for administering environmental regulations is the Environmental Protection Agency. Additionally, many states have their own environmental enforcement agencies. In both cases, these bodies administer the laws designed to protect both human health and the natural environment. They usually have the capacity to pass regulations on environmental issues and to enforce those regulations through the imposition of fines, legal action, or even the institution of criminal proceedings. Pollution Control and Remediation Generally, environmental law is broken into two categories: pollution control and remediation on the one hand, and conservation of natural resources on the other. The source of authority for these laws derives from many sources, and is heavily influenced by international treaties."

Both torts have been present from the time of Henry III, being affected by a variety of philosophical shifts through the years which saw them become first looser and then far more stringent and less protecting of an individual's rights. Each tort requires the claimant to prove that the defendant's actions caused interference, which was unreasonable, and in some situations the intention of the defendant may also be taken into account. A significant difference is that private nuisance does not allow a claimant to claim for any personal injury suffered, while public nuisance does. Private nuisance has received a range of criticism, with academics arguing that its concepts are poorly defined and open to judicial manipulation; Conor Gearty has written that \"\"Private nuisance has, if anything, become even more confused and confusing. Its chapter lies neglected in the standard works, little changed over the years, its modest message overwhelmed by the excitements to be found elsewhere in tort.

"text": "\"Resources New Jersey State Law Summary 2015NEW JERSEY STATE LAW SUMMARYA. CAUSES OF ACTION1. Negligence New Jersey follows the traditional rule for establishing a cause of action in negligence. Plaintiff must prove that defendant had a duty to protect plaintiff from injury, defendant failed to perform that duty, and plaintiff’s injuries were proximately caused by defendant’s failure to perform that duty. The degree of care required of defendant must be in proportion to the apparent risk. As the danger becomes greater, defendant is required to exercise greater care commensurate with the danger.2. Negligence Per Se Generally, proof of a violation of a statutory duty is not the same as proof of negligence, although it is evidence to be considered by the jury. Where, however, a statute specifically incorporates a common-law standard of care, a jury finding of a statutory violation constitutes a finding of negligence. The Careless Driving statute is the best example of this principle because it provides that a person is guilty of careless driving if a person drives a vehicle “carelessly or without due caution and circumspection, in a manner so as to endanger or be likely to endanger, a person or property.” Since the statute contains a standard of care, a violation is negligence per se."

Photo: ALAMYBy Matthew Holehouse8:34AM BST 31 Mar 2014Follow Britain and Ireland have the highest death duties of any of the world's major economies, a study has found. The taxman on average takes more than a quarter of the estate of someone worth more than £1.8m, compared with a global average of under 8 per cent. The figures will increase pressure on David Cameron, the Prime Minister, to see through his pledge to raise the threshold on death duties to £1 million if the Conservatives win the next election. Britain's inheritance tax threshold of £325,000 is the second highest in the developed world, only behind Ireland, according to a global study by accountants UHY Hacker Young. The threshold for death duties in the United States is £3.2m, and the level has risen more than threefold in the last decade.

"text": "\"What is the Oil Spill Law? The Oil Spill Law, enacted in 1977 1, provides that anyone who discharges petroleum without a permit - even a very small amount - is \"\"strictly liable\"\" (liable without regard to fault) for all cleanup and removal costs. As a result, the owner of the oil tank from which the oil spilled or leaked - such as the homeowner whose heating oil tank leaks - may be required to pay for the cleanup regardless of whether the homeowner's actions \"\"caused\"\" the spill or leak. The law provides that others involved with the spill or who caused the spill also may be liable for the cleanup and damages. Thus, the owner/operator of the oil delivery truck or equipment often may share responsibility for the costs of cleaning up a spill or leak, as when a deliverer overfills a tank. However, the Oil Spill Law also provides that each person, including the homeowner or operator of the tank or truck, can be held liable for the entire cleanup cost. This is called \"\"joint and several liability. \"\" The New York Environmental Protection and Spill Compensation Fund (the \"\"Fund\"\") provides state agencies, particularly the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), with money to clean up oil spills if the responsible parties cannot afford to pay, cannot be identified, or refuse responsibility. 2 To protect public health and the environment, DEC retains a contractor to clean up the spill. Because it is important to clean up the spill quickly, the cleanup is often conducted before the responsible parties can be identified or are willing to accept responsibility."

"text": "\"Topics Employment Law Litigation Legal Alert: Supreme Court Adopts Narrow Definition of Supervisor Under Title VIIDate Jun 25, 2013On June 24, 2013, the United States Supreme Court issued an opinion favorable to employers, determining the term \"\"supervisor\"\" under Title VII should be defined narrowly. Executive Summary: On June 24, 2013, the United States Supreme Court issued an opinion favorable to employers, determining the term \"\"supervisor\"\" under Title VII should be defined narrowly. In Vance v. Ball State University, the Court limited employers' vicarious liability for workplace harassment by a \"\"supervisor\"\" to harassing conduct by persons with authority to take tangible employment actions (hire, fire, demote, promote, transfer, discipline) against the victim. For the first time defining \"\"supervisor\"\" for Title VII purposes, the Court defined it narrowly and favorably to employers. The Court split 5-4 along ideological lines with Justice Alito writing the majority opinion for the conservative wing of the Court. Justice Ginsburg was joined in her dissent by Justices Sotomayor, Breyer, and Kagan. Background Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (\"\"Title VII\"\") makes it unlawful for an employer to discriminate against any individual with respect to compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment because of the individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Supreme Court has recognized that this language also prohibits the creation or perpetuation of a discriminatory or \"\"hostile\"\" work environment through harassment or other means. In two leading decisions issued in 1998, the Supreme Court focused on the harasser's status in determining whether an employer will be held liable for alleged harassment. In Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U. S. 775, and Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth, 524 U. S. 742, the Court held that if the alleged harasser is the plaintiff's co-worker, the employer will be vicariously liable for the misconduct only if it was negligent in either discovering or remedying the offending behavior."

Walsh Follow Sign in to follow this author Founder & Field Biologist at Ecologica | Eco-Friendly Pest Management | Researcher & Naturalist Soil erosion is defined as the wearing away of the top soil. Top soil is the top layer of soil and is the most fertile as it contains the most organic nutrient rich materials. Soil erosion can be caused by water, wind and farming practices. Accelerated soil erosion occurs when the activities of human beings disturb the natural environment, creating soil conditions which speed up soil erosion by water and wind. A number of factors affect soil erosion: De-forestation Over-grazing Compaction (which destroys soil structure)Farming on steep slopes without terraces Leaving bare ground exposed for long periods in winter Extensive irrigation (which raised the water table resulting in soil salinity)Compaction (due to heavy machinery which results in poor soil structure)Some 80% of soil microbes live in the top 5cm of soil. If they are buried by digging or ploughing most of them die and the population has to rebuild over time. These microbes are the powerhouse of soil fertility. By continually knocking them back we are weakening the soils ability to generate its own fertility. For example, ploughing to 12cm is less disruptive than ploughing to 24cm. One of the main causes of soil erosion is water which results in the loss of top soil."

Of the 48 states that responded, 42 allow payment for some family members under limited circumstances in one or more of their programs. These are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The remaining six responding states (Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island) do not allow payments to family members. Two states (Montana and New Mexico) did not respond. Most states that provide caregivers through their regular home care programs do so through home care agencies and do not allow family members to serve as paid caregivers, except in unusual, very limited circumstances. Some allow family members, but not spouses or parents of minor children, but they must be employed, trained, and paid by the agency. States that allow relatives to be caregivers often do so through a “consumer-directed option,” either as part of the home care program or as a separate program, whereby consumers can choose and hire their own personal care attendant or assistant (PCA). PCAs may be certain relatives, but not usually the spouse, parent of a minor child or legally liable relative (except in 12 purely state-funded programs that do not have any limits on who can be a PCA and do not use Medicaid money)."

You may qualify for standard tax deductions for business expenses -- such as livestock feed and employee benefits -- or for deductions for land conservation costs. You can also take a tax deduction for depreciation of certain capital assets and may qualify for a deduction for operating losses. The number of deductions you can take may depend on your specific ranching operation. Remember that IRS rules can change annually. Business Expenses The IRS allows you to deduct certain operating expenses related to your cattle ranching operation. As of 2011, you may qualify for deductions for certain costs associated with raising cattle, such as breeding fees and livestock feed. In certain cases, you can also deduct labor expenses, including wages, worker’s compensation insurance and health insurance. If you have mortgages on your farm, you can typically deduct the interest you pay on your loans.

Even regulations and social programs help sustain a market economy by fixing many of its serious social and economic problems. One of the most common and misleading economic myths in the United States is the idea that the free market is “natural” – that it exists in some natural world, separate from government. In this view, government rules and regulations only “interfere” with the natural beneficial workings of the market. Even the term “free market” implies that it can exist free from government and that it prospers best when government leaves it alone. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, a market economy does not exist separate from government – it is very much a product of government rules and regulations. The dirty little secret of our “free” market system is that it would simply not exist as we know it without the presence of an active government that creates and maintains the rules and conditions that allow it to operate efficiently. Government Rules Make Markets and Capitalism Possible Markets, like governments, are very much social constructs."

"text": "\"Indirect Owner/Operator Liability Under CERCLAWhen Congress enacted the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (\"\"CERCLA,\"\" commonly referred to as \"\"Superfund\"\"), it created a broad liability scheme intended to make polluters pay the costs of cleaning up waste disposal sites, but it left to the courts the development of a federal common law to define the specific liability parameters created by Section 9607 and the subsequently enacted Section 9613 (f). Known for its poor drafting, inconsistent language and vague definitions, CERCLA's liability scheme has provided the federal courts with abundant opportunities to develop the detailed common law contemplated by the legislature. Section 9607 imposes strict liability on past and present owners and operators of facilities where hazardous substances have been disposed, as well as on the generators (sometimes referred to as \"\"arrangers\"\") of the waste and transporters who participated in the selection of the disposal site. By defining \"\"owner and operator,\"\" in Section 9601 (20) (A), as \"\"any person owning or operating\"\" the site in question, Congress left it to the federal courts to determine who should be held liable as an owner or operator. Should a parent corporation, shareholder, director, officer or facility manager be held liable as an owner or operator, and if so, under what circumstances should such liability be imposed? Are there circumstances where someone other than the actual generator of the waste or the actual transporter of the waste should be held liable under Sections 9607 (a) (3) and (4)? In the event of an asset sale which does not include the site in question, under what circumstances should the successor asset owner be subject to the CERCLA liabilities of the predecessor asset owner? In this and the following five issues of our White Paper Series we will be discussing how the federal courts have responded to these and other questions relating to the ongoing development of CERCLA's federal common law. In this paper, we review the courts' attempts to define when someone other than the actual or de jure owner or operator of a site may be held liable as such under Sections 9607 (a) (1) and (2). CERCLA was enacted to provide for the remediation of contaminated properties where the release or threatened release of hazardous substances poses a threat to human health or the environment."

Well, the short answer is, if on the first of any month, you can still answer the Health Savings Account (HSA) eligibility questions the same way as when you were asked while opening your HSA, then you are! But you don’t remember them, do you? To open your HSA you had to say “yes” to the following: Are you covered by an HSA-qualified High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)? And you had to say “no” to: Can you be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s taxes? Are you enrolled in Medicare? Do you have any other disqualifying coverage, including you or your spouse having a medical FSA? Assuming you opened your account based on these answers, and nothing has changed, you would still be eligible to make contributions to your account. How to Make Pre-Tax or Post-Tax Contributions First we have to be clear on what those terms mean. A pre-tax contribution is one made by your employer, either as part of your benefits plan, or as a deduction from your paycheck which you directed to your HSA."

"text": "Health insurance is a top priority for most of us, but premiums and out-of-pocket medical bills can leave your wallet thinner. Health savings accounts help by providing a way to pay for qualified medical expenses with tax-free dollars. However, there are only a few situations in which you can use HSA money to pay insurance premiums. Health Savings Accounts An HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account, meaning the dollars you put in are tax-exempt. The money put into the account may be in the form of pretax contributions made by you and/or your employer. If an HSA at work isn’t an option, you can start your own at a bank or other financial institution and make tax-deductible contributions. You can put money in an HSA up to the amount of your health insurance deductible or the annual IRS limit, whichever is less. As of 2013, the IRS limits were $3,250 for yourself or $6,450 for a family coverage plan Paying Premiums You usually don’t get to use HSA dollars to pay your health insurance premiums, but there are a few exceptions. You can pay premiums out of your HSA if you are receiving unemployment benefits or making COBRA payments to maintain your insurance coverage after leaving a job. If you have money left in an HSA after you turn 65, you can use it to make Medicare payments Other Medical Costs Almost any medical cost not covered by your insurance can be paid with HSA dollars."

Posted by Ryan Guina on January 19, 2018 | Insurance Health Savings Accounts, or HSAs, are growing in popularity among people who need affordable health insurance and among employers looking to save on health insurance costs. HSAs have many benefits beyond cost savings. Let’s dive in and take a look at what exactly is a health savings account, the HSA contribution limits for each calendar year, how HSAs are one of the most flexible financial accounts you can open, and why it’s a good idea to max out your annual HSA contributions. What is a Health Savings Account? Health Savings Accounts are a type of tax-advantaged savings account specifically for health care spending. Contributions are tax deductible in the year they are made, and grow tax free. To be eligible for an HSA, you need to participate in a qualifying High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) for health insurance. A plan may qualify as a HDHP if the deductibles are $1,350 per year or higher for individuals, or $2,700 per year or higher for family plan. These deductibles are typically higher than average, hence the name, High Deductible Health Plan."

The IRS regulates HSA plans, so many of the plan design features described below are a result of those regulations. Amounts are contributed to an HSA on a pre-tax basis, earnings on those contributions accumulate tax-free and distributions are not subject to tax if they are used to pay for eligible medical expenses for employees and their dependents. Contributions made in one year do not have to be used to pay expenses in that year and may be carried over to pay eligible medical expenses at anytime in the future. Similarly, expenses in any year do not have to be reimbursed during the year that they were incurred. The HSA enables Wash U employees to have an account that they can own for health care. The view of HSA supporters is that once employees feel ownership over their health care dollars, they will make cost-effective decisions that will control spending increases and benefit not only themselves, but their employer and other employees. In addition, it provides our employees some opportunity to save for retiree medical expenses on a tax-favored basis while employed. Not all employees will be better off with an HSA as compared with traditional low deductible or co-pay health plans. Those who are currently infrequent users of health care and/or have higher incomes and are looking for sheltered savings opportunities are likely to be the first to find HSA’s attractive."

"text": "It’s Not Too Late to Maximize Your 2016 HSA Contributions: Contribute Until April 17, 2017One of the big pros of enrolling in a high-deductible health plan is that it is paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA). A HSA gives individuals the ability to make pre-tax contributions that can grow federally tax-free over time and be used for qualifying medical expenses. Every year the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sets the annual HSA maximum contribution limit for the calendar year. To make the most of a HSA, you’ll want to deposit as much money as your budget will allow up to that maximum to save on federal taxes, and to create a cushion of federally tax-advantaged funds. These funds can be used should you have eligible healthcare expenditures that you need to pay for out of your own pocket in the future. You have longer than you think to save Many people think that they can no longer contribute towards the 2016 annual contribution limit after December 31, 2016. However, the good news is that you have until Monday, April 17 th, 2017, the standard tax-filing deadline for 2016 filings, or the date you file your individual tax return if earlier, to make your contributions for the 2016 calendar year. But how do you do this on or after January 1, 2017? Since you cannot make payroll deductions to a HSA for a prior tax year, you’ll need to either write a personal check or electronically transfer money from your personal bank account to your HSA bank or administrator. When you do this, you need to make it very clear on the check, deposit slip or online notes that the contribution is for 2016."

If your employer offers high-deductible health insurance policies, or if you’ve tried shopping around for low-cost health insurance, you may have run across this acronym. As their popularity has grown, so have the questions about them. In fact, I recently received a question about what they are and how to qualify for one. So what exactly is an HSA? It stands for Health Savings Account and is a way to save for health expenses tax free. In order to be eligible to open an HSA you have to have a health insurance policy with a deductible of at least $1,200 for single coverage or $2,400 for family coverage. That deductible is generally how much you have to cover out of pocket before the insurance even kicks in."

Posted by Ryan Guina on January 19, 2018 | Insurance Health Savings Accounts, or HSAs, are growing in popularity among people who need affordable health insurance and among employers looking to save on health insurance costs. HSAs have many benefits beyond cost savings. Let’s dive in and take a look at what exactly is a health savings account, the HSA contribution limits for each calendar year, how HSAs are one of the most flexible financial accounts you can open, and why it’s a good idea to max out your annual HSA contributions. What is a Health Savings Account? Health Savings Accounts are a type of tax-advantaged savings account specifically for health care spending. Contributions are tax deductible in the year they are made, and grow tax free. To be eligible for an HSA, you need to participate in a qualifying High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) for health insurance. A plan may qualify as a HDHP if the deductibles are $1,350 per year or higher for individuals, or $2,700 per year or higher for family plan. These deductibles are typically higher than average, hence the name, High Deductible Health Plan."

Each account has its own benefits and merits, and they are similar in some ways. The philosophy behind an HRA and an HSA is that they are designed to help make healthcare more affordable for workers and their families by providing financial support for health related expenses. Members and account holders can use the funds in their HRA or HSA to pay for qualified health expenses, which means the person is more involved in his or her personal healthcare since they choose how and when to spend their healthcare dollars. Also, both accounts can be part of an employer-sponsored benefit plan (and some employers offer both). HRA vs HSA – What’s the difference? The key difference between the two accounts is that an HRA is employer-owned whereas an HSA is employee-owned. This means an HRA is left behind when an employee no longer works for that employer, and the funds are no longer accessible. With an HSA, the employee keeps the account and can transfer it when he or she changes jobs."

Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), HSA funds roll over and accumulate year to year if they are not spent. HSAs are owned by the individual, which differentiates them from company-owned Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA) that are an alternate tax-deductible source of funds paired with either HDHPs or standard health plans.

August 16, 2017Share this: Healthcare spending accounts, such as Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), help individuals and families pay for medical expenses. They also provide more control over how and where to pay for those expenses. One frequently asked question is “ can a person have both an HRA and HSA at the same time? ”. The answer is yes – you can have an HRA and HSA at the same time, under specific circumstances. To understand the advantages of having both accounts, let’s first look at the differences between the two. Health Savings Account An HSA acts like a long-term savings account you can use to pay for qualified health care expenses. You deposit pre-tax money from each paycheck into the account, and then make withdrawals to pay for eligible medical expenses as needed. Your employer can also contribute to the account, but is not required to. Account holders can build up their HSAs by earning tax-free interest on the account balance and tax-free returns from investing their funds."

The funds in a Health Savings Account can be used to pay all eligible medical related expenses that are not covered by your Health Insurance Plan. Health S avings Account (HSA) Contribution Limits Initially, Health Savings Account contributions were limited to the lesser of the actual deductible or specified IRS limits. Congress later eliminated the deductible based limit and set guidelines to limit maximum contributions. These contribution limits are according to IRS Publication 969, \"\"Health Savings Accounts and Other Tax-Favored Health Plans\"\". You can make HSA contributions for any calendar year until April 15 of the following calendar year, (or the date your personal taxes are due), the same as IRA contributions. 2014 HSA Contribution Limits Rise Slightly From 2013.

I’ve been on a big HSA kick, since I made the move to an HDHP, but I wanted to refresh my picks for the best HSA account. Why are HSA’s so great? Tax-free (pre-tax) contributions and withdrawals for qualified medical expenses, employer contributions, and growth through investments. HSA account contributions fully roll over from year-to-year (unlike FSA’s). HSA’s are portable, meaning you can take them with you from one employer to another or to self-employment. YOU are the owner of your HSA account and your employer can’t take the funds away from you. You can withdraw funds from HSA accounts in retirement like an IRA, without penalty and for any reason, starting at age 65. HSA’s don’t have required minimum distributions at retirement age. The challenge with HSA’s, however, is that a lot of the big name financial players aren’t in the HSA space."

"text": "Rules and Best Practices when Spouses are Both HSA Eligible There are several things you should be aware of if both you and your spouse are interested in selecting a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) in your respective workplaces and making contributions to a Health Savings Account (HSA). One would assume, as a lot of married couples do, that each of you can each contribute up to your respective IRS contribution limit as determined by your coverage. For example, let’s say one of you has self-only coverage and the other one has family coverage. The self-only contribution limit ($3,400) plus the family contribution limit ($6,750) should make your combined contribution limit $10,150, right? Wrong. The contribution limit is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the IRS views spouses as one tax unit, even if filing as “married filing separately,” so if either spouse is eligible for a family contribution limit, that is intended to cover both spouses. The IRS suggests that the family limit be split evenly between the spouses, unless a separate allocation is desired. Therefore, if: Both spouses select a HDHP and each insures one child, each of their coverage is considered family coverage, then the couple will have to share one family HSA contribution limit which is $6,750 for 2017. Both spouses select a HDHP and one is insured as self-only and the other one selects family coverage to include the children, then both will share the family HSA contribution limit which is $6,750 for 2017. Both spouses select an HDHP and self-only coverage, then they each will have a single HSA contribution limit of $3,400 for 2017."

(Bill) Stuart Director of Strategy and Compliance Benefit Strategies LLCJuly is a popular month to begin a new medical benefit year. A growing number of employers are offering HSA-qualified medical plans, and often their benefit years start on a date other than January 1. In this paper, we focus on how much individuals can contribute to their HSAs when their eligibility to contribute begins or ends mid-year. This can occur due to: Their new plan starts mid-year They become HSA-eligible mid-year under other circumstances (such as new hires or individuals ending coverage under a traditional Health FSA)They lose HSA eligibility during the year (such as no longer being enrolled in a HSA-qualified medical plan or enrolling in Medicare)The general rules The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sets annual contribution limits, with separate limits for Self-only and Family coverage. ( Note: Family coverage includes any policy that covers more than one individual, even if the employer has established additional rating tiers such as Employee+1, Employee+Spouse or Employee+Child.) The maximum calendar-year contribution limits from all sources, including employer, are: Self-only: $3,350 in 2016 and $3,400 in 2017Family: $6,750 in both 2016 and 2017In addition, individuals who are age 55 or older at any point during the year can contribute an extra $1,000 catch-up contribution. Spouses who are age 55 or older and HSA-eligible can make a catch-up contribution into their own HSA, even though they’re not the medical plan subscriber. The annual contribution limit is tracked on the calendar year, regardless of when coverage begins. Individuals must be HSA-eligible on the first day of all 12 months of a calendar year to make the maximum contribution with no follow-up compliance (a concept that will become clearer in a moment)."

Anything over $1,000 and I would definitely want to have a receipt. Those 18-wheel trailers are often unattended, but you can drop off goods 24/7/365 and wouldn't receive a receipt, so it's not uncommon at all not to not have written proof. Worst case scenario if you deducted an amount such as that is that you'd be forced to remove the deduction if you were audited and couldn't provide a receipt, but the odds of being audited AND being forced to remove the charitable deduction are probably about a million to one.

Yes Noedenney015 years ago8 comments Realistically, you sign your return with an affirmation that everything in the return is true, complete and correct to the best of your knowledge. If you include a donation that you know is not true, the word for that is \"\"fraud\"\". Once the IRS has determined that you have commited this fraud, they will tear the rest of return apart limb from limb on the assumption that if you are willing to lie about this, you will lie about other things too. And then they'll open up prior years looking for more issues."

Donations to qualified charities are considered tax deductible expenses so they can reduce your taxable income, lowering your tax bill. Not everyone can deduct their charitable contributions, however. You must itemize your tax deductions to claim any charitable donation, and this is typically only in your best interest if the total of all your itemized deductions exceeds the amount of the standard deduction you would receive for your filing status. How to Claim a Deduction for Charitable Donations You claim a tax deduction for charitable giving on Schedule A of Form 1040. The schedule isn't just for claiming charitable donations. It includes and calculates all itemized deductions you're eligible to claim so you can transfer the total to your tax return in lieu of the standard deduction. Other possible itemized deductions include things like medical and dental expenses you paid for yourself or your dependents over the course of the year — including insurance premiums — as well as other taxes you may have paid and home mortgage interest.

Charitable donations go on line 40 of your Form 1040 tax return along with all your other itemized deductions. That’s the easy part. What you have to do to get to the number you enter on line 40 will take a little more work. You Must Itemize to Claim Donations If you look at line 40 on your tax return, you’ll see that it asks you to enter your “itemized deductions or your standard deduction.” You have a choice to make, because you can’t take both. You’ll want to take the option that amounts to more. For many people, the standard deduction for their filing status is greater than the total of all their itemized deductions, so taking the standard deduction is the better deal. It reduces their taxable income the most. But the only way to claim a deduction for charitable donations is to itemize."

My wife, on two occasions last year, took bags of clothes to Goodwill. Of course she doesnt bother to get a receipt. I didn't care too much since I figured the \"\"worth\"\" of the clothes was negligible and wouldnt add up to but a few dollars off our taxes and might flag us for an audit (nothing to hide, just don't want the hassle). However yesterday I was browsing through software at the store, and see a $20 program for assigning values to contributions using the IRS's own guidelines. Looking at some examples on the box it looks like I have totally undervalued what I can claim as a donation. I looked at the 1040, and the instructions say that each individual contribution under $250 does not require any special forms. This software says it will give you a receipt that can be used for tax purposes of the individual items you claim to donate. Since all they give you at goodwill is a blank piece of paper to make your own receipt, is this valid for tax purposes? If I get audited and I don't have an actual receipt from Goodwill will my deduction be disallowed, and then have to pay interest on the amount owed?"

However, when the pieces started to arrive, I quickly realized that much of my older furniture had to go. At first, I planned to sell on Craigslist or run some e Bay auctions, but in the end, I decided to donate the furniture to a local charity. If you donate your unwanted furniture to charity, you can deduct the donation from your taxes at the end of the year. This can add up to a sizable write-off, even if you do not have many pieces to donate. For each piece of furniture you donate, you can deduct the current fair market value from your taxes. To make this process easier, the Salvation Army has a Donation Valuation Guide to help you determine the fair market value for your furniture. The guide has a low and high range for furnishings. Select fair and reasonable prices within this range to ensure the accuracy of your tax write-offs. Several national charities will pick up furniture donations from your house, or you can take your furniture to a smaller nonprofit organization in your area."

In fact, if you're not careful, you can wind up with less than half of the purchase price in your pocket, after all taxes are paid! However, with skillful planning it's possible to minimize or defer at least some of these taxes. You will be taxed on the profit you make from selling the business. You may be able to control the timing through the terms of the deal, but the IRS will take its share at some point. The amount of tax that you will ultimately have to pay depends upon whether the money you make from the sale is taxed as ordinary income or capital gains. Profit received from the sale of the business assets will most likely be taxed at capital gains rates, whereas amount you receive under a consulting agreement will be ordinary income. Allocation of Sales Price Governs Tax Consequences If you negotiate a total price for the business, you and the buyer must agree as to what portion of the purchase price applies to each individual asset, and to intangible assets such as goodwill. The allocation will determine the amount of capital or ordinary income tax you must pay on the sale."

Part 1From a buyer’s perspective, the purchase price of a dental practice is not always what one may think. The money paid for the acquisition is only the beginning of the determination of what the actual cost is. It is easy to think in terms of an interest charge being added to the purchase price as an additional cost, but there are other ingredients to consider when paying the amount agreed upon and the determination of how those funds are reflected on the books of a buyer. An issue in an acquisition that is typically not addressed is the “after tax cost” that the purchaser pays, and how that charge can increase the purchase price. The actual cost to a buyer is the amount the buyer pays after reporting his or her income, paying the tax on that income and then paying the lender back for the funds used to acquire the dental practice. Example of the After Tax Cost Let’s illustrate the cost of a dental practice to a buyer using after tax dollars and see what the amount becomes once an agreement on the purchase price has been determined. We’ll use a purchase price of $500,000. The buyer can arrange financing for the acquisition and typically the seller will attempt to insist on the sale being allocated as a capital gain."

With that in mind, you might be wondering how much money or property the average person of your income level gives each year. Here's a breakdown of Americans' charitable giving, and why this information is important to know. Average charitable donations by income The short answer is that the average itemized tax return includes $4,790 in charitable deductions, but that doesn't tell the entire story. First, not everyone who donates to charity can use the charitable deduction. To get the tax break, you need to itemize deductions on your tax return. If you take the standard deduction, you cannot deduct your charitable contributions. Since about three-fourths of tax returns take the standard deduction, it's fair to say that there are a lot of donations that go unclaimed for tax purposes.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Political donations in Australia)navigation search Political funding in Australia deals with political donations, public funding and other forms of funding received by politician or political party in Australia to pay for an election campaign. In Australia, the majority of political donations come in the form of donations from corporations, [1] which go towards the funding of the parties' election advertising campaigns. Donations and affiliation fees from trade unions also play a big role, and to a lesser extent donations from individuals. Donations occasionally take the form of non-cash donations, referred to as gifts-in-kind. The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) monitors donations to political parties, and publishes a yearly list of political donors. [ 2] In practice, it is not difficult for donors to make undisclosed donations to political parties in Australia; [3] for example, donors can sometimes hide their identities behind associated entities.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from 2013 IRS scandal)navigation search\"\"IRS scandal\"\" redirects here. For other scandals involving the IRS, see List of Internal Revenue Service political profiling controversies. In 2013, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) revealed that it had selected political groups applying for tax-exempt status for intensive scrutiny based on their names or political themes. This led to wide condemnation of the agency and triggered several investigations, including a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal probe ordered by United States Attorney General Eric Holder. Initial reports described the selections as nearly exclusively of conservative groups with terms such as \"\"Tea Party\"\" in their names. According to Republican lawmakers, liberal-leaning groups and the Occupy movement had also triggered additional scrutiny, but at a lower rate than conservative groups. The Republican majority on the House Oversight Committee issued a report, which concluded that although some liberal groups were selected for additional review, the scrutiny that these groups received did not amount to targeting when compared to the greater scrutiny received by conservative groups. The report was criticized by the committee's Democratic minority, which said that the report ignored evidence that the IRS used keywords to identify both liberal and conservative groups. In January 2014, James Comey, who at the time was the FBI director, told Fox News that its investigation had found no evidence so far warranting the filing of federal criminal charges in connection with the controversy, as it had not found any evidence of \"\"enemy hunting\"\", and that the investigation continued. On October 23, 2015, the Justice Department declared that no criminal charges would be filed."

"text": "Taxes Tax Filing 101The Tax Deduction for Charitable Donations Rules and Guidelines for Deducting Charitable Contributions Share Flip Pin Email•••By William Perez Updated February 24, 2018Even the Internal Revenue Service thinks it's better to give than to receive — at least the IRS gives you a tax break for giving. Donations to qualified charities are considered tax deductible expenses so they can reduce your taxable income, lowering your tax bill. Not everyone can deduct their charitable contributions, however. You must itemize your tax deductions to claim any charitable donation, and this is typically only in your best interest if the total of all your itemized deductions exceeds the amount of the standard deduction you would receive for your filing status. How to Claim a Deduction for Charitable Donations You claim a tax deduction for charitable giving on Schedule A of Form 1040. The schedule isn't just for claiming charitable donations. It includes and calculates all itemized deductions you're eligible to claim so you can transfer the total to your tax return in lieu of the standard deduction. Other possible itemized deductions include things like medical and dental expenses you paid for yourself or your dependents over the course of the year — including insurance premiums — as well as other taxes you may have paid and home mortgage interest. Rules for Claiming the Charitable Contribution Deduction The IRS imposes several rules for claiming a deduction for charitable contributions: You must actually donate cash or property. A pledge or promise to donate is not deductible until you actually pay."

"text": "\"Politics Republican Plan Delivers Permanent Corporate Tax Cut By JIM TANKERSLEY, THOMAS KAPLAN and ALAN RAPPEPORT NOV. 2, 20172279Representative Kevin Brady, Republican of Texas and the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, on Thursday in Washington. Al Drago for The New York Times WASHINGTON — Republican lawmakers unveiled a sweeping rewrite of the tax code on Thursday, outlining a $1.5 trillion plan that will deliver a significant tax cut for corporations and more modest savings for middle-class families while tilting the United States closer, but not entirely, toward the kind of tax system long championed by businesses. The House plan, released after weeks of internal debate, conflict and delay, immediately ignited a legislative and lobbying fight as business groups, special interests and Democrats began tearing into the text ahead of a Republican sprint to get the legislation passed and to President Trump’s desk by Christmas. Lawmakers appeared unfazed by the blowback and scheduled the first official “markup” of the bill for Monday. “With this plan, we are making pro-growth reforms, so that yes, America can compete with the rest of the world,” said Speaker Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin. The bill is heavily weighted toward business, which would receive about $1 trillion in net cuts, or two-thirds of the total, according to calculations by the Joint Committee on Taxation. At its center is a proposal to permanently cut the corporate tax rate to 20 percent from 35 percent — a change that is estimated to reduce federal revenues by $1.5 trillion over the next decade alone. For individuals, the plan establishes three tax brackets — 12, 25 and 35 percent — instead of the seven that exist now and maintains a top rate of 39.6 percent for millionaires. The bill would also eliminate the alternative minimum tax, which is expected to hit 4.5 million families in 2017, and would roughly double the standard deduction for middle-class families."

