"text": "What’s The Difference Between Oranges, Mandarins, Satsumas, Clementines, Tangerines? September 30, 2016 By Steve Cook Unsure of the differences between these small citrus fruits, many people confuse often oranges, mandarins, Tangerines, Clementines, and Satsumas. In fact, throughout the United States, the terms mandarin and tangerine are used interchangeably, even though they are not the same thing. While a tangerine is a type of mandarin, not all mandarins are tangerines. But the confusion isn’t really a surprise, as the Citrus Variety Collection of the University of California has 167 different hybrids and varieties of mandarins listed. Here’s a breakdown of the differences between these popular and delicious citrus fruits: Oranges are second in size to the grapefruit. This citrus fruit has a thick skin, is round in shape, and has a tart flavor. Mandarins are a type of orange and the overarching category that Tangerines, Clementines, and Satsumas fall into. They are generally smaller and sweeter than oranges, a little flatter in shape, and they and have a thinner, looser skin that makes them easier to peel. Tangerines are a specific type of mandarin orange."

"text": "\"Death Cab For Cutie Tickets\"\"I've got a hunger/ twisting my stomach/ into knots\"\" - Death Cab for Cutie's songs are surprisingly mellow for the deep impressions they make. Their lyrics are sharp and memorable and their musical style is gratifying in its keen attention to melody. The lead vocalist, Gibbard has a cultivated, sensitive voice, which has been described by critics as \"\"plaintive boy-next-door.\"\" Death Cab for Cutie, which is generally characterized as an indie-rock band, was formed in 1997, in Bellingham, Washington. The inspiration behind the band's name is the title song from Magical Mystery, a 1967 film by The Beatles. Watch them live in concert as they take the stage once again by booking your Death Cab for Cutie tickets. The song \"\"Meet Me On the Equinox\"\" by Death Cab for Cutie features in New Moon, the sequel to the ultra popular film Twilight. The song was written specifically for the movie but it reflects Ben Gibbrad's personal experience rather than the arc of the screenplay. Gibbard has commented that he was aiming to match the song tonally to the scene instead of letting the song tell the story. He says: \"\"The song at its core is just about meeting another halfway, because life is very short, because there is only a brief period of time to really connect with people and that it's important to recognize that.\"\""

"text": "\"Food & Drink Other - Food & Drink What's the difference between a satsuma, an orange, a clementine, and a tangerine? I always get these four citrus fruits mixed up. What is the difference between them all?3 following 14 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Orange is the largets, and denser packed than the rest. It is the sweetest overall and not a hybrid of anything else. Satsuma is small and sweet, but can be bitter, has loose skin and a less intense flavour than orange. Comes from China. The peel is baggy and the fruit is often looses inside a ripe fruit, when you squeeze the fruit, it separates from the easy to remove skin, less juice than any of the others. Milder flavour. I love the baggy skin, it's so much fun to peel. Seedless Tangerine- tangy and sweet with harder skin than satsuma but still easy to peel."

First, not the easiest job you can do your self but not the hardest either. As far as tools you are looking at a good socket set/breaker bar, and some wire or something to hold your caliper and hub and such up so they are not hanging. You are looking at removing the tire, then the brake caliper, then the axle nut, pulling the wheel, then removing the whole axle. To replace just reverse, put the axle in first then replace the wheel hub/bearing/rotor, and finally the brake caliper and tire. You will also need to look up the torque specs on your axle nut. A shops price would depend on your area, but I know locally for me you are looking at about 500 for one side, and about 650-750 for both."

"text": "April 18th, 1942Launching of the Doolittle Raid Seventy one years ago, the first American air raid on Japan was made, a little more than four months following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The raid, for which Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle earned the Medal of Honor, was instrumental in lifting American morale at the beginning of the United States’ involvement in World War II. In acknowledgement of the 65th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid, the April 2007 issue of Proceedings included an article by Barrett Tillman, which documented the origins of the raid and its influence on American performance in the war. As Tillman emphasized in his article, the Doolittle Raid was not simply valuable for increasing American morale, but for uniting the various service branches in joint efforts to make the best possible use of limited resources in a large-scale war. According to Tillman’s article, the Doolittle Raid was the first of many successful joint efforts, and began a tradition of interservice alliances which continues today. Officially it was the First Special Aviation Project, a bold concept devised by a naval officer—a submariner, no less—and executed by Sailors and Airmen. The timing could not have been better, as it occurred only four-and-a-half months after the debacle at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Only two weeks later, President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered a study to find means of retaliating against Japan, presumably by air. Since no land-based aircraft were capable of reaching the Home Islands from American bases, the focus quickly narrowed to a naval option. ( Planning had already addressed an Army Air Forces operation in China, but logistics and mission radius posed huge problems. )"

"text": "Seattle Subaru CV Boots And Axle Problems Explained By Justin Stobb on August 15, 2009 in All Wheel Drive Auto News, Blogroll, Subaru Maintenance, Subaru Repair Seattle One of the more common repairs we make to Subaru’s are CV (Constant Velocity) boots. Pictured below is a CV or Drive axle on a Subaru. Subaru actually calls the inner joint and boots DOJ (Dual Offset Joint) and the outer joints and boots CV. The typical industry term is inner and outer CV boots and joints and CV axle. A CV axle being a complete assembly consisting of the inner and outer joints and connecting shaft. There is one CV axle per drive wheel. On a modern Subaru there are 4 CV or drive axles. For the purpose of this article I am going to refer to everything as CV. Whichever name they go by, the joint’s job is basically to allow flex or movement out of the drive axle and pretty much every front wheel drive or in the case of your Subaru, All Wheel Drive utilizes this design. The job of the CV boot is to keep the lubricating grease inside the joints and the environment out of the joints as well."

"text": "Home» For Car Owners» Car Terms» CV Joints CV Joint, how it works, symptoms, problems Updated: August 4, 2013CV Joints in a front-wheel drive vehicle. Click for larger picture All front-wheel drive cars have Constant Velocity joints or CV joints on both ends of the drive shafts (half shafts). Inner CV joints connect the drive shafts to the transmission, while the outer CV joints connect the drive shafts to the wheels. Many rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive cars as well as trucks also have CV joints. The CV joints are needed to transfer the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed, while accommodating the up-and-down motion of the suspension. In front-wheel drive cars, CV joints deliver the torque to the front wheels during turns. There are two most commonly used types of CV joints: a ball-type and a tripod-type. In front-wheel drive cars, ball-type CV joints are used on the outer side of the drive shafts ( outer CV joints ), while the tripod-type CV joints mostly used on the inner side ( inner CV joints ).

"text": "What’s a CV Boot?posted on May 16, 2017 by Motor Works, Inc. On front and all-wheel drive cars, the axle shafts are what connect the transmission with the wheels, driving the vehicle along. The axles must flex, allowing the suspension to move up and down and the front wheels to turn right and left, while at the same time transmitting the driving force from the engine to the wheels. Drive Axle Diagram A Broken CV Boot The part that simultaneously enables the axle to flex while transmitting the driving force is called a drive axle joint, and is also known as a constant velocity (or CV) joint. The CV Boot is a ribbed, rubber flexible boot that keeps water and dirt out of the joint and the special grease inside the joint. Pictured here is a view of a front, outer CV boot that has torn open. The greasy mass inside is the actual joint itself. If the car is driven in this condition, the exposed grease is quickly slung out by centrifugal force as the axle rotates, and the joint subsequently becomes contaminated with sand, dirt, rocks, and water, rapidly wearing the joint components. Excessive wear may necessitate replacement of the entire axle shaft assembly, a much more expensive proposition than replacing the boot itself.

They are all part of the shaft assemblies used in front-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In the case of four-wheel-drives, they are called half-shafts because there is one assembly each for the front and rear portions of the vehicle. The shaft assemblies supply torque to the wheels while they are turning and to the suspension while it is moving up and down. The CV boot protects both the inner and outer portions of the CV joint and keeps away water, pebbles, and other road dirt from entering into and damaging it. The inner CV joint controls changes in suspension and ride height, while the outer one provides even torque transfer. So when the boot is ripped or cracked, the lubricant inside it could spread and mix with the dirt, damage the joint even more, and affect steering and suspension. Damage to the CV boot leads to damage to the CV joint, sooner or later. It is therefore wise to attend to the littlest sign of defect in the CV boot immediately. Doing so could save you money because the CV joint is much more expensive to replace."

Spicer's 5-760x is a great choice for the front axle shafts and Spicer's 5-1310x would be an equally good choice for a non-Rubicon's driveshafts. Both are triple-sealed and usually good for at least 100k miles."

"text": "How To Kill A Ford Raptor Suspension…Posted in How To: Suspension Brakes on November 4, 2013 Share this Kevin Blumer Contributor Ford's F-150 is not only one of the most popular trucks of all time, it's one of the most popular vehicles (including cars, trucks, and SUVs) of all time. With so many 2004-and-newer F-150s on the road and in the marketplace, it makes a lot of sense to buy and build an F-150 for the dirt. Ford's SVT Raptor is based on the F-150 platform, but unlike the standard truck it's an exclusive and pricey machine. The Raptor hit dealer lots during the 2010 model year, so secondhand Raptors aren't exactly plentiful just yet. In the interest of pinching pennies, we wanted to see how possible it was to snap up a standard F-150, build it, and end up with something roundly superior to a Raptor. Can you kill a Raptor with a standard-issue F-150? We hoped so, but when you break it down feature for feature the Raptor becomes more and more of a bargain. How's that? Ford imbued the Raptor with Off-Road Mode. While Off-Road Mode is engaged, the ABS system is shut off, the Advance Trac RSC (roll stability control), and traction control are also completely shut off, giving you total control of your truck in the dirt."

"text": "Double Jointed - U-Joint Differences Posted in How To on June 1, 2013 Share this Harry Wagner Contributor If you are transferring power in a straight line, you can use a shaft to accomplish it. Add angles and offsets though, and things get tricky. Now you need a universal joint. U-joints are used in driveshafts where you need to get power from the transfer case down to the axles as the suspension cycles. A typical U-joint consists of the center cross (body) with four trunnions, four bearing caps that install on the trunnions, needle bearings inside the caps, and grease seals. We headed to Bayshore Truck, our local Spicer dealer, to compare sizes and types of U-joints for driveline applications. The most common U-joint used in Jeeps and 1⁄2-ton trucks is known as the Spicer 1310 series joint. They are easy to source and are retained with external snap rings. 1330 joints use a larger body than the 1310 joint but the same-size trunnions and caps. They are often found in 3⁄4-ton trucks and allow more angularity than 1310 joints but are only marginally stronger."

"text": "Chassis / Ride Control Dec 1, 2005 12:00 am Suspension Vibration Diagnosis Share Tweet Print Email Larry Carley, author View bio The song “Good Vibrations” by the Beach Boys may have been a big hit in its day, but there’s no such thing as good vibrations or noise when it comes to a customer’s vehicle. Vibrations are annoying and may be a warning signal that something is amiss. So don’t ignore such symptoms. Investigate any unusual noises or vibrations immediately to determine the cause. Most vibrations and noises can be classified according to when they occur: Engine speed sensitive — The vibration/noise is directly related to engine speed and nothing else (not vehicle speed or driving conditions). The symptom appears or changes in direct proportion to engine rpm. Vehicle speed sensitive — The vibration/noise only occurs at certain speeds or changes in direct proportion to vehicle speed. Acceleration/deceleration sensitive — The vibration/noise is only noticed when vehicle speed changes (as when starting out from a stop, passing, slowing down or coasting). Random — The vibration/noise comes and goes with no obvious connection to engine rpm, vehicle speed or driving conditions. DIAGNOSIS When a customer comes to you with a vibration or noise complaint, the first diagnostic step is to get as accurate a description as possible of what’s happening from your customer."

Will the wheel fall off? Will it cause too much friction, heat up and cause further damage to something else?kunilou 08-05-2006, 05:22 PMThat clicking sound will become louder and more frequent, then change to a screeching metal-on-metal sound. That is the sound of wheel bearings being chewed up. Shortly thereafter the wheel bearings will seize, the wheel itself will come off, and you'll be sliding down the highway on what's left of your suspension while other drivers are trying to dodge a bouncing wheel hurdling out of control.minlokwat 08-05-2006, 05:30 PMMy understanding is that if you let it go, one day you'll be going into a turn and -PFFFFTTTT- your wheel will either knuckle under or fold out on itself.

Fortunately, you have alternatives — natural ones. From herbs that attack inflammation to techniques that leverage the brain's remarkable healing powers, nature offers many treatments for conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and even muscle strains. Here are eight natural remedies that may enhance or replace conventional antidotes, and leave you happier, healthier, and pain free. Capsaicin: For arthritis, shingles, or neuropathy What the science says: An active component of chile pepper, capsaicin temporarily desensitizes pain-prone skin nerve receptors called C-fibers; soreness is diminished for 3 to 5 weeks while they regain sensation. Nearly 40 percent of arthritis patients reduced their pain by half after using a topical capsaicin cream for a month, and 60 percent of neuropathy patients achieved the same after 2 months, according to a University of Oxford study. Patients at the New England Center for Headache decreased their migraine and cluster headache intensity after applying capsaicin cream inside their nostrils. How to try it: Capsaicin ointments and creams are sold in pharmacies and health stores. For arthritis or neuropathy, try 0.025 percent or 0.075 percent capsaicin cream one to four times daily; best results can take up to 2 weeks, says Philip Gregory, Pharm D, a professor at Creighton University and editor of the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database."

"text": "\"Home > Shop By Department > CV Joint > Ford CV Joint Ford CV Joint See More Ford CV Joint Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive cars typically use CV joint at the end of the rear axle halfshafts. A CV joint allows a rotating shaft to transmit power through a variable angle, at constant rotational speed, without an appreciable increase in friction. In the early front wheel drive systems, where a cross-shaped metal pivot sits between two forked carriers, the CV joints employed are actually not strictly CV joints as they result in variation of transmitted speed except for certain specific configurations. While they are simple to manufacture and can be tremendously tough as well as capable of providing a flexible coupling in the propeller shafts, they can however be hard to turn during an operation at extreme angles. Hence they need regular maintenance as they are more complicated support bearings when employed in drive axles, and usable only in rigid axle designs. This is not however true with your Ford. As a distinctive vehicle brand, Ford has superior support bearings to withstand the test of various road conditions. The Ford CV joint is made superiorly strong and largely trouble-free. It is highly specified for a given application and is very reliable. Yes, there is something about being a Ford rider when it comes to transferring the torque at a constant speed to steer wheels and to accommodate up and down motions of the suspension."

Share our stuff!April 5, 2018By BD Auto Pro The wheel bearings in your car take a lot of abuse and, not surprisingly, why we get a lot of questions about wheel bearing noise and signs of bad bearings. Not only does a wheel bearing have to support the entire weight of your vehicle while it is traveling over rough roads, potholes and maybe the occasional curb, they also have to take the lateral forces of corners you take and have to do all that while allowing your wheel to spin at thousands of revolutions per minute. Unlike your engine bearings, your wheel bearings don’t have a constant supply of oil lubricating and cooling them, they have to be self-sufficient and also be sealed tight enough to keep road dust and water out of them. Bearings are used in all sorts of things we use every day so you might be interested to learn about more uses for bearings!Do I have a Bad Wheel Bearing?

A similar noise can come from worn bearings in your transmission or even a low transmission fluid level."

Furthermore, recent research has shown that pholcid venom has a relatively weak effect on insects.

The arthropods , animals that have taken over almost all of the environments of the earth, could easily be given the top spot on the success pile. One piece of supporting evidence you might run across is that there are more species of arthropods than of all of the other multicelled animals combined, but that is only true for the described species, and more hobbyists have added to that list for insects (which are arthropods) than for any other group. No one knows how many species of roundworms there are, in contrast, because only a tiny group of researchers even care. Probably the most important feature of the arthropods in their exoskeleton, a complex rigid outside covering that gives the muscles something to pull against. Unlike a simple shell such as those of mollusks, an exoskeleton has many flexible joints, allowing a wide range of movement. Skeletons in our group are the \"\"opposite\"\" kind, endoskeletons. There are advantages and disadvantages to the two skeletal systems: EXOSKELETONSENDOSKELETONSMore protective, covering the muscles and other soft tissues.

Organisms that move from place to place of their own accord and that do not manufacture their food from raw materials in their environment are classified as animals. Organisms that cannot move from place to place of their own accord (but can be moved by forces of nature or by animals) and that can manufacture their own food from raw materials in their environment, are called plants . Within the huge group called animals are many that have no backbones. These are called invertebrates. The invertebrates include mostly small animals. Some live in water and some on land. Some move around by wriggling, some walk, and some fly. One major group or phylum of invertebrates is called the Arthropoda. Biologists include insects and spiders in this group.1."

A common belief is that daddy longlegs spiders are the most venomous spiders in the world. However, that is an urban myth. Harvestmen & crane flies The term “daddy longlegs” most properly refers to an arachnid in the order Opiliones, which are also called harvestmen, according to the department of entomology, soils, and plant science at Clemson University. This outdoor arachnid typically lives under logs or rocks. Unlike spiders, it has only one pill-like body segment. It also has only two eyes, does not spin webs, and is not venomous. Wisconsin Natural Resources magazine wrote that, like the spider, it has eight very long legs that can be 30 times as long as its body. In the Southern United States as well as some parts of Canada and the United Kingdom, the crane fly is also sometimes called a daddy longlegs, according to The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture."

"text": "Daddy Long Legs Scientific Name: Pholcidae Daddy Long Legs Facts Daddy long legs are known for a common myth that they are the most venomous spider known to man but are unable to penetrate this venom into humans, as they have no teeth or physical means to do so. While the various versions of this story are interesting, they are unfortunately not true. In fact, daddy long legs are not spiders at all; they are more closely related to harvestmen. They do, however, hunt and eat other spiders, such as the brown recluse and black widows, which are particularly venomous. Webbing is a strong indication of daddy long legs in your home and may be more of a nuisance than the creature itself. The webs are large and irregular and are commonly found in many domestic dwellings. They are found in many countries in the world and like to like to live in moderate and hospitable climates. Most sightings can be controlled by removing the web and or daddy long legs when required. Daddy Long Legs Identification Daddy long legs are renowned for their disproportionately long legs that surround their body, which is much smaller than many other spiders or related arachnids. They are gray or light brown and do not usually grow more than two inches in length, even when their legs are fully extended."

Credit: Rick Vetter All spiders are predatory eight-legged creatures that have organs to spin silk at the back ends of their bodies. They are the largest part of the Arachnid family, a group that also includes scorpions and ticks. Spiders all have the ability to bite with venom-injecting fangs to kill prey and nearly all of them are poisonous (even if it's just a little). There are about 40,000 types of spiders in the world, living on every continent except Antarctica. And they're not newbies: fossilized spiders have been found in Carboniferous rocks dating back 318 million years. Spider anatomy Spiders have two body segments, the abdomen and the cephalothorax. The first, or front part, is the cephalothorax, which is formed by the fusing of the head and thorax, according to Jo-Anne Nina Sewlal, an arachnologist at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad. The cephalothorax contains the eyes, mouth and legs. The mouth has several parts."

Examples range from eastern deciduous forests and southern swamps to western conifer forests and aspen groves as high as 10,000 feet elevation. Because they're cavity nesters, House Wrens thrive around buildings, yards, farms, and other human habitations with their many nooks and crannies. Back to top Food Eats a wide variety of insects and spiders, including beetles, caterpillars, earwigs, and daddy longlegs, as well as smaller numbers of more mobile insects such as flies, leafhoppers, and springtails. Also eats snail shells, probably for the calcium they contain and to provide grit for digestion. Back to top Nesting Nest Placement House Wrens nest in old woodpecker holes, natural crevices, and nest boxes (or discarded tins, shoes, etc.) provided by humans. This bird’s association with open woodland is reflected in its choice of nest sites: it rarely uses nest sites more than 100 feet from woody vegetation, but also avoids heavily wooded nest sites where it’s hard to see predators coming. Despite their small size, they can be fierce competitors for nest sites, sometimes evicting a larger species and claiming its cavity after the bird has already begun nesting. Nest Description House Wrens pile twigs into the cavities they choose to nest in, either to make a bed on which to build a soft-lined cup, or sometimes mounded up into a barrier between nest and entrance, seemingly to protect the nest from cold weather, predators, or cowbirds."

Familiar to all of us in its adult form as the gangly insect that flits around our homes in summer, the larvae of the Daddy Longlegs are grey grubs (also known as 'leatherjackets') which live underground, feeding on plants stems and roots. This habit makes them unpopular with gardeners as they can leave bare patches of lawn, and can also become agricultural pests. The adults are on the wing during the late summer and are common in gardens and fields, often coming indoors. They rarely feed at this time, concentrating on mating and laying their eggs amongst the grass. How to identify The adult Daddy Longlegs is a brown, long-bodied insect, with translucent wings and very long legs, which easily fall off if handled.

"text": "“Daddy Long Legs” Are Not the Most Poisonous Spider September 15, 2010 Daven Hiskey 18 comments Myth: Daddy Long Legs are the most poisonous spider in the world. Daddy Long Legs are not the most poisonous spider as you’ll often hear people say. We’ll just ignore the fact that there’s a big difference between “poisonous” and “venomous”, which makes the previous sentence even more ridiculous and assume people mean “venomous” when they make that statement. We’ll also ignore the fact that one of the two arachnids commonly called “Daddy Long Legs” isn’t even a spider. “Daddy Long Legs” is the name of two distinct kinds of creatures, an arachnid and spider of the family Pholcidae and an arachnid in the family Phalangiidae, namely Opiliones (which is the one that’s not a spider). The former of which does have venom, but there is no scientific basis of the idea that it is particularly harmful to humans, and the latter of which has no venom glands or other way to chemically subdue potential food sources or things that threaten it. In the case of the pholcid spiders, which do have venom, they have very similar fang structure and size to brown-recluse spiders, who are perfectly capable of having their fangs penetrate deep enough to do serious damage to humans. However, before 2004, there were no known records of bites from the pholcid spiders to humans. This may be because, when they do bite, nothing particularly bad happens. Or, it may be because they simply aren’t very aggressive or because their muscles used with their fangs aren’t as strong as the very similarly fanged brown-recluse spider."

RELATED TOPICSDogs American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Pet Health ( Mother Nature Network) -- It's often said that the way to a dog's heart is through its stomach. That may be true, but the combination of a voracious appetite, natural curiosity and indiscriminate taste can lead to trouble for our canine companions. Plants that are poisonous to dogs can be found in our homes, our yards and in the wild, and sometimes all it takes is a little bite to lead to an emergency trip to the veterinarian. These 10 plants are among the most toxic to dogs, and you can find a full list with photos at ASPCA.org, the website of the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.1. Grapes -- The toxicity of grapes to dogs was once thought to be an urban legend, but it's true; even a small serving can cause vomiting and diarrhea, while larger amounts can lead to kidney failure. Researchers aren't yet sure what exactly causes this reaction, whether pesticides or a fungal toxin. And while keeping the grapes and raisins in your pantry away from your dog is a concern, you should be on the lookout for grapevines outside as well. As any dog owner knows, berries and fruits of all sorts are a tempting treat."

Cutting Daffodil Foliage to 6 Inches Daffodil Bulb Planting Instructions The cheerful, yellow cups of the common daffodil (Narcissus spp.) are harbingers of spring. Hardy from U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 10, daffodil bulbs can stay in place after they flower in most locations for years of bloom. Lifting and storing the bulbs may be necessary to avoid rot when the daffodils are planted in low-lying areas where summers are wet or where water-loving plants grow in the summer.1Dig the bulbs with a shovel after flowers have died back and leaves are yellow and wilted. Daffodils are usually planted 7 to 8 inches deep. Dig several inches away from the foliage clump and about 1 foot deep to avoid damaging the bulbs.2Brush off the soil and dispose of any mushy or discolored bulbs in the compost pile.3Lay the bulbs out in a single layer in a protected area and let them air-dry for about a week.4Fill the bottom of a cardboard box or a planting flat with a shallow layer of vermiculite or milled sphagnum moss.5Place the bulbs inside so they are not touching and top with more vermiculite or moss. Create additional layers in a cardboard box or in additional flats.6Store the box or stack the flats in a cool, dry area where the temperature stays below 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures above 70 F can harm the bud inside the bulb. Things You Will Need Shovel Cardboard box or plant flats Vermiculite or sphagnum moss Tip Replant the bulbs in the late fall in a sunny area with well-drained soil."

If you're a pet owner, you might not know that some of the most common plants can be harmful (and even fatal) to Fluffy or Fido. To avoid unexpected vet visits, I've compiled a list of some of the most common toxic plants for cats and dogs. I was shocked reading this list because I have many of these plants either indoors or out and have not personally encountered any problems. But in the interest of safety, I wanted to share the information with you so you can take your own pet's habits into consideration and judge for yourself. The following plants are toxic to both cats and dogs (unless otherwise noted) along with clinical signs of poisoning:• Aloe Vera: Vomiting, depression, diarrhea, anorexia, tremors, change in urine color. • Asian Lily: Vomiting, inappetence, lethargy, kidney failure, and death is possible. Cats are only species known to be affected (toxic to cats only). • Asparagus Fern: allergic dermatitis with repeated dermal exposure. Berry ingestion could result in gastric upset (vomiting, abdominal pain, or diarrhea.) •"

"text": "Garden Plants Poisonous to Dogs and Cats Posted July 1, 2012It’s natural to want to share your gardening fun with your pets. Unfortunately, there are a lot of common garden plants that are poisonous to cats and dogs. If you have any of the following plants, vegetables or herbs growing in your garden, keep an eye on your pets when they’re out there with you, especially if they’re young—puppies and kittens (just like babies) love to put things in their mouths that they shouldn’t!Common Garden Plants That Are Poisonous to Cats and Dogs Tomato Plants The most common garden plant that is poisonous to cats and dogs is the tomato plant ( Lycopersicon spp). Grown in practically every vegetable garden around, tomato plants are surprisingly toxic and can cause a shockingly long list of pet health issues (like severe gastrointestinal upset, weakness, slow heart rate and diarrhea). Signs of ingestion include hypersalivation, loss of appetite, confusion, behavioral changes and dilated pupils. And, although ripe tomatoes are rarely toxic to pets, plant material is. Note that just because tomato plants are toxic to pets doesn’t mean you can’t grow them, however, especially since tomatoes are one of the garden vegetables you can grow vertically (okay, fine, fruit!). Rhubarb Another common garden plant that is toxic to pets is rhubarb ( Rheum rhaponticum). Rhubarb is so toxic to cats and dogs, in fact, that it can cause kidney failure, tremors and coma (although rarely death) if consumed in adequate amounts. Luckily, growing rhubarb doesn’t need to be on your naughty list: Although the leaves are toxic (as well as bitter and unappetizing), the stalks are safe."

Just fill the dish with the gravel and place the bulbs on top. Make sure that the level of the water is below the base of the bulbs so that they do not rot. Once the bowl is packed with bulbs, place it in a cool dark position until the tips begin to actively grow. Now is the best time to buy and plant your spring flowering bulbs. Daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and freesias are only a few of the large range available. You can get bulbs from nurseries, mail order, bulb societies and specialist growers. Most bulbs are dug up, packaged and sold when they are dormant. They are usually graded and sorted, checked by hand, counted and packaged.

"text": "Top ten tips for growing daffodils Daffodils are a quintessential spring flower, a sign that longer days and warmer weather are on their way! Here are our top ten tips for growing daffodils - from where to plant them, to how to keep them flowering year after year.1. Choose the right variety There are a huge variety of daffodils, from miniature daffodils such as 'Tete-a-Tete' to the traditional large varieties such as 'Golden King Alfred'. Miniature daffodils are ideal for rockeries, border edging, window boxes and spring containers. Larger varieties are excellent for creating swathes of colour in borders and containers, or they can be naturalised in grass. Try visiting your local gardens in March and April for inspiration on how to grow daffodils in your garden.2. Try fragrant daffodils Daffodils brighten up your garden in the spring but they can also be very fragrant. Some daffodils such as Poet's Daffodil are heavily scented and even a few stems will quickly fill a room with delicious fragrance. Other good varieties for fragrance include 'Yellow Cheerfulness', 'Avalanche', 'Minnow' and 'White Lion'.3. Plant in the right place As with most plants, giving your daffodils a good start at planting time will give you the best display."

Starting on April 16 th through April 24 th, there will be “daffy” events including bike tours, garden parties, art activities, doggy parade, gorgeous home tours, and more. Even though most of the activities are free, you can purchase a daffy pin to have discounts in the activities and shops throughout Newport. Cliff Walk at Salve Regina Opening day will have a ribbon ceremony with games, live music, and a daffy conga line at Bannisters and Bowens Wharves. Meanwhile families can “doodle the daffodils” on a take-home canvas for free at the famous Cliff Walk. If drawling is not your expertise, there will be a photography workshop at the Cliff Walk within the following day. It will have a significant location at the O’Hare Patio, Salve Regina University. The Newport Photographers’ Guild experts will guide the audience how to take the perfect “Daffodillion” photo, so you can enter the online contest. Within the same day, dog owners can dress their dogs in the daffiest attire for the Daffy Doggies Parade."

Most wild flowers are beautiful, fragrant and colorful. Wild Flowers can be grown in gardens and just about anywhere else. Wildflowers are those that grow spontaneously under respective conducive conditions, even without being deliberately grown. Perhaps due to their immense appeal for flower lovers, seeds of Wild Flower meadows - a few mixed Wild Flower species - are sold commercially. The term ‹Wild Flower‹ has been made vague by commercial seedsmen who are interested in selling more wild flowers or wild flower seeds more expensively than when labeled with only its name and/or origin. The term implies that the plant probably is neither a hybrid nor a selected cultivar (a cultivated selection of a plant species that is vegetatively propagated) that is in any way different from the way it appears in the wild as a native plant, even if it is growing where it would not naturally. The sheer range of color, tone and shapes in Wild Flowers is breathtaking."

Daffodil flowers have a trumpet-shaped structure set against a star-shaped background. Often the trumpet is in a contrasting color from the background.

The Poet: William \"\"The Interminable\"\" Wordsworth (1770-1850)William Wordsworth was one of the greatest poets of the ages, who excelled in vivid descriptions of nature and the joy that could be derived from the beauties of nature. For much of his life he lived in the Lake District, near Grasmere Lake in \"\"Dove Cottage\"\". He enjoyed a happy childhood under the loving care of his mother and was very close to his sister Dorothy. As a child he wandered happily through the lovely natural scenery of Cumberland. William was definitely the wild one of the family, and his sister Dorothy 3, a year younger than him, was usually his only ally in the family. William Wordsworth. Part 2The Poem Setting and Background Information....... The poem recaptures a moment on April 15, 1802, when Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy, were walking near a lake at Grasmere, Cumbria County, England, and came upon a shore lined with daffodils. Grasmere is in northwestern England's Lake District, between Morecambe Bay on the south and Solway Firth on the north.

Luckily, animals treated in time can survive encounters with poisonous plants. The catch is in the phrase \"\"treated in time\"\" -- which demands vigilance of owners and, in many cases, a trip to the veterinarian. Being proactive is a simple way to keep your pets safe. Learn what's toxic to cats and dogs and remove those plants from your home or from pets' reach."

"text": "Dairy farming has been part of agriculture for thousands of years. Dairy cows are bred specifically to produce large quantities of milk. Dairy cows are required to give birth to one calf annually in order to produce milk for 10 months of the year. They are usually artificially inseminated within three months of giving birth. Dairy cows can often only produce very high milk yields for an average of 3 years, after which they are slaughtered and the meat is normally used for beef. Global milk production There are over 270 million cows producing milk across the world. The European Union is the largest milk producer and has about 23 million dairy cows. This compares with 10 million in North America and over 6 million in Australia and New Zealand. Milk production is also on the increase in South-East Asia, including countries not traditionally noted for their milk consumption, such as China, which now has over 12 million cows producing milk. Intensive dairy farming results in an increasing number of welfare problems for dairy cows."

"text": "Humanities ›Issues Factory Farmed Animals and Antibiotics, Hormones, r BGHShare Flipboard Email Printnaphtalina / Getty Imagesby Doris Lin Updated March 08, 2017Many people are surprised to hear that farmed animals are routinely given antibiotics and growth hormones. Concerns include animal welfare as well as human health. Factory farms cannot afford to care about animals collectively or individually. The animals are merely a product, and antibiotics and growth hormones such as r GBH are employed to make the operation more profitable. Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (r BGH)The faster an animal gets to slaughter weight or the more milk an animal produces, the more profitable the operation. Approximately two-thirds of all beef cattle in the US are given growth hormones, and approximately 22 percent of dairy cows are given hormones to increase milk production. The European Union has banned the use of hormones in beef cattle and has conducted a study that showed that hormone residues remain in the meat. Because of health concerns for both people and animals, Japan, Canada, Australia and the European Union have all banned the use of r BGH, but the hormone is still given to cows in the US. The EU has also banned the import of meat from animals treated with hormones, so the EU imports no beef from the US. Recombinant bovine growth hormone (r BGH) causes cows to produce more milk, but its safety for both people and cows is questionable."

The female calves are raised to replace older dairy cows in the milking herd. After three or four years of intense and stressful milk production, the females are sent to slaughter. The male calves also have a horrific fate. Since they will never produce milk, male dairy calves are of little or no value to the dairy farmer and are sent to veal farms. The veal industry is a byproduct of the dairy industry; by supporting one industry, you are inevitably supporting the other. On the Farm There are over 9 million dairy cows in the U. S. Thanks to genetic manipulation and intensive production technologies, each cow produces up to 100 pounds of milk per day – ten times more than they would produce naturally. To continue producing milk, they are forced to have a calf every year; like humans, cows have a nine-month gestation period, and so giving birth every twelve months is physically demanding. Cows are artificially re-impregnated while they are still lactating from their previous birthing, so their bodies are still producing milk during seven months of their nine-month pregnancy. As a result, the cows’ bodies are under constant stress, for nothing more than humans’ desire for dairy."

Here’s a List of Health Benefitsby Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFMLast Updated on March 7, 2018While cow’s milk remains one of America’s most common daily drinks, it is interesting to note that it may also be the reason why many Americans experience gas, bloating, and other forms of indigestion. When you consider the average cow is given growth hormones, antibiotics, GMO feed, vaccinations, and exposed to toxic conditions, it is no wonder that many humans experience negative health effects from consuming pasteurized milk from cows or beef. Goat’s milk is a much healthier alternative, especially when it is raw and organic. Goats produce about 2% of the global milk supply; people who consume goat’s milk cite a lower incidence of allergies and digestive complaints. The Benefits of Goat’s Milk Goat’s milk supports good health in many ways. It is also void of the negative characteristics of cow’s milk.

Casey for The New York Times MONROE, Wash. — For demanding consumers, some dairy producers are demanding less milk from their cows — and charging more for it. The dairy companies are bowing to the natural-foods trend by shunning milk from cows treated with genetically engineered growth hormone. By labeling milk free of the artificial hormone, the dairy industry can ride the popularity of natural foods, without the greater expense and special feeds required to produce milk that can be fully certified as “organic. ”As a result hormone-free milk can be priced higher than conventionally labeled milk, but less than organic. At a Safeway near central Seattle, for example, a half gallon of conventional Lucerne-brand whole milk was recently selling for $1.69, while the Horizon organic brand was priced at $3.69. Priced neatly in between, at $2.79, was the Darigold milk labeled as “coming from cows not treated with the growth hormone r BST*”The asterisk referred to tiny letters near the bottom of the carton indicating that the Food and Drug Administration says there is no difference between milk from treated and untreated cows. Some milk producers have long avoided the hormone r BST, which is made by Monsanto and was approved by the F. D. A. in 1993."

The main reason I recommeded this initially was because they contain isoflavones or phytoestrogens which essentially mimic our estrogen levels. Over time, this causes an excess of estrogen in the body and our symptoms with endometriosis become much worse, rather than better. That was my basic understanding of soy and I have been avoiding it ever since. Today however, I received an article from a website I subscribe to from Dr. Mercola. You should seriously subscribe because it has some awesome information about our health!What I read in there about soy totally scared me!It basically states that we have endometriosis because of soy products and that soy products are not just in milk but in many foods that we currently might be consuming, especially if we are replacing our diet with vegetarian options!The problem starts with how the soy is produced.

As long as we take the milk, the cow will continue to produce more. Over time she produces less and less until she is practically dry. This could take anywhere from 9 months to over a year, depending on the cow. The hormone sometimes used in dairy cattle is called recombinant bovine somatotropin. This is a protein hormone, naturally produced by the cow soon after calving, when milk production is highest. It is given through injection, every 2 weeks during the middle third of the lactation. It is in no way related to estrogen or any other steroid or \"\"sex\"\" hormone."

"text": "Bovine Somatotropin (BST)Share Tweet Linkedin Pin it Email Print Bovine somatotropin (b ST), also known as bovine growth hormone, is an animal drug approved by FDA to increase milk production in dairy cows. This drug is based on the somatrotropin naturally produced in cattle. Somatotropin is a protein hormone produced in the pituitary gland of animals, including humans, and is essential for normal growth, development, and health maintenance. Early research in the 1930s and 1940s in Russia and England found that milk production in cows could be increased by injecting cattle pituitary extracts, specifically b ST. English scientists attempted to increase milk production in cows during World War II with pituitary-derived b ST to alleviate food shortages. However, it wasn’t until the 1980s that it became technically possible and economically feasible to produce large commercial quantities of b ST by a process using biotechnology. The b ST derived by this process is typically called “recombinant” b ST or “rb ST”. This process is also advantageous for producing a more consistent and purified source of b ST. The FDA approves an animal drug only after information and/or studies have shown that the food (in this case, milk and meat) from the treated animals is safe for people to eat, and that the drug does not harm treated animals, or the environment. The drug also must be effective, meaning that it works as intended."

Whether it’s allergies, a vegan diet, or another health concern, many people decide to stop eating dairy—from the cow’s milk that soaks a bowl of cereal to the butter that coats a piece of toast. Allergies and intolerances are major reasons for going dairy free, especially considering the Food Allergy Initiative’s statistic that cow’s milk allergy is the No. 1 food allergy in infants and children. Nevertheless, there are other issues that play into a client’s decision to go dairy free. This article will discuss these issues and provide a wide variety of the most healthful nondairy foods clients can eat to get the nutrients they require. Going Dairy Free “Some people forgo dairy because they’ve read that a dairy-free diet may help alleviate certain problems, including digestive distress, an inability to lose weight, acne, and irritable bowel syndrome,” says Rania Batayneh, MPH, owner of Essential Nutrition For You. Others may choose to eliminate dairy from their diet due to a vegan lifestyle."

If you're looking for a milk alternative, you'll find \"\"milks\"\" made from soybeans, brown rice, almonds, coconuts, even almond-coconut blends. You can choose unsweetened, plain or flavoured with vanilla, chocolate or strawberry. All non-dairy milks are good choices for people who can't digest lactose, the natural sugar in cow's milk, because they are lactose-free.

Governments everywhere like to jam the message down your throat that if you don’t drink your two square glasses per day for your calcium, your teeth and bones will fall apart. But then I learned about how awful milk and dairy products really are (this includes cheese, sour cream, ice cream etc). They are allergenic, difficult to digest, full of hormones that mess with our own, chock full of pus, antibiotic residue, and sometimes feces. I also learned about how dairy products are the number one food that causes acne. Unfortunately, I used to paint all dairy with the same bad brush. It’s not dairy products themselves that are bad – it’s only the processing of dairy products that is bad! Real, whole, untampered milk products from a healthy animal are actually very nourishing, easy to digest, and good for you!It’s sort of the same thing about how people go around painting all meat in the same light, saying it’s bad, horrible, and you must quit for the sake of your health. Personally I feel it’s not meat at its core that is bad for you, it’s just the processing of meat and how most meat is from poorly raised animals. It’s the same thing with dairy."

"text": "Is Soy Milk Considered a Dairy Product?by Ryan Mc Caffery | Last updated April 1, 2018 | Leave a Comment Some soy milk brands contain dairy products to improve taste and consistancy. Soy milk is blended to mimic the taste and consistency of cows milk. And there’s good reason for this. People are already comfortable with and enjoy the taste of regular milk. This makes the taste of soy milk more acceptable to consumers, and has helped fuel its dramatic rise in popularity. But is soy milk truly a dairy product? Or does it just taste and sound like one? Definition of dairy The dictionary defines dairy as “foods that are made from milk, such as cream, butter, and cheese.” As in: a dairy-free diet and I was advised not to eat too much dairy.

Symptoms Diagnosis Treatments Back To Top Dairy products can lead to abdominal pain and discomfort in some people. For those with severe lactose intolerance, avoiding dairy might be a necessity. Image © Fotosearch / Getty Images Lactose intolerance is caused by the body's inability to digest milk sugar, or lactose. In order to break lactose down into simple sugars, or monosaccharides, the body must produce the enzyme called \"\"lactase,\"\" which is produced in the small intestine. Without lactase, the lactose from milk products is unable to be digested. This causes the symptoms of gas, cramps and diarrhea that many people experience after eating or drinking dairy products. Lactose intolerance is a condition that normally develops over time. After a person reaches about 2 years of age, the body begins to produce less of the enzyme lactase."

"text": "Milk or Dairy Allergy Dairy allergy is one of the most common food allergies in the United States. A dairy allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly interprets the proteins in a dairy product as a harmful substance. When a person with this allergy comes in contact (touching, breathing or eating) with dairy, the body produces antibodies to fight the harmful substance, and this triggers an allergic reaction. The most common reactions include rash (atopic dermatitis), redness and swelling around the mouth, hives (urticaria), asthma, stomachache, cramping, diarrhea or vomiting, asthma, and in extreme cases anaphylaxis. Reactions can occur within minutes or several hours after consuming the allergen. Many people confuse dairy allergy with lactose intolerance, which is an inability to digest the sugar lactose. A person with dairy or lactose intolerance may have an adverse reaction (gas, bloating, cramps and diarrhea) when consuming a food containing dairy, but this reaction does not involve the immune system. Most children grow out of dairy allergy by age five or six, although some people remain allergic for their entire lives. It is also possible to develop a dairy allergy later in life. If you suspect you have a dairy allergy, avoid all foods that contain dairy, and please see a board certified allergist or immunologist as soon as possible."

Much of the fat in milk and dairy foods is saturated fat. For older children and adults, eating too much fat can contribute to excess energy intakes, leading to becoming overweight. A diet high in saturated fat can also lead to raised levels of cholesterol in the blood, and this can put you at increased risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Many individuals have NOT been tested for lactose intolerance or are unsure if lactose is a trigger for them, in this case, minimize lactose while undergoing the elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet.

Go ahead and enjoy yummy low lactose dairy foods such as aged or hard cheeses, think: Cheddar, Swiss, and Parmesan! Most semi-soft cheeses are suitable on the low FODMAP diet too, such as feta, goat cheese and Brie. Avoid overly wet cheeses such as ricotta and cottage cheese which contain higher amounts of lactose. Try lactose free cow’s milk or lactose free yogurt. Even small amount of Greek yogurt can often be tolerated on the low FODMAP diet.

I asked several times if it could be a food intolerance, in particular cows milk, as he did seem slightly better when I gave him soya milk instead of cows milk. The doctors always said no, as dairy intolerance would cause diarrhoea, not constipation. After a particularly bad episode of constipation I decided to cut out dairy completely from his diet.

These findings throw serious doubt on glyphosate’s safety Previous research has shown that Roundup is toxic to human DNA even when diluted to concentrations 450-fold lower than used in agricultural applications“Inactive” ingredients such as solvents, preservatives, and surfactants contribute to toxicity in a synergistic manner, and ethoxylated adjuvants in glyphosate-based herbicides have been found to be “active principles of human cell toxicity”Cell damage and even cell death can occur at the residual levels found on Roundup-treated food crops, as well as lawns and gardens where Roundup is applied for weed control Liver, embryonic and placental cell lines are adversely affected by glyphosate at doses as low as 1 ppm. GM corn can contain as much as 13 ppm of glyphosate, and Americans eat an average of 193 lbs of GM foods annually By Dr. Mercola The true toxicity of glyphosate—the active ingredient in Monsanto’s broad-spectrum herbicide Roundup—is becoming increasingly clear as study after study is published demonstrating its devastating effects. In June, groundbreaking research was published detailing a newfound mechanism of harm for Roundup. This was immediately followed by tests showing that people in 18 countries across Europe have glyphosate in their bodies, 1 while yet another study revealed that the chemical has estrogenic properties and drives breast cancer proliferation in the parts-per- trillion range. 2This finding might help explain why rats fed Monsanto’s maize developed massive breast tumors in the first-ever lifetime feeding study published last year. Other recently published studies demonstrate glyphosate’s toxicity to cell lines, aquatic life, food animals, and humans. Glyphosate Toxicity Underestimated, Study Concludes One such study, published in the journal Ecotoxicology, 3 found that glyphosate is toxic to water fleas (Daphnia magna) at minuscule levels that are well within the levels expected to be found in the environment. According to regulators, glyphosate is thought to be practically nontoxic to aquatic invertebrates. The water flea is a widely accepted model for environmental toxicity, so this study throws serious doubt on glyphosate’s classification as environmentally safe."

Register This article first appeared in the publication \"\"Underwater Naturalist\"\" Bulletin of the American Littoral Society, Volume 25, Number 2, August 2000Cigarette butts are the most common form of plastic litter on the beaches of the U. S. and world-wide. Toxic chemicals can leach out of the cigarette filters. Photo copyrighted by Chris Register. Introduction Every beach-goer has seen them—cigarette butts littering the shore. Beyond being unsightly, does cigarette litter present a threat to organisms? This article summarizes research conducted to determine if the compounds in discarded cigarette butts (the filters and remnant tobacco) are biohazards to the water flea ( Daphnia magna ). Short-term bioassays (48 hours) using the water flea as the test organism were conducted. The results indicate that the chemicals released into freshwater environments from cigarette butts are lethal to Daphnia at concentrations of 0.125 cigarette butts per liter (one butt per two gallons of water). Smokers discard billions of cigarette butts yearly, tossing many directly into the environment. Cigarette butts accumulate outside of buildings, on parking lots and streets where they can be transported through storm drains to streams, rivers, and beaches."

Geological Survey, Alaska Science Center, Anchorage, Alaska, USAb Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, Minnesota, USAc USDA Agricultural Research Service, Marshfield, Wisconsin, USANext Section ABSTRACTThe principal mode of avian influenza A virus (AIV) transmission among wild birds is thought to occur via an indirect fecal-oral route, whereby individuals are exposed to virus from the environment through contact with virus-contaminated water. AIV can remain viable for an extended time in water; however, little is known regarding the influence of the biotic community (i.e., aquatic invertebrates) on virus persistence and infectivity in aquatic environments. We conducted laboratory experiments to investigate the ability of an aquatic filter-feeding invertebrate, Daphnia magna, to accumulate virus from AIV-dosed water under the hypothesis that they represent a potential vector of AIV to waterfowl hosts. We placed live daphnids in test tubes dosed with low-pathogenicity AIV (H3N8 subtype isolated from a wild duck) and sampled Daphnia tissue and the surrounding water using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-q PCR) at 3- to 120-min intervals for up to 960 min following dosing. Concentrations of viral RNA averaged 3 times higher in Daphnia tissue than the surrounding water shortly after viral exposure, but concentrations decreased exponentially through time for both. Extracts from Daphnia tissue were negative for AIV by cell culture, whereas AIV remained viable in water without Daphnia present. Our results suggest daphnids can accumulate AIV RNA and effectively remove virus particles from water. Although concentrations of viral RNA were consistently higher in Daphnia tissue than the water, additional research is needed on the time scale of AIV inactivation after Daphnia ingestion to fully elucidate Daphnia 's role as a potential vector of AIV infection to aquatic birds.

"text": "\"Zooplankton Fact Sheet Zooplankton are microscopic invertebrate animals that swim or drift in water. They are at the base of the food chain, feeding on microscopic plants and being fed upon by aquatic insects, fish and salamanders. Their sizes usually range from one-tenth of a millimeter to four millimeters, which is smaller than the head of a pin. HABITAT At the Savannah River Site, zooplankton are found in freshwater reservoirs, ponds and streams. They are abundant in Carolina bays, wetlands that often dry in the summer and fill with water in the fall. Because the animals are wholly aquatic but often live in habitats that dry temporarily, they are faced with problems related to the unpredictability of their watery existence. Different types of zooplankton respond to these challenges in various ways. Adult females may lay different types of eggs, depending on the season and whether the pond is likely to dry soon. Some eggs are resistant and do not hatch until the pond fills. Some emerge within 24 hours of the pond filling; others may take days or weeks to emerge."

While I too admire a rare specimen, I have always been and will always be impressed by such common things as “button polyps,” the many-hued and mostly simple to care for zoanthids. Zoanthids form clusters of polyps and encrusting mats commonly referred to as \"\"sea mat,\"\" \"\"false coral,\"\" or \"\"colonial anemones,\"\" and they are sometimes erroneously called \"\"soft corals.\"\" The polyps can be solitary, connected by a creeping tissue called coenenchyme that may form stolons or lamellae, or they may be embedded in a thick massive coenenchyme. They are normally attached to any hard substrate, though some genera are associated with specific \"\"host\"\" organisms and grow only on them. Zoanthids are relatives of corals and anemones, and are included with them in the phylum Cnidaria (formerly Coelenterata), in the class Anthozoa, but the zoanthids comprise the distinct order Zoanthiniaria (formerly Zoanthidea) in the subclass Zoantharia that also includes sea anemones, corallimorphs, and scleractinian corals. Zoanthids differ from true sea anemones, which belong to the subclass Actiniaria, based on details of their internal anatomy and the fact that zoanthids form true colonies in which the individual polyps are connected by a common tissue, the coenenchyme. True anemones may divide to form beds of adjacent clones, but they are not connected. Zoanthids lack a fossil record, but they are considered more closely related to the extinct \"\"corals\"\" known as Tabulata and Rugosa than to other anthozoans."

In this experiment, I am going to determine the effect of different concentration of caffeine on the heart rate of Daphnia. Daphnia is assumed as the substitute of human being in this experiment to investigate the effect of chemicals on the heart beat of living organisms. Heart beat is the frequency of heart contraction in one complete cardiac cycle. The average heart rate of human is 72 beats per minute. [ 1] However, some changes that occur in the body system such as stress, an increase in body temperature or consumption of some chemicals may alter the heart rate. The consumption of caffeine is believed to increase the heart rate as well, and thus this experiment is carried out to test its validity. Caffeine, 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine with its molecular formula of C8H10N4O2 occurs naturally as a white crystalline powder that tastes very bitter."

In fact, it is the most common water flea and can be found in almost every permanent, nutrient-rich fresh body of water surrounded by numerous other freshwater organisms and plants. The highest concentrations of Daphnia are found in the vegetation of most lakes and ponds. Although the Daphnia genus can be found in basically any freshwater body of water, D. pulex specifically resides to temporary and permanent ponds, small lakes, and even rock pools. The organism occupies deeper water during the day, rising at night. T his is an example of a rockpool in Finland, one of the many habitats of Daphnia pulex. Daphnia pulex is too small and weak to live in a body of water with strong current. They have to be able to stay suspended by using their legs and antennae so they usually live in a water column. They will often move up and down this column at certain times of the day due to predators or during certain seasons to adapt to the different conditions.

But one thing has to be clear: it is not the same when it comes to controlling algae in planted and non-planted tanks!In a non-planted aquarium , nitrate and phosphate levels can easily go high, and result in an algae outbreak. Overfeeding and overstocking is the most common reason for water quality going bad like that. Weekly water changes are the best solution in reducing these nutrients. The ammonia (NH3), ammonium (NH4) and nitrite (NO2) levels should be at 0 ppm. Nitrate (NO3) levels should ideally be kept below 10 ppm (nitrate levels over 40 ppm can be dangerous for some fish and invertebrates). Phosphate (PO4) levels should be kept below 0.5 ppm. Lights should be on no more then 10 hours per day. Note that most algae favours strong lights, so placing the aquarium away from the window is a good idea. Direct sunlight will almost certainly cause an algae outbreak."

"text": "Muscle Car Definition Introduction: Perhaps the most common question people have is what exactly is a muscle car. The term wasn’t even used until the late 1970s, in the 1960s there were often called “Super Cars” if called anything at all. Therefore, the actual definition of a muscle car, or which models were muscle cars, is a topic that is often disputed. Here is the general interpretation of what is a muscle car and what cars qualify, and which don’t. Vehicle Muscle Car? Classification Notes AMC AMX Yes Pony Car Even though it only has two seats, because it is based on the Javalin, it is a muscle car AMC Javelin No Pony Car Only the AMX variation or big block V8s are considered muscle cars Buick GS Yes Intermediate Muscle Car Based on Buick Skylark Buick Riviera No Personal Luxury Car Too expensive and big Buick Skylark (non-GS) No Intermediate Car Only GS versions are considered muscle cars Buick Wildcat No Fullsize Car Too large Chevrolet Camaro Yes Pony car Only SS and Z28 models are considered muscle cars Chevrolet Chevelle SS Yes Intermediate Muscle Car Only SS versions are considered muscle cars Chevrolet Chevelle (non-SS) No Intermediate Only SS versions are considered muscle cars Chevrolet Corvette No Sports Car The two seats, fiberglass body, and high price make it a sports car.

Most of these models were based on “regular” production vehicles. These vehicles are generally not considered muscle cars, even when equipped with large V8s. If there was a high performance version available, it gets the credit, and not the vehicle that it was based on."

"text": "What is a sport? Posted on April 14, 2011 by Justin Sports are an incredibly important contributor to human nature in our pussified society. The lack of responsibility and risk taking swells to the point where people avoid any kind of competitive activity because of the inherent risk of failure. Participating in sport at any level will replace the necessary competitive edge in an individual and kindle the fire of dedication, hard work, and almost reckless intensity; the stuff of 70’s Big. But what is a sport? We have the Shrug Thug to inform us about the activities that aren’t a sport (geared lifting, calculus, or fixing a pair of glasses), but what qualifies something to sport status? I always consider sport to encompass the following: – Individuals or groups participating in a sanctioned competition that has a standard set of rules for achieving victory. – The competitors (who are human) exhibit physicality The highlight of the first portion of the definition is “sanction”. Regarding the competitive events, this implies that the type of event, how it is officiated, and how victory can be attained are all inherently known before hand. American football has a rigid set of rules and is played indoors our outdoors, yet it’s known where the game will be played and to what standards the players must perform."

Individual condominiums offer sweeping views of the resort grounds and Seven Mile Beach, and those facing the North Sound will have views equally as compelling as those that overlook the beach and Caribbean Sea.

The diverse array of options provides buyers the possibility of acquiring a home on Seven Mile Beach for under $1 million or getting the penthouse of their dreams nearer to the $8 million price point. \"\" With stunning and sophisticated design, its prime Seven Mile Beach location and thoughtful consideration of every aspect of the guest and residential experience, The Residences at Seafire introduce a modern Caribbean aesthetic to luxury living, where interior spaces unfold dramatically to abundant gardens and resort amenities infused with the spirit of Kimpton's Caribbean debut hotel,\"\" Doak said. \"\""

"text": "\"Home > Sports > Definition What Is A Sport? We have a huge list of sports which includes some that you may not consider a sport. In order to justify what makes the list, we have to base the inclusion on a clear definition of what makes a sport. Definition According to GAISFThe Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF) (previously Sport Accord) is the umbrella organization for all international sports federations, and has developed a definition of sport to determine whether an applicant federation qualifies as an international sports federation. The GAISF's definition of sport is as follows: The sport proposed should include an element of competition. The sport should not rely on any element of \"\"luck\"\" specifically integrated into the sport. The sport should not be judged to pose an undue risk to the health and safety of its athletes or participants. The sport proposed should in no way be harmful to any living creature. The sport should not rely on equipment that is provided by a single supplier. The Encyclopedia of World Sport When collating all the world sports for the publication 'Encyclopedia of World Sport - from ancient times to the present' (Oxford University Press, 1999), the editors based their inclusion criteria on the following definition: An activity can be considered a sport if it involves ...competition between two or more individuals or teams;rules of play that allow a winner to be determined;a primary goal of victory;victory determined by the relative physical ability of the competitors, although strategy and chance may also play a role."

I would strongly recommend that you hang it on a backboard, or any other type of backing, to help protect your walls. Four holes in the wall is better than hundreds of little holes. The line, or hockey, should be 7ft 9.25in (2.37 meters) from the face of the board measured horizontally (if you want to measure it from the bullseye down to the floor, it is 9ft 7 3/8in). The only thing you need to do to the dartboard after it is hung, is to rotate it. This will only work if your dartboard has the removable metal ring with the numbers on it. If the numbers are painted on the board, you will not be able to rotate it. Rotating the board will make it last longer. There has been a rumour going around for years that you should spray water on your board. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT spray any types of liquids on a bristle board."

Dates are rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants and the essential minerals potassium and magnesium. A diet that regularly includes low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like dates may enhance your health and help decrease your chance of developing many chronic diseases. Available both fresh and dried, dates can be substituted for raisins in baked goods, combined with nuts and rolled oats in granola or used as a sweet counterpoint in chicken- or lamb-based stews. Deglet noor dates are the most commonly consumed variety in the United States, but other types like Medjool and Khala dates are equally nutritious. Dietary Fiber A 1/4-cup serving of dried or fresh dates contains 3 grams of dietary fiber. This amount supplies 14 percent of the U. S. Department of Agriculture's recommended daily allowance of fiber for adult men and women following a 2,000-calorie diet. According to Dr. John Briffa, the bulk of a date's fiber is the soluble fiber pectin."

May 20, 2016Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are plants, animals or microorganisms that have had their genetic material altered in a way that doesn't occur naturally. The purpose of genetically altering, also called genetically engineering, plants is to improve their durability, such as through drought tolerance or disease resistance, or their nutritional value. These changes are aimed at increasing yield and lowering costs. Farmers have long sought to breed better plants. Traditionally this has involved repeatedly cross-pollinating plants to create an offspring with the desired combination of traits. This process introduces a number of genes into the plant, including some that may have unwanted traits. Genetic engineering isolates the gene for the desired trait, adds it to a single plant cell in a lab, and generates a new plant from that cell."

So, definitely they are not unhealthy though they might be compromised slightly on nutrition. Frozen rotis are not good so its better to avoid them. Freshly baked rotis are advisable if you are able to get your hands on them. Rice is ok only if you are draining the excessive starchy water after cooking. Eating out at Subway on regular basis is also not healthy. I would suggest once in a week trip to Subway and Indian Restaurant and rest of the five days eating at home.7.6k Views · View Upvoters · Answer requested by Ashish Kumar Related Questions More Answers Below Which is best ready to eat product in India?"

Probably not. Most people don’t think about dates very much and particularly about the health benefits. But dates are pretty amazing and this little fruit can provide some excellent health benefits. If you start eating three dates a day, here is what you will start to see. The Nutrient-Rich Date The first thing you’ll notice is that dates have some great nutritional benefits. You don’t need to take all those vitamins when you are eating three dates a day. They contain copper, potassium, fiber, manganese, vitamin B-6 and magnesium.

Meaning as dangerous as eating any food that is healthy for you as long as it comes from a safe source, isn't introduced to dangerous bacteria or pathogens, etc. As noted elsewhere, salmonella is a danger, with eggs being about 14% of the million cases noted each year. So, while you're more likely to get salmonella from another source, the potential is there. What's really interesting is the different paths the US and EU take to egg safety. In the US, the eggs must go through a special bath, then refrigerated, while in the EU, they must not be bathed and do not sit in the stores' refrigerator section. Why American Eggs Would Be Illegal In A British Supermarket, And Vice Versa If you whip them into a smoothie, they help make it much more creamy. You also get all of the good protein and fat."

The sexy nurse in a short skirt seems to be an icon in popular culture. I really have no idea where that image came from, though. Over the past two years, I visited my mother in the hospital many times. I noticed that the majority of nurses, maybe 80% or so, were quite overweight; not just chunky, but obese. Nurses are on their feet all day, lifting and moving people, walking from room to room and corridor to corridor, and likely burning far more calories than most of us in a typical workday. Why then, are so many grossly overweight? Reply With Quote# 2 04-16-2009, 03:36 PMWashoe Guest Join Date: Aug 2004Location: Simi Valley, CAPosts: 3,377I’ve always perceived that jobs which involve working with people who are somehow disenfranchised, marginalized, or incapacitated are often very attractive to people who have psychological problems involving interpersonal relationships with the opposite sex. This seems to be true across a broad spectrum of professions including medicine, law enforcement and corrections work, and special education, among others. It seems reasonable to me that this could be strongly correlated with a tendency to overeat, the overeating being either a compensatory mechanism or a result of simple apathy concerning one’s appearance."

There are capsules available where the aromatic properties of garlic are already converted, thereby eliminating the sulfur-excretion through pores and still retaining their therapeutic values. But sulfur has a cardiotonic effect that's been well-documented via all of the Alliums: Onions, Leeks, Shallots, etc. Garlic can be aggravating to the stomach/intestinal lining, but when prepared in food, this is rarely a problem. The agitation in the stomach maybe attributed to the inability for the lower-sphincter to relax and let the food pass into chyme, which is hardly the fault of the allium-consumed. It thins the blood, though, so if other medications are involved for the same purpose, keep this compound in mind when dosing. My books all contend that there isn't a limit to food-based therapies, especially in the case of Garlic."

"text": "Top 3 Foods to Eat in Ramadan: Suhoorby sairah in Health · Lifestyle — 8 Jul, 2013www.hdwallpapers.in The Muslim month of Ramadan is finally here and the preparations have been made. Most people would probably think that with a solid 18 hours without food or water, Muslims everywhere must just be dropping mad weight. Not so, my friends. While the idea is to humble yourself and understand your fellow man who might come from more modest means, the reality is that in most predominantly Muslim countries, Ramadan tends to resemble a 30-day festival with inconvenient dry periods. Fatty, deep-fried foods fare heavily on the fast-breaking menu—and sometimes, the same could be said about the morning meal. For those not of the faith, here’s a quick background: The Islamic practice of fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the five essential pillars of the religion. Believers rise about an hour or two before sunrise in order to prepare and eat the morning meal. The term varies by language, but in Arabic, this meal is known as suhoor. When dawn breaks, all eating, drinking (and sex!) is brought to a close."

From date silan to date puree, dates in any form can be a stabilizing factor in blood sugar.162by Robin Shreeves | Monday, November 10, 2014Attention, diabetics: It's time to add dates to your shopping list. These sweet, bite-sized, wrinkly fruits are classified with a low glycemic index, according to a study published in the Nutrition Journal . For people who need to watch their blood glucose, aka blood sugar, sweet and high-carbohydrate foods can be problematic, especially for those with diabetes. Many of them rely on information about a food’s glycemic index (GI), which measures how much a food will spike blood glucose, to help them make healthy choices. Foods with a high glycemic index, which is ranked from 1 to 100, will make blood sugar rise quickly. Those with a lower glycemic index cause blood sugar to rise at a steadier, safer pace. Scientists analyzed five common varieties of dates (Fara'd, Lulu, Bo ma'an, Dabbas and Khalas) for their glycemic index and their effects on the blood sugar of healthy subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes."

Fruit is the perfect choice for meeting your potassium needs, because in most cases you’ll also be getting the benefits of antioxidants and increased fiber intake.1. Apricots (Dried): 1162mg Potassium (33% DV)When you dry a fruit, you concentrate all of its properties, and in this case dried apricots have far more potassium per serving than their fresh counterparts. A 100 gram serving of dried apricots nets you a third of how much potassium you’re supposed to get each day. When eating dried fruits, be aware that many times the sugar is concentrated as well, which means you’ll want to keep an eye on how much you eat. The same serving described above comes with 53 grams of sugar, so it may not be in your best interest to eat too much of them. Although if you only eat 30 grams or so you’ll be cutting that sugar intake by two thirds and still get 10% of your potassium for the day. Tips for eating more: Dried apricots make a great snack all by themselves, or they can be chopped up and added to a salad. If you have the choice, opt for sulfur dioxide-free dried apricots.2. Raisins: 749mg Potassium (21% DV)Raisins are another dried fruit that knocks out its fresh form, with a fifth of your recommended daily value of potassium in a 100 gram serving."

"text": "\"Top Potassium-Rich Foods and How They Benefit You Blog / Nutrition / June 6, 2017What is Potassium? Potassium is a mineral and an essential nutrient needed for a wide range of vital functions. These functions include pumping your heart, fluid and electrolyte balance, and the sodium-potassium pump that all cells in the body depend on to function. Your brain, heart, kidneys, and muscles need potassium for several vital functions. That is why a potassium deficiency or being on a medication that negatively impacts potassium levels can cause terrible consequences in the body. These consequences include severe headaches, dehydration, heart palpitations and swelling of body tissues- especially glands- because of water imbalance. Biologically, potassium is a soft silvery-white metal. 0.2% of your body is made up of potassium, that means most adults have a rough total of 120 g of potassium in their body. That’s roughly a quarter pound of your body weight being potassium. Interestingly, our bodies have the same amounts of sulfur and chlorine as potassium."

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to improved dosage forms of pharmaceuticals for treating rhinitis associated with allergies and colds. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONDecongestants and Antihistamines [0003] Rhinitis refers to an inflammatory disorder of the nasal passages. The symptoms of rhinitis typically consist of sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal congestion, and increased nasal secretions. Untreated rhinitis may lead to other disorders including infection of the sinuses, ears and lower respiratory tract. [ 0004] Two types of oral medication are commonly used to treat rhinitis: decongestants and antihistamines. Decongestants and antihistamines differ in mechanism of action, therapeutic effects, and side effects. It is common practice to combine the use of these two to bring about more complete symptom relief of rhinitis than is possible with either entity alone. [ 0005] Decongestants commonly used to treat rhinitis include the sympatomimetic agents pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine."

If you have high blood pressure, you should be aware that some prescription medicines as well as some over-the-counter drugs and supplements can easily raise it. Here’s how you can stay safe:1. Keep a list Let all your doctors know about all the medicines you are prescribed. That way, each doctor can check for possible interactions that can affect your blood pressure. Also tell your doctors about any OTC medicines, herbal remedies and supplements you take. When you’re prescribed a new medication, such as any of the following, ask about its possible effect on blood pressure:• Antidepressants• Drugs to suppress the immune system• Medicines that contain hormones• Pain medications• Stimulants such as methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta)Many of these drugs as well as other medicines can have a negative effect on blood pressure. If you’re concerned about a medicine that has the potential to raise blood pressure, ask if there’s an alternative that won’t have that effect—or if your dose can be lowered. You can also talk to your pharmacist about the effects of the medicines you take and any possible interactions. Pharmacists are good sources for information about nonprescription remedies too.2.

"text": "\"Home / Pregnancy / Pregnancy Safety Questions / Pregnancy Safety: Health Is it safe to take cold medications during pregnancy? Gerald Briggspharmacist clinical specialist Some of the ingredients in cold medications are considered safe for pregnant women, but others should be avoided. Most cold medicines are multi-symptom remedies that contain two or more drugs (although you can also buy these drugs individually). The drugs include antihistamines for alleviating allergy symptoms and helping you sleep, antitussives for suppressing coughs, expectorants for loosening up mucus, decongestants for relieving stuffiness, and analgesics for easing aches and pains. Remember that no drug is 100 percent safe for all women, so it's a good idea to check with your doctor or midwife before taking any kind of medicine during pregnancy. Don't take more than the recommended dose and, if possible, avoid taking anything during your first trimester, when your developing baby is most vulnerable. Here are a few cold medications that are okay to take during pregnancy: The antihistamines chlorpheniramine, loratadine, doxylamine, brompheniramine, phenindamine, pheniramine, triprolidine, and diphenhydramine are considered low risk during pregnancy, but they can make you sleepy, especially doxylamine and diphenhydramine. The expectorant guaifenesin thins mucous secretions in the respiratory passages, making it easier to cough them up. While one study found an increased risk of inguinal hernias in babies exposed to this drug, others have not. Although avoiding any drug in pregnancy is the safest course, exposure to guaifenesin does not appear to cause harm to a developing baby."

Here are a few tips that may help: Treating a Cold or Flu in Early Pregnancy As a general rule, if you have a cold or flu in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, you should avoid all medications.

These drugs are some of the most widely used medications, but they aren't very well understood by most of the people who take them. They are reliable and effective when used appropriately for moderate pain relief, but they also have risks and potential side effects. What You Should Know About Pain Relievers There are two basic types of over-the-counter pain relievers: NSAIDs ( nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ), which include aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin), naproxen sodium (Aleve), and ketoprofen (Orudis KT) and Acetaminophen (Tylenol and Panadol). Some products combine these pain relievers with other ingredients like caffeine or decongestants and market the product for combinations of symptoms. You'll sometimes see these products advertised for cold and flu relief. These added ingredients may address symptoms including nasal congestion or cough. In general, ibuprofen, naproxen, and ketoprofen reduce pain more than the same dose of acetaminophen or aspirin, although acetaminophen and aspirin have other advantages. Acetaminophen is often recommended for treating the pain of arthritis because it doesn't cause stomach irritation. It is also the safest pain reliever for children and adults."

"text": "Understanding Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications and High Blood Pressure Updated: Nov 13,2017Look for warnings related to high blood pressure or HBP medication Always read the labels on all over-the-counter medications, especially if you have high blood pressure (HBP or hypertension). Look for warnings to those with high blood pressure and to those who take blood pressure medications. If you have high blood pressure and certainly if you are on prescription medication, consult your healthcare professional before taking any OTC medications or supplements. Be careful with supplements or natural (naturopathic) remedies There are no special pills, vitamins or drinks that can substitute for prescription medications and lifestyle modifications. Talk to your healthcare provider before taking any over-the-counter drug or supplement that claims to lower your blood pressure. They may not work as advertised and/or interfere with other medications. In fact, some can even raise your blood pressure. Decongestants may raise your blood pressure People with high blood pressure should be aware that the use of decongestants may raise blood pressure or interfere with the effectiveness of some prescribed blood pressure medications. Be aware of over-the-counter cold and flu preparations that contain decongestants such as: Oxymetazoline Phenylephrine Pseudoephedrine Check the sodium content Some over-the-counter medications are high in sodium, which can also raise blood pressure. Look at the active and inactive ingredients lists for words like “sodium” or “soda.”"

"text": "Treatment Options How Advil ®Cold & Sinus Works Many people attribute the stuffiness associated with the cold or the flu to an increase in mucus which blocks their airways. While it is true that increased mucus is a symptom of the common cold, it is not always what causes you to feel so stuffed up. Instead, the true source of nasal and sinus congestion is often caused by inflammation of the tissues throughout the nose and face. When the body identifies a virus it considers a threat, it springs to defense in various ways, one of which is by causing the airways within the nose and sinuses to swell and become inflamed. Advil ® Cold & Sinus is a combination of pseudoephedrine (a powerful decongestant) and ibuprofen (an effective pain reliever). The two work together to reduce nasal and sinus congestion caused by inflammation and lessen the pain associated with the common cold or the flu. Relieves Nasal Congestion The best way to relieve congestion is to treat the inflammation that causes it. Advil ® Cold & Sinus addresses this problem with an effective decongestant, called pseudoephedrine. Pseudoephedrine works by releasing norepinephrine, a form of adrenaline, which affects the tiny muscles lining the walls of blood vessels, causing them to constrict or close. This process serves to re-open vital airways and allows the cold-sufferer to breathe easier."

There are nine species of deer living in the UK: Red ( Cervus elaphus ); Fallow ( Dama dama ); Roe ( Capreolus capreolus ), Sika ( Cervus nippon ); Muntjac ( Muntiacus reevesi ); Reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus ); Chinese Water ( Hydropotes inermis ); Chita l ( Axis axis ); and Pere David's deer ( Elaphurus davidianus ). Six of these are found wild, and three (Reindeer, Chital and Pere David's) are found exclusively in parks. Taxonomy: There is an expression that goes something along the lines of ‘nothing that is worth doing is ever easy’. While I can think of a few things to which that idea doesn’t apply, it certainly seems applicable to the task of classifying mammals. In Linnaeus’ time, the situation was a little more straightforward, with animal groups assembled primarily on the way the critters looked. With the advent of molecular genetics, it has become increasingly apparent that morphology may not always provide the best taxonomic identifiers. Thus, we find ourselves in a situation where different techniques for measuring and weighting taxonomic characters led to the different arrangement of species. Much has happened to the arrangement of the mammals in the last half-century and there are many groups -- of which deer are one -- for which the relationships are still not fully resolved."

"text": "The Ruminant Stomach Online Biology Dictionary Site Search EUGENE M. MCCARTHY, PHDRuminant stomach The ruminant stomach is a multi-chambered organ found in ruminants (see picture at right). It is usually composed of four separate chambers and allows digestion of large quantities of plant matter that would be relatively indigestible for most other types of mammals, in particular grass and the leaves. The upper part of this stomach is where fermentation of green foliage takes place with help from anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria allow ruminants to break down cellulose, a major component of all leaves. The slow fermentation and digestive processes that occur within this complex stomach also allow better absorption nutrients as they go on from the stomach to pass through the intestines. Having a ruminant stomach is a big advantage because it makes it so easy to find something to eat (cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on earth). What are ruminants? Goat chewing cud ( Enlarge )Ruminants are mammals that chew cud, that is, they regurgitate partially digested solids (the cud), and chew them again. They then re-swallow the cud. This re-chewing of the cud to further break down the semi-digested food is called “ruminating."

They later regurgitate this material, called cud, and chew it again to further break down its cellulose content, which is difficult to digest.

Because they are ruminants, which mean they chew cud like a cow or deer, they are efficient utilizers of the available food and will do well on different kinds of low protein hay or pasture grass; approximately two pounds per 125 pounds of body weight per day. A single, 60-pound bale of hay can generally feed a group of about 20 alpacas for one day. Alfalfa is discouraged or fed only sparingly, as it has high protein content that can be unhealthy for the animals. To assure their alpacas receive the appropriate balance of vitamins and minerals, some breeders also choose to feed a pelleted food especially formulated for this purpose. Additionally, all alpacas require access to free-choice mineral supplements and plenty of clean, fresh water to drink.0 Comments Add a Comment0Posted Alpacas are principally grazers but sometimes they enjoy casual browsing. In our regions they need hay in addition during the rich vegetation period.0 Comments Add a Comment0Posted Primarily alpacas eat grass.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Stylised illustration of a ruminant digestive system An impala swallowing and then regurgitating food - a behaviour known as \"\"chewing the cud\"\"Ruminants are mammals that are able to acquire nutrients from plant-based food by fermenting it in a specialized stomach prior to digestion, principally through microbial actions. The process, which takes place in the front part of the digestion system and therefore is called foregut fermentation, typically requires the fermented ingesta (known as cud) to be regurgitated and chewed again. The process of rechewing the cud to further break down plant matter and stimulate digestion is called rumination. [ 1] [2] The word \"\"ruminant\"\" comes from the Latin ruminare, which means \"\"to chew over again\"\". The roughly 200 species of living ruminants include both domestic and wild species. [ 3] Ruminating mammals include cattle, goats, sheep, giraffes, yaks, deer, antelope, and some macropods ( kangaroos ). [ 4] It has also been suggested that notoungulates also relied on rumination, as opposed to other atlantogenates that rely on the more typical hindgut fermentation, though this is not entirely certain. [ 5]Taxonomically, the suborder Ruminantia (also known as ruminants) is a lineage of herbivorous artiodactyls that includes the most advanced and widespread of the world's ungulates. [ 6] The term 'ruminant' is not synonymous with Ruminantia. [ citation needed] The suborder Ruminantia includes many ruminant species, but does not include tylopods and marsupials. ["

"text": "Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) in White-Tailed Deer Description Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) is an acute, infectious, often fatal viral disease of some wild ruminants. This malady, characterized by extensive hemorrhages, has been responsible for significant epizootics in deer in the northern United States and southern Canada. A similar hemorrhagic disease called bluetongue also occurs throughout the U. S. and Canada. The two diseases are antigenically different. Distribution Since 1890, deer die-offs from diseases which might have been EHD have occurred in various parts of North America. These early die-offs were variously diagnosed as blackleg, blacktongue, bluetongue, mycotic stomatitis or hemorrhagic septicemia or they were undetermined. The causative agents were never confirmed. A review of the case histories, signs and lesions, seasonal occurrence, and lack of a bacterial agent suggests that they might have been EHD. The first occurrence and subsequent identification of EHD occurred in 1955 when several hundred white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus) succumbed in both New Jersey and in Michigan. It was considered a new disease of deer and the name 'epizootic hemorrhagic disease' was suggested to describe its main clinical and pathological features."

Sheep, cattle, goats, deer, giraffes and llamas are ruminant animals. This means that they have a four-chambered stomach. The four chambers of the ruminant stomach are the reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum. The rumen serves as a large fermentation vat in which bacteria and other microorganisms reside. These microbes are capable of breaking down feedstuffs that the cow cannot. As part of this process, they produce a number of by-products, such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which the animal absorbs and uses as energy.

Ruminants There are about 150 different domestic and wild ruminant species including cows, goats, deer, buffalo, bison, giraffe, moose and elk. Ruminant animals are further classified by their foraging behavior: grazers, browsers, or intermediate grazers. Grazers, such as cattle, consume mostly lower quality grasses while browsers such as moose and mule deer stay in the woods and eat highly nutritious twigs and shrubs. Intermediats, such as sheep, goats, and white tail deer, have nutritional requirements midway between grazers and browsers. Of this group, sheep are more of a grazer, while goats and deer are browsers. The primary difference between ruminants and simple-stomach animals (called monogastrics), such as people, dogs, and pigs is the presence of a four-compartment stomach.

Share: FULL STORYScientists could have a revolutionary new way of measuring how much of the potent greenhouse gas methane is produced by cows and other ruminants, thanks to a surprising discovery in their poo. Credit: © Pink Shot / Fotolia Scientists could have a revolutionary new way of measuring how much of the potent greenhouse gas methane is produced by cows and other ruminants, thanks to a surprising discovery in their poo. Researchers from the University of Bristol and the Teagasc Animal and Grassland Research Centre in Ireland, have found a link between methane production and levels of a compound called archaeol in the feces of several fore-gut fermenting animals including cows, sheep and deer. The compound could potentially be developed as a biomarker to estimate the methane production from domestic and wild animals, allowing scientists to more accurately assess the contribution that ruminants make to global greenhouse gas emissions. Co-author Dr Fiona Gill, who conducted the work as a postdoctoral researcher at Bristol and is now at the University of Leeds, said: \"\"When it comes to calculating carbon budgets there is currently a lot of uncertainty surrounding animal methane contributions, particularly from wild ruminants. \"\" We're quite good at measuring man-made CO 2 emissions, but techniques to measure the animal production of methane -- a much more potent greenhouse gas -- have serious limitations. \"\" If we can identify a simple biomarker for methane production in animal stools, then we can use this along with information on diet and animal population numbers to estimate their total contribution to global methane levels. \"\" Cows, sheep and other ruminants are thought to be responsible for around one-fifth of global methane production but the precise amount has proved difficult to quantify. Methane production from animals is often measured using respiration chambers, which can be laborious and are unsuitable for grazing animals."

Also known as paratuberculosis, this infection is contagious, which means it can spread in your herd.

Some photos have been provided by the Johne’s Information Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, http://johnes.org. Q: What is Johne’s disease? A: Johne’s (“YO-knees”) disease is a fatal gastrointestinal disease of goats and other ruminants (including cattle, sheep, elk, deer, and bison) that is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). Also known as paratuberculosis, this infection is contagious, which means it can spread in your herd. The MAP organism is most commonly passed in the manure of infected animals. The infection usually spreads from adult goats to kids and occurs when a young animal swallows the organism via water, milk or feed that has been contaminated by manure from infected animals. Most owners are taken by surprise when the infection is diagnosed, and learn too late that the infection has taken hold in multiple animals in a herd."

"text": "Exotic Pets Small Pets How to Care for a Pet Degu By Lianne Mc Leod, DVMUpdated 03/11/18Share Pin Email Degus (Octodon degus). Ales Veluscek/Stockbyte/Getty Images Names These rodents are known as Octodon degus, degu, brush-tailed rat, and common degu. Life Span of Degus Five to eight years is a typical lifespan of a pet degu although up to ten years is possible. Size of Degus The body of a degu is about five to seven inches long and their tail adds another five to six inches of length. Degu Behavior Degus are very social animals and can become very tame if they are handled from an early age (but never pick them up by their tail). They do best if kept with other degus because of their extremely social nature and are also diurnal so they are active during the day (a lot of rodents are nocturnal). Degus are playful and curious but without social interaction and the opportunity for exercise they can become aggressive and neurotic. In the wild, they live in communities—much like prairie dogs —and dig an elaborate system of burrows in which they make their homes. Housing Degus Degus need a large cage to live in. For a couple of degus, a minimum sized cage of 24 inches by 18 inches by 24 inches tall is needed."

"text": "\"Origin, Kinship and Life in the Wild Degus are a quite young “pet-species” as they were introduced to households as pets in the 1980s. Now they are rapidly growing in popularity. When they were first discovered scientifically in the middle of the 18th century they were thought to be members of the squirrel family. In fact their pattern of life shows similarities such as hoarding food supplies. Now the degu is a member of the family Octodontidae which comprises some other rodents from South America as well. To be accurate, this family contains 9 species placed in 6 genera. Members are found in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, occupying habitats ranging from coastal scrub at sea level to barren rocky outcrops at around 3500 m elevation. Degus live in Chile inhabiting different areas and are often seen as pests since they often more or less destroy crops and plantations. Degus in the wild will live in groups of about 5 to 10 animals. You will find more information following this link: http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Octodon_degus.html In the wild, degus build complex burrows that provide shelter during the night and in cases of danger."

Animal Research: http://dels.nas.edu/ilar/Notes A variety of vertebrate and invertebrate animal species has been used in research in the lab. All the species used so far are listed here. Posted values of body mass, body temperature, and circadian period are means only. Since some species exhibit more variability than others, the accuracy of the posted values is variable. Most values were measured in our lab, but some were obtained from the scientific literature. ( Body temperature values for ectothermic animals are indicated as N/A, meaning \"\"not applicable\"\".) Samples of data obtained from individuals of some of these species are available in the Data Repository section of this web site. Links to abstracts or full-text articles describing the research that involved these animals in our lab can be found in the Research and Publications sections. Highlight The Nile Grass Rat As a diurnal rodent of small body size, good tempera- ment, and short breeding cycle, the Nile grass rat ( Arvicanthis niloticus) is an attractive laboratory animal for biomedical research. Like the standard laboratory rat, it is relatively insensitive to variations in photoperiod and does not hibernate."

Answer by Marklv Confidence votes 198The word 'dago' is a derivative of the Spanish name 'Diego', which means 'James'. It was originally coined in the 17th century by British sailors to indicate Spanish or Portuguese people, especially sailors. Despite the hispanic origin of the word, in the 19th century the word 'dago' became more commonly used in the USA as a derogatory term for Italians, due to the large immigration from that country. However, it is still used to indicate Spanish or Portuguese people as well, but rarely the French. The word 'wop' is derived from 'without official papers', which was a comment that was written by US immigration officials in their records, with reference to poorer Italian immigrants who entered the USA without passports or any other means of identification. It then became a derogatory name for Italians or those of Italian origin in general, within the USA. Rarely used in other English speaking countries.15 people found this useful Was this answer useful? Yes Somewhat No Jasonatron 11 Contributions What is doo-wop?"

As a result of their plant diet, herbivorous animals typically have mouthparts adapted to rasping or grinding. Horses and other herbivores have wide flat teeth that are adapted to grinding grass, tree bark, and other tough plant material. A large percentage of herbivores have mutualistic gut flora that help them digest plant matter, which is more difficult to digest than animal prey. ["

Follow 22 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Technically speaking they should be herbivores, because their predominant food source is plant material. Then again, don't forget that a whole bunch of insects and their larvae live on leaves and I've never seen giraffes spit out food because there was a yucky spider, maggot or whatever smaller animal in between the stuff they like in the first place. The fact that they don't actively hunt for proteine rich insects or other small animals makes them herbivore in the regular classifications.

Getty Images/Patcharin Chatchirdchaikul / Eye Em A regular dust bath is an absolute necessity for all chinchillas (and degus, too). Taking a vigorous dust bath is one of their natural behaviors and it is how chinchillas keep their lush coats clean and healthy. Not only does a dust bath help to keep their thick fur smooth and silky, it is thought to be relaxing and fun for chinchillas. Chinchillas really get into their baths, rolling and flipping in the dust with great abandon. If you have never seen a chinchilla in a dust bath be sure to look up some videos of them rolling around in one. Dust for Chinchilla Dust Baths Always use store-bought chinchilla dust for bathing your chinchilla. This dust is specifically made for chinchillas and for this purpose. When the chinchillas roll in this dust, it penetrates their coat down to the skin and absorbs oil and dirt from the fur which in turn keeps the coat clean. Other powders or sand may look or feel similar but they just won't work the same way."

"text": "Xuân Mai Võ, veterinarian, anatomist, occasional archaeologist. Answered Mar 25, 2014All in all, human and animal medicine parallel each other in many ways in spite of the detailed differences. The cost of a medical degree is similar (My vet students right now come out with ~ $200,000 for 4 yrs of vet school, I had (have) ~139K at the time of graduation 12 years ago- I believe that is in par with our human counterparts. I can safely say that most human doctors in the US make an exponentially higher salary than most of their veterinary counterparts but it is the ratio of the compensation vs cost of a profession that is important to compare. The ratio of salary to cost of practicing is much lower in veterinary doctors in the majority of cases. Speaking for vets, our costs of maintaining our licensing, facilities and knowledge is high, and probably similar to those of doctors: landlords, gas companies, pharmacies, diagnostics labs, healthcare companies, government licensing agencies, etc don't give vets discounts just because we treat kittens and puppies (and horses, and parrots, and toads, and monkeys, and pigs, and bats and degus...). I think veterinarians have to be a more satisfied with the emotional reward of healing and caring for our patients as we don't get to reap as much financial compensation for the blood, sweat, tears and time that all doctors, human or animal, put into their jobs. Medicine is a labour of love, and in most vets' case, love is also a large part of the reward! I wonder if my landlord would accept hugs instead of my rent, then I might stand a chance at paying off my school loans before I retire. I wonder where dentists stand in this ratio... Tangentially, see this cost comparison from a vet who had the same procedure done as his canine patient: Comparing the Costs of Human vs. Animal Health Care.2.2k Views · View Upvoters"

They will take up less space and be less likely to spoil than fresh foods. Foods can be dehydrated with the intention of rehydrating them later or with the intention of eating them in dried form. A wide variety of foods is suited for this type of treatment, including fruits, vegetables, meats and even main dishes that you cook at home. Fruits When dehydrating fruits, you want to soak them first in a solution that will limit bacteria and keep the fruit from becoming too dark. You can use a citric acid solution or a mix of half lemon juice and half water. Commonly dried fruits include apples, grapes, plums, pineapple, pears, figs, apricots, berries, bananas, cherries and peaches, although you can dry other fruits, like melons, as well. You can also spread pureed fruits on trays and dehydrate the puree into fruit leather. Dried fruits can be added to salads, trail mix, granola or main dishes or reconstituted and used in fruit desserts like cobblers and crisps. Once dehydrated, fruits will be leathery in texture but still pliable."

How to Dry Fruits and Vegetables at Home Dehydration as a method of food preservation has been around a long time. Primitive man dried victuals by the heat of the sun or with the aid of fire, then ground the dehydrated stores into a long-lasting powder or ate them \"\"as is\"\". Now, thousands of years later, dehydration is still one of the most widely used methods of food preservation in the world . . . for some mighty good reasons. Drying preserves the vitamin, mineral, protein, and fiber content of foods . . . more so than preservation techniques that expose the viands to great changes in temperature. Dehydrated foodstuffs are actually more flavorful — in most cases — than the original, undried food. ( Frozen and canned edibles, on the other hand, are — if anything — less tasty than their fresh or dried equivalents. )"

"text": "\"Drying Food for Long Term Storage While most people are familiar with dry goods for storage (like dry beans, rice or flour), it is not always the first thing you think of as a way to store your own fresh produce. That is, to dehydrate your own food for storage. Pros and Cons Home-dried food will last a very long time in storage, and can be stored in any moisture-proof container without much other special care. With the water removed, food is also very light and compact which makes for more efficient storage. Most items will store for 3 to 5 years without any special conditions. There are a couple of downsides to drying your own food as well. Firstly, it will take a substantial amount of water to reconstitute your food and that can be a problem if clean water is at a premium during an emergency. Some dried fruits can be eaten while still dry (and are even better that way) but most will need some soaking and simmering to soften them up enough to be palatable. The other downside is the taste and texture of the rehydrated foods. Some foods will be nearly like their fresh state, but others will still be a little chewy even after simmering in water for a while."

I was just wondering what the best way to store these once dried would be. I did some searching and found someone saying that you can store them on a shelf if you keep them in an air-tight jar. If I pack them in a mason jar and they are thoroughly dehydrated would they be fine to keep on a shelf in the pantry? Email Save Comment 20 Like 1Comments (20)Linda_Lou (SW Wa. ) Yes, if they are totally dried you can store on the shelf. Some people like them a bit more soft so they don't dry them until totally crisp, so they have to keep them frozen.

"text": "\"In the world of dehydrators, there might be nothing as \"\"modern\"\" as dehydrated kale chips. Before 2010, the idea was basically unheard of, but now you run into kale chip recipes everywhere online. Part of this popularity we think comes from more interest in healthy food generally. Kale, high in beta carotene, vitamin C, vitamin K, and rich in calcium, definitely qualifies as a healthy food. But dehydrators add another key feature that we think makes kale chips even more popular – the ability to run at the low temperatures needed to make “raw” food. We recently decided to try some different kale chips recipes to see what the big fuss is all about. Can kale, a relative to cabbage and broccoli, actually be made into a snack that people (and kids?) will eat voluntarily? We’re happy to report that you can make a pretty good snack out of kale. Our kids wouldn’t go out of their way to eat more kale chips, but they did give some of these recipes a solid “not terrible”."

The only threat to deterioration is the remaining moisture. When dehydrating food, it is better to over-dry than under-dry. Once dehydrated, food must be packed inside airtight moisture-proof jars, bags or containers. It should be stored in a cool, dark area such as a pantry or cupboard. According to the Department of Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Science at Brigham Young University, rice, corn, wheat and grains that have been properly dehydrated, canned and stored will last 30 years or more. Dehydrated vegetables, fruits, and pastas have a shelf life of up to 30 years. Powdered milks or milk substitutes can last up to 20 years."

Raw nuts, not properly treated, can actually be quite harmful. Here’s the basic philosophy: Our good friend, the “nut” requires soaking for 12 hours in sea-salt/water, rinsing and then low-temperature drying, in order for us to properly digest them. And why must we take this extra step? Raw nuts contain “enzyme inhibitors.” Our body produces enzymes to help us break down our food. Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that bind to these enzymes, rendering them useless. By clogging the delicate balance of digestion, nuts can give us a belly ache. Or, in my case, an itchy head. Yup."

My picks for the top cat foods for 2018 are chosen for their high quality ingredients and their approximation to a cat's natural diet in the wild - mainly the kinds of foods cats hunt. No rats or rabbits, but protein-rich meat, foul, and fish. These foods contain the same high grade protein that is sold for human consumption - no fillers or by-products. Pet cats have not evolved much from their ancestors, especially physiologically. Their intestines are intended to process food pretty quickly, so they should not be bogged down trying to digest processed foods, grains, and carbohydrates - because cats are biologically, physiologically, and physically engineered to eat raw meats, poultry, and other fresh animal meat and sea foods. There are many reasons why more and more pet owners are moving toward raw food diets for their pets. One is the high number of pet food recalls of some of the most popular brands of pet foods that we hear about almost weekly. We've also become more educated about what should not be included in pet food, like grains, vegetable starches, and preservatives. Also, we are more aware that even protein sources used in many popular brands of pet food may come from animal waste, not fit for human consumption."

You lose fluid through breathing, sweating, urinating, bowel movements and, when you're sick, through vomiting or diarrhea. While individual needs vary based on factors such as size and activity level, the daily recommended fluid intake to prevent dehydration is 10 to 15 8-ounce glasses. Because 20 percent of this amount comes from food, aim to drink eight to 13 glasses -- or until you're not thirsty and your urine appears pale or translucent.

Unlike high-calorie sugary drinks, water is calorie-free. It's also affordable and convenient. To up your daily water intake, Dietitians of Canada recommends drinking a glass as soon as you wake up and right before bed. Carry a container of water with you throughout the day, and add a lemon or lime wedge to make it more refreshing.

A food dehydrator is one of the easiest appliances to operate, and most recipes are very simple and similar. Before we get to the list, here are some common instructions that many of the foods below share. Pre-Treatment If the instructions say to pre-treat, that means to dip the fruit in ascorbic acid, citrus juice, or simple syrup. This is because some fruits will brown when exposed to air, and pre-treating will prevent discoloration. To make a simple syrup, boil water and sugar in a 1:1 ratio. Let it cool before using it on the fruit. For vegetables, you'll need to steam blanch for about a minute. This helps to prevent spoilage while in the dehydrator and also softens the cell structure to allow water to escape quicker. Water blanching is not recommended because the vegetables will lose much of their vitamins and minerals."

The infections that cause gastroenteritis can inflame the lining of your gut and stop it working as it should, causing diarrhoea and other symptoms. In the UK, about one in five people get an infection that causes gastroenteritis each year. The illness is more common in young children, who may have it more than once a year. If you have gastroenteritis, you will usually recover and feel better within a few days and won’t need medical treatment.

A collection of small beads Seed beads or rocailles [ citation needed] are uniformly shaped, spheroidal beads ranging in size from under a millimeter to several millimeters. Seed bead is also a generic term for any small bead. Usually rounded in shape, seed beads are most commonly used for loom and off-loom bead weaving. They may be used for simple stringing, or as spacers between other beads in jewelry. Larger seed beads are used in various fiber crafts for embellishment, or crochet with fiber or soft, flexible wire. The largest size of a seed bead is 1° (\"\"one-aught\"\", sometimes written 1/0) and the smallest is 24°, about the size of a grain of sand.

Is there any where that's less painful than fingers for testing blood glucose? The initial stick just makes me flinch and is not bad at all. However,I always end up with pain in whichever finger i poke afterwards. If my finger had mouths they'd scream. I make beaded and wire jewelry and because my fingers are sore and painfull I have had to put it on hold. Its depressing : (Tags: blood sugar newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes Tweet Add your reply5 repliesdebzoe 3 years ago 0I was on my way to bed, but stopped to add a quick comment. I agree with everything that James suggested, but you might want to adjust the depth that your lancet device sticks. If it is adjustable, you might have it set too high. Try dialing it down a bit and see if that helps."

The birth of modern Malaysia in 1963 continues to add more of the amazing collection of traditional costumes. Malaysian costumes include Sabah and Sarawak, also rich in tradition and culture from its many ethnic and indigenous people, further contributed to the fashion heritage of Malaysia. Today we are most fortunate to witness the rich legacy of traditional costumes of various ethnic groups and communities in Malaysia as our very own cultural identity that we can be proud of. The Malaysian traditional costumes become a kaleidoscope of colours. It is a visual delight to one and all. MALAYTraditional Malay attire is the \"\"baju melayu\"\", a loose tunic which is worn over trousers and usually accompanied with a \"\"sampin\"\", which is a sarong which is wrapped around a man's hips. It is also often accompanied with a songkok or cap, on their head.

For the van version of the Mini car, see Mini § Mini Van.2011 Toyota Sienna2017 Chrysler Pacifica (RU) Hybrid A minivan (American English), people carrier (British English), [1] or MPV ( multi-purpose vehicle) or MUV ( multi-utility vehicle) is a vehicle size classification describing a high-roof vehicle with a flexible interior layout. Smaller sizes are mini MPV and compact MPV classifications. [ 2]The minivan combines a high-roof, five-door one- or two-box hatchback body configuration with a mid-size platform, engine and mechanicals; car-like handling and fuel economy; unibody construction; front-wheel or all-wheel drive and greater height than sedan or station wagon counterparts. The design offers higher h-point seating, two or three rows of seating, easy passenger and cargo access with sliding wide-opening rear doors and large rear hatch, and a re-configurable interior volume with seats that recline, slide, tumble, fold flat or allow easy removal—enabling users to reprioritize passenger and cargo volumes. Contents [ hide ]1 Etymology2 Antecedents3 Asia4 North America4.1 Current models4.2 Discontinued models5 Europe5.1 Compact and mini MPVs6 References Etymology [ edit]In North America, the term minivan derives from comparison to traditional full-size vans, including the Ford E-Series, Dodge Ram Van, and the Chevrolet Van. Full-size vans derived their underpinnings upon full-size pickup trucks, while the first generation of minivans sold in North America derived from either compact pickup trucks or passenger cars (or both).

[ 4] [5] The DKW Schnellaster, manufactured from 1949 to 1962 was one of the first vehicles to feature the characteristics of modern minivans.

Delicas are cylindrically shaped, and they give a tile like appearance to finished pieces. Their holes are larger, due to the cylindrical shape so it is easy to pass the beading thread through them multiple times making them a joy to use. Originally, the definition of size 11/0 meant that there are 11 beads to the inch, but with delicas it tends to be more like 17 to 22 beads per inch, depending on the finish. In general, there are about 5 grams in each bag of size 11/0. There are around 200 beads in a gram so a bag holds 1000+ beads per bag!The larger size 8/0 Delica has 33 beads per gram, we pack them in a 2x2\"\" bag which holds 10 weighed grams, again, depending on the finish they can weigh more, holding around 330+ beads.

But how many people give a second thought to their lancing device? Most people simply use the device that comes with their glucose meter. Lancing devices also are sold separately, however. Let’s look at which devices may be a good fit for your life. If you have trouble changing your lancet …It’s suggested that you change the lancet for each finger stick to prevent infection and reduce the pain caused by a blunt lancet. But remembering to do so and handling the tiny lancets can be a challenge for some people. Then try …Accu-Chek Fast Clix Accu-Chek’s Fast Clix pen-like lancing device holds a drum of six lancets, which means you don’t have to fumble with tiny sharps. Push a lever on the device to advance to the next lancet; a small window shows how many unused lancets are left.

Jewellery may be attached to the body or the clothes, and the term is restricted to durable ornaments, excluding flowers for example. For many centuries metal, often combined with gemstones, has been the normal material for jewellery, but other materials such as shells and other plant materials may be used.

My tour was fascinating and the information below is what I gleaned from touring the factory. I was not invited to photograph most of the process, sorry. -bk How Miyuki Glass Seed Beads Are Made Step One: Raw materials and recycled glass of the same color are mixed and melted in the furnaces. The Miyuki factory has both automatic and manual furnaces operating 24 hours per day. They are on the 2nd floor. Step Two: When ready, molten glass from the furnaces falls through a hole. The shape of the hole determines the shape of the glass tubes. Compressed air hitting the center of the glass column turns it into a hollow tube of glass. Step Three: After dropping to the first floor, the vertical tube of falling glass passes under a thick chunk of wood and turns at a right angle to become horizontal."

Larkspur is a highly desirable cut flower with tall spikes of colorful petals that look as perfect in a cut glass vase on the dining room table as they do sitting in a rustic basket or bucket at a casual backyard party. Many people confuse larkspur plants with delphinium plants. Although they look similar and are both members of the buttercup family, larkspur are annuals with more delicate flowers in shades of white, pink and lavender. Delphinium are perennials with more substantial flowers in shades of purple, blue, red, yellow and white. Larkspur blooms from early spring through late summer with flowers that can range in size from a few inches to several feet long in the meadowland species. In Shakespeare’s time, Larkspur was also called lark’s heel, lark’s claw and knight’s spur. Larkspur in History Larkspur grows throughout the Northern Hemisphere and also in high mountain areas of tropical Africa. The Baker’s larkspur and yellow larkspur are native to California and are both federally listed endangered species. Only a few plants of Baker’s larkspur remain after they were almost entirely wiped out by road crews."

"text": "\"Garden Problems Stratificiation and Scarification- Fooling Seeds into Germinating By Marie Iannotti Updated 02/17/17Share Pin Email© Marie Iannotti Not all plant seeds are ready to sprout as soon as you put them in soil. Some hard shelled seeds need a bit more coaxing and some need a temperature change to trigger the end of dormancy. Scarification, cracking the hard outer shell, and stratification, fooling seeds into thinking they've been through winter, are two easy to do techniques that will save you a lot of frustration when starting seeds. Here's how they work. What Does it Mean to Stratify Seeds? Stratification is a means of simulating the chilling and warming that seeds would endure if left outdoors in their native climate, for the winter. Some seeds will stay dormant until triggered by a certain amount of time in cold temperature or warm, damp conditions. This will occur naturally if the seeds are left outdoors or in a coldframe throughout the winter. Gardeners can break the dormancy of these seeds by mimicking the required conditions indoors. To stratify seeds, store the seeds in some moistened peat, sand or paper towel in a closed container or sealed plastic bag."

They are popular in cottage-style gardens and cutting gardens. Delphiniums are a favorite of many gardeners, but can sometimes be a challenge. They prefer moist, cool summers and do not fare well in hot, dry weather. The plants also dislike sudden wind or rain. Except for the dwarf perennials, most delphiniums need staking. Planting Grow in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade, with shelter from strong winds. Plant in the spring. Prepare the soil, mixing in 2 to 4 inches of compost.

"text": "\"Home & Garden 11302381Ground rules for planting flowers in Minnesota By Ingrid Sundstrom Star Tribune April 30, 1998 — 11:00pm Text sizeemail Printmore Here's the scoop on popular annuals and perennials If you're thinking of planting perennials, be sure to look for Zone 4 or lower hardiness, i.e. plants that survive average minimum temperatures of -20 to -30 degrees – that's our climate. Most perennials hardy in Zone 4 need some winter protection – primarily mulching; most need quite a bit of sun. There are many varieties of perennials, each with many needs, including temperature conditions, planting requirements, resistance or susceptibility to disease or insect invasions, bloom time, feeding requirements and so forth. Not that these are particularly difficult or picky; once you get most of these perennials in the ground, they'll do just fine. Catalogs from nurseries that offer perennial plants are good study guides, although you may want to look up the same plant in several catalogs to compare data; some catalogs – especially those from nurseries in fairly temperate zones – don't zone plants appropriately. Yes, a Zone 5 plant (able to survive average minimum temperatures of -10 to -20 degrees) might survive Minnesota winters if planted in protected areas and are well-mulched each winter. But you could lose the plant in a very cold winter. For a permanent reference, get a book on perennials (available for $8 to $100) or the perennial plant booklet published by the Minnesota Landscape and Nursery Association from many nurseries for 50 cents and $1. Use these to learn about plants and to help you plan your garden. Try to establish a plan that gives you lighter-colored plants in shady areas, perennial blooms all season (possibly by interplanting groups of early-, mid- and late-blooming flowers), plants of appropriate heights (taller one in back, for instance) and mixed foliage textures (such as the large leaf of a tall canna lily near a stand of baby's breath)."

Annual plants flower, produce seeds and die; they do not return to the garden of their own accord. In other words, when you plant a flower seed it grows foliage, then flowers, goes to seed, and then the flower dies. This all happens within one year. Annual flowers typically will bloom from spring until frost season begins in fall. Annual flowers must be replanted each year (unless they are prolific enough seeders that they reseed themselves from dropping their own flower seeds); however, annual flowers are hard to beat in terms of showy, season-long color."

"text": "Breeding Delphiniums In this, the first of a short series on delphiniums, David Bassett discusses growing the cultivated forms from seed. A Russian botanist, N. I. Malyutin, recently distinguished 365 species of delphinium on the basis of characteristic features of their seeds. Even if this number may be a subject for academic debate, it is nice to think that one could have a different delphinium for each day of the year. It also emphasises that the genus includes a wider variety of plants than we see in our gardens at present. Some species are fascinating and growing them presents challenges that will be the subject of a later article. I concentrate here on the more straightforward matter of raising 'conventional' garden delphiniums from seed. If we ignore larkspurs, which are annuals that are now assigned to a separate genus, Consolida, all garden delphiniums are perennials, although three basic types of plant can be recognised. The first group comprises hardy perennials deriving mainly from the tall alpine species D. elatum. The flowers of these familiar plants of the herbaceous border are arranged in a long spike at the top of each stem, with a few more on small secondary sideshoots. The best forms have longer spikes with more florets than the species D. elatum, and the flowers are semi-double with more than twice as many sepals and petals and larger size."

The plants that thrived in the sun are now languishing in the shade. The sun perennials are weakly blooming or not blooming at all. The area you thought was dry, is actually a puddle for most of the summer; and that area you thought was shade actually gets 8 hours of sunshine. It’s time to make a move. Plants in general don’t like to be moved, but done gingerly, it can happen successfully. Then the question then is when is the best time to move perennials? The rule of thumb for moving perennials is answered best by narrowing down when they bloom so you can enjoy the bloom and move your perennial too. For spring and summer bloomers, savor the bloom, and once they are completely done, it is safe to move them."

The prevailing colour of the flower is blue, while cultivated forms have other colours, as well as double blooms. Ingesting young leaves before the flowers appear is a frequent cause of poisoning. Toxicity decreases as the plants age. Later in the season poisoning comes from eating the small seeds which hold the toxic alkaloids in concentrated amounts. These plants, if eaten in quantity cause upset stomach, abdominal cramps, bloating, twitching muscles, nervous symptoms, paralysis, and death. Tall larkspur, (Delphinium glaucuma) a member of the buttercup family, is a tall stately perennial with stems two to six feet tall. It is common in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and the central interior of B. C. If an animal eats as little as 0.7 percent of its weight of young plants, it will die. Low larkspur (Delphinium bicolor) is also a member of the buttercup family and has stems up to 18 inches high. All parts of the plant are poisonous."

Use a flower bed to create a focal point, give purpose to an awkward space and reduce the amount of grass you must mow each week. A flower bed can take many shapes and can incorporate everything from small annual flowers to large heirloom shrubs. When you landscape your own flower bed, you should choose a design and features that complement the other landscaping characteristics in your outdoor space, and use plants that grow well in your area.1Draft a scale drawing of your property on graph paper, including major features such as your house, sheds, patios, paths, ponds and existing flower beds. Use this drawing to gain perspective so you can determine the best placement and size for your new flower bed.2Take a soil sample from the desired garden area. Use a home soil testing kit to test the soil's nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous, as well as its p H level. The test results will tell you whether you need to add fertilizer to the native soil, and whether to add iron sulfate to increase acidity or agricultural lime to increase alkalinity. Rather than amend the soil to adjust the p H level, you can simply choose to plant flowers that thrive in the existing soil conditions. Depending on your soil p H, try acid-loving azaleas (Rhododendron spp. ), grown in U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 9, or alkaline-loving delphiniums (Delphinium spp. ),"

Get your bigleaf hydrangeas to turn clear, sky blue by increasing the acidity of the soil. Adding soil sulfur is one way to do this. Blue Flower Tip: Bigleaf hydrangeas can be shy bloomers. Most flower on last-year's growth, so if you need to prune them, do so right after they finish flowering. And look for newer varieties such as Endless Summer, which produce flowers on both new and old growth.

Delphiniums are another of those plants that are poisonous but not harmful. They are in HTA Category 'C' meaning they are least likely to cause harm. Most of the literature is about poisoning of cattle in the USA where it grows wild. I know of only one, not fully reported, human case and that was a chap who had a pretty unpleasant 12 hours but made a full recovery.2 Aug, 2011Moon_grower Even so TPG would you want to eat it? Mind you would you want to eat most plants/shrubs etc... It is time folk realised that unless you know a plant is okay to eat - don't eat it!2 Aug, 2011Thepoisonga.. Moon_grower But that's the point, surely. Why would you even think about eating delphiniums? There's nothing to suggest it is going to be tasty. It's the look of a plant that first makes us think about eating it. You are quite right, of course, that you shouldn't try anything you don't know is edible but I can't see too many people looking at larkspur and thinking 'I'd like to try that'.3 Aug, 2011Moon_grower Me neither but it is a strange world."

"text": "\"Paterson's Curse has been responsible for the deaths of many horses. Many plants are poisonous to equines; the species vary depending on location, climate, and grazing conditions. In many cases, entire genera are poisonous to equines and include many species spread over several continents. Plants can cause reactions ranging from laminitis (found in horses bedded on shavings from black walnut trees), anemia, kidney disease and kidney failure (from eating the wilted leaves of red maples ), to cyanide poisoning (from the ingestion of plant matter from members of the Prunus genus) and other symptoms. Members of the Prunus genus have also been theorized to be at fault for mare reproductive loss syndrome. [ 1] Some plants, including yews, are deadly and extremely fast-acting. [ 2] Several plants, including nightshade, become more toxic as they wilt and die, posing a danger to horses eating dried hay or plant matter blown into their pastures. [ 3]The risk of animals becoming ill during the fall is increased, as many plants slow their growth in preparation for winter, and equines begin to browse on the remaining plants. Many toxic plants are unpalatable, so animals avoid them where possible. However, this is not always the case; locoweeds, for example, are addictive and once a horse has eaten them, it will continue to eat them whenever possible, and can never be exposed to them again."

"text": "42 Spring Flowers Inspired by Pantone Colors of the Year Share March 4, 2016 | By FTD Fresh Tweet Every year we excitedly wait for Pantone to announce the color of the year. We think about how it’ll influence color palettes for design, fashion, and big events like weddings. This year, instead of just picking one color for the year, Pantone picked two: rose quartz and serenity. These colors are soft, much like the colors of many spring flowers. They channel mindfulness, wellbeing, and relaxation. Pantone also incorporated these colors into their Spring 2016 Fashion Color Report, which blends ten colors, both subtle and vivid, to create a contrasting yet balanced color palette. This palette inspired us to pair spring flowers with spring colors to create floral mood boards. Soft pink tulips pair perfectly with peach echo, for example. Use the mood boards below to help inspire you this season whether you’re planting spring flowers, decorating, or anything in between!Rose Quartz“Rose Quartz, a persuasive yet gentle tone…conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Like a serene sunset, flushed cheek or budding flower, Rose Quartz reminds us to reflect on our surroundings during the busy but lighthearted spring and summer months."

These herbaceous perennial plants are chiefly native to the mountainous parts of the Northern Hemisphere, [3] growing in the moisture-retentive but well-draining soils of mountain meadows.

[ 5] The Greek name lycotonum, which translates literally to \"\"wolf's bane \"\", is thought to indicate the use of its juice to poison arrows or baits used to kill wolves.

"text": "\"Slugs & Snails can be found most anywhere there's vegetation in Davis. In fact, since it was originally founded as an ag school, Davis should properly have a slug as its mascot rather than a horse that poops alot... I mean you see way more slugs in Davis than horses! Anyway, both slugs and snails belong to the mollusca phylum which includes the devilfish, octopi, squids, clams, and oysters; the huge snail/slug class is known as gastropoda. Gastropods are a soft-bodied type of mollusk that is basically a head with a flattened foot; most gastropods are aquatic animals, such as Northern California's wonderful red abalone or a common limpet, and both snails and slugs are the only terrestrial mollusk. The brown garden snail that we typically see in Davis is the European brown snail [Helix (Cyptoomphalus) aspersa Müller]. This plant feeder has been disseminated into many parts of the world intentionally as a food delicacy, accidentally by the movement of plants, and by hobbyists who collect snails. It was introduced to California in the 1850s as a source of escargot and has become very troublesome as a pest of crops and ornamentals. Though you can eat snails from your yard, be aware that even though you may not use snail/slug bait, poison laid out by your neighbor may infect seemingly healthy snails in your yard — ingesting poisoned snails can kill you! Be sure to read more about farming garden snails before consuming any slimy things off the ground. To be on the safe side, you could always buy some canned escargot at Cost Plus World Market instead. Essentially, the only difference between slugs and snails is that snails carry coiled shells on their backs while slugs don't."

"text": "Cats and poisonous plants Most of us are surrounded by plants, both wild and cultivated, in our homes and gardens and come to no harm. However, a small percentage of these plants have the potential to cause harm to ourselves and our cats. What are the risks? Most cats are fastidious creatures and are careful about what they eat. Poisoning in cats is therefore generally rare. It is the young inquisitive cat or kitten that is most at risk of eating harmful plants, particularly household ones. Boredom also has a part to play. When a cat is confined to a run or lives entirely indoors, hazardous plants should be removed from its environment. Cats given free access to the outside world tend to have other things to occupy their minds than sampling unfamiliar vegetation. But even free-roaming adult cats may accidentally ingest needles or seeds that have become entangled in their coat during grooming."

"text": "Growing Delphiniums From Seed By L. BRUGGEMANNMuchhas been written regarding the difficulties encounteredin growing Delphiniums from seed. To my way of thinking,these difficulties have been greatly over-emphasizedwith the result that gardeners either lave been reluctantto try sowing Delphinium seeds, thus depriving themselvesof a great deal of pleasure, or they have over donethe operation, using too many artificial safety devices. Anumber of years ago it was found that fresh Delphiniumseeds, hermetically sealed in bottles and kept in acool place, would retain viability for many months. I have had excellent germination from seed stored variouslyeither with maximum care or downright carelessness. I have sown the seed in nine different months of theyear and find that, given half a chance, Nature doesits work, if we take reasonable care in trying to duplicateconditions that exist when natural germination takesplace. Afterall, Aquilegia and Petunia seeds to me present greaterdifficulties than Delphiniums. On the other hand, allthree self-sow in the garden and come up in myriad’sof healthy little plantlets. And we all know that Petuniaand Aquilegia seed are hardly larger than course groundpepper. Fromexperience, therefore, I have concluded that I can,with a minimum amount of effort and a maximum result,be almost assured of success by merely following Nature’srules. Whento plant."

Tall larkspurs have a spurred blue flower, similar to that of garden delphinium. Broad leaves are divided into deep lobes. In contrast, wild geranium, which is often mistaken for larkspur, has shallow leaf lobes. Tall larkspur is a perennial that is found on hillsides and in meadows. It ranges in height from 1 to 2 meters. A hollow stem distinguishes larkspur from poisonous monkshood, which has a similar blue flower but with a hood. Low larkspur has spurred blue flowers that grow on the top third of a single and unbranched stem. It is found on grassy hillsides and in sagebrush areas, where it may reach a height of 2 feet."

They produce tall spikes of showy flowers in late spring through to mid summer. Most Delphiniums that are commonly cultivated are hybrid forms of Delphinium elatum and Delphinium belladonna and are hardy in USDA zones 3-9, but some hybrids are less cold hardy and others are annual or biennial plants. Delphiniums range in size from less than 2 feet tall to towering 6 ft. spikes of cup shaped blossoms. They have been favorites of gardeners for generations. Growing requirements for Delphiniums Delphiniums thrive in regions with cool, moist summers, and may languish in areas with hot, dry summers, where they are usually treated as annual plants. Delphiniums should be planted 1-3 ft. apart in an area with full sun to partial or light shade. They should be grown in light, sandy, well-drained, slightly alkaline soil, with a generous amount of compost added."

Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images L arkspurs (Delphinium species) have the potential to be highly toxic to dogs, although pets generally don’t eat them. These flowering plants contain diterpene alkaloids, which can cause health concerns ranging from vomiting to death. Larkspurs also contain protoanemonin, a bitter and irritating toxin the plants produce to dissuade animals from eating them. Larkspur Toxicity Larkspurs tend to become less toxic as they mature, according to the ASPCA. The alkaloids in these plants cause neuromuscular blocking because they inhibit a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. You may see drooling, vomiting or constipation after your dog has eaten larkspurs. These signs may be caused by the alkaloids or by the protoanemonin, which generally prevents dogs from eating a large amount of the plants. Due to the alkaloids, your dog’s heart may not beat normally, slowing down or stopping. Your dog may develop respiratory paralysis."

Malyutin, recently distinguished 365 species of delphinium on the basis of characteristic features of their seeds. Even if this number may be a subject for academic debate, it is nice to think that one could have a different delphinium for each day of the year. It also emphasises that the genus includes a wider variety of plants than we see in our gardens at present. Some species are fascinating and growing them presents challenges that will be the subject of a later article. I concentrate here on the more straightforward matter of raising 'conventional' garden delphiniums from seed. If we ignore larkspurs, which are annuals that are now assigned to a separate genus, Consolida, all garden delphiniums are perennials, although three basic types of plant can be recognised. The first group comprises hardy perennials deriving mainly from the tall alpine species D. elatum. The flowers of these familiar plants of the herbaceous border are arranged in a long spike at the top of each stem, with a few more on small secondary sideshoots. The best forms have longer spikes with more florets than the species D. elatum, and the flowers are semi-double with more than twice as many sepals and petals and larger size."

In general, this blossom meant an open heart, ardent attachment to something or to someone. It also meant lightness and levity. As the color of the flower changes, the meaning also changes. For example, purple larkspur does not mean fickle but means haughtiness or arrogance instead. And it can also be associated with the quality of swiftness. Name: Pink Larkspur Color: Larkspur has a blossom that’s available in many different colors – and in different hues. The pink larkspur doesn’t just have one shade of pink but it varies from pastel versions of the color to the darker shades that almost look like red."

Goldberg 1+ Author Affiliations Department of Neurobiology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USAHow do axons grow during development, and why do they fail to regrow when injured? In the complicated mesh of our nervous system, the axon is the information superhighway, carrying all of the data we use to sense our environment and carry out behaviors. To wire up our nervous system properly, neurons must elongate their axons during development to reach their targets. This is no simple task, however. The complex morphology of axons and dendrites puts neurons among the most intricate and beautiful cells in the body. Knowledge of how neurons extend axons and dendrites, elongate at a particular rate, and stop growing at the proper time is critical to understanding the development of our nervous system, yet the regulation of these processes is poorly understood. Considerable attention in recent years has focused on understanding how growth cones are guided and steered through complicated pathways (for review, see Schmidt and Hall 1998; Mueller 1999 ), and even how neurons initiate new processes (for review, see Da Silva and Dotti 2002 ), but what mechanisms are involved in elongation itself? Are environmental signals needed to drive axon growth and, if so, what are the intracellular molecular mechanisms by which they induce elongation? What controls the rate of axon growth?"

They have a high variability of branching pattern and extent (characteristic for individual neuronal types): Projecting neurons – long axon with terminal branching (several mm in length up to about 1 m); usually larger cell bodies + numerous cytoplasmic organelles. Interneurons (neurons of the local circuits) – short axons with side branches in the vicinity of the cell body (up to several mm); usually smaller cell bodies, lower amount of cytoplasm, less organelles. The axon arises from the soma (or sometimes from a dendrite) in a specialized region called the axon hillock. It passes into initial segment, which differs from the next part of axon in the special functional properties of its membrane (low threshold – high excitability due to densely packed Na + -VGCs). Most of the projecting neurons send axon collaterals into the local neuronal circuits, some of the neurons of local circuits send axons collateral toward more distant structures – no distinct functional difference between the two classes of neurons. Axonal transport Metabolic activity (biosynthesis) in axons is limited (there are no ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi body ). Proteins and other substances must be provided by the synthetic apparatus in the cell body and transported along the axon. The most plentiful proteins in the axon are the proteins forming the microtubules, neurofilaments and actin filaments ( microfilaments ).

A previous post, the Limits of Neuroscience, listed critical problems. Connections are made and pruned each day and one neuron can have 100,000 connections. There are many types of synapses, many types of neuroplasticity in wide networks, and many different types of postsynaptic densities (the complex structure in the post synaptic neuron with over 1000 large intersecting proteins.). A major complication is that neuronal circuits fire in a millisecond, while the same neuron can participate in a totally different circuit the next millisecond. Neurotransmitter types are not static, and subunits of receptors can change, as well. Electrical properties vary, as do myelin patterns. Most mapping projects do not count the astrocyte network, which is not only bigger than the neuronal circuits, but controls the production and maintenance of synapses. Also, neurons participate in multiple types of communication —synchronous brain waves, nanotubes, exosomes, and electrical synapses—not just axon dendrite connections. But, one of the biggest mysteries is the number neuron species and how to define them."

The three major parts of neurons are soma or the cell body, axon, and dendrites. Although axons and dendrites conduct nerve impulses, they differ in terms of structure, composition, function, and number. With these differences, axons and dendrites are able to maintain the efficient functioning of the nervous system. Axons and dendrites differ in terms of structure. The term dendrite is derived from the Greek dendron, which means tree. Microscopically, dendrites have a treelike appearance, are heavily branched, and have multiple boutons, terminal knobs, or synaptic knobs. These knobs give dendrites a rough appearance.

[ 3] [4] Some authors generalize the concept of the synapse to include the communication from a neuron to any other cell type, [5] such as to a motor cell, although such non-neuronal contacts may be referred to as junctions (a historically older term). Synapses are essential to neuronal function: neurons are cells that are specialized to pass signals to individual target cells, and synapses are the means by which they do so. At a synapse, the plasma membrane of the signal-passing neuron (the presynaptic neuron) comes into close apposition with the membrane of the target ( postsynaptic) cell. Both the presynaptic and postsynaptic sites contain extensive arrays of a molecular machinery that link the two membranes together and carry out the signaling process."

Numerous dendrons and dendrites provide a large surface area for connecting with other neurones, and carry nerve impulses towards the cell body. A single long axon carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body. The axon is only 10µm in diameter but can be up to 4m in length in a large animal (a piece of spaghetti the same shape would be 400m long)! Most neurones have many companion cells called Schwann cells, which wrap their cell membrane around the axon many times in a spiral to form a thick insulating lipid layer called the myelin sheath.

Operated by the Department of Human Services, Medicare is the primary funder of health care in Australia, funding primary health care for Australian citizens and permanent residents including Norfolk Island. Residents are entitled to subsidised treatment from medical practitioners, eligible midwives, nurse practitioners and allied health professionals who have been issued a Medicare provider number, and can also obtain free treatment in public hospitals. The plan was introduced in 1975 by the Whitlam Government as Medibank, and was limited to paying customers only in 1976 by the Fraser Government. Hawke reintroduced universal health care in 1984 as Medicare. Reciprocal Health Care Agreements (RHCA) are in place with the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Norway, Slovenia, Malta, Italy, Republic of Ireland and New Zealand, which entitle visitors from these countries to limited access to Medicare and entitles Australian residents to reciprocal rights while in one of these countries. [ 1]Since 1999, the public health plan has been supplemented by a Private Health Insurance Rebate, where the government funds up to 30% of any private health insurance premium covering people eligible for Medicare.

For example, institutional accreditation means all students attending Herzing University are attending an accredited institution. In addition, there are programmatic accreditation bodies which accredit specific programs (as opposed to the institution). Some states require that specific programs, even at regionally accredited institutions like Herzing University, be programmatically accredited as well. The importance of programmatic accreditation can range from a requirement to sit for licensure exams that are mandatory to work in a field to a requirement to sit for a certification exam that is not required for all employment in the field (but may be slightly to strongly preferred by employers, depending on the market) to a symbol of quality with no impact on any certification or licensure (but which may be slightly or strongly preferred by employers, depending on the market). Therefore, Herzing University has not pursued all forms of programmatic accreditation available, as this is a determination on whether the costs and requirements to do so are worth the value to the student in the respective marketplaces in the estimation of the University. The student should validate whether the specialized accreditation of a specific program, or lack thereof, is going to fit their career goals for their respective marketplace. As a result, there is a potential that some states will not permit a student who has completed certain academic programs to become certified, licensed, or sit for a certifying or licensing examination if they graduated from a program that is not programmatically accredited. Herzing University believes in complete and forthright disclosure for each program we offer, so we clearly identify those programs that are programmatically accredited. If a Herzing University program at a specific campus (or one that is offered online) does not state it has programmatic accreditation in writing, students should assume the program does not have programmatic accreditation."

Main article: Universal health care Universal health coverage is a broad concept that has been implemented in several ways. The common denominator for all such programs is some form of government action aimed at extending access to health care as widely as possible and setting minimum standards. Most implement universal health care through legislation, regulation and taxation. Legislation and regulation direct what care must be provided, to whom, and on what basis. Usually some costs are borne by the patient at the time of consumption but the bulk of costs come from a combination of compulsory insurance and tax revenues. Some programs are paid for entirely out of tax revenues. In others tax revenues are used either to fund insurance for the very poor or for those needing long term chronic care. In some cases, government involvement also includes directly managing the health care system, but many countries use mixed public-private systems to deliver universal health care."

A resident alien must report all interest, dividends, wages, or other compensation for services, income from rental property or royalties, and other types of income on the U. S. tax return. These amounts must be reported whether from sources within or outside the United States. Tax Rates Income of resident aliens is subject to the graduated tax rates that apply to U. S. citizens. Resident aliens use the Tax Table and Tax Rate Schedules which apply to U. S. citizens found in the instructions for Forms 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ. Filing Status Resident aliens can use the same filing statuses available to U. S. citizens. Claiming Exemptions Resident aliens can claim personal exemptions and exemptions for dependents according to the dependency rules for U. S. citizens. They can claim an exemption for their spouse on a separate return if the spouse had no gross income for U. S. tax purposes and was not the dependent of another taxpayer. They can claim this exemption even if the spouse has not been a resident alien for a full tax year or is an alien who has not come to the United States. They can claim an exemption for each person who qualifies as a dependent according to the rules for U. S. citizens."

"text": "\"Deducting Incontinence Supplies Someone asked the question if she could deduct on her taxes the cost of diapers used by her child with a disability. Great question! 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. They include the costs of equipment, supplies, and diagnostic devices needed for these purposes."

Employee-required contributions are approximately one-half of the total required WRS contribution. The state pays the other half.

Introduction1998 Census data, recently released by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA), suggests that state drug assistance programs may be bearing some medical costs for patients actually eligible for free or low-fee VA medical care. State programs have long been rightfully viewed as last resorts. Those eligible for medical care and drugs from other programs should use that coverage before turning to the state. Thus, medical care coverage available from the VA should—unless there are exceptional circumstances—be turned to before limited state monies are spent. But virtually all members of the public, many state officials and even most veterans themselves wrongly assume that one must be a combat or wartime veteran or have been injured or become sick on active duty to get VA medical care. As a result, some states don’t bother to screen at all for VA medical care eligibility. Or, just as worse, they ask veterans themselves whether they’re eligible for VA medical care. And—not surprisingly, since even veterans themselves don’t know the correct eligibility rules—few applicants indicate that they’re VA-eligible!To be eligible for VA medical care, a veteran must have served at least 180 days active duty and have an honorable or general discharge."

Withdrawals from the MSA are tax-free if used to pay for qualified medical expenses. The MSA must be coupled with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). Withdrawals from MSA go toward paying the deductible expenses in a given year. MSA account funds can cover expenses related to most forms of health care, disability, dental care, vision care, and long-term care, whether the expenses were billed through the qualifying insurance or otherwise. [ 1] [2]Once the plan deductible is met in a given year, the HDHP will pay any remaining covered medical expenses in that year. If there are funds remaining in the MSA at the end of the year, the funds can either roll over for the following year or can be withdrawn as taxable income. [ 3]MSAs are similar to health savings accounts (HSAs), which were established as part of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003. Contents [ hide ]1 History1.1 Purpose and advantages1.2 Sources1.2.1 Qualifications1.3 Future of the Archer MSA Program2 See also3 References4 External links History [ edit]The idea of the MSA appears to have come from health care analysts that were concerned about the problem of overinsurance.

"text": "Replacing Old Dental Crowns: Is it Necessary? According to Dr. Terry Donovan, who is the chairman of biomaterials at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry in Chapel Hill, the golden dental crowns do not need to be preventively replaced. As long as the dental crown is fitted perfectly, there should be no problems, and it is not necessary to replace them after 2 or 3 decades. Dental crowns should be fitted in such a way that there are no open margins available, and there should be no dental decay present around the margins. Even though you do not need to replace periodically or prophylactically the dental crowns, it is of high importance that you go to the dentist regularly. The is going to perform a dental examination, and he will also check if the dental crowns are not deteriorated in any way and if they don’t pose any danger to your oral or overall health. You need to understand that gold is not a corrosive material, so there is no problem from this point of view. However, the dental cement that is used to fuse the crown is dissolved by saliva after about 20 or 30 years. The big problem here is that as the dental cement dissolves, it allows the fluids that you consume to start seeping within those tiny gaps. This is how dental decay may easily occur."

By Modern Dental on April 17, 2015 in Dental Facts, Root Canal I found a few interesting facts for you: According to the American Association of Endodontics, more than 15 million root canals are performed each year in the U. S. AAE research shows that patients who have experienced root canal treatment are six times more likely to describe it as “painless” than patients who have not had root canal treatment. Why is a root canal such a dreaded procedure? The truth is, the thing that causes the actual pain is the infection within the root of the tooth. The root canal is just the procedure that eliminates the pain and actually saves the tooth. The Journey Towards a Root Canal It starts out innocent enough. A small spot of bacteria goes unchecked and makes itself at home on the enamel of the tooth. The decay deepens over time and digs further into the tooth and finally enters the root of the tooth. This can be very painful. What started out as a simple cavity is now in need of a root canal."

Indeed, many people are surprised to learn that Medicare does NOT cover routine dental care. During our working years, we often have access to dental insurance coverage through our employer’s group health insurance plans. On those plans, we get benefits to cover the cost of our teeth cleanings and annual x-rays. We often also have coverage for more expensive things like crowns or root canals. Medicare does not pay for anything related to keeping your teeth healthy, such as checkups or fillings. It also does not cover things like extractions or dentures in most cases. What you and I think of as “dental care” are things that Medicare considers “not medically necessary."

A pulpotomy is when the inflamed pulp chamber, usually on a baby molar, is removed, the area is sterilized, and the chamber is sealed. It is sometimes called a baby tooth root canal, but it's not really a root canal and it can be done is some cases in permanent teeth. It is a very common procedure in children and has a reasonably good prognosis of success. It's also fairly easy to do in conjunction with associated procedures. When a cavity gets really deep, close to the pulp of a tooth or even into the pulp, the pulpal tissue becomes irritated and inflamed. This is usually the \"\"tooth ache\"\" you feel. If the inflammation and infection continues without treatment, the tooth will likely eventually abscess. In baby molars, a pulpotomy is used in the process of trying to save and restore the tooth. First, the decay is removed, and then the pulp chamber (the top part, not the root canals) is removed usually with a high-speed bur or spoon excavator."

In the practice of pediatric dentistry, it often becomes necessary to repair and restore (returning a tooth to its original shape, function, and, often times, appearance) heavily decayed primary teeth (baby teeth with large cavities or structural issues) with the use of dental crowns. In the following article, we will address the following frequently-asked questions regarding crowns in primary teeth: What is a dental crown “cap” and when are crowns necessary in primary (baby) teeth? Which types of crowns are available for the repair of primary teeth? What are the steps of restoring primary teeth with a crown? What should I expect after my child’s dental crown procedure? What is a crown, and when are they necessary in primary teeth? A dental crown is a tooth-shaped covering cemented to the tooth for the purpose of restoring the tooth to its original shape and function. Crowns are used in pediatric dentistry for various reasons.

"text": "Is full coverage dental insurance the perfect dental insurance? Posted by Dr. Thomas Anderson on Tue, Apr 08, 2014 @ 03:02 PMTweet Are you one of the lucky ones to have full coverage dental insurance? Gone are the days of employers being able to offer such great benefits to all their employers, but there are still some out there. These full coverage dental insurance plans are offered by Cigna Dental, Met Life Dental and Guardian to name just a few. With a calendar or policy year maximum payable benefits of anywhere from $1500-$5000, and 100% coverage for all services, these are the coveted dental plans. However, you are not always able to pick the plan you want. You are given the choice to either have dental insurance or not, and then you may not find out what your actual insurance plan will cover until you go to your dentist. We have heard so often that our patients were not aware they had a waiting period or only had $500 worth of benefits per year or that their crown they knew they needed would only be covered at 50%. The typical dental plan we see most often includes:$1000-$1500 calendar year maximum benefits$50 annual deductible per person100% coverage for exams (office visit), radiographs (x-rays), prophylaxis (cleanings) which are normally covered twice a year or every six months (less often for x-rays)80% coverage for fillings, endodontic treatment (root canals), scaling and root planning (deep cleanings) and basic oral surgery (tooth extractions)50% coverage for onlays, crowns, bridges, partial dentures and full dentures, implants Now, every plan has certain exclusions or restrictions that can affect the actual payment; for example, waiting periods or a missing tooth clause (pre-existing condition) or sometimes frequency limitations. We call for all of our patients to find out this information and to be able to give you the most accurate estimation of your copay."

"text": "How to Recover a Swallowed Dental Crown Leave a reply Dental crowns are not only necessary for a beautiful smile, if they are on a back tooth they provide a surface with which to chew food. Dental crowns are expensive. There are two types of crowns, temporary and permanent. Dental patients more often tend to swallow a temporary crown, since the adhesive used to hold it in place is more likely to fail and the crown may be dislodged while chewing a mouthful of food and swallowed before you know it’s missing. Less frequently, this happens with permanent crowns but when it does, you can recover the crown and have it reattached. Dental crowns or restorations may be inhaled or swallowed by the patient during chewing food, sleeping, laughing or yawning or may be during some accident. Patient should be told not to get panic and stay calm if he/she has swallowed a dental crown. Inhaled crown seen on chest x ray Inhaled crown may cause coughing, dysphagia or pain. Prosthesis may get lodged in the tonsils or pharynx and may cause infection. If there is any complication due to swallowing of dental crown, then an ENT specialist may also be consulted."

Ryan Kazemi along with a team of skilled and knowledgeable restorative dentists offer solutions to various dental implant complications. The most common complications are inflammation or infection of the implant, bone or gum tissue loss, aesthetic issues, and functional problems. In Dr. Kazemi’s ebook, ‘The Painful Dental Implant’ he reviews such complications and how they can be best managed. Download 'The Painful Dental Implant'Dental Implant-Related Complications Mal-positioned dental implants: Dental implants that are poorly positioned create a number of problems. These include difficulty making the restorations, cosmetic problems, hygiene problems, chewing issues, and longevity. To have long term success, dental implants must be positioned precisely with proper axis, depth, and angle determined by the restoration itself. Solution: If the implant is slightly off axis, then the restorative dentist can correct the angulation with a customized abutment and crown. If the implant is significantly off axis and simply difficult or impossible to restore, then the implant can be removed and replaced later once the site has healed. The implant can be removed a-traumatically and easily using special tools and techniques."

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

"text": "Our top priority is the best in quality dental care, but we also pride ourselves on giving real value for your medical expenses.— Dr. Robert L. Harrell, DDSWhen people begin to investigate the possible options for replacing their missing teeth, they quickly realize that dental implants are far and away the best solution. An implant restores the look and very nearly the full function of a missing tooth. It’s almost like replacing a real tooth with another real tooth. No other restoration method even comes close to providing the same result. Once it is clear that an implant is the way to go, the process shifts from aesthetics to economics for most people. The pertinent question, of course, being, “How much do dental implants cost?”The simple answer is more than other methods of tooth replacement (which include crowns and bridges, partials and full dentures). The reason is because those techniques don’t work anywhere near as well as implants. These days, replacing a missing tooth is a basic case of you get what you pay for. If you opt for a traditional crown and bridge, you are accepting its limitations in strength and durability."

Shouldn't I just shop around to find the best price and go there?- The old saying, \"\"You get what you pay for...\"\" and \"\"If it sounds too good to be true, it is...\"\" are applicable here. Among other things, the cost to do a crown is based on the skill level of the practitioner, the quality of his/her equipment/technology, and the quality of the materials used. In essence, crowning or replacing a tooth is replacing a part of your body. As such, care and consideration of these factors are very important. Please consider: SKILL - The skill level and experience of the dentist is paramount. Bad dentistry can lead to future problems. Does this dentist stay abreast of the latest dental technologies/techniques and use only the best materials? POORLY SHAPED CROWNS - can cause food traps that then lead to further decay and gum inflammation or gum disease. Poorly shaped crowns can also alter your bite limiting your chewing ability and/or causing you to bite unevenly, thereby adding undo pressure to surrounding teeth and overtime, damaging them."

To evaluate each tooth individually on its own merit, complete immobilization is necessary. Two person charting is the fastest and most efficient. One person examines the mouth and the other records information on the chart. The examiner begins by saying \"\"one hundred series\"\" and then says \"\"101\"\" which is the maxillary right central incisor, notes any abnormalities then moves distally until the right maxillary quadrant is completed. The right mandibular quadrant (four hundred series) follows, then the animal’s head is rotated for the two and three hundred series."

"text": "Tell Me More about Dental Crowns There are millions of people across the United States and globally who have had a dental crown to replace a missing tooth or strengthen a weakened tooth. A dental crown is a dental material that is applied over the crown of the tooth to provide it with protection and support. Types of Dental Crown Materials There are four different types of materials used for dental crowns: All ceramic (porcelain-based). Porcelain fused to metal. Gold alloys. Base metal alloys. All ceramic crowns are a porcelain-based filling material and recommended for restoring front teeth due to color blending with the natural teeth. The dentist or prosthodontist may need to remove more tooth structure to attach the porcelain to the tooth; however, the material may be brittle under heavy biting and can be highly resistant to wear. Porcelain fused to metal is connected to the outside of a metal structure to provide strength to the teeth as well as provide a good seal to prevent leakage and decrease recurrent dental decay. When porcelain is fused to metal, it provides a stronger restoration than porcelain alone."

"text": "\"Tweet Why Would I Need a Dental Crown? Crowns may be needed for the following: Caries (tooth decay)If a tooth has a very large amount of decay, then a crown or an inlay/onlay becomes a more dependable long-term solution compared to just having a tooth filling. There are limitations with any large filling packed into a tooth by the dentist. If the material is amalgam it will expand slightly as it sets and if it is composite it will shrink slightly. The larger the filling the bigger this effect and the less likely the filling is to last long term. It is also more difficult to recreate the form and contacts of the tooth, when most of it has been destroyed. A crown can help to protect the remaining weakened tooth structure underneath. A filling will need to be carried out anyway, if the tooth is to have a crown. It is this tooth/filling combination which will be filed down to form the core on which the crown sits. An inlay/onlay is an alternative solution, which like the crown is made in the lab and is bonded in passively, i.e. made to measure so it puts no force on the remaining tooth."

Implant dentistry remains by far the best method to replace missing teeth, because implants give you permanent results that far outweigh the other dental alternative such as dental bridges or removable dentures. But this superiority has a price as you will find out in this complete guide regarding tooth implant cost per tooth and for full mouth. Contents1 Dental implant cost : what is the average cost of dental implants?2 The 6 Factors that influence Dental Implants Cost2.1 The 1st factor: dental implant material quality2.2 The 2nd factor: the kind of teeth to be replaced2.3 The 3rd factor: your dentist or dental surgeon expertise, experience, popularity2.4 The 4th factor: Your dentist location2.5 The 5th factor: Additional professionals involved2.6 The 6th factor: What most people forget… leading to bad surprises3 Insurance coverage of Dental Implants: check the 4 fine print limits.4 Dental Implants prices by country Dental implant cost : what is the average cost of dental implants? Please note the prices indicated from our research may differ from those of your chosen dental specialist based on many factors ( usually regarding the upper range…. ), however, you will have a pretty good idea of the necessary budget for dental implants. Single tooth implant cost In order to understand the cost of implants below, you need to remember each implant is composed of 3 elements: the implant, the abutment and the crown. ( check here our 101 guide on implants if necessary)Dental implant = implant + abutment + crown3 parts for a dental implant So, any price you get is usually the total amount of those 3 parts. A single dental implant will cost you anywhere between $ 1 500 up to $ 6 700 ! Of course, the dental implants cost per tooth depends on many factors such as the nature of the missing tooth: front tooth implant cost is usually higher than the cost of a back tooth implant because front teeth are often trickier to restore due to the small space involved , and because the abutment ( what connect the implant to the crown) for these front teeth is usually more expensive than the standard sized and angled abutments from the implant company."

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.

You can if you itemize and the total expenses for you, your spouse, and your dependents exceed 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. The deduction is limited to the expenses above and beyond this amount. For example, if you're 48 years old with an AGI of $50,000 and you incurred $4,750 in medical and dental expenses last year, you could deduct $1,000 (the amount in excess of 7.5% of your AGI, or $3,750), assuming you're itemizing. You won't be able to deduct your expenses on your federal return if you're taking the standard deduction, which about 2/3 of all taxpayers do. However, don't let that stop you from entering all your medical-, dental-, and vision-related expenses anyway.

What is a Limited-Purpose FSA? The LPFSA is a flexible spending account that can be used only for eligible vision and dental expenses. Unlike a regular FSA, though, an LPFSA can be held at the same time as a HSA. By not using HSA funds for dental and vision expenses, there’s more available to spend on regular medical expenses. More importantly, you may also get to keep more in your HSA as unused savings, which can help your retirement nest egg grow larger over time. Who is Eligible for a Limited-Purpose FSA?

"text": "\"Healthgenius Dental insurance vs dental discount plans comparedby Chris Walters August 19th, 2014Over the past decade, one in four Americans put off seeing a dentist for necessary treatment because they couldn't afford it. The reason the number is so high won't surprise anyone who's had to pay a dental bill lately. Dental fees rose by 20% during that time, even while wages flatlined and dental insurers grew stingy with coverage. And while the rollout of the Affordable Care Act has made it theoretically easier to shop for dental insurance, it doesn't mean that a plan you find on a state marketplace is any better than what's for sale elsewhere. Which may lead you to wonder whether dental insurance is even worth the trouble. Can it actually save you money on dental care? Or does it make more financial sense to join one of the dental discount plans that have become so popular in recent years? ( A dental discount plan is like a membership program - you pay an annual fee to join and you get access to discounted services at participating dentists). To help answer these questions, we compared five dental insurance and dental discount plans to see how much they'd save us in a handful of year-long hypothetical scenarios. The quick takeaway on dental insurance vs dental discount plans It's difficult to make a universal recommendation because of how greatly costs can differ depending on where you live, and because each state's insurance exchange will offer different adult dental plans (or even none at all, in which case you can shop in the open market)."

Dental insurance can help lower your out-of-pocket expenses so you and your family can maintain healthy smiles—and better overall health, too. How does it work? When you sign up for dental insurance through work, you can take advantage of group rates that are often more affordable than the rates you would face if you were to purchase insurance on your own. Coverage may also be available for your spouse and dependents, so you can keep your family healthy. Most dental plans give you access to a Participating Provider Organization (PPO) network, 1 which negotiates discounted rates with the dentists in the network for nearly every procedure covered by your dental insurance. This means that you have fewer out-of-pocket expenses when you visit an in-network dentist. What’s covered? Depending on your dental insurance policy, your plan can cover expenses ranging from preventive procedures such as cleanings, X-rays, and exams, to major procedures like bridges, dentures, and crowns, as well as orthodontics (braces).

"text": "American Dental Association Administration There are generally three phases to getting an implant: First, the dentist surgically places the implant into the jawbone. Your dentist may recommend a diet of soft foods, cold foods and warm soup during the healing process. Next, the bone around the implant heals in a process called osseointegration. What makes an implant so strong is that the bone actually grows around it and holds it in place. Osseointegration means “combines with the bone” and takes time. Some patients might need to wait until the implant is completely integrated, up to several months, before replacement teeth can be attached to the implant. Other patients can have the implants and replacement teeth placed all in one visit. Finally, it’s time for the placement of the artificial tooth/teeth. For a single tooth implant, your dentist will customize a new tooth for you, called a dental crown. The crown will be based on size, shape, color and fit, and will be designed to blend in with your other teeth."

Food debris and bacteria in the mouth can also cause plaque to accumulate on your teeth, leading to gum disease and cavities. Brushing after meals removes food debris and helps prevent plaque from forming on the teeth. The American Dental Association recommends brushing your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled brush. The size and shape of your brush should fit your mouth, allowing you to reach all areas easily. Use a toothpaste that contains fluoride, which helps protect your teeth from decay. Replace your toothbrush every three or four months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. A worn toothbrush won’t do a good job of cleaning your teeth.

A small titanium post is surgically implanted in the jawbone, and as part of the healing process it bonds with the bone. A metal abutment is connected to the implant, and then a crown, bridge or denture is attached to the abutment. The work is typically done in stages, often with separate prices for the implant surgery, the abutment placement and the replacement tooth or teeth. There may also be a charge for a temporary \"\"flipper\"\" tooth while the jaw heals after surgery.

"text": "\"How Long Will the Dental Implant Bridge Last? Sara28Poughkeepsie, New York When I was 14, I had a bike accident and knocked out my two front teeth, and chipped a tooth next to one of my front teeth. I had to get two false teeth and they were built into a bridge and and fastened onto the teeth, next to my front teeth that remained. I believe they were veneers. How long will this last?teethchipped tooth Answers ( 10 )Life Expectancy of an Implant Supported Bridge Dear Sara, It sounds like you lost your 2 front teeth and that the teeth were replaced with a conventional bridge supported by the two adjacent teeth. Depending on the specific circumstances, this bridge can last a few year, (for example, if you are not careful with oral hygiene, the supporting teeth can decay and cause the bridge to fail) or the bridge can last you over thirty years (if your hygiene is good and you are careful not to bite into extremely hard objects such as a fork). However, in my practice of Prosthodontics where I do not commonly see 14 year old patients, I find that very often, bridges that are placed at an early age become unaesthetic or unsightly because of the bone and gum changes around the supporting teeth due to normal growth that continues into early adulthood. If you are contemplating a new bridge, then you should definitely discuss the options with your dentist of a new conventional bridge vs. two implant crowns. I need to advise you that if the implants are not properly placed or the implant crowns are not properly designed, then you could potentially get an unsatisfactory result with impant supported crowns. For the best outcome, select your impant surgeon and restorative dentist (Prosthodontist or general dentist) team carefully."

These implants mimic the look and feel of real teeth that no one would be able to make the difference. If youve lost your tooth or teeth, you can regain confidence by getting dental implants. However, getting dental implants is not for everyone, particularly because of its generally expensive price. Implants can take a long time and requires several visits to the dentist to complete the various stages of the surgery. The materials used are also pricey. Those who want the surgery but dont have enough cash for it may be on the search for low cost dental implants. Instead of looking for dentists who offer the most affordable dental implant package, what you should be looking for are financing for any dental implant package offered.

When called upon by to replace a missing tooth on a patient who has an abhorrence to a removable prosthesis, dentists have historically only had a few options: fixed partial dentures (bridges) and implants. Both present considerable advantages over no treatment (tx), yet necessarily imply considerable commitment on the part of the patient. First, a willingness to allow relatively extensive treatment is necessary. Even the most conservative bonded modalities require impressions and a laboratory phase, also provisionalization or a willingness to “go without” while the prosthesis is fabricated; more conventional bridges and implant dentistry sometimes even requiring preliminary analyses, pre-prosthetic surgical tx, wax-ups, and/or try-ins in addition to impressions and some time.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This X-ray film displays two lone-standing teeth, #21 and #22, as the remnants of a once full complement of 16 lower teeth. This case of partial edentulism is the result of periodontal disease, as is suggested by the substantial bone loss around the two remaining teeth. Edentulism or toothlessness [1] [2] [3] is the condition of being toothless to at least some degree; in organisms (such as humans) that naturally have teeth ( dentition ), it is the result of tooth loss. Loss of some teeth is called partial edentulism, whereas loss of all teeth is called complete edentulism. Persons who have lost teeth are (either partially or completely) edentulous ( edentate ), whereas those who have not lost teeth can be called dentate by comparison. For example, a scientific study may include a partially edentulous group and a healthy dentate control group. Organisms that never possessed teeth can also be described as edentulous, such as members of the former zoological classification order of Edentata, which included anteaters and sloths, all of which possess no anterior teeth and either no or poorly developed posterior teeth. In naturally dentate species, edentulism is more than just the simple presence or absence of teeth; it is biochemically complex, because the teeth, jaws, and oral mucosa are not static objects; they are dynamic (changing over time). Processes such as bone remodeling (loss and gain of bone tissue) in the jaws and inflammation of soft tissue in response to the oral microbiota are clinically important for edentulous people. For example, bone resorption in the jaw is frequently how the teeth were able to detach in the first place; the jaw in an edentulous area undergoes further resorption even after the teeth are gone; and insertion of dental implants can elicit new bone formation, leading to osseointegration."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Dental implant A dental implant with a crown attached used for a single tooth replacement ICD-9-CM 23.5 - 23.6Me SH D003757 [ edit on Wikidata]A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. The basis for modern dental implants is a biologic process called osseointegration, in which materials such as titanium form an intimate bond to bone. The implant fixture is first placed so that it is likely to osseointegrate, then a dental prosthetic is added. A variable amount of healing time is required for osseointegration before either the dental prosthetic (a tooth, bridge or denture) is attached to the implant or an abutment is placed which will hold a dental prosthetic. Success or failure of implants depends on the health of the person receiving the treatment, drugs which affect the chances of osseointegration, and the health of the tissues in the mouth. The amount of stress that will be put on the implant and fixture during normal function is also evaluated. Planning the position and number of implants is key to the long-term health of the prosthetic since biomechanical forces created during chewing can be significant. The position of implants is determined by the position and angle of adjacent teeth, by lab simulations or by using computed tomography with CAD/CAM simulations and surgical guides called stents. The prerequisites for long-term success of osseointegrated dental implants are healthy bone and gingiva. Since both can atrophy after tooth extraction, pre-prosthetic procedures such as sinus lifts or gingival grafts are sometimes required to recreate ideal bone and gingiva."

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants can be placed in either the upper or lower jaws. Due to the biocompatible properties of titanium, a dental implant fuses with the bone and becomes a good anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can be used in solutions for replacing single or multiple missing teeth. Why dental implants? There are a number of reasons why you should consider a dental implant: Without the root structure of a natural tooth present, the jawbone can shrink. This shrinkage will make your face look older than it is. There are no loose parts to worry about losing. The dental implant is stable and comfortable."

Mind you, the emphasis isn’t on root canals themselves, because Dr. Mercola acknowledges that root canals save teeth. His concern is more with whole-body health. He cites the research of a 20th-Century dentist Dr. Weston Price (and more contemporary research as well) to show a strong correlation between root canals and a range of chronic, inflammatory diseases and cancers. More specifically, these diseases range from heart, kidney, joint, neurological and autoimmune diseases to breast cancer. The culprit in many cases is explained as toxins produced by bacteria entombed in the tooth and in the tissues surrounding the tooth. These toxins can then inhibit and sometimes “short-circuit” the immune system, resulting in either too much, not enough, or mis-applied inflammation. The Crux: Disinfection What? Bacteria entombed in the tooth? Dentinal Tubules Dentists are taught to do root canals by soaking the canals in good ol’e fashioned bleach."

What’s worse, you may not be able to detect these until years later. How do these health risks make their way to your body? The answer lies in the way the procedure is carried out. In root canals, the dentist hollows out the tooth in question, then fills the empty chamber with a tough, plastic substance called gutta-percha, which comes from the latex of trees. It resembles rubber and is used for insulation and other dental procedures."