The law mandated that nearly every resident of Massachusetts obtain a minimum level of insurance coverage, provided free health care insurance for residents earning less than 150% of the federal poverty level (FPL) [1] and mandated employers with more than 10 \"\"full-time\"\" employees to provide healthcare insurance. The law was amended significantly in 2008 and twice in 2010 to make it consistent with the federal Affordable Care Act. Major revisions related to health care industry price controls were passed in August 2012, and the employer mandate was repealed in 2013 in favor of the federal mandate (even though enforcement of the federal mandate was delayed until January 2015). [ 2] Because Mitt Romney was the governor of Massachusetts at the time, the law has colloquially been called Romneycare, a reference to the nicknaming of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as \"\" Obamacare \"\". [ 3]Among its many effects, the law established an independent public authority, the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority, also known as the Massachusetts Health Connector. The Connector acts as an insurance broker to offer free, highly subsidized and full-price private insurance plans to residents, including through its web site. As such it is one of the models of the Affordable Care Act's health insurance exchanges. The 2006 Massachusetts law successfully covered approximately two-thirds of the state's then-uninsured residents, half via federal-government-paid-for Medicaid expansion (administered by Mass Health) and half via the Connector's free and subsidized network-tiered health care insurance for those not eligible for expanded Medicaid. Relatively few Massachusetts residents used the Connector to buy full-priced insurance."

"text": "The NRA’s brazen shell game with donations: A Yahoo News investigation Yahoo Politics • April 21, 2015 (Yahoo News Photo Illustration/APGraphic/Getty Images)Early last summer I began making contributions to the National Rifle Association — a dollar here, a dollar there — to see where my money would end up. Some of it quickly found its way into the account of the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund, the NRA’s political action committee. And that was of no small interest, because I never knowingly contributed to the NRA-PVF. For me, this wasn’t a big problem; my contributions were a spit in the bucket for an organization that spent $37 million on the 2014 elections and operates on an annual budget of more than a quarter of a billion dollars. But my contributions and others like them may be a big problem for the NRA because, according to some of the nation’s top experts on federal election law, they are all illegal. The issue is not just that my donations ended up in a political fund account, but the way the NRA solicited them — and presumably those of thousands of others. In fact, each of these transactions almost certainly violated multiple provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) and a legion of state and federal antifraud statutes designed to protect the public from phony charities and false or misleading solicitations. The FECA makes a hard distinction between solicitations for elections and other solicitations, in part because many Americans don’t like donating to politicians. An NRA member might contribute to the organization because she admires its work on behalf of hunters. She might also contribute to an environmental group because she wants to preserve forests."

"text": "From left, Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, Senate Finance ranking member Ron Wyden, Senate Finance Chairman Orrin G. Hatch and Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley participate in the committee markup of the Senate GOP’s tax bill Wednesday. ( Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)Trouble signs emerged Wednesday for the Republican tax overhaul effort, even as the Senate Finance Committee crept closer — slowly, and sometimes painfully — toward approving its bill later this week. The top tax writers on each side forecast long hours still ahead. “ Tomorrow, we are going to be here a while,” Sen. Ron Wyden, the Finance panel’s ranking member, said Wednesday. Finance Chairman Orrin G. Hatch said he’d “like to finish by tomorrow, but if we can’t, we’ll go into Friday. ”The committee was set to reconvene at 10 a.m. Thursday. As President Donald Trump prepares to visit Capitol Hill Thursday to rally the House GOP behind that chamber’s tax bill, which is expected to pass later in the day, the Senate tax plan encountered an unexpected headwind. Republican Sen. Ron Johnson announced he would oppose the tax plan in its current form, saying it was not generous enough to “pass-through” businesses whose owners pay taxes on their individual returns. Johnson, a former executive of a Wisconsin plastics company structured as a limited liability company, said tax cuts for such pass-through entities were dwarfed by benefits for large publicly traded corporations, which would see their tax rate slashed from 35 percent to 20 percent. Watch: Hatch Asks Finance Committee to ‘Talk Like Gentlemen’Senate Republican leaders can only afford to lose two votes on their side, as no Democrats are expected to support the measure."

"text": "Home / Learn the Issues / Legislation State-based retirement plans for the private sector States around the country are looking into ways of using the efficiencies of public retirement systems to administer new types of pension plans for private-sector workers. Below are brief summaries of plans that have either passed or are being considered. States whose names are highlighed below have introduced or enacted legislation to provide retirement plans for private-sector workers. Alabama | Alaska | Arizona |Arkansas | California | Colorado | Connecticut | Delaware | Florida | Georgia | Hawaii | Idaho | Illinois | Indiana | Iowa | Kansas | Kentucky | Louisiana | Maine | Maryland | Massachusetts | Michigan | Minnesota | Mississippi | Missouri | Montana | Nebraska | Nevada | New Hampshire | New Jersey | New Mexico | New York | North Carolina | North Dakota | Ohio | Oklahoma | Oregon | Pennsylvania | Rhode Island | South Carolina | South Dakota | Tennessee | Texas | Utah | Vermont | Virginia | Washington | West Virginia | Wisconsin | Wyoming In addition to the below summaries, AARP’s Public Policy Institute has established a State Retirement Savings Resource Center, a library of policy papers, key facts, opinion pieces, and studies related to state-based plans for private-sector workers. The Pension Rights Center authored two papers -- one on consumer protections in such plans and one on the advantages of pooled accounts. In September 2015, the Government Accountability Office published a report, Federal Action Could Help State Efforts to Expand Private Sector Coverage, which looks at coverage rates, efforts by states and other countries to expand coverage, and the obstacles states face in implementing new state-based plans. Arizona On January 22, 2014, Rep. Martin Quezada introduced HB 2063, the Arizona Secure Choice Retirement Savings Program, a mandatory system of payroll deposit individual retirement savings arrangements (IRAs) for private employers in Arizona that have five or more employees and that do not offer other retirement plans to their workers. The bill was assigned to the House Appropriations and Rules Committees, and no further action was taken in the 2013-2014 legislative session. California On September 28, 2012, Governor Jerry Brown signed into law S. B. 1234, the California Secure Choice Retirement Savings Trust Act. The bill, which was sponsored by Senator Kevin de Leόn, will eventually require that all businesses with five or more employees that do not already offer a retirement plan enroll their workers in a new type of savings plan based on IRAs."

Whether you're looking for a red, green or purple parrot, this bird species offers plenty of variety. But brightly colored plumage isn't the only trait that a prospective parrot owner should consider before adoption.01of 10Eclectus Parrots JH Pete Carmichael/The Image Bank/Getty Images The Eclectus parrot is one of the few sexually dimorphic parrot species, meaning the females and males look distinctly different from each other. Males display a rich green color with red accents, while the females have red and purple feathers. As with all parrots, Eclectus parrots need special care and attention in order to thrive.02of 10Sun Conures Note the many different colors that this bird displays. This feature makes the Sun Conure one of the most popular breeds of pet bird. Alyson Burgess Sun Conure parrots have nearly the entire rainbow on their bodies, with red, yellow and orange on their heads, chests, and wings, and green and blue tail and flight feathers. They're also among the loudest parrot species around, so before adopting a Sun Conure, make sure you can handle the noise.03of 10Scarlet Macaws Edd Lange / Eye Em / Getty Images Scarlet Macaws are big, beautiful parrots with red, yellow, and blue feathers, and can be tempting for someone looking for a pet parrot. But it's important to consider more than their striking looks. These are large birds that require a great deal of space, time and attention."

The nanday conure has a black head, and the upper part of the breast and throat are rich blue. A nanday conure's natural range is from the provinces of Formosa, Chaco, and Santa Fe in Argentina, to Mato Grosso in Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. This bundle of colored feathers is a visual treat both in the wild and in your house. Unlike most conures, the nanday conure is a hardy bird.

"text": "Method1 Using region1 Consider the region where the bird was spotted. This can assist greatly in its identification. Each continent has its own array of species of parrots, and of course each type of bird lives within certain regions on a continent. Take note of where the bird was spotted, being as specific as possible, and compare that region to what you know about where different kinds of parrots live. Some species are found in places where they are not native, having been imported or otherwise introduced to these areas. Consider this possibility before you rely on location as a means of identifying a parrot, and ask a local expert if you think this might be the case.2 Know the parrots of South America. This continent is home to the majority of macaws, conures, Pionus parrots, 'typical' parrots, some hanging parrots, parrotlets, amazon parrots, and the atypical hawk headed and Quaker parrots.3 Study the birds of Africa. Africa is inhabited fairly sparsely with the well known African Grey parrot, along with all of the lovebirds, all of the Poicephalus parrots, and the black or Vasa parrots (from Madagascar). There is also the African ringneck, Africa's only member of the psittacula genus.4 Understand that Asia is populated by parrots south of the Himalayas. The resident species include the Psittacula parakeets and hanging parrots."

Conures are comfortable hanging upside-down or parading around while dancing. These antics win fans, because smiles just naturally occur during these performance sessions.

They are not room decor. They are not an “easy pet. ”They are also intelligent and highly sensitive, and are for people willing to make a commitment to a pet that might well last your entire lifetime. They are noisy. They need your attention to replace the socialization of their flock mates or they’ll go insane. They make messes with their food, by destroying their toys, and pooping. They are as intelligent as a four year old child, and you must fit your life around them. And before you even consider buying a parrot, do your homework, and that should start by volunteering at least 40 hours at a parrot rescue or sanctuary, so you know exactly what you’re going to be getting into if you get a parrot. If all you want is something pretty for the living room, buy a nice tank of fish."

Photos of the Different Conure Species for Identification The Nanday Conure, Nandayus nenday, is a South American parrot that is sometimes grouped with the Aratinga (conure) genus, since they are able to interbreed (hybridize) and produce fertile young with such species as Jendays and Sun Conures. They are expected to live up to 20 years old - provided they receive proper care. Reproductive age is reached when they are about 12 months old. Distribution / Range The Nanday Conure is endemic to southeastern Bolivia, Brazil (southern Mato Grosso), northern Argentina, Chaco Formosa, and central Paraguay. The Nanday is amongst the most commonly kept pet conure species in the United States and maybe worldwide. Caged birds have been released in some areas and these feral birds have established self-sustaining populations in North America with colonies reported in the southern and eastern parts of the United States, such as California (Los Angeles), Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale). Small numbers of feral Nandays have also established themselves in Canada as well as in Buenos Aires in Argentina (South America). Description: Mature birds average 310 - 320 mm (or approx 12.5 - 13 inches) in length and weigh between 140 - 147 g (~ 4.9 - 5.2 ounces. Nandays have a distinctive black head, and wings and tails tipped with dark blue feathers. They have a light-blue scarf of differing intensity, as well as bright orange feathers on their legs and around their vents."

"text": "\"Bird Adoption Parrots & Pet Birds Pets Parrot & Pet Bird Basics The Cost of Purchasing and Caring for a Pet Bird Some pet birds are pricier than others By Alyson Kalhagen Updated 10/23/17Share Pin Email Nataliya Ford / Getty Images How much will it cost to buy the bird you want? It depends on the species, and whether you buy from a professional breeder or another source such as a pet store. Beyond the cost of the bird itself, new owners should budget for things like pellets and other dietary needs such as seeds and fruits, properly-sized cages and even bird-proofed rooms for larger birds to fly around. Depending on the breeder, availability and your location, the cost of your bird may fluctuate outside the given ranges. The list also includes some of the other expenses you should plan for while caring for your new feathered friend. Initial and Ongoing Investment for Bird Care, Food, and Housing In general (depending on the breed), housing, feeding, and caring for a bird is less expensive than caring for a dog or cat. But the costs can rise dramatically depending upon the lifespan of the bird (some birds live as long as people) and your pet's healthcare needs. According to the Kiplinger website, these are the average costs you should budget for if you're considering a parakeet or other non-exotic small bird: First-year cost: $295Annual cost: $185 (plus unforeseen vet costs)Total lifetime cost (avg. lifespan of parakeet: 15-18 years): $2,885 - $3,440Other first-year costs include the cage ($70) and the purchase price, which ranges from $12 to $65 for a parakeet. After the first year, annual costs include food ($75), toys and treats ($25), and routine vet check-ups ($85)."

But there is one distinctive feature that separates the parakeets and parrots (both of the terms being non scientific though). It is their tail. The picture above shows a parakeet’s tail. It is composed of a number of long, ribbon like feathers that fan out during flight. Think, Rose Ringed Parakeets…Or Budgerigars .. Malabar Parakeets …They are all Parakeets. Parrots have a stout, wedge shaped tail that does not fan out in flight. Think Vernal Hanging Parrot, the only species of true parrot in India. Again, this is not a hard and fast rule for nomenclature. This is just a common convention."

The beauty of the features with wonderful colours along with their excellent talkativeness, parrots and parakeets have been producing a great and never ending fascination among people. No one would ever get tired of their nonstop loquaciousness. Parrots Parakeets, Cockatiels, Lovebirds, Lorries, Macaws, Amazons, and Cockatoos are some of the parrot groups. There are more than 370 species of 86 genera of parrots (Order: Psittaciformes). Tropical and subtropical regions have been their preferred climates while, for some species temperate areas have been the home. Parrots are highly diversified group of birds and the highest in South American and next, in Australasia. The strong and curved bill with their slightly leaning upright posture makes them unique. Parrots have zygodactyle feet (two digits directed forward and the other two towards back) which are clawed. They are famed of their contrasting and attractive colours along with the lovable talkativeness."

Retailers' cooperatives are a form of purchasing cooperative. It is often used by government agencies to reduce costs of procurement. Purchasing Cooperatives are used frequently by governmental entities, since they are required to follow laws requiring competitive bidding above certain thresholds. Counties, municipalities, schools, colleges and universities in the majority of states can sign an interlocal agreement or contract that allows them to legally use a contract that was procured by another governmental entity. An example of this is Harris County Department of Education, [1] a governmental organization that created three procurement cooperatives: Choice Facility Partners, a facility services cooperative [2] the Gulf Coast Cooperative, a food cooperative primarily serving schools; and the HCDE Purchasing Cooperative, offering more than 275 vendor contracts for commodities. Schools, colleges and universities, municipalities, counties, municipal utility districts and other governmental entities sign an interlocal contract with HCDE, thus becoming members that can access any of the multitude of competitively bid and legally awarded contracts available in through their cooperatives."

The interpretation of numbers and the wherewithal to place them in the proper context are at the heart of accounting. Standards exist to ensure that accounting decisions are made in a unified and reasonable way. Comparability Paramount to the role of accounting standards is the universality that it brings to financial record keeping. Governmental organizations must follow accounting procedures that are the same as their counterparts, and non-governmental organizations must do the same. The result is that it is easy to compare the financial standing of similar entities. All comparisons within groups are a matter of comparing \"\"apples to apples.\"\" This helps both external and internal observers weigh the state of an entity in the context of other comparable entities. For instance, the financial standing of a town can be measured against a neighboring town with the assumption that the pertinent numbers have been reached in a similar fashion. Transparency Accounting standards are designed to enforce transparency in organizations."

Fund balance and net assets are the difference between fund assets and liabilities reflected on the balance sheet or statement of net assets. Because of the current financial resources measurement focus of governmental funds, fund balance is often considered a measure of available expendable financial resources. This is a particularly important measure in the general fund because it reflects the primary functions of the government and includes both state aid and local tax revenues. The relative amount of unreserved fund balance reflected in the general fund is used by rating agencies as a measure of financial strength of the government. Declines in the amount of unreserved fund balance may signal deterioration in the financial condition of the entity. Governmental fund balances are categorized as follows: Reserved Unreserved Designated Undesignated Reserved Fund Balances Reservations of fund balance should be used in governmental financial reporting to identify the portion that isnot available for appropriation or expenditure (e.g., reserve for inventories, reserve for long-term receivables) and/orlegally earmarked by external parties or entities for a specific future use, that is, a legal restriction on the use of assets (e.g., reserve for encumbrances). The amount and nature of the reservation of fund balance should be disclosed on the face of the financial statements. The description may need to be supplemented by disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. Examples of reservations of fund balance follow: Inventories Debt service Endowments Prepaid items Outstanding encumbrances Construction Federal and state programs The aggregate fund balance in the debt service fund is legally reserved for the payment of bonded indebtedness and is not available for other purposes until all bonded indebtedness is liquidated."

Under section 4980H, the employer shared responsibility provisions, certain employers, called applicable large employers, or ALEs, are required to offer qualifying health coverage to their full-time employees (and their dependents) or potentially be liable for an assessable payment, if at least one full-time employee receives the premium tax credit for coverage in the Marketplace.

Financial Reporting Many businesses and governmental agencies issue financial statements at least once a year. Financial reports provide interested parties information about the issuing entity's financial condition and how it used its assets in the past year. These statements summarize the business's earnings, expenses, assets and liabilities. The three components of financial statements are the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.

( a) The General Assembly finds that while a private entrepreneur may be readily held liable for negligence of his employees within the chosen ambit of his activity, the area within which government has the power to act for the public good has been without limit and, therefore, government did not have the duty to do everything which might have been done. The General Assembly further finds that each governmental entity has financial limitations within which it must exercise authorized power and discretion in determining the extent and nature of its activities. Thus, while total immunity from liability on the part of the government is not desirable, see Mc Call v. Batson, neither should the government be subject to unlimited nor unqualified liability for its actions."

"text": "Liability, Immunity, and Workers’ Compensation Issues in Public Health Emergencies Issue Brief Overview Concerns about potential liabilities regularly arise during emergency response situations. Individual government employees, volunteers, and healthcare providers, as well as entities such as businesses and nonprofit organizations, worry about potential liability for their actions during an emergency. Liability occurs when a person or entity is found to be legally responsible for their actions or their failure to act. Volunteers and others participating in emergency response activities also raise questions about their ability to obtain coverage under state workers’ compensation programs for injuries received while participating in the response. Federal and state statutory protections against liability have been created to address the concerns of volunteers and others involved in emergency response, as well as to ensure that there are adequate numbers of medical, public health, and other individuals and institutions to participate in response efforts. These various laws work together to form a patchwork of liability protections. These protections, however, can be highly dependent on the nature of the services provided by the person (volunteer vs. paid employee) and the extent of protections provided under the program the person is participating in. This issue brief describes some of the possible theories of liability that could arise from emergency response activities and reviews liability protections and workers’ compensation frameworks for individuals and entities. The brief is intended to provide general information on the topics presented and is not intended to provide legal advice. ( Download a printable PDF. )"

"text": "Personal Injury claims following a car accident have a two-year statute of limitations after which your claim will be forever barred from being brought to court. The statute of limitations for property damage resulting from a car accident is three years from the date of accident. If you were involved in an automobile accident with a g overnmental entity, state, local or federal, the statute of limitations is six months from when the motor vehicle accident occurred. If the governmental entity denies the claim, which is often the case, you have six months from the date of denial to file a lawsuit for the personal injury claim against the government entity responsible. Examples of Government entity defendants are city police departments, state highway patrol, municipal trash trucks, public buses, common carriers and other motor vehicles owned by a governmental entity or unit of that entity or operated by a governmental employee who may have caused you injury in a car crash. If a family member was killed in a car accident, then you may have the right to pursue wrongful death claim against the responsible party. A representative of the survivors who suffer damages resulting from the victim’s death can file a wrongful death suit against the responsible party. The same statute of limitations also applies to wrongful death suits caused by an automobile accident. Some governmental entities are immune from wrongful death suits, so it is important to have a car accident attorney experienced in wrongful death claims to handle your case. Just because you can file a lawsuit immediately following your auto accident does not mean that you should."

"text": "\"Your copay for each hospital visit could lower your taxes. Many health insurance plans require copays that vary in size. Even if the individual copays aren't overly high, over the course of the year they can add up. If they end up totaling a large enough amount, you can claim a tax deduction when you file at the end of the year. Qualified Copays Any copay paid for a qualifying medical, dental or vision expense counts toward calculating your medical-expenses deduction. These include your annual checkups, testing, diagnosis, prescription drugs and other treatment or preventative care. For example, if you cut your head and have to go to the emergency room to get stitches, your copay qualifies. Copays you pay for your spouse or dependents also qualify. No Reimbursement If you are later reimbursed for your copay, you can't claim that cost as a tax deduction. For example, if you have a supplemental insurance plan that pays you back for your copays, even though you must pay out-of-pocket when you're at the doctor's office, you can't include that in your deduction."

"text": "Q: How do deductibles, coinsurance, and copays work together? Answered by : Getinsured Staff November 24, 2014Most health insurance plans include a deductible, which is an amount you must pay out-of-pocket for your healthcare before your insurance company begins to kick in for covered healthcare services. In general, you will have to pay the full cost for covered services until you’ve reached your annual deductible, at which point the insurance company will begin to pay its portion of your medical costs. Deductibles can work differently depending on your health insurance plan. Generally, all payments you make for covered healthcare services will count toward your annual deductible, unless the payment is considered a copay. Copays are a fixed amount you pay to see your doctor or a specialist. Specialist, urgent care facility and emergency room copays are generally higher than that of your primary care physician. No matter how many copays you make they generally don’t count toward your deductible and you continue to pay them even after your deductible has been met. Other plans require that your doctor visits be subject to your deductible and coinsurance. If so, then your deductible is the dollar amount you pay for doctor’s visits as well as other healthcare services before your insurance plan begins to pay."

During the course of the plan year, a member with the Blue Options deductible plan may receive care from hospital providers in different tiers. The deductible they are responsible for is determined by the tier of the hospital they choose. All deductible payments, regardless of tier, cross accumulate during the year, minimizing the member's out-of-pocket costs. Scenario 1 In Scenario 1, the member first receives care at an SBT hospital and pays their $500 SBT deductible. They subsequently get an outpatient surgery at a BBT hospital. Because the earlier $500 deductible payment accumulates toward the deductible on all tiers, the member is only responsible for the remaining $1,500 of their $2,000 BBT deductible."

When shopping for a health insurance plan, understanding these terms can help you choose a health insurance plan that will work for you. Deductible, Coinsurance, and Copay: What’s the Difference? Your deductible, coinsurance, and copay are considered out-of-pocket costs. In other words, they are health care expenses that you are responsible for. However, the ways in which they function are much different. A deductible is the total amount that you must pay before your insurance company begins contributing. For instance, if you have an insurance plan with a $2,000 deductible, you will be responsible for 100% of your healthcare costs until those costs reach $2,000. Once your $2,000 deductible is met, your insurance company will begin sharing the costs of your health care services, usually through a copay or coinsurance."

From a payor's perspective, waiving cost-sharing amounts creates two problems. First, payors often contract with providers to pay based in part on the provider's usual charges. The Office of Inspector General (\"\"OIG\"\") has argued that a provider who routinely waives copays is misrepresenting its actual charges. Second, and more importantly, payors require copays to discourage overutilization and reduce costs. Waiving copays and deductibles removes the disincentive for utilization, thereby potentially increasing payor costs. Accordingly, federal and state laws as well as payor contracts generally prohibit waiving cost-sharing absent genuine financial hardship. Federal Programs.

"text": "WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COPAYS, DEDUCTIBLES AND COINSURANCEUnderstanding health care can be confusing. That’s why it’s helpful to know the meaning of commonly used terms such as copays, deductibles, and coinsurance. Knowing these important terms may help you understand when and how much you need to pay for your health care. Let’s take a look at these three terms to better understand what they mean, how they work together, and how they are different. Watch our video to learn more: COPAYSWhat is a copay? A copay (or copayment) is a flat fee that you pay on the spot each time you go to your doctor or fill a prescription. Let’s say you hurt your back and go see your doctor. Or you need a refill of your child’s asthma medicine. The amount you pay for that visit or medicine is your copay. Your copay amount is printed right on your insurance card."

This plan is a HMO, meaning you will have to stay within the insurance company’s network, and will need to see a primary care doctor first and get a referral in order to see a specialist. ( Read more about HMOs. ) This plan is a Bronze metal level plan, which generally has a lower monthly cost but higher annual deductible (and co-pay), and provides basic insurance coverage for people who do not spend regularly on health care (i.e., doctors, prescription drugs, etc.). Deductible amount of $6,650. A deductible is the amount of healthcare costs you will pay on your own each year before the insurance company.

For most seniors, Medicare costs are relatively low, much lower than you might pay for an individual health plan on the private marketplace. That’s the point of Medicare, to help seniors afford medical care, hospital coverage and prescription drugs as they age. Since 1965, the program has been serving a unique purpose in the lives of millions of Americans. For 2017, costs are rising as they normally do, with bigger changes for those in a higher income bracket. Whether you’re new to the program or you want more information on switching coverage, here are the costs that you can expect this year. Medicare Part AUnder traditional Medicare, Part A covers hospital care. This portion alone counts as minimum essential coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Most recipients do not pay a premium for Part A coverage because this portion is funded through work-based taxes that you pay throughout your working life. If you’ve accumulated 40 quarter credits (and most people do), then you can enroll in Part A for free."

"text": "A AWhat's the difference between a deductible and an out-of-pocket limit? You need to know to make a smart plan choice Published: December 06, 2013 08:41 PMThe other day I was talking with a young self-employed makeup artist who was shopping for insurance on DC Health Link, the insurance marketplace for Washington, D. C. She was unhappy with her choices. “ I was looking at a Gold plan and it had a deductible of $6,000,” she said. “ I might as well not have insurance at all. ”Actually, no Gold plan could possibly have a $6,000 deductible, as I’ll explain in a minute, but the plan almost certainly had a $6,000 out-of-pocket limit. Like many if not most people shopping for insurance on their own, the makeup artist didn’t know the difference. But there is a difference, a big one, and you need to understand it in order to make an intelligent choice of insurance plan. Here’s my FAQ on the subject: What’s a deductible? It’s the amount you have to pay out of your own pocket before your health plan’s benefits kick in. If, for instance, you buy a plan with a $2,500 deductible, you will pay for the first $2,500 of your medical expenses yourself."

"text": "\"Business & Finance Insurance Is it illegal to \"\"write off\"\" health insurance copays and deductibles? I work for a professional office where a patient inquired if we can write off his/her copay. Can anyone provide documentation stating if this is legal or not? I appreciate your thoughts in advance.2 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: There are three words that people often misunderstand and misuse. They are: co-pay (ment), coinsurance, and deductible. A deductible is the amount a person MUST PAY before their insurance will begin processing claims for payment in any given year. The amount is applied to the first claim (s) that are received during the year, and the patient must make payment to the provider of service whenever an amount is applied to their deductible. Co-insurance is the amount that the insurance company does not pay, after the deductible has been met. Typically, the insurance will pay 80% of the allowable amount, and the insured member is responsible for the other 20%. Both of these concepts, deductible and co-insurance, are cost share obligations under a traditional indemnity, or fee-for-service health insurance plan."

Guidelines This modifier is effective for dates of service on or after January 1, 2011Submit this modifier with the appropriate CPT code for colonoscopy, flexible Sigmoidoscopy, or barium enema when the service is initiated as a colorectal cancer screening service but becomes a diagnostic service This modifier is valid for CPT codes 10000-69999The Part B deductible and coinsurance do not apply to these services Medicare CRC Screening: Diagnostic Modifier-PTModifier-PT (CRC screening test, converted to diagnostic test or other procedure) to the diagnostic procedure code that is reported instead of the screening colonoscopy or screening flexible sigmoidoscopy HCPCS code, or as a result of the barium enema when the screening test becomes a diagnostic service. The claims processing system would respond to the modifier by waiving the deductible for all surgical services on the same date as the diagnostic test. Coinsurance for Medicare beneficiaries would continue to apply to the diagnostic test and to other services furnished in connection with, as a result of, and in the same clinical encounter as the screening test. New Modifier Impacts Coding of Colonoscopy Claims Effective January 1, 2011, for professional claims, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem) recognizes the new modifier PT, which indicates that a colorectal cancer screening test was converted to a diagnostic test or other procedure. This modifier was created to aid compliance with the new health care reform law (the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Actor “PPACA”) which prohibits member cost sharing for defined preventive services for nongrandfathered policies. The appropriate use of modifier PT will reduce claim adjustments related to colorectal screenings and your corresponding refunds to members. The following information shares important guidance about billing this new modifier. To determine the appropriate use of modifier PT, it is important to ask yourself, “Why is this individual presenting to the office?”In a situation where an individual presents solely for the purpose of a screening exam, without any signs or symptoms of a disease, then such a procedure should be considered a screening. The appropriate use of diagnosis codes and screening procedure codes is valuable in ensuring appropriate adjudication of the claim."

Thus, two line are coplanar, if and only if they are either parallel or intersecting. Lines in three dimensional space are coplanar, only if they are not skewed lines. Two lines which are neither parallel nor intersecting are called skewed lines. Two skew lines are always non coplanar. Three distinct points are always said to be coplanar. However, when a fourth point is added or more points are added in the space, they can exist in some other plane. Three vectors are coplanar, if one of them can be expressed as a linear combination of the other two. If , , are three non zero and non coplanar vectors and x, y, z are scalars then x + y + z = only if x = y = z = 0The following figure will explain you the co-planar points in a plane."

Wen, check out his picture in our Microwave Hall of Fame! It was invented when Wen was at RCA's Sarnoff Laboratories in New Jersey, way back in 1969, just two years after the Summer of Love... Dr. Wen now lives in Beijing, and continues to pass on his considerable knowledge to microwave engineering students, and he has corresponded with Microwaves101 on the topic of CPW (how's that for name dropping?)C. P. Wen explains that his original name for coplanar waveguide was \"\"planar strip line\"\". A co-worker, Lou Napoli suggested the name coplanar waveguide. Thus with Lou's suggestion, CPW invented CPW!Types of coplanar waveguide\"\"Classic\"\" coplanar waveguide (CPW) is formed from a conductor separated from a pair of groundplanes, all on the same plane, atop a dielectric medium. In the ideal case, the thickness of the dielectric is infinite; in practice, it is thick enough so that EM fields die out before they get out of the substrate. A variant of coplanar waveguide is formed when a ground plane is provided on the opposite side of the dielectric, which is called finite ground-plane coplanar waveguide (FGCPW), or more simply, grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW). The advantages of coplanar waveguide are that active devices can be mounted on top of the circuit, like on microstrip. More importantly, it can provide extremely high frequency response (100 GHz or more) since connecting to CPW does not entail any parasitic discontinuities in the ground plane."

Specifically, the notation of forming the composition of functions is identical to that used here. Also, the restrictions on functions to guarantee their inverse is a function can perhaps be best seen when treated as mappings. The alternative is to adopt something like SAS triangle congruence (see chapter 7) as an axiom. Either will be at the heart of a proof of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem (then base angles are equal) or its converse (then sides are equal) known as Pons Asinorum, which is Latin for bridge of fools (or asses).

"text": "Math Geometry Q: What Are Non-Coplanar Points in a Plane? A: Quick Answer Non-coplanar points are any group of points that do not lie along the same geometrical plane. Points are considered coplanar if they lie along the same plane, and are often used to name that plane (e.g. plane ABCD). If a point E does not lie on plane ABCD, point E is non-coplanar with the other points. Points A, B, C and D are coplanar. Continue Reading Keep Learning What Is a Coordinate Proof? Who Invented the Cartesian Plane? What Are Two Different Ways to Name a Plane? Full Answer While an individual point has no characteristics, when grouped, points can become collinear, non-collinear, coplanar, or non-coplanar. Any two points have a line that runs through them, and are therefore automatically collinear."

Part of a series on Graphical projection Planar [show]Views [show]Topics [show]v t e Oblique projection is a simple type of technical drawing of graphical projection used for producing two-dimensional images of three-dimensional objects. The objects are not in perspective, so they do not correspond to any view of an object that can be obtained in practice, but the technique does yield somewhat convincing and useful images. Oblique projection is commonly used in technical drawing. The cavalier projection was used by French military artists in the 18th century to depict fortifications. Oblique projection was used almost universally by Chinese artists from the first or second centuries to the 18th century, especially when depicting rectilinear objects such as houses. ["

A simple example of a pair of skew lines is the pair of lines through opposite edges of a regular tetrahedron.

Sponsored links About Copper Chef Copper Chef is a square copper-colored pan which is said to be able to go from the stove top to the oven to the table. It features a deep, square design, which supposedly allows more flexibility than standard sized pans, along with the ability to hold more food than others dishes of a similar size. You’ll sometimes see the product referred to as “Copper Chef” while other times you’ll see it referred to as the Copper Chef Square Pan, or simply the Copper Chef Pan. These are all used interchangeably, although it appears that additional products under the Copper Chef brand will be forthcoming, meaning that the word “pan” may soon need required when describing this particular product. There are multiple domains which have been used to advertise Copper Chef. As of this February 2016 writing, the primary domain used in advertising is copperchef.com, which was registered back in February 2007. Although the domain dates back several years, according to the Internet Archive, the pan featured here was not shown on the website until very recently – and it was parked as recently as a couple of years ago. Some versions of the commercials feature the domain copperchefpan.com, which was registered in October 2015."

By MICHELE KAYALand ALISON LADMANThe Associated Press Add salmon to the long list of foods Americans have mostly lost touch with in terms of seasonality. It’s an understandable lapse. After all, salmon certainly seems to be available all year. And indeed, farmed Atlantic salmon is available fresh all year. Even wild species are available pretty much whenever a hankering strikes, albeit mostly frozen and canned. But wild salmon at its peak — about 90 percent of which comes from Alaska — indeed has a season.

Napoleon pastry (nuh-POH-lee-uhn) – It is known as mille-feuilles in France. Outside of France it is known as “Napoleon.” It consists of layers of puff pastry interspersed with pastry cream or whipped cream and iced with fondant and chocolate or with confectioner’s sugar. History: (1) It is believed to have been developed in France during the latter part of the 19th century. The Danish people have been told for generations that a Danish royal pastry chef invented the dessert way back in the 1800s on the occasion of a state visit between the Emperor Napoleon and the King of Denmark, in Copenhagen. Some sources believe that the chocolate lines on the pastry appear to form the letter “N” for Napoleon. ("

"text": "The Best (and Worst) Cookware Materialson June 22, 2012 by Chris Kresser 207 comments Facebook 59 Tweet Pin 3 Google+Image Credit: Penny De Los Santos With the wide range of cookware available on the market today, it is easy to see why consumers may be confused about which materials to look for. I am frequently asked about my opinion on various cookware materials, particularly regarding their safety and potential toxicity. In addition to the health issues with various cookware, there are also differences in quality, durability, and ease of use that may influence your decision on what type of material to use. With all these different factors in mind, choosing the best cookware can be challenging. While many popular brands and styles of pots and pans are perfectly safe and versatile in their uses, there are a few types that may pose health risks if used regularly. In this article, I will clear up any confusion about which types of pots and pans are safest and easiest to use for all types of cooking. The following are my picks for the three best and three worst types of cookware. Best Materials Enamel Enamel cookware is ideal for dishes where heat retention and balance are required. The best quality can be found in enameled cast iron, but enameled ceramic or steel are other great choices. It is one of the safest types of cookware that comes close to a non-stick surface, making it easy to use and clean up after cooking."