Please read the following information. If you have natural teeth, partial dentures, complete dentures or implants, this information will be helpful for you. If you find that you have additional questions, please ask them! We look forward to adding your questions to the following. Why is professional recare important? Preventing disease is an important part of dental service, perhaps the most important. With good care, your teeth may last you a lifetime; however, without regular recare by your dentist or preventive disease specialist (a hygienist-dentist-expanded duty dental assistant), you are taking chances with your dental health. At preventive disease appointments, an examination is performed which can find dental disease that may have started or is occurring in your mouth. Early treatment of the disease is most often inexpensive and painless."

Vetter, in Encyclopedia of Food Sciences and Nutrition (Second Edition), 2003Monocalcium Phosphates Monocalcium phosphate leavening acids are available in two forms: the monohydrate (MCP) and the anhydrous product (AMCP). The monohydrate is fast-acting, although slightly slower than cream of tartar. It is usually used in combination with slower-acting leavening agents. MCP will release leavening gas from baking soda during mixing, which is desirable in achieving a fine, uniform grain in the baked product as long as a slower-acting leavener is present to provide leavening gas during baking. AMCP is coated with a slowly dissolving phosphate material that delays its reaction with baking soda. This delay is relatively short, but sufficient for some products that are baked in the home. These products include biscuits, pancakes, and waffles. Read full chapter Safety Assessment including Current and Emerging Issues in Toxicologic Pathology Matthew A. Wallig 1, Kevin P. Keenan 2, in Haschek and Rousseaux's Handbook of Toxicologic Pathology (Third Edition), 2013Excess Fluoride can be acutely toxic although this is rarely reported. Most acute toxicoses occur after ingestion of well water containing excessively high concentrations of fluoride, foraging on plants fertilized with superphosphate fertilizers contaminated with fluoride, or from deposition of fluoride-containing dust downwind from smelters."

But is it a wise one? Dr. Robert Kulacz, a dentist, has spent a significant portion of his professional career trying to answer this question. What he discovered profoundly changed his life, and led him to write a book about his findings called, The Toxic Tooth: How a Root Canal Could Be Making You Sick, which I think is among the best available on this subject. Dr. Kulacz began practicing dentistry in Brewster, New York. After six years as an associate, he opened his own practice in Somers, New York in 1992, where he performed all the conventional procedures of dentistry, from restorations to extractions and root canals. \"\" I did a lot of root canals for many years,\"\" he says. \"\""

"text": "The Health Risks of Titaniumby Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFMLast Updated on September 10, 2013Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust. This abundance and its status as a corrosion resistant, strong metal have landed it many industrial applications where its best features can be fully taken advantage of. Some uses include airplane motors, jewelry, and heat exchange systems. Because titanium itself is non-toxic and not rejected by the body, the medical industry has embraced it for implants such as hip and joint replacements. Despite the upsides, much concern has been expressed about the use of titanium compounds as a food and cosmetic additive. How Does Titanium Exposure Happen? Exposure to titanium often happens by way of titanium compounds that are added to cosmetics, sunscreens, paints, and food. Titanium dioxide nano particles is usually the compound in question and safety concerns have been expressed. Unfortunately, you don’t have a choice in whether or not you’re exposed. Even if you avoid products that contain titanium dioxide nano particles, the other nano particles that everyone else uses will be excreted or washed away into the sewage system and into the environment."

An alternative to bridges, partials or complete dentures may be dental implants. Implants are used to replace missing roots and support artificial replacement teeth. They are comfortable and look like natural teeth. What is an Dental Implants? The Dental Implants therapy consists of the installation of artificial dental root (fixture) and the connection of dental crown, the tooth head, to the root. The implant has a similar structure to that of the original tooth, therefore, it is called as ‘the second permanent tooth’. However, the bridge requires cutting the intact adjacent teeth, and also gives a burden to the teeth. Although the implant therapy requires longer period than that of the bridge, it gives you ‘semi-permanent’ teeth by the best method concerning the teeth health.

"text": "Let’s Talk Dental Fillings: Procedure and Costs On this page: Consultation | Procedure | Recovery & aftercare | Cost | Porcelain or Composite? A dental filling is a type of restorative dentistry treatment used to repair minimal tooth fractures, tooth decay or otherwise damaged surfaces of the teeth. Filling materials, which include composite, porcelain and silver amalgam, may be used to even out tooth surfaces for better biting or chewing. Enamel loss is a common component of tooth decay, and may result in tooth sensitivity. In many cases, sensitivity caused by enamel loss will be significantly improved or completely eliminated once an appropriate dental filling material is placed. But in some cases, depending on the extent of tooth decay or damage, the affected tooth may require additional or alternative procedures, including: Dental Crowns: Teeth requiring more support than offered by a traditional filling may require a dental crown. Dental Implants and Dental Bridges: Irreparable tooth damage requiring tooth extraction may require an implant or bridge. Root Canals (perhaps along with antibiotic treatment): Infected, abscessed or nerve damaged teeth may require a root canal procedure. Consultation and Treatment Planning One of the more common oral health issues discovered during scheduled cleanings is decay. Your dentist will examine suspect teeth using a dental probe and caries detecting liquid, as well as take an X-ray to determine the extent and exact location of the cavity and decay."

"text": "Metal vs. Non-Metal Implants: If you have lost a tooth because of periodontal disease, injury or some other reason, your holistic dentist in Seattle will likely recommend a dental implant. A dental implant is essentially an artificial root that will hold a fake tooth – or bridge – in place to give you a natural-looking, radiant smile. Most dental implants are typically made of dental-grade titanium, however there are also other, non-metal options available. Below are some of the considerations for both. What should I know about titanium dental implants? A titanium dental implant is similar in size and shape to a small screw, which is then inserted into your jaw. As the dental implant heals, your gums and bones will begin to fuse with the implant. Titanium implants were approved by the United States FDA in the 1980s, however since then, multiple concerns have arisen about having metal in your mouth on an ongoing basis. It’s estimated that 4% of Americans have titanium sensitivity, potentially leading to allergic reactions or other biochemical disruptions in the human body.

Why do you sometimes get a metallic or metal taste in your mouth? Our mouth, like the rest of our body, was designed to allow electrical impulses or signals to be transmitted along nerve pathways and to facilitate energy or chemical reactions inside cells and between cells. All this is part of the magic of life. Electricity or electrical signals are essential to all biological process es. In our body, electrical signals are carried through the nervous system, moving information to and from the brain. Electrical signals communicate to our brain what the eyes see, what the ears hear, what the fingers feel, and what our tongue tastes. Electrical signals from our brain causes our muscle movements. Electrical signals cause each heartbeat. The flow of electrical energy depends on a cellular liquid environment, filled with dissolved electrolytes and enzymes."

It was an interview with Dr. George Meinig, who was dentist and leader in teaching people about the dangers of root canals. He wrote the book Root Canal Cover Up. Because I first became aware of this information in the early '90s I was able to avoid having any root canals. I elected to have three teeth extracted and now have two bridges to replace those teeth. At the time, that was my best option, as I believe that metal implants should be avoided. However in the last few years non-reactive metal implants made from zirconium have become available and that is what I would use now if I had to have an alternative to a root canal. Why I Encourage You to Think Twice Before Getting a Root Canal Please don't let your dentist mislead you that a root canal is your only option, or that it is entirely safe. Teeth are similar to other organ systems in your body in that they also require a blood supply, lymphatic, and venous drainage, and nervous innervations. Root canals, however, are dead teeth, and these dead teeth typically become one of, if not the worst, sources of chronic bacterial toxicity in your body."

"text": "\"Healthgenius Dental insurance vs dental discount plans comparedby Chris Walters August 19th, 2014Over the past decade, one in four Americans put off seeing a dentist for necessary treatment because they couldn't afford it. The reason the number is so high won't surprise anyone who's had to pay a dental bill lately. Dental fees rose by 20% during that time, even while wages flatlined and dental insurers grew stingy with coverage. And while the rollout of the Affordable Care Act has made it theoretically easier to shop for dental insurance, it doesn't mean that a plan you find on a state marketplace is any better than what's for sale elsewhere. Which may lead you to wonder whether dental insurance is even worth the trouble. Can it actually save you money on dental care? Or does it make more financial sense to join one of the dental discount plans that have become so popular in recent years? ( A dental discount plan is like a membership program - you pay an annual fee to join and you get access to discounted services at participating dentists). To help answer these questions, we compared five dental insurance and dental discount plans to see how much they'd save us in a handful of year-long hypothetical scenarios. The quick takeaway on dental insurance vs dental discount plans It's difficult to make a universal recommendation because of how greatly costs can differ depending on where you live, and because each state's insurance exchange will offer different adult dental plans (or even none at all, in which case you can shop in the open market)."

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

Gone are the days of employers being able to offer such great benefits to all their employers, but there are still some out there. These full coverage dental insurance plans are offered by Cigna Dental, Met Life Dental and Guardian to name just a few. With a calendar or policy year maximum payable benefits of anywhere from $1500-$5000, and 100% coverage for all services, these are the coveted dental plans. However, you are not always able to pick the plan you want. You are given the choice to either have dental insurance or not, and then you may not find out what your actual insurance plan will cover until you go to your dentist. We have heard so often that our patients were not aware they had a waiting period or only had $500 worth of benefits per year or that their crown they knew they needed would only be covered at 50%. The typical dental plan we see most often includes:$1000-$1500 calendar year maximum benefits$50 annual deductible per person100% coverage for exams (office visit), radiographs (x-rays), prophylaxis (cleanings) which are normally covered twice a year or every six months (less often for x-rays)80% coverage for fillings, endodontic treatment (root canals), scaling and root planning (deep cleanings) and basic oral surgery (tooth extractions)50% coverage for onlays, crowns, bridges, partial dentures and full dentures, implants Now, every plan has certain exclusions or restrictions that can affect the actual payment; for example, waiting periods or a missing tooth clause (pre-existing condition) or sometimes frequency limitations. We call for all of our patients to find out this information and to be able to give you the most accurate estimation of your copay."

"text": "Average Cost of Dental Bridge Home / Crowns & Bridges / Blog74201Dental bridges are available in three different types and the cost for these vary based on the number of missing teeth you have. There is the traditional fixed bridge, in which the area between two crowns left due to missing tooth is filled to finish the gap. The resin bonded dental bridge is used for front teeth and is less expensive as it does not have large fillings. The third kind is the cantilever bridge which is used when there are teeth missing only on one side. Now, if you are to consider the cost of the dental bridges they depend on several factors. These factors are how many teeth are missing and from which region of the mouth and what type of bridge will be best suited for it. On the whole a dental bridge will usually cost one in the range of $ 500 to $900 per tooth. Dental insurance usually agrees to pay for half of the cost of the bridge. This rate is for the cost per tooth in the bridge and does not include any other incidental charges such as anchoring of the crown to support it on either side of the bridge. If you were to opt for the Maryland dental bridge then it will cost you in the range of $ 250 to $550 for each attaching wing and $600 to $ 1200 for each false tooth."

A: Quick Answer Because veneers are typically considered a cosmetic procedure, most insurance plans don't cover them, according to Lumineers; however, because every dental plan is different, patients must check with their particular insurance providers to determine if they are covered. Costing between $800 and $2000 per tooth, dental veneers are a substantial investment, especially when several teeth are needed. Financing is often available to help assist with the cost of veneers. Continue Reading Keep Learning Can You Get Financing for Dental Procedures? Does Dental Insurance Cover Implants? Is Deltacare a Dental Insurance Company? Credit: Daniel Zgombic E+ Getty Images Full Answer Once veneers are placed, it is not possible to revert back to the original teeth, and for this reason, replacement veneers are generally covered by insurance, according to the Premier Dental Center. Because the teeth are filed and shaped to fit into the veneers, replacing them is no longer considered cosmetic but instead a necessary procedure. According to Legacy Dental, veneers typically last for 10 to 20 years when cared for properly."

"text": "Diastema • Gapped Teeth • Gap Between Front Teeth What is diastema? A diastema is a distinctive gap between teeth. The term diastema or gapped teeth is used most often for describing a gap between the two upper front teeth (incisors). The condition is very common in children at the early stages of dental development. About 50% of children between the ages of 6 and 8 have gapped teeth, but in most children the gap closes naturally after the eruption of the permanent teeth. If the diastema remains after the permanent incisors and canine teeth have erupted, it is possible that the gap will not close of its own. An orthodontic consultation is advisable in these cases. Causes of diastema and gapped teeth Apart from natural teeth development there are some other factors that can contribute to the development of a diastema or gapped teeth: Size mismatch between teeth and jaws. Small sized teeth or a large jaw create extra space available for teeth, which could move apart from each other causing gapped teeth. Missing teeth can also cause a diastema for the same reason."

This technique is best used with patients who have spacing in their smile and only minor tooth rotations. Most cosmetic dentists employ conservative bonding techniques in which they only remove enough surface enamel to allow a ceramist to make life-like teeth for patients. Often Lumineers do not require the dentist to grind, cut or file down any tooth structure for proper placement. The veneers are adhesively bonded to the \"\"facial (front) surface\"\" of the teeth, making the process as much of a minimally invasive procedure as possible. Lumineers vs. Traditional Veneers Traditional veneers and their thick nature require the grinding down of your original tooth structure. This can be a painful, anxious experience that many patients would prefer to avoid. Lumineers are unique in that they are ultra-thin (approximately 0.2 mm) and highly translucent, allowing them to replicate the natural appearance of enamel. Lumineers are so thin they require little to no tooth reduction and no shots. Once the procedure is completed, there is no tooth sensitivity or placement discomfort, so they look and feel natural from the moment they are placed."

Written by James Hirby and Fact Checked by The Law Dictionary Staff If you don't carry dental insurance, your implants are likely to be surprisingly expensive. Most dental implants must be carefully molded to their wearers' mouths and may require additional fittings or adjustments. Also known as veneers, dental implants can cost between $1,000 and $3,000 on the open market. If you receive your implants from a highly-priced specialist or experience problems or complications with the devices, your final costs may well surpass $5,000. To avoid spending a significant chunk of your annual income on your dental needs, you should shop around for an affordable insurance plan or utilize one of the plans for which you're already eligible. If you qualify for Medicare or military insurance, you may be able to reduce the cost of your implants by a significant margin. Before you begin looking for implants, you'll need to ensure that you have proper insurance coverage. If you're over the age of 65, you may qualify for Medicare's dental benefits.

Plus, dental bonding is sometimes covered by insurance. What Is Dental Bonding? Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure in which a tooth-colored composite material is applied to a tooth, sculpted into shape, hardened, and polished. It’s called bonding because the material bonds to the tooth. Dental bonding is ideal for small cosmetic dentistry work, such as fixing a broken or chipped tooth or closing small gaps between teeth.

The sources of our information are the expert cosmetic dentists that we recommend on this site. If you want to know the cost of a smile makeover, it makes sense to go to the dentists who know how to do it correctly and who can actually create a beautiful smile. Why get a smile makeover in the first place if the result is going to be a mediocre smile? When you Google “porcelain veneers cost,” you get a Google Answers snippet that quotes The Consumer Guide to dentistry (yourdentistryguide.com).

"text": "Dental Veneers Cost: How Much are Veneers Per Tooth? After you have established yourself as a candidate for teeth veneers, you may next jump to the obvious question of 'how much do veneers cost? ' The cost of dental veneers varies significantly on a case-by-case basis, the most important factor of which is perhaps the number of veneers. It goes without saying that the more veneers required for smile makeover, the higher the cost the treatment will be. Another important veneers cost factor is the health of the mouth in question. Treatment for someone with pristine oral health will typically be less than someone with significant tooth decay, gum disease or other health or functionality problems. This is because such conditions must first be corrected before veneers can be considered; which can take time and incur added costs. Some of the additional factors that affect the price of veneers for your teeth include (but are not limited to): Material type (Porcelain veneers cost more than composite veneers)Veneer type (traditional veneers cost more than minimal preparation veneers like Lumineers; they also last longer)The location treatment was performed (Large metropolis’ tend to have higher health care costs than smaller towns)The fees of the cosmetic dentist and lab used to fabricate the veneers Dental insurance coverage (Veneers often are not covered by insurance because they generally are elective)Although the cost of veneers varies significantly, there are national averages serving as a price indicator. Composite veneers cost per tooth ranges between $250 and $1,500. Porcelain veneers cost per tooth ranges between $925 and $2,500."

A standard teeth cleaning can cost $70 -$200; dental X-rays can cost $20-$250 or more; and an exam by a dentist can be $50-$150 or more. Some or all of these costs may be covered by dental insurance. Filling a cavity can cost $50-$300 or more for a silver amalgam filling, and $90-$450 or more for a tooth-colored composite; insurance typically covers all or most of the cost of amalgam fillings, but only part of the composite filling cost.

Crowns are not covered by insurance if they can be considered cosmetic. A root canal can cost $300-$1,500 for a front tooth; $400-$1,800 for a bicuspid; and $500-$2,000 for a molar Dental insurance might cover 40%-80%, but many plans have an annual maximum of $1,000-$2,000. Pulling a tooth can cost $75-$450 for a simple extraction (the tooth that is fully erupted from the gum), and $150-$650 or more for a surgical extraction (the tooth is broken off at the gum, or covered by gum or bone). Wisdom teeth removal can cost $75-$200 per tooth for a simple extraction; $225-$600 per impacted tooth; and $1,000-$3,000 or more to pull four impacted wisdom teeth in one appointment.

No, the real debate: is a dentist a doctor or is a physician the only real doctor? I think maybe the only other health care doctor other than a dentist that takes more of a beating is the chiropractor (as Rodney Dangerfield stated, “I get no respect!”). If you read my blog last week, I ended it telling you to go to You Tube, look up Dentist vs. Doctor, and watch the extra normal video. My wife works at a hospital as an RN part time. She has commented that when people hear her mention Dr. Joyce, they ask what type of doctor he is. When she responds they say, “Oh, he is just a dentist!” This will make more sense if you watch that video. It appears from the comments that some physicians and dentists take this issue very seriously."

Why do amalgam dental fillings have side effects? Amalgam dental fillings, often called “silver” dental fillings, have side effects primarily because they contain mercury. Mercury is the most toxic or poisonous, non radioactive substance on earth. It is more toxic than lead, cadmium, or arsenic. To find a substance more toxic than mercury, you have to go to radioactive plutonium!For information on how to remove mercury from your body, read Amalgam Chelation . For additional information on the toxic effects of amalgam dental fillings, see Amalgam Poisoning . How does mercury act as a poison? Mercury is a scientifically proven neurologic poison, which means that it poisons all nerve tissue, including the brain.

"text": "\"September 2013 Volume 34, Issue 8Figure 1Figure 2Figure 3Maxillofacial Prosthetics: History to Modern Applications. Part 1 – Obturators Gregory J. Paprocki, DDSABSTRACTThe role of the maxillofacial prosthodontist in the treatment of head and neck cancer patients is not well understood in the medical community. Frequently, dental professionals are called upon by physicians to provide advice regarding the complex needs of head and neck cancer patients. Most general dentists have had limited training in this area. The general dentist has the opportunity to provide the bridge between the physician and the maxillofacial prosthodontist, who can provide treatment information to both the general dentist and the physician. A better understanding of maxillofacial prosthodontics can clarify which patients should be referred to a maxillofacial prosthodontist for treatment. Maxillofacial prosthetics is the branch of prosthodontics concerned with the restoration and/or replacement of the stomatognathic and craniofacial structures with prostheses that may or may not be removed on a regular or elective basis. 1 Within maxillofacial prosthetics there are basically four broad areas of focus: 1) obturators; 2) speech and/or swallow prostheses; 3) mandibular resection prostheses; and 4) extraoral facial prostheses. Detailed historical reviews of obturator prostheses are available elsewhere. 2,3 The aim of this article is to highlight milestones leading to the modern-day obturator prostheses."

"text": "Professionals, such as doctors and dentists, are a lot like you and me. They have to plan for retirement too. But unlike you and me, these professionals have access to a wide variety retirement-planning tools and techniques. They also have a few more retirement-planning problems that other retirement savers typically don’t have. “Both professions have their challenges,” said Kevin Meehan, a certified financial planner with Wealth Enhancement Group in Itasca, Ill. What are some of the retirement-planning challenges and issues that professionals should consider? Seeking balance According to John Smith, a certified financial planner with Balasa Dinverno Foltz in Itasca, Ill., doctors and dentists, and others in similar professions, must strike a balance between protecting their assets from lawsuits and creating a tax-efficient portfolio. For instance, he said doctor and dentist typically put as much of their future retirement savings into a qualified retirement plan which is protected against lawsuits,” said Smith. “ However, the end result at retirement is often times a doctor or dentist having a disproportionate amount of net worth in retirement accounts, which are then taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn for spending needs. ”This, said Smith, often results in the professional being “trapped” in a very high marginal tax bracket during their retirement years and therefore result in excessive income taxes being owed without the flexibility to avoid this. “The ‘tax cost’ of this can be a very expensive trade off for what in their minds is a good way to protect their assets from lawsuits during their working years and the result is them then having to save a lot more for their retirement needs than would have otherwise been necessary had they been focused on what they ‘get to keep’ after taxes,” said Smith."

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

Dear Brad, Generally speaking, pain is a protective response that ranges from minor sensitivity to severe pain and informs the body that something is wrong. As for tooth pain, it is caused by a reaction of the nerves inside a tooth's pulp chamber with the severity dependent upon the type and degree of the stimulus. What follows are some examples of symptoms you may be feeling and their possible causes. Symptom: Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and liquids. Possible problem: If discomfort lasts only moments, sensitivity generally does not signal a serious problem. It may be caused by; a small area of decay in a tooth, a loose filling or an exposed root surface resulting from gum recession and possibly toothbrush abrasion. What to do: If a root surface is sensitive, keep it clean and free of dental bacterial plaque."

"text": "Antibiotics Before Dental Work for Joint Replacements Overall Health May 16, 2011 68©Monkey Business Images/Shutterstock.com Last year I wrote an article about dental antibiotic prophylaxis, which talked about why dentists prescribe antibiotics for their patients to take before many dental procedures. In that post I mentioned that anybody who has a joint replacement is supposed to get antibiotics prescribed to them before certain dental procedures. The reason for this is that there are millions of bacteria in our mouth that may enter our bloodstream during certain dental procedures. When an artifical joint gets infected, it normally is considered a failure. Since antibiotics are very cheap and they can help prevent the infection of an artificial joint, it seems like a no-brainer to give antibiotics to patients before invasive dental procedures so that the catastrophic loss of an artificial joint can be avoided. However, there really isn’t conclusive evidence that antibiotics prevent joint infections in the average healthy person. That is why, in the American Dental Association’s original 1997 guidelines on dental antibiotic prophylaxis for joint replacements, and in the 2003 guidelines, the ADA stated, “Antibiotic prophylaxis is not routinely indicated for most dental patients with total joint replacements. ”However, a few years later, the ADA reversed its position and stated that everyone who had an artificial joint replacement needed to take antibiotics before invasive dental procedures regardless of whether or not that person was even at a high risk for developing an infection. Those were the current guidelines when I wrote my post on dental antibiotic prophylaxis last year. However, I also mentioned that the ADA was looking into the issue and would likely issue some new guidelines this year."

The United States does not have a universal health care system covering all citizens. Health insurance is primarily employer-based. What is managed care? Managed care is a system of health care delivery that seeks to achieve efficiencies by integrating the basic functions of health care delivery, and employs mechanisms to control utilization of medicalservices and the price at which the services are purchased.

( And, being managing editor, I should know what’s up to the usual standards of SBM; what I started to write wasn’t it. Trust me on this.) Fortunately, Dr. Grant Ritchey and Dr. Steve Hendry, two skeptical, science-based dentists, did submit something up to SBM ’s usual standards. Even better, since we’ve been having a number of requests for posts involving dentistry, it seemed like a perfect time to publish their first contribution to SBM and see how our readers like it. Maybe next time around, I’ll have them update the “state of knowledge” regarding amalgams. Form follows function, as the old saying goes. Nowhere in the human body is this adage more fitting than in the oral cavity. In less than two generations, the practice of dentistry has evolved from basic pain relief and function-based procedures (such as extractions and fillings), into today’s practices of complex cosmetic rehabilitation, orthopedic and orthodontic management of the teeth, jaws, and facial structures, replacing missing teeth with dental implants, and treatment of sleep apnea and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, to name but a few. With such rapid progress, it is to be expected that for every science based advance made in our field, there are just as many claims that are either dubious in their evidential support or outright pseudo-scientific or anti-scientific nonsense."

Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video.0:00 / 2:28Removable Prosthetics (Dentures)When dental implants were first introduced, treatment was entirely focused on complete denture wearers and on making their dentures more wearable. This is still a mainstay of implant treatment, and there are some advantages to removable dental appliances. First, dentures replace not only missing teeth, but also missing bone as well as gum tissue. For this reason, removable appliances are often necessary to provide an esthetically pleasing appearance. Secondly, removable appliances are easier to clean and maintain. This is a decided advantage for many patients who have difficulty brushing and flossing teeth. Removable appliances are also more adaptable. If you were to lose additional teeth, changes in appliance design can be made. Finally, removable appliances are generally more affordable."

Courses in dental technology are taken as part of a full certificate or degree program. Show Me Schools View 10 Popular Schools »Essential Information Although formal education is not a requirement to work as a dental technician, vocational schools, community colleges and universities offer certificate and associate's degree programs in dental laboratory technology. These programs can take around two years to complete. Students learn to create and repair partial and full-set dentures, shape and polish ceramic dental implants and make both removable and fixed orthodontic appliances. Students usually gain significant hands-on professional practice working with dental appliances, often through laboratory instruction and work at a dental office. Dental technicians can pursue the Certified Dental Technician (CDT) certification. To qualify to take the three required exams, one must have completed an approved training program or have at least five years of work experience. Individuals can choose from various certification specializations, including dentures, ceramics, orthodontics and implants.

"text": "\"updated March 14, 2018Dentures are removable dental appliances that replace missing teeth. Unlike dental implants and dental bridges, which are more or less permanently affixed to the bone, dentures are prosthetic teeth attached to a supporting structure. Dentures can be removed at night, for cleaning, or whenever desired. The most affordable dentures are those made with traditional plastic prosthetic teeth, but even more expensive porcelain cosmetic dentures usually cost less than implants. Cost Often more affordable than dental implants, dentures are removable dental appliances meant to look and function like natural teeth. Many patients who have experienced tooth loss and are concerned about the loss of both functionality and aesthetics turn to dentures to meet their needs. The cost of dentures varies considerably, according to geographical location, the dentist, and type of dentures. Pricing Breakdown Factors that influence the cost of dentures may include the area in which you live, your dentist, the type of dentures you require, and the quality of dentures you select. Full dentures are designed to replace an entire set of teeth, either the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or the entire mouth. Partial dentures, on the other hand, are for those who have lost only a few teeth and are often an affordable alternative to dental bridges."

The Medicaid dental benefit is limited and includes only essential services Essential Services. Medicaid Dental Coverage includes only “essential services,” rather than comprehensive care.

"text": "\"article by Richard A. Glenner, DDSThere is no record in ancient history of impression-taking in dentistry. Matthaus Purmann (1648–1711), a German surgeon, appears to have discussed making sketches and wax models from which prosthetic appliances were copied. The concept of taking impressions to make models, from which prosthetic appliances could be constructed, goes back to the early 18th century. Another German, Philipp Pfaff (1713–1766), dentist to Frederick the Great of Prussia, was the first to describe a technique of taking impressions with sealing wax, which had been softened in hot water, and pouring plaster of Paris into the impression to form a rigid cast. 1,2In November of 1787, John Greenwood ran an advertisement in the New York Daily Advertiser. This ad stated that \"\"persons at any distance may be supplied with artificial teeth by sending an impression, taken in wax, of the places where wanted …\"\" This appears to be an account of the earliest use of models in dental prostheses in this country. John Greenwood’s son, Isaac John Greenwood, in a letter to Dr. Jonathan Taft in 1861, states that neither his grandfather, Isaac Greenwood, who practiced in Boston prior to the Revolutionary War, nor his father, John Greenwood, who practiced in New York until 1820, used plaster of Paris to make models, but both used beeswax to make moulds. Isaac John Greenwood further states that he and his brother, Clarke, did not use plaster of Paris until 1820. 3,4Figure 1: Impression box or tray from The Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology of The Human Teeth by Paul Goddard, 1844. In 1819, Levi S. Parmly, in his A Practical Guide to the Management of the Teeth, which was written primarily for popular consumption and published in Philadelphia, states that his method of making artificial teeth is \"\"entirely new in this country, and is considered one of the greatest improvements in the dental art.\"\""

The general dentist has the opportunity to provide the bridge between the physician and the maxillofacial prosthodontist, who can provide treatment information to both the general dentist and the physician. A better understanding of maxillofacial prosthodontics can clarify which patients should be referred to a maxillofacial prosthodontist for treatment. Maxillofacial prosthetics is the branch of prosthodontics concerned with the restoration and/or replacement of the stomatognathic and craniofacial structures with prostheses that may or may not be removed on a regular or elective basis. 1 Within maxillofacial prosthetics there are basically four broad areas of focus: 1) obturators; 2) speech and/or swallow prostheses; 3) mandibular resection prostheses; and 4) extraoral facial prostheses. Detailed historical reviews of obturator prostheses are available elsewhere. 2,3 The aim of this article is to highlight milestones leading to the modern-day obturator prostheses."

Share this: Facebook Google Twitter Pinterest Reddit Linked In Email You should read this article if you want to learn about denture reline procedure or if you have a loose and uncomfortable denture and would like to improve its fit. Removable dentures are advanced prosthetic devices, which are used for the replacement of missing teeth and restoration of oral functions. Majority of the prosthetic devices including dentures require servicing and maintenance to extend their performance and service life. Denture reline is performed to improve denture fit, health of the gums, and comfort for the denture wearer. Denture reline procedure can be performed on all types of dentures, such as such as partial, complete, immediate and implant dentures. Below is a list of common indications for the denture reline procedure. Indications for Denture Reline Loose and Poorly Fitting Dentures Over time denture can become unstable due to the shrinkage of the supporting bone under its base. Denture reline procedure can improve the fit of poorly fitting denture and restore the health of the supporting gums. Under certain circumstances the fit of a new or recently fabricated denture can also be improved with a denture reline procedure."

Dentures replace missing teeth and give patients a renewed sense of confidence and functionality. If you have tooth loss due to trauma or tooth decay, dentures may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Speak with your dentist about dentures during your next visit. What Are Dentures? Dentures are a detachable, prosthetic substitute for a person’s missing natural teeth. Dentures are made by your dentist to replace any or all of your missing teeth as well as the adjoining tissue. There are two types of dentures: partial dentures and complete dentures. Types Of Dentures Partial dentures replace teeth that are missing, while your other natural teeth remain."

Nov 25, 2012 by Patricia 3 Comments Posted under: Health & Beauty Summary of Denture Costs Price range: Depending upon the materials used to manufacture dentures, their type and whether or not the wearer has insurance, dentures can range between $300 per plate to in excess of $90,000. Average Price: The average price of a full set of conventional dentures ranges from $1000 – 3000. Lowest Price: If the wearer has insurance, he or she can expect to pay a price as low as $600 for a full set of basic dentures. The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) can assist people in finding low cost dentures. There are many different factors to consider when budgeting for dentures. This article will talk about the various options available so that consumers can made educated decisions. A Proven Medical Necessity – Paying with Insurance Coverage Many dental insurance companies will pay a percentage of the cost of one’s dentures under their standard plans, if a physician or dentist has deemed them medically necessary. In almost all cases, this is not true of medical insurance plans. Upon rare occasion, if a party is injured in an automobile accident, one’s automobile insurance will pick up the costs."

Smitha b Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.sjdr.2014.02.001 Get rights and content Open Access funded by King Saud University Under a Creative Commons license Abstract An exostosis is a localized, peripheral overgrowth of bone of unknown etiology of benign nature. It may be a nodular, flat or pedunculated protuberance located on the alveolar surfaces of the jawbones. The etiology of oral bony exostosis is still not clear. Racial, autosomal dominant factors, dental attrition, and even nutritional factors have been suggested as having an influence. In the jaws, depending on the anatomic location they are named as torus palatinus (TP), torus mandibularis (TM), or buccal bone exostoses (BBE). The clinical importance of exostosis lies in surgical removal of these to permit proper flap adaptation, most importantly in the posterior maxilla, and to the potential use of the mandibular and palatal tori as sources of autogenous cortical bone for grafting.

"text": "Mar 25Time to Talk About – Choosing a Prosthodontist or General Dentist With a little bit of help from one of our favorite online resources, Wikipedia, today we hope to help you understand the differences between a general dentist and a prosthodontist. We believe this information will help you make a more informed decision when you are considering your choices for tooth replacement therapy, cosmetic dentistry, or any oral specialty. Essentially, a prosthodontist is a dentist who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of the oral function: including the comfort, appearance and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using prosthetic substitutes – or false teeth. “According to the American College of Prosthodontists, a prosthodontist is a dentist who: Specializes in the aesthetic (cosmetic) restoration and replacement of teeth. Receives three to four years of additional training after dental school. Restores optimum appearance and function to your smile. The treatment planning and restoration of implants, Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ), and rehabilitation of occlusion with prostheses all fall under the field of prosthodontics. ”There are just 3200 prosthodontists in the US today, compared to some 170,000 general dentists, all with additional specialized training in rigorous clinical and didactic preparation in the basic sciences, head and neck anatomy, biomedical sciences, biomaterial sciences, function of occlusion (bite), TMJ, and treatment planning and experience treating full-mouth reconstruction cases, and esthetics. A prosthodontist will also spend an additional year of training in maxillofacial prosthetics, which includes oral surgical and prosthodontic treatments. Your prosthodontist is a highly trained dental specialist, with full training in general dentistry as well."

Lines and Angles An angle is composed of two lines and is a measure of the spread between them. The point where the two lines meet is called the vertex. On the GRE, angles are measured in degrees. Here’s an example: The ° after the 45 is a degree symbol. This angle measures 45 degrees. Acute, Obtuse, and Right Angles Angles that measure less than 90° are called acute angles.

The geometry of these figures were known to man for thousands of years. The subject is explicitly treated in the book “Elements” written by Greek mathematician Euclid. Parallelogram Parallelogram can be defined as the geometric figure with four sides, with opposite sides parallel to each other. More precisely it is a quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides. This parallel nature gives many geometric characteristics to the parallelograms. A quadrilateral is a parallelogram if following geometric characteristics are found.• Two pairs of opposing sides are equal in length.

Quadrilaterals break down into several categories: simple quadrilaterals are those that do not have any self-crossings (in the manner of the bowtie shape below, for example); complex quadrilaterals do have self-crossings. Examples are shown below. In the class of simple quadrilaterals are concave quadrilaterals (such as the leftmost simple quadrilateral above) and convex quadrilaterals. A concave quadrilateral contains a reflex angle (an angle greater than 180°), whereas all of the angles in a convex quadrilateral are less than 180°. Again, the examples in the diagram above illustrate these characteristics. In our discussion, we will only consider simple convex quadrilaterals--these include such figures as rectangles. In addition to having four sides, quadrilaterals also have four vertices and four interior angles. One particular property of quadrilaterals that we can immediately derive is the total number of degrees in the sum of interior angles. Recall that our study of triangles showed that every triangle has 180° (that is, the measures of the interior angles always sum to 180°)."

If you’ve taken high school geometry, you’ve probably covered all of the topics reviewed here. If you haven’t taken high school geometry, you should consider taking the ACT after you’ve taken a geometry course, or, if that’s not possible, enlisting the help of a geometry teacher. While you can probably get by on the ACT without knowing trigonometry or intermediate algebra very well, you cannot get by without a solid understanding of plane geometry, because these questions constitute such a significant part of the test. In this section, we’ll cover these plane geometry topics in the following order: Angles and Lines Triangles Polygons Circles Simple Three-Dimensional Geometry Key topics, such as area and perimeter, will be covered in the relevant sections. For instance, areas of triangles are covered in the section on triangles. Angles and Lines An angle is a geometric figure consisting of two rays with a common endpoint: The common endpoint of the rays is called the vertex of the angle. In this case, the vertex is point A , which is a part of the ray as well as the ray. The angle can be called either or. The only rule in naming an angle is that the vertex must always be the middle “initial” of the angle."

For example, look at the chopped-off pyramid on the back of a U. S. one dollar bill. The front face you see under the eye is a trapezoid, since it has 4 sides, and the top parallel with the bottom. A square is one example of a rhombus, but you can have a rhombus that isn't a square. For example, draw a \"\"V\"\" and then put a second \"\"V\"\" upside down and on top of it so that the ponts touch, to make a diamond shape.

These multicellular organisms contain specialized cells that perform different tasks. Marine algae (seaweeds and phytoplankton) are a loose group of some of the simplest organisms that contain chlorophyll (like plants) but include members of both the Empires Prokaryota (Kingdom Bacteria - e.g., cyanobacteria) and Eukaryota (Kingdoms Chromista, Plantae and Protozoa...). Marine algae though are abundant throughout the ocean and can either float freely or cling to substrate such as rocks and reefs. The majority of seaweeds are classified as red algae (~6,000 species). There are also brown algae (~2,000 species) and green algae (~8,000 species). None of the algae species are known to be poisonous, and many species are harvested for human consumption.

With the premise that isoprene emission is metabolically linked to photosynthesis in phytoplankton as in plants, we measured isoprene emission and photosynthesis to changing light levels in high-density cultures of two diatom species, Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Chaetoceros calcitrans. Isoprene emission increased and did not saturate with increasing light levels in C. calcitrans under laboratory conditions, whereas isoprene emission of P. tricornutum decreased at high-light levels with an associated increase in non-photochemical quenching. When tested for CO 2 response, emission from P. tricornutum increased under low CO 2 (similar to higher plants) but did not cease in absence of dissolved CO 2, plausibly due to CO 2 concentrating mechanisms. Isoprene emission under full-sun light in outdoor cultures of C. calcitrans (500 ± 200 fmol μg Chl − 1 h − 1) was significantly greater than maximum emission in laboratory cultures (100 ± 30 fmol μg Chl − 1 h − 1 ). We show that photosynthetic capacity of diatoms can be equal to or greater than that of higher plants. However, the carbon cost of isoprene emission in diatoms (≤ 0.0005% of photosynthesis) is significantly smaller than that in plants (0.9%). Based on these findings, we calculate that isoprene emission from diatoms alone can contribute ~ 4.8 Tg C yr − 1 to the atmosphere, which is much greater than current modelled projections for annual isoprene emission from the entire marine ecosystem.

"text": "Top The major nutrients (nitrate, phosphate and silicate) needed for phytoplankton growth are abundant in the surface waters of the subarctic Pacific, equatorial Pacific and Southern oceans, but this growth is limited by the availability of iron 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Under iron-deficient conditions, phytoplankton exhibit reduced uptake of nitrate 6 and lower cellular levels of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus 7. Here I describe seawater and culture experiments which show that iron limitation can also affect the ratio of consumed silicate to nitrate and phosphate. In iron-limited waters from all three of the aforementioned environments, addition of iron to phytoplankton assemblages in incubation bottles halved the silicate:nitrate and silicate:phosphate consumption ratios, in spite of the preferential growth of diatoms (silica-shelled phytoplankton). The nutrient consumption ratios of the phytoplankton assemblage from the Southern Ocean were similar to those of an iron-deficient laboratory culture of Antarctic diatoms, which exhibit increased cellular silicon or decreased cellular nitrogen and phosphorus in response to iron limitation. Iron limitation therefore increases the export of biogenic silicon, relative to nitrogen and phosphorus, from the surface to deeper waters. These findings suggest how the sedimentary records of carbon and silicon deposition in the glacial Southern Ocean 8 can be consistent with the idea that changes in productivity, and thus in drawdown of atmospheric CO 2, during the last glaciation were stimulated by changes in iron inputs from atmospheric dust. Iron-enrichment bottle incubation experiments were performed with resident phytoplankton assemblages to determine the effect of iron on major-nutrient uptake in three upwelling areas of the open ocean where iron input from atmospheric dust is known to be low 9; the Southern Ocean, the equatorial Pacific, and the subarctic North Pacific. In the Southern Ocean, iron addition promoted chlorophyll a increase and nitrate decrease compared to the control, indicating iron limitation of phytoplankton growth and nutrient utilization ( Fig. 1a, b )."

Diatoms, dinoflagellates and microflagellates form the bottom of the aquatic food chain. Numbers of phytoplankton in an ocean might be so concentrated that they affect the color of the water and tint the water brown, green or red. Phytoplankton provide a necessary part of the aquatic food chain. Without phytoplankton, no other part of the food chain could exist. As producers of their own food through photosynthesis, they provide food to consumers larger than themselves who in turn provide food to the next creature up the food chain. They provide the first link in the plant, animal, human aquatic food chain. Diatom The diatom phytoplankton classification contains more species than any other type.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Seaweed and two chitons in a tide pool. Benthos is the community of organisms that live on, in, or near the seabed, also known as the benthic zone. [ 1] This community lives in or near marine sedimentary environments, from tidal pools along the foreshore, out to the continental shelf, and then down to the abyssal depths. Many organisms adapted to deep-water pressure cannot survive in the upper parts of the water column. The pressure difference can be very significant (approximately one atmosphere for each 10 metres of water depth). [ 2] [ not in citation given] [3]Because light is absorbed before it can reach deep ocean-water, the energy source for deep benthic ecosystems is often organic matter from higher up in the water column that drifts down to the depths. This dead and decaying matter sustains the benthic food chain; most organisms in the benthic zone are scavengers or detritivores. The term benthos, coined by Haeckel in 1891, [4] comes from the Greek noun βένθος \"\"depth of the sea\"\". [ 1] [5] Benthos is also used in freshwater biology to refer to organisms at the bottom of freshwater bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and streams.

For the most part they are microscopic and get around with the movement of the ocean currents. They are also typically found at or near the surface of the water. There are several major classifications of plankton. Phytoplankton Phytoplankton are the photosynthetic plankton or the producers. Notice I did not say the plants, because although it is easy to think of them as plants, they are not plants as defined by biologists. Included in the phytoplankton are some members of the Kingdom Monera (remember that in biology organisms are classified in Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species). These are the most primitive and simplest single-celled organisms on earth and include bacteria and blue-green algae. These are especially important as decomposers."

Diatoms are unicellular, although they can form colonies in the shape of filaments or ribbons (e.g. Fragilaria ), fans (e.g. Meridion ), zigzags (e.g. Tabellaria ), or stars (e.g. Asterionella ). The first diatom formally described in scientific literature, the colonial Bacillaria paradoxa, was found in 1783 by Danish naturalist Otto Friedrich Müller. Diatoms are producers within the food chain. A unique feature of diatom cells is that they are enclosed within a cell wall made of silica (hydrated silicon dioxide) called a frustule. [ 7] These frustules show a wide diversity in form, but are usually almost bilaterally symmetrical, hence the group name. The symmetry is not perfect since one of the valves is slightly larger than the other, allowing one valve to fit inside the edge of the other. These shells are used by humans as diatomaceous earth, also known as diatomite. Fossil evidence suggests that they originated during, or before, the early Jurassic period."

By Rebecca Lindsey and Michon Scott Design by Robert Simmon July 13, 2010Derived from the Greek words phyto (plant) and plankton (made to wander or drift), phytoplankton are microscopic organisms that live in watery environments, both salty and fresh. Some phytoplankton are bacteria, some are protists, and most are single-celled plants. Among the common kinds are cyanobacteria, silica-encased diatoms,dinoflagellates, green algae, and chalk-coated coccolithophores. Phytoplankton are extremely diverse, varying from photosynthesizing bacteria (cyanobacteria), to plant-like diatoms, to armor-plated coccolithophores (drawings not to scale). ( Collage adapted from drawings and micrographs by Sally Bensusen, NASA EOS Project Science Office. ) Like land plants, phytoplankton have chlorophyll to capture sunlight, and they use photosynthesis to turn it into chemical energy. They consume carbon dioxide, and release oxygen. All phytoplankton photosynthesize, but some get additional energy by consuming other organisms. Phytoplankton growth depends on the availability of carbon dioxide, sunlight, and nutrients."

"text": "Mouth irritants Oxalate plants contain sharp, tiny crystals in their juices, leaves and stems, called calcium oxalate crystals. Oxalate crystals can cause intense pain and swelling if they come in contact with the skin or mouth. When any part of these plants is chewed and swallowed, the crystals stab the sensitive tissues of the tongue, gums and throat, creating the sensation of biting into ground glass. Pain, difficulty swallowing, swelling and temporary hoarseness may occur. Poisoning from swallowing an oxalate-containing plant is rare because the intense mouth pain usually prevents children from eating a significant quantity of the plant. If a child eats any part of an oxalate-containing plant, wipe out the residue of the plant from the mouth and offer a cool drink or snack such as a popsicle, applesauce or yogurt. If there is swelling that prevents the child taking anything by mouth or causes difficulty breathing, go to the nearest emergency department immediately. When the juices of the plant come in contact with the skin, burning, pain and swelling may occur. Lather the exposed area repeatedly with soap and rinse with warm running water to ease the irritation. If the pain continues, contact your child's physician."

Asparagus Fern Asparagus fern (also called emerald feather, emerald fern, sprengeri fern, plumosa fern, and lace fern) is toxic to dogs and cats. The toxic agent in this plant is sapogenin — a steroid found in a variety of plants. If a dog or cat ingests the berries of this plant, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or abdominal pain can occur. Allergic dermatitis (skin inflammation) can occur if an animal is repeatedly exposed to this plant. Corn Plant Corn plant (also known as cornstalk plant, dracaena, dragon tree, and ribbon plant) is toxic to dogs and cats. Saponin is the toxic chemical compound in this plant. If this plant is ingested, vomiting (with or without blood), appetite loss, depression, and/or increased salivation can occur."

"text": "\"Poisoning Follow City-Data.com founder on our Forum or @Lech Mazur Definition Poisoning occurs when any substance interferes with normal body functions after it is swallowed, inhaled, injected, or absorbed. The branch of medicine that deals with the detection and treatment of poisons is known as toxicology. Description Children are the most common victims of poisoning in the United States. Curiosity, inability to read warning labels, a desire to imitate adults, and inadequate supervision lead to most childhood poisonings. The elderly are the second most likely group to be poisoned. Mental confusion, poor eyesight, and the use of multiple drugs are the leading reasons this group has a high rate of accidental poisoning. A substantial number of poisonings also occur as suicide attempts or drug overdoses. Poisons are common in the home and workplace, yet there are basically two major types. One group consists of products that were never meant to be ingested or inhaled, such as shampoo, paint thinner, pesticides, houseplant leaves, and carbon monoxide. The other group contains products that can be ingested in small quantities, but which are harmful if taken in large amounts, such as pharmaceuticals, medicinal herbs, or alcohol."

"text": "Health & Nutrition Common Dangerous Plants March 26, 2013 Parentous 8 Comments Last week, I wrote about how some kids today are very brand and IT savvy, but are totally alienated from nature around us. To the extent that while they can identify 50 brands they cannot identify if a common plant in the garden is harmful or useful. This situation has led to many accidents when kids have swallowed or brushed with some such plants.it is our responsibility to make sure that our kids know which plants can be dangerous The important thing to remember is that the benefits derived from plants are far more than the small negatives that we have and as parents it is our responsibility to make sure that our kids know which plants can be dangerous. It is like the electric socket in our home, we know it is dangerous but we do not remove it, instead we teach our kids to learn to not touch the same. Listing all dangerous plants is beyond the scope of this post, what I am doing here is giving pictures and brief description of 6 plants that you are likely to find in your surroundings and the commonly visible parts of these plant like leaves, stem, and flower which can be toxic. I am excluding plants that though are known to be poisonous but are out of kid’s reach e.g. tuber is not likely to come in touch with a kid. Plumeria or Frangipani : Is a common garden tree throughout India and the flower can be yellow, pink, white, red and mildly scented. The sap is mildly toxic and due to the nice smell of flowers kids love to collect them and at times will put in mouth leading to irritation. The sap from the stem is also toxic and can cause irritation and burning sensation if it goes into eyes.some dwarf species with beautiful flowers are used for decorative purpose Nerium : Related to Plumeria, again the whole plant is toxic and is normally used as a hedge on road dividers, but nowadays some dwarf species with beautiful flowers are used for decorative purpose in housing societies. Again the sap is poisonous and will cause itching, burning sensation, and redness on the body part that comes in contact with the sap."

"text": "Home | Cats | Care & Ownership Catnip and How it Affects Cats Source: Pet Wave, Updated on August 12, 2016Why Cats Eat Catnip Wild and domestic cats normally eat a small amount of plant matter as part of their regular diet. Unfortunately, cats kept exclusively indoors may munch on household plants, if they are not provided with another source of plant material. Many house plants are poisonous or can otherwise be dangerous to cats, including dieffenbachia (“dumb cane”), chrysanthemum, poinsettia, bird of paradise, mums, asparagus fern, seed pods and beans of some dried tropical plants, ivy leaves and the berries of mistletoe and Christmas cherry, and many others. Indoor cats should be provided with a source of safe plant material. Owners can grow their cats a pot of lawn grass, oat grass, wheat grass, parsley or clover. Better yet, they can grow an entire indoor pot or outdoor plant of catnip! Most cats enjoy catnip, whether fresh or dried. Catnip thrives in full sun and dry soil. Outdoors, it is considered to be a fairly invasive plant. Catnip is safe for cats to be around and also to eat."

"text": "Plate with coloful vitamins (Nicholas Eveleigh/GETTY IMAGES)By Jennifer La Rue Huget August 23, 2011In an ideal world, no one would need dietary supplements. Our balanced diets would provide all the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients our bodies need. Alas, the world of American eating is far from ideal. And that, some nutrition experts and supplement advocates argue, is why we need dietary supplements. The latest federal data show that more than half of U. S. adults use dietary supplements, mostly multivitamins. But do we really need all those pills? Depends on whom you ask. The latest version of the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans urges us to get our nutrients primarily from food:“A fundamental premise of the Dietary Guidelines is that nutrients should come primarily from foods. Foods in nutrient-dense, mostly intact forms contain not only the essential vitamins and minerals that are often contained in nutrient supplements, but also dietary fiber and other naturally occurring substances that may have positive health effects. ”This “food first” approach is based on the emerging understanding that our bodies may process nutrients in food differently from those supplied by supplements and that foods contain scores of compounds whose synergy may be what makes them good for us."

By Margaret Polaneczky, MD“How much extra calcium should I be taking?”It’s a question I get several times a day from women of all ages, but mostly from those in menopause or nearing menopause. The answer I almost always give is “less than you think.” And for most women, probably none. It’s not that I don’t think calcium is important. It is. Adequate calcium and vitamin D are critical for building and maintaining a healthy bone mass. But most women, with the exception of those who can’t tolerate dairy, are already getting a significant amount of calcium in their diet. So much so that taking calcium supplements adds little to their overall health. In fact, the U. S. Preventive Services Task Force recently recommended against routine calcium and vitamin D supplements for healthy postmenopausal women."

Oregon State University | Oct 29, 2013A new review suggests that omega-3 fatty acids taken in excess could have unintended health consequences in certain situations, and that dietary standards based on the best available evidence need to be established. “What looked like a slam dunk a few years ago may not be as clear cut as we thought,” said Norman Hord, associate professor in OSU’s College of Public Health and Human Sciences and a coauthor on the paper. “We are seeing the potential for negative effects at really high levels of omega-3 fatty acid consumption. Because we lack valid biomarkers for exposure and knowledge of who might be at risk if consuming excessive amounts, it isn’t possible to determine an upper limit at this time. ”Previous research led by Michigan State University’s Jenifer Fenton and her collaborators found that feeding mice large amounts of dietary omega-3 fatty acids led to increased risk of colitis and immune alteration. Those results were published in Cancer Research in 2010. As a follow-up, in the current issue of the journal Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes & Essential Fatty Acids, Fenton and her co-authors, including Hord, reviewed the literature and discuss the potential adverse health outcomes that could result from excess consumption of omega-3 fatty acids. Studies have shown that omega-3s, also known as long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), are associated with lower risk of sudden cardiac death and other cardiovascular disease outcomes."

A multivitamin is a preparation intended to serve as a dietary supplement - with vitamins, dietary minerals, and other nutritional elements. Such preparations are available in the form of tablets, capsules, pastilles, powders, liquids, or injectable formulations. Other than injectable formulations, which are only available and administered under medical supervision, multivitamins are recognized by the Codex Alimentarius Commission (the United Nations ' authority on food standards) as a category of food. [ 1]In healthy people, most scientific evidence indicates that multivitamin supplements do not prevent cancer, heart disease, or other ailments, and regular supplementation is not necessary. [ 2] [3] However, specific groups of people may benefit from multivitamin supplements, for example, people with poor nutrition or those at high risk of macular degeneration. [ 4] [3]There is no standardized scientific definition for multivitamin. [ 5] In the United States, a multivitamin/mineral supplement is defined as a supplement containing three or more vitamins and minerals that does not include herbs, hormones, or drugs, where each vitamin and mineral is included at a dose below the tolerable upper intake level as determined by the Food and Drug Board, and does not present a risk of adverse health effects.

Multivitamins are typically available in a variety of formulas based on age and sex, or (as in prenatal vitamins) based on more specific nutritional needs; a multivitamin for men might include less iron, while a multivitamin for seniors might include extra vitamin D.

Referencing a mere correlation study, these reports alluded that the population should monitor or reduce their copper intake. Some sources even suggested copper-fortified multi-vitamins should be thrown out! What the media failed to mention, however, was a report by the US Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences which stated only 25% of the US population gets enough copper daily. With this conflicting information, how can we know what to do? Copper Facts As it turns out, it looks like we’re all copper deficient to some degree. Why is it that, considering our low copper levels, doctors and nutritionists don’t know more about this vital micronutrient? Since that answer seems shrouded in silence, here are a few things you need to know to inform you and your family: Copper is Essential for Cellular Energy Contrary to media reports, copper isn’t dangerous in small amounts –it’s essential. It plays an integral role in the creation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), cellular energy necessary for every biological function.

Calcium also helps to transport ions across cell membranes, and it is necessary for proper muscle contraction. Getting enough calcium is essential for good health at every age. Most people get some of the calcium they need from dietary sources. However, many people need additional calcium in the form of a supplement. In addition, the body uses calcium to control the release of neurotransmitters, to control blood pressure, to promote wound healing and to promote blood clotting. When an individual doesn't consume enough calcium, he or she may develop osteoporosis, nerve problems, digestive problems and other issues. Because calcium is essential to so many bodily functions, the body will withdraw this mineral from the bones if it doesn't receive enough of this mineral from the diet. Over time, this leads to osteoporosis."

It is also true that no other subject is as riddled with misinformation and myths. The proliferation of inaccurate and often lethal advice on this subject in books, in magazine articles and on the Internet is astonishing. It is no wonder that many new keepers find themselves totally confused, and often end up making basic, but serious mistake s. This is not a subject upon which it is easy to generalize. There are innumerable variables. Getting the diet right necessitates an understanding of an individual species’ nutritional requirements, an understanding of how environment affects nutritional needs, an understanding of basic food chemistry and some knowledge of the vitamin and mineral trace element metabolisms. Unfortunately, many of those who publish advice on this subject seem to lack such knowledge, and hence much of what appears in print and upon the Internet is incomplete, is based upon misunderstandings of these essential principles, or is a gross oversimplification. Whole books can be written on the subject of feeding tortoises and turtles in captivity, and indeed have been. Even genuine experts in this field often disagree upon the finer points."

It's required for normal growth and maintenance of most of the tissues of your body, including collagen, which is needed for healthy connective tissue and wound healing. Vitamin C also helps your bones and teeth stay strong. It's also necessary to make certain neurotransmitters and for protein metabolism.

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division has determined the dietary reference intakes (DRI) for vitamin C. It's based on the daily nutritional needs of an average healthy person. If you have any medical issues, you should speak with your health care provider about your vitamin C requirements.

Because humans don’t have an actual biological method for excreting iron, like we do for many water soluble nutrients, too much of it can lead to poisoning that may be lethal."

"text": "4 Things That Won’t Help Your Tendons and 4 Things That Mightby Brian Rigby, MS, CISSNNovember 16, 2015 25 Replies News/Blog Nutrition Myths After I finished writing my glucosamine and chondroitin supplement guide and follow-up executive overview, I realized that what I had written could be disheartening. I don’t want to be solely the bearer of bad news, and I’ve also experienced firsthand how presenting only the negatives can fail to inspire change. Since one of the foremost goals of Climbing Nutrition is to improve your nutrition (and thereby your climbing), this isn’t ideal—and so I want to provide some tips on how you can hopefully improve the health and tenacity of your connective tissue. To be certain, I also don’t want to provide false hope; if a diet or supplement does not or cannot work, I’m not going to hedge about it. The world of nutrition is filled with implausible and unproven advice, and it will remain a secondary goal of this website to actively fight against pseudoscientific nutrition, especially as it relates to climbers. But in many cases, if there is a worthless recommendation to debunk, there is also something of worth to recommend. The unfortunate truth is that these recommendations are rarely, if ever, as strong or sexy as their pseudoscientific counterparts (hence the “might” in the post title). That’s the reality of science-based nutrition, though—there are no guarantees, and many areas that are potentially promising have a dearth of evidence, making it hard to know whether they’ll actually pan out. Regardless, these same recommendations are often healthy or helpful in at least some known factor, unlike many pseudoscientific recommendations that have virtually no worth when removed from their false promises. Enough preamble, though!"

Are some fats “good” and other fats “bad”? What is fat? Fats and oils are large molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, and a little bit of oxygen. Each fat molecule contains 3 “fatty acid” tails attached to a glycerol backbone. The result is called a “triglyceride.” Every fat molecule (or triglyceride) has the same glycerol backbone; it’s the different types of fatty acids attached to that backbone that give different kinds of fats their unique properties. Each fatty acid is essentially a long chain of carbon atoms with lots of hydrogen atoms attached to it along both sides, and an “acid” group on one end."

"text": "Centre Diff Lock To Stop Centre Diff Lock being engaged automatically when low range is selected Toyota deemed that the centre diff would be locked automatically when low range was selected in it's constant 4X4 80 Series. There are many situations when this is in fact not desirable. One situation that comes to mind is when low range needs to be engaged on a hard surface for example getting a heavy towed load moving on a hill or backing a boat up a driveway. In these situations if the centre diff is locked transmission line wind up can occur resulting in considerable strain on running components. A plug located on the rear of the transfer, in about the 1 o'clock position looking towards the front of the vehicle needs to be unplugged. It unplugs in the horizontal plane and has a yellow and blue/black wire attached. Once unplugged just wrap the ends in some insulation tape to stop dirt getting into the exposed connections. Locking the centre diff is now controlled manually, in both high and low range, by the switch on the dash; a far more flexible and sensible situation. If you have ABS brakes, you'll need a centre diff lock switch."

"text": "\"Questions about the differential gear ratios and Toyota pickups commonly come up. It is a very important issue in terms of both highway and off road performance. When larger tires are added, without changing to the proper gears, more power is needed to maintain the same level of highway performance. In addition, crawl speed is decreased. Because our Toyotas are relatively heavy vehicles with relatively low power engines, we don't have a lot of excess power to spare, so gearing is very important. The first thing to do, when considering gear ratios and diffs is to determine what gears are on the truck. If you are relatively certain that the truck's gear ratios were not changed by the prior owner, knowing which gears you have is only a quick check of the VIN plate away. On earlier model trucks, the VIN plate is located on the engine comparment firewall. On later (1988 or 1989 and newer) trucks, the VIN plate is locate on the driver's side door jam. Some earlier trucks also have a plate with the VIN number and misc."

You don't want to lock it when you are traveling on a hard surface dirt road that is in reasonably good condition (i.e. you are able to drive at speeds over, say, 15 mph) because locking the center diff also disables VSC.

Post a comment!Create an account [–] arcang3l 2013 Subaru BRZ 110 points 2 years ago A lot of people are talking about the benefits of a LSD on slippery terrain, which is absolutely a great fringe benefit of a LSD. However, outside of a few AWD systems* (older Audi Quattro and some older Subaru systems had LSDs all around, even on non-performance cars. Modern LSD-based systems are mostly found on high-performance AWD cars, like the Subaru STi), LSDs are pretty much exclusively installed on performance cars (and while some brave souls may take their expensive sports car in the snow, or even off road, that is far from their intended application). The reason is because a very similar effect can happen when taking a turn at high speeds. The wheel on the inside of the turn will rotate much slower, and, due to the centrifugal G-forces trying to force the car to the outside of the turn, it will also have much less of the car's weight on it. These two factors make it very easy for the inside drive wheel to break free when the driver hits the gas to power out of the turn. At this point, the car functions exactly like the \"\"one wheel on ice\"\" scenarios explained by other posters, sending all it's power to the spinning wheel, and making it impossible for the car to accelerate out of the turn. With an open differential, the only solution to this problem is to use less throttle to prevent the inside wheel from spinning in the first place. However, a car with a LSD can overcome this problem by forcing some of the car's power to go to the outside wheel (i.e. the one with all the grip)."

"text": "\"For other uses, see Aquastat (disambiguation). An aquastat is a device used in hydronic heating systems for controlling water temperature. To prevent the boiler from firing too often, aquastats have a high limit temperature and a low limit. If the thermostat is calling for heat, the boiler will fire until the high limit is reached, then shut off (even if the thermostat is still calling for heat). The boiler will re-fire if the boiler water temperature drops below a range around the high limit. The high limit exists for the sake of efficiency and safety. The boiler will also fire (regardless of thermostat state) when the boiler water temperature goes below a range around the low limit, ensuring that the boiler water temperature remains above a certain point. The low limit is intended for tankless domestic hot water---it ensures that boiler water is always warm enough to heat the domestic hot water. Many aquastats also have a differential (\"\"diff\"\") control which determines the size of the range around the \"\"low\"\" and/or \"\"high\"\" controls.

The spur gear can spin separately from the tranny, how much depends on how loosely you have it set.

But after our first ride on the new 2005 Kodiak 450, we were pleasantly surprised. The big change is the addition of IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) to both the Kodiak 400 and the Kodiak 450. High on the list of what previous Kodiak owners love, is the nice \"\"planted\"\" feel that the model has with the straight axle. Some of its competitors with IRS suspension don't have this stable ride, so Yamaha had its work cut out designing a new IRS for the Kodiak, while still maintaining the feel that the Kodiak already had. Yamaha has done a very admiral job achieving this goal. The seat height of the new 2005 Kodiak is only 1/8\"\" taller than the 2004 version, yet the new IRS maintained 7.1 inches of rear wheel travel and a full inch MORE ground clearance - now 10.8 inches. Nice!How does it ride? The new Kodiak IRS Suspension We believe the Kodiak is going to grab even more marketshare in its class. The new IRS on the Kodiak works VERY well."

"text": "\"Cars & Transportation Other - Cars & Transportation So whats a welded diff on a car? What exactly is a welded diff on a car? And how much does it cost to replace them by purchasing the part i guess i varies from car to car so just say a 96 commadore. Follow 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: A differential is the \"\"pumpkin\"\" in the middle of the rear axle of a rear-wheel drive car. It lets the rear wheels rotate at different speeds when you go around a corner. But that also let's one wheel break loose and spin while the other wheel does nothing. That's normally not a problem except on ice or if you want to peel out and leave two rubber tracks instead of one. So guys with muscle cars used to \"\"weld\"\" the differential so they could take off quickly from a standing start and put power down to both wheels. But now the wheels have to rotate at the same speed in a turn (the inside wheel goes a shorter distance), you'll wear your tires out quickly. Cost for a used differential at a junkyard?"

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about communication networks. For the design pattern for business applications, see Differentiated service (design pattern). Differentiated services or Diff Serv is a computer networking architecture that specifies a simple and scalable mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic and providing quality of service (Qo S) on modern IP networks. Diff Serv can, for example, be used to provide low-latency to critical network traffic such as voice or streaming media while providing simple best-effort service to non-critical services such as web traffic or file transfers. Diff Serv uses a 6-bit differentiated services code point (DSCP) in the 8-bit differentiated services field ( DS field) in the IP header for packet classification purposes. The DS field replaces the outdated IPv4 TOS field.

Many of the proposed Qo S mechanisms that allowed these services to co-exist were both complex and failed to scale to meet the demands of the public Internet. In December 1998, the IETF published RFC 2474 - Definition of the Differentiated services field (DS field) in the IPv4 and IPv6 headers, which replaced the IPv4 TOS field with the DS field. In the DS field, a range of eight values (Class Selectors) is used for backward compatibility with the IP precedence specification in the former TOS field."

"text": "How to setup R/C diffs – Setup Guide July 15, 2016 Sylvain Lafrance 9 Comments Thanks for sharing... RC diff oil tuning is very important. Here’s a guide to help you to understand how to set your diffs and how they work. How diffs work: Differentials are part of all buggies, truggies and monster trucks and their designs vary slightly from one vehicle to another. However their action and setup still the same. The center diff is the most important because it transfers power to the front and rear diffs. The front and rear diffs receive the power from the center diff and distribute the power to the left and right wheels. Diffs are also very important when the vehicle is turning. When turning, the outer wheels spin faster than the inner wheels. Without the front and rear diffs, both wheels will be spinning at the same speed making cornering harder and increasing dramatically turning radius. Most of the diffs are composed of four spider gears and two cross pins Understanding what happens: Basically, diff transfers power to one of its outdrive."

Here's why The popularity of four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles has boomed in the last decade. Most mainstream manufacturers have released ‘crossover’ vehicles to take advantage of the public’s obsession with SUVs, but it’s not just traditional SUV and 4×4 vehicles that have contributed to the boom. More and more cars have been offering all-wheel drive drivetrains, from high-performance sports cars to luxury sedans and family-oriented people-movers. But why do manufacturers use different terms? Isn’t four-wheel drive (4WD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) the same thing? Let’s have a look at the different terms in use and what each of them should mean. Subaru all-wheel drive system, with front driveshaft integrated in transmission (Subaru symmetrical AWD)Although each manufacturer tends to use its own name for its chassis systems for branding reasons, we are generally able to separate 4WD/AWD drivetrains into three basic groups: full-time 4WD, part-time 4WD and all-wheel drive."

"title": "http://udel.edu/~mcdonald/mythdimples.html\nCheek dimples: The myth",
"text": "Cheek dimples: The myth Cheek dimples. When some people smile, they have dimples in one or both cheeks. Other people don't have dimples. This is occasionally said to be a simple genetic trait; the myth is that dimples are controlled by one gene with two alleles, and the allele for dimples is dominant. I do not know how the myth got started; I have searched the literature thoroughly, and I have not found any scientific papers with any genetic evidence on cheek dimples. The reality Cheek dimples as a character Dimples vary in how obvious they are. Wiedemann (1990) suggests that their appearance may be affected by circulation, body weight or muscle tone, although he does not cite any evidence for this. He describes several individuals who had dimples as children and lost them by adulthood. This would make it impossible to divide people into two distinct types, having dimples vs. not having dimples. Family studies Winchester (1951) claimed that dimples are dominant to non-dimples, but with the complicating factor of variable expression."

Credit: Office of Biological and Environmental Research of the U. S. Department of Energy Office of Scienceby Regina Bailey Updated September 25, 2017Genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes that contain the instructions for protein production. Scientists estimate that humans have as many as 25,000 genes. Genes exist in more than one form. These alternative forms are called alleles and there are typically two alleles for a given trait. Alleles determine distinct traits that can be passed on from parents to offspring. The process by which genes are transmitted was discovered by Gregor Mendel and formulated in what is known as Mendel's law of segregation. Gene Transcription Genes contain the genetic codes, or sequences of nucleotide bases in nucleic acids, for the production of specific proteins. The information contained within DNA is not directly converted to proteins, but must first be transcribed in a process called DNA transcription. This process takes place within the nucleus of our cells."

"text": "June 07, 2012 / 0 Comments A “How To” guide to Quickly Know Each Type A Summary of Each Type’s Face and Body Characteristics The 7 personality types are determined by observing the physical characteristics of the combined Face and Body features that are used to identify the enduring character and temperament of an individual. These 7 personality types evolved over the centuries through the practice of Physiognomy which is the art of judging human character from facial features and body types. It is not hard to recognize the differences once you learn the guidelines. They will become obvious to you. You must first learn to read and recognize the different facial features and body type combined of a person to determine which of the 7 personality types they match. Then you will be able to further refine your analysis of the person by observing individual facial characteristics that refine each type. It helps if you study the photo examples on the website. Additionally, learning the basics of Palmistry to further refine each type by the shape of the hand and the type of fingers is an area to explore once you decide which personality type is the best fit. They are clues as to where a person falls within the personality type as it is a sliding scale of character traits that need to be refined. For best results in deciding what personality type an individual is: FIRST: If someone is sitting or standing across from you, trust your observation based on the website personality types you reviewed and the 7 Personality Type photos and make a quick assessment of their overall body type, the rest will follow."

Leucism is a genetic variation that causes the partial loss of pigmentation. Japatino/Moment Open/Getty Imagesby Regina Bailey Updated September 04, 2017Definition In genetic variation, the genes of organisms within a population change. Gene alleles determine distinct traits that can be passed on from parents to offspring. Gene variation is important to the process of natural selection. The genetic variations that arise in a population happen by chance, but the process of natural selection does not. Natural selection is the result of the interactions between genetic variations in a population and the environment. The environment determines which variations are more favorable. More favorable traits are thereby passed on to the population as a whole. Genetic Variation Causes Genetic variation occurs mainly through DNA mutation, gene flow (movement of genes from one population to another) and sexual reproduction."

Genetics is the study of biological features -- or traits -- that are inherited from parent to child. The term \"\"genetic characteristics\"\" can refer to a genotype, which is the specific DNA sequence that codes for a trait, or a phenotype, which is how the specific DNA sequence manifests itself in the organism -- often, but not always, the phenotype is how the organism looks. Genetic characteristics are inherited as genes -- molecules of DNA that carry the information for each characteristic. A phenotypic characteristic can be controlled by various forms of one gene, such as for freckles, or can be controlled by various forms of multiple genes working together, such as for skin color. Genes and Their Alleles Some phenotypic characteristics are controlled by just one gene. However, this one gene may have various forms called alleles. Each human possesses two alleles for genes that are on non-sex chromosomes (somatic chromosomes), even if that gene may have multiple alleles that exist in a population of people. For example, one allele makes someone have dimples, while the other allele makes someone have no dimples."

In opposition to autosomal dominant trait, a recessive trait only becomes phenotypically apparent when 2 copies of a gene two alleles are present. In other words, the subject is homozygous for the trait. Technically, the term recessive gene is impresive because it is not the gene that is recessive, but the phentype or trait or alleles. Gene therapy is a promising new field of medical research. Researchers try to supply copies of healthy genes to cells with variant or missing genes., so the \"\"\"\"good genes will take over. Viruses are often used to carry the healthy genes in to the targetted cells; because many viruses can insert their own DNA into targetted cells.

Dimples are one of the most dominant facial traits. Generally, dimples are present or appear on both cheeks, but sometime, a rare form of single dimple appears on one cheek. It is believed that dimples are genetically inherited. Studies have found that the parents having dimples give birth to children having dimples. Anatomically, dimples are caused by the facial muscle called zygomaticus major. Dimples are caused when your facial muscle – zygomaticus major, is shorter than normal; it pulls on your skin and forms the indentation in your facial skin. Cheek dimples are formed by the double or bifid zygomaticus major muscle. Sometimes, dimples are also caused due to the presence of excessive fat on your face."

"text": "The Complex Genetic Architecture Underlying Human Differences November 15, 2012 By Scott H under Health and Traits You’d be forgiven for assuming your height has nothing to do with the curl of your hair or how flexible you are, but physical traits can sometimes have unexpected connections. Last week at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics in San Francisco, 23and Me’s Principal Scientist and Statistical Geneticist Nick Eriksson presented findings from our database about 300 new genetic associations with various physical traits. It’s not surprising that a single trait – having a unibrow, for instance – might be influenced by any number of different genetic variants. In the case of unibrow, we’ve found more than 50 genetic variants associated with the trait. It is also well known that genetic variants can be associated with multiple traits and conditions. For example, variants in the PAX3 gene have independent associations with unibrow, whether you’ve got a chin dimple, or upper back hair. It’s the sheer volume of newly discovered associations that is so surprising. Beyond that, the work is both interesting and informative in what it says about the web of connections between these traits and conditions. These associations shed new light on how genes and gene expression may influence those conditions and traits as well as certain diseases. While there may be some novelty in finding associations with traits like breast size, sometimes these associations tell us something very important."

This means that almost every cell contains two copies of each gene, one from each parent. In most cases, both copies of each gene are used to make protein; once made, the cell can't tell which copy of the gene any given protein molecule came from. Generally, when a biologist is referring to something as dominant or recessive, they're talking about variations of a gene (called alleles), rather than a gene itself. Alleles are alterations to a gene's sequence that sometimes change the function of the protein that it encodes for. Alleles can have many subtle and not so subtle effects relative to the unmodified gene, but for simplicity's sake, I'm just going to talk about three broad classes of effects: recessive alleles, dominant alleles, and dominant-negative alleles. Recessive alleles are usually caused by a loss of function in the protein they encode for. This can be as subtle as a single, critical amino acid being swapped to a different amino acid, or as dramatic as something that causes an early stop codon and thus no protein to be made. If a cell is heterozygous for a loss of function allele (that is, one gene copy makes functional protein and the other one doesn't), it's still making some functional protein and may not behave any differently. However, if both copies are not making functional protein, that protein's activity is completely missing and a behavioral change is likely."

Read on to discover more interesting facts about the amazing Dire Wolf including what their diet was and why their molars were important. Dire Wolf General Facts The Dire wolf lived in many parts of the world from North America to Bolivia but was mainly found in North and South America. Because of bone fragments found in California, it is believed they had a high population there. There are over 136 locations throughout the world where Dire Wolf fossils have been recovered.

[ 1] It is considered the rarest species of wolf and is one of the five most endangered species of wolf in the world. [ 12]Red wolves may have been the first New World wolf species encountered by European colonists, and were originally distributed throughout the eastern United States from the Atlantic Ocean to central Texas, and in the north from the Ohio River Valley, northern Pennsylvania and southern New York south to the Gulf of Mexico. [ 8] The red wolf was nearly driven to extinction by the mid-1900s due to aggressive predator-control programs, habitat destruction, and extensive hybridization with coyotes. By the late 1960s, it occurred in small numbers in the Gulf Coast of western Louisiana and eastern Texas."

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

The park includes tidewater glaciers, snow-capped mountain ranges, ocean coastlines, deep fjords, and freshwater rivers and lakes. Credit: National Park Service The Quaternary Period is a geologic time period that encompasses the most recent 2.6 million years — including the present day. Part of the Cenozoic Era, the period is usually divided into two epochs — the Pleistocene Epoch, which lasted from approximately 2 million years ago to about 12,000 years ago, and the Holocene Epoch, which began about 12,000 years ago. The Quaternary Period has involved dramatic climate changes, which affected food resources and brought about the extinction of many species. The period also saw the rise of a new predator: man. Climate Scientists have evidence of more than 60 periods of glacial expansion interspersed with briefer intervals of warmer temperatures. The entire Quaternary Period, including the present, is referred to as an ice age due to the presence of at least one permanent ice sheet (Antarctica); however, the Pleistocene Epoch was generally much drier and colder than the present time. Although glacial advancement varied between continents, about 22,000 years ago, glaciers covered approximately 30 percent of Earth’s surface. Ahead of the glaciers, in areas that are now Europe and North America, there existed vast grasslands known as the “mammoth steppes.”"

"text": "Laelaps How Cougars Survived the Ice Age Posted Fri, 05/16/2014Extinction can make animals seem stranger than they really are. Consider woolly mammoths. The last of these Ice Age beasts died out about 4,000 years ago, which really does seem like ancient history when compared to the span of a single life. Yet the reality is that 4,000 years is only a bare sliver of geologic time, and if mammoths had survived to the present day they probably wouldn’t seem all that unusual or out of place. After all, that’s how we treat the Ice Age survivors that continue to thrive around us. The reasons mammoths, sabercats, short-faced bears, and other Pleistocene megafauna went extinct is a puzzle that has spawned a surge of scientific papers over the past century. Why other creatures survived through the same extinction pulse has received comparatively little attention. Coyotes, for example, loped around the La Brea asphalt seeps at the same time as Smilodon and still inhabit Hollywood. Cougars are Ice Age survivors, too. They prowled the same landscapes as sabercats and American lions, and, with a range from Canada to almost the southern tip of South America, are among the world’s most successful big cats."

This range has been confirmed through various cave drawings, such as those found by Wright in 1972, and bone collections that have been radiocarbon dated to 180 years before present. Tasmanian wolves are now considered extinct. Thylacines were last known to inhabit Tasmania, where they were hunted to extinction. ( Archer, 1974)Biogeographic Regions australiannative Other Geographic Terms island endemic Habitat Although the preferred habitat of Tasmanian wolves was never thoroughly described, remains have been collected throughout Australasian coastal regions. From colonial times until their extinction, Tasmanian wolves were found throughout Tasmania. They were most often seen in hilly country, resting during the day in forest and scrub, and hunt during the afternoon and evening in bordering thickets. Other descriptions suggest Tasmanian wolves were found in forested areas and grasslands. These observations may not represent the native preferences, though, because Tasmanian wolves were actively persecuted during this time and that may have effected their behavior. The last remaining populations were restricted to dense rainforests in Tasmania."

Photograph: Alamy Dogs are humanity’s oldest friends, renowned for their loyalty and abilities to guard, hunt and chase. But modern humans may owe even more to them than we previously realised. We may have to thank them for helping us eradicate our caveman rivals, the Neanderthals. According to a leading US anthropologist, early dogs, bred from wolves, played a critical role in the modern human’s takeover of Europe 40,000 years ago when we vanquished the Neanderthal locals. “At that time, modern humans, Neanderthals and wolves were all top predators and competed to kill mammoths and other huge herbivores,” says Professor Pat Shipman, of Pennsylvania State University. “ But then we formed an alliance with the wolf and that would have been the end for the Neanderthal. ”If Shipman is right, she will have solved one of evolution’s most intriguing mysteries. Modern humans are known to have evolved in Africa. They began to emigrate around 70,000 years ago, reaching Europe 25,000 years later."

After being listed under the Endangered Species Act in 1976, the United States and Mexico collaborated to capture all lobos remaining in the wild. This extreme measure prevented the lobos' extinction. Five wild Mexican wolves (four males and one pregnant female) were captured alive in Mexico from 1977 to 1980 and used to start a captive breeding program.

"text": "An artist's rendering of an Ice Age mammoth skeleton on display at the Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles Courtesy of the Page Museum/La Brea Tar Pits/Reuters Climate change killed the last mammoths. Hunkered down on their final holdout, Siberia’s Wrangel Island, the shaggy herbivores died out as rising seas shrank their refuge and warm weather baked their cool grasslands. By 3,700 years ago, within the span of written human history, mammoths disappeared. But the real reason there are no more mammoths—and cloning projects aside, the reason we’ll never get to hug an adorable baby mammoth at a petting zoo—is a hotly contested topic. Mammoths wound up hopelessly marooned on a Siberian island in the first place because they were wiped across the rest of their range—an impressively disheartening fact when you realize that the behemoths once trod the widespread “mammoth steppe” grasslands from western Spain through northern Asia to the interior of North America. Explanations for their disappearance have historically involved climate change, “hyperdisease,” comet impact, and hungry humans. Figuring out what happened to mammoths and other lost species is not just an exercise for academic keepers of the dead. If we can understand the mechanics of extinction and how life responds to fluxes like climate change, we might be able to use the dead to look to the future. Just as non-avian dinosaurs were only part of a major mass extinction 66 million years ago, mammoths are but one icon of a deeper loss of biodiversity. The Pleistocene extinction saw the death of much of the world’s most spectacular megafauna (creatures that weighed more than 44 kilograms, or 97 pounds) from Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas."

"text": "\"Science, Tech, Math ›Animals and Nature40 Million Years of Dog Evolution Share Flipboard Email Print Alex Baldetti / Eye Em / Getty Imagesby Bob Strauss Updated August 23, 2017In many ways, the story of dog evolution follows the same plot line as the evolution of horses and elephants: a small, inoffensive, ancestral species gives rise, over the course of tens of millions of years, to the respectably sized descendants we know and love today. But there are two big differences in this case: first, dogs are carnivores, and the evolution of carnivores is a twisty, serpentine affair involving not only dogs, but prehistoric hyenas, bears, cats, and now-extinct mammals like creodonts and mesonychids. And second, of course, dog evolution took a sharp right turn about 15,000 years ago, when the first wolves were domesticated by early humans. ( See a gallery of prehistoric dog pictures)As far as paleontologists can tell, the very first carnivorous mammals evolved during the late Cretaceous period, about 75 million years ago (the half-pound Cimolestes, which lived high up in trees, being the most likely candidate). However, it's more likely that every carnivorous animal alive today can trace its ancestry back to Miacis, a slightly bigger, weasel-like creature that lived about 55 million years ago, or 10 million years after the dinosaurs went extinct. Miacis was far from a fearsome killer, though: this tiny furball was also arboreal and feasted on insects and eggs as well as small animals. Before the Canids: Creodonts, Mesonychids & Friends Modern dogs evolved from a line of carnivorous mammals called \"\"canids,\"\" after the characteristic shape of their teeth. Before (and alongside) the canids, though, there were such diverse families of predators as amphicyonids (the \"\"bear dogs,\"\" typified by Amphicyon, which seem to have been more closely related to bears than dogs), prehistoric hyenas (Ictitherium was the first of this group to live on the ground rather than in trees), and the \"\"marsupial dogs\"\" of South America and Australia. Although vaguely dog-like in appearance and behavior, these predators weren't directly ancestral to modern canines. Even more fearsome than bear dogs and marsupial dogs were mesonychids and creodonts."

Its purpose is to prevent the extinction of our most at-risk plants and animals, increase their numbers and effect their full recovery — and eventually their removal from the endangered list. Currently the Act protects more than 1,600 plant and animal species in the United States and its territories, many of which are successfully recovering. The Act is now in its 42nd year. Over the past four decades, it has repeatedly demonstrated that — when used to the full extent of the law — it works. To date only 10 species protected under the Act have been declared extinct, and of these, eight were likely extinct before they were protected. In other words, the Act has been more than 99 percent successful at preventing extinction. Were it not for the Act, scientists estimate, at least 227 species would have likely gone extinct since the law’s passage."

This article will answer the question where do wolves live. When we talk about wolves, the first image that flashes in our minds is the pack of wolves that raised a 'boy cub' in the fictional story The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Wolves are majestic animals that are very intelligent just as their fictional counterparts. They have a keen sense of smell and hearing. Wolves are the great ancestors of man's best friend dogs. Millions of years ago, these two species had diversified genetically. Wolves are also related to the jackal. Wolves have powerful teeth, bushy tails and round pupils."

Ask a plastic surgeon or dermatologist if you should dermaplane at home and the answer will usually be “no”… (perhaps followed by a “ come see me instead! “) But this isn’t because it’s not safe to do – or that it won’t give you results. It may not give you the exact same results of course: The professionals do it in a way – using a sterile blade or scalpel – that goes a little deeper than you can at home – to the point sometimes there may be tiny blood spots (it’s still superficial so it doesn’t hurt). But the added benefits of getting a professional to do it are questionable…The added cost is not!Professionals will always recommend you see them for treatments (often for good reasons) – however you really can do dermplaning at home with excellent results.

[ 1] [2] They are also called open razors and cut-throat razors. [ 3] [4] [5] The predecessors of the modern straight razors include bronze razors, with cutting edges and fixed handles, produced by craftsmen from Ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom (1569 - 1081 BC). Solid gold and copper razors were also found in Ancient Egyptian tombs dating back to the 4th millennium BC. The first steel-edged cutthroat razors were manufactured in Sheffield in 1680. By the late 1680s, early 1690s, razors with silver-covered handles along with other Sheffield-made products known as \"\"Sheffield wares\"\" were being exported to ports in the Gulf of Finland, approximately 1200 miles from Sheffield. From there, these goods were probably sent to Finland and even Russia. By 1740, Benjamin Huntsman was making straight razors complete with decorated handles and hollow-ground blades made from cast steel, using a process he invented. Huntsman's process was adopted by the French sometime later, albeit reluctantly at first due to nationalist considerations. In England, razor manufacturers were even more reluctant than the French to adopt Huntsman's steel-making process and only did so after they saw its success in France."

"text": "Gillette Mach 3 vs Fusion: The Ultimate Test When it comes to cartridge razors, Gillette really seems to rule the world, as both the Gillette Mach 3 and Gillette Fusion remain amongst the most popular razors on the market. Although those in the know will tell you that a double-edge safety razor or a straight razor (check out our articles on which are the best safety razors and best straight razors ) are the only ways to go if you want a close shave without the irritation, these razors can take a longer time to use so if you are always in a rush, one of these cartridge razors may be right for you. If you are interested in exploring the world of traditional wet shaving, check out the Benefits of Shaving with a Safety Razor and Safety Razor vs. Cartridge articles. So, for those of you who insist on sticking with cartridge razors, you definitely can’t go wrong with either of these two razors. That being said, you’re probably wondering which of the two is better, which is why we’ve come up with a full comparison of Mach 3 vs Fusion to help you decide which is best for you. All You Need to Know About Gillette Cartridge Razors Gillette is definitely one of the world leaders in shaving equipment and has spent millions of dollars researching and developing their various lines of cartridge razors. Although the company’s slogan is “The Best a Man Can Get,” we’ve already discussed in detail how using either a safety or straight razor can give you the closest shave possible without all the irritation. Still, we’re not here to call Gillette out for false advertising—although neither the Mach 3 or Fusion may actually be “the best a man can get,” there is no doubt that they remain head and shoulders above most of the competition when it comes to multiple blade cartridge razors. While a high quality single blade razor may give you the closest shave and cause the least irritation, a high quality multiple blade razor like either the Mach 3 or Fusion can provide nearly as close of a shave if used properly. However, in terms of irritation, most people still experience quite a bit more with either of these razors than they would with a quality single blade razor."

In this picture on the left: Dovo straight razor ( my review / current price on Amazon) and on the right: Edwin Jagger DE89lbl ( My review / current price on Amazon)What the Heck Are They? In all likelihood, you’re probably at least partly familiar with straight razors, as they’re commonly featured in movies and on television; or maybe you saw your grandpa using one as a child. A true straight razor is exactly what the name says, a long straight piece of metal with a razor sharp tip that’s attached to a pivoting handle. In fact, a straight razor actually closer resembles a knife that it does any razor you’re probably used to. Of course, it not only resembles a knife, but cuts like one as well, which is why they’re often referred to as “cutthroat” razors. Straight razors were basically the first type of real razor that was invented and were really the only option for many years until Gillette invented the safety razor around 1900."

Today, I’d like to start with a brief history of shaving, elaborate on the advantages and disadvantages of straight razor shaving, and provide a few tips on where and how to buy a straight-edge razor. Muehle mother of pearl shaving brushes Shaving History The act of shaving probably has its origins in Africa, some 100,000 years ago, back when cavemen began to pluck their facial hair using crude tweezers made of stone or notched seashells. The reasoning behind the sudden desire to rid themselves of their facial hair remains unclear. Whilst some simply see it as a result of the development of the essential tools and techniques required for the activity, others believe it was mainly to get rid of lice and other parasites. Whichever the case might have been, around 30,000 BC men tired of individually plucking out their facial hairs and invented flint blades, which they were able to sharpen sufficiently in order to shave. Shortly after the introduction of flint, some men started using sharpened seashells as blades, though it was not until about 3000 BC, when mankind invented metalworking, that flint faced a serious rival. At around this time, copper-alloy razors appeared in ancient Egypt and India. The Egyptians switched to bronze razors between 1567 and 1320 BC, a big step forward in metallurgy."

But what are the differences between a Traditional and Roth IRA? Think of an IRA as a tax advantaged investment container. When you make a contribution, you are putting funds inside the IRA container. Those funds can then be invested. Any earnings, gains or interest are generally allowed to grow and be reinvested without paying taxes as long as they are inside the IRA container. Visit our UBIT page to see when taxes on IRA earnings may be applicable. When are taxes paid and am I required to withdraw funds at a certain point? Again, think of an IRA as a tax advantaged investment container. Depending on the type of account either the contributions (money put into the IRA) or distributions (money removed from the IRA) may be taxable."

"text": "\"Summary of key Roth IRA features A Roth IRA is an individual retirement arrangement (IRA) described in section 408A of the Internal Revenue Code. A my RA ® is a Roth IRA, so it is subject to the same rules that apply generally to Roth IRAs. Some of the key Roth IRA features are summarized below: Basic tax attributes Amounts can be withdrawn from a Roth IRA at any time, but special tax rules apply. Contributions (the amount you put in) to a Roth IRA are made after-tax and can be made at any time during the calendar year (or by the due date of the owner’s tax return for the year, not including extensions). Because contributions are after-tax, they will not be taxed again when they are distributed (taken out), and these non-taxable contributions will be treated as coming out of the Roth IRA before earnings which may be taxable depending on whether the distribution is qualified. If a distribution is \"\"qualified,\"\" any earnings in the Roth IRA are not taxable when they are distributed. A distribution is \"\"qualified\"\" if it is made at least 5 years after the owner’s first contribution to the Roth IRA (counting from January 1 of the year of the first contribution), and the distribution is made:after the owner is age 59½;for a qualified first-time home purchase (up to $10,000 lifetime limit);after the owner is disabled; orto a beneficiary after the owner’s death or disability. If a distribution is \"\"not qualified,\"\" any earnings in the Roth IRA are taxable. In addition, if the owner is under age 59½, a 10% additional income tax on any earnings will apply unless an exception is available, including exceptions for payments:due to disability or after death;paid at least annually in equal or close to equal amounts over your life or life expectancy (or the lives or joint life expectancy of you and your beneficiary);for qualified higher education expenses;for health insurance premiums after the owner has received unemployment compensation for 12 consecutive weeks;for a qualified first-time home purchase (up to $10,000 lifetime limit);made directly to the government to satisfy a federal tax levy;up to the amount of deductible medical expenses; orthat constitute a qualified reservist distribution, for a member of a reserve component called to duty for more than 179 days. Eligibility for saver’s tax credit Individuals who contribute to a Roth IRA with modified adjusted gross income (AGI) below certain levels for the year may be eligible to claim a saver’s tax credit for their contributions."

"text": "\"Early IRA withdrawals, and the early withdrawal penalty, go on Form 1040. Although individual retirement accounts are supposed to be used for retirement savings, the Internal Revenue Service does allow you to take out money early. But it might cost you extra. Before you can calculate the taxes on your early IRA distribution, you must first figure out how much is actually taxable, which depends on the type of IRA. IRA distributions are taxed as ordinary income, so the rate you'll pay depends on which tax bracket you fall in. In addition to the income taxes, you'll also owe an early withdrawal penalty on the taxable portion of the distribution unless an exception applies. Calculate the taxable portion of your early IRA withdrawal. For traditional IRAs, first figure the tax-free portion by multiplying your distribution by the amount of nondeductible contributions in the IRA, divided by the IRA value. Next, figure the taxable portion by subtracting the tax-free portion from your total distribution. For example, say you have $20,000 of nondeductible contributions in the traditional IRA and it's worth $100,000 at the time of your early distribution."

How to Report IRA Withdrawals on a Tax Return3. How Much Tax for an Early Distribution From a Roth IRAThe Internal Revenue Service discourages early withdrawals from your individual retirement accounts by imposing extra taxes and penalties. For a traditional IRA, early withdrawals are any distributions you take before age 59 1/2. For Roth IRAs, if you don't meet two conditions for a qualified withdrawal -- the account being at least five years old and you being either 59 1/2, permanently disabled or taking out no more than $10,000 to use to buy a first home -- you're taking an early distribution subject to IRS fees. Taxable Portion If you're taking your early withdrawal from a traditional IRA, the taxable portion equals 1 minus the percentage of nondeductible contributions in the account. For example, if nondeductible contributions account for 20 percent of your traditional IRA value, 80 percent of the distribution is taxable. If your traditional IRA doesn't have nondeductible contributions, the entire withdrawal is taxable."

There are several different types of IRAs, including traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. You can set up an IRA with a bank, insurance company, or other financial institution. Traditional IRAs You may be able to deduct some or all of your contributions to a traditional IRA. You may also be eligible for a tax credit equal to a percentage of your contribution. Amounts in your traditional IRA, including earnings, generally aren't taxed until distributed to you. IRAs can't be owned jointly. However, any amounts remaining in your IRA upon your death will be paid to your beneficiary or beneficiaries. To contribute to a traditional IRA, you must be under age 70½ at the end of the tax year. You, and/or your spouse if you file a joint return, must have taxable compensation, such as wages, salaries, commissions, tips, bonuses, or net income from self-employment."

In my post Roth IRA Contribution vs. Emergency Fund Savings, I suggested that people should just fund their Roth IRAs first over an Emergency Fund. Why? If you contribute $5,000 in a Roth IRA, you can take out $5,000 later with no tax or penalty – be it one day later, one week later, or one decade later. For supporting evidence, you will have to wade through IRS Publication 590. First, we head to the Roth IRA section, specifically the subsection called Are Distributions Taxable?. Here, the first sentence states: You do not include in your gross income qualified distributions or distributions that are a return of your regular contributions from your Roth IRA (s)Sounds pretty clear, but let’s keep looking. The next section talks about qualified distributions, like those made after you turn 59.5, which are definitely not taxable.

You might also be liable for a penalty tax if you withdraw from your IRA prematurely. Federal Taxes How much federal tax you have to pay when you take an IRA distribution depends on your marginal tax bracket. The top rate as of 2012 was 35 percent, for jointly filing married couples with taxable incomes above $338,350. The lowest rate was 10 percent, if your joint income was $17,400 or less.

"text": "Splitting After-Tax 401 (k) Distributions For Roth Conversion July 3, 2012 11:01 am 39 Comments CATEGORY: Retirement Planning0Shares A A A0Shares Executive Summary As more and more baby boomers retire, an increasingly popular strategy is to split pre- and after-tax funds in a 401 (k) at retirement, with the goal of rolling over the pre-tax funds into an IRA, and converting the after-tax funds into a Roth IRA, taking advantage of the non-taxable nature of the after-tax contributions. Yet the effectiveness of the strategy is ambiguous at best; recent guidance from IRS Notice 2009-68 would suggest that the approach shouldn’t be allowed at all, and although some esoteric and technical workarounds have been suggested, none have truly been tested or subjected to IRS scrutiny. As a result, while many 401 (k) plans are willing to issue separate checks to accommodate those who wish to try the strategy, and the odds of getting caught are low, caution is still merited about whether the client will really end out with the desired tax treatment. ( Editor’s Note: The details of this article were overwritten by IRS Notice 2014-54, updating the rules on Roth conversions of after-tax 401 (k) distributions. ) The inspiration for today’s blog post is a series of inquiries I’ve received in recent months about the strategy of splitting pre- and after-tax 401 (k) distributions, with the goal of completing a Roth conversion for the after-tax amount, while sending the pre-tax amount for an IRA. For example: Sherry has a $100,000 401 (k) that includes $20,000 of after-tax contributions. Her goal is to move the $20,000 of after-tax contributions to a Roth IRA as a tax-free Roth conversion (since after-tax funds are not taxable when withdrawn or converted), and the remaining $80,000 to a rollover IRA. In the end, the $20,000 Roth IRA will grow tax-free, and the $80,000 rollover IRA will be taxable in the future. Sherry intends to accomplish this by asking the employer to distribute the 401 (k) in two checks: one for the after-tax amounts, which she will roll over to a Roth IRA (by having the check made payable directly to the Roth IRA as a trustee-to-trustee transfer), and the other check for the remaining (pre-tax) amounts which she will roll to her traditional IRA. If the accounts grow until they double, then in the future Sherry will have $40,000 of tax-free Roth funds, and $160,000 of taxable IRA investments."

"text": "Taxable Distributions from Roth IRAs By Kaye A. Thomas Current as of February 11, 2018Here’s what happens when you take a Roth IRA distribution that doesn’t qualify to be tax-free. The basic idea behind Roth IRAs is to take only distributions that qualify for exemption from tax. Inevitably, though, some people will need to take taxable distributions. This page explains how these distributions are taxed, and what circumstances will permit you to avoid the penalty on early distributions. Overview You don’t pay tax on your Roth IRA distributions until you withdraw earnings, and you aren’t considered to be withdrawing earnings from your Roth IRA until the total amount you’ve withdrawn from all your Roth IRAs is greater than the total amount you contributed to all your Roth IRAs, including rollover contributions. If you meet certain requirements, you won’t pay tax when you withdraw earnings. But if you don’t meet those requirements, you’ll have to pay tax on the earnings you withdraw, and you may have to pay a penalty, too. Distributions taxed as ordinary income If your distributions are taxable, you’re required to treat them as ordinary income. You can’t treat them as capital gain, even if the IRA received the earnings as capital gain. Example: You contributed $2,000 to a Roth IRA and invested it in stock."

"text": "\"Roth IRA > Decision Factor s Tax on Social Security Another advantage over the traditional IRABy Kaye A. Thomas Updated March 12, 2006How using a Roth IRA affects the amount of tax you pay on social security benefits. If your income is above certain levels you have to pay tax on a portion of your social security benefit. Certain forms of exempt income are included when you determine how much of your social security benefit is taxable. Nontaxable distributions from a Roth IRA won't affect the tax on your social security benefits, however. Nontaxable Distributions When Congress decided how much tax people should pay on social security benefits, the general idea was that people with higher incomes should pay tax on a bigger portion of the benefit. It seemed fair (to the lawmakers, at least) to include certain types of nontaxable income for this purpose. So when you determine how much of your social security benefit is taxable you have to include the following items: Tax-exempt interest Series EE bond income that's excluded under the education savings bond program Certain otherwise excluded income earned abroad Some people use a shorthand description of this rule, saying you have to include \"\"tax-exempt income\"\" when you figure how much of your social security benefit is taxable. You might wonder, then, if tax-exempt distributions from Roth IRAs would affect the calculation. The answer is no. The only forms of tax-exempt income that affect the tax on your social security benefit are those that are specifically listed in a particular section of the Internal Revenue Code."

"text": "The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 created the Roth IRA, which was made effective for tax years beginning 1998. Prior to 1998, individuals who wanted to fund an IRA could make either a deductible or nondeductible contribution to a Traditional IRA, but distributions from Traditional IRAs are generally treated as ordinary income and may be subject to income tax as well as an additional early-distribution penalty if the withdrawal occurs while the IRA owner is under the age of 59.5. The Roth IRA, on the other hand, allows qualified distributions to be free from tax and penalties. Here we review the tax treatment of Roth IRA distributions. ( For background reading, see Are all my Roth IRA distributions tax free? ) Tutorial: Roth IRAs Defining Qualified Distribution Distributions from a Roth IRA that are not qualified may be subject to income tax and an additional 10% early-distribution penalty. A qualified distribution meets both of the following two categories of requirements:1. It occurs at least five years after the Roth IRA owner established and funded his or her first Roth IRA *.2. It is distributed under one of the following circumstances: The Roth IRA holder is at least age 59.5 when the distribution occurs. The Roth IRA holder becomes disabled before the distribution."

Difference Between a Roth IRA & a TSP Roth Individual retirement accounts encourage you to save up while you're still working by offering tax incentives. Traditional IRAs offer tax-deferred growth, which offers better saving if you expect to pay a lower tax rate in retirement. Roth IRAs, on the other hand, offer after-tax savings, which gives more savings if you expect to pay a higher rate in retirement. The earnings in the Roth IRA will never show up on your tax return, because the profits are sheltered from tax. Contribution Deduction Your traditional IRA contributions must be reported on your tax return using either Form 1040 or Form 1040A. You're always eligible to deduct your traditional IRA contributions, which reduces your taxable income, if neither you nor your spouse participates in an employer-sponsored retirement plan. If either of you does, you can still deduct your contribution if your modified adjusted gross income falls below the annual limits."

Click here for Roth IRA Eligibility rules, or visit these links for current contribution limits or current income limits. Comparing Roth and Traditional IRAs Trying to decide between a Traditional IRA or a Roth IRA? The type of individual retirement account (IRA) you choose can significantly affect your and your family’s long-term savings. So it’s worth understanding the differences between Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs in order to select the best one for you. Here are the key considerations: Income Limits Anyone with earned income who is younger than 70½ can contribute to a Traditional IRA. Whether the contribution is tax deductible depends on your income and whether you or your spouse (if you’re married) are covered by a retirement plan through your job, such as a 401 (k). Click here for details from the IRS. Roth IRAs don’t have age restrictions, but they do have income-eligibility restrictions: Single tax filers, for instance, must have modified adjusted gross incomes of less than $133,000 in 2017 (less than $135,000 in 2018) to contribute to a Roth IRA.

"text": "In the largest settlement with a single American Indian tribe, the Obama administration will pay the Navajo Nation $554 million to settle claims that the U. S. government has mismanaged funds and natural resources on the Navajo reservation for decades. The settlement, to be signed in Window Rock, Ariz., on Friday, resolves a long-standing dispute between the Navajo Nation and the U. S. government, with some of the claims dating back more than 50 years. The sprawling Navajo reservation, located in parts of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, is the largest and most populous Indian reservation, with 14 million acres of trust lands, which are leased for farming, grazing, and oil, gas and other mineral extraction. The land is also leased for businesses, rights-of-way, easements and housing. “This landmark resolution ends protracted and burdensome litigation,” Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a statement provided to The Washington Post on Wednesday. “ This demonstrates the Justice Department’s firm commitment to strengthening our partnerships with tribal nations. ”Under the agreement, the Navajo Nation will dismiss its current lawsuit and forgo further litigation against the U. S. government for its historic management and accounting of Navajo funds and resources held in trust by the government. “The Navajo Nation has worked tirelessly for many years to bring this issue to a close,” said Ben Shelly, president of the Navajo Nation. “ After a long, hard-won process, I am pleased that we have finally come to a resolution on this matter to receive fair and just compensation for the Navajo Nation.” Shelly said the tribe will host town hall meetings across the Navajo Nation to decide how the funds can be used or invested."

The actual trial on those charges, and subsequent removal of an official on conviction on those charges, is separate from the act of impeachment itself. [ 1] Impeachments in Texas begin in the Texas House of Representatives which must cast a majority vote in favor of impeachment. Unlike federal offices, which require formal charges brought against an individual and in most cases criminal charges, the Texas Constitution does not provide specific grounds for impeachment. The specifics are left to the state legislators to determine. [ 2]Impeachments have historically been reserved for cases in which a public official committed a criminal act. The United States Constitution provides that the President of the United States shall only be removed from office upon \"\"Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.\"\" [ 3] In general, impeachments are a rare occurrence. Only 17 federal officers have been impeached since 1776. [ 4]In Texas, two officials have been successfully impeached -- Governor James Ferguson in 1917 and Judge O. P. Carillo in 1975."

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."

The law made it a federal misdemeanor to falsely represent oneself as having received any U. S. military decoration or medal. If convicted, defendants might have been imprisoned for up to six months, unless the decoration lied about is the Medal of Honor, in which case imprisonment could have been up to one year.

State District Judge Jason Cashon immediately sentenced Eddie Ray Routh, 27, to life without possibility of parole in the fatal shootings of Kyle, 38, and friend Chad Littlefield, 35, during the trio’s trip to an outdoor shooting range on Feb. 2, 2013. Routh, a former Marine repeatedly hospitalized and treated for mental illness, confessed to the shootings but pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

"text": "U. S. Grand Jury Indicts Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, on Felony Charges By MANNY FERNANDEZ AUG. 1, 2015Ken Paxton is the first Texas attorney general in more than 30 years to be indicted while in office. Eric Gay/Associated Press HOUSTON — Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas and a former state legislator, has been indicted by a grand jury on charges of securities fraud and of failing to register with the state securities board, officials said. The grand jury in the northern Dallas suburb of Mc Kinney handed up a three-count indictment against Mr. Paxton on Tuesday, the officials said. The indictment is to be unsealed on Monday, when Mr. Paxton is expected to turn himself in to the authorities at the Collin County Jail. The charges — two counts of first-degree securities fraud and one count of third-degree failure to register — are tied to Mr. Paxton’s work soliciting clients and investors for two companies while he was a member of the Texas House of Representatives, before he was elected attorney general in November. In the most serious charges, first-degree securities fraud, Mr. Paxton is accused of misleading investors in a technology company, Servergy Inc., which is based in Mc Kinney, his hometown. He is accused of encouraging the investors in 2011 to put more than $600,000 into Servergy while failing to tell them he was making a commission on their investment, and misrepresenting himself as an investor in the company, said Kent A. Schaffer, one of the two special prosecutors handling the case. The group of investors were Mr. Paxton’s friends and included a colleague in the Texas House, Representative Byron Cook. Mr. Schaffer said Mr. Paxton’s role in misleading the investors had come to light in an investigation by members of the Texas Ranger Division."

Let efile.com help once you answer a few simple questions, we will select the correct form (s) for you and assist you with filling them out. Read on for more information on the different types of dividends. What Are Dividends? The most common dividends are the distributions of profit that a corporation pays to its shareholders. Dividends are most frequently distributed as cash, but they may also come in the form of stocks, stock options, debt payments, property, or even services. Payments from mutual funds may also be dividends. A mutual fund is an investment company that buys and sells assets to earn profit for itself and its investors. The portions of the profit passed on to investors are dividends, unless the assets were held long enough for the profits to be considered capital gains. Partnerships and S-corporations may also pay out dividends."

Understanding how to take full advantage of these deductions can help minimize the amount you pay in taxes. The IRS lets you deduct certain investment expenses incurred on your taxable investments. Check with your tax professional to make sure you’re taking full advantage of miscellaneous investment-related itemized deductions, investment interest expenses, and capital losses. Miscellaneous investment-related itemized deductions. Miscellaneous itemized deductions are generally limited to the amount of expenses over and above 2% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). In other words, there’s a floor below which you lose the ability to deduct. For example: Say your AGI is $75,000 and you have $3,000 in miscellaneous itemized deductions. Your 2% AGI floor is therefore $1,500 (2% of $75,000)."

The amount of dividend and capital gain distributions will be reported on year-end account statements (mailed in January) and on Form 1099-DIV. When dividends and distributions are paid, the share price of the fund declines by the amount of the per share distribution to shareholders. The charts and pricing on various internet sites do not adjust for these distributions. As a result, price declines will generally be misrepresented as an absolute decline on the charts even though there has been no change in the total return of the fund. This is not unique to mutual funds; the same discrepancy can happen with common stocks. A list of FAQs on mutual fund distributions is listed below. Please contact us with additional questions.

Lasser Intermediate Exchange-Traded Funds If you own shares of an exchange-traded fund (ETF), you may receive distributions in the form of dividends. These may be paid monthly or at some other interval, depending on the ETF. It's important to know that not all dividends are treated the same from a tax perspective. Types of dividends There are 2 basic types of dividends issued to investors of ETFs: Qualified dividends: These are dividends designated by the ETF as qualified, which means they qualify to be taxed at the capital gains rate, which depends on the investor’s modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) and taxable income (the rates are 0%, 15%, 18.8%, and 23.8%). These dividends are paid on stock held by the ETF, which must own them for more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date. Moreover, the investor must own the shares in the ETF paying the dividend for more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date. This means if you actively trade ETFs, you probably can't meet this holding requirement. Nonqualified dividends: These dividends are not designated by the ETF as qualified because they might have been payable on stocks held by the ETF for 60 days or less. Consequently, they're taxed at ordinary income rates."

"text": "Print Taxation of dividends There are three types of dividends you can receive from your corporation: an “eligible” dividend, a regular dividend (also referred to as an “ineligible” dividend) or a capital dividend (capital dividends are received tax-free). Eligible-dividend rules These rules apply to certain dividends paid after 2005 by corporations resident in Canada to shareholders resident in Canada. Dividends and individuals For 2016, dividends designated as eligible dividends are subject to a dividend gross-up of 38% and a federal dividend tax credit equal to 20.73% of the actual dividend. Eligible dividends taxed at the top marginal rate are subject to federal income tax of 24.81% in 2016. Taxable dividends from Canadian resident corporations that are not designated as eligible dividends are ineligible (or regular) dividends. For 2016, these dividends are subject to a 17% dividend gross-up and a federal dividend tax credit equal to 10.52% of the grossed-up taxable dividend. Ineligible dividends taxed at the top marginal rate are subject to federal income tax of 26.30% in 2016. The gross-up and dividend tax credit mechanisms are intended to maintain integration of the tax system (see topic 148). The provinces all have their own dividend tax credit rates (refer to the individual tax tables for a comparison of the top marginal eligible and ineligible dividend rates by province). As a result of the dividend gross-up and tax credit mechanism, dividends are taxed more favourably than most other types of income (except for capital gains)."

Follow Christine on Twitter: @christine_benz. Contact Author | Meet other investing specialists Answer: You're right--there's a lot to like about dividends. In an uncertain economic environment, a company's ability to show investors the money is an important indication of its financial wherewithal. In a period of ultralow interest rates like the current one, many dividend-paying stocks offer higher yields than bonds as well as the ability to increase those dividends over time. That gives dividend payers a better shot at combating inflation over the long haul than most bonds, whose fixed coupon payments might be gobbled up by inflation."

One such situation, where provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961 are to be read in consonance with the provisions of Double taxation avoidance agreement is in the case of an investment by an Indian Individual (ordinarily resident in India) in the shares of a Foreign Company. An Investment by an Indian Individual in shares of a Foreign Company may result in following types of Incomes:on dividend received from such investment made in Spain? Income, as Capital Gains, by way of transfer of such shareholding in Foreign Company RELEVANT LEGAL PROVISIONS AND OBSERVATIONSAs per the provisions of Income Tax, taxability of an Individual depends upon his/her days of residence in India. As per Section 6 of the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961, which defines residence in India for the Taxation purposes, the Indian Individual in present case is ordinarily resident in India. Section 4 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides for Charge of Income Tax on the \"\" Total Income\"\". Further, Section 5 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides for \"\" Scope of Total Income \"\" in case of an individual ordinarily resident in India. As per the said section, all income received or is deemed to receive in India, accrues or arises or is deemed to accrue or arise in India or accrues or arising outside India, during a previous year from all sources in included and hence liable to taxation. However, Section 10 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 provides for Incomes which do not form part of Total Income. Section 10 (34) of Income Tax Act, 1961 provide exemption to income received by way of dividend only from a domestic company in the hands of the recipient, however all income received by way of dividend from a foreign company is liable to be taxed in India."

Over time, investing in dividend-paying stocks has produced greater returns than investing in their non-dividend-paying peers. However, dividend stock investing isn't without its drawbacks. If you receive income in the form of dividends, you could end up with a bigger-than-expected bill at tax time. To avoid such an unwelcome surprise, it pays to plan ahead. So, with that in mind, here are the IRS' dividend tax rates for 2017. IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES. Uncle Sam's share The IRS considers dividend payments to be taxable income, and therefore taxpayers must include any dividend income on their tax return. How much you'll pay in tax on that income will depend on your overall income and whether or not the dividends are qualified or unqualified.

"text": "Tax Benefits of Qualified Dividends February 22, 2015 by Jon Tweet Share Share Share Dividends tend to get lumped as one single form of investment income. But the IRS doesn’t see it that way, dividing the tax on dividends into two types: ordinary and qualified dividends. This is good to know around tax time. But it’s just as important when choosing investments for a taxable account,since taxes are another cost that eat into your returns. Ordinary Dividends First, all dividends are considered ordinary dividends. The problem, of course, is how we loosely use the term dividends to describe any type of payout from stocks, mutual funds, savings accounts, or other investments. Sometimes that “dividend” is actually interest income or a capital gains distribution. To get more specific, ordinary dividends are paid out of earnings and profits. These are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. This isn’t very efficient as your income climbs into the higher brackets."

"text": "\"Exempt Interest Distributions By Kaye A. Thomas Updated February 4, 2008Tax rules that apply to exempt interest distributions you may receive from a mutual fund. Some mutual funds are established to provide a way to invest in municipal bonds and other securities that produce tax-exempt interest. Distributions from these mutual funds are usually composed mainly of tax-exempt interest. Under the special tax rules for mutual funds, you should treat the tax-exempt interest portion of your dividend the same as if you received the tax-exempt interest directly. At one time mutual funds did not report exempt interest on an IRS form, but this item is now reported on Form 1099-INT. Although these dividends are generally tax-free, you can't simply ignore them: Your dividend from this type of mutual fund isn't necessarily entirely tax-exempt. You may have to report part of your dividend as ordinary income or capital gain. Exempt interest dividends must be reported on your income tax return. These dividends may affect the amount of tax you pay on your social security income. Exempt interest dividends may affect your deduction for investment interest expense and other investment expenses."

"text": "What is an 'Exempt-Interest Dividend'An exempt-interest dividend is a distribution from a mutual fund that is not subject to federal income tax. Exempt-interest dividends are often associated with mutual funds that invest in municipal bonds. While exempt-interest dividends are not subject to federal income tax, they may still be subject to state income tax or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). The dividend income must be reported on the income tax return, and it is reported by mutual funds on Form 1099-INT. Next Up IRS Publication 564: Mutual Fund ... Nontaxable Dividends Equity Income Dividend BREAKING DOWN 'Exempt-Interest Dividend'An exempt-interest dividend is a payment from a mutual fund that is not subject to federal income tax. Individuals with high net worths are more likely to use municipal bonds and funds because the tax savings outweigh the lower returns provided by the investments. The tax benefits provided by the investments, including exempt-interest dividends, are lost if the investments are held in an IRA. This is because all dividends and interest within an IRA are considered tax-exempt. Example of an Exempt-Interest Dividend For example, Bill and Buffy Blankenmeier are high net worth investors. They are looking for ways to reduce their federal tax bill."

"text": "Earning qualified dividends will significantly reduce your income tax bill compared to earning dividends that are fully taxable. The characteristics -- and tax consequences -- of dividends paid by a particular exchange traded fund depend on the type of securities owned by the fund. Qualified Dividends Internal Revenue Service rules state that dividends from U. S. and foreign corporations qualify for lower income tax rates for investors who earn the dividends. Qualified dividends are dividends earned from owning stock. The tax status of dividends paid by an ETF is determined by the type of securities held by the fund. To pay qualified dividends, an ETF must own stock paying qualified dividends. Bonds pay interest so a bond fund does not pay qualified dividends. Types of Bond ETFs The tax nature of a bond ETF depends on the type of bonds in which the ETF invests. The types of bond ETFs include Treasury bond funds, government bond funds, foreign bond funds, corporate bond funds and municipal bond funds. The dividends paid by each type of fund will carry the tax consequences of the type bonds owned in the fund."

Let efile.com help once you answer a few simple questions, we will select the correct form (s) for you and assist you with filling them out. Read on for more information on the different types of dividends. What Are Dividends? The most common dividends are the distributions of profit that a corporation pays to its shareholders. Dividends are most frequently distributed as cash, but they may also come in the form of stocks, stock options, debt payments, property, or even services. Payments from mutual funds may also be dividends. A mutual fund is an investment company that buys and sells assets to earn profit for itself and its investors. The portions of the profit passed on to investors are dividends, unless the assets were held long enough for the profits to be considered capital gains. Partnerships and S-corporations may also pay out dividends."

In contrast, ordinary dividends that do not qualify for this tax preference are taxed at an individual's normal income tax rate. [ 1]Qualified dividends were enacted in the The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. The Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005, extended the low qualified dividend tax rates until the end of 2010. The Tax Relief Act enacted in December 2010 extended qualified dividends through 2012. The American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) extended qualified dividends for the years beyond 2012. Qualified dividends must meet the following requirements [1] : The dividend must have been paid by an American company or a qualifying foreign company. The dividends are not listed with the IRS as dividends that do not qualify. The required dividend holding period has been met. ["

"text": "\"Why are dividends the best form of payment for contractors? If you are contracting and running a limited company, the most advantageous way to take your income is via dividends, which are the division of profits among shareholders. If setup correctly, taking mostly dividends rather than a salary will mean you pay less tax as a contractor. In the current tax climate, dividend income is the most advantageous form of profit distribution for small limited companies from a tax point of view. Low salary and high dividends The best tax strategy as a consultant is to take the lowest possible salary, because salary payments are taxed with PAYE and National Insurance contributions. To do this you calculate your company gross profit, apply corporation tax, and then dividend up the net profit (or shareholders funds) among the shareholders according to the rules set up by your company's articles. When can you take dividends from a limited company? You can distribute dividends at any time. You just have to have money in the bank account to do so. But, beware, at the end of your tax year you must ensure that the total of all your dividends taken have been covered by profits earned by the company after all expenditure (including salaries) and corporation tax."

"text": "\"New tax year for trusts, trustees and beneficiaries Author (s): Barbara Gardener Published Date: 13 April 2016Last Updated: 22 September 2017Although the March 2016 Budget did not include any specific announcements in relation to trusts, the announced changes to the capital gains tax (CGT) rates, with effect from 6 April 2016, do of course affect trustees as much as any other taxpayer. In addition to the CGT changes, the key tax changes taking effect from 6 April 2016 are those announced in 2015 and which relate to income tax, namely the introduction of the personal savings allowance (PSA) and dividend allowance, as well as gross payments of interest from banks and building societies and the new dividend tax rates coupled with the abolition of the dividend tax credits. This month we will review all of these changes and consider how they may affect trustees' decisions, in particular in relation to the investment of trust funds. First a brief refresher of some basic rules, then the details. As always tax considerations depend on the type of trust under consideration. The Basics Bare trusts For income tax and CGT bare trusts are generally ignored unless (for income tax purposes only) the parental settlor provisions apply. This means that under a non-parental bare trust all income and, under any bare trust, all capital gains are assessed on the beneficiary at the beneficiary's tax rate (s). The PSA and the dividend allowance are available as well as the full annual CGT exemption. Discretionary trusts Trustees of discretionary trusts have a standard rate tax band (SRB) of £1,000. Income within the SRB is taxed at basic rate only."

"text": "\"Study: California Has Highest Dividend Tax Burden By Ali Meyer | March 20, 2014 | 7:07 AM EDType=\"\"node\"\" title=\"\"fatcat (CNSNews.com) - The United States places a heavy tax burden on dividend income, leading to “lower savings, less investment and lower living standards for all,” says a recent study from the Tax Foundation. The study found that the average combined federal and state top marginal tax rates on dividends paid to individuals in the United States is 28.6 percent--the ninth highest in the 34-nation Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). And taxpayers in five states face combined top marginal rates far higher than the OECD average. In fact, only five OECD countries had a higher top marginal tax rate on individual dividend income than California, Hawaii, New York, Oregon and Minnesota. The Tax Foundation argues that reducing the dividend tax burden will lead to faster economic growth, higher wages, and better living standards. The ten U. S. states with the highest combined federal, state, and local top marginal tax rates on personal dividend income are: California, 33.0 percent; Hawaii, 31.6 percent; New York, 31.5 percent; Oregon, 31.0 percent; Minnesota, 30.9 percent; D. C., 30.4 percent; Vermont, 30.4 percent; New Jersey, 30.4 percent; Maryland, 30.3 percent; and Maine, 29.8 percent. The ten states at the lowest end of the scale are: Washington, 25.0 percent; Nevada, 25.0 percent; Alaska, 25.0 percent; Texas, 25.0 percent; South Dakota, 25.0 percent; Florida, 25.0 percent; Wyoming, 25.0 percent; North Dakota, 26.3 percent; Pennsylvania, 26.8 percent; and Alabama, 27.4 percent. The report noted that most states tax personal dividend income as ordinary income, which means that states with high income tax rates also have the highest taxes on personal dividends. Dividends are payments made by a corporation to an individual who owns that corporation’s stock. Corporations distribute these dividends to investors from their after-tax profits."

This report updates OLR Report 2011-R- 0319. SUMMARYConnecticut ' s DUI law consists primarily of two statutes, CGS §§ 14-227a and -227b. The first prohibits a person from driving (1) while “under the influence” of alcohol or drugs or (2) with an “elevated” blood alcohol content (BAC). A person is under the influence if his ability to drive is affected to an appreciable degree. The maximum allowable BAC depends on the driver ' s age and the type of vehicle he or she is operating. Under the second statute, CGS § 14-227b, motorists implicitly consent to be tested for drugs or alcohol when they drive. The law establishes administrative license suspension procedures for drivers who refuse to submit to a test or whose test results indicate an elevated BAC. ( These provisions are called “implied consent” and “administrative per se ,” respectively. ) Drivers over age 21 have an elevated BAC if it is found to be .08% or more."

"text": "Location: DRUNK DRIVING; Scope: Connecticut laws/regulations; Court Cases; Background;July 17, 20122012-R-0279CONNECTICUT DUI LAWBy: Paul Frisman, Principal Analyst You asked about Connecticut laws on driving under the influence (DUI) and related offenses. This report updates OLR Report 2011-R- 0319. SUMMARYConnecticut ' s DUI law consists primarily of two statutes, CGS §§ 14-227a and -227b. The first prohibits a person from driving (1) while “under the influence” of alcohol or drugs or (2) with an “elevated” blood alcohol content (BAC). A person is under the influence if his ability to drive is affected to an appreciable degree. The maximum allowable BAC depends on the driver ' s age and the type of vehicle he or she is operating. Under the second statute, CGS § 14-227b, motorists implicitly consent to be tested for drugs or alcohol when they drive. The law establishes administrative license suspension procedures for drivers who refuse to submit to a test or whose test results indicate an elevated BAC. ( These provisions are called “implied consent” and “administrative per se ,” respectively. ) Drivers over age 21 have an elevated BAC if it is found to be .08% or more."

"text": "Home / TICKETS AND VIOLATIONS / DMV Point System DMV Point System NY DMV Point System Getting the highest points you can is great – until it pertains to your driving record, which is when these points begin to hurt you. When you obtain traffic tickets, convictions, violations, and such, the New York DMV issues points that are applied to your license, but that doesn't go for all tickets or citations, and some of these points can be removed. Other points, however, can be costly for you and may not be able to be removed until expiration if any – which means that they will continue to mark your driver's record through time. You should definitely understand the New York DMV point system, as it will identify you by violations committed, especially if you commit many during a shorter amount of time. If you are a driver that presents greater risk to the rest of the drivers in the state, these points will determine such so you aren't given further opportunities to put more drivers at risk. If you try to drive safely and still end up with a couple tickets, you aren't likely to lose your license, but once you commit several violations, the DMV will take notice and action, which could be license suspension, revocation, or permanent loss. However, while those who obtain multiple tickets in a short time are heavily penalized, those who reach two tickets can be fined the “Driver Responsibility” fee of $100 or more for three consecutive years – something you want to avoid if possible. How Points Affect Your Insurance Getting automobile insurance is a must before you can legally drive in any state. If you have a great deal of points from the New York DMV, you will also garner points with the New York insurance companies that provide automobile insurance – which can be a different point system entirely. All in all, you are assessed by risk according to the points the DMV has on record for you, which will determine your points with the insurance provider – after which point you will find that your insurance premiums raise considerably with the higher points you receive."

"text": "\"Certain vehicle registration fees are deductible. That pesky vehicle registration notice has come around once again, meaning it's time to write a check to the DMV just for the privilege of putting your wheels on the public roads. The small consolation prize associated with the annual tag-and-license ritual is the possibility of claiming your registration fee as a deduction on your federal tax return. Itemizing In order to deduct any taxes or fees, including an auto registration fee, you need to itemize deductions. That means listing the deductions individually on Schedule A, Line 7, and then carrying the total over to your Form 1040. You can't take the standard deduction and then add registration fees. The IRS recommends comparing your itemized deductions to the standard deduction; if the sum of your itemized deductions is less than the standard deduction, you're better off just taking the standard deduction and dispensing with Schedule A. Limitations The IRS places car-registration fees in the category of a \"\"personal property tax,\"\" which is deductible under some conditions. You can deduct the fee as along as it is figured as a percentage of your car's value. The higher the value, in these cases, the higher the registration cost, and the more valuable the deduction. The registration must also be assessed once a year, even if you are allowed to pay in installments."

Transit authorities have slapped a $330,000 fine against the operators of the Fas Trak toll system. The $330,000 penalty for bad customer service merely scratches the surface of what 7 On Your Side has uncovered. Thousands of drivers are getting hit with penalties -- most on the Golden Gate Bridge, where you no longer pay a toll taker. And if you don't have a Fas Trak account, you may be in for a fight.

California and majority of other states do not offer any grace time to car owners. Late payments of annual registration fees lead to penalties. The more you delay your renewal payment, the higher will be the fine amount. It is in your best interest to understand the annual renewal registration late fees and penalties. Expiration Date Carefully check the registration card for the exact date of registration expiry to avoid the late penalty charges. Within 60 days before the expiration date, if you do not get a billing notice for the renewal fees, you should immediately contact the DMV to find out the renewal charges. Late penalty fines are charged in addition to the outstanding fee as well. Calculation of Late Renewal Penalty Charges If your renewal registration fee is overdue by 10 days or less, a fine of 10 percent of the total annual outstanding vehicle license fee, plus 10 percent of the annual weight fee if applicable, is charged along with the original renewal fee. If the amount is overdue by more than 11 days but less than 30 days, a fine of 20 percent of the vehicle license fee and 20 percent of the weight fee is charged."

Possible ramifications include the issues of child care and visitation rights for the man in question. Donor Dads - If a child is that of a sperm donor and has a desire to locate its biological father, a DNA paternity test can confirm their research if they believe they have located their alleged father. Fathers’ rights - If a father is being denied access to a child on the grounds that the mother claims it not to be his, he can get legal access to that child if his relationship is proven by a DNA paternity test.

"text": "\"How do I get my child's deceased father's name on her birth certificate?by Free Advice staff In order to have a father listed on a birth certificate, if his name was not added at the child's birth, you must prove paternity to the court. In a case where the father is available and willing to state that he is the child's father, this may not be a complex process. However, in a situation where the father is deceased, proving paternity will be more difficult. Basically, in the majority of states, even with the family of the father on your side, you will have to legally prove that the deceased was the father of the child before you can add his name to the birth certificate in order to receive social security benefits. Proving the paternity of a deceased person means you will have to show proof through a DNA test. Getting a DNA test on a deceased person will probably have to be done through a genetic testing agency. There are several agencies located across the country, and you should be able to find one willing to help you, particularly if the father's family is on board. Their consent will be needed for any DNA testing on the deceased himself, and they may also be able to offer some type of alternative such as hair or other personal items belonged to the father that can be tested, or a DNA test on a living relative. Once paternity is established via DNA paternity testing, you will be able to petition the court to have the father's name added to the birth certificate. At this point, the children may be able to collect social security benefits based on having a deceased father."

Click here What Is a Paternity Test? A Paternity Test uses scientific evidence including blood or DNA tests to determine paternity, or a parental relationship between a father and child. Paternity tests are most commonly used in relation to custody and child support hearings. However, they are sometimes used in other situations such as in a family-based immigration claim. A man is presumed to be the father of a child if he was married to the mother. If the marriage was terminated, the man is still presumed to be the father’s child if the child is born within 300 days of the termination. However, these presumptions can be rebutted (disproved) through clear and convincing evidence, such as a paternity test. A man usually only has a certain amount of time after childbirth to contest paternity. Read more information here: Father's Rights - Contesting Paternity What Is a Legal Paternity Test?"

Paternity lawsuits are usually filed by a man seeking to prove or disprove his paternity of a child or by a woman attempting to legally establish that a man is the biological father of her child. Sometimes a child's court-appointed guardian or a social services agency will file a paternity lawsuit. The forms to file for a paternity lawsuit vary by state, but there are some similarities. History Before the late 20th century, determining the biological father of a child was reliant on the mother's testimony, a man's admission of paternity or findings by court investigations. In the late 20th century, scientific tests were devised in which cell samples taken from a mother and a possible biological father could be matched against cell samples taken from the child. Such DNA testing can determine with 99 percent accuracy if a man is a child's biological father. Courts frequently order DNA tests as part of a paternity lawsuit.

Miller Top© 2006 Cleveland Plain Dealer February 2, 2006 — The Ohio Supreme Court upheld a state law Wednesday that gives men unlimited time to use DNA proof that they are not biological fathers, which means they could stop paying child support. Previously, men had one year to challenge support orders with DNA. The law removing the time limit, enacted by the General Assembly in 2000, was challenged by the Cuyahoga County Prosecutors Office. Thousands of the 685,000 child support orders in Ohio could be overturned, sending mothers and child support enforcement agencies searching for the real fathers. An estimated one-fourth to one-third of DNA paternity tests nationwide result in men learning that they are not the fathers, according to the American Association of Blood Banks, which monitors the laboratories doing the tests. In Cuyahoga County in the last five years, an average of 120 men a year sought DNA tests. About 40 a year had their child support orders dismissed. ["

I was dating a girl, who got pregnant while we were dating. I was skeptical about the baby belonging to me because she told me her due date was at the end of April and she had the baby 4 weeks early in March and he was 7 lbs. I wanted to do the right thing, so I signed the Birth certificate. He was named a Junior. The baby doesn't resemble me at all and none of his features are resembling my features I had as a baby. My family told me that he is not mine. I want to know how do I go about taking my name off the birth certificate after getting a paternity test and how do I go about getting the baby's name changed from my Junior.07-05-2006, 02:55 PM #2aaron Administrator Join Date Mar 2005Location Michigan Posts 28,901Re: Remove father's name from birth certificate and change of baby's name It is easy to do a DNA test if you have access to the child. There are numerous private companies which will send you a kit by mail for taking cheek swabs from both you and the child, which you then return for testing. There will also be local clinics and hospitals which offer DNA testing services - check the yellow pages."

"text": "Paternity Test Faq Can you perform a paternity test if the alleged father is deceased? Yes, depending on the type of specimen available, or members of the family within the paternal line that are willing to participate in a DNA test. If an autopsy was performed at the time of the alleged father’s death, the medical examiner may have a blood stain card, which would contain his DNA. The family member with power of attorney would need to request that the blood stain card be released to the laboratory for testing. In cases where there are no direct specimens available for the alleged father, other types of family relationship DNA tests may provide the information needed to establish paternity, especially when you need to seek social security or other benefits, or for inheritance purposes. The rule of thumb is the closer the family members are to the alleged father within the family tree, and/or the more paternal family members that participate, the stronger the probability of relationship, which is critical when seeking legal admissibility and acceptance for these reasons. Ask your local medical assistant about grandpaternity testing and other possible DNA tests. Can I receive a copy of the paternity test results when I am the biological mother of the child? Any participant in a DNA test, or legal guardian of a participant have rights to a copy of the test results unless they relinquish those rights and it’s documented on the chain-of-custody form at the time of collection, and all parties acknowledge and sign that they agree. Can I make payments on my paternity test?"

Testing on DNA from fetal cells in maternal blood has been highly validated by the scientific community during many years as well as by a number of DNA diagnostic laboratories ( see references ).

The Center was the first company in the world that offers a non-invasive prenatal paternity test to the general public in year 2001. How many weeks pregnant am I? For our testing purposes the mother is required to be at least 10 weeks gestation for Prenatal Gender testing and for Prenatal Paternity testing. If you are unsure of the exact date of conception, please add 2-3 weeks after the date of your last menstrual cycle. Where will I go to have my blood drawn? We will arrange for the mother's blood to be drawn at local laboratory or hospital. There may be a blood collection fee associated with the blood draw and usually range from $20-$50."

"text": "DCS Child Support About Us Paternity Paternity Simply put, paternity means fatherhood. Establishing paternity gives a child a legal father. It also gives the father both rights and obligations related to helping take care of his child. It is important for the child to know who they are. By knowing both parents, a child gains a sense of identity and belonging. Both parents have the right to establish a healthy relationship with their child (ren) and a responsibility to care for their child (ren). Making the relationship legal from the beginning provides a greater opportunity for a healthy relationship and insures the father's rights to a relationship with his child. Legal fathers have all of the same parental rights and responsibilities as the mother, including the right to seek custody or parenting time. Parents and their children should know about potentially inherited health problems. Establishing paternity provides the child a greater likelihood of having access to this information."

"text": "Paternity Actionsby Free Advice staff A paternity or parentage action is a legal proceeding in which a man is officially deemed to be the father of a minor child. Paternity suits are filed for a variety of reasons. It may be commenced by an alleged father seeking custody or visitation, a mother seeking child support, a child seeking to establish a parental relationship or the state seeking reimbursement for public assistance. Only a person or entity with standing can file a paternity action. Standing simply refers to a party’s justification for filing a suit. With some exceptions, only four main parties have standing to file a paternity action: a mother, an alleged (or putative) father, the child, or the state. A paternity action begins with the filing of a petition or a complaint (often referred to as a Complaint to Establish Paternity or a suit affecting a parent child relationship). A petition should set out why the party believes a particular man is the father of the child as the subject of the suit. Some states have enacted laws to create presumptions regarding paternity. Presumptions are assumptions the law makes regarding relationships."

The first step is to gather the facts at a paternity interview with the Child Support Division. Understandably, many of the questions during the interview may be personal and are strictly confidential. These questions will include details about the relationship between the mother and the alleged father, the pregnancy, the birth of the child, any history of violence between the mother and alleged father, and the mother’s employment and birth expenses. A photograph of the alleged father with the child is helpful as well as any other evidence of acknowledgment of the child, such as through letters or gifts. Before a child support order can be established for a child, the alleged father must either admit or be proven to be the child's father."

The Basics In Share Point, a library can hold, with a few restrictions, any type of document.

You can change this to a custom template in the Document Library Settings, “Advanced Settings” page (below). Any standard Microsoft Office document can be used as a template. As of Office 2007, this will most likely be “template” extension (*.dotx for Word, *.xltx for Excel and *.potx for Powerpoint) or a normal document (*.docx, *.xlsx or *.pptx).

DOCM files are similar to DOCX files (Default MS Word format) and can contain various elements such as images, drawn objects, tables, links to websites and to other local files and also feature a wide variety of text formatting options and styles. They are based on the Open XML format which stores all content in a zipped archive. The archive contains XML and RELS files stored in three separate folders named â€�\"\"doc Propsâ€, â€�\"\"word†and \"\"_rels\"\". Files with the RELS extension dictate how the parts of the document connect to form a single file. This archived approach makes file content more accessible. For example images and text are stored individually within the archive. What separates DOCM files from DOCX files is the possibility of embedding macros into the document's structure. This is done via the Macro Recorder included in MS Office which can be used to save command sequences and create macros that can replicate them automatically. How to open DOCM files The contents of a DOCM file can be extracted individually by opening it with a data compression application (i.e. Win Zip or Win RAR)."

"text": "Free Software & Services Office Software Libre Office Review Share Flip Pin Email By Stacy Fisher Updated April 03, 2018Libre Office is a free Microsoft Office alternative, complete with spreadsheet, database, presentation, and word processor programs. With support for the major file types used by MS Office programs like Word, Excel, Access, and Power Point, this free office suite should work for just about anyone. More About Libre Office Libre Office includes the following in its program suite: Base (Access), Calc (Excel), Impress (Power Point), and Writer (Word). In addition to already-mentioned MS Office alternatives, Libre Office also installs Draw, a graphics and diagram tool, and Math, a formula editor. The Pros Works with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems Automatic spell check in all parts of the suite Writer can open all the same file types MS Word can open Calc and Impress support many of the same file formats as Excel and Power Point Supports templates and extensions to add more features A portable version is available The Cons Database files like ACCDB and MDB can not be used with Libre Office Unable to save files as Power Point/Excel/Word macro-enabled files Libre Office can't save files as MS Office template files Must install the whole suite at once (can't install just Writer, etc. ) Libre Office File Formats Libre Office fully supports the following file types, meaning that you can open and save back to these formats: CSV, DBF, DIF, DOC, DOCX, DOT, FODS, FODT, HTML, ODG, ODP, ODS, ODT, OTP, OTS, OTT, POT, POTM, PPSX, PPT, PPTX, RTF, SLK, STC, STW, SXC, SXI, SXW, TXT, UOP, UOS, XLS, XLSX, XLT, XMLAs you can see, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX, popular formats found in Microsoft's Office programs, are all fully supported in Libre Office. The file formats below can be opened with one of Libre Office's programs but can not be saved back to the same format. You'll need to choose a format listed above to save one of these file types to after opening:123, 602, ABW, BMP, CFR, CGM, CMX, CWK, DOCM, DOTM, DOTX, DUMMY, DXF, EMF, EPS, FB2, GIF, HQX, HWP, JPEG, JPG, KEY, LRF, LWP, MCW, MET, MW, MWD, NX^D, ODM, OTH, PBM, PCD, PCT, PCX, PDB, PDF, PGM, PICT, POTX, PPM, PPTM, PSD, PUB, RAS, SGF, SGV, SVM, SYLK, TGA, UOF, VDX, VSD, VSDM, VSDX, WB2, WK1, WKS, WMF, WN, WPD, WPG, WPS, XLC, XLK, XLM, XLSB, XLSM, XLTM, XLTX, XLW, ZABW, ZIPLibre Office vs Microsoft Office There are numerous things included in both Libre Office and Microsoft Office that make it difficult to compare with each other. When looking at the two office suites as a whole, it's obvious that they can both function as a spreadsheet, word processor, database, and presentation program, but there are differences as well. Libre Office can edit math functions and equations like fractions, exponents, and the like."

When a template is stored in the templates folder, the macros that the template contains are available for use with all documents created from that template (as long as the documents are opened on a machine on which that template is installed). With templates stored in the Word Startup folder, the macros in the template are available for use with all documents on the machine. Templates stored in a document are available only for use with that particular document and while the macros will travel with the document, you cannot guarantee that the recipient of the document will be able to use the macros as, if their macro security level is set to High, the macros will be disabled without the user having to do anything."

"text": "Crypto Locker Virus: “Your Personal Files Are Encrypted!”. How-To-Remove Guide Posted by David Balaban on October 27, 2013Crypto Locker – the virus providing 96 hours for decrypting your files September 2013 turned out fruitful and lucrative for one of the cybercrime syndicates out there, but really alarming for private users and organizations on the other side of the IT security battlefield. The reason is the launch of a vicious computer infection known as Crypto Locker which in terms of severity and consequences for the infected PCs ‘outperforms’ the typical ransomware threats in a number of ways. Whereas regular ransomware yields to removal and complete remediation of the contaminated system via a special procedure, Crypto Locker encrypts user files and won’t allow for restoring those unless a certain amount of money is paid. Furthermore, unlike ransomware which attempts to disguise itself as something legitimate, this type of malware goes straightforward on the victim and in no way conceals its true extortion nature. It encrypts your personal files using asymmetric encryption, which means that the decryption process involves a public and private key, the latter being stored on the criminals’ remote server. For the users to have their files decrypted, they need to pay a fee of $100-300 via Bitcoins (the cheapest option according to the fraudsters’ notice), Green Dot Money Pak (USA only), Ukash or cash U. This payment needs to be made within 96 hours otherwise all of the encrypted files will be lost. Thus far Crypto Locker has been known to spread by means of sending emails masqueraded as ones concerning customer issues related to Fed Ex, DHS, UPS, etc. The contamination proper takes place when an unsuspecting user opens up an attached zip file that contains a malicious executable made to look like it’s a PDF file. Crypto Locker virus: contaminataion workflow and screenshots Now let’s have a look at what actually happens to the infected machine from more of a technical viewpoint."

The X stands for XML (Extensible Markup Language), which is the programming language behind the scenes in Office 2007 programs. Previous versions of Word were based on binary data. Binary data is, by nature, prone to corruption, and “bloated. ”By changing the background code, Microsoft was able to create new tools and features in Word 2007 that would not have been possible otherwise.

This article discusses the tremendous benefits of adding super foods that include this powerhouse of health benefits to your dog’s daily diet and why your four legged friend must have it. What is chlorophyll? First, a little bit of background is in order. Chlorophyll is actually the green pigment found in the chloroplasts of algae and plants. It is critical in the process of photosynthesis, helping plants absorb energy from light sources. But it’s also extremely helpful for human beings and animals.50 or so years ago, scientists started to unpack some of those benefits. They discovered that chlorophyll could fight certain infections, like strep or staph infections, and learned of some more cosmetic benefits like the combating of bad breath. It fought gum disease and got right of putrefying bacteria in the digestive tract. It was even linked to the healing of wounds, stimulating protective tissue growth."

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

I was shocked to see a mass of green rubber-like material and immediately called the owner. The mass looked like something you would see in the pad under a carpet. I was assured the dog did not shred anything… and that the only thing the dog had been given to eat recently was a “Greenie”…one of those formed green dog treats that look like a toothbrush….. I couldn’t believe one of those pressed dog treats would reconstitute into what looked like a mass of foam rubber pieces!Well, after getting home my friend did an experiment….cut up one of those things and soaked it in water overnight… low and behold a mass of foam rubber crap!

Curious why the store clerk’s face turns red like a chili pepper when you inquire about these sticks? Are you trying to figure out the main ingredients but don't have a clue? The terms rawhide, beef knuckles, ribs, pig ears and hooves are petty much self-explanatory, but what about these sticks? Why so much mystery? Some modest merchants may occasionally refer to them as “beef tendons” or “dried muscles\"\" which is half a truth. It’s time to announce to the world what these sticks really are because according to a survey a good amount of people are pretty much clueless about them. Are you ready? A bully stick is made of a bull’s private parts.

"text": "Home » Information for Pet Owners Home Care for Dogs Home oral hygiene can make a tremendous difference in your dog’s comfort and health. There are several home care oral hygiene options from which to choose, but keep in mind that anything you can do to help prevent plaque and tartar accumulation will pay big dividends. What really matters is whether or not home oral hygiene will be provided over the long haul – considerable effort applied only for a short period or only occasionally will be of no long-term benefit. Listed below some commonly used options for home oral hygiene that have been proven to be of benefit for dogs. Combining several methods will achieve the best results. All methods of home oral hygiene share the goal of preventing or controlling periodontal disease by minimizing plaque (bacterial film) accumulation, and preventing the mineralization of the plaque to form calculus (“tartar”). BRUSHING and TOOTH-PASTES: Brushing your dog’s teeth is the single most effective means to maintain oral health between professional dental examinations. This makes sense because the bacterial film known as “plaque” is the cause of periodontal disease. This film is easily disrupted by the simple mechanical effect of brushing the teeth. Frequent (ideally daily) brushing is recommended to maintain optimal dental health."

"text": "Puppies Dogs Getting Started Causes and Natural Treatments for Puppy Constipation How to Treat Puppy Constipation By Amy Shojai Updated 10/23/17Share Pin Email Andersen Ross/Getty Images Constipation refers to the difficult, less frequent than the normal passage of dry, hard feces. If defecation is delayed and feces remain in the colon for two or three days, too much moisture is removed from the colon, which makes elimination painful. A constipated puppy may squat and strain unproductively for long periods of time. Ongoing constipation may result in a loss of appetite, and the puppy losing weight or not gaining appropriately. When the condition becomes chronic, the bowel lining may become inflamed which stimulates a release of dark fluid that accompanies the hard, dry fecal matter. You might even confuse this with diarrhea. Causes of Puppy Constipation Puppies may become constipated for a variety of reasons, including swallowed objects. Besides the danger of puncture, swallowed bone fragments turn feces into cement-like masses that block the colon. Puppies are notorious for chewing and swallowing nondigestible objects like paper, sticks, grass, and cloth, which tend to turn into wads that cause impaction. Rawhide chews, if eaten in excess, promote constipation."

"text": "Dogs > Dental Care How Safe Are Rawhide Dog Chews? Rawhide dog chews are one of the most common pastimes of treats for dogs. Dogs love the taste of rawhide and owners love to give them something that they will enjoy. Rawhide is a product which is made from the skin of bulls and cows. It used to be common place knowledge that rawhide was the perfect and most safe treat to give your dog. However, recent research has indicated that rawhide treats can prove detrimental to the health and safety of your dog. Contents of Rawhide Dog Chews The most dangerous aspect of rawhide is that there is no FDA, or Federal and Drug Administration, regulation over them. Rawhide chews are certainly not a human food, and they are not deemed a pet food, therefore there is no regulation surrounding them and their consumption. The problem with this is that they can contain powerful animal by-products and chemicals that are extremely harmful to your dog. Mercury and lead are a few of several chemicals which have been found in rawhide chews."

"text": "Pets Dogs How do you help a dog with constipation after eating rawhide?yesterday i gave my dog a rawhide treat for the first time, and later that night she was acting funny. This morning she is walking around like she needs to go to the bathroom while keeping her tail tucked between her legs. Can anyone help me? Update: Is there any specific way a dog might act if it is blockage and not constipation Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Dogs very rarely are constipated Knowing that you gave your dog rawhide you should assume that she has a blockage and get her to a vet to be examined Symptoms depend on the level and location of the blockage within the digestive tract, but commonly the dog will vomit, have poor appetite, and have difficulty defecating. Obstructions can only be removed by surgery, if not death can occur http://www.k911.biz/Petsafety/Rawhideand... -- info on rawhides, greenies,Sheri · 8 years ago0 0 Comment Asker's rating Better have her checked at the vet...after you lift her tail and check for any dingle berries... Sometimes a dog will act funny like that if they get a piece of poo hanging from their butts.. Hopefully that is all it is.. Raw hides can really be dangerous if your dog swallows a big piece they can cause blockages and a need for expensive life saving surgery is necessary.. Please no more raw hides.. Denise · 8 years ago0 0 Comment You can try PLAIN canned pumpkin. This is just one more reason why it's not good to give a dog rawhide. When they chew off large pieces and ingest them, it can cause an intestinal blockage or bowel obstruction. Good luck. I hope a very expensive surgery is not in your near future.

While they're not quite as fragile as they appear, young Yorkies need special care to grow up into healthy, happy, well-behaved dogs. Food and Water Growing Yorkie puppies need a lot of food, or a lot of food when you consider their size. Until your puppy reaches 3 or 4 months old, he should have food available at all times. Water should always be available as well. As the puppy passes his third month, feedings should be scheduled regularly, with at least three small meals per day. Food should be high quality and made especially for puppies. Even though your puppy is tiny, he is growing quickly and needs the right nutrition for muscle and bone development. Dry food is best to help strengthen his teeth and avoid diarrhea, although a small amount of canned food may be given along with dry food."

I start feeding them at 5 to 6 weeks of age in thier whelping box. The raw diet is mashed up chicken necks, beef steak, livers, gizzards, and green tripe. At eight weeks of age, they eat outside, unless it rains, that gives them a chance to immediately use the bathroom. At eight weeks of age, they each eat 1 lb raw chicken or Deer meat, beef, livers, gizzards, hearts, and green tripe; this 1 lb is divided into three meals: first thing in the morning, at lunch time, and after dinner time. As they grow, you will feed them more. Dry dog kibble (store food) is fed differently, be careful not to overfeed a growing German Rottweiler puppy; many experts think that overfeeding causes too rapid growth which creates hip/elbow problems even in a young German Rottweiler dog who is not genetically predisposed to it. Follow the guidelines on the chart on the back of the bag for the daily amount to feed, as your German Rottweiler puppy grows. Exercise and bathroom break A young Rottweiler puppy needs excercise.

Salmonella etc. ( very uncommon on pig ears) is also possible in kibble dog food and dog's have a stomach much more able to handle it than humans. The down side is that pig ears ARE high in fat and can cause problems related to that - diarrhea & pancreatitis."

"text": "When To Take A Vomiting Dog To The Vet The top three presenting complaints for dogs in every small animal veterinary clinic are ear infections, itchy skin, and vomiting. The Vomiting Dog is Difficult for Veterinarians to Diagnose Working up the vomiting dog is a diagnostic challenge for veterinarians for several reasons, including:1. The physical exam of a vomiting dog is often totally normal, especially if Fido feels icky because he licked something yucky in the back yard but is otherwise fine.2. Most foreign objects that can fit down the throat of a dog are either too squishy or too small in relation to the size of the dog to be felt just by the veterinarian squeezing on your dog’s tummy, especially if said foreign object is still in the stomach, safely tucked away under your dog’s rib cage.3. Routine blood tests can detect conditions that may cause nausea leading to a vomiting dog – damage to the kidneys, liver, pancreas for instance – but blood tests alone cannot detect a problem that is occurring purely within the stomach or intestines. If your vomiting dog ate something funky in the yard, blood tests will likely be totally normal.4. X-rays are great at taking pictures of bones and super dense foreign objects like rocks or metal, but not so good with soft tissues or soft squishy foreign materials inside a vomiting dog. WE RECOMMEND BLOOD TESTS AND SURVEY X-RAYS ON ALMOST EVERY VOMITING DOG, because by ruling out bad organ disease with blood tests, and obvious foreign objects with routine x-rays, we can eliminate some dangerous, treatable problems that might, untreated, rapidly kill your beloved pet. Yes, it’s true, nine times out of ten, those expensive tests will be totally normal, but the one out of ten dogs with an abnormal test might die without a rapid diagnosis. Medicine is an inexact science."

There are also some rawhide chews that are also tasty and well liked by canines. However, these rawhide treats may also create some problems in dogs including allergies or intestinal blockage. Advantages of Rawhide Bones Rawhide dog bone treats can be administered for dogs as a reward. The bones can improve the dental health of the dog, as the bones have a rough texture and this will remove the plaque deposits from the pet’s teeth, hindering the formation of tartar or calculus. Dogs may often chew on rawhide bones to spend time and to prevent him from getting bored. Bored dogs may develop behavioral problems and start chewing on rugs and furniture. Disadvantages of Rawhide Bones The rawhide bones have a rough texture and this may be a problem for the teeth; dogs may break teeth or fracture the jaws. The rolled rawhide bones are more likely to cause fractures and break teeth. The rawhide bones may also be dangerous for the dog as chunks of bone may get stuck in the throat of the dog and cause choking."

"text": "\"Problem Solving For Chewing Did you know…Rubbing your hands on your dog’s toys increases the likelihood that the toys will be chewed, rather than your furniture. PROBLEM SOLVING An important part of pet ownership is teaching your puppy or dog proper pet manners and what is allowed to be placed in their mouth. It is your responsibility to have control over your dog and to correct bad behavior. Your pet should never be left unattended in any area that is dangerous or an area that you do not want destroyed. Obedience training ca be an important factor in this process. Knowing a simple command, such as to \"\"drop it\"\" or \"\"leave it\"\", could save your pet’s life. Corrections should begin at the moment when your dog or puppy starts the inappropriate chewing. Remember, your puppy or dog is like a small child, they have no way to know that the item they just destroyed was your expensive couch or chair, unless you instruct them to avoid those items when they have a need to chew. He might misbehave due to curiosity or boredom, not because he knows what he’s doing is unacceptable. Remember, with chewing as with any unacceptable canine behavior, prevention is easier than treatment."

Aside from being just plain fun, bones provide important benefits: Bones help improve dental health by helping to scrape away plaque, control tartar buildup, and maintain gum health. This diminishes bad breath, keeps teeth whiter, and reduces the risk of potentially serious dental problems. Bones provide stimulating activity by entertaining your dog for hours and keeping his mind stimulated. This is especially important for older dogs who may not be as active. Bones satisfy your dog's innate urge to chew, helping you to avoid destructive (and frequently expensive) chewing behavior from both puppies and adult dogs.