There is scarcely a better example of highly refined (and extremely manipulative) advertising techniques than those as-seen-on-tv ads. What to Expect I’m not singling out the “as seen on TV’ advertisements as the only culpable party in making puffed-up claims about grill mats. We’ve seen it everywhere online and offline these days. We’re all just trying to make a living by selling things to each other, and I guess we get a bit carried away sometimes. BBQ Grill Mat Review tactics Every other BBQ grill mat review I’ve seen online tended to focus on a single brand-name, with the ultimate aim (kind of obvious) of selling that specific mat. I’d like to take a different approach with this one – a more generalized approach. I’m going to sort through the myths, claims, hype and facts in this bbq grill mat review, and I promise you that by the end, you’ll know how to select and purchase a grill mat that’s perfect for your needs."

Joff Lee/Stock Food Creative/Getty Imagesby Larry West Updated June 30, 2017We are increasingly careful about the found we eat, and this concern is spreading to the materials in contact with our food. For example, the choice of a safe reusable water bottle preoccupies many. Let's examine the choices we have when considering which cookware to use. Stainless Steel Cookware Combines Different Metals In reality, stainless steel is really a mixture of several different metals, including nickel, chromium, and molybdenum, all of which can trickle into foods. However, unless your stainless steel cookware is dinged and pitted, the amount of metals likely to get into your food is negligible. Stainless steel cookware in good condition can be considered safe for cooking. Anodized Aluminum Cookware May Be a Safer Alternative These days, many health conscious cooks are turning to anodized aluminum cookware as a safer alternative. The electro-chemical anodizing process locks in the cookware’s base metal, aluminum, so that it can’t get into food, and makes for what many cooks consider an ideal non-stick and scratch-resistant cooking surface. Calphalon is the leading manufacturer of anodized aluminum cookware, but newer offerings from All-Clad (endorsed by celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse) and others are coming on strong."

The copperhead snake is trying to find both food and a heat source in the spring of the year, the most common call we get is copperheads in the house The snakes are here because they are seeking their most common food source the frog. As is the problem with most snakes, controlling the food source in which they eat can be a key to solving the snake problem altogether you have to look at the food chain. The frogs are they are eating insects, the snakes are there eating the frogs, the key to getting rid of the copperheads around the home is getting rid of the insects in which the frogs are eating. This sometimes includes but is not limited to a quality pest control program and and around your home in order to eliminate the frogs primary food source. you can find a professional pest snake control company in your area here There are some other things that can be done to eliminate copperheads and the possibility of having copperheads in and around your home.

School is in session, pumpkin flavors are back and copperhead snakes are having babies. Unbeknownst to most residents of the Washington area, the region’s only venomous snake is multiplying this month. In these weeks, the one-third to one-half of copperhead females who became pregnant this year are giving birth to live young, according to Maryland Department of Natural Resources ecologist Scott Smith. Each mother gives birth to eight to 10 babies at once. Only 10 to 25 percent of those baby snakes will live through the winter to reach adulthood — so for now, the copperhead population is much higher than usual. And don’t assume that all those babies are any less dangerous than their full-grown pit viper parents. Smith explained that baby snakes lack muscle control. That’s bad news for any human who happens to be bitten by a baby copperhead."

Credit: Tim Nowak and Hamidreza Marvi. Corn snakes are nonvenomous snakes found primarily in the southeastern United States. They are medium-size snakes, brightly colored with individual patterns. Corn snakes are fairly calm and easy to care for. They are popular as pets. But watch out, corn snake owners — these elegant serpents are skilled at escaping from their homes. There are a few different ideas about how the corn snake got its name. According to the Smithsonian National Zoological Park, corn snakes' belly markings look similar to the kernel pattern on Indian corn. The Animal Diversity Web (ADW), a database maintained by the Museum of Zoology at the University of Michigan, reports that the corn snake's name comes from the fact that it can often be found in corn and other crop fields, while Davidson College's Herps of North Carolina says the name stems from the fact that corn snakes often live in barns where rats come to feed on corn and other grains."

Both \"\"water moccasin\"\" and \"\"cottonmouth\"\" are common names for Agkistrodon piscivorus, according to Sara Viernum, a herpetologist based in Madison, Wisconsin. \"\" The name 'cottonmouth' comes from the white coloration of the inside of the snake's mouth,\"\" she said. Other local names include black moccasin, gaper, mangrove rattler, snap jaw, stub-tail snake, swamp lion, trap jaw, water mamba and water pilot. Water moccasins are pit vipers, like copperheads and rattlesnakes. \"\" Like all pit vipers, [they] have heat-sensing facial pits between their eyes and nostrils,\"\" Viernum said.

"text": "Home » Democrat » The Origins of the Democratic Symbol November 15, 2013 Justin Gibson Democrat In 2008, the Democratic Party gathered in Denver for its 2008 convention. There, a donkey named Mordecai became the first official live mascot in the history of the party, giving a new meaning to the expression political animal. This Democratic symbol aimed to provide a few light-hearted moments at the convention. But where did the donkey symbol come from and why did the Democrats affiliate themselves with this member of the horse family that is often ridiculed? The origins of both the Democratic symbol, the donkey, and the Republican elephant come from Thomas Nast, German-born political cartoonist whose drawings also modernized the image of Santa Claus and Uncle Sam. When he was 6 years old, Nast moves to The Big Apple. He started to demonstrate an artistic ability at an early age, and inspired by New York’s thriving society, he put his social and political knowledge on paper. Thomas Nast was not very fond of the Copperhead Democrats, Northern Democrats who were against the Civil War. The artist considered them anti-Union racists with a great influence in the North. In 1862, Nast joined the staff of Harper’s Weekly."

"text": "Copperheads June 6, 2012 by Greg Greer Leave a Comment Copperheads: “Tis da season!”June 6, 2012I know that it is quite disturbing to many people to hear about snake-bite envenomation and this year seems to be on its way to having a high number of reported bites. One current statement seemed to indicate that there have been about 400 venomous snake bites in Georgia this year. While this may appear to be a very high number, one thing that needs to stated is that snakes became active in January this year when in most years snake activity may not begin until March or even April. On one trip to South Georgia in February, John Jensen and I found an eastern Diamondback rattlesnake that had not only emerged from its hole but it had already shed indicating that it had been up for quite some time and had most likely even fed……which certainly is not to be expected in a more typical weather circumstance in February. Most bites in Georgia are the result of close contact with copperheads. Copperheads may be found in most areas of the state including the urban and city areas of Atlanta. Most bites happen when people simply do not see the snake and they place their hand on the snake while gardening or by stepping on a snake in the night hours…..often by people going bare-foot or just wearing flip-flops, sandals or bedroom slippers. Of course any snake, when stepped upon is going to defend itself as being stepped on can certainly provide a mortal injury to a snake whose backbone is very susceptible by pressure applied to it from above. The snakes are not malicious in their intent; rather they are hurt and thus strike out in defense of themselves. Due to the snake bite report, many people are overly concerned thinking that there are venomous snakes lurking everywhere."

Credit: Matt Jeppson | Shutterstock Copperhead snakes are some of the more commonly seen North American snakes. They're also the most likely to bite, although their venom is relatively mild, and their bites are rarely fatal for humans. These snakes get their name, fittingly, from their copper-red heads, according to the biology department at Pennsylvania State University. Some other snakes are referred to as copperheads, which is a common (nonscientific) name. Water moccasins (cottonmouths), radiated rat snakes, Australian copperheads and sharp-nosed pit vipers are all sometimes called copperheads, but these are different species from the North American copperhead ( Agkistrodon contortrix ). Copperheads are pit vipers, like rattlesnakes and water moccasins. Pit vipers have \"\"heat-sensory pits between eye and nostril on each side of head,\"\" which are able to detect minute differences in temperatures so that the snakes can accurately strike the source of heat, which is often potential prey. Copperhead \"\"behavior is very much like that of most other pit vipers,\"\" said herpetologist Jeff Beane, collections manager of amphibians and reptiles at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences.

"text": "\"In certain parts of the country, especially the South, you could encounter both the copperhead (Agkistrodon contortrix) and the cottonmouth (A. piscivorus), often referred to as the water moccasin. Both snakes are pit vipers, sporting heat-sensing pits in their faces that alert them to the presence of both predators and prey. Both are venomous, so your best bet is to avoid them entirely. If bitten by either snake, seek immediate medical attention. Appearance Copperheads are the smaller of the two snakes species, growing to about 30 inches in length. Females are longer than males. These thick-bodied snakes have telltale copper heads, with red bodies and light brown crossbands. Immature copperheads have grayish bodies. Fang length corresponds with individual specimen length. At maturity, water moccasins generally range between 30 and 48 inches long, although individual snakes might grow much larger."

"text": "\"Home »Nature The Difference Between Gopher Snakes & Rattlesnakes By Arlene Mc Kanic; Updated April 24, 2017Gopher snakes and rattlesnakes resemble each other superficially. They have the same sort of markings and colors, and both snakes can be a bit short-tempered. The longest rattlesnake is about 9 feet long, and the fangs of a big rattlesnake can grow up to an inch long. But most rattlesnakes only grow to 5 feet long. The gopher snake grows from 6 to 9 feet long. Both snakes eat rabbits, squirrels, mice and other rodents. But there are differences. Pits Rattlesnakes are pit vipers, which means they're venomous and have facial pits between their eyes and their nostrils. These pits sense the temperature of what’s in front of them. The rattlesnake's pits can detect temperature differences of as little as one third of a degree Fahrenheit, which helps the snake when hunting at night."

They are poisonous but their bites have rarely been fatal. The name comes from the copper color of their heads. A baby copperhead snake is a pit viper, like water moccasins or rattlesnakes. A pit viper has heat-sensing pits between their eyes and their nostrils. They use these pits to detect temperature variations so they can be more accurate when striking. They lash out at the heat, which is usually their potential prey. Grown copperheads have thick, muscular bodies with ridged scales. The head is large and triangular in shape."

Home to more than 150 species of herpetofauna, Georgia ranks high among the states in total number of native species. One reason for the great herpetofaunal diversity in Georgia is that the state hosts many different terrestrial and aquatic habitats, including upland and bottomland mixed pine and hardwood forests, mountain coniferous forests, pine flatwoods, cypress–tupelo gum swamps, sandhills, streams, rivers, isolated wetlands, and caves, as well as salt marshes, coastal islands, and the ocean. The extensive habitat diversity, coupled with a moderate climate, is ideal for supporting a wide variety of reptile and amphibian species. Amphibians Georgia Bullfrog is home to approximately eighty species of amphibians, including at least fifty different kinds of salamanders. On the Coastal Plain are the giant salamanders, sirens and amphiumas, which can reach lengths of more than three feet, and the equally massive hellbender ( Cryptobranchus alleganiensis ), found in mountain trout streams. The numerous woodland salamanders of the southern Appalachian Mountains of Georgia and neighboring states give this region the highest salamander diversity in the world. The unusual Pigeon Mountain salamander ( Plethodon petraeus) is found nowhere else except in an area of northern Georgia. The limestone and cave-rich portion of southwest Georgia is home to the bizarre albino and eyeless Georgia blind salamander ( Haideotriton wallacei ). Thirty native species of frogs (as well as the greenhouse frog ( Eleutherodactylus planirostris ), native to the Caribbean) are found in the state, including several species of tree frogs, chorus frogs, and toads."

These have venomous bites, which can harm humans, and they should be avoided. Generally speaking, if you encounter a snake and you are unsure whether it is dangerous, or not, you should avoid it. Snakes in Florida are not generally aggressive and won’t normally attack you, if unprovoked. In fact, most of the time, they will attempt to flee if you go near them.

Small animals, like small dogs, may receive a fatal bite from a copperhead. The venom causes local tissue destruction and secondary infection often sets in.

They have a pale brown to light tan body, often with a pinkish tint. Their yellow eyes have elliptical or cat-like pupils. Its body, covered with rough scales, is patterned with dark, hour glass-shaped cross bands, wider at their base and narrow across the back.

Life History Copperheads feed on baby cottontails, swamp rabbits, rats, mice, birds, snakes, lizards, baby turtles, frogs, toads, and insects, especially grasshoppers and cicadas. They are preyed on by other snakes and raptors (birds of prey). Males reach sexual maturity within two years, females in three. Mating season is in the spring (February to early May), shortly after leaving winter dens; and fall (August to October) with fertilization delayed until following spring. Copperheads, like other pit vipers, do not lay eggs."

"text": "The Science Behind Venomous Snake Bitesby Globetrooper Todd | 9 Responses Tweet Snakes primarily use their venom to debilitate and digest prey. Sure, humans aren’t prey for most venomous snakes, but the toxins work on us in the same way. I mention this because if you keep in mind that venom is intended to secure food, its excessive effects make much more sense. Like my previous post about the effects of drinking sea water, I’m taking a bit of a gamble that you’ll find this topic as interesting as I do. Types of Snake Venom Before we get into the juicy details, let’s look at the three types of toxins in snake venom: Hemotoxic venom affects the heart and cardiovascular system Neurotoxic venom affects the nervous system and brain Cytotoxic venom has a localised effect on the bite area Snakes can deliver a combination of these venoms to capture, debilitate, kill and digest prey. Unfortunately for humans, many snakes are blessed with venom that is far in excess of day-to-day needs. For example, the venom in a single bite of the non-agressive Inland Taipan has the potency to kill 250,000 mice. Scientists are still unsure why snake venom has evolved to such extremes. Types of Venomous Snakes There are three families of venomous snake. Each family has a unique venom delivery method, so it’s best to think about the science of venomous bites on a per-family basis.1."

Copperheads have light-brown, or orange, or pink bodies that are highlighted by dark, chestnut brown cross bands which form a series of hourglass shapes across their backs. The thickness and continuity of these cross bands are important characteristics in identifying the five sub-species of A. contortrix. Belly markings of these snakes consist of gray to black blotches that are blended together to make a cloudy or marbled pattern. Copperheads are typically 2 to 3 feet in length although individuals up to 4 ½ feet long have been reported. Females are longer than males, but males have proportionally longer tails. The bodies of A. contortrix are stout and taper abruptly to form the much smaller diameter tail. Immature copperheads have tails that are bright yellow, and they may use these colored tails to attract prey. Range Copperheads are found throughout the eastern and central United States from Connecticut to Kansas and Florida to western Texas. The five sub-species are roughly distributed in a northern, northwestern, southern, and two southwestern sub-regions of their broad geographic range."

School is in session, pumpkin flavors are back and copperhead snakes are having babies. Unbeknownst to most residents of the Washington area, the region’s only venomous snake is multiplying this month. In these weeks, the one-third to one-half of copperhead females who became pregnant this year are giving birth to live young, according to Maryland Department of Natural Resources ecologist Scott Smith. Each mother gives birth to eight to 10 babies at once. Only 10 to 25 percent of those baby snakes will live through the winter to reach adulthood — so for now, the copperhead population is much higher than usual. And don’t assume that all those babies are any less dangerous than their full-grown pit viper parents. Smith explained that baby snakes lack muscle control. That’s bad news for any human who happens to be bitten by a baby copperhead."

But snakes also are out enjoying the warmer weather and basking in the sun. Kory Steele, a snake expert and past president of the Virginia Herpetological Society, says snakes will really come out in the morning to bask. Steele says there are roughly 32 snake species that are native to Virginia but only three of those are venomous. Northern Copperheads are found statewide. He says they are the least venomous of venomous snakes in the world. “There’s no way that a copperhead will ever kill you,” he said.

However, in fear of these creatures, other non-venomous and beneficial species are often misidentified and killed. Today's post is how to tell if a snake is a copperhead snake ( Agkistrodon contortorix) or the harmless northern banded water snake ( Nerodia sipedon ). Both look similar, but they have some key differences. Let's Begin with Copperheads.... Copperhead snakes are the most common venomous snake in the Eastern US. They are in the pit viper family ( Crotalidae, pronounced Crow-t Al-a-day). They are also in the genus Agkistrodone ( pronounced ag-kiss-trow-doe-ne), which includes the cottonmouth or water moccasin. It is a shy snake that is usually not aggressive and its bites are rarely fatal, though they can be painful. POISONOUS VERSUS VENOMOUSAnimals that inject venom are called venomous, and not poisonous.

( Photo: Matt Reinbold /flickr)If you happen upon a snake while gardening or hiking, there’s a good chance you won’t know if it’s venomous at first glance. If you can resist the urge to run or to kill it, take a longer look. A visual check will help determine if the snake poses a danger. From a safe distance, look at:1. The shape of its head. This is the easiest and most obvious indication of whether a snake is venomous or non-venomous. The head of a venomous snake is usually triangular or shaped like an arrow."

"text": "How to Identify a Copperhead Snake Copperheads are arguably the most recognizable snake breed that calls the United States home. The poisonous snake also suffers from an identity crisis of sorts, as the pattern forged onto its flesh is quite similar to several other species of harmless, non-poisonous slithering critters. It may be tough to differentiate copperheads from other snakes, particularly if you’re inclined to be freaked out at the site of a snake. However, there are several ways you can identify whether or not that snake that’s creeping up next to your camping party is worth worrying about. Facts About Copperheads The bite of a copperhead is pretty ubiquitous when it comes to American-based snake bites. It’s estimated that around 5,000 to 8,000 of the 55,000 reported snake bites in the U. S. are initiated by a copperhead’s fangs. That roughly translates to 10 to 15% of all reported bites. The copperhead’s reputation for having a vicious bite is well-earned. Its mildest symptoms can include unpleasant things like throbbing, tingling, severe nausea, and sharp pains. At its apex, the bit can cause bone, tissue, and muscle damage, particularly if the bite occurs in the hands or the feet."

That's why anti venom for a rattesnake won't work on a coral snakebite even though they are both pit vipers. Broadly speaking there are two types, neurotoxins (acts on the brain and nerves) and hemotoxins (acts on the blood at a cellular level) Of the snakes you mention the most poisonous is the coral snake and a copperhead is barely poisonous at all. As kids we turned over hay bales in the field so the twine didn't rot underneath and were sometimes bitten by copperheads under them. It hurt and swelled and mom would yell at us for not wearing boots and long pants but no-one panicked. Corals, rattlesnakes and cottonmouths CAN be fatal, esp rattlers and corals.

Copperheads are thick-bodied and have keeled scales. They have a temperature sensitive pit organ on each side of the head between the eye and the nostril. Sometimes when touched, they emit a musk that smells like cucumbers. Size The average length of adult copperheads is 30 inches (76 centimeters). Males have longer tails then females, and females grow to greater lengths. Copperheads have grooved fangs that can be 0.3 inches (7.2 millimeters) in length. The length of the snake relates to the length of the fangs; the longer the snake, the longer the fangs. Native Habitat Northern copperheads live in the United States from the Florida panhandle, north to Massachusetts and west to Nebraska. Of the five different subspecies, the northern copperhead has the largest range."

One of the three venomous snakes found in Oklahoma, the copperhead (Agkistrodon contortix) inhabits the eastern and central portions of Oklahoma. Highly adaptable, it thrives in close proximity to man and encounters, though rare, are occasionally unpleasant. On the other hand, the copperhead is very efficient in controlling populations of rodents and vermin, making it extremely valuable to farmers and gardeners. The copperhead is distinguishable y the hour-glass-shaped bands on its light brown back. During the breeding season, these copper-colored bands are almost luminous, making the copperhead one of the most recognizable snakes on the landscape. Compared to other snakes, the copperhead has a moderately heavy body, but it rarely exceeds three feet in length. Two species of copperheads are found in Oklahoma. The northern copperhead inhabits the eastern woodlands, while the broad-banded copperhead occupies central Oklahoma, from the Red River north to the Kansas border. Like the cottonmouth and rattlesnake, the copperhead is classified as a \"\"pit viper\"\" because of the sensory pit between its eyes and nostrils."

"text": "\"Surveys disagree on the number of venomous snake bites recorded every year in North America - between 1400 and 8000 - and on the number of deaths resulting from these bites - between 1 and 5. Statistics also suggest that only about 18 percent of snake bites in the USA are from venomous species. Of course even 1 death is always 1 too many for the person concerned, but if put into perspective or compared to all the other possible causes of death, one can consider that human deaths caused by snake bites are virtually non existent in North America. In fact, few venomous species occur in North America and only 4 of them pose a hazard to humans - though none of them would rank among the most venomous in the world. North America's venomous snakes fall into two groups: Coral Snakes and Pit Vipers (which include Rattlesnakes, Cottonmouth, Copperhead) 1) CORAL SNAKES (Micrurus) Coral snakes are related to the cobra family and can potentially be extremely venomous though they are generally shy and slow to bite. Coral snakes thus account for fewer than 1% of venomous snakebites in the United States with most people bitten while handling the snakes intentionally. On top of all, Coral Snakes cannot strike quickly and must hang on for a brief period to achieve significant envenomation in humans. Because of this relatively primitive venom delivery apparatus, it is estimated that 60% of those bitten by North American coral snakes are not envenomed. There has been no deaths from Coral Snake bites in the United States since antivenin became available. Before, bites killed 10% of the victims from respiratory or cardiovascular failure."

"text": "Copperheadsby Jonathan W. White Copperheads, or Peace Democrats, opposed the Civil War because they believed it was unjustified and being waged in an unconstitutional manner. Moreover, they came to believe that the benefits of winning the war were not worth the cost. For several generations, historians adhered to the Republican view of Peace Democrats—that they were disloyal traitors both to the war effort and the Union itself. Beginning in the Vietnam era, historians began to reevaluate the “disloyalty” of the Democratic Party, pointing out that Democrats adhered to long-standing constitutional and economic positions, and that they had been in some cases illegally suppressed by the Lincoln administration. Several leading political historians came to the conclusion that the Democrats really were a loyal opposition. Recent scholarship has challenged this revisionist view asserting that, while Copperheads were loyal, they actively hampered the Union war effort and that Copperhead secret societies posed a real threat and danger to the Union. Current scholarship is splintered between those who view Copperheads as a loyal opposition and those who view them as a threat to the Union war effort. In 2013, Ron Maxwell’s Copperhead opened in theaters throughout the country to little fanfare. Sidney Blumenthal excoriated the movie in the Atlantic Monthly as “propaganda for an old variation of the neo-Confederate Lost Cause myth.” Blumenthal rightly pointed out that the film minimized the importance of race and slavery to northern Democratic political thought, but he wrongly implied that Copperheads were not principled politicians."

"text": "\"The Facts In Massachusetts we have fourteen species of native snakes. Most of them, even as adults, are less than three feet long, and several are generally less than a foot in length. None of them are aggressive, although - like most animals - they will defend themselves if threatened, injured or captured. Even then, the defensive maneuvers of several species are nothing more offensive than releasing foul-smelling anal secretions. Other species attempt to frighten or intimidate potential enemies through bluff: flattening their heads, puffing up their bodies, rattling their tails or hissing. In self defense, some will indeed bite, but except in the case of our two extremely rare, venomous species, the resulting wounds are superficial. Our nonvenomous snakes all possess short, thin, very sharp teeth that leave clean, shallow wounds (rarely requiring even a bandage), and which - unlike the bites of mammals - carry no threat of disease. The important thing to remember is that unless you attempt to harm or capture a snake, it is almost impossible to get bitten. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning. Reproduction Depending on the species, snakes may be egg-layers or give birth to live young."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Zoology or Animal Biology Animal Behavior What snakes look like copperheads? Flag What snakes look like copperheads? Answer by Mr Toad Confidence votes 34Well, that's to some degree a matter of opinion. Copperheads are tan-to-brown snakes with light-colored 'hourglass' bands (wide at the sides and narrow in the middle). The most distinguishing feature is usually the lighter, often coppery-colored head, but this may vary. I once came across an older female with a relatively brown head, not dramatically lighter than the rest of her body. They tend to be rather chunky-looking as they get bigger, and are often pretty sluggish and calm. They tend to be found in rocky or weedy upland fields where logs or other shelter is common, and they seem to be more active hunters at night in my experience. So, what do we have that's similar? The snakes that are most often confused with Copperheads are either common Water Snakes (darker brown with dark hourglass bands and a dark head) which are (as you might expect) found near water and tend to be very irritable, unpleasant snakes, and Eastern Hognose Snakes, which are found in the same sort of habitat, and have broad heads, but are otherwise rather different - blotchy pattern instead of banded."

Snakes are meat eaters and they catch prey that includes insects, birds, small mammals, and other reptiles, sometimes including other snakes. Only about 400 of 3,000 snake species worldwide are venomous. About 25 species of venomous snakes are found in North America. Many snakes kill their prey by constriction.

"text": "Copperheads are one of the most commonly encountered venomous snakes in the southeastern United States. Unlike many species that are unable to cope with human altered habitats, copperheads often thrive in disturbed areas. Copperhead bites are serious, but fatalities are exceedingly rare, and the shy snakes will only bite if you handle or step on them. Identify baby copperheads by observing several different criteria, including their pattern, tail tip and body shape. Copperhead Basics Five different subspecies of the copperhead inhabit North America. Northern copperheads (Agkistrodon contortrix mokasen) live throughout the low mountains and piedmont of the southeastern United States, while southern copperheads (A. c. contortix) inhabit the coastal plain of the Southeastern United States. Moving west, Osage copperheads (A. c. phaeogaster) range throughout Missouri, Kansas and parks of Oklahoma. The broad-banded copperhead (A. c. laticinctus) replaces the Osage copperhead to the south of its range. The Trans-Pecos copperhead (A. c. pictigaster) lives only in southwest Texas. Integration between the subspecies is common along adjacent portions of their range; an individual specimen may resemble either of the discrete subspecies or a combination thereof."

Their geographic range extends from southern New England to the eastern parts of Kansas and Nebraska, and then south to eastern Texas to the Florida panhandle. They are also found in localized parts of western Texas and northern Coahuila and Chihuahua, Mexico. Copperhead subspecies are recognized by slight changes in color pattern shape and hue. Five subspecies are recognized: Northern Copperhead ( A. c. mokasen) - Widely extends throughout the United States, southern New England (USA) to Coahuila and Chihuahua, Mexico. Southern Copperhead ( A. c. contortrix) - Extends through Massachusetts, westward to Texas and southeastern Nebraska. Broad Banded Copperhead ( A. c. laticinctus) - Confined to southern border of Kansas and Oklahoma, and central Texas. Trans-Pecos Copperhead ( A. c. pictigaster) - Confined to the Trans-Pecos (far west Texas) region as well as northeastern Mexico. Osage Copperhead ( A. c. phaeogaster) - Found in the central region of the United States, where they are most prominent in Missouri and eastern Kansas. Recent molecular analyses using mitochondrial DNA however suggests that there are three clades within the species that have relatively low divergence and do not correspond to the above-mentioned subspecies designations."

Despite their sinister reputation, snakes are almost always more scared of you than you are of them. Most snakes do not act aggressive toward humans without provocation. Snakes are meat eaters and they catch prey that includes insects, birds, small mammals, and other reptiles, sometimes including other snakes. Only about 400 of 3,000 snake species worldwide are venomous. About 25 species of venomous snakes are found in North America. Many snakes kill their prey by constriction. In constriction, a snake suffocates its prey by tightening its hold around the chest, preventing breathing or causing direct cardiac arrest. Snakes do not kill by crushing prey. Some snakes grab prey with their teeth and then swallow it whole."

Republicans started calling anti-war Democrats \"\"Copperheads\"\", likening them to the venomous snake. Those Democrats accepted the label, reinterpreting the copper \"\"head\"\" as the likeness of Liberty, which they cut from Liberty Head large cent coins and proudly wore as badges. [ 1] By contrast, Democratic supporters of the war were called War Democrats. The Copperheads represented the more extreme wing of the Northern Democrats. Notable Copperheads included two Democratic Congressmen from Ohio: Clement L. Vallandigham and Alexander Long. Republican prosecutors accused some prominent Copperheads of treason in a series of trials in 1864. [ 2]Copperheadism was a highly contentious grass-roots movement. It had its strongest base in the area just north of the Ohio River as well as in some urban ethnic wards. Some historians have argued that it represented a traditionalistic element alarmed at the rapid modernization of society sponsored by the Republican Party and that it looked back to Jacksonian democracy for inspiration."

The deduction by a corporation in any taxable year for charitable contributions, as defined in section 170 (c), is limited to 5 percent of its taxable income for the year, computed without regard to: (1) The deduction under section 170 for charitable contributions, (2) The special deductions for corporations allowed under Part VIII (except section 248), Subchapter B, Chapter 1 of the Code, (3) Any net operating loss carryback to the taxable year under section 172, and (4) Any capital loss carryback to the taxable year under section 1212 (a) (1). A charitable contribution by a corporation to a trust, chest, fund, or foundation described in section 170 (c) (2) is deductible under section 170 only if the contribution is to be used in the United States or its possessions exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals. For the purposes of section 170, amounts excluded from the gross income of a corporation under section 114, relating to sports programs conducted for the American National Red Cross, are not to be considered contributions or gifts. ( b) Election by corporations on an accrual method. ( 1) A corporation reporting its taxable income on an accrual method may elect to have a charitable contribution treated as paid during the taxable year, if payment is actually made on or before the 15th day of the third month following the close of such year and if, during such year, its board of directors authorizes the charitable contribution. If by reason of such an election a charitable contribution (other than a contribution of a letter, memorandum, or property similar to a letter or memorandum) paid in a taxable year beginning after December 31, 1969, is treated as paid during a taxable year beginning before January 1, 1970, the provisions of § 1.170A-4 shall not be applied to reduce the amount of such contribution. However, see section 170 (e) before its amendment by the Tax Reform Act of 1969. ( 2) The election must be made at the time the return for the taxable year is filed, by reporting the contribution on the return."

"text": "Flexible New Options for Charitable Giving: Contributions to a Charity’s LLC11.07.12By La Verne Woods Charities and donors now have a new option for structuring charitable gifts. The structure, approved in recent IRS guidance, will be particularly useful for gifts of assets such as real property that may have liabilities associated with them. A charity may be happy to receive a gift of real property, but it generally will not wish to accept the property directly because of the risk of environmental liabilities. A simple way to address this risk is for the charity to form a single-member limited liability company (LLC) and have the donor make the gift to the LLC. This structure has rarely been used, however, because of questions regarding the donor’s ability to claim a charitable contribution deduction for the gift to the LLC. The IRS declined for more than a decade to confirm that a donor to a charity’s LLC could take a deduction. Charities and donors instead addressed the needs for both protection from liability and certainty regarding the deduction through a variety of work-arounds. For example, the donor could contribute the property to an LLC and then contribute the interest in the LLC to the charity so that the charity would never hold the property directly. This required the donor to engage in two transactions to make the gift, however, and could raise questions as to whether the deduction for the contribution of the LLC interest is the same as for the real property itself. New IRS guidance confirms that a donor may deduct a gift to a charity’s LLC."

"text": "DEFINITION of 'Qualified Charitable Organization'A qualified charitable organization is a nonprofit organization that qualifies for tax-exempt status according to the U. S. Treasury. Qualified charitable organizations include those operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to animals or children, or the development of amateur sports. Nonprofit veterans' organizations, fraternal lodge groups, cemetery and burial companies and certain legal corporations can also qualify. Even federal, state and local governments can be considered qualified charitable organizations if money that is donated to them is earmarked for charitable causes. Next Up IRS Publication 526Bargain Sale To A Charitable Organization IRS Publication 78Donor Advised Fund BREAKING DOWN 'Qualified Charitable Organization'Only donations that are made to a qualified charitable organization are tax-deductible. Organizations that do not qualify for this status are considered for-profit and are taxed accordingly. For example, political contributions are not tax-deductible, because political parties are not charitable institutions. On the other hand, contributions to an organization dedicated to building hospitals in third-world countries would likely be a charitable organization, and contributions would be tax deductible. Qualified charitable organizations differ from strictly tax-exempt organizations, which do not have to be for a charitable purpose yet are not required to pay taxes. However, qualified charitable organizations are also tax-exempt."

"text": "INTRODUCTIONA private foundation is a charitable corporation or trust which receives financial support from a limited number of sources. A private foundation’s charitable activities most commonly consist of making grants or contributions to other charitable organizations which are themselves engaged directly in charitable work. For example, a private foundation might make a grant to a hospital, a community fund agency or an educational organization. Most private foundations are subject to a requirement that they make a minimum amount of distributions each year. Some private foundations themselves directly carry on charitable activities and are not subject to this distribution obligation. Private foundations are exempt from income tax but most are subject to a one or two percent “excise tax” on investment income. Private foundations are also subject to other types of excise taxes meant to insure that the activities, distributions and investments of the foundation are directed toward charitable activities. Contributions to private foundations are generally tax deductible by the contributor. Special rules govern the amount that may be deducted. These rules take into consideration the donor’s adjusted gross income and the nature of the property contributed."

"text": "Why apply for 501 (c) (3) status? The benefits of having 501 (c) (3) status include exemption from federal income tax and eligibility to receive tax-deductible charitable contributions. To qualify for these benefits, most organizations must file an application with, and be recognized by, the IRS as described in this publication. Another benefit is that some organizations may be exempt from certain employment taxes. Individual and corporate donors are more likely to support organizations with 501 (c) (3) status because their donations can be tax deductible. Recognition of exemption under section 501 (c) (3) of the IRC assures foundations and other grant-making institutions that they are issuing grants or sponsorships to permitted beneficiaries. An IRS determination of 501 (c) (3) status is recognized and accepted for other purposes. For example: state officials may grant exemption from state income, sales, and property taxes; and the U. S. Postal Service offers reduced postal rates to certain organizations. Who is eligible for 501 (c) (3) status? There are three key components for an organization to be exempt from federal income tax under section 501 (c) (3) of the IRC."