While these common names may apply to several species, Squalus acanthias is distinguished by having two spines (one anterior to each dorsal fin) and lacks an anal fin. It is found mostly in shallow waters and further offshore in most parts of the world, especially in temperate waters.

The caudal fin has asymmetrical lobes, forming a heterocercal tail. The species name acanthias refers to the shark's two spines. These are used defensively. If captured, the shark can arch its back to pierce its captor. Glands at the base of the spines secrete a mild venom. ["

"text": "Full Answer Blue sharks eat a significant amount of squid, while tiger sharks are known to eat sea turtles. Smooth dogfish sharks eat crabs and lobsters, and hammerhead sharks prefer stingrays. Some sharks that are quick and large enough also hunt sea mammals. Great white sharks, tiger sharks and mako sharks have been known to eat sea lions, seals, dolphins, porpoises and sea birds. They also prey on large fish like mackerel and tuna. The largest shark, the whale shark, doesn't hunt for its food. Instead, it uses specialized gills to filter plankton, which is made from algae and microscopic sea creatures. Some bottom-dwelling sharks spend the majority of their time scouring the ocean floor for clams and mollusks. Because many sharks feed indiscriminately, some have been found with non-food items, including coal, trash, oil and clothing, in their stomachs. Sharks very rarely prey on humans and usually release them after realizing that what they caught is not among its typical food sources."

They range in size from the small dwarf lanternshark ( Etmopterus perryi ), a deep sea species of only 17 centimetres (6.7 in) in length, to the whale shark ( Rhincodon typus ), the largest fish in the world, which reaches approximately 12 metres (40 ft) in length. Sharks are found in all seas and are common to depths of 2,000 metres (6,600 ft). They generally do not live in freshwater although there are a few known exceptions, such as the bull shark and the river shark, which can survive and be found in both seawater and freshwater. ["

"text": "Dogfish and Skate Long Island, New York On Long Island dogfish and skate are generally thought of as junk. They ruin the fisherman’s day and are thrown back in disgust. Because these fish are meaty, tasty, and boneless they are actually very good to eat and really don’t deserve their junk status. If we had a better appreciation for these fish we’d have more fun, have more to eat, and there would be less pressure on more traditionally targeted species like flounder and fluke. Fishing regulations on Long Island get tougher every year, and there are increasingly more bad fishing days than good. In light of these ever increasing restrictions on popular game and food fish I’d like to suggest something that might make a bad day fishing a little better: Keep and eat your junk fish. I can hear the moans already. Sure, landing a skate is just not the same as pulling in a doormat or a nice size striper, but going home empty handed is no fun either. It turns out that two of the most annoying fish around, dogfish and skate, are pretty good eating. If that’s all you’re catching why not bring them home and cook ’em up?"

Binding legislation and harvest management strategies... are urgently needed to address the disproportionate impact of fisheries on cartilaginous fishes.– IUCN global study 2010 [1]Threatened sharks are those vulnerable to endangerment ( extinction) in the near future. The International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN) is the world’s oldest global environmental organization. [ 2] It evaluates threatened species, and treats threatened species not as a single category, but as a group of three categories, depending on the degree to which they are threatened: [3]Vulnerable species Endangered species Critically endangered species The term threatened strictly refers to these three categories (critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable), while vulnerable is used to refer to the least at risk of these categories. [ 3] The terms can be used somewhat interchangeably, as all vulnerable species are threatened, all endangered species are vulnerable and threatened, and all critically endangered species are endangered, vulnerable and threatened. Threatened species are also referred to as a red-listed species, as they are listed in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. [ 4]In a milestone decision in 2013, CITES prohibited international trade in the fins of the scalloped hammerhead (pictured) and four other shark species. [ 5]Shark species are increasingly becoming threatened because of commercial and recreational fishing pressures, the impact of non-shark fisheries on the seabed and shark prey species, and other habitat alterations such as damage and loss from coastal development and marine pollution. [ 6] Rising demands for shark products has increased pressure on shark fisheries, but little monitoring or management occurs of most fisheries. ["

"text": "Digestive System of the Dogfish Shark Evolution of the Dogfish Shark Digestive System The structure of the digestive tract and its evolution are affected by many factors. Such factors include the type of food eaten, the level of activity and metabolism, and the size of the animal. The mouth and oral cavity of the shark has evolved according to the type of food the shark eats. The shark feeds on prey much to large to be sucked in and swallowed whole, as suction feeders do. The jaws and teeth seize prey, and it is torn into chunks that can be ingested. The shark tooth has evolved from a smooth round tooth to a sharp, serrated triangular tooth. Since these teeth are attached only to the connective tissue of the jaws, sharks have evolved a continuous growth replacement system for the teeth. The shark jaw is also adapted to feeding on larger prey. Sharks are said to have kinetic skulls where considerable movement is possible between the jaw and other parts of the skull. The jaw joint has shifted rostrally and the elements of the jaw have become hinged to each other, and to the rest of the skull, in a way that when the jaw is lowered, the entire mouth is carried forward toward the prey."

The lab memebers were using a small fish called a menhaden as bait to recapture sharks they had previously tagged. According to the Facebook post, a 3-foot-long shark known as a dogfish swam up and snatched the bait moments before a large female sand tiger shark swallowed the dogfish. Grind TV posted about the photo Wednesday, calling the shark-on-shark-on-fish action the “Turducken of the sea. ”According to ORB LAB, the sand tiger shark was released alive after researchers gave it a small ID tag. For those humans who fear ending up in the same position as the inner shark, you may want to take a look at this infographic, which demonstrates just how much greater a threat we are to sharks than sharks are to us. PHOTO CREDIT: Facebook: ORB LABCORRECTION: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that the dogfish was tagged and released alive. The sand tiger shark was tagged and released alive, while the dogfish was eaten by the sand tiger shark.

These saltwater fish have what resembles a large nose in between two eyes and almost seem to be frowning! I guess with an ugly mug like that you would be frowning too. This deep sea fish is often found at extreme depths off of the coasts of Tasmania and Australia. For this reason the Blobfish is rarely seen by the human eye. The Blobfish has the ability to withstand the high pressure of these depths because its body is actually mostly a gelatinour mass that has a density just less than water. This gives the Blobfish the ability to float right above the bottom floor without using much energy. As you can imagine, with the name like the Blobfish they aren't extremely active. In fact, most of the food that they eat simply floats right by them. This deep sea fish simply picks and chooses what to eat."

Wiktionary (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition:squalamine (Noun)A broad-spectrum antibiotic derived from the livers of dogfish Freebase (0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Squalamine Squalamine is an aminosterol compound with potent broad spectrum antimicobial activity discovered in the tissues of the dogfish shark by a team led by Dr. Michael Zasloff Dr. Zasloff searched the tissues of the dogfish for compounds that might help explain the hardiness of this animal to infection, despite its \"\"primitive\"\" immune system. Using techniques that Zasloff's team had developed to isolate and identify antimicrobial peptides from animal tissues, the team extracted and characterized a novel bile acid like compound containing a polyamine, never before seen in nature. The compound was called \"\"squalamine\"\", based on its source, and its chemical structure. Further analyses of larger quantities of dogfish liver extracts revealed squalamine to be the most abundant member of a larger aminosterol family, comprising at least 12 related compounds. One of these, \"\"MSI-1436\"\" or \"\"Trodusquamine\"\", although structurally similar to squalamine, and also quite potent as an anti-infective, exhibits a profoundly different pharmacology in vertebrates, causing weight loss and adipose tissue mobilization. Squalamine is sometimes confused with the similar sounding squalene, an unrelated compound also found in shark-liver.

"text": "\"Are Dogs More Intelligent than Cats? Dogs are smarter than cats and their advantage is increasing. Posted Dec 03, 2010SHARETWEETEMAILMOREOne easy way to start an argument is to announce that dogs are smarter than cats or vice versa. It seems that everybody has an opinion of our most familiar pets, yet it seems that few people have actual data to base their claim upon. However scientists have recently designed certain techniques and measures that may give us the definitive answer. Comparing the intelligence of animals of different species is difficult although there are certain tests and problem sets that have proved to be useful. Making the tests equivalent, however, for say a dolphin that lives in the water and a horse that lives on the land is obviously complicated and may prove to be virtually impossible. In the case of dogs versus cats we also have a problem, since each are specialized to do different things. Dogs are designed to be more efficient runners while cats have better ability at manipulating things with their paws. Thus a test that involved pulling strings or operating levers would tend to favor a cat, while a test involving moving from place to place, where speed is a measure of performance, would favor a dog."

Terriers are fearless and even the smaller members of this group (The Cairn Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier, or Norfolk Terrier, for example) have no concept of their size when it comes to battling a much larger foe! Due to their origins as hunters, Terriers often have a strong prey drive and may act aggressively towards other animals (including other dogs). Affenpinscher The Affenpinscher (or “Affen” as it is often affectionately called) is a small dog with the build, personality and sturdy constitution of a terrier. It has a short, thick and wiry coat, with longer wisps falling over its face and a slightly curly undercoat. The Affen has a squarish frame and face, round eyes, a short nose and an undershot jaw (giving its nickname, “the monkey terrier”). Traditionally its ears and tails are docked by a third of its length. Airedale Terrier The Airedale is the largest in the terrier family, giving it the nickname “The King of Terriers.” It has a flat and elongated head, a deep chest, and very straight front legs. It has a rough, wiry coat that resists dampness (a must for the rainy weather of the Valley of Aire, England, where it was originally bred and from which it gets its name)."

"text": "By Mat Jobe Top 10 Dumbest Dog Breeds+1 Tweet Share Pin173For many people, the term dog intelligence is an oxymoron. Dogs are known for being dumb, thanks in large part to unflattering portrayals in popular media (which I’ve long suspected of being controlled by cat people). This stereotype is obviously unfair. Just because dogs run around in circles, slobber profusely, and drink out of the toilet on occasion doesn’t make them dumb. That said, we all know dogs who don’t do their species any favors. Sad to say, some pooches really are as dumb as rocks (rocks that they will probably try to eat when you’re not looking). And, though it’s dangerous to suggest this, certain breeds are more prone to thick-headedness than others. While the methods used to measure dog intelligence are controversial to say the least, there’s some consensus about which breeds are at the bottom of the canine class. Based on extensive research, here’s my list of the top 10 dumbest dog breeds on the planet. Apologies in advance to hound lovers."

Perhaps you’re a cat lover with a dog-loving friend you think should give cats a chance. Whatever the reason, if you’re looking for a cat with a more dog-like personality, look no further than this list!#1 – Abyssinian The Abyssinian is one of the oldest known cat breeds, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it has the most stereotypical cat personalities. They are very outgoing, playful extroverts that will become depressed without enough human interaction. Click page 2 below for the next breed!#2 – Manx The Manx is tailless due to a naturally occurring genetic mutation that spread throughout the ancient cats on the Isle of Man, where the breed is from. They are very intelligent and playful cats that will follow their owners around like dogs do.#3 – Burmese The Burmese is a beautifully little cat with an extraordinary personality. They are playful and intelligent but soft spoken, allowing them to get along well with children and even dogs. They are very attached to their owners and will find every opportunity to be by the side of their family members.#4 – Ragdoll The Ragdoll is aptly named for its tendency to go completely limp when picked up, making it the most easily handled cat around. They are very docile lap cats that are both intelligent and playful if given the opportunity. Ragdolls will commonly greet their owners at the door when they return and are generally very invested in their owners.#5 – American Curl The American Curl gets its name from the way its ears curl backwards into a unique shape."

Copyright © 2000-2018The AKC Standard says the German Shepherd \"\"has a distinct personality marked by direct and fearless, but not hostile, expression, self-confidence, and a certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. The dog must be approachable, quietly standing its ground and showing confidence and willingness to meet overtures without itself making them. \"\" That's a great description of an ideal German Shepherd. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to find an ideal German Shepherd today. Nowadays, this breed is all over the map in temperament. Lines that are bred for protection work and the sport of schutzhund tend to be \"\"hard-tempered\"\" and businesslike. Show lines range from mild and mellow, to hyperactive and skittish, to downright dumb and dopey. And many German Shepherds bred by backyard breeders have risky temperaments and suffer from a host of health problems. Energy levels vary from vigorous to laid-back, but all German Shepherds, to maintain their athletic shape, need brisk walking every day and all-out running in a safe, enclosed area as often as possible."

"text": "\"How Intelligent Are Cats? Copyright 2004-2014, Sarah Hartwell Cat owners often claim that cats are too intelligent to do the sort of tricks that dogs do willingly. Others believe cats are unintelligent because it's harder to train them to do tricks. In this article (on 2 pages) I aim to explain some of these differences and explore feline intelligence and the limitations on feline intelligence. This also means looking at how cats see the world and at some aspects of natural cat behaviour. Unfortunately for cats, they are often non-consenting participants in surgically intrusive experiments to assess learning and intelligence. Humans seem to feel it necessary to assess the intelligence of animals as a way of reinforcing our own sense of superiority and the cat has been a favourite subject for studying learning and brain function for over a century. Many tests insert electrodes into cats' brains either to monitor brain activity or stimulate certain behaviour; others involve deliberately injuring the brain to see whether learning capacity or intelligence is affected. Most such test subjects are killed and their brains further dissected to look for evidence of brain changes resulting from learning. I personally consider these experiments cruel and gratuitous (their medical benefit to humans is too often dubious) and though some such experiments are referenced here, Messybeast.com does not support this form of experimentation."

Normandin’s goal was to achieve a smaller version of the Siberian Husky so she selectively bred standard huskies that were exceptionally small. This is the same breeding practice used to breed Miniature Huskies today. Pedigree The Miniature Husky has the same pedigree as the Siberian Husky, it is just selectively bred for its smaller size.

In 2010, The Hub relaunched the Pound Puppies franchise with Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere, the creators of Recess, along with Wendy Moss Klein and Nancy Steingard at the helm. Like the original series, a team of canines finds homes for puppies (and occasionally adult dogs), often by escaping the pound in the style of The Great Escape and Hogan's Heroes. This time around, the pound is run by Leonard Mc Leish, a dog catcher who is ambitious, but mostly ineffectual and ultimately harmless. The new squad consists of team leader Lucky; right-hand dog and no-nonsense second-in-command Cookie; Squirt, the streetwise chihuahua with connections across the city; resident genius and inventor Strudel; and Niblet, the big, strong sheepdog with an even bigger heart. Along with Mr. Nut-Nut, Sparky and the other helper squirrels, the team from Shelter 17 is responsible for matching the right pup with the right person. The shelter's success is even occasionally recognized by humans somehow... which Mc Leish gladly takes credit for whenever he can, much to the chagrin of the ones really responsible. The series ran from October 2010 to November 2013 airing a total of 65 episodes in 3 seasons, and as of today, no plans for a fourth season have been confirmed.

The disorder is caused when a pregnant cat contracts feline distemper – a highly contagious and potential fatal vial disease. It can result in cerebellum damage to unborn kittens as the virus passes from the mother cat to foetuses in her womb. The earlier the mother cat contracts the disease in her pregnancy, the less likely the kittens are to survive – or the more serious their Feline CH will be.

"text": "Pets Cats Why Is It Easy To Train A Dog, But Hard To Train A Cat?1 following 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The reason why dogs are easier to train than cats is because dogs are used to living in a rigid pack formation where they abide by rules given by a pack leader. As dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years, they generally regard the human figure as a pack leader, and are willing to abide by instructions given by humans. Cats, however, are solitary animals who have become used to deciding on how they live/controlling their own lives without any intervention from anyone.

"text": "\"Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Whimsy Is a Dog's Mouth Really Cleaner Than a Human's? Share Flipboard Email Print Moxie Productions/Getty Imagesby David Emery Updated September 06, 2017Believe it or not, the idea that a dog's mouth is sterile actually has its roots in medical literature. It has long been noted by physicians that human bites are more likely to become infected than those of other mammals, including dogs. Once statistics to that effect were published in journals and began to be repeated by medical professionals, folk wisdom took off from there. Bite Wounds vs. Closed-Fist Injuries Lately, however, the accuracy of those statistics has come under attack, with critics objecting that some of the human \"\"bites\"\" compared to animal bites in earlier studies weren't really bites at all. A 1988 review published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine found the following: Recent study of human bites has shown that the early literature depicting all human bites as having an extraordinarily high infection and complication rate was biased by its emphasis on human bites of the hand that presented late with infection already present. These bites, the so-called closed-fist injuries (CFI), do indeed have a poor prognosis, but it may be as much due to their location and initial neglect as to the source of the injury. Human bites elsewhere do not seem to have any higher risk than animal bites, which have an infection rate of about 10%. ( Source)And a 1995 review in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology concurred: Human bite wounds have long had a bad reputation for severe infection and frequent complication. However, recent data demonstrate that human bites occurring anywhere other than the hand present no more of a risk for infection than any other type of mammalian bite. ("

According to the wacky, cultish 3,000-word rant on the label, when combined with adequate sleep, Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap has the power to “clean body-mind-soul-spirit instantly uniting one! All-One!” I’m not sure exactly what that means, but the soap boasts more than 18 uses: a toothpaste and a household cleaner; a pet wash and a cure for lice. With eight varieties (one of which is only $8.99 at Trader Joe’s), this “magical multi-tasker” could be the solution to many of our financial freak-outs at the pharmacy register. So with a bottle each of peppermint and rose soap in hand, I set out to find out which of “Doctor” Emanuel Bronner’s loftiest claims to embrace, and which to avoid. Each use is graded “Crazy” or “Sane” and ranked on a five-star scale: 5 is highly recommended; zero is like the guy on the street holding a cardboard sign and babbling. CLEANSER The soap is made from organic saponified oils and is extremely high-foaming. Used straight on skin, it can be drying, but diluted half and half with water, it forms a gentle lather and effectively cleaned the skin on my face and body without leaving it tight and dry."

Aromatherapy to calm your dog. Dogs love to smell things. They get a clear picture of their world through smell, and their odor acuity is 10,000 to 100,000 times that of humans! Scent is also connected to the limbic brain, the seat of memory, emotion and learning, and so aromatherapy has the potential to calm your dog as well as facilitate bonding and behavior change. Aromatherapy is the art and science of using aromatic plants to restore or enhance health and well-being. Pure essential oils are the heart of aromatherapy, and their complex compounds are extracted from all parts of plants: flower, seed, leaf, bark, root or resin. Scientific studies in Germany and France regarding the medical effects of essential oils on animals and humans were quite advanced by the mid-1800s, and because of positive clinical results, the practice of veterinary aromatherapy was not uncommon in these countries by the mid-1900s. Many essential oils, including lavender, rose geranium and bergamot, are known to have relaxing effects, and can be safely used to calm your dog, too. Pure essential oils are highly concentrated (200 pounds of lavender tops are distilled to make one pound of lavender essential oil) and so it is accepted practice to dilute essential oils to avoid sensitization, skin irritation or overwhelming the dog’s sense of smell."

BY Matt Soniak January 10, 2014Jason English Comparing a dog's mouth with a human's mouth is sort of like comparing apples and oranges—really filthy apples and really filthy oranges. Both species' mouths are hot, damp places teeming with roughly equal populations of bacteria. Neither would be described as clean, and any question of comparative cleanliness is irrelevant because so much of that bacteria is species-specific. Most of the germs in your dog's mouth aren't going to be a problem during a big, wet doggie kiss. You're more likely to run into trouble kissing another human than you are a dog, because bacteria from a person's mouth will feel equally at home in yours.

Dogs and humans can and do transmit some germs to each other via the mouth, so if your dog is the type that likes to lick faces (is there any other type? ), there are a few precautions you can take.

Before 1980 – and before a Mc Gyver-esque Australian respiratory doctor with a vacuum cleaner motor named Collin Sullivan came along, one of the only clinical treatments for severe obstructive sleep apnea was to make a tiny incision in the trachea and insert a breathing tube, which is otherwise known as a tracheotomy. Indeed, it was a grim solution for a grim prognosis, but soon all of that was about to change. In the decade prior to Dr. Sullivan’s invention of continuous positive airway pressure as a method to treat sleep apnea, the study of sleep itself was in its nascence. In the 1970s there were only a small handful of medical centers around the world that studied one of the most basic and most important human functions: sleep. Before doctors studied sleep apnea in depth – and even before it got its current name – the disorder was called Pickwickian syndrome after a character in a Charles Dickens (you know, the writer of A Christmas Carol) novel who is obese and has a habit of falling asleep standing up. This 177-year-old Dickensian reference should give you an idea of how old-fashioned people’s notions were about sleep apnea. In fact, there were a slew of antiquated hypotheses and hyberboles as to what could be causing this shadowy sleep infirmity – all the way up until Dr. Sullivan started studying the condition at Sydney’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital the 1970s. In point of fact, it was a decade more known for gasoline strikes, Vietnam, Deep Throat and disco than the study of sleep apnea. Before this time, people had all sorts of ideas as to why people were literally choking and dying in their sleep."

"text": "Barking Barking is a behavior that is so inherent to dogs that it can be difficult to change. Dogs bark for reasons like boredom, frustration, attention seeking, guarding, greeting, play, or anxiety. To change the behavior, you must first determine why your dog is barking and then address that issue. Attention Barking If your dog barks for attention, rule number one is to ignore him. Don’t look at him, talk to him or interact in any way until he quiets down. If you give in to a demand barker (which is very tempting to do because the barking can be annoying), you are actually teaching him to bark. And when you yell at your dog for barking, he thinks you are joining in, which then encourages him to bark even more. Make a point of giving your dog lots of attention when he isn’t barking so he knows that he doesn’t need to demand your attention to get it. And if your dog does start barking, turn your back, walk away or close your door. Boredom Barking Some dogs bark because they’re bored."

The reason that this type of stain is so difficult to remove is because of the uric acid crystals found in urine. Any type of urine from mammals, whether it is human or pet urine, contains uric acid crystals, which can only be removed by using an enzyme based cleaning product. Different products for each type of animal urine removal are not necessary. Traditional products involving soap and strong chemicals aren't able to work because they do not break down the uric acid crystals. The only permanent method of removing urine odor and stains is by using products specifically designed to bind with and destroy the uric acid. This is exactly how our enzyme based cleaners work. The enzyme products that really work are those that have the correct combination of enzymes and other ingredients to destroy the uric acid crystals and at the same time eliminate the bacteria surrounding the urine which causes the odor. The enzymes are applied to the stain in a liquid form and take the same path that the urine would have taken originally. We carry several effective urine removal products, and the product that you choose should depend on the stain that you have to remove."

As they survey the land for lions, their main predators, they spend much of their day searching for food. Lions rarely catch giraffes, due to their ability to run fast.

Their long legs allow them to cruise at 10 miles an hour (16 kilometers), or run as fast as 35 miles (56 kilometers) an hour.

It is of importance in the digestive system and is the primary organ of taste in the gustatory system. The tongue's upper surface (dorsum) is covered by taste buds housed in numerous lingual papillae. It is sensitive and kept moist by saliva, and is richly supplied with nerves and blood vessels. The tongue also serves as a natural means of cleaning the teeth. [ 2] A major function of the tongue is the enabling of speech in humans and vocalization in other animals. The human tongue is divided into two parts, an oral part at the front and a pharyngeal part at the back. The left and right sides are also separated along most of its length by a vertical section of fibrous tissue (the lingual septum) that results in a groove, the median sulcus on the tongue's surface."

Answer by Nomania Confidence votes 101The tongue rolls the food into balls or boli (singular: 'bolus') and pushes them to the back of the buccal (mouth) cavity for swallowing. The tongue is not considered as part of the respiratory system, mostly on account of it not assisting in breathing. It is part of the gastrointestinal (digestive) system. The tongue helps you to swallow, then peristaltic action propels food, now called a bolus, down the esophagus. Tasting and Processing the Food: Your tongue works along with our teeth, lips and mouth to taste, chew, and swallow food. Your teeth help your tongue grind food as the tongue mixes the food around your mouth. Without your teeth, lips, and the roof of your mouth, your tongue wouldn't be able to form sounds to make words. Saliva is needed for the proper functioning of the tongue."

"text": "Why do dogs lick their wounds? It is easy to imagine a dog licking a wound on a front paw. Dogs will normally lick any wound on their body if it can be reached with their tongue. The tongue is perfect for probing a wound and licking the wound clean. The tongue’s moist and soft surface makes it a naturally effective wound cleaner. The saliva of a dog’s tongues acts to loosen any debris that may be on the surface of the wound. Any dirt or other debris will also become attached to the moisture of the saliva. If a splinter is lodged in the skin, the manipulation of the area with the tongue may drive the splinter in further so that the wound requires medical attention. When you notice that your dog begins to lick itself suddenly, a wound may be the reason for the sudden licking. This is why it is important to find out the cause of any unusual or sudden licking that your dog does."

Its adaptation to humans is so complete that its bite is not noticed until well after the bug leaves its victim, if it is noticed at all. Attracted by the warmth of our bodies and the carbon dioxide we exhale, bed bugs emerge usually at night from hiding places, seeking human blood. While pathogens have been found in bed bugs, the bed bug apparently does not transmit diseases to humans. Prior to the widespread use of synthetic insecticides, this small, brown blood-sucking bug was perhaps the most unwanted pest in America. The insidious bed bug was loathed even more than the cockroach. Although the bug’s impact was greatly reduced by insecticides during the 1940s and 1950s, it remained an occasional invader of homes, hotels and shelters.

It is of importance in the digestive system and is the primary organ of taste in the gustatory system. The tongue's upper surface (dorsum) is covered by taste buds housed in numerous lingual papillae. It is sensitive and kept moist by saliva, and is richly supplied with nerves and blood vessels. The tongue also serves as a natural means of cleaning the teeth. [ 2] A major function of the tongue is the enabling of speech in humans and vocalization in other animals. The human tongue is divided into two parts, an oral part at the front and a pharyngeal part at the back. The left and right sides are also separated along most of its length by a vertical section of fibrous tissue (the lingual septum) that results in a groove, the median sulcus on the tongue's surface."

I found a black spot on my Lab’s tongue – does that mean he’s part Chow?”Contrary to popular myth if your dog has a black spot on his tongue it doesn’t mean he’s part Chow. While it is true that one of the most well known physical traits of a Chow is his blueish black tongue, it’s not a trait that’s unique to the breed. Labs, Shepherds, and Golden Retrievers are also known to have spots on their tongues. Over 35 Breeds Are Prone To Dark Spots On Their Tongues In addition to the Chow and Shar Pei there are over 35 other breeds that are known to develop dark spots on their tongues. And regardless of breed some dogs develop extra pigmentation on various parts of the body throughout their life, including the tongue. Why Do Dogs Have Spotted Tongues? Dogs have dark spots on their tongue due to extra pigmentation, just like freckles or birthmarks on humans. Dogs can also have dark pigmentation on their skin that look like freckles."

"text": "Why are whales mammals and not fish? What are the characteristics of mammals? Question Date: 2011-03-24Answer 1: Whales, dolphins, porpoises, seals, walruses, and many other marine animals are mammals, not fish. The marine mammals exist because about 50 to 60 millions of years ago, some mammals wandered off of the land and into the ocean, and there they evolved into different types of marine mammals. For whales and dolphins, their front legs turned into flippers. Their back legs became really tiny, so tiny that you can't even see them when you look at these animals, but they have hind legs still inside their bodies -- if you see a skeleton of a whale you can see it has tiny leg bones near its tail. Here's an interesting discussion of the hind legs in whales and dolphins:whaleswhale-evolution Like mammals, whales and dolphins breathe air through a pair of lungs, they are warm-blooded, their young drink milk, and they have hair (although very little). The whale is actually the closest living relative of the hippopotamus. Here's some good information on the difference between whales and dolphins and fish:cetacea-mammalian-nature Answer 2: Whales are mammals because they give birth to live young, they have fur (although it is very sparse on their body), they have lungs and breath air and they provide milk for their young. Answer 3: You have a lot of interesting questions about marine mammals."

Although tempting to try to get close enough to interact with wild animals, it’s important to remember that their behavior can be unpredictable and aggressive. Thus, it’s always best to view all wildlife from a safe and respectful distance, remembering that wild animals are just that – wild. It’s also tempting to feed a wild animal. It seems like such an innocent and harmless thing. But feeding wild animals can have deadly consequences for them and can place people in real danger. That’s why feeding wildlife in national parks and refuges is illegal. In many states, feeding certain wild animals is punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. These concepts apply to aquatic as well as terrestrial animals. The Marine Mammal Protection Act specifically addresses marine mammal issues and protects these animals by making it illegal to feed, pursue, or chase them in U. S. waters."

"text": "Pets & Animals Mammals Marine Mammals Q: How Do Seals Protect Themselves From Predators? A: Quick Answer Seals protect themselves by using their sensitive ears to let them know when they should swim away from danger, and by using their sharp teeth and strong jaws to defend themselves if they need to fight. A seal's streamlined body allows them to swim away from predators at rapid speeds, which is typically how the seals stay away from predators. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Do Harbor Seals Protect Themselves? How Many Teeth Does a Killer Whale Have? How Do Seals Protect Themselves? Full Answer Seals have very thick fur and an even thicker layer of blubber to keep them warm in their cold climate. Because of their thick skin, it is hard for most animals to attack seals simply because their predators must have large teeth. For this reason, the two main predators of all seal species are sharks and killer whales. A seal's first line of defense from sharks and whales is their ability to detect and move away from danger."

[ 2] Molecular studies show the genus contains three species: the common bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops truncatus ), the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin ( Tursiops aduncus ), [3] and the Burrunan dolphin ( Tursiops australis ). Bottlenose dolphins inhabit warm and temperate seas worldwide, being found everywhere except for the Arctic and Antarctic Circle regions. Bottlenose dolphins live in groups typically of 10–30 members, called pods, but group size varies from single individuals up to more than 1,000. Their diets consist mainly of forage fish. Dolphins often work as a team to harvest fish schools, but they also hunt individually. Dolphins search for prey primarily using echolocation, which is similar to sonar. They emit clicking sounds and listen for the return echos to determine the location and shape of nearby items, including potential prey."

Ecnroachment Protection What is Marine Mammal? The term “marine mammal” can be defined three different ways, and each of these ways carries with it implications about how we think of these animals. Ecological definition: A “marine mammal” is any mammal species whose life depends upon the sea. That is, it is any mammal that lives in salt water and/or derives its food from a saltwater environment. Taxonomic definition: The term “marine mammal” is defined as all the species in the following taxonomic orders: cetacea, pinnipedia, sirenia. In plain English, these are the whales, the seals, and the manatees. Legal definition: In the US legal system, the term “marine mammal” is defined by the US Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). This act of Congress establishes special protection for marine mammals and defines that term as including all members of cetacea, pinnipedia, and sirenia, AND the polar bear and the sea otter (since these two members of the order Carnivora arguably depend entirely upon the sea as well). For the most part, the species included in the term “marine mammal” are the same regardless of which of these definitions you use."

The large dorsal fin is slightly hooked and set half way along the body. Overall the body colour is a series of grey tones with an indistinct paler grey wash on the flanks fading into an off-white belly. Two forms of Bottlenose Dolphin are currently recognised - the 'inshore' form and the 'offshore' form, which could possibly be different species. The Bottlenose Dolphin is commonly seen in groups or pods, containing anything from two or three individuals to more than a thousand. Size range2 m - 4 m Distribution The Bottlenose Dolphin is found worldwide in temperate and tropical waters. Habitat The Bottlenose Dolphin lives in coastal waters and oceans.

Think about it. They have very big brains, like humans. They suffer, believe it or not, some very similar viral infections. They get common colds like we do, and the papiloma virus. I bet a lot of people didn't you didn't know that, these kinds of things that the dolphins are suffering from. And they even have a condition this is really surprising. They have a condition that resembles diabetes, and they're not drinking all those milkshakes, eating the chips and the soda and the other junk food that's in our modern human diet, which makes you wonder: Why would dolphins even have this sort of diabetes if they're not eating that kind of stuff?

The Amazon river dolphin is 1 of over 40 known species of dolphin and makes up one of five species of river dolphin. The other known river dolphins include: The Chinese river dolphin The Ganges river dolphin The Indus river dolphin The franciscana (la plata) dolphin (the only known saltwater river dolphin)As a whole dolphins belong to the cetacean species which also includes whales and porpoises and because they are marine mammals they are warm-blooded, breathe air, give birth to their young and produce milk to feed their children. Physical Characteristics and Appearance At their largest the pink amazon river dolphin can grow to be over 8 ft. long (not common) and weigh up to 450 pounds.

The toothed whale suborder is comprised exclusively of whales, dolphins and porpoises that are born with teeth instead of baleen plates. While the killer whale carries the name “whale” as part of its description this marine mammal is actually considered a dolphin. In addition to being known as the killer whale these marine mammals may also be referred to as the Blackfish or the Orca. Killer whales are one of the most well-recognized animals in the world and are easily spotted by their large size and distinct black and white color pattern. In fact the killer whale is the largest animal in the dolphin family and is one of the only known cetaceans to attack sharks, whales and other large marine animals, which helps explain why they are so well known and popular. These dolphins are extremely intelligent animals that are well-organized and follow highly complex social structures within their pods, which often consists of large groups of family members that can span several generations. In fact the social structure of killer whales is considered one of the most stable social structures of any animal species and is sometimes compared to the cultures of humans and elephants. Having no known predators the killer whale is known as an apex or alpha predator, which means it is able to hunt freely without fear of being attacked by another marine animal. In other words when it comes to marine mammals the killer whale is at the top of the food chain."

"text": "March 25, 2003 — The U. S. military says it has flown trained dolphins to a key southern Iraqi port in a deadly serious effort to sweep for mines. It’s the highest-profile assignment yet for a military marine mammal program that goes back to before the first Gulf War. British troops declared the southern Iraqi city of Umm Qasr secured only on Tuesday, and its port is quickly being prepared to receive seaborne humanitarian aid shipments from the U. S.-led coalition, perhaps starting within 48 hours. But before the port can be used, it has to be cleared of any underwater mines. Coalition forces said they intercepted several disguised ships in the Khor Abdullah waterway that held nearly 100 mines, but minesweepers have found no embedded mines in the water. That’s where the Atlantic bottlenose dolphins come in: The U. S. Navy has trained the dolphins to search seabeds, identify mines and mark them for disposal by humans. Several military dolphins have been flown in from Bahrain to check Umm Qasr, NBC News reported. A spokesman for the Navy’s 5th Fleet in Bahrain, Lt. j.g. Josh Frey, told MSNBC.com that the dolphins are more naturally suited for underwater mine detection than humans are."

"text": "\"Biology How do Whales and Dolphins Sleep Without Drowning? Bruce Hecker, director of husbandry at the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston, S. C., provides an answer that gives new meaning to the expression \"\"half asleep. \"\" Marine mammals such as whales and dolphins spend their entire lives at sea. So how can they sleep and not drown? Observations of bottlenose dolphins in aquariums and zoos, and of whales and dolphins in the wild, show two basic methods of sleeping: they either rest quietly in the water, vertically or horizontally, or sleep while swimming slowly next to another animal. Individual dolphins also enter a deeper form of sleep, mostly at night. It is called logging because in this state, a dolphin resembles a log floating at the water's surface. When marine mammals sleep and swim at once, they are in a state similar to napping. Young whales and dolphins actually rest, eat and sleep while their mother swims, towing them along in her slipstream--a placement called echelon swimming. At these times, the mother will also sleep on the move."

"text": "\"Feeding or Harassing Marine Mammals in the Wild is Illegal and Harmful to the Animals Why is it illegal to feed, attempt to feed or harass marine mammals in the wild? Feeding, attempting to feed, and harassment of marine mammals in the wild by anyone is prohibited by regulations enacted under the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Feeding, attempting to feed, or otherwise harassing marine mammals in the wild was made illegal because it is harmful to the animals in the following ways: It causes marine mammals to lose their natural wariness of humans or boats and become conditioned to receiving handouts and associate people with food. It changes their natural behaviors, including feeding and migration activities, and decreases their willingness to forage for food on their own. They may also begin to take bait/catch from fishing gear. These changed behaviors may be passed on to their young and other members of their social groups and increases their risk of injury from boats, entanglement in fishing gear, and intentional harm by people frustrated with the behavioral changes. Some of the items that are fed to marine mammals may be contaminated (old or spoiled) or not food at all. Feeding marine mammals inappropriate food, non-food items, or contaminated food jeopardizes their health. Marine mammals sometimes become aggressive when seeking food, and are known to bite or injure people when teased or expecting food. How is \"\"harassment\"\" defined under the MMPA?"

Therefore, dolphins do not sleep in the same way as humans because due to the possibility of drowning; rather, they shut down half of their brain at a time to rest while the other half stays awake so that they can breathe. As a result, dolphins tend to take naps throughout the day."

It is strongly attached to the musculature and skeleton by highly organized, fan-shaped networks of tendons and ligaments, can comprise up to 50% of the body mass of some marine mammals during some points in their lives, and can range from 2 inches (5 cm) thick in dolphins and smaller whales, to more than 12 inches (30 cm) thick in some bigger whales, such as right and bowhead whales. However, this is not indicative of larger whales' ability to retain heat better, as the thickness of a whale's blubber does not significantly affect heat loss. More indicative of a whale's ability to retain heat is the water and lipid concentration in blubber, as water reduces heat-retaining capacities, and lipid increases them. [ 2]Function [ edit]Blubber is the primary fat storage on some mammals, specifically those that live in water. It is particularly important for species that feed and breed in different parts of the ocean. During these periods, the animals metabolize fat. Blubber may save energy for marine mammals, such as dolphins, in that it adds buoyancy while swimming. ["

Dolphins are sociable mammals by nature which is why they are habitually found in zoos and water parks. One of the most common dolphins is bottlenose dolphin that is regularly kept under captivity. In the wild, these mammals are carnivorous and they forage in groups. Over the recent years, scientists have discovered some of the advanced hunting techniques employed by dolphins. These animals are akin to hunt at coastal waters and they use echolocation to identify their prey. By emitting a sonic pulse, which is reflected by the nearby fish or other prey, dolphins actually locate where the victims are. Bottlenose dolphins are thought to be trapped in the fish nets which indeed leads to the population decline. Dolphin is one of the most intelligent living animals on earth. Some species do not live in ocean; they prefer to inhabit rivers."

It wasn’t until further research clarified skeletal and genetic differences among the two types of dolphins that Maui’s dolphin was given its own classification as a subspecies of Hector’s dolphin. Not only is Maui’s dolphin one of the smallest known dolphins it also happens to be one of the rarest dolphins with estimates stating that there may be less than 100 Maui’s dolphins in existence today. Maui’s dolphin is primarily found living in and around the coastline near the shore of North Island in New Zealand (often in waters that are less than 70 feet deep) which helps these dolphins avoid threats from predators and easily keep track of their pods. Physical Characteristics Maui’s dolphin is part of the toothed whale suborder which also includes whales and porpoises. This subspecies of dolphin can grow to lengths of around 4 – 6 feet and generally weigh around 95 – 115 pounds when fully matured. Maui’s dolphin is easily identified because of its small black rounded dorsal fin (a trait that exists among Hector’s and Maui’s dolphins) which is located on its back. These dolphins have tapered streamlined bodies and a short snout, which allows them to travel through the ocean with little water resistance.

"text": "Full Answer Within a coral reef ecosystem, the producers are the sea weeds, the sea grasses and the plankton species. The primary consumers are the coral polyps, some mollusk species, the zooplankton species, the starfish, the crabs, the sea urchins, the green sea turtle and some smaller fish living in the coral reef system. The primary consumers feed on the producers. The secondary consumers are the butterfly fish, triggerfish, puffer fish, shrimp, other mollusk species and lobsters. Secondary consumers feed on primary consumers and sometimes feed on producers as well, reports Stanford University. The tertiary consumers eat secondary consumers and can also sometimes eat primary consumers and producers. Within a coral reef ecosystem, the tertiary consumers are seals, barracudas, sea birds, dolphins, moray eels and sharks. Lastly, the decomposers help to break down the waste within the ecosystem. They help to dissolve dead organisms as well. By breaking down the waste, the decomposers are able to generate new energy that helps to sustain the ecosystem."

Tending to inhabit shallow areas of tropical and temperate waters, dolphins can be found throughout the world in every ocean, except the coldest ones. Dolphins are only absent from 45 degrees latitude to the poles in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Most dolphins prefer to inhabit waters along the coastline and near the ocean’s continental shelf edges. However, habitat range and migration for dolphins is highly dependent on the water depth, sea surface temperature, distance from shore, and available food."

"text": "\"Miami Dolphins Miami Dolphins Roster 2012: Latest News, Cuts, Preseason Predictions Scott Altman August 2, 2012The Miami Dolphins are in the midst of an unprecedented preseason roster overhaul. After trading Ryan Cook to the Dallas Cowboys last night, the Dolphins embarked on a roster purge Friday morning. As of this writing, here's the list of players who have been axed already: Clyde Gates, Roberto Wallace, B. J. Cunningham, Jeff Fuller, Chandler Burden, Ray Feinga, Jamaal Westerman, Ryan Baker, Cameron Collins, Gary Guyton, Quinten Lawrence, Kevyn Scott and Vincent Agnew. And things are only heating up. The Dolphins are reportedly in trade talks with the Redskins for a deal that would send Steve Slaton to Washington in exchange for wide receiver—and former Dolphin—Anthony Armstrong: Redskins are talking trade with the Dolphins; RB Steve Slaton for WR Anthony Armstrong, a source confirms.— Rich Campbell (@Rich_Campbell) August 31, 2012Once the Dolphins are finished cleaning house, a wave of new players will come into camp once the waiver wire opens tomorrow. August 31st Roster Cuts1 of 20Ray Feinga: After wavering between the Dolphins' practice squad and active roster, the team finally decided to part ways with Feinga. With an impressive camp, Feinga could've easily pushed for a roster spot, but he did nothing of the sort. On Wednesday night, Cowboys backup linebacker Victor Butler made him look silly en route to an easy sack. That was all the Dolphins coaching staff needed to see before letting him go."

A polar bear as the predator feeding on a bearded seal Meat ants cooperating to feed on a cicada far larger than themselves In an ecosystem, predation is a biological interaction where a predator (an organism that is hunting) feeds on its prey (the organism that is attacked). [ 1] Predators may or may not kill their prey prior to feeding on it, but the act of predation often results in the death of the prey and the eventual absorption of the prey's tissue through digestion. Predation is often, though not always, carnivory, one of several heterotrophicconsumer-resource interactions. [ 2] Different feeding behaviors such as parasitism, parasitoidism, micropredation and predation form a continuum rather than being entirely separate strategies. [ 1] Predation strategies can be classified by trophic level or diet, by specialization, and by the predator's interaction with prey. Coevolutionary selective pressures imposed on each other by predator and prey often result in an evolutionary arms race, resulting in antipredator adaptations in the prey and adaptations that improve hunting efficiency in the predator.

"text": "What Do Whales Eat? When it comes to survival few things are as important as shelter, rest and food. For marine mammals such as whales food is not only extremely important for their survival it’s also important for maintaining balance in the oceans ecosystem. In order for whales to capture their food these marine mammals search and hunt for their prey using a variety of techniques in order to locate, isolate and immobilize their prey for easy consumption. Because there are around 90 different animals within the cetacean family it is important to understand that not all species of whale hunt or attack their prey in the same way. Depending on the whales size, social structure, environment, species and type (baleen or toothed) their diets can change drastically from small aquatic life forms such as fish, shrimp, larvae, plankton, crabs, krill and squid to large marine mammals (which are generally consumed by killer whale) such as sea lions, walruses, seals, sharks, seabirds and even large whales. One of the most useful abilities whales use when hunting for food is known as echolocation. Echolocation is a trait that is found in all species of toothed whale. Echolocation works by emitting a series of clicking and busing noises and then listening to the echos that bounce off of objects in the area (such as fish or other aquatic life forms). The amount of time it takes the echo to return to the whale can provide these marine mammals with vital information such as how far the object is, how dense it is, whether it is hard or soft, and whether or not the object is moving or still."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Species of the infraorder Cetacea A phylogenetic tree showing the relationships among cetacean families. [ 1]The evolutionary history of cetaceans is thought to have occurred in the Indian subcontinent from even-toed ungulates 50 million years ago, over a period of at least 15 million years. Cetaceans are fully aquatic marine mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla, and branched off from other artiodactyls around 50 mya (million years ago). Cetaceans are thought to have evolved during the Eocene or earlier, sharing a closest common ancestor with hippopotamuses. Being mammals, they surface to breathe air; they have 5 finger bones (even-toed) in their fins; they nurse their young; and, despite their fully aquatic life style, they retained many skeletal features from their terrestrial ancestors. Discoveries starting in the late 1970s in Pakistan revealed several stages in the transition of cetaceans from land to sea. The two modern parvorders of cetaceans – Mysticeti (baleen whales) and Odontoceti (toothed whales) – are thought to have separated from each other, from the archaeocetes, around 28-33 million years ago in a second cetacean radiation, the first occurring with the archaeocetes. [ 2] The adaptation of animal echolocation in toothed whales distinguishes them from fully aquatic archaeocetes and early baleen whales. The presence of baleen in baleen whales occurred gradually, with earlier varieties having very little baleen, and their size is linked to baleen dependence (and subsequent increase in filter feeding).

New logo, new uniforms, plenty of new faces and a new hope for a successful season. Ryan Tannehill returns for year two of a career which Dolphins fans hope becomes a storied one. This time around he will have new targets to throw to, with the hope being an improvement on a rookie year that saw him throw for 3,294 yards, 12 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. One challenge he will have is a revamped running game minus Reggie Bush and a revamped offensive line minus Jake Long. On defense, Miami shows the most promise, with a deep defensive line, a new but young and fast linebacking corps and a secondary that's definitely new but also hopes to be improved.

"text": "\"Are Political Donations Tax Deductable? Rob Berger February 16, 2013Advertising Disclosure The more familiar you become with tax law, the more money you potentially stand to save each and every year. One of the more common questions asked is “Are political contributions tax deductible?” Whether it’s your county mayor or the future President of the United States, the rules on taking advantage of these tax deductions are all the same. Donations are deductible if the organization you give to is a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt charity. This means that the organization has tax-exempt status, which is a special designation obtained from the IRS. Some organizations, mostly churches and religious organizations, are not required to apply for tax-exempt status but others like political campaigns and offices are. Many political organizations are automatically disqualified from this status. Any donation to a political party, campaign, or action committee is non-deductible. Other non-deductible contributions are those to individual people, labor unions, business associations, for-profit schools, for-profit hospitals, foreign governments, and fees paid to associations or state or municipal governments."

"text": "\"Oklahoma Nonprofit Corporations: A Basic Primer on Starting up 501 (c) (3) Charitable Organizations By Gary C. Clark Many of us have been volunteers working informally with other members of our communities striving to make them a better place to live. Often we are asked to set up a “tax-exempt foundation” so that fundraising can be enhanced by virtue of the income tax deduction for charitable contributions. Of course, you are expected to do the legal work pro bono and, if you have never done one before, the amount of time it will take is not insubstantial. This brief article is intended to provide you the basic information and point you to the available resources to establish an Oklahoma nonprofit corporation 1 that qualifies under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 501 (c) (3) as a charitable organization for which donations are deductible under IRC Section 170. By virtue of its very brevity, this article cannot and will not be address many of the nuances and complicated issues affecting charitable organizations. INFORMATION NEEDEDAs with any other legal project, you will need to collect the information needed to complete the assignment. In this instance, rather than a single client, you may be working with a group of people which may require some patience in getting them to coalesce around a single answer to the questions you will be asking. Name Desired You will need to know the name the group wishes to use early on so that you can check its availability free through the Oklahoma Secretary of State’s office. 2 This is the same process followed for “for profit” corporations. The name must include one of the following words: “association,” “company,” “corporation,” “club,” “foundation,” “fund,” “incorporated,” “institute,” “society,” “union,” “syndicate” or “limited” or an abbreviation thereof."

"text": "Knowing the rules of the game will help you decide how best to support your candidate. January 3, 2012By Michael Stratford1. Hey, big spenders. During the 2008 campaign cycle, donors poured more than $5 billion into federal elections. This election season, even more money is likely to flood in, because it’s the first presidential election since several court decisions loosened campaign-finance rules. SEE ALSO: Washington Matters -- Kiplinger's political column2. The sky is not (always) the limit. According to federal election law, individuals may donate up to $2,500 per candidate per election (the primary and general elections are counted separately), up to $30,800 to a national political party annually, and up to $10,000 to state, district and local parties combined each year. Individual donations to issues-oriented political action committees (PACs) are capped at $5,000 per year. Anyone may contribute unlimited sums to nonprofit advocacy groups—often dubbed 501 (c) (4)s after the tax-code provision that governs them—and to independent-expenditure-only committees, or “Super-PACs."

No, churches are automatically exempt from taxation, according to attorney Marcus Owens, Washington, D.

Must churches be 501 (c) (3) for their members� tithes, donations, and gifts to be tax-deductible? Again, no, according to Owens and to IRS regulations readily accessible to the public. But even if a church chooses not to be recognized as a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization, Owens said, provisions of the federal tax laws prohibiting \"\"intervention in a political campaign\"\" still apply to all churches. If the IRS finds that a church has violated this prohibition, the activities that constituted the violation are subject to an excise tax, according to the IRS. \"\" A church needs no ruling from the IRS to be exempt from taxation,\"\" Owens said. \"\" It is exempt by virtue of being a church."

"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": "1. Business-related entertainment You may be taking clients out to win their business, but you’re probably having a little fun as well. At least, the IRS assumes you are. It allows you to deduct only 50 percent of the cost of entertaining customers or clients, and for record-keeping purposes it’s best to document who you entertained and what the specific business goal of the event was. If not, you risk having the deduction disallowed in an audit.2. Business travel There are deductions associated with business travel, but the IRS distinguishes between business and pleasure. If you take the family on a trip and meet with a client for dinner one night, the dinner with the client is deductible, but the primary purpose of the trip is pleasure. If you fly your spouse with you to a conference in Hawaii and stay an extra day, your spouse’s ticket and that extra day in Hawaii would not qualify as deductions.3. Commuting costs As far as the IRS is concerned, if you choose to work far from home, that’s your problem. It doesn’t let you deduct commuting costs to your primary place of employment, regardless of how far it is or what type of transportation you use."

Qualifying Organizations for Charitable Tax Deductions Donations are eligible for tax write-offs only if you make them to qualified organizations. “ An organization has to have received the 501 (c) (3) designation from the IRS for it to qualify as a ‘charitable organization’ in terms of deduction donations for tax purposes,” said accountant Eric Nisall, founder of Account Lancer, which provides accounting, tax and consulting services for freelancers. “ That means your neighbor’s kid’s Little League team selling raffle tickets isn’t a tax write-off unless the team holds that certification. ”Generally, charitable gifts to these types of types of tax-exempt organizations are tax-deductible donations: Churches, synagogues, temples, mosques and other religious organizations Federal, state and local governments, if your contribution is solely for public purposes, such as a gift to reduce the public debt or maintain a public park Nonprofit schools and hospitals The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, CARE, Goodwill Industries, United Way, Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of America, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and others War veterans’ groups Expenses you paid for a student living with you who is sponsored by a qualified organization Out-of-pocket expenses for serving as a volunteer for a qualified organization See: How to Be an Awesome Human Being — Without Spending a Dollar Non-Qualifying Organizations for Charitable Tax Deductions Many causes deserve your generous gifts."

"text": "Print Political donations For 2016, the credit is calculated as follows: 75% of the first $400, 50% on the next $350 and 33 1/3% of any contribution over $750, up to $1,275. This results in a maximum credit of $650. Some provinces provide similar credits against provincial income taxes for contributions made to provincial political parties. For both federal and provincial purposes, the credit can only reduce taxes paid or payable. If you are not liable for any taxes in 2015, the credit is lost. It cannot be carried forward to 2017. Note that contributions to local mayoral campaigns do not qualify for the political donation tax credit. Tax tip: Consider spreading your political contributions over two years. For example, if you contribute $750 in 2016, your federal tax credit will be $475. If, instead, you contribute $375 in 2016 and $375 in 2017, your political contribution tax credit will be $281.25 in each of 2016 and 2017, for a total of $562.50."

"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."

Subscribe to our free newsletters. Foreign money and American elections are like fire and water, orange juice and toothpaste, Yankees fans and Red Sox fans: The two don’t mix. At least they haven’t for nearly 50 years, when the federal government banned foreigners from giving or spending any money on local, state, and federal elections. But for the secretive nonprofit groups pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the 2012 elections, the rules are different. These outfits, organized under the 501 (c) section of the US tax code, can take money from foreign citizens, foreign labor unions, and foreign corporations, and they don’t have to tell voters about it because they don’t publicly disclose their donors. What’s more, with a savvy attorney and a clean paper trail, a foreign donor could pump millions into a nonprofit without even the nonprofit knowing the money’s true origin. Anyone, American or not, can give any amount—$1 or $10 million—to politically active nonprofits like the Sierra Club or Americans for Prosperity, the national free-market organization cofounded by billionaire industrialist David Koch. Federal law prohibits a penny of that foreign money from being spent on politics. But it’s not hard to dodge that ban, says Marcus Owens, a tax law attorney who ran the IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups."

Nonprofit organizations are trusts, corporations or associations that have been organized for a charitable purpose and can qualify for tax-exempt status from the federal government. These organizations are also referred to as 501 (c) (4) organizations, because they qualify for tax-exempt status under section 501 (c) (4) of the Internal Revenue Code. What are the advantages of nonprofit organizations? The main advantage of tax-exempt status for nonprofit organizations is obviously that they do not have to pay federal taxes on their net income. In that way, the earnings can be cycled back into the organization to improve it. Contributors to nonprofit corporations also receive a benefit: their contributions are tax deductible. Therefore, many contributors use donations to 501 (c) (4) organizations to manage their tax burden, to the benefit of the organization's budgets.

Sometimes private foundations are referred to as ‘family foundations’. They are organized exclusively for charitable, educational, religious, scientific and literary purposes under Section 501 (c) (3) of the IRS Code. The foundation must be officially recognized by the IRS in order for contributions to it to be tax deductible. In practice, a private foundation is a unique planned giving vehicle that fosters family involvement, provides significant control over assets and giving, and allows donors to receive an immediate tax deduction for charitable donations that are made in the future.2. What are the benefits of a private foundation? Family legacy.

Most taxpayers are allowed a choice between the itemized deductions and the standard deduction. After computing their adjusted gross income (AGI), taxpayers can itemize deductions (from a list of allowable items) and subtract those itemized deductions (and any applicable personal exemption deductions) from their AGI amount to arrive at the taxable income. Alternatively, they can elect to subtract the standard deduction for their filing status (and any applicable personal exemption deduction) to arrive at the taxable income. In other words, the taxpayer may generally deduct the total itemized deduction amount, or the applicable standard deduction amount, whichever is greater. The choice between the standard deduction and itemizing involves a number of considerations: Only a taxpayer eligible for the standard deduction can choose it. U. S. citizens and aliens who are resident for tax purposes are eligible to claim the standard deduction. Nonresident aliens are not eligible. If the taxpayer is filing as \"\"married, filing separately\"\", and his or her spouse itemizes, then the taxpayer cannot claim the standard deduction. In other words, a taxpayer whose spouse itemizes deductions must either itemize as well, or claim \"\"0\"\" (zero) as the amount of the standard deduction. ["

"text": "Which donations are tax- deductible depends on the country where a person or business is operating, and regulations in different nations can change over time. Generally, legitimate donations are those that do not benefit the donor, have records for verification and hold a set fair market value. Charitable donations to churches, synagogues, temples and other religious entities typically can be written off, as can those made to nonprofit hospitals, schools, public parks, veteran organizations and similar groups. People can deduct government donations, as well, as long as the gifts are intended to be used for a public purpose. Deductions Around the World Specific regulations regarding the amounts of allowable deductions and types of charitable organizations vary from country to country. No central database exists that shows the regulation of each nation, so if an individual wants to know what is possible for different countries, he must look up the current information specific to those regions. Many governments present information about how to handle donations on the website of the organization that processes taxes. Comparing the information from these sites is challenging due to tax system differences, even when the data is available. Current Regulations Tax codes are not necessarily static. Based on the needs of a government or the views of people in a country, legislators can choose to modify the tax regulations, including sections of the tax codes related to donations."

"text": "\"Even if you give all your income to charity, you can't claim a 100 percent tax deduction. The IRS has multiple rules limiting how much of your charitable donations you can deduct. If you're donating 20 percent of your adjusted gross income or less, don't worry: The rules don't kick in unless you're donating at least 30 percent. Percentage Limit No matter how much you give, you can't write off more than 50 percent of your adjusted gross income as a charitable donation. With some organizations, the limit is even less: If you donate to veterans' organizations, fraternal societies, nonprofit cemeteries, and certain private foundations, the limit is 30 percent. Suppose, for example, that your AGI is $90,000 and you donate money to charities in both groups. Your total donations must be under $45,000 and donations to the second group must be less than $30,000. Capital Gains The IRS imposes added limits if you donate capital-gain property -- items that would have triggered long-term capital gains taxes if you sold them instead of donating them.

Following is a summary of the effect current tax laws have on the treatment, under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), of donations of appreciated ordinary income property when contributed by corporations to charitable organizations. Allowable Deductions for Charitable Donations of Ordinary Income Property: The general rule since 1969 states that a taxpayer who contributes appreciated inventory or certain other ordinary income property is permitted a charitable deduction only for an amount equal to the taxpayer's basis in the contributed property, not its fair market value. In the 1976 Tax Reform Act, Congress further refined the statute to allow corporate donors an increased deduction, under certain circumstances, for contributions of ordinary income property to a public charity or to a private operating foundation. Under IRC Section 170 (e) (3), a corporation is entitled to a deduction with respect to a contribution to a public charity or to a private operating foundation of appreciated property described in IRC Section 1221 (1) and (2). An existing tax provision allows only qualified c Corporation taxpayers (retailers, restaurants and food manufacturers) to take a charitable tax deduction for donations of fit and wholesome food to non-profit charitable organizations that serve the needy. The previous information should be used only as a guide. Donors are advised to consult with their tax advisor in applying the appropriate deduction.

"text": "\"Conservation Easements All About Conservation Easements There is no one-size-fits-all conservation easement. Rights Land ownership carries with it a bundle of rights—the right to occupy, lease, sell, develop, construct buildings, farm, restrict access or harvest timber, among others. A landowner can give up one or more of those rights for a purpose such as conservation while retaining ownership of the remainder of the rights. In ceding a right, the landowner \"\"eases\"\" it to another entity, such as a land trust. For example, a landowner may give up the right to build additional structures while retaining the right to grow crops. The rights conveyed in a conservation easement, such as the right to subdivide, have been established over two decades of case law as having real value. Private Land Private property subject to a conservation easement remains in private ownership. Many types of private land use, such as farming, ranching and timber harvesting, can continue under the terms of a conservation easement, and owners can continue to live on the property. The agreement may require the landowner to take certain actions to protect land and water resources, such as fencing a stream to keep livestock out or harvesting trees in certain way; or to refrain from certain actions, such as developing or subdividing the land. Conservation easements do not mean properties are automatically opened up to public access unless so specified in an easement."

"text": "\"Why donate Real Estate? Of course, most Americans do not have a large real estate portfolio. But many can enjoy significant financial benefits and provide a charitable benefit to the community at the same time. One of the advantages to the donor is that the size of the tax deduction is determined by the current market value of the property, as opposed to the cost of the property when it was purchased (Moreover, by donating a property instead of selling it outright, donors may avoid paying brokers' fees. ) In many cases, if one takes into consideration ongoing property taxes, maintenance costs, income taxes--or if the property is sold, the cost of legal fees, brokerage fees, estate taxes, inheritance taxes and capital gains taxes--it is often financially preferable to donate properties to charities. It also saves heirs the trouble of trying to divvy up the gains if the will is potentially contentious or inequitable. Sometimes there are intangible benefits as well. Real Estate donations can provide you with highly beneficial tax results and allow you to achieve significant and important charitable goals that benefit those in need. A donation of real estate to Helping Hands of America on behalf of our charities can reduce your tax burden and provide you with the benefit of savings that comes from relief of the maintenance of your property. You can also avoid capital gains tax on highly appreciated properties with your charitable donation of real estate."

Those with high incomes not only can give more, but they get more out of their deductions. This is simply because the value of a deduction in taxable income presents a saving equal to the deduction times your tax rate. Verify eligibility. You can deduct a charitable donation on your income taxes only if it is made to a designated 501 (c) organization. Donations to groups not so designated are not eligible for tax deductions.

This text defines tangible personal property, reviews the income tax rules associated with its transfer, discusses its compatibility with various planned giving vehicles, and provides guidance for its ownership and disposition.by Marc D. Hoffman Supervising Editor: Philip T. Temple, LL. B. Special thanks to Laurence C. Zale. Introduction Tangible personal property is one of the most interesting types of property contributed to charity because of its infinite varieties. The most common types of tangible personal property contributed to charity include: artworks, jewelry, gems, and other collectibles; motor vehicles, watercraft, and aircraft; livestock, harvested crops, cut timber, and other agricultural products; as well as items of business inventory or equipment. Tangible personal property is frequently given on an outright basis. However, it can also be transferred through split-interest planned giving vehicles such as charitable remainder trusts. Tangible Personal Property Defined The Code and Regulations applicable to charitable contributions do not provide a definition of tangible personal property. IRC §48, which deals with investment credits, defines tangible personal property as:\"\" [a]ny tangible property except land and improvements thereto, such as buildings or other inherently permanent structures (including items which are structural components of such buildings or structures). Thus, buildings, swimming pools, paved parking areas, wharves and docks, bridges, and fences are not tangible personal property."

With the usual, and necessary, caveat of, “I am not attorney, nor am I giving legal advice,” I responded that, Yes, when the transaction advances the donor non-profit’s charitable mission, a non-profit can donate money (and other resources) to another non-profit. In some instances doing so is an essential part of a non-profit carrying out its mission. Example: An orchestra could donate funds to an organization which seeks to develop overall marketing and PR education and outreach to that city’s arts and culture population. Along with that necessary start to the process, the donor non-profit needs to make absolutely certain that there is: No conflict of interest. Any person or persons responsible for the transfer of the donated funds must not personally (their families, friends, associates, etc.) benefit in any way. Example: The donated funds are used to purchase equipment in some way connected to business interests of a Board member of the donor non-profit No violation of donor restrictions. While exacting restrictions are not generally connected to most donations, nevertheless, the risk is that some donors would not approve of their money, in principle, going to another charity they did not choose, no matter how it fits or how worthy. No misuse of the donated charitable resources by the receiving non-profit."

Yes, any donation you make to Khalsa Family Services, Inc, Khalsa School or Khalsa Montessori School is deductible on both your federal tax return and your state tax return if you qualify to itemize your deductions. Does Khalsa School participate in the Arizona School Tax Credit Program? How much of a credit am I eligible for? Donations that are made to the charter school’s extracurricular activities fund are eligible for a tax credit on your state tax return up to the current year’s limit ($200 for individuals and $400 for married-filing-jointly for tax year 2009). There are additional tax forms that you will need to submit with your tax return to claim the credit. If you’ve donated more than you owe to the state, you may carry over the remaining amount of the unused credit to the next tax year. Contact your tax advisor for more information. I paid fees for my child’s extracurricular activities. Can I get a credit for that?"

"text": "\"United States Arizona Phoenix Guide Arizona Tax Credits Charitable and Educational Tax Credits Permitted By Judy Hedding Updated 01/30/18Share Pin Email•••There are many people in Arizona who could do a lot of good for a lot of people, and it wouldn't cost them even a dollar. The State of Arizona offers tax credits in certain situations allowing some Arizonans to make contributions to schools and non-profit organizations, and then receive that money as a direct credit (not just a deduction) at the time income taxes are filed. These tax credits are for individuals, not businesses. Here are the basics.1 - Qualifying Charitable Organizations Contributions Beginning in the 2013 tax year: you do not have to itemize deductions to claim a credit for contributions to a Qualifying Charitable Organization or Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization. You can't just pick any non-profit organization. To qualify for this tax credit, a charity to which you would contribute must provide assistance to residents of Arizona who either receive Temporary Assistance of Needy Families benefits, are low-income residents of Arizona, or are chronically ill or physically disabled children. Some organizations that serve foster children might also qualify. You don't have to find that out for yourself; each charity knows if they qualify for the tax credit. Most of them will indicate this on their website if they are. The organization may also have a form for this contribution or an online payment system."

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.

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."

Learn More!Strategies And Tactics When Using Donor-Advised Funds For Charitable Giving June 17, 2015 07:01 am 15 Comments CATEGORY: Taxes83Shares A A A83Shares Executive Summary The primary benefit of a donor-advised fund (DAF) is that it allows someone to donate assets for charity today – and receive a tax deduction now – even though the actual funds may not be granted to the final charity until some point in the future. In other words, the donor-advised fund essentially functions as a conduit, where the donor receives a tax deduction when the money goes into the DAF, but has discretion about when the assets will finally leave the DAF and actually go to the charity… and in the meantime, assets inside a donor-advised fund grow tax-free. Given the potential of a donor-advised fund to separate the timing of the contribution and tax deduction, from the final donation to the charity itself, the most common strategy for using a donor-advised fund is to “front load” charitable contributions in a high income year – when the tax-deduction threshold for charitable contributions will be higher – and then use the DAF to make subsequent distributions to the charities themselves in the future. By using the strategy, the donor can maximize the value of the tax deduction in a high-income year, but retain the flexibility to decide in the future to which charities the funds will actually go. Notably, though, the donor-advised fund as a vehicle provides a mechanism for other charitable giving tactics as well. For instance, the donor-advised fund can facilitate giving anonymously, or creating an “In Memoriam” fund. The DAF can also help facilitate donating appreciated securities to a smaller charity that doesn’t have the means of handling the donation directly. And for some families, the donor-advised fund can function as a less expensive alternative to a private (non-operating) foundation, providing a means for the whole family to engage in the process of charitable giving, while allowing the tax-free growth of a family’s charitable legacy.

Horses and zebras both communicate through special calls and sounds, some that are the same between the species and some that are unique.

"text": "Difference Between a Donkey and a Mule August 15, 2012 Daven Hiskey 13 comments Mule Today I found out the difference between a donkey and a mule. Put simply, a donkey is the descendant of the African wild ass (of which there are only about 500 left in the wild today). Donkeys are a different species than a horse, but in the same family. They were originally bred in Egypt or Mesopotamia around 5,000 years ago. Mules, on the other hand, are a cross between a female horse and a male donkey or “jack” (hence the word “jackass”). In contrast, a male horse and a female donkey bred together produces a “hinny”; the name coming from the fact that a female donkey is called a “jenny”, bred with a h-orse. The offspring of this breeding is very similar to a mule, as you might expect, though generally slightly smaller, which is thought to be because of the smaller womb in a donkey over a horse. Donkey So, the main difference between a donkey, mule, and a horse is genetics. Horses have 64 chromosomes; donkeys have 62, leaving the mule and hinny with 63. This mismatch in pairs leaves the mule and hinny almost always sterile, though there have been about 60 recorded instances of a female mule able to conceive with a horse or donkey."

The much rarer hinny is the result of mating a female donkey (jennet) with a male horse (stallion) although the hinny is much harder to produce than the mule. The jennet's reproductive system is more efficient at detecting and eliminating foreign DNA than the mare's is. The hinny conception rate is lower and the miscarriage rate is higher. It really isn't possible to distinguish a mule from a hinny by appearance. Mules are anatomically normal and show normal breeding behavior unless gelded (castrated) early in life. Mules are sterile due to an uneven chromosome count. There are have been a very few rare cases since the 1500s where female mules have been known to produce a foal when mated to a stallion or jack. Males are completely sterile, and as an old muleman said,\"\"Ain't nothing meaner than a stud mule! \"\" Mules are commonly found around the world in any area where there are donkeys and horses inhabiting the same environment."

Donkey are used to compete in English Jumping and Western Barrel Racing as well as other horse type sports....but donkeys compete against other donkeys. There are many sports a donkey might compete in. Believe me, you will have a blast training and competing with your donkey......if you train correctly. When choosing a saddle for your donkey, chose one that fits the donkeys back well."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Zoology Are zebras horses? if not how close are they related?6 following 3 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Zebras and horses both belong to the family Equidae, and the genus Equus. However, they are different species - horses being E. caballus, and zebras E. burchelli (Burchell's or plains zebra), E. grevyi (Grevy's zebra), and E. zebra (mountain zebra). They are related closely enough that they are able to interbreed, producing a 'zorse' - however, like most hybrids, zorses are usually sterile. Zebras can also interbreed with donkeys (E. asinus), producing a 'zeedonk', and, of course, horses and donkeys can interbreed and produce mules (offspring of a male donkey and female horse) or hinnies (offspring of a male horse and female donkey). In response to your first answerer, I must point out that humans and chimps are actually more closely related than many animals in the same genus. For example, lions and tigers are both placed in the genus Panthera, and are capable of interbreeding, but they are more distantly related than humans and chimps. Genetically speaking, we should be in the same genus as chimps - placing ourselves in a separate genus to all other animals is more to do with human arrogance than genetics. Chimps share around 98% of their genetic material with us. Also, not everyone agrees that dogs and wolves are the same species, though dogs are the direct descendants of the grey wolf."

I'm looking into adoption so please help? Answer by Admslongears Confidence votes 166You are correct, donkeys do not normally need as much feed as a horse. But in general, you should budget out about the same costs. The donkey still needs a fenced area, a shelter, fresh water. You will still need to provide good quality hay, and some grain as a supplement (oats, 9-10 % protein feed in small amounts). The donkey will need hoof care, worming and vaccinations as would a horse. The total cost may not be as low as half, but your feed bill itself will be lower.1 person found this useful Was this answer useful?"

"text": "\"Feeding Donkeys I'm going to write down everything that I understand about feeding donkeys, based on quite a bit of research and my own experience. I am always second guessing what to feed and how much but here's my honest understanding of the subject. Donkeys need: Coarse, low protein hay with low non-structural carbohydrates. If you have your hay tested, this number is referred to as NSC. Protein should be less than 9% but way lower protein (less than 5%) is okay too. They need barley straw (oat straw is too rich and wheat straw is too long and hard to digest.) Barley straw should make up 75% of their diet in winter, according to the UK Donkey Sanctuary. Why? Because donkeys are trickle feeders like horses, and need to eat small amounts of forage frequently. If this forage is in the form of grass or hay, you are giving them too many calories and they will get too fat, which in turn has many associated health risks."

"text": "\"Tweet A Donkey and Her Coltby Eric Lyons, M. Min. Although most Christians would rather not concern themselves with some of the more minute details of Jesus’ life reported in the New Testament, when challenged to defend the inerrancy of The Book that reports the beautiful story of Jesus, there are times when such details require our attention. Such is the case with Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem during the final week of His life. People who wear the name of Christ enjoy reading of the crowd’s cries of “Hosanna!,” and meditating upon the fact that Jesus went to Jerusalem to bring salvation to the world. Skeptics, on the other hand, read of this event and cry, “Contradiction!” Allegedly, Matthew misunderstood Zechariah’s prophecy, and thus contradicted what Mark, Luke, and John wrote regarding Jesus’ final entry into Jerusalem (see van den Heuvel, 2003). Matthew recorded the following: Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me. And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”"

Though they have a different need for speed, deer are pretty swift, but in the end, the horse probably will win the race. Fast and Agile Deer The white-tailed deer is the most abundant deer in the United States, though they aren't found in California, Nevada, Utah, Alaska and Hawaii. Speed is of the essence for this guy, as he has to be able to outrun large predators. Wolves, coyotes and mountain lions will give chase to deer, who rely on speed and agility to survive. The white-tailed deer can sprint as fast as 35 miles per hour; however, he can't maintain the speed for long periods of time. As a bonus, he's a great jumper, able to clear a 7-foot height from a standing position and up to 10 feet when running. He can bound well too, covering as much as 30 feet in a single leap. Horse Speed The horse has four gaits to choose from: a four-beat walk, averaging 4 miles per hour; a two-beat trot, averaging eight to 10 miles per hour; a three-beat gait known as a canter or lope, averaging 12 to 15 miles per hour; and the gallop."

[ 1] The statute makes it unlawful without a waiver to pursue, hunt, take, capture, kill, or sell birds listed therein as migratory birds. The statute does not discriminate between live or dead birds and also grants full protection to any bird parts including feathers, eggs, and nests. Over 800 species are currently on the list. [ 2]Some exceptions to the act, including the eagle feather law, are enacted in federal regulations ( 50 C. F. R. 22 ), which regulate the taking, possession, and transportation of bald eagles, golden eagles, and their \"\"parts, nests, and eggs\"\" for \"\"scientific, educational, and depredation control purposes; for the religious purposes of American Indian tribes; and to protect other interests in a particular locality.\"\" Enrolled members of federally recognized tribes may apply for an eagle permit for use in \"\" bona fide tribal religious ceremonies.\"\" [ 3]The U.

These include permits for taxidermy, falconry, propagation, scientific and educational use, and depredation, an example of the latter being the killing of geese near an airport, where they pose a danger to aircraft. The Act was enacted in an era when many bird species were threatened by the commercial trade in birds and bird feathers. The Act was one of the first federal environmental laws (the Lacey Act had been enacted in 1900)."

The regulations governing the hunting of migratory game birds are found in Part 20 of Title 50 of the Code of Federal Regulations. The regulation specifically dealing with baiting is found in 20.21 (I). This regulation states: No person shall take migratory game birds by the aid of baiting, or on or over any baited area. Hunting doves can be a problem if hunters do not understand the federal baiting regulations. Baited Areas A baited area means any area where shelled, shucked, or unshucked corn, wheat, or other grain, salt or other feed, whatsoever capable of luring, attracting, or enticing such birds is directly or indirectly placed, exposed, deposited, distributed or scattered. The regulation further states that such area shall remain a baited area for 10 days following complete removal of all such corn, wheat, or other grain, salt, or other feed. Thus, an area is considered baited for 10 days after the bait has been completely removed because birds habitually return to the same area for several days after their food supply no longer exists.

Pierce II Fisheries and Wildlife State Specialist School of Natural Resources Scott Sudkamp Quail and Small Game Coordinator Missouri Department of Conservation Nick Prough Chief Wildlife Biologist Quail and Upland Wildlife Federation Anthony Ohmes Agronomy Specialist University of Missouri Extension Mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) are among the most popular migratory game birds in Missouri (Figure 1). Though found across the state year-round, most Missouri doves migrate to the southern United States rather than overwinter here. Mourning doves are classified as a federal migratory species, which means the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service manages hunting regulations at the national level. Doves' quick flight, erratic movements and edible meat make them a popular species among hunters and wildlife enthusiasts in Missouri, where the annual harvest of mourning doves is greater than that of other game bird species. Managing habitats for doves can provide hours of enjoyment for homeowners and landowners alike. Doves find food and shelter in a variety of habitat types, including pastures, croplands, open forests and forest edges, and in urban and suburban areas. Establishing and managing fields for dove populations can provide recreational hunting opportunities during fall, which can be a source of income for the landowner. Before undertaking efforts to establish or improve dove habitats on your land, you should understand their life history and biology. With that in mind, you can implement management practices to improve or add habitat components that might be in short supply and improve the overall habitat for doves and other species."

The Commission had little choice but select a Sunday opening day, which is exactly what the five-man panel did. In choosing the Sabbath, the commissioners decided that a delay until 2 p.m. was necessary. “The only other option to include Labor Day would have been to open on Monday, and that really wasn’t an option,” commission chairman John Stanley of Corinth said. “ Sunday would at least give us two of the three weekend days. ”After Sunday, the legal hours change back to 30 minutes prior to sunrise until sunset.