Income That Must Be Distributed Currently (p21)Income That Must be Distributed Currently Beneficiaries entitled to receive currently distributable income generally must include in gross income the entire amount due them. However, if the income required to be distributed currently is more than the estate's distributable net income figured without deducting charitable contributions, each beneficiary must include in gross income a ratable part of the distributable net income. Example. ( p21)Under the terms of the will of Gerald Peters, $5,000 a year is to be paid to his widow and $2,500 a year is to be paid to his daughter out of the estate's income during the period of administration."

"text": "Charitable Gifts of Real Estate December 2010 | Professional Tax and Estate Planning Notes Read the PDF or continue below... For many individuals, real estate represents a significant portion of their wealth. The availability of a variety of planning techniques can make charitable gifts of real estate financially appealing to donors. Real estate is, therefore, a logical candidate for charitable giving. But as an asset class, real estate tends to be illiquid and presents other planning challenges as well. Like gifts of art, the focus of our October issue, gifts of real estate require the donor and the charity to work closely with each other to develop a plan that is agreeable to both. And donors will need advice from their own tax, financial, and legal advisors to make sure they are optimizing the tax and financial benefits associated with their gift. A fundamental question is whether a charity will accept a gift of real estate at all. The New York Community Trust generally will accept a real estate gift only if it is contributed to a charitable trust with one of our trustee banks serving as trustee and shouldering the responsibility for managing and disposing of the real estate. We generally do not accept real estate gifts to Community Funds, Inc., our nonprofit corporate affiliate. This issue is the fourth in the series devoted to charitable gifts of unusual assets."

It is the most common type of the 29 types of 501 (c) nonprofit organizations in the United States. Many charitable non-profits in the United States that Americans commonly know of, and often make donations to, are 501 (c) (3) organizations, [ according to whom?] ranging from charitable foundations to universities and churches. These organizations must be approved by the Internal Revenue Service to be tax-exempt under the terms of section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.501 (c) (3) tax-exemptions apply to entities that are organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes, or for testing for public safety, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition, or for the prevention of cruelty to children, women, or animals. 501 (c) (3) exemption applies also for any non-incorporated community chest, fund, cooperating association or foundation that is organized and operated exclusively for those purposes. [ 1] [2] There are also supporting organizations—often referred to in shorthand form as \"\"Friends of\"\" organizations. [ 3] [4] [5] [6] [7]26 U. S. C. § 170, provides a deduction, for federal income tax purposes, for some donors who make charitable contributions to most types of 501 (c) (3) organizations, among others. Regulations specify which such deductions must be verifiable to be allowed (e.g., receipts for donations over $250). Due to the tax deductions associated with donations, loss of 501 (c) (3) status can be highly challenging if not fatal to a charity's continued operation, as many foundations and corporate matching programs do not grant funds to a charity without such status, and individual donors often do not donate to such a charity due to the unavailability of the deduction."

"text": "\"Charitable Contributions: How Much Can You Write Off?by Stephanie Morrow College Professor Americans are generous individuals. From corporations to private citizens, Americans gave an estimated $241 billion to charitable organizations in 2003, according to the study \"\"Giving USA 2004.\"\" So when tax time rolls around, it's always nice to see your charitable contributions pay off as a charitable deduction. The question is: while contributing may be good for the soul, how good is it really on your tax return? How Much Is Too Much? The IRS has a limit on giving, but even if your heart exceeds the IRS maximum, you may still be able to benefit from your generous spirit. You may deduct a maximum of up to 50% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) (Line 36 on IRS Form 1040) for the tax year the donation was given. However, if you give more than 50%, the excess may be carried forward for up to five years. Be aware that the 50% rule applies to most contributions, but certain contributions may have lower limits.

The host organism is essentially unchanged by the interaction, whereas the commensal species may show great morphological adaptation. This relationship can be contrasted with mutualism, in which both species benefit. One of the best-known examples of a commensal is the remora (family Echineidae) that rides attached to sharks and other fishes. Remoras have evolved on the top of their heads a flat oval sucking disk structure that adheres to the bodies of their hosts. Both remoras and pilot fishes feed on the leftovers of their hosts’ meals. Other examples of commensals include bird species, such as the great egret ( Ardea alba ), that feed on insects turned up by grazing mammals or on soil organisms stirred up by plowing.

As the skin and outer tissues are in constant contact with the environment, microbes have easy access to colonize these areas of the body. Most of the bacteria that reside on skin and hair are either commensalistic (beneficial to the bacteria but do not help or harm the host) or mutualistic (beneficial to both the bacteria and the host). Some skin bacteria even protect against pathogenic bacteria by secreting substances that prevent harmful microbes from taking up residence. Others protect against pathogens by alerting immune system cells and inducing an immune response. While most strains of bacteria on the skin are harmless, others can pose serious health problems. These bacteria can cause everything from mild infections (boils, abscesses, and cellulitis) to serious infections of the blood, meningitis, and food poisoning. Skin bacteria are characterized by the type of skin environment in which they thrive. There are three main types of skin environments that are populated predominately by three species of bacteria. These environments include the sebaceous or oily areas (head, neck, and trunk), the moist areas (creases of the elbow and between the toes), and the dry areas (broad surfaces of the arms and legs)."

Abstract Pili have only been discovered in the major Gram-positive pathogens in the past decade and they have been found to play an important role in colonisation and virulence. Pili have been shown to have many important functions including attachment to host tissues, mediating bacterial aggregation, biofilm formation and binding to proteins in the extracellular matrix. In this study, sortase-dependent pili have been found to be expressed on the surface of Finegoldia magna ALB8. F. magna is a Gram-positive anaerobic coccus that, primarily, is a commensal of the skin and mucous membranes, but has also been isolated from various clinical infection sites and is associated with soft-tissue abscesses, wound infections and bone and prosthetic joint infections. In this study, F. magna ALB8 was found to harbour three sortases at the pilus locus, two of which bear high similarity to class C sortases in Streptococcus pneumoniae. Two putative sortase-dependent pili proteins were found in the locus, with one being identified as the major pilus subunit, Fmp1 ( F. magna pilus subunit 1), due to its high similarity to other major pilus proteins in prominent Gram-positive pathogens. The presence of sortase-dependent pili was confirmed experimentally through recombinant production of Fmp1 and production of antiserum. The Fmp1 antiserum was used in Western blot to show the presence of a high molecular weight protein ladder, characteristic of the presence of pili, in trypsin released cell wall surface proteins from F. magna. The presence of sortase-dependent pili was visually confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, which showed the binding of gold labelled anti-Fmp1 to individual pilus proteins along the pilus."

This group is very ancient, and branched off from the other groups very early in the evolutionary sequence. The actinomycete group includes many familiar and important bacteria, including Mycobacterium (the causal agents of tuberculosis and leprosy), Corynebacterium (a common commensal on human skin, and therefore often recovered in bacterial air samples), and Streptomyces (the source of many antibiotics as well as the pleasant odor of freshly turned soil). The actinomycetes are rod shaped or filamentous. Those that are rod shaped may form long, branching, chains of cells. Many actinomycetes form true filaments that branch and form colonies that look like fungi, although the diameter of the filaments is much smaller than that of the fungi. Filamentous forms produce spores that may be single, in short chains, or in very long chains that may form beautiful spirals. There are both anaerobic and aerobic actinomycetes. Actinomyces is an important anaerobic genus (see below). The truly filamentous forms are predominantly aerobic."

Access to the resource is limited between species, thus competition harms both species. Competition can also occur within a population, since the members all require the same resources. 2. Competition can occur both directly and indirectly.

This bacteria is Gram-positive and fermentative. Like other bacteria in the Corynebacterium genus, C. xerosis is recognized by its rod-like shape. This particular species is in the shape of a slightly curved rod, and it does not usually form clubs, which are end swellings. It is a fermentative bacteria, and metabolizes both glucose and sucrose. The bacteria is also non-lipophilic, which means that it does not reproduce quickly in fats the way some other bacteria do. There are a number of different bacteria in the Corynebacterium genus, the most well known of which may be C. diptheriae, which causes diptheria. This is an aggressive bacterial infection that may compromise organ function if left untreated. Many of the other species in the genus are less dangerous; although it can cause a number of illnesses, C. xerosis is not a serious concern for most people."

However, acne may persist long into adulthood in some people. The parts of the body affected by acne are the areas of the skin with the highest concentration of sebaceous follicles. These are areas with high population of sebaceous glands and follicles which are easily colonized by acne-causing bacteria. Such areas include the face, neck, upper parts of the chest, upper arm and the back as well as the thighs and buttocks in severe cases of acne. Acne can produce superficial and deep lesions."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Dogs and sheep were among the first animals to be domesticated. The domestication of animals is the mutual relationship between animals with the humans who have influence on their care and reproduction. [ 1] Charles Darwin recognized the small number of traits that made domesticated species different from their wild ancestors. He was also the first to recognize the difference between conscious selective breeding in which humans directly select for desirable traits, and unconscious selection where traits evolve as a by-product of natural selection or from selection on other traits. [ 2] [3] [4] There is a genetic difference between domestic and wild populations. There is also such a difference between the domestication traits that researchers believe to have been essential at the early stages of domestication, and the improvement traits that have appeared since the split between wild and domestic populations. [ 5] [6] [7] Domestication traits are generally fixed within all domesticates, and were selected during the initial episode of domestication of that animal or plant, whereas improvement traits are present only in a proportion of domesticates, though they may be fixed in individual breeds or regional populations. [ 6] [7] [8]Domestication should not be confused with taming. Taming is the conditioned behavioral modification of a wild-born animal when its natural avoidance of humans is reduced and it accepts the presence of humans, but domestication is the permanent genetic modification of a bred lineage that leads to an inherited predisposition toward humans. [ 9] [10] [11] Certain animal species, and certain individuals within those species, make better candidates for domestication than others because they exhibit certain behavioral characteristics: (1) the size and organization of their social structure; (2) the availability and the degree of selectivity in their choice of mates; (3) the ease and speed with which the parents bond with their young, and the maturity and mobility of the young at birth; (4) the degree of flexibility in diet and habitat tolerance; and (5) responses to humans and new environments, including flight responses and reactivity to external stimuli.

Over the past 40 years, scientists have been arduously working to discover the over 500 different species of bacteria in and around the mouth known today. The mouth is comprised of an oral cavity, which includes the teeth and gums, surrounded by the lips, cheeks, tongue, palate, and throat. Each of these habitats offers differing environmental conditions, and as such, is colonized by a different microbial flora. The oral environment is constantly in flux. From birth to around age 12, when the permanent dentition is complete, the local oral conditions are continuously changing as teeth are shed and new ones erupt [A1]. In addition, environmental factors such as, nutrition, diet, hygiene, smoking, dehydration, and even stress, alter the ecological conditions of mouth. Saliva covers all surfaces and serves various important functions, mechanical and nutritional, (digestive, swallowing, cleansing, lubricative, bactericidal, and excretory) in the oral cavity. It is comprised of various proteins and glycoprotein, of which the main constituents include salivary mucins (approximately 25% of saliva), amylase, Ig A, and lysozyme. The typical resting p H (6.5-6.9) is slightly more acidic than stimulating p H (7.0-7.5), but often varies depending on the secretion rate. ["

In contrast, Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the violet dye and are colored red or pink.

For human community organized around economic and ecological sustainability, see ecovillage. Interspecific interactions such as predation are a key aspect of community ecology. In ecology, a community is a group or association of populations of two or more different species occupying the same geographical area and in a particular time, also known as a biocoenosis The term community has a variety of uses. In its simplest form it refers to groups of organisms in a specific place or time, for example, \"\"the fish community of Lake Ontario before industrialization\"\". Community ecology or synecology is the study of the interactions between species in communities on many spatial and temporal scales, including the distribution, structure, abundance, demography, and interactions between coexisting populations. [ 1] The primary focus of community ecology is on the interactions between populations as determined by specific genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. Community ecology has its origin in European plant sociology. Modern community ecology examines patterns such as variation in species richness, equitability, productivity and food web structure (see community structure ); it also examines processes such as predator–prey population dynamics, succession, and community assembly. On a deeper level the meaning and value of the community concept in ecology is up for debate."

The extent of colonization remains elusive, as are relationships between isolated microorganisms, preterm labor and fetal inflammation. Study Design Biopsy specimens of chorion parenchyma from 1083 placentas delivered before the beginning of the 28th week of gestation were cultured, and the placentas were examined histologically. The frequencies of individual microorganisms and groups of microorganisms were evaluated in strata of processes leading to preterm delivery, routes of delivery, gestational age, and placenta morphology. Results Placentas delivered by cesarean section with preeclampsia had the lowest bacterial recovery rate (25%). Preterm labor had the highest rates, which decreased with increasing gestational age from 79% at 23 weeks to 43% at 27 weeks. The presence of microorganisms in placenta parenchyma was associated with the presence of neutrophils in the fetal stem vessels of the chorion or in the vessels of the umbilical cord. Conclusion The high rate of colonization appears to coincide with phenomena associated with preterm delivery and gestational age. The presence of microorganisms within placenta parenchyma is biologically important.

In a symbiotic mutualistic relationship, the clownfish feeds on small invertebrates that otherwise have potential to harm the sea anemone, and the fecal matter from the clownfish provides nutrients to the sea anemone. The clownfish is additionally protected from predators by the anemone's stinging cells, to which the clownfish is immune. The clownfish also emits a high pitched sound that deters butterfly fish, which would otherwise eat the anemone. [ 1]Symbiosis (from Greek συμβίωσις \"\"living together\"\", from σύν \"\"together\"\" and βίωσις \"\"living\"\") [2] is any type of a close and long-term biological interaction between two different biological organisms, be it mutualistic, commensalistic, or parasitic.

One of the primary objectives is identification of major changes in trends, and relationships and the investigation of the reasons underlying those changes. The judgment process can be improved by experience and the use of analytical tools. Probably the most widely used financial analysis technique is ratio analysis, the analysis of relationships between two or more line items on the financial statement. Financial ratios are usually expressed in percentage or times. Generally, financial ratios are calculated for the purpose of evaluating aspects of a company's operations and fall into the following categories:liquidity ratios measure a firm's ability to meet its current obligations.profitability ratios measure management's ability to control expenses and to earn a return on the resources committed to the business.leverage ratios measure the degree of protection of suppliers of long-term funds and can also aid in judging a firm's ability to raise additional debt and its capacity to pay its liabilities on time.efficiency, activity or turnover ratios provide information about management's ability to control expenses and to earn a return on the resources committed to the business. A ratio can be computed from any pair of numbers. Given the large quantity of variables included in financial statements, a very long list of meaningful ratios can be derived.

"text": "Accounting > Chart of Accounts Chart of Accounts The chart of accounts is a listing of all the accounts in the general ledger, each account accompanied by a reference number. To set up a chart of accounts, one first needs to define the various accounts to be used by the business. Each account should have a number to identify it. For very small businesses, three digits may suffice for the account number, though more digits are highly desirable in order to allow for new accounts to be added as the business grows. With more digits, new accounts can be added while maintaining the logical order. Complex businesses may have thousands of accounts and require longer account reference numbers. It is worthwhile to put thought into assigning the account numbers in a logical way, and to follow any specific industry standards. An example of how the digits might be coded is shown in this list: Account Numbering1000 - 1999: asset accounts 2000 - 2999: liability accounts 3000 - 3999: equity accounts 4000 - 4999: revenue accounts 5000 - 5999: cost of goods sold 6000 - 6999: expense accounts 7000 - 7999: other revenue (for example, interest income) 8000 - 8999: other expense (for example, income taxes)By separating each account by several numbers, many new accounts can be added between any two while maintaining the logical order. Defining Accounts Different types of businesses will have different accounts. For example, to report the cost of goods sold a manufacturing business will have accounts for its various manufacturing costs whereas a retailer will have accounts for the purchase of its stock merchandise."

"text": "\"Create a Profit and Loss Statement Overview Ask yourself: Exactly how are my products and services affecting my business? How much money am I actually making because of those products and services? An income statement answers these and other financial questions. An income statement tells you and any stockholders how your net assets have increased or decreased. On an income statement, the total inflow of net assets resulting from the delivery of services and products to your customers is measured in revenue accounts, which in turn tells you what caused the net assets to increase or decrease. In addition, you can use a statement of income as a tool to compare the most recent year with past trends, thus forming a reasonable forecast for the future. The statement also helps you locate problem areas regarding sales, margins and expenses, and provides a method for you to investigate problem areas within a reasonable amount of time. When an income statement is prepared properly, the net increase or decrease in your net assets, or the difference between revenue and expense, is designated as net income or net loss. A net increase in net assets or net income is then added to your equity on your balance sheet. This tool examines the process of developing an income statement and explains the meaning of the components of an income statement."

Chapter Outline Study Objective 1 - Understand the Concept of Sustainable Income¨ The value of a company is a function of its future cash flows.¨ When analysts use this year's net income to estimate future cash flows, they must make sure that this year's net income does not include irregular revenues, expenses, gains or losses.¨ Net income adjusted for irregular items is referred to as sustainable income.¨ Sustainable income is the most likely level of income to be obtained in the future.§ Sustainable income differs from actual net income by the amount of irregular revenues, expenses, gains, and losses included in this year’s net income.§ Users are interested in sustainable income because it helps them derive an estimate of future earnings without the “noise” of irregular items. Study Objective 2 - Understand how Irregular Items are Presented¨ Irregular items are identified by type on the income statement. Three types of irregular items are reported - discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and changes in accounting principle.¨ Discontinued operations refers to the disposal of a significant component of a business, such as the elimination of a major class of customers or an entire activity.§ When the disposal of a significant component occurs, the income statement should report the gain (or loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax.§ To illustrate, assume that Rozek Inc. has revenues of $2.5 million and expenses of $1.7 million from continuing operations in 2004. The company therefore has income before income taxes of $800,000. During 2004 the company discontinued and sold its unprofitable chemical division. The loss on disposal of the chemical operations (net of $90,000 taxes) was $210,000. Assuming a 30% tax rate on income before income taxes, the income statement presentation would be as follows: ROZEK INC. Income Statement (partial)For the Year Ended December 31, 2004Income before income taxes $800,000Income tax expense 240,000Income before irregular items 560,000Discontinued operations Loss from disposal of chemical division, net of$90,000 income tax saving (210,000)Net Income $350,000¨ Extraordinary items are events and transactions that meet two conditions: They are unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence.§ To be considered unusual, the item should be abnormal and only incidentally related to customary activities of the entity.§ To be regarded as infrequent, the event or transaction should not be reasonably expected to recur in the foreseeable future.§ Both criteria must be evaluated in terms of the environment in which the entity operates.§ Extraordinary items are reported net of tax in a separate section of the income statement immediately below discontinued operations.§ Assume that in 2004 a revolutionary foreign government expropriated property held as an investment by Rozek Inc. If the loss is $70,000 before applicable income taxes of $21,000, the income statement presentation will show a deduction of $49,000, as illustrated below: ROZEK INC. Partial Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2004Income before income taxes $800,000Income tax expense 240,000Income before irregular items 560,000Discontinued operations: Loss from disposal ofchemical division, net of $90,000 income tax saving ( 210,000)Extraordinary item: Expropriation of investment,net of $21,000 income tax saving (49,000)Net income $301,000§ If a transaction or event meets one but not both of the criteria for an extraordinary item, it should be reported in a separate line item in the upper half of the income statement, rather than being reported in the bottom half as an extraordinary item.·"

Cost of goods sold (COGS) refer to the inventory costs of those goods a business has sold during a particular period. Costs are associated with particular goods using one of several formulas, including specific identification, first-in first-out (FIFO), or average cost. Costs include all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs of goods made by the business include material, labor, and allocated overhead. The costs of those goods not yet sold are deferred as costs of inventory until the inventory is sold or written down in value. No, it is not an asset, it is charged against revenue basically as an expense. Cost of goods manufactured, if not sold is inventory which is an asset. The key word is sold, if it is sold it is expensed.2 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

The Chart of Accounts is really just a list of the descriptions that you have chosen to use in transactions. Accounting Types help to organize the descriptions (accounts) in meaningful ways. The most important concept to transactions is Double Entry but it is the Chart of Accounts that makes sense of the transactions and provides mission critical information to owners and managers. The Basic Accounting Types (In order) Are: Assets – Things you own Liabilities – Things you owe Equity – Owners’ Stake in Company Revenue – Income through Sales of the Products of the Business Costs of Goods Sold – Costs to provide the service or to manufacture or acquire the product the business sells Expenses – Things that are paid for that are consumable, they have no lasting value but are part of the cost of running a business Other Revenue and Expenses – Revenue and Expenses that are unusual cases and are not directly related to the business product and are not usual costs of running a business. There are at least 7 basic Accounting Types, but each Accounting Type can be categorized more simply under the 2 Double Entry Accounting Categories as either Funds/Uses of Funds or as Sources of Funds. Funds/Use of Funds (Debit) Accounting Types: Assets – Things you own Costs of Goods Sold – Costs to provide the service or to manufacture or acquire the product the business sells Expenses – Things that are paid for that are consumable, they have no lasting value but are part of the cost of running a business Other Expenses – Expenses that are unusual cases and are not directly related to the business product and are not usual costs of running a business. Each Accounting Type under the “Funds/Use of Funds” Category increases in value or balance with each debit (Use of Funds) transaction entry and decreases in value or balance with each credit (Source of Funds) transaction entry. Use of Funds Accounts are sometimes referred to as Debit Accounts. ** Positive balances for these accounts are balances where total debits > total credits to the account and their balances should show in the Debit Column."

Most ratios can be calculated from information provided by the financial statements. Financial ratios can be used to analyze trends and to compare the firm's financials to those of other firms. In some cases, ratio analysis can predict future bankruptcy. Financial ratios can be classified according to the information they provide. The following types of ratios frequently are used: Liquidity ratios Asset turnover ratios Financial leverage ratios Profitability ratios Dividend policy ratios Liquidity Ratios Liquidity ratios provide information about a firm's ability to meet its short-term financial obligations. They are of particular interest to those extending short-term credit to the firm. Two frequently-used liquidity ratios are the current ratio (or working capital ratio) and the quick ratio. The current ratio is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities: Current Ratio=Current Assets Current Liabilities Short-term creditors prefer a high current ratio since it reduces their risk. Shareholders may prefer a lower current ratio so that more of the firm's assets are working to grow the business."

City officials can sometimes be held personally liable for failing to act or for taking unauthorized actions on the part of the city. To avoid personal-liability lawsuits, city officials should gain a working knowledge of the laws that regulate city government. Whenever there is any doubt about the validity of an action or procedure, city officials should consult their city attorney. Role of the individual councilmember Councilmembers’ statutory duties are to be performed, almost without exception, by the council as a whole. For example, the council, not individual members, must supervise administrative officers, formulate policies, and exercise city powers. Councilmembers should devote their official time to problems of basic policy and act as liaisons between the city and the general public. Councilmembers should be concerned, not only with the conduct of daily affairs, but also with the future development of the city. The most important single responsibility of a council member is participation at council meetings. In statutory cities, each councilmember, including the mayor, has full authority to make and second motions, participate in discussions, and vote on every matter before the council."

Overview Washington’s counties derive their powers from the state constitution. This establishes the legal framework for county government and lists the duties and powers of the governing bodies. Washington counties are organized under two forms of government: the commission form and the home rule charter form. Commission Form Article 11, section 5 of the Washington Constitution makes the commission form the standard form of county government throughout the state for counties that do not adopt a home rule charter and sets forth, in general terms, the governmental structure that all commission counties must have. Of Washington's 39 counties, 32 \"\"noncharter\"\" counties operate under the commission form of government provided by state law. The commission form is often referred to as the \"\"plural executive\"\" form of government. Under the commission form, the county governing body consists of a three-member board of commissioners, elected on a partisan basis, who serve as the county's legislative body and also perform executive functions. Counties with populations greater than 300,000 can increase the size of the commission from three to five members ( RCW 36.32.055 – 36.32.0558 ).

The Constitution of 1776 established the former colony’s first independent government. In this document, the South Carolina General Assembly discusses its grievances with Great Britain and outlines its new government. The Constitution was amended in 1777 when South Carolina became the second colony to ratify the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation were the first written constitution of the United States of America. On June 12, 1776, the Second Continental Congress appointed a committee of 13 delegates to draft a constitution that would unite the former colonies. The committee sent a final draft to the states for ratification November 15, 1777. The Articles set up rules for the operation of the United States government, including how to declare war and negotiate diplomacy, and they left all governmental functions not specifically granted to the national government to the states.

The Council is composed of a Chairman elected at large and twelve Members--four of whom are elected at large, and one from each of the District's eight wards. A Member is elected to serve a four-year term. The Home Rule Act is the result of the ongoing push by District residents for control of their own local affairs. The existing local government is the most expanded form of self-government since the establishment of the District as the seat of the federal government. In 1790 when the District was established on land ceded by Maryland and Virginia to the federal government only about 3,000 citizens lived in the area--far less than the 50,000 required to be a state. The people living in the federal district continued to vote in Maryland and Virginia respectively. President George Washington took a personal interest in developing the new capital and he appointed three commissioners to govern temporarily. The Commissioners called the new city \"\"The City of Washington\"\". During the next ten years, the city of Washington was developed, and, in 1800, though the Capitol was not completely constructed, the federal government moved from Philadelphia to Washington."

Slavery was a widely debated divisive issue for many years preceding the Civil War and there wereseveral attempts at conciliation. The first of these was the Missouri Compromise of 1820 (3 Stat.545), which decided the slavery question in regard to the creation of two new states, Missouri and Maine. The compromise declared that Maine was to be admitted as a free state, while Missouri wasallowed to enter the Union with no restrictions regarding slavery. Subsequently, however, Missourientered as a slave state. The compromise also prohibited the extension of slavery north of the36°30′ latitude which established the southern border of Missouri. The Compromise of 1850 (9 Stat. 452) settled another controversy concerning slavery andinstituted the doctrine of popular sovereignty, which permitted the residents of the area to decide thequestion."

In a parliamentary system, the head of state is usually a different person from the head of government. This is in contrast to a presidential system, where the head of state often is also the head of government and, most importantly, the executive branch does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature. Countries with parliamentary democracies may be constitutional monarchies, where a monarch is the head of state while the head of government is almost always a member of parliament (such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden and Japan), or parliamentary republics, where a mostly ceremonial president is the head of state while the head of government is regularly from the legislature (such as Ireland, Germany, India and Italy). In a few parliamentary republics, such as Botswana, South Africa, and Suriname, among some others, the head of government is also head of state, but is elected by and is answerable to parliament. In bicameral parliaments, the head of government is generally, though not always, a member of the lower house. Parliamentarism is the dominant form of government in Europe, with 32 of its 50 sovereign states being parliamentarian."

Thus this body served as a legislative, executive and a judicial body. Modeled after the British House of Lords, the Governor's Council went through a definite evolution, as the Virginia colony grew. During much of the colonial period, the governor was absentee and the lieutenant governor was the beneficiary of the council's advice. When both were absent, the longest serving member of the council, entitled the President of the council, would serve as acting governor. [ 1]During the Commonwealth of Oliver Cromwell between 1652 and 1660, the House of Burgesses elected the members of the council. After the restoration of the monarchy, the Crown again appointed the council, typically from among the landed and wealthy Virginia planters.

The other four are council-manager, commission, town meeting and representative town meeting. Mayor-council governments generally feature an elected executive officer called a mayor and an elected legislative body that is most often known as the city council. Depending on a city’s history or its relationship with the surrounding county, however, the legislative body might go by another name such as an urban-county council, a common council, a board of supervisors or a metro council. Similarly, the number of city council members varies widely. The Madison Common Council, for example, consists of 20 members, while the New York City City Council consists of 51 members. [ 1] [2]In a mayor-council government, the mayor and city council work together to balance and pass a budget, draft and enforce legislation and oversee city departments and appoint departmental heads. But the dynamics of how the mayor and city council work together depend on the type of mayor-council government that a city uses. Strong vs. weak mayor-council Mayor-council government can be broadly divided into two types: strong and weak. The difference centers on the scope of the mayor’s executive authority and legal power."

Many small towns use the council-manager system (most counties are run this way) and those that don’t, have a weak mayor-council system. Almost all large US cities have strong mayor systems. Towns with populations of 5,000 or less (varies between states) are not allowed to incorporate and are overseen by the county government. Mayors, and the city council, are directly elected. The length of a term and the number of term limits are in the city charter, as is the day of election. Most mayoral elections take place on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November to coincide with Federal elections, which take place then (as per the US Constitution), but not all municipalities do this. Forms of US local government More than eighty per cent of American citizens now live in large cities, suburbs of cities, or towns.

Under this system of government, the prime minister and his cabinet are responsible to the legislature, and universal suffrage exists for citizens over the age of eighteen. The clauses of the 1962 Constitution, which consists of 138 articles in 10 chapters, may be amended by majorities of two-thirds in both houses of Parliament or, if the Senate does not concur, with the approval of a special majority of the electorate voting in referendum. Jamaica's Constitution entitles anyone born on the island to Jamaican citizenship, which may be revoked if that person becomes a citizen of another country. Children and spouses of Jamaicans also may claim citizenship even if born outside of Jamaica. Chapter 3 of the Constitution grants all persons residing in Jamaica fundamental individual rights and freedoms, such as life, liberty, security of person, property ownership, and protection from arbitrary arrest or detention. The Constitution also guarantees freedom of conscience and expression, including freedom of speech and press; peaceful assembly and association, including the right to join a trade union; freedom of movement and residence within the country and of foreign travel, emigration, and repatriation; and due process of law, including protection against double jeopardy or retroactive punishment. The Constitution forbids inhumane treatment and racial, sexual, or political discrimination. Jamaican women are accorded full equality, and the 1975 Employment Act guarantees them equal pay for the same work. The legal status of women was reflected in the substantial number of women in influential positions in the civil service and government in the 1980s."

"text": "Government in Italy President, parliament, political parties and elections Italy - Culture Guide Forums Articles Italy was a monarchy from its unification in the second half of the 19th century until 1946, when it became a parliamentary republic following a national referendum. On 1st January 1948, it adopted a constitutional charter, which defines the political and civil liberties of citizens and the principles of government. Italy is headed by a President who appoints a Prime Minister, the elected head of government. The seat of government is Rome, where the President resides in the Palazzo del Quirinale, the chamber of deputies sits in the Palazzo Montecitorio and the senate occupies the Palazzo Madama. President The head of state is the President of the republic, who (at least in theory) represents the nation’s unity and ensures compliance with the constitution (under the direction of the constitutional court). He is elected every seven years by a college comprising both chambers of parliament and three representatives from each region. The minimum age for presidential candidates is 50. The current President, Giorgio Napolitano, took office in 2006. The President’s duties include appointing the Prime Minister, promulgating laws and decrees, authorising the presentation of government bills in parliament and, with parliamentary authorisation, ratifying treaties and declaring war. He may dissolve parliament (except during the last six months of his term of office), either on his own initiative in consultation with the presidents of both chambers or at the request of the government, and he has the power to call special sessions of parliament and delay legislation."

"text": "Councillors and Freedom of Information Regulations Introduction In this guidance freedom of information is taken to mean the rights to access information under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOI (S)A), the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) and the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EISRs). There are two main issues which need to be considered when discussing the relationship between freedom of information and councillors. The first issue is whether councillors are covered by the legislation. The second is to what extent local authorities hold information on behalf of councillors. Are councillors covered by the legislation? Schedule 1 of FOI (S)A sets out the bodies which are public authorities under FOI (S)A. Part 3 of Schedule 1 covers “local government”. The following bodies are specifically mentioned in Part 3: assessors, councils, joint boards, licensing boards and the Strathclyde Passenger Transport Authority. The problem comes, however, in deciding whether a councillor is acting as part of one of these bodies (referred to as “councils” in the rest of the document). There does not appear to be any set rules on when a councillor is and is not acting on behalf of a council. However, it is helpful to look at guidance which has been issued to councillors in respect of other legislation."

As the cast increases for Season 2 of #Netflix 's #The Crown, it looks like we have found our 35th President of the United States. Swapping serial killing for serial womanizing, #Dexter 's Michael C. Hall will be suiting up as doomed POTUS John F. Kennedy when the show returns — presumably later this year. After a slew of award nominations and wins, The Crown is set to grow in the second of six planned seasons, while adding the Dexter star to proceedings is sure to help the biographical drama outside the British Isles. Existing cast, like Claire Foy and Matt Smith, will return alongside newcomers when Season 2 picks up where last season left off. It is expected that Queen Elizabeth II will lose another Prime Minister to scandal as we head into the swinging '60s and the reign of the Kennedys. Ich Bin Ein Berliner'Dexter' [Credit: Showtime]Sadly, it appears we won't get a Dexter/Trinity Killer rematch from Showtime's show, as John Lithgow's term as Winston Churchill on Netflix's show came to an end last season. The Crown offers some of the best acting talent around, which may be why the second season is already attracting such big names. Claire Foy won a Golden Globe for best actress in her role as Queen Elizabeth II, so can Hall follow in her footsteps as the charismatic JFK? Happily, the show reports that Hall's credentials don't just limit him to a Kennedy lookalike: Former 'Dexter' star Hall’s JFK is most at home in front of a crowd — a natural leader and excellent public speaker who does not take kindly to being upstaged by anyone, especially his wife."