A large, crow -sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. [ 4] [5] The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high speed dive), [6] making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. [ 7] [8] According to a National Geographic TV programme, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph). [ 9] [10]The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor, [11] and one of the most widely found bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area is not always naturally occurring, but one widely introduced by humans, the rock pigeon, which in turn now supports many peregrine populations as a prey species. The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks."

"text": "\"�Mourning Dove Distribution Mourning Doves (Zenaida macroura) are found in all counties of the Texas Panhandle, in every month of the year, and are an important migratory upland game bird. Resident populations occur year-round in our area. Cold fronts often move doves from the central United States southward into the Texas Panhandle and temporarily increase populations during late August, September, and early October; however, periods of wet weather often force doves southward out of the Texas Panhandle. A segment of the mourning dove population migrates south during the winter into south Texas, Mexico, and Central America. Description Mourning Doves are our most slender dove, with a long pointed tail, and fairly narrow pointed wings held close while flapping; however, on takeoff they produce a light airy whistling on takeoff. Song of a Mourning Dove is a mournful hooting oo AAh cooo cooo coo, often mistake for an owl. Identification tips are: Length: 10.5 inches Sexes similar Medium-sized, somewhat slender dove with very thin neck Black bill Adult Pale buff-brown head, neck, breast, and belly Purple and green iridescence on neck Small black mark on lower neck Medium brown back and upperwings, with black spots on coverts Long tail is pointed at tip Dark brown tail with white tips to outer four tail feathers Juvenile Dark brown mottled head neck and breast Scaly neck and upperwings with black spots on coverts and scapulars Pale belly Medium length tail is pointed at tip Similar species Long pointed tail is distinctive for adults Black spotting on coverts and pale color distinguish it from White-winged and White-tipped Doves Juvenile easily confused with Common Ground-Dove and Inca Dove but is longer necked shows a pointed tail with more white at edges lacks cinnamon in primaries. Habitat Mourning Dove are highly mobile species. They are capable of moving considerable distances to sources of free water. During late summer and early fall, large concentrations of mourning doves may be attracted to agricultural fields to feed on waste grain or patches of native annual sunflowers and other forbs."

"text": "North Carolina Dove Hunting Season Starts Monday, Sept. 1This entry was posted in Conservation Hunting North Carolina and tagged bird hunting dove hunting on August 26, 2014 by Beach Carolina Events RALEIGH, NC August 26, 2014 — The N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission reminds hunters that the dove hunting season opens Monday, Sept. 1, and to be safe throughout the season for these popular game birds. Dove hunting season opens Monday, Sept. 1. Shooting hours are half-hour before sunrise to sunset for the entire season, including opening day. The 2014-15 season for mourning and white-winged dove is Sept. 1 – Oct. 11 and Nov. 27 – Jan. 15. Daily bag limit is 15 and possession limit is 45.“Opening day is a Monday, not a traditional Saturday,” said Kate Pipkin, Wildlife Commission rules biologist. “ Although many hunters prefer the season to open the Saturday prior to Labor Day, federal guidelines do not allow states to open migratory game bird seasons prior to Sept. 1. Rather than wait until Sept. 6, which is the first Saturday after Labor Day, the Wildlife Commission went with the earliest possible date allowed by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. ”The Commission’s Home From The Hunt™ campaign encourages hunters to be safe and responsible in the field, with the following recommendations:· When hunting in a group, adhere to established zones of fire.· Never shoot at low-flying birds and alert others when a bird is too low for a safe shot.· Take time prior to hunting to walk the field and inspect the area for bait.·"

Maybe I’m a nerd – but at least I’m a Wisconsi nerd. Here are 20 official state symbols of Wisconsin… and one that could become official soon. After I learned more about the symbols that represent our state, I felt like I started to appreciate the world around me a little bit more.

Each show always features a great house transformation but it’s the stars of the show, Drew and Jonathan who really make the show a success. They have great personalities and they play off each other so well in the show. You can tell they are great friends as well as brothers. Jonathan and Drew are identical twins. If it weren’t for the way they are always dressed, it would be almost impossible to tell them apart. Drew is a Realtor, so he’s always in a suit and tie, while Jonathan is a contractor/builder and the one who actually oversees and works on the house makeovers that take place during each show. In addition to Property Brothers, the Scott brothers are the stars of several other shows including Buying & Selling and Brother vs Brother. Have you ever wondered where the Property Brothers, Drew and Jonathan Scott actually live? Where does a TV star Realtor and his TV star builder brother live?"

He's been dating the same woman for about a year, and it seems pretty darn serious; she even spent the holidays with his family! \"\" When you meet somebody who makes you smile and laugh non stop . . . you know you have something special. Well I've been smiling a lot lately. I'm truly happy,\"\" Jonathan captioned a photo of the two of them on Instagram. And yes, this means that both Property Brothers are off the market.

"text": "Home Celebrity Q&A Meet ‘The Property Brothers’Meet ‘The Property Brothers’By Paulette Cohn on April 5, 2012What info can you share about Drew and Jonathan Scott of HGTV’s The Property Brothers?— Joline Brown, Liberty, Mo. Twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott, 33, were naturals to host The Property Brothers because not only do they have 15 years of real estate experience, but they have been acting since they were kids. So they are comfortable in front of the camera. “I’m probably the only licensed contractor who is also a host of one of these shows,” Jonathan says. “ I have built houses from the ground up and have worked on many commercial projects as well. When we come to renovate a house on the show, I often know what to anticipate and I am prepared to deal with it. ”The Vancouver, Canada-born and raised brothers, who now split their time between their hometown and Las Vegas, grew up on a horse ranch and began riding at age 3. They both began acting and doing magic as children, possibly inspired by their father Jim, who worked as an actor and an assistant director in his younger days. Their initial interest in real estate came about as a means of raising money to fund film projects for their company, Dividian Production Group, which they founded with their older brother J. D. In 2004, the twins also established Scott Real Estate Inc., a company that oversees the sales and construction of residential and commercial projects and has offices in Vancouver, Calgary and Las Vegas. In addition to being a licensed contractor, Jonathan is also a professional illusionist and magician."

The film is based on Susan Orlean 's non-fiction book The Orchid Thief, with numerous self-referential events added. The film stars Nicolas Cage as Kaufman and his fictional twin brother Donald, Meryl Streep as Orlean, and Chris Cooper as John Laroche, with Cara Seymour, Brian Cox, Tilda Swinton, Ron Livingston, and Maggie Gyllenhaal in supporting roles. Adaptation had been in development as far back as 1994. Jonathan Demme brought the project to Columbia Pictures with Kaufman writing the script. Kaufman experienced writer's block and did not know what to think of The Orchid Thief; he ultimately wrote a script based on his experience of adapting the book into a screenplay. Jonze signed to direct, and filming was finished in June 2001."

"text": "Binge Drinking Tweet What Is Binge Drinking and Why Is It a Problem? Binge drinking is a common form of alcohol abuse, and for some individuals and their families, it can be a serious and dangerous activity. However, there is some confusion as to what binge drinking actually consists of. To put it simply, binge drinking is the consumption of an excessive number of alcoholic beverages, usually assumed to be more than five, in order to obtain a state of intoxication. Some alcohol users only refer to alcohol use as a “binge” if it’s carried out over the course of several days. This type of binge drinking can be extremely dangerous and can lead to: Alcohol poisoning Liver damage Kidney damage A physical dependency on alcohol Binge drinking may occur when a person is trying to fit in with friends, deal with stress, or after a major life event. It can be alarming to notice a friend or family member binge drinking, so if you’ve noticed this type of activity or if you binge drink regularly, it may be time to look for alcohol abuse treatment to stop this potentially dangerous behavior. When Binge Drinking Becomes Alcoholism Binge drinking is very much related to alcoholism, but the presence of binge drinking doesn’t necessarily mean that a person has a severe alcohol addiction. The binge drinker may simply have unsafe drinking habits. However, as alcoholism is a serious disease and alcohol abuse can damage the body even in a single binge drinking session, it’s best to recognize the signs of dependency."

The Jim Crow laws were a number of laws requiring racial segregation in the United States. These laws were enforced in different states between 1876 and 1965. \"\" Jim Crow\"\" laws provided a systematic legal basis for segregating and discriminating against African Americans. The laws first appeared after the Civil War and the Reconstruction Era and were enforced through the mid-twentieth century. They were about segregating black and white people in all public buildings. \"\" Jim Crow\"\" was a racist term for a black person. Black people were usually treated worse than white people.

Time permitting, you should make an effort to see not just the Capitol Building, the Supreme Court steps, and the Library of Congress, but head further east to see this beautiful neighborhood, and to have a nice meal on Barracks Row while listening to the politicos chatter away. The Hill extends several miles east of the Capitol to RFK Stadium and the Anacostia river. Understand [ edit]The U. S. Capitol Building Capitol Hill, just east of the National Mall, plays a central role in the country's political life, as two of the three branches of the federal government—the legislative and the judicial—are located here. The government spills far over into the neighborhood itself, as this is the favorite residential section of town for congressional staffers, as well as any other type of politico you can imagine. Streets are abuzz with intense political debate, and you'll encounter this head on when visiting a neighborhood bar or restaurant. It's definitely worth it to learn a little more about the American political system before visiting \"\"the Hill\"\". The United States is the world's oldest democracy, and the sight of that democracy in action is a beautiful one."

"text": "\"Temperance and Prohibition Era Propaganda: A Study in Rhetoricby Leah Rae Berk Beginnings: The Minister and the Physician Team Up In 1805, Benjamin Rush, a physician from Philadelphia, wrote an essay titled \"\"The Effects of Ardent Spirits Upon Man\"\". Rush's writing reflected the changing attitudes towards distilled alcohol at the time, especially among the US medical community. Rush's article drew upon ideas from a century earlier; at the beginning of the eighteenth century, medical practitioners began taking a more scientific approach to medicine. Scientists and doctors like Rush felt that the American public needed to be made aware of the health hazards inherent in alcohol consumption. Rush's argument against the consumption of ardent spirits was not only scientific, but also moral. At the end of his essay, Rush described the moral evils that resulted from the use of distilled spirits such as fraud, theft, uncleanliness and murder (Runes 339). Not long after Rush began writing about alcohol's detrimental effects on moral and physical health, he began a correspondence with the Boston Minister Jeremy Belknap. The physician and the minister soon became collaborators, using a mixture of scientific and moral claims in their fight against the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The teaming up of the minister and the physician is emblematic of a century of rhetoric surrounding alcohol use and abuse in America. For over a century, Americans argued for abstinence from alcohol using a combination of scientific and moral reasons."

"text": "Travel Tips Cruise Spending Money, How Much Should I Bring? Published5 years agoon August 9, 2013By Doug Parker0 1 0 1 12Subscribe to Cruise Radio News by Email The question I’m always asked: How much money should I bring on my cruise? Personally I always prepay my gratuities, shore excursions and pre-order alcohol, which cuts out on expenses. I figure the more I pre-pay, the less out of pocket when I am ready to set sail. Cruise spending money factors to consider:1. Drinking. Depending on how much you drink on vacation depends on how much money you should put into the daily budget. Lets just say every drink costs $8, if you’re good for five drinks a day, consider $40 per person. Tip: Pre-order your alcohol with the cruise lines bon voyage packages. It’s more expensive than the liquor store but cheaper than per-drink.2."

Contents1 History1.1 Dixie cups2 Manufacture2.1 Waterproofing2.2 Printing on paper cups3 Environmental impact4 Lids5 See also6 References6.1 Notes6.2 Bibliography History Early in the 20th century, it was common to have shared glasses or dippers at water sources such as school faucets or water barrels in trains. This shared use caused public health concerns. One notable investigation into their use was the study by Alvin Davison, biology professor at Lafayette College, published with the sensational title \"\"Death in School Drinking Cups\"\" in Technical World Magazine in August 1908, based on research carried out in Easton, Pennsylvania 's public schools. The article was reprinted and distributed by the Massachusetts State Board of Health in November 1909. [ 5]Based on these concerns, and as paper goods (especially after the 1908 invention of the Dixie Cup) became cheaply and cleanly available, local bans were passed on the shared-use cup. One of the first railway companies to use disposable paper cups was the Lackawanna Railroad, which began using them in 1909. By 1917, the public glass had disappeared from railway carriages, replaced by paper cups even in jurisdictions where public glasses had yet to be banned. [ 6]Paper cups are also employed in hospitals for health reasons."

Is Voted Dry\"\", Anti-Saloon League Museum When the Mayor of Berlin, Gustav Boess, visited New York City in the fall of 1929, one of the questions he had for his host, Mayor James J. Walker, was when Prohibition was to go into effect. The problem was that Prohibition has already been the law of the United States for nearly a decade. That Boess had to ask tells you plenty about how well it was working. The Noble Experiment When the Prohibition era in the United States began on January 19, 1920, a few sage observers predicted it would not go well. Certainly, previous attempts to outlaw the use of alcohol in American history had fared poorly. When a Massachusetts town banned the sale of alcohol in 1844, an enterprising tavern owner took to charging patrons for the price of seeing a striped pig—the drinks came free with the price of admission. When Maine passed a strict prohibition law in 1851, the result was not temperance, but resentment among the city's working class and Irish immigrant population. A deadly riot in Portland in 1855 lead to the law's repeal. Now, Prohibition was being implemented on a national scale, and being enshrined in the Constitution no less. What followed was a litany of unintended consequences."

Juicing is an easy way to virtually guarantee that you will reach your daily target for vegetables. There are three main reasons why you will want to consider vegetable juicing: it 1) allows you to absorb all the nutrients from vegetables, 2) allows you to consume an optimal amount of vegetables in an efficient manner, and 3) you can add a variety of vegetables to your diet. Vegetable juice has very little protein and virtually no fat. While carb and mix types will strongly benefit from juicing, protein types need to follow some specific guidelines to make juicing work for them.

"text": "\"Certain vehicle registration fees are deductible. That pesky vehicle registration notice has come around once again, meaning it's time to write a check to the DMV just for the privilege of putting your wheels on the public roads. The small consolation prize associated with the annual tag-and-license ritual is the possibility of claiming your registration fee as a deduction on your federal tax return. Itemizing In order to deduct any taxes or fees, including an auto registration fee, you need to itemize deductions. That means listing the deductions individually on Schedule A, Line 7, and then carrying the total over to your Form 1040. You can't take the standard deduction and then add registration fees. The IRS recommends comparing your itemized deductions to the standard deduction; if the sum of your itemized deductions is less than the standard deduction, you're better off just taking the standard deduction and dispensing with Schedule A. Limitations The IRS places car-registration fees in the category of a \"\"personal property tax,\"\" which is deductible under some conditions. You can deduct the fee as along as it is figured as a percentage of your car's value. The higher the value, in these cases, the higher the registration cost, and the more valuable the deduction. The registration must also be assessed once a year, even if you are allowed to pay in installments."

If so, you can offset some of the expenses related to your relocation by taking a tax deduction for the costs that meet certain qualifications. Tax laws The rules for moving expenses are far less generous than they have been in years past, however. In years past, you could deduct expenses for a house-hunting trip. That’s gone by the wayside. You can no longer deduct meals during a move. If you drive a moving truck across the country with the family, all those restaurant meals are non-deductible. If your employer reimburses you for nondeductible expenses such as meals, you may have to pay tax on the reimbursement. Deductible moving expenses If you move more than 50 miles for work, and you or your spouse work at least 39 weeks in your new location (78 weeks if you are self-employed), you generally can deduct the following moving expenses: Auto expenses, using either actual expenses or the standard rate for moving (19 cents per mile in 2012)Parking and tolls Lodging during the move Cost to move household goods and personal items In-transit and foreign-move storage expenses One trip per member of your household Lodging en route, including one day at the old location and one day at the new location Nondeductible moving expenses You cannot deduct: Additional vehicle expenses, such as general repairs, maintenance, insurance, or depreciation House-hunting trip expenses, or any other travel that exceeds one trip per member of your household Costs of settling in to your new home, including car tags, dog licenses, driver’s license, or club fees Security deposits lost at the old home The cost of breaking a lease at the old home Costs of selling the old home or buying a new one, including closing costs, mortgage fees, and points Loss on the sale of the old home Lost memberships and so on at the old location Return trips to settle affairs at the old home Meals during the move Storage for an extended period of time after the move Any expenses for which you take a business deduction Additional expenses for sightseeing, or the extra expense of taking a circuitous, scenic route."

"text": "\"What does \"\"totaled\"\" mean? If you've been in an auto accident and your car is totaled (also called total loss), it means your car isn't repairable, or it costs more to repair than what it's worth. What the insurer owes you for your totaled car The insurer owes you the actual cash value (retail market value) of your totaled car. If you and the insurer can't agree on the method to come up with the retail market value, the insurer must follow the total loss rules outlined in state regulations (leg.wa.gov). These rules allow the insurer to choose one or more of the following methods to determine the value of your car: Offer to replace your car with an available and comparable car (leg.wa.gov) in your local area. Offer you a cash settlement based on the actual cash value of comparable cars in your local area. If you and the insurer agree, the insurer may use other appraisal methods, such as independent auto-value guides (Kelley Blue Book, NADA, etc.). If your insurer can't find comparable cars in the area where you normally park your car, it may expand the search in 25-mile increments until it finds two or more comparable cars. With your permission, it may extend the search beyond 150 miles. The insurer must add to the actual cash value any applicable taxes, license fees and other fees required to transfer ownership."

That’s 27% of the population that should be taking advantage of tax deductions available to entrepreneurs and independent contractors. A fraction of that 80 million, Uber Drivers, have been getting the majority of the attention due to Uber’s rapid growth and controversy but none of the press has helped put more money into the pocket of the drivers. As the author of The Lateral Freelancer, Saul of Hearts put it, “I had hoped to see more progress on worker protections and benefits by now.

In 1995, Swiss researchers identified a gene that functions as a master switch to trigger the development of the eye in Drosophila. A similar gene triggers eye development in mammals. Developmental biologists are discovering remarkable similarities in the mechanisms that shape diverse organisms. While geneticists were advancing from Mendel’s laws to an understanding of the molecular basis of inheritance, developmental biologists were focusing on embryology. Embryology is the study of the stages of development leading from fertilized egg to fully formed organism. In recent years, the concepts and tools of molecular genetics have reached a point where a real synthesis of genetics and developmental biology has been possible. When the primary research goal is to understand broad biological principles, the organism chosen for study is called a model organism. Researchers select model organisms that are representative of a larger group, suitable for the questions under investigation, and easy to grow in the lab. For study of the connections between genes and development, suitable model organisms have short generation times and small genomes that are suitable for genetic analysis."

Different parts of the embryo have different concentrations of hedgehog signaling proteins. The pathway also has roles in the adult. Diseases associated with the malfunction of this pathway include basal cell carcinoma. [ 1]The Hedgehog signaling pathway is one of the key regulators of animal development and is present in all bilaterians. [ 2] The pathway takes its name from its polypeptide ligand, an intercellular signaling molecule called Hedgehog ( Hh) found in fruit flies of the genus Drosophila. The signaling molecule Hh, in turn, takes its name from the animal hedgehog, because of the appearance of fruit fly larva lacking the Hh gene. Hh is one of Drosophila's segment polarity gene products, involved in establishing the basis of the fly body plan. Larvae without Hh, are short and spiny, resembling the hedgehog animal. The molecule remains important during later stages of embryogenesis and metamorphosis."

It relies on recognition systems (receptors) that were selected during phylogeny and which in part are shared with non-vertebrate organisms. Receptors of innate immunity are encoded within the germ-line and do not undergo somatic recombination. Humoral as well as cellular mechanisms are involved, which interact at multiple levels and are expressed on immune and non-immune cells to ensure an appropriate and efficient defense response. Innate and adaptive immunity are interconnected. Activation of innate immune cells is a necessary prerequisite for induction of adaptive immune responses. Multiple effector mechanisms of adaptive immunity ultimately rely on the clearance function of innate immune cells. Moreover, the products of the adaptive immune system will enhance the efficacy of innate immune responses. Thus, in vertebrates, innate and adaptive immunity act in a well-tuned concert to ascertain an effective antipathogen response. Previous chapter Next chapter1."

Sex determination [ edit]The gene is expressed in both male and female flies and is subject to alternative splicing, producing the protein isoforms dsx f in females and the longer dsx m in males. The production of dsx f is caused by the presence of the female-specific version of the transformer ( tra) gene.

Go to: Abstract In vertebrate neurons, axons have a uniform arrangement of microtubules with plus ends distal to the cell body (plus-end-out), and dendrites have equal numbers of plus- and minus-end-out microtubules. To determine whether microtubule orientation is a conserved feature of axons and dendrites, we analyzed microtubule orientation in invertebrate neurons. Using microtubule plus end dynamics, we mapped microtubule orientation in Drosophila sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. As expected, all axonal microtubules have plus-end-out orientation. However, in proximal dendrites of all classes of neuron, ∼90% of dendritic microtubules were oriented with minus ends distal to the cell body. This result suggests that minus-end-out, rather than mixed orientation, microtubules are the signature of the dendritic microtubule cytoskeleton. Surprisingly, our map of microtubule orientation predicts that there are no tracks for direct cargo transport between the cell body and dendrites in unipolar neurons."

Docking of atomic structures into cryo-EM density maps suggests how regulated myosin filaments are ‘switched off’, bringing about muscle relaxation.

Nüsslein-Volhard won the 1995 Nobel Prize for Medicine for her work on the genetic control of development in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster . The genetic mechanisms of development are better understood in this organism than in any other, and this understanding is based in no small part on the work of Nüsslein-Volhard. Because fruit flies have a short generation time and are small and easy to grow, they have been used extensively in genetics, in which they are model organisms. Naturally-occurring fruit fly mutants have been recognized for over a century, and mutations can easily be introduced into these organisms by exposing their eggs to ultraviolet radiation. The Hox genes, which were first discovered in fruit flies, encode transcription factors which are instrumental in regulating body formation during development . They belong to a family of genes called homeotic genes, which are characterized by a DNA sequence of approximately 180 base pairs, called the homeobox. This DNA sequence codes for the homeodomain, a DNA-binding domain consisting of about 60 amino acid residues. Hox genes are highly conserved in evolution, suggesting that they are of ancient origin. They appear to have arisen through duplication of an original Hox gene long ago."

"text": "November 8, 2016 Research NEURAL CIRCUITS AT THE BRAIN SCALE [ENGERT LAB]A longstanding goal of neuroscience is to figure out how the brain reacts to what is happening in the outside world. But it has been challenging to map the complete neural pathways transforming sensory input into appropriate actions. In recent years, researchers have made significant progress towards understanding complete neural circuits in the nervous systems of small invertebrate model organisms, such as the nematode C. elegans and the fruit fly Drosophila. By combining a variety of new technologies, scientists have been able to delineate the processes by which chemosensory (i.e. smell), thermosensory (i.e. heat), mechanosensory (i.e. touch), or visual stimuli generate specific motor outputs in these animals. In each of these cases, the stereotypy and small size of the invertebrate brain, and the identifiability of its neurons, were essential for determining neural circuit architectures and dynamics. The circuits revealed in invertebrates, however, are unlikely to translate one-to-one to the more complex vertebrate versions like our human brain, which are not only much bigger but also fundamentally different in structure. However, efforts to map the neural activity and connectivity of most vertebrate brains are compromised by the insufficient resolution necessary to decipher the precise nature of the way individual neurons interact. Thus, little is known about how our many (>1010) neurons and their seemingly endless, redundant, and complex neural circuits collaborate to transform sensory signals into behavior. As a proxy for the human brain, researchers have traditionally focused on measuring neural activity in mammalian vertebrate models. But in rodents, we literally have only patchy knowledge about how the intact brain processes information from the outside world."

In particular, a wealth of neuromodulatory mechanisms have been uncovered that can alter the input–output relationship of a hereditary neural circuit. It is now clear that this inbuilt flexibility allows animals to modify their behavioral responses according to environmental cues, metabolic demands and physiological states. Here, we discuss recent insights into how modulation of neural circuits impacts innate behavior, with a special focus on how environmental cues and internal physiological states shape different aspects of feeding behavior in Drosophila.

Although considered to be hardwired, innate behavior is also flexible and subject to modulation by internal states (e.g. satiety state) and external contexts of the stimuli (e.g. environmental cues) [ 1–6 ]. Dissecting the mechanisms whereby external and internal contexts of stimuli influence the behavioral outputs of a hardwired circuit might appear a daunting task. However, aided by powerful genetic tools, much progress has recently been made to address this fascinating question in genetic model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophlia melanogaster (for review, see [ 1,2,4,7 ])."

This paper explores the utility of the concepts of hormonal organization and activation of behavior in insects.

There is good evidence for activational effects of hormones on the nervous system and behavior in insects, but they are usually called releaser or modifier effects ( Truman and Riddiford, 1974 ). Organizational effects are almost never discussed in the insect literature (c.f. Truman 1992, 1995) and the term is not even mentioned in the most recent authoritative review of insect hormones ( Nijhout, 1994 ). There are, however, several examples of hormone-mediated polymorphisms and polyphenisms that imply organizational effects (reviewed in Applebaum and Heifetz, 1999; Nijhout, 1999a,b ). Sometimes they are termed morphogenic or primer effects ( Truman and Riddiford, 1974 )."

As with all vertebrates, nerve cells in the human eye separate an image into different image channels once it has been projected onto the retina and pre-sorted information is then transmitted to the brain as parallel image sequences. Perception by the brain is another matter. For many animal species, \"\"seeing\"\" is one of the most important senses because every second the eyes record a huge number of impressions which are converted by the photoreceptor cells into electrical signals - that image processing begins in the retina of the eye, where nerve cells separate out the visual information in images featuring different content before transmitting them to the brain. To understand something as complex as \"\"seeing\"\", scientists examined a somewhat simpler but extremely efficient system – the fruit fly's brain. Despite their tiny size, fruit flies are ideal candidates for such research because they are masters of visual processing, the number of nerve cells involved is manageable, meaning each individual cell can be examined, and genetic tools make it possible to block individual cells and analyze their role in the system. Each individual eye in the fly's compound eye perceives \"\"on\"\" and \"\"off\"\" contrast changes. This information is split up right behind each individual eye (blue arrow). The L1 cells only transmit information about \"\"on\"\" edges (\"\"light on\"\"), the L2 cells only about \"\"off\"\" edges (\"\"light off\"\") to the output cells (green).

Friedman Princeton University Introduction Aniridia is a human genetic disease that is manifested by alterations in the structure and function of the eye, including reduced iris size, absence of the fovea, and lens deformities (Glaser, et al. 1992). First documented as a genetic disease over 150 years ago, it has since become a model for autosomal dominant genetic disorders because of the high penetrance of its mutant alleles, the ease of diagnosis at birth, and a similar incidence in various populations (Glaser, et al. 1995). It was not until recently, however, that the aniridia gene (AN) was mapped (to chromosome band 11p13) and determined to be the gene PAX6 (Glaser, et al. 1992), a regulator of development of the eyes and central nervous system. There is a PAX6 dosage effect in aniridia ranging from mild loss of visual acuity and cataracts to severe nervous system defects and anopthalmia (complete absence of the eyes) (Glaser, et al. 1994). Many of the studies that led to the identification of PAX6 as the human aniridia gene were conducted in mammals and insects and demonstrated that PAX6 is highly conserved among vertebrates and lower animals. PAX6 homologues have been found in mice (Small eye, or Sey), rats, zebrafish, quail, and the fly Drosophila (eyeless, or ey) with amino acid sequence identities of approximately 90% (Quiring, et al."

According to the U. S. Census Bureau in 2010, over 41% of the U. S. female population was 45 years of age or older. But flip through a women’s fitness magazine or scroll through fitness-related articles and you’d think it’s a much smaller percentage, due to their underrepresentation. ( I’m to blame too. I haven’t provided information specifically for this group until now. ) As we get older, our needs and goals change. Our strength training workouts will likely be different in our 50s compared to what we did in our 20s. To ensure we still make progress and remain healthy and injury free, there are some adjustments you can make to your workouts. Let’s begin with strength training tips for women over 40, then we’ll discuss nutrition and lifestyle considerations for menopause, since that brings more changes into the mix.

While there’s a time and a place for nearly any exercise under the right circumstance, some movements are simply more effective than others. And it should be no surprise that the ones that build a foundation for skills that you’ll use in everyday tasks will be the most beneficial for improving your fitness and quality of life. RELATED: The 15 Most Underrated Exercises You’re Not Doing, According to Trainers So how does a lifter ensure they’re making all the right moves? If you’ve plateaued or aren’t seeing the results you’re banking on, it’s time to get back to basics with these seven moves. From increased strength, better core stability, greater athleticism and improved overall health, these key exercises need to find their way into your routine. GIF: Daily Burn DB101. Goblet Squat Squats are an exercise many people struggle to perform safely and effectively. Luckily, the goblet squat is a great progression from a bodyweight squat before squatting with a bar. Because the load is held in front, the core works double-time to keep you tall, while your legs work to control your movement down and stand back up."

"text": "\"Overhead press From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The press, overhead press or shoulder press is a weight training exercise, typically performed while standing, in which a weight is pressed straight upwards from racking position until the arms are locked out overhead. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Movement2 Equipment3 Variations4 Biomechanics (Military press)5 See also6 References7 Bibliography8 Further reading Movement [ edit]The overhead press is set up by taking a barbell or other weight and putting it in racking position. This can be done by taking the weight from a rack or by cleaning the weight from the floor ( clean and press ). The weight is then pressed to overhead until the elbows are fully locked out. As the weight clears the head, the lifter leans forward slightly, or comes directly under, in order to keep balance. As the weight is lowered back to racking position and clears the head again, the lifter leans slightly back. The overhead press is a highly effective compound upper-body exercise. Performing it standing recruits many more muscle groups in order to maintain balance and support the lift, rather than performing it seated. Like the squat and deadlift, it can be thought of as a whole-body exercise, to some extent. Equipment [ edit]The overhead press can be performed with any type of weight/equipment, but is commonly performed with: Barbell Dumbbell Kettlebell Out of those, the dumbbell and kettlebell provide unilateral qualities, and out of those the kettlebell provides the most variety due to the grip attributes of the kettlebell, over 50+ press variations can be created through changing of: Grip Angle Stance Etc."

This one also makes you more flexible than other exercises. You begin by sitting on the ground in a straddle (one leg on either side) position. Hold a dumbbell at your shoulder height and press it overhead. Do not lead towards the back. Just keep your legs straight as you exercise. Repeat this on both sides. Men who are starting with this shouldn’t use more than 13 percent or their body weight. And women should go with 5. Allow 5 reps each and see the difference."

"text": "By Elizabeth Lowry , Spark People Blogger 1/18/2018 You should not have to join a fancy gym or spend loads of money on home fitness equipment in order to build lean body mass. Using simple at-home objects such as canned food, a towel or even a chair can be just as effective as using a dumbbell or a resistance band. Remember, the body does not know the difference between lifting a one-pound can of beans or a dumbbell. As long as you are overloading the muscles (even if that overload is from your own body weight) you will build muscle strength. If you have limited mobility or are recovering from an injury, you don't have to sit still and do nothing. Consider exercising right from the comfort of your home in a seated position. Using a chair and a light set of dumbbells (or soup cans) can help challenge your back, shoulders, abs, biceps, triceps, glutes, quads and calves. One of the great things about these exercises is that you can do them anywhere you have access to a chair, whether at home or on the job. Aim for eight to 12 reps of each exercise, starting with one set and working up to two to three sets total as you become stronger. Back & Shoulders Seated Dumbbell Rows: Sit at the edge of a chair with your legs together and back straight."

"text": "\"Front Squat Written by Lynn Glenn The Front Squat, also known as a Barbell Front Squat, is simply a squat done with the barbell on your front shoulders instead of on your upper-back. The Front Squat involves the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, lower back and gluteus maximus muscles. The Front Squat is one of the most effective exercises for targeting the quadriceps and at the same time strengthening your entire core. The Front Squat also minimizes spinal compression and therefore places less stress on your lower back. Main Benefits of the Front Squat Click Here Quadriceps Muscle Physiology Summary Quadriceps (quads) is large group of muscles on the front of the upper leg, often referred to as the thighs. The Quadriceps are so named because they are a group of four (quad = four) different muscles: the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus intermedialis. The quadricep is the strongest and leanest muscle in the human body. The Rectus femoris occupies the middle of the thigh, covering most of the other three quadriceps muscles. It originates on the ilium. It is named from its straight course."

"text": "\"Most of us want to lose belly fat and build sexy abs, but sadly, most people go about it the wrong way. By that I mean, most people crank out thousands of crunches, sit-ups and other ab exercises that do little to burn belly fat while placing increased stress on the lower back. You can think of your abs as a beautiful window and the layer of fat covering your abs (and you have one) as a set of curtains. You can't see the window until you get rid of that curtain. The reason crunches can't do that for you is because they're simply too small a movement to burn many calories, and you need to burn calories to finally shed that belly fat. [ Read: How to Overcome a Workout Rut . ] If you're going to work your abs, you might as well work them in a way that will accomplish that for you, instead of doing one thing (like cardio) to burn calories and another (like crunches) to work your abs. I want to share five truly effective moves that will both work your abs AND burn the fat that's hiding those abs. These exercise are so incredibly effective because they engage your entire core and use large movements, which burn far more calories than isolated moves can. The more muscles you engage, the more oxygen and calories you need to perform the exercise, and that's where the fat-burning begins."

How to Lower a Deadlift The deadlift is a full-body exercise that works almost all muscle groups. It must be done carefully and with good technique, however, because an incorrect deadlift can strain muscles and joints in the back. You should practice deadlifting with very light weights until you master the technique to keep your spine straight throughout the lift. You can increase the weight once you develop deadlift skill. Basic Deadlift Groups A basic deadlift uses back, buttock, hip and leg muscles to raise weights from a squatting position to standing erect. It works the primary muscles and secondary, or stabilizing, muscles in all of those areas. The move has less effect on arms as the arms are kept straight holding the weights -- either a barbell or dumbbells -- during the lift. Named Muscles The specific primary muscles used in a deadlift are the erector spinae, gluteus maximus, quadriceps, hamstrings and adductors. The secondary or stabilizing muscles are the trapezius, rhomboids, flexors, extensors, serratus anterior, rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus, gluteus medius/minimus, soleus and the gastrocnemius."

This trauma is muscle breakdown that occurs when you exercise your legs against a heavy resistance. According to Dr. Len Kravitz, muscle fibers respond to the trauma of strength training by attaching to satellite cells to repair damage. This creates a larger muscle fiber size. The pile squat involves a dumbbell to provide resistance and increase the size of your leg muscles. Squat Your body position in a pile squat is the same as in plie squats, sumo squats or wide-stance barbell squats. The difference between the squats often refers to the piece of resistance equipment used during the exercise. When you perform the pile squat, you hold a single dumbbell. The motion of the dumbbell during the squat resembles that of a pile driver. The plie and sumo squats typically do not use equipment."

I know many NF readers are hardcore Crossfit or elite gym fanatics, but for a lot of us the monthly cost of an expensive membership is incredibly prohibitive. Home gyms often lack the necessary equipment (squat racks, barbells, heavy dumbbells, etc.) to get a full workout, so we resort to the LA Fitness, 24-Hour Fitness, or Gold’s Gym right down the street. Let’s be honest, it’s tough to train like a Nerd Fitness rebel when you’re trapped within the confines of the Empire in a globo-gym. You’re surrounded by crappy music, useless machines, and people who generally have no idea what they’re doing (this includes both clients and trainers). Fortunately, I’ve devised a solid training mentality that allows me to work out without being bothered by imperial soldiers. I’ve been exercising in various commercial gyms since I was sixteen, and they’re all pretty much the same: Walls full of treadmills and elliptical machines Dozens and dozens of “weight-lifting” machines A room for low-impact cardio aerobic classes A section in the back or upstairs for the free weights Although it’s certainly possible to exercise like a rebel in a commercial gym, it’s practically impossible to do so undetected: I always get weird looks (thanks to my Vibram Five Fingers ), I usually piss off the meatheads for using the squat rack for squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, and power cleans while they impatiently wait to do their fifteen sets of bicep curls. I usually get at least two “are you crazy?” looks when I load up a belt with weights to do my pull ups and chin ups."

Here are some factors to consider before you install a non-working camera in your business: Dummy Security Cameras Do Nothing A dummy security camera is about as useful as a stuffed Doberman. The dummy camera does not help you record activity. It does not allow you monitor your premises. It just hangs there on the wall and, by design, does nothing. So why expend the money and effort? Dummy Cameras Fool No One But, you strenuously object, a dummy camera is a deterrent."

"text": "Photography Cameras Nikon Camera Wi-Fi Transfer App for Your Nikon D5300Wi-Fi Transfer App for Your Nikon D5300Related Book Nikon D5300 For Dummies By Julie Adair King Your Nikon D5300’s Wi-Fi feature enables you to connect your camera wirelessly to certain “smart” devices: specifically, Android and Apple i OS-based phones, tablets, and media players (such as Apple’s i Pod touch). Before you can enjoy this function, you must install the Nikon Mobile Wireless Utility app on your device. For Android-based devices, search for the app at the Google Play Store; for Apple i OS devices, head for the Apple App store. The application is free, but if you’ve never downloaded any apps, you have to register for an account and give a credit card number (required in case you ever want to download fee-based apps). Be sure to read the details on the download page to make sure that your device is running the required operating software to use the app. After installing the app, you can perform the following functions: Use the smart device to view photos that are on the camera memory card. Depending on the size of your device, this enables you to get a little larger view of your photos than the camera’s monitor offers. Transfer photos from the memory card to the smart device. You can then view the photos, upload them to Facebook or other social media sites, or attach them to e-mail or text messages via your device’s normal wireless network or cell-based data connection. Use the smart device to trigger the camera’s shutter."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Radar detectors)navigation search For the song by Darwin Deez, see Radar Detector. An early radar detector Car radar detector (Japanese)A radar detector is an electronic device used by motorists to detect if their speed is being monitored by police or law enforcement using a radar gun. Most radar detectors are used so the driver can reduce the car's speed before being ticketed for speeding. In general sense, only emitting technologies, like doppler RADAR, or LIDAR can be detected. Visual speed estimating techniques, like ANPR or VASCAR can not be detected in daytime, but technically vulnerable to detection at night, when IR spotlight is used. There are no reports that piezo sensors, can be detected. LIDAR devices require an optical-band sensor, although many modern detectors include LIDAR sensors. Most of today's radar detectors detect signals across a variety of wavelength bands: usually X, K, and K a. In Europe the K u band is common as well. The past success of radar detectors was based on the fact that radio-wave beam can not be narrow-enough, so the detector usually senses stray and scattered radiation, giving the driver time to slow down. Based on focused laser-beam, LIDAR technology is deprived of this shortcoming; however requires precise aiming."

Let me know what you think ELVIS: DEAD OR ALIVE ? 1. Elvis’ name is misspelled on his tombstone. Elvis’ full name is Elvis ‘Aron’ Presley…, not Elvis ‘Aaron’ Presley. His father would not have let this happen. When Elvis was born, his name was misspelled on his birth certificate and his father went to great lengths to get the error corrected. The spelling of Elvis’ name was very important to the Presley family. They wanted Elvis to see that Aron was part of Garon (Garon is the middle name of Elvis’ twin brother that was stillborn)."

"text": "\"I'm with Seiz-Her A video clip purportedly shows presidential candidate Hillary Clinton undergoing a seizure on camera, but there's no credible evidence she actually did.2CLAIMHillary Clinton experienced a brief seizure while speaking on-camera in June 2016. RATINGUnproven ORIGINRumors about Democratic presidential candidate’s having some kind of (potentially debilitating) neurological disorder have circulated ever since the then-secretary of state fainted from dehydration while suffering from a stomach virus and sustained a concussion in December 2012. Those rumors were resurrected in July 2016 when a video clip of Clinton was circulated along with claims that it showed her experiencing a brief seizure and proved she was ill and unfit to hold office: This was more than a month old when it went viral in July 2016. NBC News posted a video of the incident taken from another angle on 10 June 2016 and explained that Clinton had just been asked about the possibility of her selecting Elizabeth Warren as her running mate as she left a meeting with the Massachusetts senator: Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is asked by NBC News’ Monica Alba if she discussed a possible V. P. role with Sen. Elizabeth Warren. The occurrence depicted above was covered by several news outlets in June 2016, with none of them reporting the candidate had experienced a “seizure.” The Hill, for instance, reported that Clinton “exaggeratedly bob (bed) her head” after reporters repeated the question about Warren, while the New York Daily News wrote that Clinton “gave an exaggerated startled response” to the question. CBS reporter Hannah Chanpong suggested that Clinton movements were simply an exaggerated reaction to her being “startled” when some reporters in her blind spot started suddenly barraging her with questions about her putative vice presidential choice. The fact that Clinton immediately repeated her initial reaction for humorous effect supports the hypothesis that it stemmed from a conscious movement and not an involuntary seizure: Clinton, seemingly startled by us reporters, says “try the cold Chai” when asked if she discussed VPs with Warren. pic.twitter.com/oi CD5ho E0h— Hannah Chanpong (@hannahfc) June 10, 2016Notably, rumors that Clinton was captured on camera underoing a seizure didn’t start circulating until well over a month later, when they were presented without any evidence beyond uninformed speculation.

"text": "Photography Digital Photography Exposure For Dummies Cheat Sheet Cheat Sheet Digital Photography Exposure For Dummies Cheat Sheet Understanding the art and science of exposure in digital photography involves three main settings on your camera (which is probably a digital SLR, or d SLR): aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. Adjusting these interrelated settings will alter the look of your photos, and when you understand how these settings work, you’ll begin to take the kinds of eye-catching and impressive photos that you probably dreamed about when you first invested in a quality digital camera. Understanding How Your Digital Camera’s Exposure Settings Work Taking great digital photos requires an understanding of how to use your digital camera’s exposure settings, whether you have an SLR camera or a point-and-shoot camera. The combination of shutter speed and aperture determines how much light hits the digital sensor in your camera, and the ISO setting determines how quickly the sensor responds to the light. A simple way to illustrate how the three exposure settings work together is to think of filling a water bucket. Here are the components of this analogy: A full bucket = a good exposure The size of the bucket = the ISOThe size of the garden hose = the lens aperture The amount of time it takes to fill the bucket = the shutter speed Say you’re in your yard with a bucket and garden hoses of different sizes. The bigger the garden hose, the faster you can fill the bucket. You can fill the bucket by using any size garden hose you want, but the size of the hose determines how much time it takes to fill the bucket. If you want the bucket to fill up faster without using a bigger garden hose, you can use a smaller bucket. To put the water-bucket analogy in photography terms, think of your camera’s digital sensor as a light bucket."

"text": "\"Home The Legal Side: Liability for Installed Surveillance Camerasby Ken Kirschenbau, Esq. On Aug 13, 2007SIW \"\"Legal Side\"\" columnist Ken Kirschenbaum, Esq., is a New York-license lawyer practicing with Kirschenbaum & Kirschenbaum PC, a Long Island legal firm with a rich history of assisting clients in security and alarm-related matters.| Share| Share| Share| Share QUESTION: One of our clients is reluctant to install cameras because they believe it increases liability. Our experience is a camera system decreases liability since the owner is taking steps to provide a secure facility. But if the system is not monitored live does this give the occupant a false sense of security? Have you ever heard where an owner is liable for cameras that are not monitored live or liable for systems that do not have complete coverage of parking areas? And does an owner legally have to post signs stating area has surveillance cameras and/or is being recorded? MY ANSWER: The issue of camera installation continues to plague property owners and security dealers because there is so little precedent to rely upon. There are, however, some principals of law which can be applied. One is that property owners do owe their tenants and others lawfully on the property some degree of reasonable protection."

"text": "\"In photography, the shutter-release button (sometimes just shutter release or shutter button) is a push-button found on many cameras, used to record photographs. [ 1] When pressed, the shutter of the camera is \"\"released\"\", so that it opens to capture a picture, and then closes, allowing an exposure time as determined by the shutter speed setting (which may be automatic). Some cameras also utilize an electronic shutter, as opposed to a mechanical shutter. The shutter-release button is one of the most basic features of a dedicated handheld camera. Mobile devices such as modern smartphones have a touchscreen button for capturing photos, but also have a physical shutter button as well, as the sound volume buttons are used as such. The term \"\"release\"\" comes from old mechanical shutters that were \"\"cocked\"\" or \"\"tensioned\"\" by one lever, and then \"\"released\"\" by another. [ 2] In modern or digital photography, this notion is less meaningful, so the term \"\"shutter button\"\" is more used.

It’s mainly made of glutinous rice, stuffed with seasoned pork belly, salted duck egg yolks or many different fillings, then wrapped in bamboo leaves, cooked in boiling water. My family especially loves the Cantonese sticky rice dumplings and would love to have them all the time through out the year, either for breakfast or lunch. There are two camps of how to eat these dumplings, dipping with soy sauce or going with white sugar. So, guess which way my family loves to go for? Sugar. In fact, either way is fantastic and delicious. Wrapping a sticky rice dumpling is quite a challenge, especially for a beginner. A friend of mine shared this method with me and I found it’s the easiest way for beginners. You only need 3 pieces of bamboo leaves to wrap as much as fillings you like without ending up with messy results."

Kenji Lopez-Alt]Get the Recipe The Best Japanese Pork and Cabbage Dumplings (Gyoza)As far as dumplings go, Japanese-style gyoza are some of the simplest to make, if only for the fact that they are almost always made with store-bought, ready-to-fill wrappers at even the best dumpling joints in Japan. Fresh dough that's rolled with a rolling pin is wonderful for Chinese-style fried dumplings like guo tie, but gyoza demand thinner, stretchier dough that is rolled pasta-style by machine. My mom wasn't the most talented or passionate cook in the world, but to this day her gyoza remain one of my favorite foods of all time. Those beef and vegetable-stuffed crescents with their crisp bottoms and tender-chewy skins were the start of a lifelong obsession that still seems no closer to ending than it did when it first started. I remember sitting with my sisters around my grandmother's low wooden living room table a few times a year for dumpling-wrapping duty. My mom would make a big bowl of filling, set out a few packages of store-bought dumpling wrappers, and put us to task stuffing and folding. We'd eat a few big platefuls of the dumplings that first night, then my mom would freeze the rest, pulling them out over the course of the next couple months until our stock was depleted and our stuffing night was repeated. I didn't cook much—or even have much interest in food—growing up, but dumplings were one thing I got pretty darn good at through the years."

Photo: Diana Rattray20 mins Prep: 10 mins, Cook: 10 mins Yield: 6 to 8 servings (260)By Diana Rattray Updated 01/04/18Share Pin Email Dumplings are the quintessential comfort food. According to the website The Kitchen Project, the word \"\"dumpling\"\" goes back to Norfolk, in eastern England, circa 1600. However, the actual origin is unknown. What is known is that dumplings were first used to fill people up when meat was scarce, and that means they were a staple of peasants who regularly had to scrounge for food, especially meat. Dumplings are made of a simple dough that is steamed or boiled, and they're dropped, not cut out like biscuits. ( Biscuits can also be dropped, but they are always baked in the oven. But the dough is similar to dumpling dough. ) Dumplings are mostly eaten in colder climates like England, central Europe and a part of Italy, reports the Oxford Companion to Food. That would extend to colder climates of the United States, too, but this dish is also a Southern staple in colder months."

Edward A. Boyden From Chicken and Dumplings to Pot Stickers! Dumplings are so diverse they are more of a technique or a style of cooking than a dish. Anything that fits inside dumpling dough, or whatever can be broken up to blend with a batter, can be a part of the world of dumplings. . This is a start on this project. There is so much you could probably spend a lifetime studying dumplings! Look for more interesting info, in fact join the Food History Newsletter Where does the word Dumpling come from? According to my favorite food history authority Alan Davidson, \"\"Dumpling. A term of uncertain origin which first appeared in print at the beginning of the 17th century, although the object it denotes--a small and usually globular mass of boiled or steamed dough--no doubt existed long before that. One authority says that the word dumpling goes back to 1600 in the United Kingdom in the Norfolk area.dumpling c.1600, Norfolk dial.,"

Colorful Lanterns sold on the Street More Lantern Festival Pictures Watching Lanterns During the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), Buddhism flourished in China. So in order to popularize Buddhism, one of the emperors gave an order to light lanterns in the imperial palace to worship and show respect for Buddha on the 15th day of the first lunar month. During the Tang (618 - 907), Song (960 - 1279), Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) dynasties, lighting lanterns became a tradition for Chinese people. Today, when the festival comes, red lanterns can be seen in the street, in each house, and store."

"text": "\"As it's generally understood, the word gnocchi refers to a sort of Italian dumplings made from potatoes and flour. Indeed, the word gnocchi (pronounced \"\"NYO-kee\"\") means \"\"dumplings\"\" in Italian. And yet all gnocchi are not Italian—and they're not all made with potato. There's a version of gnocchi in the French culinary tradition that is made with choux dough (which is what pastries like cream puffs and eclairs are made of) instead of potatoes. Another not uncommon variation of gnocchi is made with spinach and ricotta cheese, plus some flour, and egg yolks to bind it all together. With that said, however, most of the time you come across gnocchi, it's going to be the Italian-style kind that's made from potatoes. And if you're lucky, it'll be freshly made, which is the best way to experience gnocchi. You can find frozen gnocchi sometimes, and they're OK in a pinch, as well as the packaged variety, which are dense and doughy. Plenty of Italian restaurants serve freshly made gnocchi, and here in Portland, a plate of it will set you back $18. Or, you can make it yourself, and it is fairly simple."

"text": "Sam+Yvonne/Photodisc/Getty Images Potstickers: Potstickers are those irresistible dumplings that are steamed on one side, pan-fried on the other. Whether you call them wortip (roughly translated as “pot stick”) guotie (the Mandarin word) Peking Ravioli (a term coined by restaurateur Joyce Chen), or just plain pan-fried pork dumplings, it’s impossible to eat only one: What Makes Potstickers Special? It all comes down to how they are cooked. While it is common to steam or pan-fry dumplings, cooks use both methods to make potstickers. The filled dumplings are pan-fried on one side and then steamed in broth or water. Properly made, the potstickers are crisp and browned on the bottom, sticking lightly to the pan, but easy to remove with a spatula. The trick to making potstickers is not to overcook them, or they will live up to their name by sticking firmly to the pot!Potsticker Origins: The Chinese have been enjoying potstickers since the Song dynasty (960 – 1280 A. D.). The exact origins of potstickers are lost to history. However, according to a charming legend, they were invented by a chef in China's Imperial Court, who accidentally burnt a batch of dumplings after leaving them on the stove for too long. The overcooked dumplings were burnt on the bottom only, and not on top."

"text": "\"Wheat free and gluten free alternative flours Wheat flour contains gluten—the protein that strengthens and binds dough in baking. Because of this, when baking with wheat free flours you will usually need to source alternative binding agents. Refer to What are the alternatives to xanthan gum or guar gum? for suggestions. If you're following a specific wheat free or gluten free recipe it will have been carefully formulated to get the best possible result using the flour substitutes listed. If you are substituting other alternative flours to those listed you need to be aware that you may get a failure, so don't do it for the first time if cooking for an important occasion. A good tip if you do need to substitute a gluten free flour is to use a flour of similar properties and weight. For example, tapioca flour may substitute okay for arrowroot flour. The flours listed below are alternatives to wheat, barley, or rye flours. However it is important to be aware that there is no exact substitute for gluten containing flour, and recipes made with wheat and gluten free alternative flours will be different from those containing wheat or gluten."

And I must confess that I am not too fond of a lot of traditional Japanese sweets that are based on sweetened beans. For the most part they are way too sweet for me, and if I make them for myself I'm always adjusting the sweetness level, as with my ohagi or botamochi. Mitarashi dango, however, are my absolute favorite traditional sweet. They are not really that sweet really - that shiny caramel colored sauce (which is called mitarashi sauce) is sweet and savory at the same time. It goes perfectly with the bland, slightly chewy dango or dumplings. ( Dango is the name for unfilled solid dumplings. ) You will probably see the dango just plained boiled more often than not. But grilling the dango makes them taste much better, in my opinion. IMPORTANT: Please read before proceeding Many people have written in over the years wondering about substitutions for the two rice flours, which are the traditional flours used to make mitarashi dango."

"text": "\"Status Ailments NOTE: Whenever this section speaks of 'rounding down', it always applies that if rounding down would make the result zero, it is made one instead. I have not bothered to mention this every time it appears, so just be aware of it as you read. The Pokémon games have since the days of Red, Blue and Yellow included a number of status ailments, also known as status conditions, status effects, status problems, status afflictions or just statuses. These are special ailments that can affect Pokémon temporarily to hinder them in various ways for a number of turns after they have been inflicted. The mechanics behind these effects can be quite complex and are often misreported. Fundamentally, status ailments are split into two types, \"\"major\"\" and \"\"minor\"\". Major status ailments are shown near your Pokémon's HP bar in battle and remain persistent until the Pokémon is cured, whether by items, a trip to the Pokémon Center, or some other effect which cures the status ailment. A Pokémon can only be afflicted with one major status ailment at a time, making it normally immune to all others for as long as the current effect lasts. Minor status ailments, however, are invisible, disappear as soon as you switch the Pokémon in question out of battle, and they will stack freely on top of one another. It is somewhat nebulous what actually \"\"counts\"\" as a minor status ailment as opposed to just an unusual move effect, but I will cover the most common ones."

The young spears from this fast-growing plant are edible, but when left alone will produce a plant 5 to 6 feet tall with branches and berries. Different types and different growing stages of asparagus can be toxic to both humans and animals. Toxicity Young shoots of asparagus are only somewhat toxic to humans when raw. In most cases, they will only cause a mild reaction, according to North Carolina State University Cooperative Extension Service. When cooked, the toxicity of the edible part of the plant disappears. The unharvested plants will grow woody stems and produce small red berries about 6 to 10 millimeters in diameter."

Here are ten common plants that can be extremely poisonous when handled or consumed. Nature-lovers, beware!1 Oleander (Nerium Oleander)It may look like an attractive flowering shrub, but don't be fooled! Oleander is one of the most poisonous of all commonly grown garden plants, and though it's especially toxic to children it is often planted in school yards. It is a hearty bush and grows on many different continents, and with beautiful, fragrant blossoms, it is tempting to include it in any garden... just don't even think about touching it or tasting the leaves or stems. A small child can experience symptoms after handling just one leaf from the plant, though typically it takes more contact for severe reactions to take place. Upon consumption, the poison causes intestinal issues like vomiting, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), excess salivation, and cramping/pain. It can also cause a racing, irregular heart rate, poor circulation, tremors, seizures, coma, and death. In India, there are many cases of people consuming mashed Oleander seeds to attempt suicide. Source 1, Source 2 Photo2 Manchineel (Hippomane Mancinella)The flowering plants are considered among the most poisonous trees in the world and are native to Florida, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central America and northern South America."

Alex - University of Guelph Table of Contents Distribution in Ontario Description Similar but Harmless Plants Control of Poison Ivy Harmful Effects Cross-Reactivity Recognition and Co-operation are Essential Distribution in Ontario Poison-ivy ( Rhus radicans L.) is widespread throughout southern Ontario and reaches north approximately as far as Cochrane and Kenora. It is found most abundantly, however, south of a line from the north shore of Lake Huron through North Bay. This includes the densely populated portions of the province and the popular vacation areas. The plant is often mistakenly called \"\"poison oak\"\", but the true poison oak occurs only in the southern and Pacific states of the U. S. A. and not in Ontario. Poison-ivy is extremely variable in both its habit of growth and kinds of habitat. It grows in deep woods or in the open; in dry, sandy areas, crevices of rocks, or swamps; along the borders of woods, fencerows, or roadsides. You are not safe even in your own garden, and you may be surprised to find it growing in your flower beds or shrubbery. Usually it is found in low-growing, rather dense colonies, sometimes practically carpeting the ground. In the counties bordering Lake Erie, there is also a vine form which twines around and climbs up trees, shrubs and posts, often reaching several metres (yards) above the ground. Description Poison-ivy is a woody perennial."

"text": "Why Dyson Vacuums? A British technology company established only in 1987 by James Dyson, Dyson Ltd actually designs and manufactures a range of household appliances, including vacuum cleaners, hand dryers, bladeless fans, heaters and hair dryers. However, Dyson’s vacuum cleaners take predominance and that’s what Dyson is popular for. Fixing the Flaws of the Modern Bagged Vacuum The Dyson line of vacuum cleaners was inspired by the lacking features and poor usability of modern vacuums, such as using bags to trap dust only to become clogged, dampening and destroying suction power. To solve this obvious flaw in most vacuum cleaners, James Dyson sought to imitate the centrifugal separators used in industrial settings for removing sawdust and debris from the air and to place this smaller-scale similar technology inside a vacuum cleaner.5,127 prototype designs later and still without much success, Dyson licensed its technology to a Japanese company named Apex Ltd, who reworked this cyclonic technology and released it as G-Force, which eventually became a status symbol there. Dyson then went on to take the income from that Japanese license deal to establish Dyson Appliances Ltd, and the first dual-cyclone vacuum was built under the Dyson name, known as the DA001. This was soon replaced by a near identical model called the DC01, shortly after Dyson opened its new production facility in Chippenham. The Harbinger of New Vacuum Technology Dyson vacuum cleaners all use cyclonic separation technology to remove dust, allergens and other particles from the air, making their entire product line one of the most superior on the market. This technology enables the air inside of the cleaner to spin at very high speeds. This results in strong and consistent suction."

If necessary, consumers can find replacement Dyson vacuum hoses through the manufacturer's website, retail stores, appliance stores, and websites like e Bay. Cut the Hose Down If the Dyson vacuum hose has a tear near either end, it is fixable. A few tools and supplies are necessary to make this repair: super glue, a utility knife, pliers, wire cutters, and a flat head screwdriver. Start by removing the vacuum hose from the vacuum. Dysons usually have a release button near the U-bend of the hose."

"text": "\"What is a Dyson Sphere? The Dyson sphere (or Dyson shell) was originally proposed in 1959 by the astronomer Freeman Dyson in \"\"Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of Infrared Radiation\"\" in Science as a way for an advanced civilisation to utilise all of the energy radiated by their sun. It is an artificial sphere the size of an planetary orbit. The sphere would consist of a shell of solar collectors or habitats around the star, so that all (or at least a significant amount) energy will hit a receiving surface where it can be used. This would create a huge living space and gather enormous amounts of energy. A Dyson sphere in the solar system, with a radius of one AU would have a surface area of at least 2.72e17 km^2, around 600 million times the surface area of the Earth. The sun has a energy output of around 4e26 W, of which most would be available to do useful work. The original proposal simply assumed there would be enough solar collectors around the star to absorb the starlight, not that they would form a continuous shell. Rather, the shell would consist of independently orbiting structures, around a million kilometres thick and containing more than 1e5 objects. But various science fiction authors seem to have misinterpreted the concept to mean a solid shell enclosing the star, usually having an inhabitable surface on the inside, and this idea was so compelling that it has been the main use of the term in science fiction."

It's bladeless and gives true comfort from a natural wind feel Dyson Fan Review (the Air Multiplier) – Dyson shocked the world when its latest innovation, named the Dyson Air Multiplier (or simply known as the Dyson Fan), made a debut in television, internet, and magazines. People scratched their heads when they first saw the unit advertised as a fan. The design is new and innovative. But even more people scratched their heads when they saw the price. It is tough to compare a few hundred dollars fan compared to our conventional fan worth less than $50. James Dyson can explain everything to you but you may not always understand what he’s talking about. So what makes the Dyson Air Multiplier expensive and special? Before we talk about why you should spend the money for the fan, it’s probably a good idea to talk about how it works (as most of you might not have heard or seen the Dyson’s Air Multiplier before). But let’s have a closer look on the fan first."

Two men arrive in Los Angeles from the year 2029. The first is a Terminator ( Arnold Schwarzenegger) identical to the one that Sarah first encountered, while the second is an unknown man ( Robert Patrick) who kills a cop and dresses himself as his victim. John Connor ( Edward Furlong) is now living with foster parents. He has grown up being told by his mother that he would someday lead the remnants of the human race to victory against the machines. Sarah's experiences have significantly changed who she is, making her tougher and more vigilant, but also more desperate to warn humanity about the threat of the war of the machines. While previously attempting to destroy the headquarters of a computer company, Sarah was arrested and imprisoned at the Pescadero State Hospital - a maximum-security prison and hospital for the criminally insane. Meanwhile, the Terminator and the unknown man eventually locate John Connor."

In moments, he was a swaggering hype man. In others, he was a cackling rapscallion. On most days, though, he was simply the loudest voice in the room. For close to six seasons, Dyson was the Royals’ fourth outfielder, a bonafide blur on the base paths, a valuable piece of a world champion, a truth teller who did not suffer fools or care about polishing his public image. It was Dyson, of course, who coined the his iconic tagline (“That’s what speed do”) and Dyson who ripped off the infamous “vroom vroom” gesture against the Oakland A’s during the 2014 Wild Card Game. It was Dyson who irked the Baltimore Orioles with a victory guarantee during the 2014 American League Championship Series, and it was Dyson, just months after the 2015 World Series, who was unafraid to talk about the looming elephant in the room. A group of best friends and ballplayers had won a world championship together. But the party could not last forever."

I absolutely love it! It picks up great, has a hepa filter, and several attachments. It's backpack style so there are no wheels to potentially scratch wood flooring, it's lightweight, and the ergonomic harness was designed by a chiropractor so it's comfortable once you get it on and adjusted. Best of all it has a 48 foot cord so I can vacuum my entire main level and up the stairs without moving the plug, provided I use one that's centrally located. The bag is in clear view and easy to manipulate."

Photograph: Dyson T he weather hasn’t made up its mind. One day it’s hot and sunny, the next windy and rainy. Welcome to April in the UK. Dyson reckons its new fan, which blows both hot and cold, is the answer – with an eye-watering price tag to match. The new Dyson AM09 is the company’s latest in its series of bladeless fans – a heater and fan combined into an oblong loop. It’s the third version of Dyson’s “Hot + Cool” fans – the first two, the AM04 and AM05, were subject to a recall last year for a fire risk found in models manufactured before April 2014.

"text": "\"\"\"Dyson Sphere\"\"Class: MType: Artificial\"\" Can you imagine the engineering capabilities needed to even design such a structure? \"\"– Montgomery Scott, 2369 (\"\" Relics \"\")A Dyson sphere was a colossal sphere constructed around a star, completely surrounding it. The interior of the sphere would absorb the entire energy output of that star, allowing for lifeforms to live on the interior surface almost indefinitely. Such a structure was theorized by the 20th century physicist Freeman Dyson . The Enterprise in orbit around the sphere One of these spheres encased a G-type star and had a diameter of two hundred million kilometers, giving it an internal surface area of approximately 250 million M-class planets. The exterior shell was composed of carbon - neutronium, and the interior was much like a habitable planet with various types of terrain and an atmosphere. The sphere was equipped with portals with the diameter of several large starships which opened to allow ships to enter the interior, where there was enough room to orbit the star. Ships were guided through using tractor beam emitters triggered by subspace signals. As no radiant sunlight or solar wind escaped from the sphere, starships were not able to detect it until they were almost on top of it. As a result, the USS Jenolan crashed onto it in 2294 after being pulled in by the sphere's immense gravity well while en route to the Norpin colony."

But how healthy are they really? And why does the FDA want to ban online sales? The Rise of E-Cigarettes As consumers have become aware of the health risks of smoking, the percentage of US smokers has steadily declined. Many current smokers want to quit, but find quitting, after years of smoking, extremely difficult. Smokers who have problems quitting turn to nicotine patches and gums, hypnotherapy and acupuncture – but a very different type of smoking cessation product is making waves today – the electronic cigarette. The electronic cigarette, e-cigarette or e Cig as they are sometimes called, are available in many different designs. Most of today's e-cigarettes resemble typical tobacco cigarettes, but some models look like pipes, cigars and even disposable pens. E-cigarettes consist of a heating-element, a reservoir containing a nicotine solution and an atomizer that converts the nicotine solution into a vapor that can be inhaled by the user. Manufacturers of e-cigarettes say that their products are a less harmful alternative to smoking tobacco."

"text": "Natalie Robehmed Forbes Staff Entrepreneurs 9/17/2013 @ 11:43AM 45,645 views E-cigarette Sales Surpass $1 Billion As Big Tobacco Moves In E-cigarette revenue is expected to double to over $1 billion in 2013.“If the technology continues to innovate the way that it has been, in 10-15 years from now, we are the replacement to big tobacco,” says Andries Verleur, CEO and co-founder of e-cigarette maker V2 Cigs. By now, you’ve probably seen someone puffing on an e-cigarette – a plastic tube which lights up as it turns a liquid into water vapour to simulate smoke, providing the nicotine and sensation of smoking. With revenue from e-cigarettes expected to double this year to over $1 billion and up to $1.7 billion by some estimates, the makers of these plastic addiction sticks are gradually burning away at the $80 billion sales of tobacco, with e-cigarette sales predicted to pass traditional cigarette sales by 2047, according to Bloomberg Industries. Although the health effects of e-cigarettes are still to be determined – the Food and Drug Administration is reportedly preparing to regulate the devices – smokers have not been deterred from buying the light-up devices. V2 Cigs expects to exceed $100 million in net sales and claims to be the world’s largest online retailer of e-cigarettes. NJOY, which raised $75 million in funding from the likes of Peter Thiel and Sean Parker currently controls 40 percent of the U. S. electronic cigarette market, its CEO told Bloomberg. Most e-cigs are produced in China, where pharmacist Hon Lik, founder of e-cigarette maker Dragonite claims to have invented them a decade ago. “Our products are usually about a third of the cost [of traditional cigarettes],” said Verleur, who tried his first e-cig in Prague before co-founding V2 in Miami, Florida, growing it from three people to 200 staff. “ It is possible there could be further taxation which could level the playing field, but in 90% of markets that has not occurred. ”E-cigarettes are hooking customers with low price tags and increasingly pervasive advertising campaigns – for the first time in 43 years, cigarette ads will return to TV as second-largest tobacco U. S. manufacturer Reynolds American Inc. plans a national rollout of its Vuse e-cigarette."

Though many products contain nicotine, we emphasize electronic cigarettes and moist snuff, particularly the kind in packets or hard lozenges, because they provide nicotine in a way that can satisfy most smokers, with minimal health risks, and are easy to use. Chewing tobacco and loose moist snuff have the same low health effects, but are harder for most smokers to consider using because of the appearance and the need to spit. There are some other products that are worth mentioning. [ 6.1] Are pharmaceutical nicotine products as good a substitute for smoking as ST or e-cigarettes? Pharmaceutical nicotine products (also known as nicotine replacement therapy or NRTs) include the nicotine patches and gums that are available without a prescription in many places. They also include a variety of inhalers, nasal sprays, topical gels, and lozenges that range in availability depending on where one resides. These products are specifically designed to help people quit smoking and all other nicotine use, by tapering down the amount of nicotine consumed. If someone wants to quit using nicotine entirely, and these products can help, then that is great. Unfortunately, the research shows that using pharmaceutical nicotine products to quit smoking results in failure more than 90% of the time."

REUTERS/David Mc New/Files Three Biggest Reasons Tobacco Giants Eye Lucrative $50 Billion Marijuana Market Richard Pollock Reporter10:09 PM 01/04/2016Big tobacco conglomerates are positioning themselves to muscle into the growing marijuana business if the drug wins nationwide legal status, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation. Cigarette smoking has been declining for years, so the tobacco giants see at least three huge ways they can benefit from legal marijuana: New Market: Marijuana represents a vast untapped new market for tobacco firms. There are an estimated 4-6 million regular users now but Marijuana’s Marlboro Man hasn’t yet been introduced – that is, a well-defined brand that attracts loyal, repeat customers. Redeem Smoking: Millions of regular marijuana buyers extend their high by smoking the drug. That means legalized marijuana may help reduce the current stigma on regular cigarettes. Big Profits: Tobacco giants are buying up the top vape makers. Big profits are there for the taking from e-cigarettes because they can be used for both marijuana and nicotine. Four states and the District of Columbia have already approved some level of legalization for possession of small amounts of marijuana, and 10 other states may have ballot measures in 2016 that give voters further opportunities to legalize possession. Big tobacco, despite its conservative image since the 1970s, has been closely eyeing the marijuana market which venture capitalists regard to be worth $50 billion in annual revenues."

"text": "The UCSF TCORS has just submitted the following public comment to the FDA: Comment on FDA’s Proposed Regulations: Clarification of When Products Made or Derived From Tobacco Are Regulated as Drugs, Devices, or Combination Products; Amendments to Regulations Regarding “Intended Uses” Docket No. FDA-2015-N-2002 UCSF TCORS [1] November 18, 2015 Cessation and “satisfaction” claims cause confusion for consumers, so any products making such claims should be regulated under FDA’s drug/device authorities. FDA’s proposed rule attempting to clarify when products made or derived from tobacco should be regulated as drugs, tobacco products, or modified risk tobacco products is a necessary and positive step towards minimizing confusion for consumers and thereby protecting the public health. Currently, many non-cigarette products that are made or derived from tobacco (such as e-cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco/chew, and snus) make marketing claims (either explicit or implicit) that communicate that they are frequently used, are intended to be used, or can be used to help quit smoking, to alleviate nicotine cravings, or to provide the same nicotine hit or “satisfaction” as conventional cigarettes. Some alternative products make other unsubstantiated therapeutic claims that they deliver vitamins, boost energy, cure sleeplessness, and aid weight loss. These claims confuse consumers and lead them to think that these products, like other FDA-approved cessation products such as nicotine gum or patches, or other drugs and supplements such as sleeping pills and multi-vitamins, are effective for cessation, treating nicotine addiction and withdrawal, or managing vitamin deficiencies, and are harmless or less harmful than cigarettes. That manufacturers sometimes accompany these obvious therapeutic or modified risk claims with legalese disclaimers to evade regulation does not cure the problem. FDA’s final rule should clearly and directly provide that any and all claims made about products – including claims distributed in both conventional and new social media formats – that either explicitly or implicitly suggest that the product can or might be used for smoking cessation, to cure or treat nicotine addiction, to provide the same “satisfaction,” “nicotine fix,” and other pleasures of smoking, or for other therapeutic uses, shall be regulated under FDA’s drug/device authority The proposed rule’s reliance on the basic statutory definitions of “drugs” and “devices” and the two-prong test that would treat a product made or derived from tobacco as a drug or device if it is either: (1) intended for use in diagnosing, curing, mitigating, treating, or preventing a disease (the “disease prong”); or (2) intended to affect the structure or function of the body in any way that is different from effects of nicotine that were “customarily” claimed in marketing prior to the March 2000 Brown & Williamson decision (the “structure/function prong”) is appropriate. However, any marketing claims made prior to March 2000 would necessarily have been made prior to the August 2006 legal decision in United States v. Philip Morris, [2] which uncovered the tobacco industry’s fifty-year history of defrauding the public about the physiological and addictive effects of nicotine. Therefore, FDA’s proposal does not go far enough; FDA should also consider claims suggesting that a tobacco product will provide the same “satisfaction” or nicotine hit as conventional cigarettes and/or provides an alternative way to get the same “pleasures of smoking” to fall within its drug and device authority."

Most commonly the substance is the dried leaves of the tobacco plant which have been rolled into a small square of rice paper to create a small, round cylinder called a \"\" cigarette \"\". Smoking is primarily practiced as a route of administration for recreational drug use because the combustion of the dried plant leaves vaporizes and delivers active substances into the lungs where they are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream and reach bodily tissue. In the case of cigarette smoking these substances are contained in a mixture of aerosol particles and gasses and include the pharmacologically active alkaloid nicotine; the vaporization creates heated aerosol and gas to form that allows inhalation and deep penetration into the lungs where absorption into the bloodstream of the active substances occurs. In some cultures, smoking is also carried out as a part of various rituals, where participants use it to help induce trance -like states that, they believe, can lead them to spiritual enlightenment. Smoking generally has negative health effects, because smoke inhalation inherently poses challenges to various physiologic processes such as respiration. Diseases related to tobacco smoking have been shown to kill approximately half of long-term smokers when compared to average mortality rates faced by non-smokers."

Parmet February 20, 2015 10.1377/hblog20150220.044711Tools Share Editor’s note: This post is part of a series stemming from the Third Annual Health Law Year in P/Review event held at Harvard Law School on Friday, January 30, 2015. The conference brought together leading experts to review major developments in health law over the previous year, and preview what is to come. A full agenda and links to video recordings of the panels are here. Sometime in the next few months, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to issue the so-called deeming regulations, which will open the door to the federal regulation of e-cigarettes. In considering whether to issue the regulations, which were first published for notice and comment rulemaking last April, the FDA faces a formidable challenge: it must decide whether and how to regulate in the midst of scientific uncertainty and limited statutory flexibility. By subjecting e-cigarettes to its regulatory regime, the FDA risks retarding the growth of what may prove to be a powerful new tool for harm reduction. But by failing to act, the agency risks undermining decades of progress in tobacco control. In either case, the public health impact is apt to be significant. It is a victory that was made possible, in large measure, by a constellation of state and federal regulatory interventions: laws regulating the marketing and sale of cigarettes, barring sales to youth, banning indoor smoking, and taxing cigarette sales have all played a role in reducing rates of smoking. Nevertheless, smoking remains stubbornly common, especially among teens."

( Justin Sullivan / Getty Images)Most of the attention on the Proposition 56 tobacco tax has focused on the potential $2-per-pack increase in the price of cigarettes. Less examined is a provision under which the booming e-cigarette market would be taxed in California for the first time – and the increase will be huge. E-cigarette liquid containing nicotine could be taxed at a rate as high as 67%, according to state estimates, an amount that an e-cigarette trade group believes would boost the price consumers pay for a typical 30-milliliter bottle to about $30 from around $20 today. Proponents of Proposition 56 argue the new taxes on e-cigarettes befit the danger cited by state public health officials and other experts that the product encourages youth tobacco use and creates other health risks. But e-cigarette retailers are worried that the new tax could force them out of business and contend that the high tax rate is unfair given that even supporters of Proposition 56 concede that e-cigarettes are probably less harmful than traditional cigarettes. \"\" For us to be taxed as an equivalent to tobacco or cigarettes doesn't make sense,\"\" said Kari Hess, who owns a vape shop in Redding and is co-president of the Northern California branch of the Smoke-Free Alternatives Trade Assn.

By the 1990s, however, studies had revealed nicotine to be an addictive substance and further revealed that tobacco products were one of the leading causes of cancer.

Many cigars smokers are former cigarette smokers who switched, hoping for a safer smoke. A scientist who worked for a national anti-cancer organization once told me that her father was a cigarette smoker who had switched to cigars to be safer. She thought he had done himself a favor and added that he had recently switched to little cigars, finding them very cigarette-like and still believing he was better off. Unfortunately, such smokers are still smoking very dangerously.2. For some, cigars can be safer than cigarettes. Although cigars can be safer than cigarettes, many cigar smokers enjoy little to no decrease in risk. Based on the existing research, the landmark 1964 surgeon general’s report on smoking and health pointed to the dangers of cigarettes and excused cigars and pipes as much less dangerous than cigarettes."

"text": "\"share:rexusdiablosposted on Feb, 17 2010 @ 06:50 AM link Hi ATS, I’ll be quitting smoking tobacco next Monday. I quit for four months but took the habit back up around Christmas. 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."