Thus, unlike other monarchs, he is not formally the head of state although he is portrayed and treated as though he were. The constitution, also called \"\"the Pacifist Constitution ,\"\" is most characteristic and famous for the renunciation of the right to wage war contained in Article 9 and to a lesser extent, the provision for de jure popular sovereignty in conjunction with the monarchy.— Excerpted from Constitution of Japan on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This 10-part production, which chronicles the lives of the Windsors from 1947 to 1956, is rumoured to have cost £100 million, which would make it the most expensive TV series in history. It may seem like an astonishing act of hubris for American streaming service Netflix (best known for House of Cards) to take on the ultimate British institution, but it comes with a strong pedigree. It humanises the Royal Family in a way that has never been seen before P eter Morgan is the writer behind the 2006 film The Queen and the 2013 stage play The Audience, both of which offered robust portraits of the Royal family. The director of the first two episodes, Stephen Daldry, has proved a powerfully creative force in both theatre and cinema, his 2000 film Billy Elliot an assured debut. It’s not hard to see Netflix’s motive here – The Crown is likely to draw new subscribers, arguably from an older, less technically savvy demographic, exactly the sort of audience attracted to epic costume drama. I predict they will triumph in this endeavour. Claire Foy and Matt Smith in The Crown Credit: Netflix T here are reports that the Royal family are anxious about The Crown. That’s no surprise – Morgan declined all offers of assistance in researching the script, stating that he did not want to be affiliated with the Palace in any way. However, it is clear from these episodes that all fears are unnecessary."

You may feel overwhelmed by the variety of matters demanding your attention. You may be challenged by complex issues, faced with controversial policies, or questioned by constituents. Understanding your role as a municipal councillor, as well as the role of council and staff, will assist you in addressing these situations and managing your time effectively. One of the first things you could do, if you have not already done so, is to develop a general understanding of a primary piece of legislation that is applicable to municipalities, which is the Municipal Act, 2001. The act is a legislative framework for municipalities that recognizes municipalities as mature local governments with a broad range of powers. The act balances increased local autonomy and flexibility with requirements for improved accountability and transparency of municipal operations. Role of Council Section 224 of the Municipal Act, 2001 is a good starting point, as it outlines the role of the municipal council:“224. It is the role of council,to represent the public and to consider the well-being and interests of the municipalityto develop and evaluate the policies and programs of the municipalityto determine which services the municipality providesto ensure that administrative policies, practices and procedures and controllership policies, practices and procedures are in place to implement the decisions of council (d.1) to ensure the accountability and transparency of the operations of the municipality, including the activities of the senior management of the municipalityto maintain the financial integrity of the municipality andto carry out the duties of council under this or any other act. ”Municipal councils have a broad range of responsibilities and work load."

In 1535, Jacques Cartier discovered a fairly large Iroquoian village, Stadacona, whose 1,000 or so inhabitants lived from fishing, hunting and the cultivation of corn. Sometime between 1543 and 1608, when Samuel de Champlain arrived at the site, Stadaconans had disappeared and been replaced by the occasional nomadic Algonquians, likely Montagnais-Naskapi . With a mandate from the king of France, Cartier wintered near Stadacona in 1535–36 and returned in 1541–42, spending a difficult winter at Cap Rouge, a few kilometres upriver, before heading home with barrels of worthless minerals ( see Diamonds of Canada ). Jean-François de la Rocque Roberval (1542–43) spent the following winter at Cap Rouge, but the failure of these early expeditions diminished French interest in the area, and a permanent settlement was not established until 1608 when Champlain founded a trading post."

Famously, the city of Winchester was given its charter in 1185, and the granting of freedoms became endorsed in Magna Carta, which was signed in 1215. The first formal municipality in Canada was the city of Saint John in New Brunswick, which received royal approval in 1785. For municipal government, this began an almost 50-year hiatus of receiving approval from the government, ending in the 1830s when the issue was placed on the agenda once again. In 1835, the British parliament passed the Municipal Corporations Act, which specified how municipalities were to function and be elected."

Government collects revenue [income] from taxes and uses this money to provide services and infrastructure that improves the lives of all the people in the country, particularly the poor. The Constitution of South Africa sets the rules for how government works. There are three spheres of government in South Africa: National government Provincial government Local government Each sphere of government is made up of three parts: The elected members – who represent the public and approve policies and laws The cabinet or executive committee – who co-ordinate the making of policies and laws and oversee implementation by the government departments The departments and civil servants – who are responsible for doing the work of government National Laws and policies are approved by the National Assembly (parliament) and the National Council of Provinces [NCOP]. The national assembly is made up of members of parliament, elected every five years. The NCOP is made up of representatives of provincial legislatures and local government. The president is elected by parliament and appoints a cabinet of ministers. They act as the executive committee of government and each minister is the political head of a government department. Each government department is responsible for implementing the laws and policies decided on by parliament or the cabinet. Government departments are headed by a Director General and employ directors [managers] and civil servants [staff] to do the work of government. Every department prepares a budget for its work."

St Ivo's Priory was built on the site where the body of Saint Ivo was discovered. [ citation needed]In 1085 William the Conqueror ordered that a survey should be carried out across his kingdom to discover who owned which parts and what it was worth. The survey took place in 1086 and the results were recorded in what, since the 12th century, has become known as the Domesday Book. Starting with the king himself, for each landholder within a county there is a list of their estates or manors; and, for each manor, there is a summary of the resources of the manor, the amount of annual rent that was collected by the lord of the manor both in 1066 and in 1086, together with the taxable value.

The religious wars began with overt hostilities in 1562 and lasted until the Edict of Nantes in 1598. It was warfare that devastated a generation, although conducted in rather desultory, inconclusive way. Although religion was certainly the basis for the conflict, it was much more than a confessional dispute. \"\" Une foi, un loi, un roi,\"\" (one faith, one law, one king). This traditional saying gives some indication of how the state, society, and religion were all bound up together in people's minds and experience. There was not the distinction that we have now between public and private, between civic and personal. Religion had formed the basis of the social consensus of Europe for a millenium. Since Clovis, the French monarchy in particular had closely tied itself to the church -- the church sanctified its right to rule in exchange for military and civil protection. France was \"\"the first daughter of the church\"\" and its king \"\"The Most Christian King\"\" (le roy tres chretien), and no one could imagine life any other way. \"\""

Its council is based in Sittingbourne. The district is named after the narrow channel called The Swale, a channel that separates the mainland of Kent from the Isle of Sheppey, and which occupies the central part of the district. The Roman Watling Street passed through the area, as witness the straightness of the A2 main road, now by-passed by the M2 motorway. Apart from the northern coast of the Isle of Sheppey, and the town of Sittingbourne, it is a mainly rural borough, containing a high proportion of the UK's apple, pear, cherry and plum orchards (the North Kent Fruit Belt), as well as many of its remaining hop gardens. Most of the southern half of the Borough lies within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, whilst Sittingbourne and the Isle of Sheppey forms the concluding part of the Thames Gateway growth area. [ 2]The district was formed in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, from the Borough of Faversham; the Borough of Queenborough-in-Sheppey, which covered the whole of Sheppey; the Sittingbourne and Milton Urban District; and Swale Rural District.

"text": "by Michael B. Bogdanow Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow, P. C. Boston, Massachusetts © April, 2004I. General Principles Although many practitioners assume that judgments and settlements are not taxable, the issue is not quite that simple. Under section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code (” I. R. C.” or the ” Code” ), damages awarded as a result of a lawsuit are taxable unless specifically excluded by another section of the Code. In general, the issue is determined by focusing on how the Code would treat the money or other loss which the damages are intended to replace. 1Under section 104 (a) (2) of the Code, damages received on account of personal physical injuries or physical sickness are excluded from gross income. This section provides the foundation for the view that most tort damages are not taxed. A 1996 amendment to the code changed the previous exclusion, which had applied to ” personal injuries or sickness,” and replaced it with the more restrictive provision ” personal physical injuries or physical sickness.” The amendment calls into question the applicability of a large body of pre-amendment case law permitting exclusions based on the broader ” personal injury” provision. The section 104 (a) (2) exclusion applies whether recovery is realized through a court judgment or a settlement agreement, 2 and even if the settlement was achieved without filing suit. 3 Thus, voluntary settlements achieved or damages awarded as a result of claims based on personal physical injuries are generally excludable from gross income. 4In general, damages awarded for breach of contract, 5 punitive damages 6 and the interest portion of a judgment are taxable."

Personal injury lawsuits are filed against the person or entity that caused the harm through negligence, gross negligence, reckless conduct, or intentional misconduct, and in some cases on the basis of strict liability.

The term personal injury also incorporates medical and dental accidents (which may lead to medical negligence claims ) and conditions that are often classified as industrial disease cases, including asbestosis and peritoneal mesothelioma, chest diseases (e.g., emphysema, pneumoconiosis, silicosis, chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic obstructive airways disease), vibration white finger, occupational deafness, occupational stress, contact dermatitis, and repetitive strain injury cases. Of these, the most common are automobile collisions. [ 5] Personal injury cases may also include toxic torts, in which a contaminant transmitted by air or water causes illness, injury, or death (as in John Grisham 's book, A Civil Action ). Some non-economical damages such as pain and suffering attributed to the damages, like for example having anxiety after a car accident, may be attributed to general damages that can be proved in court and may be entitled to monetary means of compensation.

There will be unusual or atypical cases, however, where the formulas generate results inconsistent with the support factors and objectives found in the Divorce Act and an appropriate result can only be achieved by departing from the formula. The term exceptions refers, under the Advisory Guidelines, to recognized categories of departures from the ranges of amounts and durations for spousal support under the formulas. Exceptions are the last step in a support determination in cases covered by formulas. The formulas provide two other opportunities, discussed above, to shape awards that are responsive to the exigencies of individual cases. First, the ranges for amount and duration provide considerable scope to adjust within those ranges to the particular facts of any case (Chapter 9). Second, restructuring provides a further means to push and pull amount and duration above and below the ranges generated by the formula (Chapter 10). Only if neither of these steps can accommodate the unusual facts of a specific case should it become necessary to resort to these exceptions."

"text": "It’s natural to wonder, “How will my lawsuit settlement be taxed?” Indeed, this is a question that should be addressed before even deciding to settle a personal-injury lawsuit in the first place, because the tax treatment of lawsuit settlements are treated differently, depending on whether the moneys are intended to reimburse a plaintiff for bodily injuries, damage to personal property, lost wages, etc. The last thing you want is to receive a settlement to make you and your loved ones whole, and then to have the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) come take much of it away. Damage to Property (Real Estate or Personal Property)An example of damage to property that could be reimbursed through a lawsuit settlement is in a common automobile collision case. If the settlement is meant to compensate the victim for the car’s lost value, generally that money does not need to be reported as income. Note that if the settlement exceeds the “adjusted basis” of the property—this is more common in a business context—then there will be tax implications, and it would be a good idea to consult with an accountant. Personal Injury (being Physically Hurt or Phys ically Sick)A person who has suffered a personal physical injury—like broken bones, soft-tissue nerve damage, etc.—does not need to pay taxes on settlement money related to that personal injury. But it’s important to remember that if the injured person has taken an income-tax deduction for the medical expenses in treating the injury, and any part of the settlement is to reimburse the victim for medical expenses, that portion must be declared as income. Again, this only applies where the injured person has taken a tax deduction in a prior year for medical expenses for treating the injury. Emotional Injury (Emotional Distress or Mental Anguish)If the emotional injury originates from a personal injury—like being physically hurt or sick—then these settlement funds are treated the same as those paid for physical injuries ( not taxable)."

"text": "Enhanced Compensation & Tax Implications : A Study in Reference to Compulsory Acquisition of Land I ntroduction Acquisition of land is a right inherent in every sovereign to take all appropriate private property belonging to individual citizens for public use. This right, which is described as Eminent Domain in the American Law, is liken the power of taxation and off-spring of political necessity, and it is supposed to be based upon an implied reservation by Government that private property by its citizens under its protection may be taken or its use for public benefit irrespective of the wishes of the owner. Article 31 (2) of the Constitution prescribes a two-fold limit within which such superior right of the State should be exercised. One limitation imposed upon acquisition of private property which is implied in the clause is that such taking must be done for a public purpose. The other is that no property can be taken, unless the law which authorizes such appropriation contains a provision for payment of compensation in the manner laid down in the clause. It cannot be disputed that acquisition means and implies the acquiring the entire the title of the expropriated owner, whatever the nature or extent of that title might be. The entire bundle of rights which were vested in the original holder would pass on the acquisition to the holder would pass on acquisition to the acquirer leaving nothing in the former. The simple definition of power to acquire compulsorily or of term “eminent domain” is the power of the sovereign to take property for public use without owner’s consent. The concept of public use has been inextricably related to an appropriate exercise of power and is considered essential in any statement of it meaning. Payment of compensation, though not an essential element of such connotation of the term is an essential element of valid exercise of power."

As you read through the responses from the legal advisor, you can gain insight into your own situation and understand some of the issues you need to consider before you sign your divorce papers. Is there a timeline for responding to a settlement offer? Should I sign off on the retirement if financial matters were reserved for a later date? Will we have a trial if we can't reach a settlement? What should I expect at the settlement conference? Is the settlement hearing necessary if we can reach an agreement? Can I jeopardize the settlement if I spend the weekend with him? Would a verbal settlement agreement be enforceable? Can we have a notarized agreement in addition to an uncontested divorce?"

From 1 July 2015, the term 'Australia' is replaced in nearly all instances within the GST, Luxury Car Tax, and Wine Equalisation Tax legislation with the term 'indirect tax zone' by the Treasury Legislation Amendment (Repeal Day) Act 2015 . The scope of the new term, however, remains the same as the now repealed definition of 'Australia' used in those Acts. This change was made for consistency of terminology across the tax legislation, with no change in policy or legal effect. For readability and other reasons, where the term 'Australia' is used in this document, it is referring to the 'indirect tax zone' as defined in subsection 195-1 of the GST Act.

A promissory note is a written promise to pay a specified amount of money with, or without, interest at a stated time or on demand. The main purpose of a promissory note is to serve as written evidence of the amount loaned, the interest rate, if any, and the terms under which the loan is to be repaid. Having a written instrument that sets forth the terms under which money is being loaned and borrowed can alleviate misunderstandings and disagreements when it comes time to repay the loan. If a disagreement later arises, as they often do when money is involved, both the lender and borrower will have the promissory note to resolve such misunderstandings. California Civil Code §1624 (a) may also require certain loans to be in writing."

"text": "\"Spousal Alimony and Support Spousal alimony or support is the payment from one spouse to another, often to make up for the reduced financial resources of the receiving spouse, or to compensate for that spouse's contribution to the home or the other spouse's career advancement. Alimony is not awarded as often as it was for previous generations because there are more marriages where both spouses work and are capable of supporting themselves. While alimony used to only be awarded to the wife, it may now be awarded to either spouse. There are roughly four different types of alimony: permanent, temporary, lump sum, or rehabilitative alimony. How much will be awarded depends on the laws of your state, the needs of each spouse, and the spouse's ability to pay spousal support. The length of payments and termination of support will be determined by your divorce decree, but alimony will generally end upon remarriage or cohabitation of the receiving spouse. You can also read the questions below for more information about spousal alimony. Is maintenance considered alimony? What is preliminary maintenance? How is eligibility for alimony determined?"

"text": "\"A SHORT AND SIMPLE GLIMPSE AT THE PROPERTY TAX IN NEW JERSEY ( Copy of the brochure in PDF for downloading)“Look at this bill. How come my property taxes are so high?”In order to answer that question, you need to consider all the factors that go into the computation of your property tax liability and how they can change, from year to year. Your tax is determined by six basic factors: 1) the market value of the property that you own; 2)the cost of municipal and county programs and services; 3)the costs of your local public schools; 4 the availability of other revenues to cover those costs; 5) the extent of the presence of tax exempt properties in your municipality and; 6) by the total value of all the taxable properties in your municipality. If your property was to become more valuable due to an event such as structural additions or renovations, and all other properties remained unchanged, your tax liability (bill) gets bigger. Increased value beyond average appreciation means that your property represents a larger portion of the value of the municipality and therefore it is assigned a larger portion of the “amount to be raised through property taxation.” If it costs more to deliver local government services and programs and to educate our public school kids or if the State and Federal governments impose new demands on local institutions and/or reduce funding back to local government, all else being equal, your tax bill gets bigger. If your local governments and school districts cannot count on other revenues keeping pace with inflation, all else being equal, your tax bill gets bigger. If the State exempts certain classes of property from local taxation or if previously taxable property is now being used for property tax exempt purposes, all else being equal, your tax bill gets bigger. And, if a large local industrial operation relocates or a big commercial business closes, all else being equal, your tax bill gets bigger. All else rarely remains equal."

The Court of First Instance went on to hold that ‘it would be incorrect ... to dissociate the activity of purchasing goods from the subsequent use to which they are put’, and that ‘the nature of the purchasing activity must ... be determined according to whether or not the subsequent use of the purchased goods amounts to an economic activity’. In particular, what, if any, discussions took place in relation to the rights of those holders?

A method and apparatus for inserting a working platform (19) into a wellbore, where the working platform is for subsequent use in creating an aperture in a casing of the wellbore, and/or for subsequent use in creating a borehole into the wellbore. Since it is the activity consisting in offering goods and services on a given market that is the characteristic feature of an economic activity, the CFI rightly deduced, in the judgment under appeal, that there is no need to dissociate the activity of purchasing goods from the subsequent useto which they are put in order to determine the nature of that purchasing activity, and that the nature of the purchasing activity must be determined according to whether or not the subsequent use of the purchased goods amounts to an economic activity. The Court of First Instance rightly deduced that there is no need to dissociate the activity of purchasing goods from the subsequent use to which they are put in order to determine the nature of that purchasing activity and that the nature of the purchasing activity must be determined according to whether or not the subsequent use of the purchased goods amounts to an economic activity. Management of contracts relating to providing and subsequent use of medical and nursing services, management of contracts relating to providing and subsequent use of medical clinic services, nursing services, medical services, services of a psychologist, consultancy in the field of health, alternative medicine, speech therapy services and telemedicine In Case C-205/03 P FENIN v Commission (judgment of July 2006, not yet published in the ECR), the Court, after recalling that ‘undertaking’ covers, in the context of Community competition law, any entity engaged in an economic activity, regardless of the legal status of that entity and the way in which it is financed, stated that, in that regard, it is the activity consisting in offering goods and services on a given market that is the characteristic feature of an economic activity, so that, for the purposes of assessing the nature of such an activity, there is no needto dissociate the activity of purchasing goods from the subsequent use to which they are put and that the nature of the purchasing activity must be determined according to the subsequent use of the purchased goods. Borrowing in US dollars to pay US dollar accounts payable and subsequently using US dollar cash flow to repay the loans and interest, is called a \"\"natural hedge\"\" -- that is, using US cash flow to pay US dollar debt eliminates the Canadian/US dollar foreign exchange risk. Secondly, maintaining that constructing and operating an airport only amounts to an economic activity once commercial aviation has successfully been attracted would lead to unacceptable conclusions: there is no cause to dissociate the preparatory activity of building or enlarging infrastructure from the subsequent commercial use to which it is put; indeed, the nature of the development activity must be determined according to whether or not the subsequent use of the infrastructure which has been built amounts to an economic activity (35)."

AVAILABILITY OF PUNITIVE DAMAGESIn Connecticut, punitive damages are awarded under either specific statutory provisions or the common law. No statute or practice rule, however, establishes a standard for punitive damages awards in general. Instead, various civil statutes provide for punitive damages awards in discrete situations. These statutes usually declare what the governing standard is; whether the award is mandatory or discretionary with the court or trier of fact; and what the amount should be, including whether it is subject to a maximum dollar figure. For example, for groundless or vexatious civil suits or defenses, CGS § 52-568 provides for mandatory double damages if the suit or defense was without probable cause, and treble damages if additionally the suit was motivated by \"\"a malicious intent unjustly to vex and trouble another person.\"\" A list of civil statutes authorizing punitive damages follows below. Where there is no controlling statutory provision, or the provision is silent as to the applicable standard, the courts allow punitive damages \"\"when the evidence shows a reckless indifference to the rights of others or an intentional or wanton violation of those rights\"\" ( Collens v. New Canaan Water Co., 155 Conn. 477, 489 (1967) (tort action asserting taking of water privileges), quoted with approval in Tessman v. Tiger Lee Construction Co., 228 Conn. 42, 54 (1993) (CUTPA action), see also, e.g., Champagne v. Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc., 212 Conn. 509, 532 (1989) (common law strict liability action); Markey v. Santangelo, 195 Conn. 76, 77 (1985) (common law assault and battery action); Triangle Sheet Metal Works, Inc. v. Silver, 154 Conn. 116, 128 (1966) (breach of contract action founded on tortious conduct)). AMOUNT OF PUNITIVE DAMAGESStatutes which provide for punitive damages awards usually specify their amount or establish a maximum dollar figure. Where punitive damages are awarded under the common law, or the applicable statute is silent as to their amount, the general rule is that they are limited to plaintiff's attorneys fees and nontaxable costs ( see Bodner v.

Volatility:- Very low for the reasons outlined above. This means that they tend to be odourless. Electrical conductivity:- In the solid state they are insulators as they have no charged particles which are free to move, they are all locked into position in the lattice.

Functional groups will undergo the same type of reactions regardless of the compound of which they are a part; however, the presence of certain functional groups within close proximity can limit reactivity. Functional groups can be used to distinguish similar compounds from each other. Key Termsfunctional group: A specific grouping of elements that is characteristic of a class of compounds, and determines some properties and reactions of that class.functionalization: Addition of specific functional groups to afford the compound new, desirable properties. The Role of Functional Groups In organic chemistry, a functional group is a specific group of atoms or bonds within a compound that is responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of that compound. The same functional group will behave in a similar fashion, by undergoing similar reactions, regardless of the compound of which it is a part. Functional groups also play an important part in organic compound nomenclature; combining the names of the functional groups with the names of the parent alkanes provides a way to distinguish compounds. The atoms of a functional group are linked together and to the rest of the compound by covalent bonds. The first carbon atom that attaches to the functional group is referred to as the alpha carbon; the second, the beta carbon; the third, the gamma carbon, etc."

"text": "Home > High School > AP Chemistry > Notes > Ionic and Metallic Bonding Enduring Understanding 2. C.2, 2D: Ionic and Metallic Bonding Ionic Bonding results from the net Coulombic attraction of positively and negatively charged anions packed together in a regular crystal lattice. Coulombic force is proportional to charge, so higher charges result in stronger interactions. Coulombic force is inversely proportional to (the square of) distance, so smaller ions that can pack more closely together will have stronger interactions. Example: Which of the following would have the more exothermic lattice energy, Na F or KBr? Na F would have a more exothermic lattice energy (-922 k J/mol vs. -688 k J/mol) because it is composed of smaller ions that can pack more tightly together. In ionic compounds, electrons are tightly held by the ions, and the ions cannot move translationally relative to each other. This explains many properties of ionic solids. They are hard and brittle, they are not malleable or ductile (i.e. cannot be shaped without cracking/breaking), and they do not conduct electricity. Metallic bonding describes a lattice of positively charged ions, surrounded by a mobile 'sea' of valence electrons."

"text": "\"Skills to Develop To understand the differences between covalent and ionic bonding. The atoms in all substances that contain multiple atoms are held together by electrostatic interactions—interactions between electrically charged particles such as protons and electrons. Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged species (positive and negative) results in a force that causes them to move toward each other, like the attraction between opposite poles of two magnets. In contrast, electrostatic repulsion between two species with the same charge (either both positive or both negative) results in a force that causes them to repel each other, as do the same poles of two magnets. Atoms form chemical compounds when the attractive electrostatic interactions between them are stronger than the repulsive interactions. Collectively, the attractive interactions between atoms are called chemical bonds. Chemical bonds are generally divided into two fundamentally different types: ionic and covalent. In reality, however, the bonds in most substances are neither purely ionic nor purely covalent, but lie on a spectrum between these extremes. Although purely ionic and purely covalent bonds represent extreme cases that are seldom encountered in any but very simple substances, a brief discussion of these two extremes helps explain why substances with different kinds of chemical bonds have very different properties. Ionic compounds consist of positively and negatively charged ions held together by strong electrostatic forces, whereas covalent compounds generally consist of molecules, which are groups of atoms in which one or more pairs of electrons are shared between bonded atoms."

Being the sulfur analogue of an alcohol group (-OH), this functional group is referred to either as a thiol group or a sulfhydryl group . More traditionally, thiols are often referred to as mercaptans. In organic chemistry, \"\"sulfide\"\" usually refers to the linkage C-S-C, although the term thioether is less ambiguous. For example, the thioether dimethyl sulfide is CH 3 -S-CH 3 . Polyphenylene sulfide has the empirical formula C 6 H 4 S. Occasionally, the term sulfide refers to molecules containing the -SH functional group. For example, methyl suflide can mean CH 3 -SH. The preferred descriptor for such SH-containing compounds is thiol or mercaptan, i.e. methanethiol or methyl mercaptan. A disulfide bond is a single covalent bond derived from the coupling of thiol groups. The linkage is also called an SS-bond or disulfide bridge."

"text": "Gas Chromatography : Module 7Types of Stationary Phases“Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement, nothing can be done without hope and confidence” — Helen Keller Most of the time a Gas Chromatographer is fortunate as he has to use a column specified for a particular method but there is a tendency to use the same column even though it is not the best choice for other samples. Apart from the basic column characteristics discussed in previous module stationary phase choice is a critical decision for achieving the right analytical conditions. Stationary phases are required for both Gas Solid Chromatography (GSC) and Gas Liquid Chromatography (GLC). Gas Solid Chromatography separates components in the carrier gas stream by selective adsorption on solid stationary phase whereas in GLC the components are bound to the liquid layer adsorbed on the solid support.

Physically, post-transition metals are soft (or brittle), have poor mechanical strength, and have melting points lower than those of the transition metals. Being close to the metal-nonmetal border, their crystalline structures tend to show covalent or directional bonding effects, having generally greater complexity or fewer nearest neighbours than other metallic elements. Chemically, they are characterised—to varying degrees—by covalent bonding tendencies, acid-base amphoterism and the formation of anionic species such as aluminates, stannates, and bismuthates (in the case of aluminium, tin, and bismuth, respectively). They can also form Zintl phases (half-metallic compounds formed between highly electropositive metals and moderately electronegative metals or metalloids). The name is universally used, but not officially sanctioned by any organization such as the IUPAC. The origin of the term is unclear: one early use was in 1940 in a chemistry text. [ 8] Alternate names for this group are B-subgroup metals, other metals, and p-block metals; and at least eleven other labels."

In organic chemistry, a thiol ( / ˈ θ aɪ ɔː l /, / ˈ θ aɪ ɒ l /) [1] is an organosulfur compound that contains a carbon-bonded sulfhydryl (R–SH) group (where R represents an alkyl or other organic substituent). Thiols are the sulfur analogue of alcohols (that is, sulfur takes the place of oxygen in the hydroxyl group of an alcohol), and the word is a portmanteau of \"\"thion\"\" + \"\"alcohol,\"\" with the first word deriving from Greek θεῖον ( theion) = \"\"sulfur\"\". [ 2] The –SH functional group itself is referred to as either a thiol group or a sulfhydryl group. Many thiols have strong odors resembling that of garlic or rotten eggs. Thiols are used as odorants to assist in the detection of natural gas (which in pure form is odorless), and the \"\"smell of natural gas\"\" is due to the smell of the thiol used as the odorant. Thiols are sometimes referred to as mercaptans. [ 3] [4] The term mercaptan / m ər ˈ k æ p t æ n / [5] was introduced in 1832 by William Christopher Zeise and is derived from the Latin mercurium captāns (capturing mercury) [6] because the thiolate group bonds very strongly with mercury compounds.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The glass–liquid transition or glass transition for short is the reversible transition in amorphous materials (or in amorphous regions within semicrystalline materials) from a hard and relatively brittle \"\"glassy\"\" state into a viscous or rubbery state as the temperature is increased. [ 1] An amorphous solid that exhibits a glass transition is called a glass. The reverse transition, achieved by supercooling a viscous liquid into the glass state, is called vitrification. The glass-transition temperature T g of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs. It is always lower than the melting temperature, T m, of the crystalline state of the material, if one exists. Hard plastics like polystyrene and poly (methyl methacrylate) are used well below their glass transition temperatures, that is in their glassy state. Their T g values are well above room temperature, both at around 100 °C (212 °F). Rubber elastomers like polyisoprene and polyisobutylene are used above their T g, that is, in the rubbery state, where they are soft and flexible. [ 2]Despite the change in the physical properties of a material through its glass transition, the transition is not considered a phase transition; rather it is a phenomenon extending over a range of temperature and defined by one of several conventions. [ 3] [4] Such conventions include a constant cooling rate (20 kelvins per minute (36 °F/min)) [1] and a viscosity threshold of 10 12 Pa·s, among others."

"text": "\"A MOLECULAR COMPARISON OF GASES, LIQUIDS, AND SOLIDSGases consist of a collection of widely separated particles in constant, chaotic motion. The average energy of the attractions between the particles is much smaller than their average kinetic energy. The lack of strong attractive forces between particles allows a gas to expand to fill its container. In liquids the intermolecular attractive forces are stronger than in gases and are strong enough to hold particles close together. Thus, liquids are much denser and far less compressible than gases. Unlike gases, liquids have a definite volume, independent of the size and shape of their container. The attractive forces in liquids are not strong enough, however, to keep the particles from moving past one another. Thus, any liquid can be poured, and it assumes the shape of whatever portion of its container it occupies. In solids the intermolecular attractive forces are strong enough to hold particles close together and to lock them virtually in place. Solids, like liquids, are not very compressible because the particles have little free space between them."

"text": "\"Functional Groups and Biomolecules Identifying Functional Groups Reactive atoms such as oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus are present in many organic molecules. Because the chemical behavior of many reactive atoms or groups of atoms is well characterized, the presence and position of specific functional groups on an organic molecule can be used to predict the chemical behavior of that biomolecule. Functional groups are a set of commonly found groups of atoms covalently bonded to carbon in organic molecules. The unique functional groups present on a biomolecule determine reactivity, solubility, and other physical properties that lead to its biological role in living organisms. Understanding how common functional groups affect chemical reactivity improves our ability to understand the chemical behavior and cellular roles of all biomolecules. In structural models depicting functional groups, a common convention is using a capital R to represent the rest, or remainder, of a molecule. R often represents a simple hydrocarbon chain, but can represent more complex organic arrangements when they are not relevant to the topic of discussion. As a general rule, the dash in R― indicates a single covalent bond between the functional group and a carbon atom located in the remainder of the molecule. Alcohols Alcohols are biomolecules that contain at least one hydroxyl group (R―OH). The simplest of all oxygen-containing functional groups, hydroxyl groups add polarity to organic molecules because of the strong electronegative nature of oxygen atoms."

In most cases, coyote bites are the result of people attempting to feed the pests, as coyotes get nervous when approached by humans. Coyotes also prey on cats and small dogs, forage in gardens for fruits and vegetables, knock over trash bins looking for meals, and eat pet food that's been left out overnight. The pests can spread diseases like distemper, hepatitis, mange, rabies, and tularemia. Control & Removal Given the risk of physical injury and disease transmission, people should never approach coyotes. If property owners encounter the pests on their lawns or in their neighborhoods, the best way to handle the situation is to contact professional wildlife control. The wildlife technicians at Critter Control know how to safely remove coyotes and the potential dangers the pests can pose.

"text": "The most densely populated country in Central America, El Salvador is a small Central American nation -- about the size of Massachusetts -- that lies nestled between Honduras, Guatemala and the Pacific Ocean. Topographically, the country features a small coastal plain and central plateau, both of which have tropical climates; however, most of the country is mountainous and has a temperate climate. A number of potentially dangerous animals inhabit the country, including snakes, invertebrates, sharks and crocodiles. Snakes Several dangerously venomous snakes inhabit El Salvador. Coral snakes (Micrurus sp.) are dangerous, snake-eating elapids who are ringed in red, yellow and black. Cantils (Agkistrodon bilineatus), jumping vipers (Atropoides occinduus), mountain pit vipers (Cerrophidion godmani), hognosed pit vipers (Porthidium ophryomegas) and Central American rattlesnakes (Crotalus simus) are all venomous pit vipers native to the country. Several mildly venomous colubrids inhabit the country, but human cases of envenomation are rare. Crocodilians The American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) lives along the coast of El Salvador and is the largest crocodilian found in the region -- occasionally exceeding 20-feet in length. Two smaller crocodilians, the spectacled caiman (Caiman crocodilus crocodilus) and the brown caiman (Caiman crocodilus fuscus) also live in El Salvador but don't reach such large sizes."

L. Nichols In the Native American oral tradition, the vulgar but sacred Trickster assumes many forms. He can be Old-Man Coyote among the Crow tribes, Raven in northwestern Indian lore, or, more generically, \"\"The Tricky One\"\" (such as Wakdjunkaga among the Winnebago or Manabozho among the Menomini), to mention just a few of his manifestations. As will be suggested by the tales below, Trickster alternately scandalizes, disgusts, amuses, disrupts, chastises, and humiliates (or is humiliated by) the animal-like proto-people of pre-history, yet he is also a creative force transforming their world, sometimes in bizarre and outrageous ways, with his instinctive energies and cunning. Eternally scavenging for food, he represents the most basic instincts, but in other narratives, he is also the father of the Indian people and a potent conductor of spiritual forces in the form of sacred dreams. Here is a short summary of a Nez Perce tale of Coyote as Creator-father, as told by Terri J. Andrews (click here to see the full article). Coyote and the Monster A long, long time ago, people did not yet inhabit the earth. A monster walked upon the land, eating all the animals--except Coyote. Coyote was angry that his friends were gone. He climbed the tallest mountain and attached himself to the top. Coyote called upon the monster, challenging it to try to eat him."