Updated Oct 14, 2017 · Author has 2.6k answers and 2.3m answer views Originally Answered: Is a non nicotine vape with just flavourings bad for you? Nobody knows the final answer to this, and no one will know until a 20 year data resource becomes available around 2025. From the components in regular vapour, it appears that there are no obvious routes to morbidity (illness), and therefore a vanishingly low risk for mortality (death). From the day almost ten years ago that Dr Laugesen published the first technical analysis of ecig vapour and stated without reservation that it was impossible for vaping to cause lung cancer, until today, nobody has ever published any reasoned explanation of how vaping could possibly lead to serious illness. Nicotine content is completely irrelevant to any measure of health impact, negative or positive, except for infrequent cases. It is simply not relevant at all to health, unless (a) you have severe heart disease or a family risk for terminal vascular disease [1], in which case you might profitably avoid high-dose dietary supplementation of nicotine. Conversely, (b) a family risk for neurodegenerative or auto-immune disease [2], in which case you will probably want to consider high-dose dietary supplementation of nicotine or even low-volume smoking, since the alternative is a significant risk for serious disease and early death. Abuse of the system invalidates all estimates. That is to say, if you vape 30ml a day of highly-flavoured refills, at insane temperatures, in order to get the largest clouds of vapour and the the strongest flavour possible, then - quite frankly - all bets are off."

"text": "Nicotine Patches and Gums Vs. Electronic Cigarettes By Lindsay Fox Posted August 15, 2013Tweet For many smokers hoping to kick their tobacco habit, quitting smoking means using an over-the-counter nicotine replacement product or making the switch to e-cigs, but it’s not immediately clear which is the best option. Nicotine gums and patches offer the nicotine you crave in a non-smoky form, and initially may appear safer than e-cigarettes for several reasons. Firstly, the FDA is more than happy to tout these medicines as methods of quitting smoking, but offers no such support for e-cigs. Secondly, the tirade of criticism that they (and many others) are tossing at e-cigs might make you think that there is some risk to using them, or that they can’t help people quit. Gums and patches are pushed by huge, “reliable” organizations, whereas e-cig manufacturers are usually much smaller start-up operations, again, creating a sense that nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products like gums are just plain better than e-cigs. However, the truth of the matter is quite different. Table of Contents1 Nicotine Patches and Gums Vs.

"text": "\"Devices marketed as \"\"electronic cigarettes\"\" are in reality crude drug delivery systems for refined nicotine, posing unknown risks with little new benefits to smokers, according to tobacco control experts. In a \"\"Perspective\"\" published today in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers from the Legacy's Steven A. Schroeder National Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies explore the current regulatory climate around electronic cigarettes (\"\"e-cigarettes\"\") and their safety. The authors, Nathan K. Cobb, MD, a pulmonologist and assistant professor at Georgetown University Medical Center, and David B. Abrams, Ph D, executive director of the Schroeder Institute, also question future implications for physicians, policy makers and e-cigarette users. E-cigarettes are constructed to mimic real cigarettes in size and appearance, but contain no tobacco and are not cigarettes at all. In reality they are delivery devices for refined nicotine, having more in common with inhalers used to treat asthma or other delivery devices for both approved and illicit drugs. Though individual brands vary in construction, the products generally produce a propylene glycol mist containing nicotine along with flavorings and other chemicals. Currently, three interrelated products are being sold: the delivery device itself; cartridges that can contain up to 20 mg of nicotine; and refill kits that allow consumers to fill used cartridges with replacement nicotine solution. Some refill bottles, easily obtained over the Internet, contain enough nicotine to kill an adult if accidentally ingested. The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced April 25, 2011, that it would regulate e-cigarettes as \"\"tobacco products\"\" and not as \"\"drug-delivery devices.\"\" That action came after federal courts blocked the agency from regulating the products as drug-delivery devices."

Follow 4 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Nicotine by itself has not been proven to cause cancer. As far as doing damage to your lungs, most e cigarette liquids contain propylene glycol, which has been used in theater fog machines during film production, night clubs, etc for years and has also been found to be used in asthma inhalers. Most of the nicotine in the solution is absorbed in the throat and the rest of it, the water vapor and propylene glycol is carried into the lungs. If the propylene glycol is safe enough for use with a person who has asthma, there is no reason why an otherwise healthy person would be harmed by it.

"text": "Harm of e-cigarettes Posted on August 14, 2013 by Ellen Meek There is no doubt that smoking is harmful. Tobacco is thought to kill nearly 6 million people every year, but do electronic cigarettes provide the answer to this assault on the nation’s health? As with conventional cigarettes, there is often an information deficit on the chemicals that electronic cigarettes contain and although some just use flavoured water vapour, others can contain a cocktail of chemicals including nicotine of varying concentrations and quality. E-cigarettes have emerged onto the UK market relatively unregulated. In countries such as Brazil, Norway and Singapore they have been banned entirely or are only available as a regulated medicinal product. From 2016 the UK will follow New Zealand’s example and license e-cigarettes as a medicine so all e-cigarettes on the UK market will have to prove their quality, safety and effectiveness to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. Is this really an appropriate response to a product which already appears to be used reasonably safely by 1.3 million people in the UK? If we look at the quality of electronic cigarettes then the answer is undoubtedly yes, more regulation is needed. Currently, the content of nicotine and other chemicals varies widely between individual e-cigarettes, and the quantity of nicotine delivered does not always match up to the amount advertised. There is also little way of knowing whether your favourite e-cigarette contains pure pharmaceutical grade nicotine or cheap pesticide grade nicotine laced with impurities."

Chemicals and Ingredient List Confirm How Dangerous Smoking Really Is Apr 30, 2014 05:37 PM By Justin Caba @jcaba33Find out what exactly is in a cigarette. Smoke Free Forsythe.org Share Tweet Share E-mail Over 3,200 Americans under the age of 18 smoke their first cigarette every day, and most of them are unaware of what they are getting into. Many new smokers may not realize how quickly their new habit can lead to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, lung diseases, and certain types of cancer. If you’re looking for an explanation as to why cigarette smoke results in more than 480,000 deaths each year in the United States, look no further than its ingredients. The average cigarette contains upward of 600 different ingredients on top of over 7,000 chemicals produced by cigarette smoke. Where these ingredients and chemicals also show up may shock some smokers into quitting once and for all. “One of the issues with cigarettes is that they have hundreds of added ingredients, not just what is naturally in the tobacco plant,” environmental health scientist with Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Dr. Luz Claudio told Medical Daily in an email. “ What complicates this even more is that when these chemicals burn, they form other chemicals that may have additional effects on health. ”While tobacco companies like R. J. Reynolds insist that a lot of the ingredients found in cigarettes are also found in Food and Drug Administration-approved foods and beverages, a few of these ingredients are also found in products that you would never think to put in your body otherwise."

Chronic bronchitis, which can occur earlier in life, can also be caused by smoking. Effects of smoking How smoking hurts your lungs Healthy lungs filter the air we breathe. Your lungs trap pollutants with a thin layer of mucous coating. Tiny brushes known as cilia sweep away the harmful particles so they can be removed from your lungs. When you cough, dirt and pollutants are brought up with the mucus. Because smoking destroys the cilia, your lungs can’t work properly — there is no way for the particles to get out. This results in damage to the tiny air sacs in the lungs called alveoli."

And now, a new study shows how e-cigs aren’t necessarily great for lung health either: not only is nicotine damaging for the lungs in any form, but even exposure to vapor from e-cigs that don’t contain nicotine may have deleterious effects. E-cig use among middle and high school students tripled between 2013 and 2014, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. That’s two million high school students and nearly half a million middle school students across the country. \"\" In today’s rapidly evolving tobacco marketplace, the surge in youth use of novel products like e-cigarettes forces us to confront the reality that the progress we have made in reducing youth cigarette smoking rates is being threatened,\"\" the FDA’s Mitch Zeller said in a statement last month. Cigarette smoke causes the breakdown of lung endothelial cells – the ones that make up the lining of the paired organ – which can lead to various lung injuries and inflammation. The addictive chemical nicotine is just one of hundreds of components in cigarette smoke and researchers are still trying to figure out which of these are causing the injurious loss of lung cell integrity. Indiana University’s Kelly Schweitzer and colleagues wanted to see if nicotine alone is enough to alter the cellular matrix that supports the shape and function of lung cells. They exposed mice, as well as cells from mice and humans, to cigarette smoke extract and to two kinds of e-cig solution: one containing nicotine, the other being nicotine-free. Nicotine’s harmful effects depend on the dose, they found, and result in loss of lung endothelial barrier function, acute lung inflammation and decreased lung endothelial cell proliferation."

Perhaps that’s why, as cigarette use declines among young people, hookah smoking is gaining popularity. One in 5 high school seniors in the United States has smoked hookah sometime in the past year, according to a study published in Pediatrics this month.

"text": "\"Popcorn Lung: A Dangerous Risk of Flavored E-Cigarettesby Editorial Staff | July 7, 2016 (Last Updated: March 16, 2018)Over a decade ago, workers in a microwave popcorn factory were sickened by breathing in diacetyl—the buttery-flavored chemical in foods like popcorn, caramel and dairy products. While this flavoring may be tasty, it was linked to deaths and hundreds of cases of bronchiolitis obliterans, a serious and irreversible lung disease. As a result, the major popcorn manufacturers removed diacetyl from their products, but some people are still being exposed to diacetyl - not through food flavorings as a worksite hazard, but through e-cigarette vapor. When inhaled, diacetyl causes bronchiolitis obliterans - more commonly referred to as \"\"popcorn lung\"\" - a scarring of the tiny air sacs in the lungs resulting in the thickening and narrowing of the airways. While the name \"\"popcorn lung\"\" may not sound like a threat, it's a serious lung disease that causes coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath, similar to the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Even though we know that diacetyl causes popcorn lung, this chemical is found in many e-cigarette flavors https://t.co/w3G3WJQMd M— American Lung Assoc. ( @Lung Association) July 8, 2016Even though we know that diacetyl causes popcorn lung, this chemical is found in many e-cigarette flavors. It is added to \"\"e-juice\"\" liquid by some e-cigarette companies to complement flavorings such as vanilla, maple, coconut and more. So while diacetyl was swiftly removed from popcorn products since it could cause this devastating disease among factory workers, e-cigarette users are now directly inhaling this harmful chemical into their lungs. In fact, researchers at Harvard found that 39 of 51 e-cigarette brands contained diacetyl."

Other substances are added for flavor and to make smoking more pleasant. The smoke from these products is a complex mixture of chemicals produced by burning tobacco and its additives. Tobacco smoke is made up of thousands of chemicals, including at least 70 known to cause cancer. These cancer-causing chemicals are referred to as carcinogens. Some of the chemicals found in tobacco smoke include:·Nicotine (the addictive drug that produces the effect people are looking for and one of the harshest chemicals in tobacco smoke)Hydrogen cyanide Formaldehyde Lead Arsenic Ammonia Radioactive elements, such as uranium (see below)Benzene Carbon monoxide Nitrosamines Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)Many of these substances cause cancer . Some can cause heart disease, lung disease, or other serious health problems, too. Most of the substances come from the burning tobacco leaves themselves, not from additives included in cigarettes (or other tobacco products). Radioactive materials in tobacco smoke Radioactive materials are in the tobacco leaves used to make cigarettes and cigars. These materials come from the fertilizer and soil used to grow the tobacco leaves, so the amount in tobacco depends on the soil the plants were grown in and the type of fertilizers used."

The number of substances smokers exhale, and exactly what those substances are, are brought to light in a new study. Electronic cigarettes have become very popular in recent years. Approximately two million people in Germany have already changed over to the \"\"vapor cigarette\"\", which many see as a healthy replacement to classic cigarettes. However, many political voices are warning about potential health risks associated with the e-cigarette, suggesting that long-term outcomes remain unknown.

Gazdar 2 About the authors Top Abstract Although most lung cancers are a result of smoking, approximately 25% of lung cancer cases worldwide are not attributable to tobacco use, accounting for over 300,000 deaths each year. Striking differences in the epidemiological, clinical and molecular characteristics of lung cancers arising in never smokers versus smokers have been identified, suggesting that they are separate entities. This Review summarizes our current knowledge of this unique and poorly understood disease. View At a Glance Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide with over 1 million deaths each year 1. The disease is largely preventable as most cases are due to tobacco smoking 1. However, global statistics estimate that 15% of lung cancers in men and 53% in women are not attributable to smoking, overall accounting for 25% of all lung cancer cases worldwide 1. If considered a separate category, lung cancer in never smokers would rank as the seventh most common cause of cancer death worldwide, before cancers of the cervix, pancreas and prostate 1 ( Fig. 1a ). Although definitions vary in the literature, here we have used the term 'never smoker' to refer to an individual who has had a lifetime exposure of less than 100 cigarettes; a 'former smoker' has quit smoking for more than 12 months; a 'current smoker' is currently smoking or has quit during the past 12 months; and an 'ever smoker' (used synonymously with 'smoker') is an individual who is either a former or current smoker.

Yet, lately, people are smoking indoors — not traditional cigarettes, but e-cigarettes. These are smokeless cigarettes that can look like the real thing, a pen or even a USB stick. What they all do is deliver nicotine to the smoker in a vapor form. A rechargeable battery powers a heating element that vaporizes the nicotine in a replaceable cartridge so that what’s inhaled just looks like smoke. Some e-cigarette companies claim the devices are safer and can help smokers quit. But critics say the companies’ statements are unproven and their health claims are unsubstantiated. It is true that e-cigarettes do not contain the over 4,000 chemical compounds created by a burning cigarette. Many of these are toxic and/or carcinogenic. Tar, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide and ammonia are all in regular cigarette smoke."

In 2006, parliament voted to ban smoking in all workplaces, on public and work transport, in pubs, clubs, membership clubs, cafes, restaurants and shopping centres in England and Wales. The smoking ban came into force in Scotland on March 26th 2006. In Wales, it was enforced from April 2nd. In Northern Ireland, the ban came into effect on April 30th. England followed suit on July 1st 2007, with the entire UK now officially smoke-free in public places. Background Although smoking is known to cause lung cancer, the effect of passive smoking has proved harder to quantify. A 2002 report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer suggested that regular exposure to passive smoke increases the risk of lung cancer by 20 to 30 per cent. According to the British Medical Association, it increases the risk of heart disease by between 25 and 35 per cent and doubles the risk of a stroke. The majority of workplaces, shops, public transport and other public environments had banned or at least restricted smoking as a matter of policy by the mid 1990s, but it remained legal to smoke in most licensed premises."

By Alex Domb, Deputy News Editor October 27, 2017Electronic cigarette usage is no longer just a tangential, niche alternative to traditional smoking: it has become a hot-button political issue. According to the New York Times, New York Governor Andrew Cuomosigned a bill on Monday that will ban vaping in all public indoor spaces or anywhere smoking cigarettes is already prohibited. NYU is certainly no stranger to vaping. Despite NYU’s school-wide smoking ban, students have noticed peers vaping outside academic buildings, while traveling between buildings and even inside NYU dorms. One of the most popular e-cigarettes among younger users on campus is the Juul, which is produced by Pax Labs. Juul is a tiny, sleek product that resembles a USB drive andcontains five percent nicotine, while many other e-cigarettes on the market contain three percent or less.

To legally purchase cigarettes, you must be at least 18-years old. To legally drive, you must be at least 16-years old with a valid drivers license. You can obtain a learner's permit 3-6 months before your 16th birthday depending on which state you live in. To legally have sex, that varies state-by-state. The legal age of consent is 18-years old in about half of the states, in others it is 17-years old. By \"\"legal age of consent\"\", that means you can have sexual relations with a person of any age who also over the \"\"legal age of consent\"\". There are various stipulations which state that individuals under the legal age of consent can have sex with another individual provided they are within a certain age range.

The cause of course is smoking bans which include electronic cigarettes. See, many states are already classifying electronic cigarettes as a tobacco product.

( Abel Uribe / Chicago Tribune)Dawn Rhodes Contact Reporter Chicago Tribune Teens and young adults are likely to stop smoking — or never start — if they have to ask those 21 and older to buy cigarettes for them. That's the premise of research that supports a new plan put forth by Mayor Rahm Emanuel last week to raise the minimum age for buying tobacco. Experts say the approach is gaining traction around the country after a recent study estimated such laws would discourage smoking at an age when many people first get addicted. Chicago would join a list of more than 100 cities nationwide, including Evanston, to raise the legal age for buying tobacco from 18 to 21. Emanuel introduced the legislation in the Chicago City Council on Wednesday. The bill bundles the age provision with tax hikes on cigars, roll-your-own cigarettes and smokeless tobacco. \"\" Older smokers have a higher quit rate than younger smokers. Older smokers are more likely to get treatment,\"\" said Carol Southard, a tobacco treatment specialist at the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Northwestern Medicine. \"\" The literature has been so consistent that if we can (stop) the kid from starting in the first place, or at least get the kid to stop before they're 21, we've done something significant. \"\""

According to researchers, more of that chemical is found in electronic cigarettes than traditional cigarettes. The study published in the New England Journal of Medicine is preliminary, but it does add to growing concerns about the popular vaporizers. Researchers say that with that kind of exposure to formaldehyde, long-term e-cigarette users could be up to 15 times more at risk for cancer than long-term smokers of traditional cigarettes. But e-cigarette advocates are suspicion. They say, not so fast. Proponents of the devices — sometimes used to help wean cigarette smokers off paper smokes on their way to quitting — say actual e-cig users would never smoke as much or as often as what researchers tested. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed banning electronic cigarettes from all the public indoor places where smoking tobacco is prohibited.

Register This article first appeared in the publication \"\"Underwater Naturalist\"\" Bulletin of the American Littoral Society, Volume 25, Number 2, August 2000Cigarette butts are the most common form of plastic litter on the beaches of the U. S. and world-wide. Toxic chemicals can leach out of the cigarette filters. Photo copyrighted by Chris Register. Introduction Every beach-goer has seen them—cigarette butts littering the shore. Beyond being unsightly, does cigarette litter present a threat to organisms? This article summarizes research conducted to determine if the compounds in discarded cigarette butts (the filters and remnant tobacco) are biohazards to the water flea ( Daphnia magna ). Short-term bioassays (48 hours) using the water flea as the test organism were conducted. The results indicate that the chemicals released into freshwater environments from cigarette butts are lethal to Daphnia at concentrations of 0.125 cigarette butts per liter (one butt per two gallons of water). Smokers discard billions of cigarette butts yearly, tossing many directly into the environment. Cigarette butts accumulate outside of buildings, on parking lots and streets where they can be transported through storm drains to streams, rivers, and beaches."

He has had a lot of problems with ear infections and we can't seem to clear it up. It goes away when we use Otomax that was prescribed by the vet, but it always seems to come back again. Can you give us any advice? Dr. Marie replied: Hi John and thanks for your question! I see a lot of Golden Retrievers in my practice and I can tell you that chronic ear infections can be unfortunately a common problem. One reason for an ear infection to keep coming back is if it was not cleared up completely the first time that it was treated. I will usually treat the ear for 10-14 days and then I will have the dog come back in to repeat a cytology. This is where we put a swab in the ear and look under the microscope to see if there is an unusual number of bacteria or yeast present."

"text": "Causes, Prevention, and Treatment of Hot Spots Many dog owners have heard of or have experienced hot spots on their pet. Here we take a look at what a hot spot is, what causes it, and how to treat hot spots. What is a Hot Spot? Hot Spot on a dog A hot spot is a moist skin rash, and is usually quite itchy. Also known as acute moist dermatitis or pyotraumatic dermatitis, they generally occur around the head, neck, rump and occasionally on the trunk of the body. Dogs of any age or breed can develop hot spots, but certain breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and Rottweilers are more prone to developing hot spots. What Causes Hot Spots on Dogs? Hot spots start with an itch. Constant scratching by the dog leads to raw damaged skin, which then oozes serum which causes matting of the hair. This disrupted skin surface promotes bacterial growth, which can make the hot spot even itchier."

Early detection is key, so you should always contact your veterinarian if you find a new mass or swelling on your dog. Many times. veterinarians are able to provide treatment in their clinic, but other times they may need to refer the patient to a veterinary oncologist—a veterinarian that specializes in the treatment of cancer. Treating Canine Cancer Most treatment plans for canine tumors involve surgical removal of the tumor. Depending on the tumor type and location, your veterinarian may recommend adding other treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

The Golden Retriever was first bred in the late 19th century in the Scottish Highlands. They were bred with excellent scenting abilities which was originally used to hunt birds in both water and on land. Due to their smelling abilities and intelligence, this dog is ideal for training in various important jobs. They are good companions as guide dogs for the blind, sniffing out drugs and bombs in airports, and are also known to take part in lifesaving efforts such as water rescue. The Golden Retriever is considered the fourth smartest of dog breeds in the world. Due to its intelligence and social nature, the Golden has been known to become lonely and sad when left alone for extended periods of time.

However, resolving the issue may be more complicated than simply buying a tear remover. Causes can range from allergies to genetic predisposition. Excess Tearing The most common cause of tear stains in dogs is excess tearing or epiphora, which makes the hair and skin around the eyes damp. This can lead to the growth of bacteria and yeast. Red yeast, which produces a reddish brown discoloration of the face, is a common cause of tear stain problems. Excess tearing is also your dog's response to irritation. Dust or other allergens can irritate your dog's eyes and cause them to water. Long hair that brushes and tickles his eyes can draw moisture out of his eyes like a wick. Bacterial infections of the tear ducts or ear infections may also cause excess tear production."

By: Kara Mc Carty El Segundo, CAReplied on 04/19/2011Neopsporin or Bacitracin are antibacterial ointments with a petroleum base. If the wound is cleansed well with warm water and dilute antibacterial soap before applying these ointments they both will improve healing and decrease scar formation as they keep the wound edges soft and decrease secondary bacterial infections. Neosporin may be slightly better than Bacitracin as Neosporin has three antibiotics present, including Bacitracin, whereas Bacitracin is just the one antibiotic Bacitracin. However some dogs are sensitive to Neomycin or Polymixin (the other 2 antibiotics in Neosporin) and in those cases Bacitracin alone would obviously be preferred. You'll know this sensitivity is present if the wound edge becomes red and puffy and extremely itchy. Kara, DVMMore Questions on Medicine Is baby aspirin safe for a dog?"

Rotation and deep burial of stalks will help reduce losses to this fungus. Charcoal Rot (fungus – Macrophomina phaseolina ): Many plants are susceptible to this soil borne fungus and symptoms vary according to type. Infected stem tissue shows evidence of shredding with tiny black dots (sclerotia) between the remaining tissues. This gives those plant parts an ashy-gray appearance.

In the United States, the breed is usually called the Cocker Spaniel, while elsewhere in the world, it is called the American Cocker Spaniel in order to differentiate between it and its English cousin, which was already known as \"\"Cocker Spaniel\"\" before the American variety was created. The word cocker is commonly held to stem from their use to hunt woodcock in England, while spaniel is thought to be derived from the type's origins in Spain. The first spaniel in America came across with the Mayflower in 1620, but it was not until 1878 that the first Cocker Spaniel was registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC). A national breed club was set up three years later and the dog considered to be the father of the modern breed, Ch. Obo II, was born around this time. By the 1920s the English and American varieties of Cocker had become noticeably different and in 1946 the AKC recognised the English type as a separate breed."

Poodle crossbreeds are meant to produce a dog with mixed traits and the Poodle’s signature nonshedding coat. Like all Poodle crosses, the Goldendoodle goes by many names, including the ‘Goldipoo’, ‘Goldenpoo’, ‘Groodle’, ‘Curly Golden’, ‘Goldenoodle’, ‘Goldoodle’, or the somewhat less appealing ‘Gopoo’. Like other ‘designer breeds’, the Goldendoodle has seen a recent surge in popularity. As a crossbreed, the Goldendoodle is not eligible for registration with purebred registries such as the American Kennel Club, but it can be registered with the American Canine Hybrid Club. The Goldendoodle is not considered a purebred because it doesn’t ‘breed true’, meaning that it doesn’t display a consistent set of characteristics. Some breeders produce Goldendoodles by crossing a purebred Poodle with a purebred Golden Retriever (called a first generation cross), but others allow crossing Goldendoodles with Poodles or Golden Retrievers (called a backcross), or other Goldendoodles (called a multi-generation cross). Different crosses can result in different characteristics. Size The Goldendoodle has an average shoulder height of 20-29 in (51-74 cm) and weighs 45-90 lbs (20-40 kg); mixes with Miniature Poodles or Toy Poodles tend to be smaller. As a crossbreed, the Goldendoodle has a wide variety of appearances."

Man's best friend – dogs – can also develop this common thyroid condition. This article answers frequently asked questions about canine hypothyroidism. What Is Hypothyroidism? Hypothyroidism is a disorder of the thyroid gland – two small butterfly-shaped lobes located in the neck. This gland has a number of functions but is most well known for regulating your dog's metabolic rate. In hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland is underactive and unable to secrete enough thyroid hormone. This, in turn, decreases your dog's metabolism. How Does a Dog Get It? Most cases of hypothyroidism in dogs stem from the dog's own immune system attacking the tissues of the thyroid gland."

Though you may not be able to tell just by looking at them, protostomes are an evolutionarily related group based on shared characteristics of their body plans. In this lesson, you will identify these characteristics, as well as see examples of the variety of animals this group encompasses. What Are Protostomes? When you compare a crab and a lobster, you can understand how they may be related in the Animal Kingdom. But compare that same crab with a snail or an earthworm, and you might have a difficult time seeing how these animals are part of the same evolutionary branch. The reason we put these animals together as a group is they share the same characteristics in their body plan; this is the combination and organization of an animal's body structures. When we look at how an animal is a sum of its parts, we can start to see relationships that might not otherwise be obvious. We first determine if the animal has true tissues, or tissues and cells that are specialized. If so, we then determine the body symmetry of the animal."

At some point during their lives, animals are capable of movement. In the most commonly encountered animals, this stage is the adult, although some animals (corals) have sessile (nonmobile) adult phases and mobile juvenile forms. Animal and plant evolutionary history both show the development of multicellularity and the move from water to land (as well as secondary adaptation back to water). Animals developed external or internal skeletons to provide support, skin to prevent or lessen water loss, muscles that allowed them to move in search of food, brains and nervous systems for integration of stimuli, and internal digestive systems. Most animals have a life cycle with a preadult stage, a predominance of the diploid stage, and a series of embryonic developmental stages. Evolution and Classification of Animals | Back to Top Animals probably evolved from marine protists , although no group of protists has been identified from an at-best sketchy fossil record for early animals. Cells in primitive animals (sponges in particular) show similarities to collared choanoflagellates as well as pseudopod-producing amoeboid cells. Multicellular animal fossils and burrows (presumably made by multicellular animals) first appear nearly 700 million years ago, during the late precambrian time (the part of the Proterozoic era termed the Vendian)."

The anteroposterior maps of gene expression domains for 38 genes of chordate neural patterning are highly similar for hemichordates and chordates, even though hemichordates have a diffuse nerve-net. About 40% of the domains are not present in protostome maps. We propose that this map, the gill slits and the tail date to the deuterostome ancestor. The map of dorsoventral expression domains, centered on a Bmp–Chordin axis, differs between the two groups; hemichordates resemble protostomes more than they do chordates. The dorsoventral axis might have undergone extensive modification in the chordate line, including centralization of the nervous system, segregation of epidermis, derivation of the notochord, and an inversion of organization. Previous article Next article Introduction The notochord, dorsal hollow nerve cord, gill slits and a post-anal tail are phylotypic traits of chordates. Less prominent are the endostyle/thyroid, the pituitary, left–right asymmetries, and the inverse dorsoventral organization of chordates relative to that of protostomes. In chordate development, Spemann's organizer is distinctive not only as a key signaling center of the chordate gastrula but also as the precursor of the notochord, gill slit endoderm, and prechordal endomesoderm. Did these originate entirely within the chordate lineage or were some already present in non-chordate ancestors?"

Multicellular organisms arise through a process that begins with the fertilized egg and ends with a new individual. The fertilized egg undergoes cell divisions to increase the number of cells; simultaneously, the cells produced differentiate into the organs and organs systems of the fully formed organism. The scientific study of these developmental processes is called embryology. Aristotle (384–322 B. C. E. ), considered the first embryologist, described the growth of a chick embryo from a small dot of tissue to a fully formed bird. Early Ideas in Embryology Prior to the mid-1800s, scientists believed that development was the result of preformation. Preformation means that animals develop from an already existing miniature animal that merely required the right conditions to unfold and grow into a new organism. Scientific debates over whether the miniature animal was contained in the egg (ovum) or the sperm raged for decades. Scientists who believed that the miniature animal was in the egg were called ovists; those who believed that the miniature animal was in the sperm were called spermists. In 1675, Marcello Malpighi (1628–1694), an ovist, reported seeing a miniature chick in the chicken egg."

In deuterostomes, the original dent becomes the anus while the gut eventually tunnels through to make another opening, which forms the mouth. The protostomes were so named because it was once believed that in all cases the embryological dent formed the mouth while the anus was formed later, at the opening made by the other end of the gut. It is now known that the fate of the blastopore in protostomes is extremely variable. While the evolutionary distinction between deuterostomes and protostomes remains valid, the descriptive accuracy of the name 'protostome' (in Greek: \"\"first-mouth\"\") is disputable.

Early in development, deuterostome embryos undergo radial cleavage during cell division, while many protostomes (the Spiralia) undergo spiral cleavage. ["

They are a subtaxon of the Bilateria branch of the subregnum Eumetazoa, and are opposed to the protostomes. Deuterostomes are distinguished by their embryonic development; in deuterostomes, the first opening (the blastopore) becomes the anus, while in protostomes it becomes the mouth. Deuterostomes are also known as enterocoelomates because their coelom develops through enterocoely. There are four extant phyla of deuterostomes: Phylum Chordata (vertebrates and their kin) Phylum Echinodermata (sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, etc.) Phylum Hemichordata (acorn worms and possibly graptolites) Phylum Xenoturbellida (2 species of worm-like animals) Superphylum Deuterostomia was redefined in 1995 based on molecular sequence analyses when the lophophorates were removed from it and combined with other protostome animals to form superphylum Lophotrochozoa.

PROTOSTOMESProtostomes include flat worms, annelids, arthropods, molluscs and some minor phyla. During embryonic development blastopore forms the mouth on the anterior end and anus appears later to complete the alimentary canal. Nerve cord is ventral in protostomes. Fate of blastomeres is determined very early during holoblastic cleavage. This is called determinate cleavage, which means blastomeres are destined to form a particular organ in very early stage of cleavage. Cleavage is spiral in protostomes, i.e. axis of cleavage plane is oblique, so that blastomeres have a spiral arrangement in which one tier of cells alternates with the next tier of cells.

Distinction The opening of the digestive tract in an embryo is called the blastopore. The primary difference between protostome and deuterostomes concerns whether the blastopore becomes a mouth or an anus. Protostome means \"\"mouth first,\"\" reflecting the fact that in this type of animal, the embryo first forms a mouth from the blastopore and then later forms an anus. In deuterostomes, meaning \"\"mouth second,\"\" the anus forms from the blastopore and the mouth follows later. Cleavage Deuterostomes have indeterminate cleavage, every early cell is the same. A cell taken from a four-cell embryo could form a whole new embryo by cell division. Protostomes have determinate cleavage, cells differentiate and if isolated, are capable of forming a normal new embryo."

"text": "\"Eating Disorders and Autoimmune Diseases Linked By Deborah Brauser From the Web MD Archives Sept. 12, 2014 -- Several autoimmune diseases have been linked to, and may even play a role in the development of, eating disorders, new research suggests. In a large study of more than 2,000 Finnish people with eating disorders, investigators found they were more likely to have an autoimmune disease compared with healthy people. When you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system incorrectly attacks and destroys healthy cells in your body. \"\" I was surprised about the robust link that we found between autoimmune diseases and eating disorders ,\"\" lead author Anu Raevuori, MD, Ph D, from the Department of Public Health at the University of Helsinki, Finland, tells Medscape Medical News. The immune system appears to contribute to the start and continued problems of eating disorders, at least in this group of patients, the researchers say. Also, the people with eating disorders were more than twice as likely to have endocrine diseases, especially type 1 diabetes, and GI disorders, particularly Crohn's disease. The study was published online Aug. 22 in PLo S One. Continue Reading Belowyou might like WEBMDFix Dry Mouth Slideshow WEBMDPain Relief Head to toe, here's what helps. WEBMDSlideshow: Sensitive Skin?

People with arthritis often have swelling and stiffness in their joints, making daily activities difficult. It’s usually treated with medication and, in some severe cases, surgery. However, medication and surgery aren’t the only ways to help manage your arthritis. What you eat can also have an impact on how inflamed your joints become. Certain foods can help fight inflammation and boost your immune system. Other foods, such as sugar and alcohol, can irritate arthritis. Gluten, a protein in wheat, may also cause a flare-up of arthritis symptoms, according to the Arthritis Foundation.

Nutritional counseling is a type of assessment made which analyzes various health needs in regard to diet and exercise. A nutritional counselor helps people to set achievable health goals and teaches various ways of maintaining these goals throughout their lifetime. Nutrition is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Without proper nutrition, one does not have enough energy to make it through the day. Also, health declines without proper nutrition, making one more susceptible to illness and disease. Nutritional counseling is sometimes offered at eating disorder treatment clinics for patients in need of anorexia treatment, bulimia help or binge eating assistance. Such an assessment is beneficial to a wide variety of people and can help those with numerous disorders. During this assessment, the counselor provides information based on a person’s current status, helping to improve overall health."

"text": "\"Diagnosis A preliminary diagnosis of Huntington's disease is based primarily on your answers to questions, a general physical exam, a review of your family medical history, and neurological and psychiatric examinations. Neurological examination The neurologist will ask you questions and conduct relatively simple tests in the office to judge: Motor symptoms Reflexes Muscle strength Muscle tone Coordination Balance Sensory symptoms Sense of touch Vision and eye movement Hearing Psychiatric symptoms Mental status Mood Neuropsychological testing The neurologist may also perform standardized tests to assess: Memory Reasoning Mental agility Language function Spatial reasoning Psychiatric evaluation You'll likely be referred to a psychiatrist for an examination to judge a number of factors that could contribute to your diagnosis, including: Emotional state Patterns of behaviors Quality of judgment Coping skills Signs of disordered thinking Evidence of substance abuse Brain imaging and function Your doctor may order brain-imaging tests for assessing the structure or function of the brain. The imaging technologies may include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerised tomography (CT) scans that provide detailed images of brain structures. These images may reveal structural changes at particular sites in the brain affected by Huntington's disease, although these changes may not be apparent early in the course of the disease. These tests can also be used to rule out other conditions that may be causing symptoms. Genetic counseling and testing If symptoms strongly suggest a diagnosis of Huntington's disease, your doctor may recommend a genetic test for the defective gene. This test can confirm the diagnosis, and it may be valuable if there's no known family history of Huntington's disease or if no other family member's diagnosis was confirmed with a genetic test. But the test won't provide information that might help determinine a treatment plan. Before undergoing such a test, the genetic counselor will explain the benefits and drawbacks of learning test results. The genetic counselor can also answer questions about the inheritance patterns of Huntington's disease."

Why Psoriasis Treatments Can Fail Dementia: Misdiagnosis A diagnosis of dementia may be delayed or missed because early symptoms develop gradually and are often associated with the normal aging process. In addition, symptoms of dementia can mimic symptoms of a variety of diseases, disorders or conditions, such as depression, TIA, stroke, psychosis, and delirium, which can all accompany dementia or can be distinct and separate diagnoses not related to dementia. In addition, a misdiagnosis of the underlying cause of dementia is possible because there are many possible causes, some of which can be difficult to diagnose. These include vascular dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, frontotemporal dementia, thyroid diseases, brain tumor, and vitamin B deficiency. Other causes include AIDS, syphilis, alcoholism, hydrocephalus, depression, and chronic subdural hematoma. Dementia: Related Misdiagnoses Undiagnosed stroke leads to misdiagnosed aphasia: BBC News UK reported on a man who had been institutionalized and treated for mental illness because he suffered from sudden inability to speak.

An accurate diagnosis generally requires the evaluation of a team of professionals who are specialists in developmental disorders. In addition, the symptoms of Asperger syndrome are similar to some symptoms of some other disorders. This can result in a delayed or missed diagnosis. For example, some people with Asperger syndrome may be misdiagnosed with \"\"mild\"\" form of autism disorder. However the two conditions are different and distinct disorders. Children and people with Asperger syndrome may also be misdiagnosed with other conditions with some similar behaviors, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).... more about Asperger syndrome »Alternative diagnoses list for Asperger syndrome: For a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome, the following list of conditions have been mentioned in sources as possible alternative diagnoses to consider during the diagnostic process for Asperger syndrome: Autism - Asperger syndrome is similar to autism with good language function."

If you don't eat a lot of oily fish, taking a fish oil supplement could help you get enough omega-3 fatty acids. Here is an evidence-based guide to fish oil supplements and their health benefits. What Is Fish Oil and Why Should You Care? Fish oil is the fat or oil that's extracted from fish tissue. It usually comes from oily fish such as herring, tuna, anchovies and mackerel. Yet sometimes it's produced from the livers of other fish, as is the case with cod liver oil. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends eating 1–2 portions of fish per week. This is because the omega-3 fatty acids in fish provide many health benefits, including helping protect against a number of diseases."

A psycho physiological reaction was considered a neurotic illness. The second publication of the DSM-II, in 1968, placed anorexia under special symptoms-feeding disturbances which included pica and rumination. Throughout history, a form of anorexia has been prevalent in regards to religious beliefs. Ritual fasting lasted for a couple days, to prepare the individual to receive some sacred message from God. Many religions today still practice fasting for a certain amount of time to show their devotion to the lord. The Pythagoreans practiced a form of abstinence by not eating any form of meat; even though this was for religious beliefs. The Pythagoreans believed the human soul could reside in the animal. This was quite the opposite in Eastern religion practices which fasting was prolonged and most often lead to death. This teaching was looked as the ultimate withdraw from all worldly materials which were considered “evil” (Bemporad, 1996)."

Signs and symptoms of bulimia ( bulimia nervosa) center on the preoccupation with weight and body shape. Guilt and shame are core symptoms of bulimia. Someone who is bulimic, like a person suffering from anorexia and other eating disorders, judges him- or herself harshly for any perceived flaw. While most people are occasionally self-critical without suffering major consequences, men and women with bulimia nervosa develop serious mental and emotional distortions. A person with bulimia symptoms may feel trapped in an addictive relationship with food. It’s common for sufferers to feel as if they are living in a world of secrecy and shame, where every thought or action centers around food. One moment, eating may seem like the only solution to deal with difficult feelings."

"text": "Print Overview Binge-eating disorder is a serious eating disorder in which you frequently consume unusually large amounts of food and feel unable to stop eating. Almost everyone overeats on occasion, such as having seconds or thirds of a holiday meal. But for some people, excessive overeating that feels out of control and becomes a regular occurrence crosses the line to binge-eating disorder. When you have binge-eating disorder, you may be embarrassed about overeating and vow to stop. But you feel such a compulsion that you can't resist the urges and continue binge eating. If you have binge-eating disorder, treatment can help. Symptoms Most people with binge-eating disorder are overweight or obese, but you may be at a normal weight. Behavioral and emotional signs and symptoms of binge-eating disorder include: Eating unusually large amounts of food in a specific amount of time, such as over a 2-hour period Feeling that your eating behavior is out of control Eating even when you're full or not hungry Eating rapidly during binge episodes Eating until you're uncomfortably full Frequently eating alone or in secret Feeling depressed, disgusted, ashamed, guilty or upset about your eating Frequently dieting, possibly without weight loss Unlike a person with bulimia, after a binge, you don't regularly compensate for extra calories eaten by vomiting, using laxatives or exercising excessively. You may even try to diet or eat normal meals. But restricting your diet may simply lead to more binge eating."

Unfortunately, the standard American diet (S. A. D.) is heavy in saturated fats, partially-hydrogenated oils, refined carbohydrates, and highly processed foods.

"text": "\"Chordates Vertebrates are members of the kingdom Animalia and the phylum Chordata ( [link] ). Recall that animals that possess bilateral symmetry can be divided into two groups—protostomes and deuterostomes—based on their patterns of embryonic development. The deuterostomes, whose name translates as “second mouth,” consist of two phyla: Chordata and Echinodermata. Echinoderms are invertebrate marine animals that have pentaradial symmetry and a spiny body covering, a group that includes sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. The most conspicuous and familiar members of Chordata are vertebrates, but this phylum also includes two groups of invertebrate chordates. All chordates are deuterostomes possessing a notochord. Characteristics of Chordata Animals in the phylum Chordata share four key features that appear at some stage during their development: a notochord, a dorsal hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail ( [link] ). In some groups, some of these are present only during embryonic development. The chordates are named for the notochord, which is a flexible, rod-shaped structure that is found in the embryonic stage of all chordates and in the adult stage of some chordate species. It is located between the digestive tube and the nerve cord, and provides skeletal support through the length of the body."

These groups are all members of the subphylum vertebrata. Also included in the phylum chordata are two invertebrate phyla, the Urochordata and Cephalochordata , which together with the vertebrates comprise approximately 45,000 living species of Chordates . The characteristic features of the phylum Chordata are: A dorsal, hollow nerve chord A notochord at some time during development Pharyngeal gill slits at some time during development A muscular post-anal tail at some during development Although the evolutionary history of the chordates is controversial, they appear to have a common ancestor with most other deuterostomes , such as the echinoderms , lophophorates , and hemichordates . The chordates are sometimes placed in the superphylum Deuterostomia , which also includes the phyla Chaetognatha , Hemichordata , and Echinodermata . Pharyngeal gill slits may have originated in some early deuterostomes as a means of pumping water through the mouth and out the gill slits in order to increase respiratory gas exchange. Primitive chordates may have then modified these gill slits to function as filter feeding devices. Along with other basic features of the phylum, early chordates were thought to have a tadpole-like larval form, similar to that possessed by many modern day tunicate larvae. The tunicates appear to have been early evolutionary offshoots of the chordate line that lead to the other vertebrate groups. There are other theories of chordate origins, including close relationships with other groups such as arthropods and mollusks , however, the echinoderm - chordate theory is presently the most accepted view."

The gonads in some lower invertebrate groups ( e.g ., hydrozoans) are temporary organs; in higher forms they are permanent. In some invertebrates, such as oligochaete worms and leeches, both male and female gonads exist in a single organism. Sponges do not have discrete gonads; instead, reproductive cells are formed by aggregations of amoebocytes in the body wall. In echinoderms ( e.g ., starfish), the gonads are usually suspended from the radiating arms directly into the sea. The usually paired gonads of vertebrates produce both gametes and hormones necessary for reproduction."

Cambrian Period 239 The Cambrian Period was a time of many evolutionary innovations during which almost all of the major invertebrate phyla evolved. Ordovician Period 239 The Ordovician Period witnessed striking changes in the marine community, resulting in a dramatic increase in diversity of the shelly fauna, followed by a mass extinction at the end of the Ordovician. Silurian and Devonian periods 239 The Silurian and Devonian periods were a time of recovery and rediversification for many of the invertebrate phyla, as well as a time of major reef building. Late Devonian extinctions 239 Following the Late Devonian extinctions, the marine community again experienced renewed adaptive radiation (the biological process in which organisms diversity as they spread into, and adapt to new environments) and diversification during the Carboniferous and Permian periods. Mass extinctions 239 Mass extinctions occur when anomalously high numbers of species go extinct in a short period of time. The greatest recorded mass extinction in Earth history occurred at the end of the Permian Period. Charles D. Walcott 239 Charles D. Walcott, geologist and head of the Smithsonian Institution, was searching for fossils along a trail on Burgess Ridge between Mount Field and Mount Wapta, near Field, British Columbia, Canada."

"text": "\"Organization of the Animal Body Animals are characteristically multicellular heterotrophs whose cells lack cell walls. At some point during their lives, animals are capable of movement. In the most commonly encountered animals, this stage is the adult, although some animals (corals) have sessile (nonmobile) adult phases and mobile juvenile forms. Animal and plant evolutionary history both show the development of multicellularity and the move from water to land (as well as secondary adaptation back to water). Animals developed external or internal skeletons to provide support, skin to prevent or lessen water loss, muscles that allowed them to move in search of food, brains and nervous systems for integration of stimuli, and internal digestive systems. Most animals have a life cycle with a pre-adult stage, a predominance of the diploid stage, and a series of embryonic developmental stages. Evolution and Classification of Animals Animals probably evolved from marine protists, although no group of protists has been identified from an at-best sketchy fossil record for early animals. Cells in primitive animals show similarities to collared choanoflagellates as well as pseudopodia-producingamoeboid cells. Multicellular animal fossils and burrows (presumably made by multicellular animals) first appear 700 million years ago, during the late precambrian time (the Proterozoic). All known Proterozoic animal fossils had soft body parts: no shells or hard (and hence preservable as fossils) parts."

Recall that protostome and deuterostomes differ in certain aspects of their embryonic development, and they are named based on which opening of the digestive cavity develops first. The word deuterostome comes from the Greek word meaning “mouth second,” indicating that the anus is the first to develop. There are a series of other developmental characteristics that differ between protostomes and deuterostomes, including the mode of formation of the coelom and the early cell division of the embryo. In deuterostomes, internal pockets of the endodermal lining called the archenteron fuse to form the coelom. The endodermal lining of the archenteron (or the primitive gut) forms membrane protrusions that bud off and become the mesodermal layer. These buds, known as coelomic pouches, fuse to form the coelomic cavity, as they eventually separate from the endodermal layer. The resultant coelom is termed an enterocoelom. The archenteron develops into the alimentary canal, and a mouth opening is formed by invagination of ectoderm at the pole opposite the blastopore of the gastrula. The blastopore forms the anus of the alimentary system in the juvenile and adult forms."

This phylum is commonly called sponges. The number of species is estimated to be between 5,000 and 10,000. All are aquatic and almost all are marine. Animals in this phyla have no true tissues, which means, for example, that they have no nervous system or sense organs. Although sponges are multicellular, they are described as being essentially at a cellular level of organization. They are sessile as adults, but have a free swimming larva. Their bodies are porous."

Some classifications also include the phylum Hemichordata with the chordates. Chordate X-ray fish ( Pristella maxillaris ), is an example of a chordate with a visible backbone. © Andrew Williams/Shutterstock.com As the name implies, at some time in the life cycle a chordate possesses a stiff, dorsal supporting rod (the notochord). Also characteristic of the chordates are a tail that extends behind and above the anus, a hollow nerve cord above (or dorsal to) the gut, gill slits opening from the pharynx to the exterior, and an endostyle (a mucus-secreting structure) or its derivative between the gill slits. ( A characteristic feature may be present only in the developing embryo and may disappear as the embryo matures into the adult form.) A somewhat similar body plan can be found in the closely related phylum Hemichordata. General features Tunicates are small animals, typically one to five centimetres (0.4 to 2.0 inches) long, with a minimum length of about one millimetre (0.04 inch) and a maximum length slightly more than 20 centimetres; colonies may grow to 18 metres (59 feet) in length. Cephalochordates range from one to three centimetres. Vertebrates range in size from tiny fish to the whales, which include the largest animals ever to have existed."

"text": "Home »Job Descriptions »Industrial Job Tips What Types of Paleontologists Are There? By Carol Wiley; Updated July 05, 2017Jupiterimages/Banana Stock/Getty Images The University of California's Museum of Paleontology defines paleontology as the study of what fossils reveal about the ecologies of the past, evolution and the place of humans in the world. The various types of paleontologists use knowledge from anthropology, archaeology, biology, geology, ecology and computer science to determine the origin and destruction of the different types of organisms that have existed on Earth. Micropaleontologist Micropaleontology is the study of mostly microscopic fossils, which includes fossils of tiny invertebrate shells or skeletons, bacteria, spores, pollen and the small bones and teeth of large vertebrates. According to University College London, micropalaeontology is probably the largest branch of paleontology, because so many fossils are of such a small size. Paleoanthropologist Paleoanthropology, also called human paleontology, is the study of the prehistoric human past based on artifacts and fossilized human bones, and the context in which these specimens are found. This discipline is a combination of paleontology and physical anthropology. Taphonomist Taphonomy is the study of the processes of decay, preservation and how fossils are formed. According to the University of Arizona Geosciences, taphonomists ask specific questions: Does the assembly of the fossil accurately represent the original organism? Was any material lost or did the material condense during the fossilization process?"

They hunt practically anything, including tuna, smaller sharks and seals. However, the oceans are alive with less obvious, but equally important forms of marine life, such as bacteria. Marine life, or sea life or ocean life, is the plants, animals and other organisms that live in the salt water of the sea or ocean, or the brackish water of coastal estuaries. At a fundamental level, marine life helps determine the very nature of our planet. Marine organisms produce much of the oxygen we breathe. Shorelines are in part shaped and protected by marine life, and some marine organisms even help create new land. Most life forms evolved initially in marine habitats. Oceans provide about 99 percent of the living space on the planet. [ 1] The earliest vertebrates appeared in the form of fish, which live exclusively in water."

"text": "\"Thinkstock Iron Is Essential for Metabolism, Muscles, and Normal Bodily Functions If you’ve been told you’re not getting enough iron in your diet, you are not alone. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency globally — especially among children and pregnant women — and the only nutrient deficiency that is widely prevalent in developed countries, according to the World Health Organization. And that’s a big problem because the mineral plays a number of really important roles in our bodies’ daily functioning. Iron gets used by the body to help make the hemoglobin in red blood cells, which then carry oxygen throughout the body, from our lungs to our muscles and other organs. Blood cells also use hemoglobin to help carry carbon dioxide from other parts of the body to the lungs, where we exhale it out of the body. Plus, the body needs iron to make some hormones and connective tissue. It’s not a nutrient that you want to be lacking in. Not getting enough iron, a condition termed iron deficiency anemia (or just anemia), makes it difficult for your blood cells to deliver the oxygen your tissues and organs need. Symptoms you’ll notice can include feeling tired or not having any energy, having an upset stomach, finding it difficult to concentrate or remember things, having trouble keeping your body temperature regulated, or easily catching infections or getting sick. So how much should you be getting?"

Although hair loss can be caused by stress or a medical condition or treatment, for about 80 million people who suffer, it’s simply hereditary, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. ADVERTISEMENTThe good news is that thick, healthy hair is possible with a diet rich in certain foods that are not only good for your hair but for your overall health, too. Try these 8.1. Avocado Copper, a mineral found in avocado, is one of the best nutrients that fortify both hair and skin. “Copper builds up the collagen and elastin of the skin that holds the hair follicle,” said Dr. Ellen Marmur, a board-certified dermatologist and associate clinical professor in the department of dermatology and the department of genetics and genomic research at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Copper also helps to balance the hormones so hair grows strong and aids other reactions in the scalp that strengthen lipids in the hair. Other copper-rich foods include shellfish, veal, beef, whole grains, dark leafy green vegetables, beans and legumes, nuts and chocolate.2. Pumpkin seeds Known as a “co-factor,” the zinc found in pumpkin seeds helps with cellular turnover, cell division and growth that help to form keratin, a protein that makes up hair, Marmur said. Zinc can also preserve hair color and prevent dandruff."

Nearly all foods except for highly refined products such as sugar, alcohol and oils contain varying amounts of protein. Some plant-based powerhouses like beans, grains, nuts and seeds can serve up even more protein per serving than an ounce of meat. Certain vegetables also pack a protein punch, as well as being high in fiber and nutrients.

Peas are also full of fiber and can be enjoyed fresh or frozen, in soups, stews, side dishes, casseroles and salads. Steam up Some Spinach Popeye was right -- spinach can make you stronger. One cup of cooked spinach contains 5 grams of protein. Try adding fresh spinach to sandwiches for a quick nutritional boost.

While magnesium is considered a minor nutrient, magnesium superfoods play a significant role in your overall health and are essential to every function and tissue in the body. In general, to provide magnesium foods to your body, look for those packed with dietary fiber, including: Almonds Avocado Black beans Bran cereal Brown rice Cashews Cereal (shredded wheat)Edamame Kidney beans Oatmeal Peanut butter Peanuts Potato with skin Pumpkin Raisins Soymilk Spinach Whole grain bread Yogurt Not only do magnesium foods support a healthy immune system and improve bone health, they may help prevent the inflammation associated with certain cancers, according to a study published in June 2017 in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences. Magnesium-rich foods have been found to increase heart health, help prevent stroke, and could even cut your risk of dying from a heart attack. Additionally, magnesium foods help to support normal nerve and muscle function and keep your heartbeat in sync. A study published in October 2017 in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research found that a nutritionally balanced vegan diet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables lowered triglycerides, insulin, and cholesterol in study participants when compared with a healthy, controlled omnivorous diet (both plant and animal foods). A plant-based diet includes magnesium-rich fruits, vegetables, beans and peas, grains, soy, seeds, and nuts. A vegetarian diet is plant-based, but a vegan diet excludes all meat, dairy, and animal products. Some findings from Harvard University reveal that a high daily magnesium intake reduces the risk of diabetes by up to 33 percent; still other studies conclude that magnesium rich foods help ward off depression and migraines. Magnesium supplements are available over-the-counter at most supermarkets and pharmacies, but experts say it is preferable to eat whole foods containing magnesium naturally to prevent a magnesium deficiency."

The Harvard School of Public Health recommends choosing a 6-ounce piece of salmon with 34 grams of protein and only 4 grams of saturated fat instead of a 6-ounce broiled porterhouse steak with 38 grams of protein and a whopping 16 grams of saturated fat. The list for the top 10 foods highest in protein only includes protein-rich foods that are also lower in fat and containing other essential nutrients.

There are a wide range of ways to use soybeans, ranging from the fermented and aged soybeans in soy sauce to the milked soybeans used to produce soymilk, a popular dairy alternative. Many people eat soy products because the beans are believed to be beneficial to human health, since they carry lots of protein, calcium, and vitamin C. In many cases, soy products are also high in fiber, especially when whole beans are eaten as is the case with edamame. Typically, soybeans are allowed to mature on the vine to form hard beans which can be easily harvested and stored. However, they can also be picked at the peak of ripeness, right before they start to harden, and these soybeans are called edamame in Japan or mao dou in China. The beans are tender, soft, high in nutritional value, and they have a delicate flavor which some consumers find quite enjoyable."

Michigan typically ranks twelfth of the 31 states in the U. S. that produce this popular legume. In an average year, almost two million acres of soybeans are planted in the spring and harvested in October or November when the leaves and stalks turn brown. But why do we grow so much and where does it go? According to Mike Staton, a Michigan State University Extension Soybean educator, soybeans contain two marketable components: meal and oil. Soybean meal is very high in protein. Ninety eight percent of soybean meal is used for animal feed (poultry, hogs and cattle mostly) and only one percent is used to produce food for people. On the other hand, 88 percent of soybean oil is used for human consumption (mostly cooking oil) and 12 percent is used as an alternative to petroleum oil."

For example, whole-grain bread is a better choice than refined white bread. Nutritious carbohydrate foods provide a rich source of fiber, since fiber itself is a form of carbohydrate. The healthiest carbohydrates come from unprocessed or minimally processed plant-based foods.

Most Americans need to reduce their consumption of meat. You need to replace the missing protein when you cut back, and beans are the perfect food for the job. They’re high in dietary fiber, low in fats and usually contain no cholesterol. Moreover, beans are as -- if not more -- versatile than meat and much less expensive. Varieties Anasazi beans, black beans, black-eyed peas, chickpeas, edamame, fava beans, lentils, lima beans and kidney beans are examples of different varieties. Some beans, such as edamame, are eaten prior to drying, meaning they cook quickly. Others, such as lentils, require less than 30 minutes to cook from a dried state."

Interest in the health benefits of soy first emerged when scientists observed that Asian populations consuming their traditional diets have much lower rates of heart disease and some cancers compared to people in Western populations. With all the research and knowledge on soy’s health benefits, there are now even more soy foods for us to choose from, like yoghurts, cheese, breads, breakfast cereals and meat alternatives like burger patties, soy sausages and sandwich slices. Why is soy so nutritious? High quality protein Protein helps to support the growth and repair of your body’s cells. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and while your body can make some of them, there are nine amino acids that need to come from your diet. Soy protein contains all of the nine essential amino acids and is therefore called a high quality protein. High in fibre Like all legumes, soy beans are high in fibre.

While magnesium is considered a minor nutrient, magnesium superfoods play a significant role in your overall health and are essential to every function and tissue in the body. In general, to provide magnesium foods to your body, look for those packed with dietary fiber, including: Almonds Avocado Black beans Bran cereal Brown rice Cashews Cereal (shredded wheat)Edamame Kidney beans Oatmeal Peanut butter Peanuts Potato with skin Pumpkin Raisins Soymilk Spinach Whole grain bread Yogurt Not only do magnesium foods support a healthy immune system and improve bone health, they may help prevent the inflammation associated with certain cancers, according to a study published in June 2017 in the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences. Magnesium-rich foods have been found to increase heart health, help prevent stroke, and could even cut your risk of dying from a heart attack. Additionally, magnesium foods help to support normal nerve and muscle function and keep your heartbeat in sync. A study published in October 2017 in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research found that a nutritionally balanced vegan diet filled with fresh fruits and vegetables lowered triglycerides, insulin, and cholesterol in study participants when compared with a healthy, controlled omnivorous diet (both plant and animal foods). A plant-based diet includes magnesium-rich fruits, vegetables, beans and peas, grains, soy, seeds, and nuts. A vegetarian diet is plant-based, but a vegan diet excludes all meat, dairy, and animal products. Some findings from Harvard University reveal that a high daily magnesium intake reduces the risk of diabetes by up to 33 percent; still other studies conclude that magnesium rich foods help ward off depression and migraines. Magnesium supplements are available over-the-counter at most supermarkets and pharmacies, but experts say it is preferable to eat whole foods containing magnesium naturally to prevent a magnesium deficiency."

A lawyer with a four-day trial in another county will probably stay at a local hotel rather than drive back and forth. And due to the tough job market, attorneys are moving out of state to take temporary or indefinite positions. With proper planning, travel expenses can be written off as a deductible business expense. Travel expenses are deductible as a business expense if they meet the following requirements: They are incurred while away from home. The expenses are reasonable, ordinary, and necessary. They are explicitly connected to a business purpose. Expenses Must Be Incurred While “Away from Home”For most lawyers, their “home” is the city or general area of their regular place of business or home office. To qualify for the travel expense deduction, they have to be away from home long enough to require overnight sleep or a similar resting period."

"text": "Are Legal Expenses Tax Deductible?by Clint Coons | Jan 11, 2016 | Tax |Share 5 Tweet +1 2 Share Email7Afrequent question that arises is whether legal expenses are tax deductible. The answer to that question can be both yes and no and can be complicated depending upon the nature of the legal expense. The Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which is the body of tax laws written by the United States (U. S.) Congress and approved by the president in office at the time the law is created, tells us that except as otherwise expressly provided, such as itemized deductions, no deduction shall be allowed for personal, living, or family expenses. The IRC also says that, in the case of an individual, deductions are allowed for all of the ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year: For the production or collection of taxable income;For the management, conservation, or maintenance of property held for the production of income; or In connection with the determination, collection, or refund of any tax. Applying those IRC provisions will allow you to determine whether a legal expense you’ve incurred is deductible or not, but the application can sometimes be complicated and also must take into account the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS’s) interpretation of the law through rulings and regulations as well as the courts’ opinions on all of the above. The following are some frequently encountered situations and how legal expenses paid in those situations should be handled: Divorce – Legal costs, such as attorney fees and court costs, connected with divorce, separation, or support are non-deductible personal expenses. Non-deductibility extends to legal fees incurred in disputes over money claims. However, legal and accounting fees paid for tax advice in connection with the divorce are deductible, provided the amounts for those services are delineated on the legal firm’s billings. Taxable Alimony – The part of legal fees attributable to producing taxable alimony is deductible by the recipient of the alimony. The attorney’s statement or invoice should stipulate what part of the fee relates to alimony to ensure a deduction for the alimony recipient."

Typically, some common marketing expenses include marketing salaries, marketing research, promotions, public relations and advertising costs. Accounting Definition Marketing expenses are calculated in the equation to determine business profit. When calculating business profit, marketing expense is subtracted from business profit. The profit on a particular business is always a function of the amount of units the business sells, times the margin made on each unit, less the marketing expense involved, less the direct overhead.

But your medical bills have to exceed a high threshold before they count as deductions. The IRS lets you deduct medical costs on your tax return as long as they are more than 10 percent of your adjusted gross income. And only costs that exceed that amount can be deducted. Taxpayers who are 65 or older can still use the previous 7.5 percent threshold to claim itemized medical expenses from the 2016 tax year, though the 10 percent hurdle applies going forward. The percentage may seem unattainable at first glance, but with a little tax triage you might just meet it. Whose medical deductions can you count? Medical and dental bills for you, your spouse and your dependents — everyone listed on your tax return — count toward the allowable deduction limit. You might be able to count some medical expenses you paid for your parents, even if they aren’t considered your dependents for exemption purposes."

"text": "Are Advisory Fees Tax Deductible? Submitted by LFM | Austin & San Antonio Financial Advisors on February 22nd, 2014Investment Taxes It’s tax season again, and a question we get from a number of clients after receiving their yearend statements is, “Are my investment advisory fees tax deductible?” And the answer is an equivocal, “It depends. ”Congress did grant a tax deduction for certain investment expenses, but with anything to do with the tax code, the devil’s is in the details. Not to worry though, we’ll use this opportunity to settle the issue no matter your situation. In general, the tax code allows for the deduction of expenses incurred in the production of income. With regards to investment income expenses, there are essentially two types: Any expense incurred in the purchase or sale of a security, such a commission or a sales load on a mutual fund. These expenses are not tax deductible. Rather, they are applied against the cost basis in the purchase or sale of the security. Expenses incurred in the production of income are tax deductible on line 23 of your Schedule A above the 2 percent of AGI threshold (investment expense deductions cannot be taken on the 1040 short form)."

I have received some conflicting information. This issue pops up all the time. And I'll bet part of the reason is that bonds can be confusing: There are different rules for different types of bonds. Fortunately, the answer to your question is fairly straightforward. Here it is, updated for the new year. And it includes some points from Daniel J. Pederson, author of \"\"Savings Bonds: When to Hold, When to Fold, and Everything In-Between\"\" (Sage Creek Press; 276 pages; $19.95): Because these bonds were first issued in 1980, all Series EE bonds are still earning interest. Series E bonds issued in November 1965 or before earn interest for 40 years from date of issue. Because some of these bonds were issued as far back as World War II, some have stopped earning interest. All Series E bonds issued in January 1961 or before don't earn interest any longer and should be cashed in, Pederson said."

In this photo gallery, we'll show you the denominations that are available to Series EE savings bond investors that want to invest in paper bonds (the alternative is the new electronic system that allows you to open an account directly with the Treasury department and invest in bonds over the Internet).

The paper version of the $50 United States Series EE Savings Bond certificate features a vignette of the nation's first president, George Washington.

These bonds were purchased at half their face value. Over their original maturities, the bonds increase in value to become worth at least the face amount. During the extended maturity period, the bond continues to earn interest according to the terms of the extension period. The Series EE bond you own from 1983 will reach its final extended maturity in June 2013. At final maturity, the bond stops earning interest.

Depending on the interest rate, you might be able to get a higher rate of return with another investment. You might need the cash for another purpose, like paying down debt or buying a home. If the bond has matured to the point where it has quit earning interest, making the decision to cash it in is a slam dunk. Or maybe you just want a more attractive investment. Whatever your reason, cashing in an EE Savings Bond is a relatively routine transaction that can be carried out at most banks. Nevertheless, you should know a few things before moving ahead.

Savings bonds were sold in June - for graduation gifts, for wedding gifts, and just because of the patriotic feelings on the Fourth of July. Those days are long gone. After selling billions of dollars of Series EE bonds annually, last year the Treasury sold only 430,572 EE bonds worth just under $68 million. What happened to Series EE U. S. Savings bonds? The government tinkered with the interest rate formula, making them far less attractive as an investment by fixing rates for the life of the bond. Then in 2012, the government stopped issuing paper savings bonds, removing their appeal as a gift. And the Treasury stopped marketing savings bonds, maybe because the government was accumulating such huge debt by overspending that they didn’t want to call attention to its need to borrow money. A Sad Demise U. S. Savings bonds have had a long and storied history, starting with Series A-D bonds, offered during the depression to give people an incentive to save safely. The Series E bond was launched on April 30, 1941 by President Roosevelt as a way of funding World War II. Those bonds, sold as a patriotic investment, had an initial 10-year maturity and were sold at a discount to face value (maturing to full value in 10 years)."

"text": "Consuming Raw or Undercooked Asian Swamp Eels Can Infect Humans With Parasites By Lydia Zuraw | March 13, 2014In Southeast Asia, swamp eels are a common source of human gnathostomiasis, a foodborne zoonosis caused by parasitic Gnathostoma larvae. If the infected eels are eaten undercooked or raw, the parasite can cause mild to serious consequences in humans, including blindness, paralysis or even death. So researchers at the U. S. Geological Survey wanted to find out whether the live eels imported into the U. S. and sold in ethnic food markets or released into the wild are also infected. “The reason was to examine the imported live eels both for risk to consumers but also to North American fish and wildlife,” says Rebecca Cole, lead author of the study published in the April 2014 issue of the public health journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases. The team is concerned that eels released into the wild could be introducing the parasites to native species. They examined 47 eels from markets and found that 13 were infected in the liver, muscle, gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. Three of the 67 wild-caught eels were infected with the parasite. Most organs are disposed of when an eel is butchered, but the risk of human infection persists if the muscle is infected. In addition, Cole says, the offal needs to be disposed of so that fish, wildlife or domestic carnivores can’t consume it and become infected themselves. Human gnathostomiasis is rare in the U. S., so much so that “if it is diagnosed in a human, clinicians will usually write it up and submit it to a journal,” Cole says."

Spawning Adult horseshoe crabs gather on beaches in large numbers to dig nests and lay and fertilize eggs. This process is known as spawning. The start of their inshore movement from deep bay and coastal waters appears to be triggered by lengthening daylight hours. Spawning in the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays usually begins during the latter part of May. The peak in spawning activity usually coincides with the high tide during the full moon and new moon in May and June in Delaware and New Jersey. However, in Florida, breeding activity continues between March and November with peak spawning occurring as early as April (Brockmann, 1990) and continuing through August (Rudloe, 1980). In Massachusetts, spawning occurs between May and July (Barlow et al ., 1986).

Some are herbivores (plant-eaters); some are carnivores (meat-eaters); some are omnivores (plant- and meat-eaters); and some are detritivores (animals that eat decomposing plants and animals). As a group, bony fishes can eat all sizes of plants and animals, from microscopic plant plankton to some of the largest marine animals. Some of the animals common in the diets of bony fishes include: annelid worms, marine snails, mussels, clams, squids, crustaceans, insects, birds, amphibians, small mammals, and other fishes. Food Intake The amount of food a bony fish eats is directly related to its size, its metabolic rate, and the temperature of its environment. Smaller fishes generally have a higher metabolic rate than large fishes of the same species. Thus, small fishes generally eat proportionately more. Warm-water fishes generally require more food than similar-size cold-water fishes. A fish's body temperature - and its metabolic rate - is determined by the temperature of its environment.

Physical Description [ edit]Synx are hairless, white, genderless, and eel-like, with four clawed tentacles. They lack bones, but a cartilage \"\"skeleton\"\" allows them to appear humanoid, with the tentacles acting as limbs and the lower abdomen as a tail. This allows them to move amongst other humanoids without arousing suspicion, but they are not meant to travel in this form and move slowly if at all. The lifespan of the synx is unknown, as they are often violently killed long before they can die of old age. Estimates range from 20 years to immortality. Synx can only eat live prey, as prepared or rotten food is too alien for them. They also have no tolerance for plant life, or sunlight, and both can harm or kill them. Instead of hunting for live prey in an environment so toxic to them, synx prefer to dig inside of large animals and live inside their digestive tract, acting as a parasite until the host inevitably dies. They are perpetually smiling, but their eyes and other facial features betray no emotion whatsoever."

However, they do have major implications for businesses, and non-compliance is a punishable offence. It is therefore vital to be sure whether or not your business is affected, and what you may need to do to comply. Sectors potentially affected include: Electricity supply industry Public and private water supply Aggregate washing Paper manufacture Oil refining & chemical industries Other industrial uses Spray irrigation (agricultural and non-agricultural)Other agricultural uses Fish farming, cress growing, amenity ponds Are you affected? If you:operate a diversion structure capable of abstracting at least 20 cubic metres of water per 24 hours, through any one abstraction point,have a diversion structure returning water to a channel, bed or sea, orare constructing, altering or maintaining a dam, impounding works, or any other structure in or near water liable to cause an obstruction to the passage of eelsthen you will be required to comply with the regulations. Who is exempt? You may be exempt if:it can be statistically proven that eels are absent from the water course,your current screening provides adequate protection, oryour flow or intake configuration is such that \"\"not many eels will be impinged or entrained\"\". What does this mean for your business? If you are required to comply with the regulations, then: On or after 1st January 2015 you may be required to fit a screen to your intake structure in order to protect eels Screen mesh sizes to be fitted: Estuary to tidal limit = 1mm; tidal limit to 30km upstream = 2-3mm; 30km upstream of tidal limit = 9-20mm You may also need to maintain low screen approach velocities, depending on the life stages of eels present The Environment Agency may also serve you with a notice requiring that an eel screen be fitted before 1st January 2015You may be required to construct and maintain a by-wash to return excluded eels to the waters they came from You must notify the Environment Agency of the construction, alteration or maintenance of any structure likely to affect the free passage of eels Pisces Conservation can assist at every stage - find out how we can help you ."

"text": ". Moray Eel The Moray Eel is a long, skinny fish that can grow up to 13 feet in length, or twice as long as an adult person. One type of eel, the giant moray, can weigh more than you! The body of this fish looks almost like a snake. They are fish, but don’t have pectoral and pelvic fins on the sides of their bodies like other fish do. Their dorsal fin extends from just behind the head and along the back and joins seamlessly with the caudal and anal fins. The green moral eel looks like a beautiful, long green ribbon when seen swimming in the open water. Sometimes they are called “painted eels” because certain species are very brightly colored. A species called the Green moray eel is actually blue, but has a slimy yellow coating on its body that makes the eel appear green. The slime protects the eel as it moves through rocky crevices."

Animal-World’s Newest Featured Animals are: The Amazing Spotted Snake Eels!Out of all the salt-water fish I have ever owned, I have to say the Snake Eels of the Myrichthys genus have always been my favorites! Watching them bury under the sand, leaving just their head sticking out, is the funkiest thing you’ll ever see. But the coolest part of owning them is that they will eat silversides right from your hand! And if they accidentally grab your finger, it never hurts becuase they grab and swallow their prey rather than biting it. I will refer to these as Spotted Snake Eels, because, well they are spotted! Two similar species are the Spotted or Tiger Snake Eel Myrichthys maculosus and the Magnificent Snake Eel Myrichthys magnificus, and these two are similar in care as well. Both are a creamy off white with large brown spots all over their bodies. But the Magnificent Snake Eel is a light tan color with large brown spots while the Tiger Snake Eel seems to be more of a creamy white and with slightly smaller dark brown spots."

Find out the top 10 Belgian foods you must try. Belgian food plays an important part in Belgian culture. Everyone know about the famous Belgian waffles but did you also know that Belgium has one of the highest densities of Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe, although many Belgians' top favourite foods are also home-cooked comfort dishes and street-vendor snack foods. Just as the country is divided linguistically, it's also divided food-wise. Flemish cuisine has a strong Dutch influence, while Wallonian cooking is very similar to French foods with lots of rich sauces. Most dishes are based around meat or fish, with seafood playing an important role in Belgian cuisine. In 2017, even Ostend's oysters, referred to as 'Ostendaises', were granted Flemish protected regional status; grown in the Spuikom, just off the shoreline, it's the only approved site in Flanders for oyster-growing On the sweet side, top Belgian desserts are often rich pastries or decadent chocolates. Almost everything, including desserts, is usually washed down with wine or the national drink beer. Here we list 10 top Belgian foods you have to try, as well as recipes so you can incorporate a touch of Belgian food to your weekly menu – some of the top Belgian dishes are easier to make than you think."

The Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic is bounded by the Gulf Stream on the west, the North Atlantic Current on the north, the Canary Current on the east, and the North Equatorial Current on the south. The Sargasso Sea ( / s ɑːr ˈ ɡ æ s oʊ /) is a region of the North Atlantic Ocean bounded by four currents forming an ocean gyre. [ 1] Unlike all other regions called seas, it has no land boundaries. [ 2] [3] [4] It is distinguished from other parts of the Atlantic Ocean by its characteristic brown Sargassum seaweed and often calm blue water. [ 1]The sea is bounded on the west by the Gulf Stream, on the north by the North Atlantic Current, on the east by the Canary Current, and on the south by the North Atlantic Equatorial Current, a clockwise-circulating system of ocean currents termed the North Atlantic Gyre. It lies between 70° and 40° W, and 20° to 35° N, and is approximately 1,100 km wide by 3,200 km long (700 by 2,000 statute miles ). [ 5] [6] Bermuda is near the western fringes of the sea. [ 7]All the currents deposit the marine plants and refuse they carry into this sea, yet the ocean water in the Sargasso Sea is distinctive for its deep blue color and exceptional clarity, with underwater visibility of up to 61 m (200 ft).

It is currently available as a remixed and remastered Polydor CD (539 791-2, 1998). It was released simultaneously in the US (MCA 2126), on CD (MCA MCAD-1659) and is also now available as a remixed & remastered CD on MCA (MCAD-11718, 1998). The original ODDS & SODS album was compiled by John Entwistle and in what was seen as an innovative move at the time, the titles of the songs were written in Braille on the rear sleeve. A poster and lyric sheet were included in the package, together with extensive liner notes by Pete Townshend which took the form of a track-by-track explanation, a longer form of which was published in New Musical Express, issue dated September 21, 1974. ODDS & SODS was The Who’s attempt at clearing the decks. Over the years they’d recorded many songs that were never released, though some of them notably ‘Naked Eye’ and ‘Pure And Easy’ had been played live and were well known to fans. The original album included 11 tracks, some remixed or remastered versions of which appeared as bonus tracks on other CD upgrades. The remixed and remastered CD consisted of a single disc but expanded by 12 bonus tracks. The intent was to make a number of compilations redundant while keeping with the original spirit of collecting together various Who curios."

"text": "Introduction This note defines the term hot smoking, gives a general description of the process and the equipment used, and then gives specific recipes for all the hot smoked fish products encountered in the UK industry. Advice is also given on the packing, storage and keeping quality of the finished products. Definition of hot smoking There are two methods of making smoked fish in the UK, by cold smoking and by hot smoking. Cold smoking means curing fish by smoking at an air temperature not higher than 33°C to avoid cooking the flesh or coagulating the protein; with the one exception of smoked salmon, which is eaten raw, all cold smoked products are cooked before they are eaten. Hot smoking means curing fish by smoking at a temperature of 70-80°C at some stage in the process in order to cook the flesh; hot smoked fish products do not require further cooking before consumption. The hot smoking process Raw material Chilled wet fish or thawed frozen fish of good quality should be used for making hot smoked products; stale raw material makes poor smoked fish. Whole fish should first be washed to remove loose scales and slime, then gutted and if required beheaded. The belly cavity should be cleaned to remove traces of blood, and any black bellywall lining removed. The fish should be washed again before brining them. If fillets are cut, they should be trimmed and be reasonably free from blemishes."

Eels ( Anguilla spp.) are fish belonging to the elopomorph superorder, a group of phylogenetically ancient teleosts. [ 2] The American eel has a slender snakelike body that is covered with a mucous layer, which makes the eel appear to be naked and slimy despite the presence of minute scales. A long dorsal fin runs from the middle of the back and is continuous with a similar ventral fin. Pelvic fins are absent, and relatively small pectoral fin can be found near the midline, followed by the head and gill-covers. Variations exist in coloration, from olive green, brown shading to greenish-yellow and light gray or white on the belly. Eels from clear water are often lighter than those from dark, tannic acid streams. [ 3]The eel lives in fresh water and estuaries and only leaves these habitats to enter the Atlantic Ocean to start its spawning migration to the Sargasso Sea. [ 4] Spawning takes place far offshore where the eggs hatch."

Family history of Pr Ca, particularly at a young age, is a strong risk factor. There have been previous reports of increased Pr Ca risk in male BRCA1 mutation carriers in female breast cancer families, but there is a controversy as to whether this risk is substantiated. We sought to evaluate the role of germline BRCA1 mutations in Pr Ca predisposition by performing a candidate gene study in a large UK population sample set. Methods: We screened 913 cases aged 36–86 years for germline BRCA1 mutation, with the study enriched for cases with an early age of onset. We analysed the entire coding region of the BRCA1 gene using Sanger sequencing. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification was also used to assess the frequency of large rearrangements in 460 cases. Results: We identified 4 deleterious mutations and 45 unclassified variants (UV). The frequency of deleterious BRCA1 mutation in this study is 0.45%; three of the mutation carriers were affected at age 65 years and one developed Pr Ca at 69 years. Using previously estimated population carrier frequencies, deleterious BRCA1 mutations confer a relative risk of Pr Ca of ∼ 3.75-fold, (95% confidence interval 1.02–9.6) translating to a 8.6% cumulative risk by age 65."

Water Bailiff's from the Forth District Salmon Fisheries Board were patrolling the river Forth in Stirling on Friday 9th September 2011, when they received a report of two males poaching near to Dobbies Garden Centre. The Bailiff's responded immediately and came across the two accused fishing with rod and line. Both men were spoken too and had their gear seized and were later charged with a contravention of the Fish Conservation (Prohibition on Fishing for Eels) (Scotland) Regulations 2008, by officers from the Central Scotland Police's Wildlife Crime Unit who were called into assist the Water Baliff's. The case was heard on Wednesday 9th May 2012, and one of the accused pled guilty to the charge and was given an admonishment. The others plea of not guilty was accepted by the Court.

"text": "The longfin eel (scientific name Anguilla dieffenbachii) is one of estimated 35 New Zealand native freshwater fish species, almost all of which are in decline. More than half are on the threatened species list 1. There are only around 16 freshwater eel species in the world, three of which can be found in Aotearoa/New Zealand. What makes the longfin eel important is that it is endemic, which means they are found nowhere else. Longfin eels vary in colour, but are usually dark-brown to gray-black, although very rarely they are fully or partially yellow. The longfin is distinguishable from its shortfin (non-endemic but still native) cousin by the length of its dorsal (back) fin, which extends to around two-thirds the length of its back . They also have pectoral (side) fins, which have 16–20 bony rays. Like all fish, eels have scales,but as they are very small and embedded in their skin eels have a slippery and scale-less appearance. Eels can absorb up to 50% of their oxygen needs through the skin, which can get slimy when they are stressed. Their mouths are large, with small, sandpaper-like teeth that point inwards, and they have sensors (that look like white spots around the lips) that detect movement in front of them."

Answer by Jjjjjessie Confidence votes 267Eggs are often confused as both a form of dairy and of meat, but in reality, they are neither. Because eggs are an animal byproduct, just like milk, many people catagorize eggs as dairy. However, dairy is very specifically designated as the byproduct of the mammary glands of mammals like cows or goats. Essentially dairy is any milk or milk-made product, such as butter or ice-cream. However, eggs are not meat either. Eggs are the fetal form of a mature animal, and are considered their own entity in and of themselves, than meat. Eggs are eggs and meat is meat. ~improved~ The answer above is both right and wrong."

Globally, Australia is very young in terms of the history of duck as a commercial enterprise. It is only since the 1970s -80s that the duck industry in Australia has really expanded, with two main companies, Pepe’s Ducks and Luv-a-Duck. These companies have capitalised on improvements in duck growth which has been fuelled by research in Europe and North America and by adapting this to suit Australian conditions.

The fact is that eggs are a great source of protein and depending on how they are prepared, they can also be low in calories. There are countless ways you can prepare and enjoy your eggs as part of a healthy diet. Sponsored Listing First, it’s important to know that there are two parts to an egg – the whites and the yolk. The yolk is the part that contains all of the cholesterol as well as the majority of the calories. Also hidden in the yolk are vitamins A and B as well as riboflavins and iron. The whites on the other hand contain no cholesterol, are low in calories and are packed full of protein. Because the health risks outweigh the gains, a lot of people choose to separate the whites from the yolks to be used on their own.

Winters are cold, cloudy, and humid, with temperatures typically around 30°F.2 HISTORY AND FOODCzech cuisine was influenced historically by the surrounding regions that dominated the country. In 1273, Count Rudolph, King of Germany, founded the Hapsburg dynasty. Eventually the dynasty controlled most of Europe, including the region of the present-day Czech Republic."

This includes mould-ripened soft goats' cheese, such as chèvre. These cheeses are only safe to eat in pregnancy if they've been cooked. Soft blue cheeses You should also avoid soft blue-veined cheeses such as danish blue, gorgonzola and roquefort. Soft blue cheeses are only safe to eat in pregnancy if they've been cooked. It's advised pregnant women avoid some soft cheeses because they're less acidic than hard cheeses and contain more moisture, which means they can be an ideal environment for harmful bacteria, such as listeria, to grow in. Although infection with listeria (listeriosis) is rare, it's important to take special precautions in pregnancy – even a mild form of the illness in a pregnant woman can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth or severe illness in a newborn baby. Find out about the symptoms of listeria."

Birds live free range and hatch their own eggs. Their diet is supplemented with crop waste or food leftovers. The labour involved in backyard poultry production is part-time. Farm flock production is slightly more specialized. Eggs are hatched at a separate location where the hatch and the sexing of the birds are controlled. Commercial poultry farm production involves full-time labour and is geared toward producing on a sufficient scale for the sale of both eggs and poultry meat. Specialized egg production consists of separating poultry for meat and egg production."

And milk is animal derived. 2) Its produced by a mammal for her baby. It's not ethical. I've seen myself how cows and their babies are treated. Even if she and her babies don't die in the process they are harmed physically and mentally. In my opinion it's equivalent to cutting a piece of meat from a cow's body, eating it, and saying \"\"she didn't die so it's veg\"\". I think most people won't accept that milk is non-vegetarian because their community is drinking it for ages and they have always called themselves vegetarian. AND IT'S TOO DIFFICULT TO STOP CONSUMING DAIRY SO THEY CHOOSE THE EASIER WAY- 'CONSIDERING DAIRY AS VEGETARIAN'. I am a 'vegetarian' by birth."

"text": "Put Eggs in a Bowl of Water to See If They've Gone Bad Whitson Gordon4/06/12 6:00pm Filed to: Food 75 4There's nothing worse than cracking open a rotten egg, but it can sometimes be hard to tell if your eggs have gone bad just by looking at them. About.com shows us a simple trick for telling if an egg is bad, without having to open it up and see. All you need to do is fill a bowl with cold water and place the egg inside. If it sinks to the bottom, it's good. If it sinks but stands on its point, it's good, but won't be good for much longer and should be used soon. If it floats, toss it. This works because old eggs will have lost a lot of the liquid on the inside, evaporating through their porous shell—causing the egg to float instead of sink. Hit the link to read more.

Save This area is also known as Schwabenland, or Swabia in English. I grew up in Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg. It is both a bustling city of industry as well as one of great beauty and impressive history. Stuttgart is Germany’s 6th largest city with a population of over 600,000. Stuttgart is the proud home of Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Bosch, and the first VW Beetle prototype. Stuttgart is also one of Germany’s largest wine-growing cities, and wine-making in Stuttgart dates back to 1108 A. D. where a Catholic monastery started making it. Stuttgart is home to some of the greatest philosophers and literary giants, including Friedrich Schiller, and is also home to several large universities.

At one time people were concerned about eating eggs because of the amount of cholesterol in the yolks. Today, research has found that eggs also raise the good cholesterol that our bodies need. Boiling an egg is really very simple! I have read many different opinions about the best method for making perfect hard-cooked (boiled) eggs and have discovered, through my own personal testing, the following method which gives perfect results. Coddling: The method of coddling eggs will not toughen the whites as boiling does. Coddling also makes an egg easier to peel. The cold water finish creates steam between the egg white and the shell which makes the shell easier to remove. According to the American Egg Board, the terms “hard-boiled” and “soft-boiled” eggs are really misnomers, because boiling eggs makes them tough and rubbery. Instead, these eggs should be “hard-” or “soft-cooked” in hot (still) water."

"text": "\"How To Tell if Your 'Expired' Eggs Are Still Good to Eat By Gabrielle Taylor 07/18/2016 10:50 am A lot of people rely on the date on the packaging to tell them when food has gone bad, even with eggs, but the \"\"sell by\"\" dates are often rather arbitrary, and do not correlate to expiration dates. If you've been tossing away your eggs based on the dates on your carton—you're wrong. Your eyes and nose are the best tools for determining freshness with meats, produce and herbs, but you can't really use your senses to test an egg before you crack it (unless you're highly skilled). Image via Shutterstock Eggs are often still good to eat long after the date on the packaging says to throw them out. If you want to test how fresh they are before finding out the hard way, here are a few methods for testing them. The Best Method for Uncracked Eggs: The Float Test Just fill a bowl with cold water and place your eggs in the bowl. If they sink to the bottom and lay flat on their sides, they're very fresh. If they're a few weeks old but still good to eat, they'll stand on one end at the bottom of the bowl. If they float to the surface, they're no longer fresh enough to eat. Don't Miss: The Best Way to Test Baking Soda/Powder for Freshness While you could fry or scramble an egg that's on its side or standing upright, when it comes to hard-boiling, you'll want the upright ones, as Yumi points out in her guide to peeling hard-boiled eggs."

These are subsequently identified and quantified. This chapter presents diagnostic techniques within the reach of most laboratories to identify and quantify parasite infections from the examination of faecal material. The following are the main tasks involved in this process:· Collection of faecal samples · Separation of eggs/larvae from faecal material, and their concentration · Microscopical examination of prepared specimens · Preparation of faecal cultures · Isolation and identification of larvae from cultures It is important to understand the following basic limitations of faecal examination in the diagnosis of gastro-intestinal parasitism. ( a) The demonstration of parasite eggs or larvae in the faeces provides positive evidence that an animal is infected but does not indicate the degree of an infection. ( b) The failure to demonstrate eggs or larvae does not necessarily mean that no parasites are present; they may be present in an immature stage or the test used may not be sufficiently sensitive. ( c) There is generally no correlation between the numbers of eggs/larvae per gram of faeces and the number of adult nematodes present in cattle. An exception to this may occur in a primary infection in young grazing animals during their first exposure. There are some indications that the correlation is stronger in sheep and goats with mixed infections."

The eggs can be incubated using natural methods, artificial methods or a combination of both. These methods have both advantages and disadvantages that should be considered by each individual interested in incubating peafowl eggs. I have used all three of these methods and have found that artificial incubation best suits my needs in raising peafowl. The purpose of this article is to share the information that I have learned through the years on how to artificially incubate peafowl eggs. Successful incubation of peafowl eggs starts before the first egg is even laid. Breeder birds should be free of external and internal parasites. There are many products available which make this easy to achieve. The breeder birds should be on a chicken or pheasant layer feed at least a month before the first egg is expected to be laid. Oyster shell should be provided to the birds free choice."

Although we can’t expect to fully eradicate these pests from our planet, there are ways to deal with them. By using technology, repellents, insecticides and good old-fashioned common sense, we can help keep them away from our families and pets and prevent mosquito-borne diseases from spreading further throughout this world. Let's take a closer look at some facts you may not know about these little pests!MOSQUITO FACTS | MOSQUITO LIFE CYCLE | PREVENTING BREEDINGAll About Mosquitoes Mosquito Magnet® can help you learn all about mosquitoes in its articles section and learning center, and this list is just a sample of some of the mosquito information we have gathered to help home and business owners in their battle against these frustrating and deadly insects.

"text": "Best way How To Hard Boil Eggs perfectly So you want to know how to hard boil eggs and how long to boil eggs? Look at the next paragraph below for fast information. This page will explain in detail how to boil eggs the way they should be boiled. It also explains how to cook farm-fresh eggs so that when you peel them a lot of the egg white won’t stick to the peels. In other words, boiling eggs the right way. Sponsored Listing Perfectly Hard Boiled Eggs Look at the steps below to start boiling your eggs. If you want perfect hard boiled eggs (this is for the perfectionists :-)) the secret is to roll the eggs 5 minutes by hand in any direction on a work surface before they are cooked so that the white and the yolk are not up against the membrane inside the shell and won’t stick during the cooking process. After rolling, put a pot of water on the fire along with a pinch of salt and vinegar. The vinegar keeps the egg’s contents from leaking out if the egg when it happens to crack while boiling it. Then follow the following steps: Find a pan big enough to support the amount of eggs you want to boil Carefully place the eggs inside the pan without cracking them Pour cold water inside the pan so that the surface of all eggs are covered with water."

It has been a while since I was taught much about eggs and I do not remember any of my eggs ever floating. If the floating eggs are not bad then why do they float? QUESTION: I sometimes notice that in a batch of six (6) or so chicken eggs that have finished hard-boiling, several will barely float to the surface. All six are known to be average freshness for supermarket supplied eggs. Upon peeling, careful inspection shows no abnormalities. When eaten they taste fine. Any idea what’s going on?"

"text": "\"Egyptian Arabic Most people who visit Egypt have little problems with communications because those working in the tourist sector are usually adept in at least several different languages. Typically, most of them speak some English, and many of them fluently. French is also a traditional language, but so too is German and Italian. Perhaps less common, are the Spanish, Russian, Japanese and Chinese languages, but of course there are specialized guides that are also fluent in most any language, who accompany various tours. Nevertheless, if one escapes the confines of a tour group and ventures out into normal Egyptian neighborhoods, some command of the local language of Egypt is very helpful. Upscale shops, restaurants and other establishments will usually have multilingual personnel, but many common Egyptians one comes into contact with may only have such communication skills. Typically, one may find someone nearby that can translate, but not always. Furthermore, Egyptians are always impressed by foreigners who have made some effort to learn their language, and will go out of their way to accommodate them. The official language of Egypt is Arabic, though with an Egyptian dialect. Today, Arabic ranks as the sixth most common language with an estimated 186 million native speakers."

[ 3] The aim of the Ministry was to organize Egypt 's internal, and external affairs, and was concerned with trade, and commerce. Later, it became the Divan of Foreign Affairs, and was concerned with trade, and citizen's affairs. It continued to function after the Muhammad Ali’s reign, and it was one of the fundamental divans of the state. It was concerned with abolishing slavery, and following up international treaties. During the era of Sa'id Pasha, and Isma'il Pasha, there were some modifications in the Ministry, due to the increasing presence of the Europeans in Egypt. [ 3]Due to the change of rule in Egypt in 1878, the absolute jurisdictions given to rulers were diminished, and the divans were replaced by portfolios. During this period, the foreign portfolio was headed by prominent figures such as Boutros Ghali, who spent the longest period in office from 1894–1910. ["

"text": "Arabic (Egyptian Spoken)By Irene Thompson | Updated July 5, 2016 by Irene Thompson Ahlan wa sahlan! – Welcome Egyptian Arabic, also known as Egyptian Spoken Arabic, Masri, Massry, Normal Egyptian Arabic and Egyptian Colloquial Arabic, is a variety of Arabic which belongs to the Semitic branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family. It is spoken by 56,400,000 people in Egypt ( Ethnologue ). It also serves as a second language in many other countries of the Middle East, e.g., in Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen ( Ethnologue ). The total number of speakers of Egyptian Spoken Arabic is estimated to be upwards of 54 million ( Ethnologue ). Prior to the Arab conquest of Egypt in the 7th century AD, the Egyptians spoke Coptic, a later phase of ancient Egyptian. Following the Arab conquest, there was a prolonged period of time when both Coptic and Arabic were spoken in Egypt. Egyptian Spoken Arabic, as distinct from Classical Arabic and the variety spoken by the Arab invaders, is thought to have developed in the first Islamic capital of Egypt, that is now part of Cairo, the capital of present-day Egypt. With increased influence of Islam and arabization of the country, Egyptian Spoken Arabic slowly replaced Coptic. However, there is evidence that Coptic continued to be spoken until the 17th century AD."

The aims were to regain Western control of the Suez Canal and to remove Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who had just nationalized the canal. [ 19] After the fighting had started, political pressure from the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations led to a withdrawal by the three invaders. The episode humiliated Great Britain and France and strengthened Nasser. [ 20] [21] [22]On 29 October, Israel invaded the Egyptian Sinai. Britain and France issued a joint ultimatum to cease fire, which was ignored. On 5 November, Britain and France landed paratroopers along the Suez Canal. The Egyptian forces were defeated, but they did block the canal to all shipping. It later became clear that the Israeli invasion and the subsequent Anglo-French attack had been planned beforehand by the three countries. The three allies had attained a number of their military objectives, but the canal was now useless."

NATURE'S CORNER · 9 years ago5 3 1 comment There is hardly any pure race in the world. Pharaonic, Jewish, Islamic, Hindu and Christian religions had no prohibition of racial, colour or linguistic mixtures though they had strict rules of keeping their faith \"\"pure\"\". Within the fold of each faith, however, racial and linguistic biases and prejudices may abound as they have all through the ages, with Buddhism, Shintoism and Taoism being exceptions as they do not prohibit their followers from believing in the tents of other religions as well which possibly explains the lack of religious fanaticism among the Far East Asian peoples. It is possibly in the interest of all people in the world to adopt the Far Eastern approach in matters relating to faith and leave each person to follow what he considers best not excluding the best in all faiths. In any case, this would bring to rest all the religious bigotism and terrorism that are engulfing the entire world whether or not we subscribe to such divisive prejudice and violence.

"text": "The kingdom of Kush Despite the Egyptian presence in Upper Nubia, the indigenous culture of the region continued to flourish. This culture was deeply influenced by African peoples in the south and was little changed by the proximity of Egyptian garrisons or the imports of luxury articles by Egyptian traders. Indeed, the Egyptianization of Nubia appears to actually have been enhanced during the decline in Egypt’s political control over Nubia in the Second Intermediate Period ( c. 1630–1540 bce ), when Nubians were employed in large numbers as mercenaries against the Asian Hyksos invaders of Egypt. This experience did more to introduce Egyptian culture, which the mercenaries absorbed while fighting in Egyptian armies, than did the preceding centuries of Egyptian military occupation. Conversely, the presence of these mercenaries in Egypt contributed to the growing African influence within Egyptian culture. The defeat of the Hyksos was the result of a national rising of the Egyptians who, once they had expelled the Hyksos from the Nile valley, turned their energies southward to reestablish the military occupation of Nubia that the Hyksos invasion had disrupted. Under Thutmose I (reigned 1493– c. 1482 bce) the Egyptian conquest of the northern Sudan was completed as far as Kurqus, 50 miles south of Abū Ḥamad, and subsequent Egyptian military expeditions penetrated even farther up the Nile. This third Egyptian occupation was the most complete and the most enduring, for, despite sporadic rebellions against Egyptian control, Nubia was divided into two administrative units: Wawat in the north, with its provincial capital at Aswān, and Kush (also spelled Cush) in the south, with its headquarters at Napata (Marawī). Nubia as a whole was governed by a viceroy, usually a member of the royal entourage, who was responsible to the Egyptian pharaoh. Under him were two deputies, one for Wawat and one for Kush, and a hierarchy of lesser officials."

With an area roughly the size of the United States east of the Mississippi River, it is the largest Arab state in Western Asia by total land area (830,000 square miles) and the second-largest country in the Arab world, after Algeria. Saudi Arabia shares borders to the north with Jordan and Iraq, to the northeast with Kuwait, to the east with Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, to the southeast with Oman and to the south with Yemen. Its large coastline is formed by the Red Sea to the west and the Persian Gulf to the east. Saudi Arabia has a population of roughly 27 million, which includes approximately 8.4 million foreign residents, most of them employed in the lucrative Saudi oil industry. This large number of foreign residents significantly adds to the ethnic and cultural diversity of this proud country, and significantly enhances the number of foreign languages spoken regularly in the country. Languages Spoken in Saudi Arabia: Arabic Pilgrims at Mecca The Arabic language is the official language of Saudi Arabia, and the first language of nearly all native Saudi Arabians. In addition to being the official language in Saudi Arabia, Arabic is also considered the official language of the other 21 countries that, together with Saudi Arabia, make up the Arab League. Arabic is the native language of over 200 million people residing in this vast geographical region, which stretches from Southwest Asia to Northwest Africa.

Keep in mind Egyptian was spoken for thousands of years there is some distinct differences between Upper/ Sahidic (S) and Lower/ Bohairic (B) and some other dialects. When at all possible I have show these differences when I can find documentations for them. I believe it is important to still study Coptic in aiding our understanding on how to pronounce Ancient Egyptian. If one studies the etymology of a word and looks at all the neighboring cultures and their languages around at the time it is possible to reconstruct Egyptian to a certain extent. Although people will always disagree. This etymology page was started by me years ago in hopes of reconstructing some of the words of Ancient Egyptian and has expanded greatly over the years. People have argued ever since Hieroglyphics were cracked on how to pronounced the language and the ignorance seems to be getting worse. There is no debating that Coptic was the last evolutionary step in the Ancient Egyptian language."

"text": "\"Orientation Identification. Egypt is the internationally used name but not the name used by the people of the country. It derives from the Greek Aegyptos, which in turn probably comes from ancient Egyptian words referring to the land ( Hut-ka-ptah, or \"\"house of the essence [ka] of Ptah,\"\" a local god). Western names derive from this, as does the word \"\"Copt\"\" (in Arabic, qibt ). \"\" Copt\"\" can be taken to mean \"\"Egyptian\"\" in general, but now commonly means an Egyptian Christian, technically one belonging to the majority Coptic Church. In Arabic, the name is Misr. This name is older than the Muslim conquest, but is attested to in the Koran. It can refer to either the whole country or the capital city. The name itself is an icon, spoken, written, or sung. The population of Egypt is relatively homogeneous."

It started on the eve of the establishment of the state (May 14, 1948) and continued until January 1949. The war broke out following the rejection of the United Nation's Partition Plan, Resolution 181 of the General Assembly (November 29, 1947), by the Arab states and the Arab Higher Committee. The representatives of the Arab states threatened to use force in order to prevent the implementation of the resolution. Stage 1: November 29, 1947 - March 31, 1948Arab violence erupted the day after the ratification of Resolution 181. Shots were fired on a Jewish bus close to Lod airport, and a general strike declared by the Arab Higher Committee resulted in the setting fire and the plundering of the Jewish commercial district near the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem. There were still 100,000 British troops stationed in Palestine, which were much stronger than both Arab and Israeli forces. Nevertheless, the British policy was not to intervene in the warfare between the two sides, except in order to safeguard the security of British forces and facilities. During this period, Arab military activities consisted of sniping and the hurling of bombs at Jewish transportation along main traffic arteries to isolated Jewish neighborhoods in ethnically mixed cites and at distant settlements. The Hagana, the military arm of the organized Yishuv, (the Jewish community of Palestine) put precedence on defensive means at first, while being careful to restrict itself to acts of retaliation against perpetrators directly responsible for the attacks."

"text": "\"The origins of ancient Egyptian civilization, which many regard as one of the fountainheads of Western culture, cannot be established with certainty. Archaeological evidence suggests that early dwellers in the Nile Valley were influenced by cultures of the Near East, but the degree of this influence is yet to be determined. Describing the development of Egyptian civilization, like attempts to identify its intellectual foundations, is largely a process of conjecture based on archaeological discoveries of enduring ruins, tombs, and monuments, many of which contain invaluable specimens of the ancient culture. Inscriptions in hieroglyphs, for instance, have provided priceless data. The framework for the study of the Dynastic period of Egyptian history, between the 1st dynasty and the Ptolemaic period, relies on the Aegyptiaca of Manetho, a Ptolemaic priest of the 3rd century BC, who organized the country's rulers into 30 dynasties, roughly corresponding to families. General agreement exists on the division of Egyptian history, up to the conquest of Alexander the Great, into Old, Middle, and New kingdoms with intermediate periods, followed by the late and Ptolemaic periods, but chronology and genealogy are continually being refined in light of new evidence and by the use of increasingly sophisticated dating techniques. Some 60,000 years ago the Nile River began its yearly inundation of the land along its banks, leaving behind rich alluvial soil. Areas close to the floodplain became attractive as a source of food and water. In time, climatic changes, including periods of aridity, further served to confine human habitation to the Nile Valley, although this was not always true. From the Chalcolithic period (the Copper age, beginning about 4000 BC) into the early part of the Old Kingdom, people apparently used an extended part of the land."

The four-minute piece was to air on CNN’s Inside Africa, a weekly show that takes pride in showing viewers the ‘real’ Africa in all its diversity, rich heritage, and culture. Unlike other programmes that often focus on poverty and disease when covering the dark continent , this is a show that looks at the success stories of Africans. My producer in Atlanta , Georgia , at the time was Cynthia Nelson, an African-American . She asked me to devote my four- minute piece to whether Egyptians really consider themselves Africans. I hired a camera crew and set out on my mission, thinking I would only prove the obvious: Wasn’t Egypt in North Africa? Therefore, Egyptians are Africans. But it wasn’t simply a matter of geographical location-the issue turned out to be much more complex than that. I did not know it at the time but I was to be most astonished at what I would soon discover. I spent the next couple of days interviewing hundreds of Egyptians– not just academics and researchers but also laymen and women in different districts in Cairo — asking how they view themselves."

While we typically think of benefits as basic insurance coverage, a good benefits plan can include many additional perks that offer true tangible gains in relation to the competition. Following are the 24 most common elements of benefit plans and what you should look for in each element: General Coverage Find out if there are any monthly or per-pay-period costs for the overall benefits plan (which will make an immediate and tangible dent in your take-home pay, although it is usually a pre-tax deduction), who is covered (does it only cover you or does it also cover other family members and future family members), when each component of the benefit actually begins (some will begin the first day of work, some after thirty days, and some after one year of employment), and whether any of the benefits are taxable (life insurance is an example of a benefit that you may end up paying taxes on at the end of the year). If the benefits are provided cafeteria-style (where you can pick and choose which you will enroll in), find out if you can add benefits at a later date and what restrictions would be involved. Medical Insurance Consider the type of plan (Preferred Provider Option, Health Maintenance Organization, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, etc. ), what expenses are covered (HMOs will often pay for preventive care expenses that others will not, etc. ), deductibles (annual deductibles, per-office-visit deductibles, etc. ), co-pays (percentage the insurance pays versus the percentage you will pay), exclusions for pre-existing conditions, and whether or not the plan has open or closed enrollment (including medical exams or other evaluations which may be necessary for enrollment in the plan). Dental Insurance Consider whether preventive care (exams, cleaning, X-rays, etc. ), surgical care (root canals, etc. ),"

You also asked for their policy rationale for such deductions. This report updates our 2008 report on State Income Tax Deductions for Medical Expenses ( 2008-R-0591)SUMMARYA search of the CCH state tax database yielded no states that have a state income tax deduction specifically for payments to nursing homes. But many states have state tax deductions for medical expenses that either match or are based on the federal tax deduction. These deductions include certain nursing home payments. The major policy rationale for state tax deductions for medical expenses appears to be conformity with the federal tax code. For the 2010 tax year, of the 41 states with state income taxes, 35 allowed deductions for medical expenses, including nursing home payments. This number will drop by one for the 2011 tax year. Starting January 1, 2011, Rhode Island eliminated itemized deductions from its state income tax. In 21 of the states with medical expense deductions for 2010, state deductions matched the federal deduction while the remaining 14 state deductions differed from the federal deduction in one or more respects."

In this Section: The benefits of benefits plan The basics: health & dental Life, AD&DLong-term disability Employee Assistance Plans (EAPs)SUB Plans Retirement benefits The benefits of benefits plans Although expensive, there are many intrinsic benefits to providing your employees with a comprehensive benefit plan. For most, it is the ability to find and keep highly qualified staff that is the key driver. With the sector being highly competitive and the number of new employees entering the workforce dwindling, employers are challenged to become even more creative and responsive in the design, timing and generosity of their benefit plans. The more progressive the organization, the more flexible the structure is in response to today’s challenges: i.e. like having four different generations of employees working side by side. Employers who continue to provide the more traditional and limited program, may find it more difficult to find and keep different types of employees. Here are just a few of the advantages of offering benefits to your employees: For employers: By providing increased access and flexibility in employee benefits, employers can not only recruit but retain qualified employees Providing benefits to employees is seen as managing high-risk coverage at low costs and easing the company's financial burden Employee benefits have been proven to improve productivity because employees are more effective with they are assured of security for themselves and their families Premiums are tax deductible as corporation expense, which means savings for the organization For employees: Employees can experience a peace of mind which leads to increased productivity and satisfaction by being assured that they andre their families are protected in any mishap Employees with personal life and disability insurance can enjoy additional protection including income replacement in the event of serious illness or disability Employees can feel a sense of pride in their employer if they are satisfied with the coverage they receive From a benefit perspective, being creative and considering ways to improve the access or quality of your benefits, could look like: Allowing employees to access their benefit as of their hire date Being able to accumulate sick days to bridge to disability coverage Being able to use some sick days as “personal health days” to allow employees to have a break without using all their holidays or pretending to be sick Receiving your birthday off with pay Seeking insurance providers with vision care benefits at reasonable costs, allowing for some increased flexibility in personalizing benefit options; i.e. health spending accounts, vision care versus dental, and more paramedical coverage Although these options have a cost associated with them, the cost is significantly less than the benefit an organization can reap in return. If your insurance provider does not allow you the freedom to make some adjustments in your plan, then it might be time to research what else is available Back to top The basics: health & dental Health and dental benefits are considered the foundation of any benefit program design."

The estate and gift transfer tax systems are \"\"unified,\"\" which means that gifts made during life can affect the amount of tax due upon death (see The Federal Estate Tax System , below). Generally, the tax is imposed on the value of assets transferred, less certain deductions and expenses, and subject to certain credits. Like income taxes, the transfer taxes are graduated, so that larger estates pay taxes at a higher overall rate than smaller estates -- in fact, many smaller estates pay no transfer taxes at all. Estate taxes are paid by the estate, and not the recipient. The Federal Estate Tax System The federal estate tax system begins with the concept of the \"\"gross estate.\"\" Simply put, the gross estate consists of all property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, wherever situated in which the decedent had an interest at the time of his or her death. Aside from the obvious property interests, the gross estate includes the following: (1) Life insurance which the decedent owned, or had any incidences of ownership in; (2) Property in which the decedent retained a life estate; (3) Certain transfers made within three years of death; (4) Transfers effective at death; (5) Annuities; (6) Pension assets (including IRA's); and (7) Property over which the decedent had a general power of appointment at the time of death.

In 1977, the Medicare program was transferred to the newly created Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA). The HCFA is concerned with the development of policies, programs,procedures, and guidance regarding Medicare recipients, the providers of services—such as hospitals, nursing homes, and physicians—and other organizations that are closely related to the Medicare program. Unlike other federal programs, Medicare is not supported by a large, federal organizationalhierarchy.

"text": "The Best Electrolytes For Your Horse Tweet Martin W. Adams, Ph D, PAS - Equine Nutritionist for Southern States Electrolytes are minerals in the horse’s body fluids and tissues that are involved in muscle contraction, thirst regulation, nerve function and maintenance of blood p H. Commercial horse feeds, hay and pasture also contain electrolytes, but horses involved in performance, trail and show events, especially when travel is involved, need additional electrolytes to maintain good health and performance. Horses use sweating as their major means of evaporative cooling due to the effects of hot weather and exercise. Electrolytes are needed to replace the minerals lost from sweat and to increase the thirst response due to water loss. There must be sufficient water and minerals in the horse’s body to allow sweating to occur at the proper rate and amount to keep the horse’s body temperature regulated. Heat stress from dehydration reduces muscular performance, and can result in heat stroke or exhaustion, which can be fatal. Also, sweat and urine losses can be great enough due to exercise, heat and stress to result in impaction colic. Depletion of electrolytes in the horse interferes with muscle contraction and causes fatigue or poor performance, and severe loss of potassium results in symptoms similar to tying up disease. Electrolyte deficiency can produce nerve irritability that causes synchronous diaphragmatic flutter or “thumps”, a condition where the diaphragm contracts in rhythm with the beating of the heart. Lack of electrolytes and/or dehydration is also responsible for an exercise-related syndrome that causes reduced intestinal motility (a common reason why endurance horses are pulled from competitive rides at vet checks). Horse sweat contains the electrolytes chloride, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and a few other trace minerals."

When these ritual sounds and senses of the day go missing, there is a sense of dread. Your horse isn't interested in coming in for dinner.

A leg cramp is a prolonged, involuntary muscle spasm, most commonly involving your calf. Although certain medical conditions and medications may cause leg cramps, they usually occur during or following exercise. Previously thought to be due to electrolyte depletion, experimental evidence supports the prevailing theory that charley horses develop primarily due to a transient nerve imbalance of the leg muscles. Simple physical measures typically alleviate leg cramps within seconds to minutes. Preventive strategies reduce the frequency of legs cramps if you are prone to these painful spasms.credit: Jupiterimages/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images A leg cramp during exercise can be painful. Interrupt an Ongoing Cramp Step 1Stop all physical activity if a charley horse develops during physical exertion. Because fatigue provokes leg cramps, resting helps the muscle relax and release the involuntary contraction. Step 2If you have a leg cramp in your calf, stretch the muscle by standing on both feet with bent knees. If pain prevents you from standing, sit in a safe location and bend your ankle toward your shin, raising your foot toward your kneecap."

A leg cramp, known colloquially as a “charley horse,” occurs when a muscle in your leg contracts and doesn’t immediately relax. These muscle spasms can be incredibly painful and difficult to soothe. If you’re prone to charley horses, learn what causes them, how can you prevent them from happening, and what can you do about them once they start. Leg cramps most often occur when muscles are injured or strained. They are more likely to occur if you allow yourself to become dehydrated, or are deficient in minerals such as calcium and potassium.

"text": "Function and Health of the Horse’s Cecum and Large Intestine February 7, 2012 By Dr. Kathleen Crandell Print Print Email Email Facebook Twitter The horse’s digestive system is made up of several organs, each of which provides an important function in digesting and utilizing the nutrients that are in the feed and forage ingested by the horse. Anything the horse eats goes first to the stomach and then to the small intestine. Material not digested in the small intestine passes through the ileo-cecal orifice into the cecum and then to the large intestine. The cecum and large intestine (hindgut) house billions of bacteria and protozoa that enable the digestion of cellulose and other fibrous fractions of the feed. From microbial fermentation of feeds, the horse is able to derive energy and other nutrients. Energy is constantly available to the horse in the form of volatile fatty acids from this soup of microbes and fiber found in the hindgut. Additionally, these hindgut microbes synthesize B vitamins and vitamin K, which are available to the horse to help meet its requirements for these nutrients under normal circumstances. A significant amount of microbial protein is also synthesized in the horse’s hindgut. The health and vitality of these essential microbes is dependent on the proper acidity or p H of this part of the intestinal tract. Large fluctuations in the p H can cause changes in the population of microbes, which can ultimately interfere with nutrient utilization in the horse."

Foundering is an extremely painful condition and should NEVER be taken lightly. About Laminitis/Founder... There are several potential causes of laminitis: Any major infection such as a retained placenta Some medications Any injury which causes constant weight-bearing on the other ‘good’ limb Standing on poisonous substances Gorging on grain from the feed bin Fructans in cool season grasses like rye-grass The sort of laminitis we are talking about here is that which is most common, especially in spring and autumn, and is caused by the mineral imbalances inherent in the grass the horse is consuming, referred to here as ‘ Grass-Induced laminitis ’. Sugars & Mineral Imbalances If we confine our thinking to the sugar content of the forage alone as a cause of metabolic syndrome and laminitis then there is no explanation for why horses (& ponies) on very well managed, low carbohydrate diets still get laminitis. On inspection of their living area the short, green grass is visible. Nibbling around on these tips of fresh spring or autumn growth or the tips of any grass after rain will bring on an attack of laminitis in susceptible animals. If they do not have access to any green grass at all they do not get the bouts of laminitis from this particular cause.

Whilst exercise alone will not prevent laminitis happening to susceptible horses and ponies eating the ‘wrong grass’, the right diet and pasture management will, without any exercise.

That twitching sensation is common. The sensation is caused by your thigh muscles involuntarily contracting because they can't relax. There are a several potential reasons why this may be happening. The good news is that you can take preventative steps or relieve that annoying feeling when it occurs. Magnesium Twitching in your thighs right after a workout can be caused by a lack of magnesium. Magnesium is an important electrolyte in your body that regulates muscle contraction and relaxation. If you don't have enough of it, the muscles in your thighs can start contracting excessively, causing twitching or cramping. If the twitching continues after you workout, drink or eat something that will quickly restore your electrolyte balance. Sunflower, flax and pumpkin seeds are all rich in magnesium, and a small handful goes a long way toward restoring your electrolyte balance."

An overload of processed and refined sweetener (in the case of sports drinks, high-fructose corn syrup) is never a good thing. And while artificial flavors and colors don’t technically do much to your health, a part of me just shies away from the idea of ingesting things that are “fake. ”We’ve been led to believe by certain companies that we need an extra-special drink to recover from some sweat. First of all, there is a huge difference between athletes that work out hardcore for hours, and those dedicated to fifteen minute morning workout routines. Secondly, our bodies are smart, staying well hydrated and eating healthy is usually enough to maintain a balance of electrolytes.

We don’t have a threshold amount of how much is allowed versus how much isn’t, nor can we test blood or urine samples for an “illegal” amount of tryptophan. It is, nevertheless, prohibited, and just not worth using it AT A RIDE. If you wanted to use it up at home, or prior to loading into the trailer before traveling to a ride, or after you’ve vetted out and just want to help the horse recover, fine.

Too often in the past, I’ve seen horses that don’t drink much water have bouts with colic and mild digestive upset. No matter what you do with your horses, it’s important to make sure they have regular and constant access to fresh clean water—especially those that are finicky, like my horse Dually. Necessity of Water No matter what you do with your horses, water must be a first priority. When I led out big pack trips through the Rocky Mountains, we had to make sure to take trails that bordered streams and that the horses were allowed to drink each time we crossed a stream. The experienced and wise trail horse drinks at every opportunity because he doesn’t know when the next opportunity will come. When we take our horses on the road, I make sure they have water breaks if they are in the trailer more than a few hours; and we carry water from home, just to make sure it is familiar and tempting. When horses are at home in the pasture, I make sure that everyone knows what gates should stay open so that horses can get to the water tanks. Horses need regular access to water."

"text": "Submitted by Equi Med Staff on Thu, 04/23/2009 - 7:21pm Also Known As Diarrhea, Loose, watery manure Description Diarrhea in adult horses can be acute or chronic. Evidenced by an increase in the amount and consistency of manure expelled, diarrhea may develop when the horse eats contaminated, unfamiliar, or inappropriate feed, or may be due to infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or diseases of the colon. Any horse with diarrhea should be seen by a veterinarian who can detect the source, quickly treat dehydration and electrolyte imbalances, and prescribe remedies. Chronic diarrhea requires special care because it may be caused by diseases of the intestine, such as cancer, or by deficiencies in the intestinal tract that make it impossible for the horse to absorb nutrients. Symptoms Loose, watery manure with an increase in frequency of movement and volume Manure that is dark in color, explosive, foul-smelling, bloody, or blood-tinged Loss of weight in chronic cases Listlessness and obvious discomfort In foals, unsightly hair loss around the tail Causes Diarrhea can develop as a result of a number of factors, including eating contaminated or unfamiliar feed, overeating grain, ingesting sand or dirt, infection by bacteria or viruses, diseases of the colon, poisoning from plants, arsenic or phosphorus poisoning, parasites, and Potomac horse fever. Shipping or transporting the horse, changing the deworming routine, or treatment with certain antibiotics can also cause diarrhea. Prevention The best prevention is the elimination of possible causes of diarrhea from the horse's environment and activities. Isolating horses with diarrhea to prevent spread of the disease and thoroughly cleaning premises and equipment with a formaldehyde disinfectant should help keep the disease in check. Treatment Treatment depends on the cause of the diarrhea. A veterinarian should be called in to do testing and cultures, which might include a fecal examination with special attention to a salmonella culture, testing for Clostridium difficile toxin, a swirl test for sand or the presence of strongyle eggs, peritoneal fluid analysis, and any other tests recommended under the specific circumstances."

These electrolytes are involved in a variety of basic cell functions, including muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission. Loss of electrolytes and electrolyte imbalances have far-reaching consequences, impacting virtually every equine body system. The average horse needs to drink 27-30 liters of water per day. In hot climates or during strenuous exercise, as many as 10-12 liters of water can be lost per hour through sweat alone. Loss of water during exercise and sweating is hypothesized to increase the osmolality of the blood, making horses want to drink to replenish lost fluids.

This arthritic condition affects the pastern joint or occasionally the coffin joint. These are known respectively as high ringbone and low ringbone. Horses with high ringbone may have a good prognosis because the pastern joint is a low-motion joint. When the coffin joint is involved, the prognosis is much more guarded, as this is a high-motion joint. The arthritic changes involved in the more common high ringbone can be seen as a bony enlargement around the pastern joint just above the coronary band at the top of the hoof. Though inflammation from arthritis can begin at any age, this ring usually can’t be seen or felt until the horse is 12 to 15 years old. The cause of ringbone is joint wear and tear. Performance horses that repeatedly impact or stress the pastern joint and its surrounding soft tissues are at risk for ringbone. This includes jumpers and hunters, parade or carriage horses that work on hard surfaces, barrel racers and polo horses that create torque as they turn sharply, and even dressage horses that deeply flex their joints as they perform."

Good hydration is vital to optimal health and performance. With all of the bad things that can happen if a horse doesn’t drink properly, it’s no wonder horse owners, myself included, get anxious about making sure their horse is consuming adequate amounts of H2O, particularly when we are away from home. So what is a horse owner to do in these cases? The old adage which says ‘you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink’ may be true. However, with a little preparation before heading out to hit the trails or this year’s show circuit, most horses can be trained to drink. Providing free choice access to salt, bringing along water from home, using electrolytes, and doing things like soaking feed can all help, and training your horse to drink is one more tool you can add to your box of tricks. Supplies are cheap and easy to obtain. I like to use the smaller 8qt buckets – they are easier to hold, especially if watering in a trailer. To begin, I wanted my gelding to associate the small “water” bucket with a yummy treat."

Clinical signs include sweating, stiffness and reluctance to move forward. Tying up is not a single disease, but a collection of clinical signs that may have different causes in different in each horse. Specific causes for tying up have recently been identified and more are on the research horizon. Sporadic tying up is seen in horses that have always exercised normally, but suddenly exhibit signs of tying up. It can be due to; exercise in excess of training level: exhaustive exercise: respiratory infections: lack of dietary selenium/vitamin E or lack of dietary electrolytes and minerals. These horses usually recover with rest, adjustment of the diet treatment, gradual return to exercise and go on to perform successfully. Other horses have a chronic form of tying up from a very young age with continual problems even when exercised lightly. This syndrome has been described in many breeds and can have different causes."

It can result from a variety of disorders including, but not limited to, renal failure. Uremia is the term for the clinical syndrome of renal failure with azotemia and multisystemic problems such as polyuria, polydipsia, vomiting, weight loss, depression, and other sequelae of inadequate renal function (alterations in electrolyte and acid-base balance and water homeostasis). Azotemia can be due to prerenal, renal or post-renal causes. Differentiation of the causes of azotemia requires urinalysis (especially assessment of urine specific gravity), evaluation of clinical signs and results of other diagnostic tests (e.g. radiographic evidence of urinary tract obstruction). Remember that the kidney is essential to acid-base and electrolyte homeostasis. Any cause of azotemia will result in retention of organic acids normally excreted by the kidney (i.e. a high anion gap metabolic acidosis) and hyperphosphatemia. Prerenal azotemia Prerenal azotemia is due to a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from circulatory disturbances causing decreased renal perfusion (hypovolemia, cardiac disease, renal vasoconstriction). Prerenal azotemia can usually be distinguished from renal azotemia by clinical signs (evidence of dehydration or hypovolemia), urinalysis (urine should be “adequately” concentrated i.e. > 1.030 in the dog, > 1.035 in the cat, > 1.025 in large animals; with no evidence of renal tubule dysfunction such as proteinuria, cylindriuria) and response to therapy. Urine specific gravity may be decreased (despite a prerenal azotemia) if there are other factors reducing concentrating ability (see urine specific gravity )."

"text": "If you're getting your gear together and packing up your trailer for a fun trail-riding adventure with your trusty steed, you may be wondering how much ground is safe to cover on each day of your adventure. You will need to consider several factors when making your riding plans -- terrain, overall fitness of all the horses in the group, weather conditions and pacing are all important factors. Picking the Pace The total distance covered by a horse in a day will be determined largely by the pace that you set for the ride. A horse's speed depends on gait: Walk: 4 mph Trot 8 to 12 mph Canter 12 to 15 mph Gallop 25 to 30 mph A typical horse may be comfortable walking for eight hours, meaning he could cover 32 miles in that time. Many weekend-warrior riders can't stand eight hours in the saddle, though. A more fit horse may cover more distance if he is able to trot or canter for part of the time. Terrain and Footing It is important to consider the terrain your horse will be navigating when determining how far to ride each day. Navigating up or down steep hills is more taxing on your horse's limbs and cardiovascular system than travel on even ground. If the terrain is hard or rocky, the concussion on your horse's hooves and joints will be more pronounced, so you will want to reduce the distance you travel on that terrain and slow your pace. Very deep mud or sand is more stressful on the tendons and ligaments of your horse's legs than firm footing, so take care under those conditions."

Imagine you and your friend holding opposite ends of a slinky. If you quickly move your arm up and down, a single pulse will travel down the slinky toward your friend. If, instead, you generate several pulses at regular time intervals, you now have a wave carrying energy down the slinky. A wave, therefore is a repeated disturbance which carries energy. The mass of the slinky doesn't move from end of the slinky to the other, but the energy it carries does. When a pulse or wave reaches a hard boundary, it reflects off the boundary, and is inverted. If a pulse or wave reaches a soft, or flexible, boundary, it still reflects off the boundary, but does not invert.

Categories of Waves Waves come in many shapes and forms. While all waves share some basic characteristic properties and behaviors, some waves can be distinguished from others based on some observable (and some non-observable) characteristics. It is common to categorize waves based on these distinguishing characteristics. Longitudinal versus Transverse Waves versus Surface Waves One way to categorize waves is on the basis of the direction of movement of the individual particles of the medium relative to the direction that the waves travel. Categorizing waves on this basis leads to three notable categories: transverse waves, longitudinal waves, and surface waves. A transverse wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction that the wave moves. Suppose that a slinky is stretched out in a horizontal direction across the classroom and that a pulse is introduced into the slinky on the left end by vibrating the first coil up and down. Energy will begin to be transported through the slinky from left to right. As the energy is transported from left to right, the individual coils of the medium will be displaced upwards and downwards."

"text": "Physics Waves Types of Waves Transverse Waves Transverse Waves The waves are the disturbance through medium. This movement takes place continues and in periodical pattern or in a cyclical pattern. There are different types of waves that are mechanical waves and non-mechanical waves. The mechanical waves are defined as the waves which are needed any type of medium for propagation while the non-mechanical waves do not require any medium for propagation. The propagation of waves takes place because of elasticity and inertia property of medium. The energy of mechanical wave is the energy through which the disturbance takes place with definite velocity while momentum takes place by the movement of particles of medium. The mechanical waves are classified in two categories that are; Transverse waves and Longitudinal Waves. Here we are discussing about the transverse waves, their examples, and their properties. The most important thing about these waves is that the propagation of the wave is perpendicular to disturbance of the medium; for example, the waves on a string. There propagation cannot possible in a gas or a liquid because it does not possess driving motion perpendicular to the wave."

Light, heat, radio, and similar types of energy are carried by a variety of waves in the ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM. Some energy waves need a medium, such as water or air, through which to travel. The medium moves back and forth as waves carry energy through it, but it does not actually travel along with the wave. Suppose you fix a slinky spring at one end and push the other end back and forth. Some parts of the spring, called compressions, are squeezed together.

When we think of the word \"\"wave\"\" we usually picture someone moving their hand back and forth to say hello or maybe we think of a curling wall of water moving in from the ocean to crash on the beach. In physics, a wave is a disturbance that travels through space and matter transferring energy from one place to another. When studying waves it's important to remember that they transfer energy, not matter. Waves in Everyday Life There are lots of waves all around us in everyday life. Sound is a type of wave that moves through matter and then vibrates our eardrums so we can hear. Light is a special kind of wave that is made up of photons. You can drop a rock into a pond and see waves form in the water. We even use waves (microwaves) to cook our food really fast. Types of Waves Waves can be divided into various categories depending on their characteristics."

( November 2009) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A transverse mode of electromagnetic radiation is a particular electromagnetic field pattern of radiation measured in a plane perpendicular (i.e., transverse) to the propagation direction of the beam. Transverse modes occur in radio waves and microwaves confined to a waveguide, and also in light waves in an optical fiber and in a laser 's optical resonator. [ 1]Transverse modes occur because of boundary conditions imposed on the wave by the waveguide. For example, a radio wave in a hollow metal waveguide must have zero tangential electric field amplitude at the walls of the waveguide, so the transverse pattern of the electric field of waves is restricted to those that fit between the walls. For this reason, the modes supported by a waveguide are quantized. The allowed modes can be found by solving Maxwell's equations for the boundary conditions of a given waveguide.

Different types of wave with varying rectifications In physics, a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space, with little or no associated mass transport. Waves consist, instead, of oscillations or vibrations of a physical medium or a field, around relatively fixed locations. There are two main types of waves: mechanical and electromagnetic. Mechanical waves propagate through a physical matter, whose substance is being deformed. Restoring forces then reverse the deformation. For example, sound waves propagate via air molecules colliding with their neighbors. When the molecules collide, they also bounce away from each other (a restoring force)."

It can be Sound waves, string waves, radio waves, visible light waves, water waves, microwaves, sine waves, stadium waves, earthquake waves, cosine waves, and slinky waves are some examples in our daily encounters. All waves are generated through disturbance; for example, when a rock is thrown in water or a boat is moved through water. These water waves have mainly two parts that are called crest and trough through which the wave is travelled from one location to other location. Each crest is followed by second crest which is again followed by next crest. These crests are separated by a trough to generate a pattern of crests and troughs. In physics, waves are defined as periodical disturbance which are propagated through a particular medium. Different Types Back to Top Waves can be classified into three types: Mechanical Electromagnetic Matter Mechanical Waves act as the propagation of a disturbance through a material medium due to the repeated periodic motion of the particles of the medium about their mean positions, the disturbance being handed over from one particle to the next. Electromagnetic Waves are the disturbance, which does not require any material medium for its propagation and can travel even through vacuum. They are caused due to varying electric and magnetic fields."

Let us have a brief review on wave and its characteristics. Wave motion is a process of transferring energy in a medium in the form of disturbance due to repeated periodic motion of the particle in the mean about their mean position in which the energy is handed over from one particle to other particle by leaving their mean positions. A mechanical wave is a periodic disturbance which can be produced only in a material medium and its transfer of energy from one point to other without there being a direct contact between the two points. The two different types of mechanical waves are transverse and longitudinal waves. Transverse Electromagnetic Waves Back to Top Electromagnetic waves characteristics are similar to transverse waves. If the particles at a medium vibrate at right angles to the direction of the propagation of the energy then that wave is called as transverse wave. Such waves are produced on the surface of water, in musical instruments. If the stretched strings, the energy the energy travels outwards and the particle of the medium vibrates up and down.

"text": "Physics Waves Waves A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Consider this example the first thought concerning waves invokes up a picture of a wave moving across the surface of an ocean, lake, pond or other body of water. When a pebble is thrown in a pond, it creates a disturbance and forms ripples which travel together as a front in a straight-line direction, or the waves may be circular waves that originate from the point where the disturbances occurs in the pond. The wave is defined as the energy transferred through medium with regular vibration or oscillating motion. A few examples of waves are: water wave, light wave, electromagnetic wave, sound wave, seismic wave (earthquakes). The waves are classified mainly two types that are longitudinal wave and transverse waves. The sound waves are good example of longitudinal wave which is travelled medium with the use of force. This force is exerted between molecules of the medium. The electromagnetic radiations are transverse waves which also include the light waves. These waves show displacement in the perpendicular direction of the field intensity vector."

"text": "Transverse Waves and Longitudinal Waves There are two major kinds of waves: transverse waves and longitudinal waves. The medium transmitting transverse waves oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. A good example is waves on water: the water oscillates up and down while transmitting a wave horizontally. Other common examples include a wave on a string and electromagnetic waves. By contrast, the medium transmitting longitudinal waves oscillates in a direction parallel to the direction the wave is traveling. The most commonly discussed form of longitudinal waves is sound. Transverse Waves: Waves on a String Imagine—or better yet, go grab some twine and set up—a length of string stretched between two posts so that it is taut. Each point on the string is just like a mass on a spring: its equilibrium position lies on the straight line between the two posts, and if it is plucked away from its resting position, the string will exert a force to restore its equilibrium position, causing periodic oscillations. A string is more complicated than a simple mass on a spring, however, since the oscillation of each point influences nearby points along the string. Plucking a string at one end causes periodic vibrations that eventually travel down the whole length of the string."

Only then will we examine the many challenges scientists faced in developing the current atomic model: false starts, wrong theories, right roads not taken, incomplete models. In addition, we will explore the many insights added along the way as, piece by piece, the evidence concerning atomic behavior began to accumulate.

While it is true that physicists study atomic structure, and that much of what scientists know today about atoms comes from the work of physicists, atomic studies are even more integral to chemistry than to physics.

No portion of this document may be reproduced in any form without written permission of the author. Purpose The purpose of the Nuclear Gravitation Field Theory is to demonstrate that the Strong Nuclear Force and gravity are one and the same using Quantum Mechanics, Newton’s Law of Gravity, and Einstein’s General Relativity Theory. Ground Rules If the Strong Nuclear Force is Gravity, then the Nuclear Gravitation Field must initially be a stronger field of attraction than the Coulombic repulsive field of the Nuclear Electric Field tending to repel Protons from the Nucleus. If the Strong Nuclear Force is Gravity, then the Nuclear Gravitation Field should propagate in all directions outward from the Nucleus of the Atom to infinity. If the Strong Nuclear Force is Gravity and the Classical Physics shape of the Nucleus forms a near perfect sphere, then the Nuclear Gravitation Field should propagate outward from the Nucleus omnidirectional with spherical symmetry to infinity. In this case, the Nuclear Gravitation Field intensity should drop off as a function of 1/r 2 in like manner to Newton’s Law of Gravity where r is the distance from the center of the Nucleus to the center of the Proton or Neutron being evaluated. The first equation mathematically defines Newton’s Law of Gravity where F is the gravitational force of attraction between spherical mass M 1 and spherical mass M 2, G is the Universal Gravitation Constant, and r is the distance between the center of mass M 1 and center of mass M 2 . The second and third equations evaluate the acceleration field a M1 equal to the gravitational field g M1 of mass M 1 acting upon mass M 2."

"text": "Home → Atomic Number and Mass Number ATOMIC NUMBER AND MASS NUMBERATOMIC NUMBERThe atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of its atom. The atomic number is also known as proton number of the element. Further, in an atom, number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Hence, atomic number is also equal to the number of electrons in an atom of the element. Thus,Atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of its atom or the number of extra nuclear electrons. Atomic number is denoted by the letter z. Atomic Number (Z) = Number of protons =Number of electrons For example, an atom of magnesium contains 12 protons, therefore, its atomic number is 12. All the atoms of a particular element contain same number of protons in their nuclei. Therefore, all the atoms of an element have same atomic number. Atoms of different elements contain different number of protons and hence no two elements can have same atomic number. Thus, each element has its characteristic atomic number which can be used to identify the element."

Atomic number is the number of protons (positively charged particles) in the nucleus of an atom. It's value is a whole number (an integer). Atom number uniquely defines the element. It defines the chemical properties because it defines the quantity of the two chemically reactive 'particles', the protons, and the matching number of electrons. The atomic mass is the weight of an atom. Electrons are so light that the mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons (uncharged particles) in the nucleus of the atom. It is possible to have two atoms of the same element with different atomic masses."

Different atoms have different numbers of protons, neutrons, and electrons in their makeup. In a chemical change, atoms do not break up but act as individual units. The chemical behavior of an atom is controlled by the number and spatial arrangement of electrons in orbit around thenucleus. The atoms of radioactive elements are very unstable and are capable of emitting nuclearparticles in a stream or “ray;” these particles are called radiations.

Laws address the fact that certain things happen, as well as how they happen. A theory, on the other hand, attempts to explain why things happen. By definition, an idea that is dubbed a theory has yet to be fully proven, and such is the case with the atomic theory of matter. After all, the atom cannot be seen, even with electron microscopes — yet its behavior can be studied in terms of its effects. Atomic theory explains a great deal about the universe, including the relationship between chemical elements, and therefore (as with Darwin's theory concerning biological evolution), it is generally accepted as fact. The particulars of this theory, including the means by which it evolved over the centuries, are as dramatic as any detective story. Nonetheless, much still remains to be explained about the atom — particularly with regard to the smallest items it contains. HOW IT WORKSWhy Study Atoms?"

Tusk is the two big long teeth on an elephants face. They are longer in size and about one third of the tusk is hidden inside the elephants skull. Both male and female have the tusks, the longest tusk ever recorded was 138 inches long and it weighed 314 pounds which made it the heaviest tusk of the elephant. Tusks differ in shape, size and length thus researchers can use them to identify the individual. These bulky mammals use their bulky teeth (tusks) for their defense and feeding. Elephants tusks are mostly dangerous for them because it is their tusk which led to their senseless slaughter by hunters. Tusk is expensive and when Asian Elephants became endangered their hunt was strongly condemned and the trade of tusks was declared illegal.

What’s the difference? Aren’t they just furry Elephants? What sets them a part? Aren’t they the same thing? So to answer these questions, I will explain the differences._________________________________________________________________________________There is a number of different Mammoths and Mastodon species that diverged from the Asian Elephant after the latter group split up from the African Elephant. They are all mammals, and belong to a species called Proboscideans. From the Mastodon, two Asian and African Elephants evolved. Probably the most popular species of the four would be the Woolly Mammoth, or mammuthus primigenius, this is because of their broad geographic distribution, adaption to cold environments, and relative advances during the last ice age."

Some animals, particularly carnivores, also use teeth for hunting or for defensive purposes. The roots of teeth are covered by gums. Teeth are not made of bone, but rather of multiple tissues of varying density and hardness. The cellular tissues that ultimately become teeth originate from the embryonic germ layer, the ectoderm. The general structure of teeth is similar across the vertebrates, although there is considerable variation in their form and position. The teeth of mammals have deep roots, and this pattern is also found in some fish, and in crocodilians."

"text": "\"Some mammal species are endowed with tusks -- oversized teeth that grow to conspicuous lengths. Tusks are made out of a durable, easy-to-carve type of dentine called ivory. Tusks serve a variety of functions, including self-defense, competition with members of the same species, food gathering and even locomotion. To protect species heavily hunted for their tusks, the 1990 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species made ivory trading illegal. Elephant A pair of ever-growing tusks helps elephants dig for water during droughts, scrape bark off trees for food and defend themselves against predators and other elephants. Despite their usefulness, the tusks -- which, in the elephant's case, are overgrown incisor teeth -- make the planet's largest terrestrial creature attractive to poachers, who covet their ivory due to its high commercial value. Both female and male African elephants have tusks. In Asian elephants, most males possess tusks, while those of females are much smaller or nonexistent. Walrus The Arctic-dwelling walrus belongs to a group of aquatic mammals known as pinnipeds, meaning \"\"flipper-footed.\"\" Walruses may weigh up to 1.5 tons and are the only pinnipeds with a pair of straight, downward-facing tusks that grow continuously throughout the animals' lives."

Teeth are important things, without them eating becomes a lot more difficult. In mammals teeth have reached their highest peak of evolution, mammalian teeth are both more complicated and more efficient than in other vertebrates. Teeth are heavy and require considerable muscle to operate efficiently, this has made an important contribution to the evolution of the mammal skull. Mammals are heterodonts, this means some of our teeth are different. In fishes and reptiles the teeth are all basically the same, some bigger than others but the same basic shape."

"text": "Stomping Around the Sump: Miocene Pygmy Gomphothere from Esmeralda County, Nevada Fabian C. Hardy* and Joshua Bonde University of Nevada Las Vegas ABSTRACT Here we describe an individual gomphothere specimen recovered from Esmer- alda County, Nevada. It was recovered from an area known as “The Sump,” just 18 miles north of Dyer, NV, currently dominated by badland topography. Remnants of a paleo-forest are visible in the highlands of the site, while the central basin exposes mudrocks and sandstones, interingered in places by several chalky, volcaniclastic layers. The sediments denote a past marsh environment, an ideal feeding ground for browsers of C3 plant material, such as trees and shrubs. A slot canyon feeds the in- active channel where the discovery was made. Sedimentary units of the Esmeralda Formation in the vicinity of the north end of Fish Lake Valley have previously been interpreted as Miocene (Claredonian North American Land Mammal Age). The Gomphotheriidae were a family of proboscideans, widespread throughout the late Cenozoic era. Gomphotheres radiated throughout North America during the Miocene epoch, and diversiied throughout the continent until their extinction in the late Pleistocene. Several species were participants in the Great American Biotic Inter- change, but only three have been recorded from South America. Gomphotheres likely illed the niche of a dominant megafaunal browser, as their dentition and body morphology suggest that they were opportunistic feeders with a preference for C3 browse."

A curse because man’s avarice for ivory has led to the senseless slaughter of hundreds of thousands of the magnificent animals. One of the key differences between African and Asian elephants is the tusks. All African elephants, male and female, have tusks whereas only some Asian males have tusks. About 50% of Asian females have short tusks known as tushes – which have no pulp inside. What is a tusk? Usually in mammals tusks are enlarged canine teeth, but in elephants they are actually elongated incisors and are essentially no different from other teeth. One third of the tusk is actually hidden from view, embedded deep in the elephant’s head. This part of the tusk is a pulp cavity made up of tissue, blood and nerves."

Origins Mammuthus primigenius is a close relative to modern day elephants and one of the several genera in the order Proboscida that are extinct today (Haynes 1991). These large and strong creatures disappeared from the face of the earth about 10,000 years ago (excluding the dwarfs found on Wrangler Island), placing their extinction in the late Pleistocene (Haynes 1991). Mammoths were widespread throughout the world; evidence suggests that they lived in northern Asia, North America, parts of Mexico, and Europe, with the remains of a baby mammoth found in Siberia (Haynes 1991). Mammoths first appeared in sub-Saharan Africa during the middle Pliocene epoch (3 - 4 mya). By the end of the Pliocene and the beginning of the Pleistocene they were extinct in Africa and widespread in Eurasia (Haynes 1991). Some species of mammoths lived in southern regions and became progressively cold-adapted as they moved northward into Eurasia. They eventually moved eastward and southward into North America about 1.7 mya (Early Pleistocene)."

There are many differences to identify those two as what they really were. Using the fossil records of mammoths and mastodons, scientists have discovered some significant differences between them, and this article aims to emphasize the most interesting of those findings. Mammoth Mammoth was an enormously built mammal belonged to the extinct genus Mammuthus. Fossil evidences show their close relationship to the modern elephants. One of the most interesting feature of mammoths was their long tusks with a characteristic curve. The length of their tusks was as same as their height, 3 – 5 metres tall. They were massive and largely built animals with an average estimated weight between five and ten tons. Their head was the highest point of the body, in fossils it almost looks like an erected and distinct skull. They were also living in herds as the modern elephants, and those were female matriarchal herds."

Over time it has been sculpted into art objects and used in decorative jewelry. It has even been used as cures for disease. What Is Ivory? All ivory comes from the teeth of mammals. Mammal teeth have three layers. The outer layer is made of hard enamel. The middle layer consists of a softer material called dentin. The inner layer is made of nerves and blood vessels that feed the tooth."

"text": "\"elephant Facts Portrait of an African Elephant Averaging 10 feet tall and 12,000 pounds the elephant is the largest animal on land. There are 2 species and 6 sub-species spread across the warm forests and savannas of Asia and Africa. The Sumatran elephant, the smallest sub-species, may only stand 6 feet at the shoulder when mature, but the massive bush elephant of Africa has been known to reach 13 feet tall. Elephants live in herds of 6 to 30 individuals that may join up occasionally with any of several other herds within the master social structure known as a clan. There may be up to 400 elephants within the clan, and it is believed that elephants may recognize and have different relationships with all of their fellow members. Females stay with the same herd usually for their entire lives, only occasionally branching off to form a new herd. Young males live with the herd until 8 to 10 years of age after which they may wander about in small groups of males for several years, but eventually live solitary lives, only joining up with herds for a few days a year to mate with available females. Although elephants have been used as beasts of burden in Asia for thousands of years, the Asian elephant is not a domestic animal. Elephants are captured from the wild when they are young adults and trained through ancient techniques by elephant handlers called \"\"mahouts\"\". The means with which they control and train wild-caught elephants is unpleasant at best, and includes the use of large steel hooks called ankusas, long poles, ropes and chains."

"text": "\"Technically, all animals with teeth have ivory, which is composed of a creamy white substance called dentin that makes up the bulk of teeth. However, some animals have particularly large teeth or tusks that lend themselves to harvesting, such as elephants, hippopotami, and whales. Ivory from these animals has been used for centuries in decorative art, and in the manufacture of objects such as pianos and billiard balls. Concerns about declining populations of elephants in particular have led to restrictions on the global trade, and many craftspeople are starting to seek out alternatives such as high quality plastics or tagua, also known as vegetable ivory. The term has been used in English for almost 1,000 years, and originates from several African words meaning “elephant.” This suggests that elephants have been the primary source throughout European history, and given the formerly large populations of elephants in Asia as well, it is probable that India, Japan, and China also got their ivory from elephants. In North America, scrimshaw artisans got their material from walruses and whales. Ivory is ideal for decorative art because it is hard, close grained, and takes to carving and dyes well. Sources can be shaved to make inlays or carved whole into elaborate sculptures and art pieces, as well as practical goods. It has been used in traditional art in numerous cultures, and thanks to its durability, many specimens survive, providing clues into the art and culture of other civilizations."

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."

He moves through the bush with amazing speed for his size and can be extremely quiet. While his eyesight is relatively poor, his hearing is very good and his sense of smell is without equal. Over his lifetime, he receives 6 sets of molars, which move forward in his jaw as previous sets wear down. His last set of teeth comes in at about 47 years of age and once these wear out he can only look forward to slow starvation. Thus, depending on his diet, his lifespan is somewhere between 50 and 70 years. He is a destructive feeder, preferring grass and, rather than adapting to his habitat, he adapts his habitat to suit his purpose."

Elephants Are Taking Early Retirement to Florida By CHRISTINE HAUSER JAN. 11, 2016Elephants with the Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey circus exercised near Madison Square Garden in 2003. Richard Perry/The New York Times The days of lumbering elephants performing under big-top tents are coming to an end sooner than planned. Feld Entertainment, the parent company of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus, said in a statement on Monday that it was phasing out its Asian elephants and moving the creatures from their traveling circuses to a conservation center in Florida in May, a year and a half sooner than anticipated. The move would bring to 40 the number of elephants at the center, the company said. The cost of caring for the 11 touring elephants is about $65,000 a year, and Feld Entertainment said it wants to use that money to focus on conservation and pediatric cancer research instead. This is a switch from last March, when the company had said it would phase out its touring elephant units, which perform 1,000 shows a year, by 2018. The announcement on Monday came after decades of claims by animal rights activists that the circus treated the giant creatures cruelly, including complaints about its use of long, hooked poles called bullhooks, and other methods of control.

Both of these are facing the danger of extinction as the ivory hunters are posing serious threat to the very existence of the largest mammals on earth. Asian Elephants These are also known as Indian elephants and are now considered to be endangered as almost half of their population has declined in the past six or seven decades. Presently, less than 50,000 mature individuals have been reported living in the wild habitat and nearly 15,000 in captivity in the zoos. Approximately 50% of these live in India alone, while the remaining population is dispersed across various other nations of Asia. Based on the slight morphological differences, they are further divided into three types or subspecies, namely, Sri Lankan, Indian and Sumatran. African Elephants They live in Southern, Eastern and Western parts of the African continent and are different from their Asian counterparts. However, they are further recognizable into two species, namely, African Forest Elephants and African Bush Elephants both of which are classified in the genus Loxodonta. In the previous some decades, their population has been declining drastically as in the decade of 1980s, out of the population of 1.3 million about 700,000 individuals were put to death by the poachers. However, they have not been included in the list of endangered animals by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature)."

Here is a list of the ten strongest animals in the world. Strongest Animals In The World1. Dung Beetle This animal may seem like an unlikely contender for the top spot on this list of the strongest animals in the world but it is miraculously strong as compared to its size. It is only half an inch long (about 1.5 cms) but can lift weights that are more than one thousand times its body weight. This strength is used to carry balls of dung. Because male dung beetles battle each other with their horns, they develop this kind of strength. There are three types of dung beetles – dwellers who live in dung balls, rollers who roll the dung into balls and push them to their nests and tunnelers who take the dung balls back to their underground tunnels. Leptodirus Beetle is one of the blind animals in the world."

Aside from their intimidating physicality, elephants are highly intelligent creatures with a well-developed social structure. Among African elephants, the herd is typically led by an older female, or matriarch, and they are known to pass down knowledge of migration paths from generation to generation. Adult elephants will fiercely protect their young from danger, even against highly capable predators such as lions. It’s no surprise then, that such a remarkable animal has attracted a wealth of symbolic meaning over the millennia. DISCLAIMER: THIS LISTING OF SPECIFIC CULTURAL EXAMPLES IS LIMITED AND SELECTIVEAFRICA: Artistic depictions of elephants - such as rock paintings - have been found dating back thousands of years, clearly indicating their importance to early peoples. Although the elephant's numbers and habitat have been reduced and restricted over the past century, they retain a prominent role in stories and folktales throughout the African continent. In many of these tales, the close relationship between elephants and humans is emphasized by the fact that members of each species can take on the form of the other. Stories from Chad, Kenya, and the Zulu region of southern Africa all talk about how, under certain circumstances, elephants have become humans, humans have become elephants, and elephant children have been born from both parties. In Tanzania, there is a story about how the elephant was once a human being but got swindled out of all of his limbs except one, which became his trunk."

Magpies are corvids, a very intelligent family of birds. One magpie had obviously been hit by a car and was lying dead on the side of the road. The four other magpies were standing around him. One approached the corpse, gently pecked at it – just as an elephant noses the carcass of another elephant – and stepped back. Another magpie did the same thing.

Each elephant has a distinctive character so it is not always possible to generalize about the difference between serious and mock charges. A lot of this activity initially involves displays of mock threats of bravery. Most animals will take notice of these threatening displays and take the necessary evasion action. In a serious charge the ears are held back against the neck and the trunk is tucked up against the chin. Most charges are stopped before the target is reached.

During this time period, poachings fueled by ivory sales cut Africa’s elephant population in half. Since they were big targets and sported the largest tusks, savannah elephants took the worst hit. But as soon as these elephants began to vanish, hunters moved into the forests in search of the elephants’ smaller kin. In 1977, 1.3 million elephants lived in Africa; by 1997, only 600,000 remained. Elephant tusks are still prized. Recently, that number has stabilized, due in large part to the 1990 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) ban on international ivory sales. But in June, 1997, CITES voted partially to lift trade sanctions and to allow Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Namibia to sell stockpiled ivory to Japan, where there is a major ivory market. Many conservation groups fear that this slight loosening of the ivory ban will rekindle poaching throughout the elephants’ range. Even though it is illegal to kill an elephant in Africa, people continue to slaughter the mammoth beasts — if not for ivory, then for revenge."

They signal whether an outsider is a friend or foe to the rest of the herd, allowing family members to focus on feeding and breeding when there is no danger. Knowledge The older and more experienced the matriarch, the better she is at recognising old friends, and the more calves the family is likely to produce. Poaching the matriarch could affect the survival chances of the whole herd The findings have important implications for conservation - poachers tend to kill the bigger, older elephants, thereby decreasing the survival chances of the whole group. \"\" Elephants can certainly build up a memory over the years and hold on to it,\"\" study team leader Dr Karen Mc Comb, of Sussex University, Brighton, UK, told BBC News Online. \"\" The matriarch plays a key role, because she has time to build up a social knowledge, the others depend on her. \"\" Elephants often travel large distances in search of food. A typical group of elephants consists of a matriarch grandmother and a number of her daughters and granddaughters."

"text": "Elephant Symbol In China, India and Africa, the elephant is a symbol for power, dignity, intelligence and peace. The elephant is generally considered a symbol of good luck and the animal is a symbol of good fortune. Elephants in Asia are symbolizing a kind of divinity and benevolence and that is why in the recent Asia there are still religious ceremonies where offering is made to the elephants, they wash them and anoint them with special oils and pigments so that the community be blessed with good will. They also symbolize wisdom, loyalty, strength, fidelity and longevity. As a symbol of wisdom, the elephant is said to attain old age and with all its wisdom. The animal is highly revered for its strength and power. With different species, the white elephant having been chosen by Buddha was because he wanted to use it for his many incarnations. The white elephant is a rare animal and their appearance today will still be considered a phenomenon of the gods. It is the most positive animal symbol known with no negative consequence. There are several lessons we can learn from the elephant and these too are used as its symbol: strength, wisdom, solitude, strong sense of loyalty to the family and intelligence."

"text": "Are Turtles a Sign of Good Luck? Whether a turtle are a “sign of good luck” or not really just depends upon the culture, religion or the individual. However it is said in many cultures that turtles are a sign of good luck. They are believed by many to have power over all kinds of bad magic and also symbolize the primal mother and Mother Earth. In addition they have also been said to symbolize longevity and one’s hope and wish for a long life. They are supposedly a link between heaven and earth which made them a natural for use in divination. A few cultures and religions stray away from this train of thought and view the turtle as being bad luck or evil. Some cultures view the turtle as an ancient symbol that represents order, creation, endurance, strength, stability, longevity, fertility, and a gentle innocence, these creatures are said to offer protection, good fortune and have the power to bring forth happiness and good omens. The turtle is one of four of the Chinese sacred animals (the other three of the four being the dragon, the phoenix, and the unicorn). The turtle is a creature of two elements; land and sea, as such these creatures reflect an ability to adapt and flourish in many different environments."

"text": "\"The Hidden or Implied Meaning of Chinese Charm Symbols Differences between Chinese Coins and Chinese Charms Most old Chinese coins have an inscription of four Chinese characters to identify the historical time of their casting and their monetary value. Most Chinese charms also have four (or more) Chinese character inscriptions but the inscription is not meant to identify when the charm was made or its monetary value (which is none). Instead, the inscription is either an auspicious desire, such as for good luck, good fortune, good health, success in the imperial examinations or business, etc., or a wish to avert misfortune from evil ghosts and spirits. ( For additional information on Chinese charm inscriptions, please see Guide to Reading Chinese Characters (Symbols) on Charms and English Translation of Chinese Charm Inscriptions .) More importantly, and unlike Chinese coins, most Chinese charms also depict a variety of objects meant to enhance the inscriptions with rich symbolic meanings. Visual and