Sharon Levy16 May 2012PDF Rights & Permissions KITCHIN AND HURST/ALL CANADA PHOTOS/CORBISWolf genes make the coyotes of northeastern North America bigger and stronger than those elsewhere. Near the dawn of time, the story goes, Coyote saved the creatures of Earth. According to the mythology of Idaho's Nez Perce people, the monster Kamiah had stalked into the region and was gobbling up the animals one by one. The crafty Coyote evaded Kamiah but didn't want to lose his friends, so he let himself be swallowed. From inside the beast, Coyote severed Kamiah's heart and freed his fellow animals. Then he chopped up Kamiah and threw the pieces to the winds, where they gave birth to the peoples of the planet. European colonists took a very different view of the coyote ( Canis latrans) and other predators native to North America. The settlers hunted wolves to extinction across most of the southerly 48 states."

However, all animals suffer from diseases and parasites, including humans who have more diseases and parasites than wolves. In fact, humans suffer from more than 100,000 diseases. That is 1000 times the number of diseases attributed to wolves. Therefore, it is unfair to demonize the wolf for being a mortal animal with potential health problems that all animals suffer from. Because wolves travel great distances, they may play an important role in spreading and maintaining diseases in certain areas. Infectious diseases spread by wolves include brucellosis, tularemia, listeriosis and anthrax. Canine distemper seems to only pose a serious problem for wolves in Canada and Alaska. It is a very contagious disease caused by a microscopic virus. The disease often centers on the skin, eye membranes, and intestinal tract, and occasionally the brain."

As this mother coyote foraged behind some low bushes, dog owners with their mostly leashed dogs walked by on a path about 100 feet away: they stopped and looked at her, though it might have been better if they had just walked on. None of the dogs approached her, though they might have communicated some kind of negativity through their facial expressions and body language. The coyote apparently didn’t like them looking at her, or she didn’t like their negative communication. OR, the dogs may simply have been too close for comfort. I was concentrating on her, so I couldn’t see what the issue was. Note that she begins her complaining with little grunts and heaves: it’s an emotional and distressed reaction. As she initially grunts and heaves, she hasn’t decided to go all out with her barking. But soon, she lets loose. All the dog walkers “got it” once I explained to them what was going on: that this was an edgy mother and coyotes don’t like dogs around them."

Link/Page Citation Byline: Troy Anderson Staff Writer Coyotes roaming the hills of Los Angeles carry at least one disease previously undetected locally, which in rare situations could pose a threat to people and their pets, public health authorities said. Veterinarians are voicing new fears because a dog that was bitten by a coyote in Woodland Hills has contracted the rare disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has asked a researcher to investigate the illness, which surfaced in a Danish schipperkes dog that was bitten by a coyote June 13. It contracted what a veterinarian believes is a strain of bartonella. The dog has had a 104-degree fever and its eyes were bleeding internally, causing blindness. The owner feared she would have to put her dog to sleep, but the dog seems to be recovering. ``I think the situation is a lot worse than they are telling people,'' said Julie Didier, who owns 6-year-old Sugar Bear. ``I think it's a political hot potato, and they don't want to face the facts that these coyotes are overpopulated here.'' As a result of the Woodland Hills case and others, researchers are investigating whether Bartonella vinsonii found in about 30 percent of coyotes in California could be transmitted to people."

They are nocturnal, which means that they only come out to hunt and thrive during the evening hours. Coyotes are afraid of humans and this makes them even harder to observe and it is said that there are many more wolves than coyotes because of this reason. Wolves can easily adapt to their habitats being moved or destroyed by humans but coyotes do everything in their power to avoid humans. But the coyote behavior and they way the animals react to each other does not change. Coyotes inhabit most of the United States, Canada and Central America. They are a bit smaller than a medium sized dog and they have characteristics that set them apart from wolves and dogs. Their fur is a gray to tan color and they have bushy tails. They have large triangle shaped ears and a narrow, longer nose. A coyote has yellow eyes and a black nose and there is a way to quickly tell them apart from wolves or dogs."

The word \"\"coyote\"\" was originally a Spanish corruption of the Nahuatl (Aztec) word for the animal, coyotl. From there it was borrowed into English. Sponsored Links Coyote is a major mythological figure for most Native American tribes, especially those west of the Mississippi. Like real coyotes, mythological coyotes are usually notable for their crafty intelligence, stealth, and voracious appetite. However, American Indian coyote characters vary widely from tribe to tribe. In some Native American coyote myths, Coyote is a revered culture hero who creates, teaches, and helps humans; in others, he is a sort of antihero who demonstrates the dangers of negative behaviors like greed, recklessness, and arrogance; in still others, he is a comic trickster character, whose lack of wisdom gets him into trouble while his cleverness gets him back out. In some Native coyote stories, he is even some sort of combination of all three at once. Among the Pueblo tribes, the coyote was believed to have hunting medicine. Zuni hunters kept stone effigies of coyotes as one of their six hunting fetishes, associating coyotes with the west and the color blue."

These graceful creatures have a wide variety of benefits for people cultivating a self-sustaining lifestyle. A single llama can provide large quantities of wool for spinning, matting for blanket and cushion fill, and even insulation. They breed easily and can be used for meat as well as milk. If you like to hike for pleasure, or need to carry materials around the property, llamas are great beasts of burden and can carry a large amount of weight easily. Best of all, even a single llama will make a formidable guardian for other livestock and your property. Llamas can even be taught to drive and are excellent cart animals that require less care than horses kept for the same purpose. Llamas are relatively easy to care for in spite of their large size. If you have a little bit of land, you can probably keep one or two llamas very easily. When a single llama is kept for a guardian, wool, and as a companion for other herd oriented livestock, a gelding is preferable."

They are very common across the entire United States but are rarely seen in our cities because of their shy, solitary, reclusive nature. Bobcats belong to the lynx family, and are typically 20-40 lbs. Their coat tends to be a light brownish-blonde, with dark spots on the flanks, legs, and side. Other distinguishing features are their tufted, pointed ears with large, black spots on the backside, short bobbed tails (4-6 inches in length) and their rear legs being disproportionately longer than their front legs. What Do Bobcats Eat? Bobcats eat a variety of animal species, including mice, rats, squirrels, chickens, small fawns, wild birds, feral cats, cottontail and rabbits. It’s very unlikely, but possible, that free-roaming cats or small dogs left outside unattended might be taken as well. Bobcats are thriving in the DFW Metroplex, and have for many years. Locally, they tend to breed in February, having a litter of 2-3 kittens in April."

Most importantly, the wolf was the first animal to ever be domesticated by man, a process still shrouded in mystery that took place well over 10,000 years ago. They have been our dearest friends and direst enemies, and yet there is still so much we don’t know about them.10Black Wolves Fact: Black wolves don’t occur naturally. A 2008 study at Stanford University found that the mutation responsible for black fur occurs only in dogs, so black wolves are the result of gray wolves breeding back with domestic canines. The mutation is a dominant trait, like dark hair in humans, and is passed down to the majority of offspring. It is not entirely clear what benefit black fur has for the animals; they do not seem to be more successful hunters, but do show a marked improvement in immunity to certain infections. Black wolves are far more common in North America than they are in the rest of the world.9Hybrid Wolf Fact: A large percentage of coyotes are actually wolf hybrids. In areas where wolves have been largely eliminated, coyotes have thrived. Over the last few years, large populations have moved east, into suburban areas and even major cities like New York and Chicago."

I must first say… I like pit bulls. Properly bred, trained, managed… they are a good, safe, fun family dog. If you do it right, then they make great pets. Also, there are times when it is OK and normal for a dog to bite. Not all dog bites are bad things. We get dogs to protect our property and our families, to protect livestock and to hunt animals. There are also times when an innocent dog is set up to bite an innocent person, and then it is the owner that is really the one at fault, even though often times the dog is unjustly sentenced to death."

"text": "\"The trickster is an alchemist, a magician, creating realities in the duality of time and illusion. In mythology, and in the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a god, goddess, spirit, man, woman, or anthropomorphic animal who plays tricks or otherwise disobeys normal rules and conventional behavior. It is suggested by Hansen (2001) that the term \"\"Trickster\"\" was probably first used in this context by Daniel G. Brinton in 1885. The trickster deity breaks the rules of the gods or nature, sometimes maliciously (for example, Loki) but usually with ultimately positive effects. Often, the rule-breaking takes the form of tricks (eg. Eris) or thievery. Tricksters can be cunning or foolish or both; they are often very funny even when considered sacred or performing important cultural tasks. In many cultures, (as may be seen in Greek, Norse or Slavic folktales, along with Native American/First Nations lore), the trickster and the culture hero are often combined. To illustrate: Prometheus, in Greek mythology, stole fire from the gods to give it to humans. He is more of a culture hero than a trickster."

"text": "Coyote Behavior All About Coyote Behavior Coyote behavior can be a difficult thing to learn about because these animals are so elusive. They are nocturnal, which means that they only come out to hunt and thrive during the evening hours. Coyotes are afraid of humans and this makes them even harder to observe and it is said that there are many more wolves than coyotes because of this reason. Wolves can easily adapt to their habitats being moved or destroyed by humans but coyotes do everything in their power to avoid humans. But the coyote behavior and they way the animals react to each other does not change. Coyotes inhabit most of the United States, Canada and Central America. They are a bit smaller than a medium sized dog and they have characteristics that set them apart from wolves and dogs. Their fur is a gray to tan color and they have bushy tails. They have large triangle shaped ears and a narrow, longer nose. A coyote has yellow eyes and a black nose and there is a way to quickly tell them apart from wolves or dogs."

Man-eater is a colloquial term for an individual animal that preys on humans as a pattern of hunting behavior. This does not include the scavenging of corpses, a single attack born of opportunity or desperate hunger, or the incidental eating of a human that the animal has killed in self-defense. However, all three cases (especially the last two) may habituate an animal to eating human flesh or to attacking humans, and may foster the development of man-eating behavior. Although human beings can be attacked by many kinds of animals, man-eaters are those that have incorporated human flesh into their usual diet and actively hunt and kill humans. Most reported cases of man-eaters have involved lions, tigers, leopards, [1] [2] and crocodilians. However, they are by no means the only predators that will attack humans if given the chance; a wide variety of species have also been known to adopt humans as usual prey, including bears, Komodo dragons, and hyenas.

Contact Author Arctic Fox | Source We all know that dogs, specifically classified as Canis familiaris, are some of the most commonly kept pets in many nations, but what about other members of the biological family Canidae? Can animals like wolves, foxes, and coyotes be kept as pets? Of course! As a general rule, it is achievable by private owners to keep most animals that zoos do (in fact, some zoo animals in un-accredited facilities are essentially pets), provided they do not have extremely expensive requirements, such as sea lions and king penguins, and are legal. Yes, even pet tigers are doable if you have the space and know-how. Most of these animals however are not for people new to the care of animals with more ‘extreme’ characteristics. In other words, these species are not popular pets for a reason—they may have bad house manners, a need for large enclosures, and require an owner with the flexibility to adapt to unexpected behaviors. All photos ( Tambako The Jaguar (CC BY-ND 2.0) Via Flickr) unless stated otherwise Most people find so-called exotic pets more trouble than they’re worth, but others live for the challenge of these unique animals and may even customize their homes to meet their needs. Responsible exotic pet owners buy from reputable breeders and research their selected species before and after purchase I have already listed and described the exotic cats that are somewhat commonly kept as pets."

"text": "\"Gray Wolf ( Canis lupus)Questions and Answers about Gray Wolf Biology PDF Version Photo by Corel Corp. (copyrighted)1) Why was the gray wolf listed as endangered? Wolves became nearly extinct in the conterminous 48 states in the early part of the 20th century. Predator-control programs targeted wolves, and wolf habitat was altered and destroyed as eastern forests were logged and then converted to farms. Woodland caribou, bison, and beaver, the wolves’ prey base, were also brought to near-extinction by settlers and market hunters. Predator-control programs, loss of habitat, and loss of prey resulted in the elimination of wolves throughout most of the conterminous U. S. except in northeastern Minnesota and Isle Royale, Michigan. A few individuals also remained in the northern Rocky Mountains.2) What types of habitat do wolves use? Gray wolves use so many different habitat types that they are equally at home in the deserts of Israel, the deciduous forests of Wisconsin, and the frozen arctic of Siberia. Within North America, gray wolves formerly ranged from coast to coast with the exception of the mid-Atlantic states, the Southeast, and perhaps parts of California. They were found in almost all habitat types; prairie, forest, mountains, and wetlands. In the conterminous 48 states today, they are found in mostly forested lands in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming."

However, all animals suffer from diseases and parasites, including humans who have more diseases and parasites than wolves. In fact, humans suffer from more than 100,000 diseases. That is 1000 times the number of diseases attributed to wolves. Therefore, it is unfair to demonize the wolf for being a mortal animal with potential health problems that all animals suffer from. Because wolves travel great distances, they may play an important role in spreading and maintaining diseases in certain areas. Infectious diseases spread by wolves include brucellosis, tularemia, listeriosis and anthrax. Canine distemper seems to only pose a serious problem for wolves in Canada and Alaska. It is a very contagious disease caused by a microscopic virus. The disease often centers on the skin, eye membranes, and intestinal tract, and occasionally the brain."

In Washington, these intelligent and adaptable animals now manage to occupy almost every conceivable habitat type, from open ranch country to densely forested areas to downtown waterfront.

"text": "Meet Canis Latrans The coyote (scientific name: Canis latrans or “barking dog”) is one of the world’s most adaptable animals. The coyote is a native species that has increased its range as a result of human alteration of the landscape and human intolerance of wolves, the coyote’s natural enemy. Once confined to the Great Plains region, it can now be found throughout many parts of North and Central America and is represented by 19 or 20 subspecies. Eastern vs. Western Coyotes One of these subspecies is the eastern coyote ( Canis latrans thamnos) found in New England and other parts of the Northeast, along with southeastern Canada. Our coyotes are descendants of Great Plains coyotes that expanded their range to the north and east as forests were cut and wolves were extirpated. Eastern coyote DNA reveals that, as coyotes spread through southern Canada, they occasionally interbred with the wolves they encountered. As a result, our eastern coyotes are larger than their western counterparts. With a typical weight of 30-50 pounds and a length of 48-60 inches (nose to tail), they can sometimes reach twice the size of their more diminutive relatives. Because there are no wolves in Rhode Island, our coyotes are not actively cross-breeding and are not “coywolves.” They are coyotes with some wolf genes they picked up along the way to New England."

Though a howling session may include “barks”, these are not distressed sounding as is the case when a dog intrudes upon a coyote. When I heard the howl associated with the fire engine siren (3), I could hear another coyote far, far in the distance responding in the same way! I’m wondering if this is a coyote “community” response? ! I have included six recordings of howls (1-4 & 6-7). Five were elicited by fire engine sirens early in the morning.

To me the all look alike.2 following 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Interesting question... I work at an airport where we get Coyotes on the Runway very often... I have wondered what the difference was myself.... here's what I found :) The coyote (Canis latrans, meaning \"\"barking dog\"\") also prairie wolf ) is a member of the Canidae (dog) family and a close relative of the Gray Wolf. There are 19 recognized subspecies of coyotes (Voigt and Berg, 1999). The coyote looks very similar to the endangered red wolf in profile. They have similar size, color and head shape. The coyote can be identified by its thick, bushy tail, which it often holds low to the ground. It can be distinguished from its much larger relative, the Gray Wolf, by its overall slight appearance compared to the massive size and stockiness of the bigger canid, which typically weighs 34 to 57 kilograms (74 to 125 lb). The northeast coyote and the Cape Cod coyote are thought to be a hybrid with the Red Wolf (Parker 1995). Coyotes can also hybridize and produce fertile offspring with Gray Wolves and domestic dogs. However, practical constraints such as the timing of estrus cycles and the need for both parents to care for the pups limit such crosses in the wild."

State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry. 216pp. Order: Carnivora Family: Canidae Description: The coyote is a medium-sized wild canid with slender legs, small feet, prominent erect pointed ears, and a narrow pointed muzzle. The 30.5-38.1 cm (12-15 in) tail is bushy and drooping. Each foot has four clawed toes which support the weight. A fifth toe on each foot is reduced in size, bears a dew claw, and does not touch the ground. The rather course fur consists of long guard hairs that overlap the dense underfur. The yellowish eyes have round pupils."

Other members of Canidae include foxes, wolves, jackals, and all breeds of domesticated dog. The coyote's scientific name is Canis latrans, which means \"\"barking dog\"\". The coyote is so closely related to the domesticate dog that breeding is possible. These hybrids are referred to as \"\"coydogs\"\". Coyotes vary in coloration from tan to gray. Those found at higher elevations have darker, thicker, and longer fur, while those inhabiting lower elevations. The coyote stands 15-20 inches at the shoulder, and measures 40-60 inches in length.photo M. Noonan Coyote Habitat/Diet The coyote's range is vast - extending from Alaska to Central America, and California to New England. The coyote has adapted well to human occupation, primarily due to decreased competition from wolves. Humans have reduced the territory inhabited by wolves, allowing for such expansion.photo M. Noonan The coyote's principal diet consists of mice, rabbits, ground squirrels, other small rodents, insects, reptiles, fruits, and berries."

Credit: Scott Smith Coyotes are members of the Canidae family and share a lot of the same traits of their relatives: wolves, dogs, foxes and jackals. They have narrow, elongated snouts, lean bodies, yellow eyes, bushy tails and thick fur. Known for howling at the moon, coyotes hunt at night and howl to communicate their location. They are also known for being \"\"wily\"\"; in fact, they are very smart creatures and have a heightened sense of hearing, smell and sight. Size Coyotes are about as big as medium-size dogs, though they are smaller than wolves. They are 32 to 37 inches (81 to 94 centimeters) from head to rump, according to National Geographic. Their tail adds another 16 inches (41 cm) to their length. Coyotes typically weigh about 20 to 50 lbs. ( 9 to 23 kilograms)."

"text": "Wolves, Coyotes, and Dogs (Genus Canis)Drawing of dire wolf ( Canis dirus) by Robert Larson The genus Canis includes wolves, coyotes, jackals, and the domestic dogs. In the midwestern U. S. at least three members of the genus are found in sites that date from the last Ice Age. These three members are the dire wolf ( Canis dirus ), the gray wolf ( Canis lupus ) and the coyote ( Canis latrans ). One additional species, the domestic dog ( Canis familiaris ), was almost certainly also present at the very end of the Pleistocene (after about 12,000 years ago); however, none have been recovered in Pleistocene sites from the Midwest. The gray wolves and coyotes of the last Ice Age were probably very similar in look and behavior to their modern relatives. The first specimen of a dire wolf was found at near Evansville, Indiana. The dire wolf was not quite like any animal surviving today. It was similar in overall size and mass to a large modern gray wolf. This means it was about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long and weighed about 50 kilograms (110 pounds) on average. The dire wolf looked fairly similar to the modern gray wolf; however, there were several important differences."

DESCRIPTION: Coyotes are about the size and weight of a medium sized dog. They generally have longer and thicker hair or fur than a dog. Their long black tipped tail is usually bushy and is pointed downward rather than outward or upward. The fur of the coyote in Virginia can vary from blond, light reddish-brown or tan, grayish black, or black with a small white blaze in the center of the chest. The coyote ears are pointed and erect, and the snout is relatively long and slender. The coyote in the eastern United States is typically larger than coyotes in the western United States. Female coyotes weigh on average 30 to 40 pounds, and male coyotes weigh on average 35 to 45 pounds. Coyotes can weigh as much as 60 pounds. DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE: The coyote is distributed throughout the Commonwealth and prefers semi-forested or open farm and pasture lands."

They use the dens to give birth to their pups and as a place to nurse their young — whelping. The pups move out soon after these beginnings, however, they retain use of the well hidden areas around the dens — these become their secret resting places. Most coyote families retain several of these areas for their use. The pups are moved regularly to escape flea buildup and as a safety measure. I think of a coyote den as being similar in usage to a bird’s nest: it is a temporary “nursery”. However, the nest, if it is still somewhat intact, may be fixed up the next year to be used again. This is how the coyote dens I’ve seen work. People are constantly asking me where the dens are, and I have to respond that, unless they are having pups, there are no dens: coyotes sleep out in the open and can sometimes be seen doing so. See my posting of July 15, 2010: Sleeping and Resting Right In The Open."

"text": "5 Ways To Reduce CPAP Mask Irritation Issues April 6, 2018 How To's / Tips, Troubleshooting Comments Off Blemishes, sores, redness, rashes, and other unsightly and sometimes painful skin problems are common side effects of wearing a CPAP mask. Luckily, there are a number of ways to alleviate and eliminate these skin irritations so that you can focus on getting a full night of sleep and stop worrying about the red marks on your cheeks. Most of these issues happen to people who are new to CPAP treatment – sometimes it can take a little while for your skin to get used to the mask. If you have particularly delicate or vulnerable skin, you may be more susceptible. While most leading manufacturers of CPAP masks ( Res Med, Phillips Respironics, and Fisher & Paykel) make comfort a priority by using hypoallergenic materials, regular maintenance is still critical. Here are some ways you can reduce CPAP mask irritation.1. Be sure your mask is the right size. A mask that is either too big or too small can cause skin irritations. If your mask is too tight, it could be pressing into your face and causing indentation marks. If your mask is too loose, your mask could be leaking excess air – when combined with the mask shifting around and rubbing against your skin, this can result in some pretty painful sores."

Humidifiers add moisture to the airstream to help reduce irritation to the nasal passages. Not only are dry air passages uncomfortable, but the swelling can actually narrow the airway affecting therapy pressure requirements. Humidification is the comfort feature most commonly added to CPAP therapy. There are two kinds of humidifiers: cool passover and heated. A cool passover humidifier passes room temperature air over a chamber of room temperature water. A heated humidifier heats water to warm it and as the airstream passes over the heated water, it picks up the moisture and warms the air. The heated air is able to hold enough moisture to maintain a comfortable airway.

"text": "Sleep Apnea, Pneumonia and CPAP Therapy: Why You Must Keep Your CPAP Clean This Seasonby Jessica Weil / Thursday, 15 October 2015 / Published in Sleep Apnea and CPAPIt’s that time of the year again: Pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking, curling up by the fireplace…oh yeah, and an abundance of illnesses and infections like the flu, the common cold and pneumonia, all of which are more prevalent in the colder weather. For sleep apnea patients who use CPAP therapy, the gold-standard treatment for this sleep disorder, the risk of getting sick is even higher, as dirty CPAP masks and reservoirs are breeding grounds for mold, bacteria and viruses. Sleep apnea and CPAP therapy are risk factors for pneumonia In 2014, a team of Taiwanese researchers set out to investigate the link between sleep apnea, CPAP therapy and pneumonia, a potentially deadly respiratory infection that affects the lungs. They found that adults with sleep apnea had a 20% increased risk of being diagnosed with pneumonia than the control group. And for those who used CPAP therapy, this risk factor increased to 32%.“This study showed that sleep apnea is an independent risk factor for incident pneumonia,” wrote Dr. Vincent Yi-Fong Su & Dr. Kun-Ta Chou, Department of Chest Medicine, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan, with coauthors, according to a press release. “ Our results also demonstrated an exposure-response relation in that patients with more severe sleep apnea may have a higher risk of pneumonia than patients with sleep apnea of milder severity. ”What are some explanations for this? There are a few different theories that may explain this increased risk of pneumonia among sleep apnea patients and CPAP users: With their breathing obstructed, sleep apnea patients are more likely to aspirate contents or liquid from their throat. CPAP machines can prevent sleep apnea patients from coughing up mucus lingering in their lungs. Dirty CPAP equipment contains bacteria and other harmful contaminants that can cause pneumonia."

"text": "\"CPAP Equipment Cleaning and Maintenance Best Practices Posted by Kevin Phillips Find me on: Linked In Twitter on Sep 10, 2014 7:25:00 PMTweet One of the most important factors in maintaining CPAP compliance is taking proper care of your CPAP equipment. In order to have successful CPAP therapy, you must be willing to make your treatment a priority in your life, and that means regularly cleaning and maintaining your CPAP equipment. Fortunately, taking proper care of your equipment is pretty easy, and not very time consuming. With a little adjustment to your regular morning routine, your device and accessories will be working at 100% efficiency to get you that much needed sleep you've been longing for. At The Alaska Sleep Clinic we care about how well our patients' therapy is progressing, and we strive to provide as much information as possible to make sure that they are highly informed on the impact that therapy compliance can have on their lives. One of the most frequent questions we get asked is \"\"how often do I need to clean my CPAP equipment?\"\" To answer this question we set out to compose a comprehensive guide on proper CPAP equipment maintenance and cleaning. CPAP Humidifier Cleaning and Replacement Nearly all current CPAP machines now come stock with a heated humidification system that helps cut down on morning dry mouth as well as keeping your nasal turbinates from drying out and becoming irritated and inflamed. However, the humidification chamber needs to be cleaned out daily to prevent bacteria build-up as well as calcification. Here's how: Remove chamber from humidifier carefully so water doesn't enter your CPAP machine."

If your mouth drops open during sleep, a full face or hybrid mask may be selected to allow for the CPAP airflow to be delivered through both the nose and mouth. The most common reasons why you would need a full face mask are: You have chronic sinus issues and it is not possible to breathe solely through your nose. You would like a full face mask to use when you are congested due to seasonal allergies or a cold. Your mouth drops open during sleep and using a chinstrap with a nasal, nasal pillow, or nasal prong mask did not meet your therapy needs. Hybrid Masks are another option for people who fall into the circumstances listed above. Hybrid masks deliver airflow to both the nose and mouth using nasal pillows and an oral cushion.

Newer models of CPAP machines are lighter and quieter, and many offer options such as warmed humidified air (which alleviates nasal congestion, skin dryness, and dry mouth) and a timer that slowly builds up pressure to give you time to adapt and fall asleep more easily. There are also a variety of mask styles, allowing users to find the one that best fits their face and is most comfortable. However, even with the new technology, people still have CPAP side effects.

"text": "Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)314-205-8600 or 888-BJC-HOMEYour doctor has prescribed Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy for you. CPAP is defined as a single level of pressure delivered to the airway. The level of pressure is the same when you take a breath in as well as when you breathe out. This pressure prevents the upper airway from closing. CPAP is used to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This is a condition that causes the upper airway tissue to block air flow to the lungs, which can cause your oxygen levels to drop dangerously low. This happens primarily at night when you sleep but can occur while you nap. Use your CPAP when you sleep at night and anytime you plan to take a nap. The CPAP machine delivers a prescribed pressure through the tubing to the mask or nasal pillows. CPAP machines and masks/pillows come in various sizes and types."

"text": "Everything you want to know about Bi PAP Machines Posted on January 19, 2018 by Chris Vasta Before we tell you everything you want to know about Bi PAP machines, we should define them. A Bi Level (Bi PAP or VPAP) machine is typically used for people who cannot tolerate typical CPAP due primarily to pressure settings. Bi Level machines provide a variable inspiratory pressure (inhalation pressure) and a lower expiratory pressure (exhalation pressure ). The Bi Level machine’s inspiratory pressure makes breathing in easier while the expiratory pressure makes it easier to exhale. This is especially important when pressures are in the high teens or low twenties. Breathing against a pressure in those ranges can be very difficult. The pressure settings are determined by a sleep test and the Bi PAP machine provider sets the pressure levels based upon the physician’s prescription. About Bi PAP Machines – They have Three Different Modes Depending on the type of Bi Level machine, it may have up to three modes of operation. A Bi Level ST machine is the most advanced and acts similarly to a ventilator. It is used for more serious respiratory illnesses."

"text": "Your piercing, chainsaw snore may be a favorite family joke — but it should also be a figurative wake-up call. Habitual, loud snoring is a key symptom of sleep apnea, a disease that affects 12-18 million Americans and increases the risk of health problems including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, erectile dysfunction and depression. You’ve likely heard of the “gold standard” for sleep apnea treatment, a machine with a running motor, tubing and a face mask called a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine. However, for many sleep apnea sufferers, relief lies far from the mask in an effective alternative treatment called oral appliance therapy. Oral appliance therapy uses a “mouth-guard” like device worn only during sleep to hold your jaw forward and open your airway. Pioneered by dentists, oral appliance therapy began its surge into sleep apnea treatment plans in the early 1990s. Now, more than 20 years later, a growing mass of research is proving that oral appliances are an effective alternative to CPAP in treating many people with sleep apnea, and that patients are more likely to use oral appliances, even seven days a week, to get a good night’s rest. What does oral appliance therapy offer the sleepless snorer? Comfort — Sleeping with a CPAP machine can prove difficult. According to the AADSM, up to 50 percent of sleep apnea patients do not comply with or tolerate CPAP."

Lice are parasites that attach themselves to the host’s hair and feed on blood, particles and skin. Ticks and lice are parasitic infestation that can cause problems for humans, animals and other creatures. These two creatures survive on the blood of the host they attach to. Lice are commonly found in the hair, while ticks can be found all over the body, including hair, arms, stomach, clothes, etc. Ticks and lice are often confused as the same due to their similarities in appearance; however they differ from each other in many ways. Ticks are tiny, wingless, ectoparasites that belong to the Arachnida class, the same class that spiders belong to. There are various different types of ticks such as the American deer tick, sheep tick, and cattle tick. Ticks can be classified into three families: Ixodidae (hard ticks), Argasidae (soft ticks) and Nuttalliellidae. The hard ticks often have a small hard shell on the back of their mouths."

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

The very thought can make you itch! Head lice, pubic lice (“crabs”), and body lice are parasites no one wants to be invaded by. These creepy crawlers are as old as humankind, and they are not nitpicky about who they pick on. There are three kinds of lice that feed on human blood. Each are identified by the area of the body they infest: head lice, pubic lice, and body lice. Head and pubic lice use skin and hair as their nesting grounds, while body lice live in fabrics. Lice don’t jump or fly — they crawl."

"text": "Pubic Lice (“Crabs”)Posted under Health Guides. Updated 6 September 2016. Pubic lice, or “crabs” can affect both guys and girls. One “crab” is called a “louse” and more than one is called “lice.” This sexually transmitted infection is usually spread by sexual contact with a person who is infected or from close contact with that person’s bed sheets, clothing, or towels. What are pubic lice? Pubic lice are tiny, round, wingless insects that live on the skin. They are also called crabs because they have “claws,” which they use to hang on to hair. They are light brown and the size of a pinhead. Pubic lice feed on the blood of a human; however, they can live up to 24 hours away from the person’s body."

Numerous information sources discuss the lice that are parasites of humans, their public health risk, methods of personal protection, and approaches to control. You are encouraged to learn more about the biology of human lice to help you make more informed decisions about health risks, how to prevent infestations, and where to find information about the control of human lice. Are Human Lice a Public Health Risk? Human lice are blood-sucking nuisances and a cause of social embarrassment. In the U. S., the head louse is by far of greatest importance because of its common and widespread occurrence, especially among children. None of the human lice are known to be vectors of disease agents in Indiana. In other regions of the world, the body louse is the vector of three human diseases. Historically, epidemic typhus fever and epidemic relapsing fever have caused devastating outbreaks, primarily associated with disasters such as war, but also with natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes. The third disease transmitted by body lice is a non-fatal infection known as \"\"trench fever.\"\""

Crabs need blood to survive, but they can live up to 24 hours off a human body. Crabs have three very distinct phases; egg, nit (egg or young louse), and adult louse. The louse is the stage of the parasite that causes itching. Louse is the singular for lice (like mouse and mice). How common are they? In the United States, there are an estimated 3 million cases of crabs every year."

Head lice are spread by personal contact or the sharing of combs, brushes, caps, and other clothing. Head lice are a common problem with preschool and schoolchildren. Head lice cause a tickling feeling of something moving in the hair, itching, and sores on the head. The affected individual, family members also infected, and the home all should be treated. Remember: one head louse + one head louse = two head lice = the beginning of a head-lice infection. Very young children should be evaluated by a health care professional before beginning medications. Quick Guide Lice & Nits: How to Get Rid of Head Lice Head Lice Symptoms Although itching may be a sign of a lice infestation, most often individuals are asymptomatic. Keep in mind that although the only reliable sign of an infestation is the presence of a live louse or nymph (juvenile louse), the presence of nits may be a sign that there is or has been an active infestation."

The causes of head lice have nothing to do with cleanliness or personal hygiene. Head-to-head contact is the most common form of transmission, but head lice can also be spread through contact with infested brushes, hats, or towels. What Causes Head Lice? The cause of head lice is an infestation with a parasitic insect known as Pediculus humanus capitis. This parasite is more commonly known as head lice -- so both the condition and the parasite that causes it go by the same name. Understanding Head Lice A head louse (head lice is plural) is a small, wingless insect. It has three pairs of legs located directly behind the head. The legs end in sharp claws that are designed for feeding and allow the louse to hold on tightly to hair or clothing. The head louse is the largest of the three types of lice (the pubic, or crab, louse is the smallest)."

Infestation with pubic lice can cause itching but not everyone affected has symptoms. Treatment involves using an insecticide lotion or cream to kill the lice. If you have caught pubic lice from a sexual partner, you should be tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Body lice are also passed on in close contact. They mostly occur in cold climates and in overcrowded areas where there is poor sanitation and a high rate of poverty. Being unable to wash regularly or wearing the same clothes for a long time increases the chance of catching body lice, so homeless people are at increased risk.

"text": "big box Home Improvement Sears Craftsman: Made in the USA – Manufactured in China? By Christopher Durham A little more than a year after a judge threw out a class-action lawsuit asserting that troubled retailer Sears knowingly led customers to believe their iconic Private Brand Craftsman Tools are still Made in the USA, the retailer continues to face public outcry. Part of the mystique of the Craftsman brand was that the hand tools were proudly Made in the USA. But in recent years, Craftsman, like many tool brands, started manufacturing many of their products in China while continuing to run advertising that would lead customers to believe all the tools were still domestically produced. Since 1927, Craftsman has built its brand on a credibility and reliability that was brought to life in its now legendary lifetime guarantee: if a hand tool breaks, just bring it back to the store for an immediate replacement. The problem? Made in the USA Craftsman brand loyalists are disappointed with what they feel is a violation of the brand promise. They simply do not want to replace their broken USA manufactured tool with one from China because they suffer from the not unfounded fear that the quality will be substandard to what they expect with the Craftsman name. They also resent the fact that the prices haven’t dropped to reflect international sourcing. This is a great example of a brand promise becoming diluted and true brand loyalists rejecting the change."

USA TODAY (Photo: Danny Johnston, AP)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREOne of the nation's best-known toolmakers, Stanley Black & Decker, said Thursday that it will move more manufacturing back to the U. S. from overseas, including construction of a new $35 million factory after acquiring the Craftsman brand from ailing retailer Sears Holdings. Expanding American manufacturing makes \"\"business sense\"\" amid \"\"pervasive\"\" uncertainty regarding the future of U. S. trade with China and Mexico, Stanley Black & Decker CEO James Loree told investors Thursday in a conference call. Although he did not mention Donald Trump by name in his remarks to investors, Loree hinted that the move has the side benefit of inoculating his company from the possible effects of the president-elect's threatened \"\"border tax,\"\" a tariff on imports. \"\" It’s going to be advisable to have more manufacturing in the U. S.,\"\" Loree said. The sale of Craftsman marks another big move by Sears Holdings to stem losses. It also announced the closing of another 150 stores, including 108 Kmart locations. Stanley Black & Decker is buying Craftsman for about $900 million, including future royalty payments. The move came several months after Sears put the Craftsman, Kenmore and Die Hard brands up for sale as it seeks an elusive turnaround. Including the closing of 108 Kmart and 42 Sears stores, the company said the moves are \"\"a difficult but necessary step as we take actions to strengthen the company’s operations and fund its transformation. \"\""

I did a little research and found this link that I think that many of the members would like to know about: http://www.team.net/...h/whotools.html So Kobalt is the retail brand of Snap-on tools; Franco-Americaine de Construction d'Outillage Mecanique owns SK-Tools; for the last 5 years Danaher Tools makes Craftsman; Craftsman tools older than 5 years were made by Stanley; Stanley also owns MAC Tools & Proto Tools; Husky brand is made by Stanley Mechanics Tools, a division of the Stanley Works; Danaher tools manufactures K-D Tools, Matco Tools, and Gearwrench Tools. Be aware that Answers.com says \"\"Kobalt tools are currently manufactured by Danaher (June 2009). \"\" So Kobalt is probably made by multiple vendors depending upon the tool. By the way, I have a Kobalt Torque wrench and it was better made than Craftsman (China) , Husky (Taiwan) plus it was made in the USA! Go figure!"

S. to support growth Jan 5, 2017NEW BRITAIN, Conn. and HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Stanley Black & Decker (NYSE: SWK) (\"\" Stanley Black & Decker\"\" or \"\"the company\"\"), an S&P 500 global diversified industrial company, and Sears Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: SHLD) (\"\"Sears Holdings\"\"), announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Stanley Black & Decker will purchase the Craftsman brand from Sears Holdings. The transaction provides Stanley Black & Decker with the rights to develop, manufacture and sell Craftsman-branded products in non-Sears Holdings retail, industrial and online sales channels across the U. S. and in other countries. As part of the agreement, Sears Holdings will continue to offer Craftsman-branded products, sourced from existing suppliers, through its current retail channels via a perpetual license from Stanley Black & Decker, which will be royalty-free for the first 15 years after closing and royalty-bearing thereafter. Today only approximately 10% of Craftsman-branded products are sold outside of Sears Holdings and the agreement will enable Stanley Black & Decker to significantly increase Craftsman sales in these untapped channels. \"\" Craftsman is a legendary, American brand with tremendous consumer awareness built on a legacy of producing quality products at a great value,\"\" said Stanley Black & Decker President and CEO James M. Loree. \"\" This agreement represents a significant opportunity to grow the market by increasing the availability of Craftsman products to consumers in previously underpenetrated channels. We intend to invest in the brand and rapidly increase sales through these new channels, including retail, industrial, mobile and online. To accommodate the future growth of Craftsman, we intend to expand our manufacturing footprint in the U. S. This will add jobs in the U. S., where we have increased our manufacturing headcount by 40% in the past three years. \"\" As we continue our growth trajectory as a diversified industrial company, we continue to look at opportunities to build upon our world-class portfolio of franchises and brands to create shareholder value. This transaction, which aligns squarely with this strategy, also reflects an effective allocation of capital particularly when viewed in the context of the recently announced Mechanical Security sale."

This list will also include the non-zero turn riders and multi-purpose tractors like the Husqvarna Articulated and Ventrac. American home owners have mowed lawns and tilled garden with these since the 50’s. The love affair for the tractor style mower has always been a mystery to the manufactures because there are so many more efficient ways to mow your lawn and maintain your garden. But the desire still lives on. Todays lawn tractors mow faster, are more fuel efficient and in general cost much less than the ones built in the 60’s and 70’s. If the price of a lawn tractor kept up with inflation a typical one today would cost over $25,000! They are one of the best consumer bargains on the planet."

Craftsman’s Bolt-On system is a new modular power tool system where you swap tool heads for different functionality. This allows DIYers to have the versatility of many tool types without having to budget for separate full-size tools. Our experiences with the Bolt-On tools have been quite good, but there are of course some compromises in terms of features and performance. Following are brief reviews of the starter kit and each tool head attachment. For most of the tools we present pros, neutral points, and cons. Many of the cons are not intended to be complaints, but point out some of the features that you don’t get that you would with full-size corded or cordless tools. Note: All of the photos shown here were taken by us prior to testing. “ Action Shots” were left out to save space.

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Hand Tools Wrenches Adjustable Wrenches Adjustable Wrench Buying Guidee Bay Like March 3, 2016A wrench is a hand operated tool that operates as a lever. While a wrench has a fixed end that fits around a certain size bolt or nut, an adjustable wrench has a jaw-like end that is capable of being moved to adjust to a variety of sizes of bolts or nuts (also referred to as fasteners). While Americans tend to use the term wrench or adjustable wrench, the English term spanner or adjustable spanner will also be seen when describing the adjustable wrench. Adjustable wrenches are useful tools and can be extended or reduced to fit pipes, faucets, nuts, bolts, and other fasteners of varying size. They are handy for home repairs and maintenance because adjustable wrenches make it possible to work on projects that need multiple wrench sizes without having to dig through an assortment of wrenches. Purchasing adjustable wrenches is as easy and can be done with confidence once a few distinguishing factors are learned regarding adjustable wrenches and their uses. Adjustable wrenches are available in many stores including department stores, do-it-yourself stores, lumber stores, and often in the hardware aisle of the local supermarket. Many flea markets offer sales of new or used adjustable wrenches. Adjustable wrenches can also be purchased new or used online from e Bay .. History of the Adjustable Wrench The first wrench was patented in 1835 by Solymon Merrick. The pipe wrench was invented by Daniel C. Stillson, and he was given a patent for it in 1870 (it is also called a Stillson wrench after the inventor)."

FAQs on Early Pregnancy There are many situations that lead women to ask the question, “Am I pregnant?” The following questions are some of the most frequently asked questions that the APA receives regarding early pregnancy issues. Can I be pregnant and still have a period? Pregnant women can have some light irregular bleeding during pregnancy , but it should not be like a “normal” period. Some women can confuse this for their period because often it can come right around the time she was expecting her normal period. The irregular bleeding or spotting that can occur during pregnancy is often a dark brown or a light pinkish color. It should not be enough bleeding to fill pads or tampons over a few days. If you are bleeding enough to fill pads and tampons, then this would be a good indication that you are probably not pregnant."

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

If you have never been pregnant before, you may even be worried about miscarriage when experience 6 weeks pregnant cramping. In fact, cramping during the first trimester is often caused by the normal changes that occur as your baby is developing, and is usually no cause for concern. However, if your cramping is severe and accompanied by vaginal bleeding, it might indicate a medical complication. Therefore, for the safety of you and your child, if you experience such symptoms, inform your doctor or midwife of your condition right away.6 Weeks Pregnant Cramping: Is It Normal? In the majority of cases, mild cramping is a normal part of early pregnancy. These cramps tend to be linked to the physical changes your body is going through as it prepares itself for the carrying of the baby. When the embryo implants itself into the wall of your womb, you may experience a little bleeding and cramping. This will usually happen at about the same time as the start of your period. You may also experience some cramping as your womb begins to grow and change its shape as it readies itself for accommodating your new baby."

Last updated on Feb 10, 2013by Alyssia Granger Rate this Article: Rating: 3.4/ 5 (7 votes cast)There are some signs that can occur to help a woman know when implantation has occurred, but not every woman will show signs or be aware of those signs that do occur. When a couple is actively trying to conceive during your fertile days, that waiting period after ovulation can be very nerve-racking. Oftentimes there is several weeks of waiting as implantation occurs and the pregnancy begins to progress, allowing a fetus to begin to grow and develop. Of course within that small window of time as a fertilized egg is implanted within the uterine lining there is the question of whether or not a woman can know when this occurs. The simple answer is yes, there are some signs that can occur to help a woman know when implantation has occurred, but not every woman will show signs or be aware of those signs that do occur. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here What are the signs of implantation? Typically the process of implantation takes about 7 to 10 days as the fertilized egg attached itself to the uterine lining and begins to grow. However, this process can vary from woman to woman, sometimes happening within just a few short days of ovulation while other times it can take upwards of 14 days. The signs of implantation can be confusing to interpret as they can oftentimes be mistaken for the beginning of the natural ovulation cycle beginning again."

But it also can be confusing and scary, particularly if she has certain problems, like irregular periods or premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Common Menstrual Problems Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)It's common for women to feel a few symptoms, such as mild bloating or breast soreness, before a period. But women with PMS have a wave of emotional and physical symptoms that start in the second half of the menstrual cycle and end after a period begins. PMS includes many physical and emotional symptoms, such as:acnebloatingbackachessore breastsheadachesconstipationdiarrheafood cravingsdepression or feeling sadirritabilityanxiety PMS is usually at its worst during the 4 days before a period. It tends to disappear 2 to 3 days after the period begins."

Your baby’s heart beats at a steady rate now, though it may not be detected by ultrasound for another week or two. The placenta is also starting to develop. At this stage, your baby doesn’t look like a baby yet. The embryo is growing quickly, but it’s still very small, about the size of a pen tip.

Waiting to see if two pink lines are in store for you this month can be agony, so it’s hard not to read into every twinge, cramp and extra trip to the bathroom. But what are the first signs of pregnancy you should really be on the lookout for? We break down the most common early pregnancy symptoms and what you can do to ease any ensuing discomfort. When Do Pregnancy Symptoms Start? There’s no hard and fast rule for when early pregnancy symptoms kick in. Some women may begin noticing the first early signs of pregnancy a week or two after conception, while others will start to feel symptoms closer to four or five weeks after, when your period is conspicuously late, or even farther into pregnancy. According to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, most women (59 percent) experienced an onset of pregnancy symptoms by their fifth or sixth week, while 71 percent reported symptoms by the end of week six and 89 percent by week eight. Whether you start to sense early pregnancy symptoms immediately or later in pregnancy, don’t fret. “ All women are different and don't experience the same symptoms of early pregnancy,” says Michele Justice, MD, an ob-gyn at Inova Loudoun Hospital in Leesburg, Virginia. “"

Many symptoms are present during a normal pregnancy. You may not always be able to identify a specific problem; you may just feel that something is different from what you have previously experienced. As you read the list of signs and symptoms, the question to keep in mind is whether a change has appeared from what has been usual for you: Menstrual-like cramps -You may feel dull, aching cramps in the lower part of your abdomen. They may be continuous or come and go in a rhythmic pattern. Low backache - The backache you experience in preterm labor is usually located in the lower back. It may come in waves and may travel to the front of your abdomen. This ache is not relieved by changing your position. It may come and go, or seem different from the normal backache you have felt at other times during your pregnancy."

Reasons for Cramping Pain in the Middle of the Cycle By Margaret Scott 0 Comments Tweet Pin It Implantation of the embryo is an important and painless process, which takes place when pregnancy occurs. Mid-cycle pain is often caused by ovulation, which is sometimes confused with much anticipated implantation. The period dispels the doubts. Implantation cramps may be explained by flatulency or other gynecological, urinary or gastrointestinal diseases. Implantation of the embryo is a process, which takes place at the cellular level and covers three stages. Despite the fact that implantation can be accompanied by some bleeding, it is practically impossible to feel implantation cramps. Often women confide to each other “symptoms”, which they attribute to implantation – cramps, tingling, etc. This has to do with the fact that every mother would wish to track the very moment, when the most precious life in her lifetime originated. Alas, in reality all such symptoms have a different explanation."

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

Try to take a few deep breaths. Whether this was a planned pregnancy or not, there are a few important next steps you should think about and take. If, like most women, you're not sure what these next steps are, here's a handy list of things to do when your pregnancy test is positive. Make an Appointment With Your Doctor or Midwife Call for a prenatal appointment as soon as your pregnancy is confirmed or you suspect you are pregnant. Some practitioners may not schedule a first appointment until after you have missed two periods, while others have you come in right away. Even if you don't have an early appointment, do feel free to call with questions about things like medications you're currently taking, symptoms that are worrisome, or chronic health conditions that may affect your pregnancy. If you have a history that might suggest you need to be seen sooner, make that clear. For example, a history of previous pregnancy loss, complications like pain or bleeding, or chronic conditions that you had before pregnancy like diabetes or hypothyroidism call for an appointment."

You need to take care of yourself during the pregnancy to ensure both you and the baby come out in good health. Determining if you are pregnant is tricky. It is important to identify conception early to avoid problems caused by a poor diet or a lack of pre-natal vitamins. Your body gives off certain signs as soon as conception occurs. Rule out other causes of these symptoms, like common illnesses, before assuming you are pregnant. Late Period One of the first signs is a late period. Keeping clear records of your periods will help you determine if one is late. Other causes of a delayed period include: Normal, everyday stress from work or your home life Changes in your diet Sudden increases in exercise Medications like birth control medication Illnesses like the cold or flu Once you suspect that your period is a few days late, you can use an over-the-counter pregnancy test."

By Kate Rope Facebook Pinterest Twitter Email Photolibrary/Matton Cramping during pregnancy is often scary, but it's a common symptom through all trimesters and most are not dangerous. So it can be helpful to know that cramping is the uterus's response to just about anything that is happening to it. \"\" The uterus is a muscle,\"\" says Holly Puritz, M. D., medical director for Sentara Lee Hospital Group for Women in Norfolk, Virginia, \"\"and the only thing a muscle knows how to do is contract, and a contraction feels like a cramp . \"\" That means that any time your uterus is stimulated—by a full bladder, vigorous exercise, or something more—its natural response is to contract. The important thing, says Dr. Puritz, is to figure out when your cramping is a concern and when it's no big deal. Reasons you may feel cramping during pregnancy Things that can cause your uterus to contract or cramp at any time during pregnancy include a full bladder, an orgasm, exercise, or a urinary tract infection. Trimester by trimester, here's what you can expect: Cramping in Early Pregnancy The good news is there are lots of normal and non-concerning reasons you may experience cramping during early pregnancy. First trimester For some women, cramping is the first sign that they are pregnant, as it's common to experience cramping when a fertilized egg makes its home in the uterine wall. This is called implantation cramping, and it can feel like your period is about to start, says Dr. Puritz."

UTI Prevention A urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria multiply in your urinary tract and cause cystitis, the inflammation of the bladder. Cranberries are a common home remedy to prevent this condition. They increase the urine acidity to create an inhospitable environment for bacteria such as E. coli that may cause UTIs. Cranberries may also prevent bacteria from adhering to the walls of your urinary tract where they otherwise would grow, multiply and cause infection. Although cranberries may help prevent UTIs, do not use them to replace antibiotics to fight an existing infection."

One of the first warning signs of cat or dog urinary tract infection might be some straining, pain or discomfort when urinating, but any change in urinary habits could signal UTI. Watch out for incontinence or increased frequency of urination, the ability to pass only a very small or an abnormally large amount of urine, and urination in inappropriate places. Cats often stop using the litter box altogether to urinate. Other symptoms may include the passing of urine which is cloudy or strong in odor, an increased thirst, and visible inflammation or irritation. Symptoms which may indicate UTI (but could also be signs of other illness) include lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, fever and back pain. What can I do about it? Urinary tract infection in dogs can be a recurring phenomenon and it might tire you to constantly take your dog to the vet. Consequently, you may wonder if a dog’s urinary tract infection can be treated with a homemade formula. Fortunately, a dog’s UTI can be treated from the comfort of home."

Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Reduce Your Sodium and Sugar Intake A diet high in sugar and salt can be harmful to your liver and too much salt causes your body to retain fluid. The adequate intake of sodium for adults is 1,500 milligrams a day, so it is important to read nutrition labels carefully to identify foods that have 300 milligrams of sodium or less per serving. A high-sugar diet also puts you at greater risk for obesity and for stress on your liver. Instead of eating simple carbohydrates such as cookies and donuts, choose complex carbohydrates such as whole-grains and fresh vegetables. Limit Your Fat Intake Too much fat increases your risk of obesity and of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. You should get no more than 20 to 35 percent of your total daily calories from fat, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010.

Posted: August 15, 2017Authors: Skarpanska-Stejnborn, A. Basta, P. Trzeciak, J. Michalska, A. Kafkas, M. E. Woitas-Slubowska, D. Journal: Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 14 (7)Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of supplementation with cranberry (Vaccinum macrocarpon) on the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, hepcidin and selected markers of iron metabolism in rowers subjected to exhaustive exercise. Methods: This double-blind study included 16 members of the Polish Rowing Team. The subjects were randomly assigned to the supplemented group (n=9), receiving 1200 mg of cranberry extract for 6 weeks, or to the placebo group (n=7). The participants performed a 2000-m test on a rowing ergometer at the beginning and at the end of the preparatory camp. Blood samples were obtained from the antecubital vein prior to each exercise test, one minute after completing the test, and after a 24-h recovery period. The levels of hepcidin, interleukin 6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), ferritin, iron, soluble transferrin receptor (s Tf R) and myoglobin were determined, along with total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), unbound iron-binding capacity (UIBC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Results: Both prior and after the supplementation, a significant post-exercise increase in the concentration of IL-6 was observed in both groups. At the end of the study period, cranberry-supplemented athletes presented with significantly higher resting, post-exercise and post-recovery levels of TAC than the controls. However, a significant exercise-induced increase in the concentrations of TNF-alpha, myoglobin and hepcidin was observed solely in the control group."

Group Guest Writer for Wake Up World The thyroid gland synthesizes thyroid hormones and iodine is an essential trace mineral that is crucial for the thyroid to function properly. Eating foods rich in iodine ensures the thyroid is able to manage metabolism, detoxification, growth and development. Research has shown that a lack of dietary iodine may lead to enlargement of the thyroid gland, lethargy, fatigue, weakness of the immune system, slow metabolism, autism, weight gain and possibly even mental states such as anxiety and depression. The good news is that there are many popular foods with iodine, all of which are easy to incorporate into your daily diet. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for iodine is 150 micrograms daily for everybody over the age of 14. The RDA for children ages 1-8 is 90/mcg every day, ages 9-13 is 120/mcg every day.

"text": "Liver & Kidney Cleansing A simple approach Updated On Apr 24, 2015 Published On April 29, 2009 Written By Zoltan P. Rona, MD, MSc highlevelwellness.ca People talk about liver and kidney cleansing in ways that conjure up pictures of driving to something like a carwash, attaching the liver and kidneys to a washing machine, and happily picking them up “cleansed” after a quick and powerful scrub. Unfortunately, liver and kidney cleansing isn’t that easy. Dozens of different liver cleansing programs are available. Despite the range of options, they all boil down to basic diet changes and some health-enhancing supplements. More radical cleanses, such as coffee enemas; master cleanses using cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and maple syrup; and liver flushes using olive oil and Epsom salts are definitely not recommended, because they could land people in hospital emergency rooms. Instead of these extreme cleanses, take a simple approach. Liver cleansing Let’s start with the liver. From a medical standpoint, a liver that requires cleansing might reveal itself through a collection of blood tests collectively called “liver function tests.” An ultrasound of the liver could show one of two largely asymptomatic liver problems: benign tumours, afflicting one in 10 Canadians; or a condition called nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease (NAFLD), afflicting three out of every eight Canadians. More general indicators may also suggest a liver cleanse would be beneficial (see “Signs a liver cleanse is needed” below)."

A healthy diet filled with a variety of fruits, veggies, whole grains and healthy proteins is a good start. But some fruits and veggies, and their juices, contain nutrients that may be especially helpful for liver and kidney health. However, it’s important to note that despite the claims, there’s no evidence that juicing or juice fasting improves the elimination of toxins from your body. Orange Juice You’re already on your way to keeping your liver and kidneys healthy if orange juice makes a regular appearance in your diet. Orange juice is a good source of potassium, meeting more than 10 percent of the daily value. High blood pressure is one of the primary causes of kidney problems, and high-potassium diet is associated with better blood pressure. As an antioxidant, the vitamin C in a cup of orange juice -- 140 percent of the daily value -- protects your liver cells from toxic substances. Cranberry Juice This tart juice may be best known as the juice you drink when you have a urinary tract infection (UTI). Studies show that drinking cranberry juice helps prevent recurrence of UTIs, which decreases the likelihood of a kidney infection."

Cure UTI within a day the conventional way UTIs affect both men and women, though women seem to suffer more from them. UTI occurs when the body has an inherently poor immune system. The bacterium in the urine goes on into the urinary tract to reach the bladder, causing inflammation. The result of UTI is:intense pain or burning when urinating as well as the tendency to go more often to the bathroom but hardly producing a few drops each time. Women suffering from urine infections must naturally be aware of the fact that a UTI can get serious very quickly if ignored and can even turn into a kidney infection. To cure UTI within a day, your best bet is antibiotics. Seek help from your family physician to start a course of antibiotics immediately."

"text": "\"General Information Symptoms and Causes Prevention and Treatment References Tetanus Prevention and Treatmenttreatment General measures to treat the sources of the bacterial infection with antibiotics, such as penicillin (Pen G®), are used. Drainage of the wound site is also carried out in the hospital while the individual is monitored for any signs of compromised breathing muscles. Treatment is directed toward stopping toxin production, neutralizing its effects, and controlling muscle spasms. To treat tetanus, people are often paralyzed (to help stop the muscle spasms) using medications, such as vercuronium (Norcuron®) and then put on a mechanical ventilator to keep them breathing. Muscle relaxants and anti-seizure medicines are important. Tetanus immune globulins (Hyper-Tet®, Bay-Tet®): Tetanus immune globulin (TIG, Hyper-Tet® or Bay-Tet®) is used as prophylaxis against tetanus and to treat patients with circulating tetanus toxin. TIG provides passive immunity. TIG should be used to treat all individuals with active tetanus, in combination with other supportive and therapeutic treatments such as antibiotics. TIG should also be used to prevent tetanus in individuals with inadequate or unknown immunization status after an acute injury. Other drugs may be given for the following reasons: to provide sedation and control seizures, such as diazepam (Vaium®); relax the muscles, such as liorisal (Baclofen®); relieve pain, such as morphine (Astromorph®); and control heart arrhythmias and blood pressure, such as labetolol (Normodyne®)."

[ 1] Eating foods rich in iodine ensures the thyroid is able to manage metabolism, detoxification, growth and development. Research has shown that a lack of dietary iodine may lead to enlargement of the thyroid gland [ 2], lethargy [ 3], fatigue [ 4], weakness of the immune system [ 5], slow metabolism [ 6], autism [ 7], weight gain [ 8] and possibly even mental states such as anxiety and depression [ 9]. The good news is that there are many popular foods with iodine, all of which are easy to incorporate into your daily diet. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for iodine is 150 micrograms daily for everybody over the age of 14. The RDA for children ages 1-8 is 90/mcg every day, ages 9-13 is 120/mcg every day. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended that you get 290/mcg every day. [ 10]7 Foods Rich in Iodine Length: 4 minutes Iodine Rich Foods1. Sea Vegetables The ocean hosts the largest storehouse of iodine foods, including Kelp, Arame, Hiziki, Kombu, and Wakame. Kelp has the highest amount of iodine of any food on the planet and just one serving offers 4 times the daily minimum requirement.1 tablespoon of Kelp contains about 2000/mcg of iodine1 tablespoon of Arame contains about 730/mcg of iodine1 tablespoon of Hiziki contains about 780/mcg of iodine1 one inch piece of Kombu contains about 1450/mcg of iodine1 tablespoon of Wakame contains about 80/mcg of iodine I recommend sprinkling these into soups or salads.2.

Ellura is produced from the berry fruit of a North American evergreen shrub. This medicine is acidic and can interfere with unwanted bacteria in the urinary tract. This medicine is also believed to act as a diuretic (\"\"water pill\"\"). Ellura (as juice or in capsules) has been used in alternative medicine as a possibly effective aid in preventing symptoms such as pain or burning with urination. This medicine will not treat the bacteria that causes a bladder infection. Other uses not proven with research have included: urination problems caused by an enlarged prostate; reducing urine odor to improve quality of life in people with urinary incontinence; or healing the skin around the opening of a urostomy (a surgical opening formed to direct urine away from the bladder). It is not certain whether Ellura is effective in treating any medical condition. Medicinal use of this product has not been approved by the FDA. This medicine should not be used in place of medication prescribed for you by your doctor."

Various factors can contribute to the development of cancer since our younger age, but below is the least you must know of what to avoid and what you should take and why you should take those. This article does not stand alone, you must read the whole series to understand the issue deeper. Apart from the title of this article “Good Foods and Bad Foods Related to Cancer”, I think it is better if you read the bad ones first as they are the most you MUST – at any efforts and costs – avoid as much as possible. So let’s start with the bad ones, the foods or substances or nutrients or whatever people or scientists name them. The bad ones to avoid Substances that promote bad cell to develop: Sugar / glucose: cakes, pies, cheesecake, breads, and other sources of refined sugar White flour: white breads, white pasta and the likes Red meats: the irons are good in promoting cancer growth Calcium: promotes prostate cancer Methionine Aspartate: in any form of artificial sugars / sweeteners Glutamate: in any form of food additives or MSG (Mono Sodium Glutamate)Some single-used vitamins SAMe (S-Adenosyl methionine): sold as supplements for treating joint / mobility problem and emotional stability Fluoride: Fluoride and some other metals like mercury and aluminum are very toxic for cells and promote cancer; they are especially bad for brain cells. Cheeses, processed meats and black tea are high with aluminum and fluoride Mercury: Usually comes from vaccines, amalgam dental fillings and contaminated fish Omega 6 fats. Excess in omega 6 oil can lead to cell malfunction and in the end it leads to cancer; these are sources: Corn Safflower Sunflower Peanut Soybean Canola oils Study shown that these oils function as an enhancer for cancer, makes it grow and spread wildly. One of the mechanism how they do this is by increasing the COX-2 enzyme so that they are called the pro-inflammatory fats. The good ones to take Good to protecting our genes and increase DNA repair: Vitamin CVitamin D: 2,000 IU a day Vitamin EOmega 3 fats: olive, flax and coconut oils; help keep cell membrane elastic, protecting the cells, allowing for hydration and oxygenation Selenium: It is available as supplement."

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."

When you consider how large some of them are, this is a remarkable status to have. The adult males are able to grow about 17 feet and they can weigh over 1,000 pounds. Some of them have been noted at 20 feet and more than 2,000 pounds. However, they are the exception and not the normal size for this type or crocodile. Anatomy When on land, the Saltwater Crocodile moves along on its belly. The use of energy is very high for this type of movement. That is why they tend to stay in the water. However, they will spend time on land when they need to get more heat from the sunlight. They will also do so when it is time for the females to create nests."

Description Here is a brief description of the physical features of these crocodiles. Size: The saltwater crocodile can reach to a length of 8 to 10 meters but usually they are around 5 to 7 meters long. The females are smaller in size than the males, generally reaching up to a length around 2.5 to 3 meters. Saltwater Crocodile Weight: Their average weight varies between 1000 and 1500 pounds. Head: These crocodiles have relatively large heads. A pair of ridges run from their eyes along the middle portion of the snout."

I asked Mrs. Ney, and she said her students needed to know their animal habitat, what they eat, their features, and their natural history. Students needed to know this in case something happens to this endangered animal, and children were the only one to take care of it. What Was Already Known What I already knew about the American alligator is little. I knew that it lives in swamps and some lakes or ponds. For example, there have been some in the pond at the University of Florida. I also knew that they have more rounded noses than their relative, the crocodile."

They can be found in states including North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas. The habitat of American alligators includes freshwater streams and rivers, swamps, lakes and marshes. Diet Alligators are carnivorous and feed on a variety of other animals. These animals can include fish, turtles, birds, frogs and small mammals such as squirrels or deer. Unlike crocodiles, alligators are generally afraid of people and will seldom attack them. However, if a person comes near an alligator nest, a female alligator may attack in defense of the nest. Also, due to increasing human interaction with alligators, they are becoming less timid. For this reason, it is very important to never feed alligators in the wild and to always keep a safe distance if one is spotted. Size and Description Adult male alligators are generally larger than females, and grow to approximately 13 - 14 feet from nose to tip of the tail."

Whereas, crocodiles are a light tan or olive green in color with a v-shaped snout that is longer and narrow in front. Most people confuse the alligators and crocodiles, as they are both huge, scaly lizards of prey. What people don’t realize is that while they are similar in some ways, they are two distinctively different, yet equally scary hunters. Both alligators and crocodiles are members of the reptilian order Crocodylia, however they belong to different families. There are a total of 23 types of crocodilians (belonging to the Crocodylia order), including these two. Crocodilians date back 240 million years, that’s 65 million years more than the dinosaurs. Crocodilians can live on both land and water, and can hunt quite efficiently on both. They can swim up to 20 mph (32 kph) and run up to 11 mph (17.6 kph). Crocodiles and alligators can hold their breath up to one hour, and their powerful tails helps them maneuver swiftly in water."

"text": "Wild Fact #319 – A Menace to Society? – Caiman Nathan 6 years ago 2 Comments Photo by Lea Maimone (Wikimedia)There is something eerie about the protrusion of an alligator’s snout and eyes as they cruise their swamp looking for food. Among the alligator species, I think the Caiman has an especially evil, up to no good, look going for them. Today, we are going to Central and South America to see if we can get a close up view of this sinister looking reptile. These alligator species can typically be found blending in with the muddy, marshes they love to inhabit, so you we will need to have a sharp eye to catch a glimpse of this magnificent (but creepy) creature. The Mean Look So what gives the Caiman that menacing look? Well, it could be their long snout or even their beady, yellow eyes (with their sideways eyelids), however, I think the scary part comes from the fact that these alligators don’t generally travel alone. That’s right, if you spot one Caiman, there is a very good chance there are several others around you…..that you may not see!Caiman vs. Crocodile vs. Alligator Sometimes telling the difference between a caiman, an alligator and a crocodile can be difficult. The easiest way to distinguish the three species apart is by observing their snout, however, I don’t recommend getting too close :).

"text": "© Miroslav Hlavko/Shutterstock.com To many people, lizards and turtles are bizarre-looking creatures. Many lizards are considered menacing because of their seemingly expressionless faces combined with their claws and teeth, whereas turtles are thought of as slow-moving, docile creatures. Most lizards, in reality, are harmless to humans, as are most turtles; however, there are certain members of both groups that can kill, maim, make ill, or inflict at least mild levels of pain on their hapless human victims. Some lizards are, in fact, venomous, and some are quite aggressive. Gila monster ( Heloderma suspectum)Richard Weymouth Brooks/Photo Researchers The Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum) was named for the Gila River Basin and occurs in parts of the U. S. states of Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico and the Mexican states of Sonora and Sinaloa. It grows to about 50 cm (about 20 inches), is stout-bodied with black and pink blotches or bands, and has beadlike scales. They are the largest lizards in the United States. During warm weather the Gila monster feeds at night on small mammals, birds, and eggs. Fat stored in the tail and abdomen at this time is utilized during the winter months. The large head and muscular jaws of the Gila monster yield a strong bite that is held while venom seeps into the wound."

Phylogenetic analysis of turtles has resulted in much controversy and conflicting results that vary depending on the techniques used. Molecular evidence also contradicts previous evolutionary classifications based on gross morphological comparisons. The extant evidence shows that turtles appear in the fossil record fully formed. Image by Lisa Pizzarella. An artist’s conception of Proganochelys based on fossil evidence. Note the distinct mountains and valleys in the top shell. The top shell and other features are very similar to the modern alligator turtle. Turtles are ideal animals for testing evolutionary ideas because some of their most unique structures, such as their hard shells, preserve extremely well in the fossil record. What also makes turtles perfect candidates for studying evolution is that their body plan is unique among tetrapods, and would require ‘some remarkable changes in the skeleton and internal organs’ as they evolved from a typical tetrapod to a carapace-plastron clad turtle."

"text": "Parman R. Green Extension agricultural business management specialist Weather variability is one of the largest sources of risk in agricultural production. Congress has recognized the impact of weather variability on crop production and the resulting variability to farm income by implementing a special tax provision. Code Section 451 (d) provides that, under certain circumstances, crop producers reporting on the cash method of accounting may elect to include crop insurance and disaster payments in income of the tax year following the taxable year of crop destruction or damage. To qualify for this election, the taxpayer must establish that the income from the destroyed or damaged crop would have been included in income for a taxable year following the year of destruction or damage under his or her normal business practices. Additionally, crop disaster program payments received from the federal government qualify for Code Section 451 (d) election if a natural disaster prevented a farmer from planting crops, or it destroyed or damaged crops that had already been planted. Example John Farmer operates a grain farm and uses the cash method of accounting. During 2008 John received the following amounts of insurance proceeds for the damage caused to his crops by a June 20th hailstorm: corn $25,000, soybeans $20,000 and wheat $5,000. If John can establish that under normal business practices he would have reported a substantial amount of the income from the 2008 crops in a subsequent tax year — he may report the insurance proceeds as 2008 income or he can elect to defer the $50,000 of insurance proceeds to 2009. Observation Substantial portion of the crop is considered to be more than 50 percent. To qualify for deferral, the insured must suffer an actual — not a contingent loss."

Turns out, it depends on HOW your beneficiary receives the death benefit (as a lump-sum or as an annuity) and the value of your estate. Let’s take an example…Life insurance typically pays out as a lump-sum. The amount of the lump-sum that is paid out to the beneficiary is the face amount of the policy, or the total amount of the insurance. To break it down: if you are insured for a $500,000 dollar policy, your beneficiary will receive $500,000 if you pass away during the life of your policy, and this amount will generally not be taxed as federal or state income.

"text": "Taxation of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance: Traps for the Unwary October 25, 2012, 9:25 AMMost corporate clients assume that proceeds of a life insurance policy insuring the life of an employee are tax free. Revisions to the Internal Revenue Code in 2006 provide, however, that life insurance proceeds are included as taxable income of the corporate owner of a life insurance policy unless certain IRS requirements are met. Corporations often purchase life insurance policies on their important employees who are officers, directors and shareholders. Key man policies are commonly purchased to provide ready cash during the difficult times following the death of a critical or founding corporate employee. More and more corporations purchase policies to fund succession plans involving redemption of the shares of a deceased shareholder. Executive compensation plans also commonly include life insurance components. Our attorneys have seen life insurance agents recommend corporate ownership of policies intended to fund shareholders agreements, as a means to assure that policy premiums are paid timely. Section 101 (j) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that proceeds of these corporate-owned life insurance policies are includable in income for tax purposes, but there is a simple yet critical documentation and return requirement which makes the proceeds non-taxable. IRS Form 8925 must be filed at the end of the year of policy issuance. Form 8925 is a fairly simple informational return, filed with the corporation's income tax return."

"text": "\"How to Minimize Taxable Income from Casualty Loss Insurance Recoveries Many business owners are surprised to learn that the receipt of an insurance recovery for a fire or other casualty loss may result in taxable income. This can occur where the amount of the insurance recovery exceeds the business’s depreciated tax basis in the destroyed property. Fortunately, there is a way to minimize or eliminate this problem: the federal tax rules generally permit businesses in these situations to reduce or eliminate taxable gain by reinvesting the insurance proceeds in so-called \"\"similar use\"\" property. In this scenario, taxable gain is generally recognized as the amount of insurance proceeds that are not used to purchase the replacement property. The character of any recognized gain will generally be ordinary income to the extent of \"\"depreciation recapture\"\" gain, with the remaining gain taxable as capital gain. To illustrate how this works in practice, imagine that your company purchases an automobile for $30,000, and several years later the car is totaled in an accident when its depreciated tax basis is $15,000. Your company receives a check from the insurance company for $20,000, which was the vehicle’s fair market value at the time of the accident. The \"\"gain\"\" on this insurance recovery is $5,000 -- the difference between the insurance recovery and the car’s depreciated tax basis. If your company does not replace the destroyed vehicle, then the company will have to include $5,000 of taxable gain on its tax return for the year of the recovery. In this example the gain would be taxed as \"\"depreciation recapture\"\" ordinary income."

"text": "\"Wouldn't it be nice if you could pass on your entire estate free of taxation? While this scenario is highly unlikely, there are some smart decisions that you can make to avoid future tax consequences. One poor decision that investors seem to make frequently is the naming of \"\"payable to my estate\"\" as the beneficiary of a contractual agreement such as an IRA account, an annuity or a life insurance policy. However, when you name the estate as your beneficiary, you take away the contractual advantage of naming a real person and subject the financial product to the probate process. Leaving items to your estate increases the estate's value, and it could subject your heirs to exceptionally high estate taxes. Here we show you some of the ways that you can reduce the taxes on your estate and ensure that your heirs will benefit from it as much as possible. Taxation of Life Insurance Death Benefits One of the benefits of owning life insurance is the ability to generate a large sum of money payable to your heirs in the event of your death. An even greater advantage is the federal income-tax free benefit that life insurance proceeds receive when they are paid to your beneficiary. However, although the proceeds are income-tax free, they may still be included as part of your taxable estate for estate tax purposes.

"text": "Finance & Investment How to Maximize Your 1031 Exchange A few simple rules can help prevent taxpayers from getting the ‘boot. ’Steven Gellerstein Esq. | Mar 01, 2010Like-kind exchanges allowed under Section 1031 of the tax code are a valuable method of deferring the payment of capital gains taxes on the sale of qualified property. However, if the taxpayer receives cash or cash equivalents from the sale or uses exchange proceeds for non-qualified expenses, it may be considered “boot” and result in reportable capital gains. When 1031 exchange proceeds are used to buy a hotel, for example, only the building and land will be considered like-kind in the exchange. Personal property, such as the beds, desks and chairs that are included in the sale cannot be paid for with exchange funds, or it will be taxed as boot. To avoid boot, a taxpayer should purchase personal property and real property in a separate transaction. The taxpayer can also allocate the purchase price between the personal property and the real property and pay for the personal property with other funds and not exchange proceeds. Any cash or cash equivalents, like promissory notes received in the exchange will be considered boot and taxable. In a like-kind exchange, the property sold by the taxpayer is called the “relinquished property” and the property being purchased is called the “replacement property."

"text": "\"< TAXES & TAXATIONGIFTING AND THE GIFT TAX© 2007 by Eric Holk Certified Specialist in Estate Planning, Trust & Probate Law The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization Gift Tax The federal government imposes a gift tax on certain lifetime transfers made by any individual. Each taxpayer can give away up to $14,000 per calendar year to an unlimited number of different people, and none of those gifts will be deemed taxable gifts (see “Annual Exclusion Gifts” discussion below for more detail). Transfers to any one person in any one year above the annual exclusion amount is considered a “taxable gift.” However, as of 2014, each taxpayer has the right to make taxable gift transfers of up to $5,340,000 total during his or her lifetime (above and beyond the $14,000 annual exclusion gifts) without actually having to pay any gift tax, even though such gifts are considered “taxable.” Lifetime taxable gift transfers in excess of the $5,340,000 will require the taxpayer to pay a gift tax of 40% on the excess. Only the amount above the $5,340,000 requires the payment of a gift tax; until you exceed the $5,340,000 grand total, no actual gift tax is due. Example: In 2014, you make the following gifts:$10,000 to Mick Jagger.$14,000 to Emmylou Harris.$5,354,000 to [somebody you love].$20,000 to Hillary Rodham Clinton.$20,000 to Rush Limbaugh. The gifts to Mick and Emmylou fall within the $14,000 annual exclusion, so these gifts are neither taxable nor reportable. The other three gifts all exceed the annual exclusion, so those gifts must be reported. The first $14,000 of each of those gifts qualifies for the annual exclusion, so that part of each gift is not subject to gift tax."

They are typically divided into two groups. The mountain gorilla lives in the mountainous regions of central Africa, while the lowland gorilla lives in the flat, dense forests of central and western Africa. Though the two types are very similar, they have a few differences. For example, mountain gorillas tend to have longer hair, whereas lowland gorillas have short, soft hair, according to the Smithsonian . Another difference is size. Lowland gorillas are 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters) tall and weigh 150 to 400 lbs. ( 68 to 181 kilograms). Mountain gorillas are about the same height, though they tend to weigh a bit more.

There are animals which have been excluded who could probably make it here but there is a lack of research on their bite, since it is hard and expensive to measure. A notable exception will be the Great White Shark, but I was unable to find a number that was not theoretical. The Tasmanian devil seems to have the most powerful bite relative to its body size of any living animal tested, at 200 psi followed closely by the African Painted Dogs (that killed a two year old boy who fell into their pit in the Pittsburgh Zoo yesterday). Each animals bite is measured in PSI or pounds per square inch.10Lion600 psi A surprise placing for the “king of the jungle” (though it has never lived in a jungle). Lions are the only social cat in the world. They are so cooperative when they hunt that this might be one of the reasons they have a evolved to have the weakest bite of the genus Pathera or big cat. Another reason might be that their hunting habit, strangling its prey by biting its trachea, lacks the need of a strong bite. Lions hunt at any time but usually hunt for large prey at night. They also drink water daily if they can but can go five days without.9Tiger1050 psi The biggest species of the cat family, the tiger is a solitary hunter."

You can see a map of where they live here: http://maps.iucnredlist.org/map.html?id=10300 Capybara are semi-aquatic so you can find them on riverbanks, in marshes, reedbeds and in estuaries. They also live happily on cattle ranches. However, you'll never find a capybara far from water. Capybara are really sociable. They live in huge family groups, usually of 10-20 animals, but sometimes up to 100 can be found together! As you might expect from sociable animals, capybara like to make a lot of noise... they tend to chatter to each other when in groups, and also make a barking sound like a dog when they are scared, or when they are rounding up their babies. They also communicate through smell, using special scent glands on their bottoms and on the males' noses (which you might be able to see in this picture ). They use these scent glands to mark their territories, and each capybara probably has its own individual smell that they can use to recognize each other. Capybara are herbivores, meaning they eat the leaves of grasses and other plants, although they sometimes eat fruits too if they can find them."

"text": "Basic Facts About Gorillas Closely linked by DNA, gorillas (family Hominidae) are one of the four species of great apes that are the closest living relatives of humans – the other three are chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans. Great apes are different from monkeys for a variety of reasons: they are larger, walk upright for a longer period of time, don’t have tails and have much larger, more developed brains. There are four subspecies of gorillas: the eastern lowland or Grauer’s gorilla ( Gorilla beringei graueri ); the mountain gorilla ( Gorilla beringei beringei ); the western lowland gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ); and the Cross River gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla diehl ). Like all great apes, gorillas have arms that are longer than their legs and tend to walk on all four limbs at certain times – a movement that is called knuckle walking. Adult males are known as 'silverbacks' due to the distinctive silver-colored hair on their backs. Gorillas' appearances can vary based on sub-species, but for the most part, the western subspecies tend to be brownish gray in color, while the eastern and mountain gorillas tend to have a more blackish coat. Mountain gorillas also have longer and thicker fur which is adapted to their colder mountainous habitat. The three lowland subspecies of gorillas sport short, fine hair. Eastern lowland gorillas are the largest of the four subspecies. Diet Gorillas are herbivores and eat leaves, shoots, roots, vines and fruits."

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

It is such a sad reality but it is unfortunately seems inevitable. With how we hunt these species down, the planet Earth will surely lose its most special species sooner than anticipated. The species will not have a good chance of surviving at all, and not only those already in danger but those who are common in today's world as well. The day would come that we have to face the compelling aftermath of our actions. On the other hand, not only do man's actions determine the fate of these animals, but climate change plays a major role in the decline of their existence as well."

"text": "Many vegetarians will argue that the majority of mammals eat a vegetarian diet and fare very well. ( They haven’t taken into account wolves, coyotes, foxes, and all other dogs, badgers, bears, big (and small) cats, the civet family (mongooses, genets, and meerkats), weasels and wolverines, martens, sea and river otters, seals, toothed whales (sperm and killer whales, orcas, porpoises, and other dolphins), and the tiny carnivorous tarsier monkey, just to name a few). Even wild chimps occasionally eat meat when they can kill a sick or injured animal). Vegetarians will tell you that gorillas can lift 10 times their weight on a diet composed almost entirely of plants, while even the strongest among humans can only lift 3 times their weight, but that has more to do with upper body and limb size, and the shoulder structure of apes than it does their diet. What people who espouse vegetarianism haven’t figured out is that the gorilla’s digestive anatomy is much different than ours and that gorillas, like all other mammals, really eat a high fat diet. Gorillas and other herbivores have developed big guts (protruding bellies) to accommodate their larger and longer colon (as compared to humans). They need it to provide room for enough bacteria to ferment plant fibers and cellulose which produces short-chain fatty acids as a byproduct, and they must eat all day long, as much as 50 pounds of plants a day for this to work. The end product of all this eating is fat. In fact whether they’re omnivores, herbivores, or carnivores, the end source of energy for all animals is fatty acids. Herbivores have very specialized guts, sometimes with more than one stomach, and have to eat continuously for this complex fermentation system to work."

All of these types, or subspecies, are native to the African continent. Gorillas are an endangered species, with only one of the subspecies, the western lowland, having a significant population. Exact counts of gorilla populations are difficult as the shy apes live in secluded tropical and subtropical forests. The two species are the eastern gorilla, Gorilla beringei, and the western gorilla, Gorilla gorilla. The western species has two subspecies: the western lowland gorilla, G. gorilla gorilla, and the Cross River gorilla, G. gorilla diehli. Eastern gorillas consist of two types of gorilla: the eastern lowland gorilla, G. beringei grauen, and the mountain gorilla, G. beringei beringei. Western lowland gorillas are native to several areas of Africa including Angola, Congo, and Cameroon. This is the type of gorilla that is frequently seen in zoos."

"text": "Basic Facts About Gorillas Closely linked by DNA, gorillas (family Hominidae) are one of the four species of great apes that are the closest living relatives of humans – the other three are chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans. Great apes are different from monkeys for a variety of reasons: they are larger, walk upright for a longer period of time, don’t have tails and have much larger, more developed brains. There are four subspecies of gorillas: the eastern lowland or Grauer’s gorilla ( Gorilla beringei graueri ); the mountain gorilla ( Gorilla beringei beringei ); the western lowland gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla gorilla ); and the Cross River gorilla ( Gorilla gorilla diehl ). Like all great apes, gorillas have arms that are longer than their legs and tend to walk on all four limbs at certain times – a movement that is called knuckle walking. Adult males are known as 'silverbacks' due to the distinctive silver-colored hair on their backs. Gorillas' appearances can vary based on sub-species, but for the most part, the western subspecies tend to be brownish gray in color, while the eastern and mountain gorillas tend to have a more blackish coat. Mountain gorillas also have longer and thicker fur which is adapted to their colder mountainous habitat. The three lowland subspecies of gorillas sport short, fine hair. Eastern lowland gorillas are the largest of the four subspecies. Diet Gorillas are herbivores and eat leaves, shoots, roots, vines and fruits."

Hyena is carnivores and the behavior of this animal is a scavenger and it also has a strong jaw. You might think that hyenas look like dogs but they are more related to cats; they belong to the suborder feliformia and they can kill dogs with a single bite to the neck, which has been observed by many people over the period of time.

Although most bird books recognize populations along the coast and around the Puget Sound to be a distinct species called the Northwestern crow ( Corvus caurinus ), some experts classify the smaller Northwestern crow as a subspecies of the American crow. Crows will occupy almost any woodland, farmland, orchard, or residential neighborhood, as long as sufficient shelter and enough trees suitable for nesting are available. They seem to prefer lower elevations and moist places, including creeks, streams, and lakeshores. The Northwestern crow is found almost exclusively in very close proximity to Puget Sound and coastal marine waters. Ravens (Fig.2) appear similar to crows and are found throughout Washington, except in major urban areas where competition from crows and a lack of nesting sites are probably too great."

One might suppose that this question could be answered – indeed it often is answered – by a simple table of ages per species. Any such table is however likely to be very misleading. A bit of background Animals vary enormously in their reproductive strategies. Some – such as most fish – provide no care or protection to their offspring, but produce immense numbers of eggs in the hope that a few will survive. ( These are known to ecologists as r-selected species.) Others produce only a few offspring but give them care and protection so that a higher proportion of those few manage to survive. ( These are known as K-selected species.) Humans are right at the extreme “K” end of the spectrum."

No other bird group is so beautifulor so rich in variety of plumage and behavior as the birds of paradise. They are usually heavy-billed and rather stout birds, but there are many species, each having its own unique look and colors. Birds of paradise range from the size of a starling to the size of a crow. And that doesn't include the male's feathery tail that can be up to 3 feet (1 meter) long, depending on species!In plumage, birds of paradise range from black to a painter’s palette of bright colors.

Originally thought to be a skill only possessed by humans, some tool use requires a sophisticated level of cognition. There is considerable discussion about the definition of what constitutes a tool and therefore which behaviours can be considered as true examples of tool use. A wide range of animals are considered to use tools including mammals, birds, fish, cephalopods and insects. Primates are well known for using tools for hunting or gathering food and water, cover for rain, and self-defence. Chimpanzees have been the object of study, most famously by Jane Goodall, since these animals are more-often kept in captivity than other primates and are closely related to humans. Tool-use in other primates are lesser-known as many of them are mainly observed in the wild.

Habitat The gray partridge prefers open, grassy areas in a cool, dry climate. Unlike other game bird species, however, the partridge can tolerate intensive agricultural development and actually seeks out habitats, such as farmland, on which most of the land is cultivated. Small, heavily cultivated farms of about 100 acres particularly appeal to the partridge. On these farmlands, the gray partridge requires an abundance of protective fence rows, shelter belts and undisturbed roadside cover. It uses these areas for escape routes and also for nesting, resting and winter cover. After a harvest, ground stubbles serve as feeding and roosting areas for partridge coveys. Brood numbers are limited by the abundance of insect prey for chicks, the amount of nesting cover and the level of predators present while nesting.

In Denmark, it has been suggested that this trap alone was responsible for a significant reduction in the national magpie population from 1965. Larsen traps will catch all corvid pest species (i.e. crows, magpies. jackdaws, jays, rooks) at all times of year. but their particular value is in catching crows and magpies when these birds set up their breeding territories. The trap mechanism involves a spring door to each catching compartment, which when set is held open by a split perch. In order to enter the trap, birds the size of a magpie or crow inevitably drop onto the perch. The perch gives way, and the birds momentum takes it past the bottom of the door, which flips up - et voila!"

It's best to enter the tattoo studio well informed if you are seeking a crow tattoo. We speak of a herd of horses, a school of fish, a pride of lions, a gaggle of geese, but crows? A grouping of crows is described as a 'murder' of crows. When it comes to this species of bird's reputation, it seems the crow can't catch a break. Perhaps it's because in the West (or at least, the recent West), the Crow has long been considered a bad omen. Even within cultures where the crow is seen as the keeper of sacred laws, it is still symbolic of the 'dark side' - by which is meant 'that which is unknown'. Heckle and Jeckle, the comical cartoon duo of yesteryear, did their best to lighten the crow's reputation, but even they played upon the bird's dark and mischievous nature. Native Americans, however, had a different take on this intelligent bird, the First Nations of North America adopting the crow as a symbol of ancient wisdom and magic. The idea of 'crow as bad omen' originates in Europe, possibly because it eats carrion, or because it has been observed neglecting its young."

Difference between Crows and Ravens Crows and ravens are birds of the C orvidae family that are mainly renowned for their intelligence in tool use, enemy identification, problem solving and mimicry. Both birds generally have black and glossy bodies which may have small patches of gray or white. The two birds are found in practically all habitats of the world and exhibit similar characteristics, making it difficult to distinguish them apart. Both crows and ravens are omnivores and keep food cashes for harsh seasons. Although the birds share many similar characteristics, there are a variety of subtle differences in their respective behaviors that help differentiate them.

Credit: Christen Bossu (left); John Haslam via Wikimedia Commons (right)From Quanta Magazine ( find original story here ). Most people don’t get to use the tree-climbing skills they perfected as children once they’re adults. But for Jochen Wolf, an evolutionary biologist at Uppsala University in Sweden, climbing trees is an essential part of his job. He regularly shimmies 60 feet up into the treetops, where he gingerly plucks fledgling crows from their nests and lowers them to his team below. Wolf’s climbing exploits have focused on two species of birds — carrion crows, which predominate in western Germany, and the closely related hooded crows that prevail further to the east, in Sweden and Poland. The two groups can mate with each other, but they look very different — carrion crows are black, and hooded crows have black-and-gray bodies — and the birds strongly prefer mates of their own kind. For a long as anyone can remember, the two groups have remained distinct, save for a narrow band of habitat stretching from Denmark through eastern Germany to northern Italy where they sometimes intermingle. The crows present a puzzling question to biologists, which gets to the heart of what it means to be a species: Given that hooded and carrion crows can mate and swap genes, how do the two groups maintain their individual identities? It’s as if you mixed red and yellow paint in a bucket but the two colors stubbornly refused to make orange."

Even a number of Indians west of the continental divide crossed the Rocky Mountains in traditional tribal hunts on the Northern Great Plains. [ 1] [2] The species' dramatic decline was the result of habitat loss due to the expansion of ranching and farming in western North America, industrial-scale hunting practiced by non-indigenous hunters, increased indigenous hunting pressure due to non-indigenous demand for bison hides and meat, and even cases of deliberate policy by settler governments to destroy the food source of the native Indian peoples during times of conflict.

It is believed to have evolved into the giant Ice Age bison ( Bison latifrons) which lived from 200,000 years ago to 30,000 years ago. It was in turn replaced by Bison occidentalis, which is believed to have come from Eurasia, and Bison antiquus which evolved separately from B. priscus. The first human arrivals in North America, the Paleo-Indians, are believed to have hunted these last two species ( occidentalis and antiquus ), but did not rely on them to the exclusion of other large herbavorous mammals such as mammoths, mastodons, camels, horses, and ground sloths. Around 11,000-10,000 years ago, however, the majority of the large game species in North America became extinct, possibly due to climate change, overhunting, or some combination of these and other factors. One of the few large survivors was B. antiquus, but its average size declined until it evolved into the smaller modern American bison around 5,000 years ago.

Unbeknownst to them, centuries of hard-scrabble living hasn’t always been enough to qualify these horses as “wild” animals or protect them as “native” wildlife. How did our horses get corralled into this modern management and political nether-land? It’s a long story, a story that -- in many ways -- is interwoven with the fates of 80 million native people already living in the Americas when Europeans arrived. Horses evolved in North America (NA) about 55 million years ago, and eventually expanded into Europe by crossing the Bering land bridge. About 10,000 years ago, Paleo-Indians crossed the same land bridge and spread east and south into NA and, within 2,000 years, horses were extinct here on their native continent. ( The charred bones of native NA horses, camels and mastodons would later turn up in cooking pits excavated by modern paleontologists. ) Horses were missing from NA for 8,000 years, while some bands in Europe were caught and domesticated. Starting with Columbus’ second voyage in 1493, Spanish explorers brought horses back to NA. As these domesticated ponies escaped or were stolen and traded by the Native Americans, bands of free-ranging horses quickly re-established across much of western NA."

"text": "Customs union, a trade agreement by which a group of countries charges a common set of tariffs to the rest of the world while granting free trade among themselves. It is a partial form of economic integration that offers an intermediate step between free-trade zones (which allow mutual free trade but lack a common tariff system) and common markets (which, in addition to the common tariffs, also allow free movement of resources such as capital and labour between member countries). A free-trade zone with common tariffs is a customs union. Harold Macmillan discussing Britain's position relative to the European Common Market, 1956. Stock footage courtesy The WPA Film Library It has long been recognized that tariff barriers generally reduce the quantity of trade between countries. Under most circumstances this reduction in trade protects certain domestic producers, but it also translates into higher costs for consumers in both the importing and the exporting country. Many governments attempt to resolve this problem by protecting politically favoured producers while also reducing consumer costs. Customs unions, along with other forms of partial economic integration, offer one means of achieving that balance. In free-trade zones, several countries agree to drop tariff barriers to each other’s goods in the hope that each will capture at least as much of the gains from trading as they face in losses for some domestic producers. One flaw in the free-trade zone approach is the absence of common external tariffs."

"text": "ZOLLVEREINfoundation of the zollverein and its economic importancetrade policy and nation buildingbibliography The image of the German Zollverein (customs union, formed in 1834 between the members of the German Confederation) has been heavily influenced by two nineteenth century authors. The famous economist Friedrich List (1789–1846) as early as the 1830s spoke of the Zollverein and the railways as the Siamese twins of German economic modernization, thus stressing the importance of market integration for the Industrial Revolution. The famous historian Heinrich von Treitschke (1834–1896) a half a century later linked the foundation of the German Zollverein in 1834 to the battle of Königgrätz (1866), drawing a direct line from the beginnings of the customs union to national unification under Otto von Bismarck (1815–1898). While more recent authors are quite skeptical about either claim, the economic consequences of market integration and nation building still dominate the literature on the German Zollverein.foundation of the zollverein and its economic importance While the post-Napoleonic German Confederation proved unable to agree upon a common trade policy, the still more than forty German states after 1815 at least began to abandon the internal tariff borders running through their territories. In the following years—and after difficult negotiations—agreements between some German states were reached so that by the late 1820s three customs unions transcending the borders of single German states had been founded. In the south Bavaria and Württemberg had formed an alliance, while in the north Hesse-Darmstadt had joined Prussia. Partly as a reaction to the latter, and with support from the Austrian government, Hanover, Hesse-Cassel, Saxony, and a number of smaller states formed a Middle German Commercial Union later that year (1828). The tension between its character as an anti-Prussian bulwark and its conception as a tariff union clearly diminished its economic attractiveness. The initiative thus fell to the customs union dominated by Prussia, which as early as 1829 reached a first agreement with the southern customs union of Bavaria and Württemberg. A further decisive step on the way to the German Zollverein was taken when Hesse-Cassel joined the customs union dominated by Prussia in 1833, thus bridging the territorial gap between the eastern and western provinces of Prussia."

"text": "Home | CEE | 2nd edition | International Trade Agreements E ver since Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations in 1776, the vast majority of economists have accepted the proposition that free trade among nations improves overall economic welfare. Free trade, usually defined as the absence of tariffs, quotas, or other governmental impediments to international trade, allows each country to specialize in the goods it can produce cheaply and efficiently relative to other countries. Such specialization enables all countries to achieve higher real incomes. Although free trade provides overall benefits, removing a trade barrier on a particular good hurts the shareholders and employees of the domestic industry that produces that good. Some of the groups that are hurt by foreign competition wield enough political power to obtain protection against imports. Consequently, barriers to trade continue to exist despite their sizable economic costs. According to the U. S. International Trade Commission, for example, the U. S. gain from removing trade restrictions on textiles and apparel would have been almost twelve billion dollars in 2002 alone. This is a net economic gain after deducting the losses to firms and workers in the domestic industry. Yet, domestic textile producers have been able to persuade Congress to maintain tight restrictions on imports. While virtually all economists think free trade is desirable, they differ on how best to make the transition from tariffs and quotas to free trade."

"text": "\"A cooperative (also co-operative or co-op) is an association of persons who join together to carry on an economic activity of mutual benefit. Contents [ show]Meaning Edit The term may be used loosely to signify its members' ideology (as in 'jazz coop') but a mainstream cooperative comprises a legal entity owned and democratically controlled by its members, with no passive shareholders, unless they hold non-voting shares. It thus combines the equal control characteristic of many partnerships with the legal personality conferred on corporations. Membership is open, meaning that anyone who satisfies certain non-discriminatory conditions may join. Unlike a union, in some jurisdictions a cooperative may assign different numbers of votes to different members. However most cooperatives are governed on a strict \"\"one member, one vote\"\" basis, to avoid the concentration of control in an elite. Economic benefits are distributed proportionally according to each member's level of economic interest in the cooperative, for instance by a dividend on sales or purchases. Cooperatives may be generally classified as either consumer or producer cooperatives, depending largely on their membership. Classification is also often based on their function or trade sector. In the United States most cooperatives are corporations or limited liability companies (LLCs) but other legal entities may also be used."

Globalization has had a tremendous effect on the social partners and the labour relations have had to deal with new and dynamic situations. This paper will aim to shed light into the globalization impacts on industrial relations. We will also discuss how the future looks for trade unions in the European Union. Globalization and industrial relations Globalization became particularly popular in the 1990s and has ever since been discussed for its impact in the society. This was due to the demands that the international competition and rapid technology changes which together are the globalization forces and their resultant changes in the nature of operation of the market and product organization. Most economists almost agree that in the long-run, globalization benefits will outweigh the short-term costs. The impact of globalization means the integration of markets and supply chains, global market development and a quick spread of technology. Some analysts claim that there is more regionalization that globalization concerning the fact that half of the world trade and that of worldwide circulation of capital takes place in the EU. The social impact concern is that liberalization of trade."

Its major activities involve coordinating economic policies and development planning; devising and instituting special projects for the less-developed countries within its jurisdiction; operating as a regional single market for many of its members (Caricom Single Market); and handling regional trade disputes.

Let Us Help You Trade Regulations are laws enacted by Congress and/or by a state to ensure a free and competitive economy. The U. S. Constitution, through the Commerce Clause, gives Congress exclusive power over trade activities between the states and with foreign countries. These regulations promote free trade and fair competition, and prohibit anti-competitive business practices. Trade regulation is closely associated with antitrust law, and is often referred to as antitrust and trade regulation law. Antitrust law prohibits anti-competitive conduct or business structures, such as price-fixing, bid-rigging, trusts and monopolies. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces federal consumer protection laws that prohibit fraud, deception, and other unfair business practices. The FTC also enforces federal antitrust laws that prohibit anti-competitive mergers and other business practices that restrict competition and harm consumers. Trade regulation rules have the force of law. Other federal agencies that assist in trade regulation include the Department of Commerce (DOC) and its bureau, the International Trade Administration (ITA)."

Established in 1818, the original union cemented economic ties between the various Prussian and Hohenzollern territories, and ensured economic contact between the non-contiguous holdings of the Hohenzollern family, which was also the ruling family of Prussia. It expanded between 1820 to 1866 to include most of the German states. Austria was excluded because of its highly protected industry; this economic exclusion exacerbated the Austro-Prussian rivalry for dominance in central Europe, particularly in the 1850s and 1860s. With the founding of the North German Confederation in 1867, the Zollverein included approximately 425,000 square kilometres, and had produced economic agreements with non-German states like Sweden and Luxembourg. Historians have seen three Prussian goals: as a political tool to eliminate Austrian influence in Germany; as a way to improve the economies; and to strengthen Germany against potential French aggression while reducing the economic independence of smaller states. [ 1] The Customs Union created a larger market for German-made farm and handicraft products and promoted commercial unification under fiscally sound economic parameters. While the Union sought to limit trade and commercial barriers between and among member states, it continued to uphold the protectionist barriers with outsiders."

The formation of the East African Community (EAC) in 1999 by the United Republic of Tanzania, the Republic of Kenya and the Republic of Uganda was the achievement of the trio’s cooperation since the collapse of the original EAC in 1977. The enthusiasm of the EAC to facilitate trade among its members is enshrined in Article 5 (2) of the Treaty establishing the East African Community which states that the first stage of EAC integration will be the formation of a Customs Union, skipping the earlier stages of Preferential Trade Area and Free Trade Area. The EAC Customs Union Protocol came into force in January 2005. The Customs Union has four major elements: (1) the establishment of a Common External Tariff (CET); (2) the establishment of EAC Rules of Origin (Ro O) criteria, including Certificates of Origin and Simplified Certificates of Origin; (3) the internal elimination of tariffs for goods meeting the EAC Ro O criteria and (4) the elimination of Non Tariff Barriers (NTBs). The primary objective of the Protocol establishing the Customs Union is to facilitate inter and intra regional trade in goods."

Copied Select a Section 1 /0Abstract: The People’s Republic of China is a major U. S. trading partner and a potential antagonist. Thus, the United States has good reason to exercise some control over U. S. exports, particularly of sensitive technologies. However, current U. S. export controls are often counterproductive, failing to deny opponents and potential opponents access to sensitive U. S. technologies, while inhibiting cooperation with U. S. allies and placing U. S. companies at a competitive disadvantage in the world market. The Obama Administration’s efforts to streamline the export control system have great merit, but need to focus on maintaining U. S. advantages, creating a nimble export control system that adjusts quickly to technological advances, and attaining a better understanding of the intricate connections between the military and civilian sectors of the Chinese economy. Each year, the United States exports billions of dollars in manufactured goods. Some of these items are explicitly military (e.g., fighter aircraft and tanks), while others are dual-use, including advanced materials, computer processors, and software. It is clearly in the interests of the United States to maintain some degree of control over its exports, if only to safeguard security-related technologies and deny them to its potential adversaries, as well as to support other aims such as nonproliferation. However, the United States has an equally high interest in supporting a healthy U. S. economy and fostering international political links, which require sustaining a robust portfolio of exports. These two goals, while hardly irreconcilable, at times work at cross-purposes."

"text": "History of the U. S. Telegraph Industry Tomas Nonnenmacher, Allegheny College Introduction The electric telegraph was one of the first telecommunications technologies of the industrial age. Its immediate predecessors were homing pigeons, visual networks, the Pony Express, and railroads. By transmitting information quickly over long distances, the telegraph facilitated the growth in the railroads, consolidated financial and commodity markets, and reduced information costs within and between firms. This entry focuses on the industrial organization of the telegraph industry from its inception through its demise and the industry’s impact on the American economy. The Development of the Telegraph The telegraph was similar to many other inventions of the nineteenth century. It replaced an existing technology, dramatically reduced costs, was monopolized by a single firm, and ultimately was displaced by a newer technology. Like most radical new technologies, the telecommunications revolution of the mid-1800s was not a revolution at all, but rather consisted of many inventions and innovations in both technology and industrial organization. This section is broken into four parts, each reviewing an era of telegraphy: precursors to the electric telegraph, early industrial organization of the industry, Western Union’s dominance, and the decline of the industry. Precursors to the Electric Telegraph Webster’s definition of a telegraph is “an apparatus for communicating at a distance by coded signals.” The earliest telegraph systems consisted of smoke signals, drums, and mirrors used to reflect sunlight."

[ 1] Some territories within the EU do not participate in the customs union, usually as a result of their geographic circumstances. Besides the EUCU, the EU, through separate agreements, is in customs unions with Andorra, San Marino, and Turkey, with the exceptions of certain goods. [ 2]The customs union is a principal component of the European Economic Community, established in 1958, and now succeeded by the European Union. No customs duties are levied on goods travelling within the customs union and—unlike a free trade area —members of the customs union impose a common external tariff on all goods entering the union. A precondition of the customs union is that the European Commission negotiates for and on behalf of the Union as a whole in international trade deals such as the World Trade Organisation, rather than each member state negotiating individually.
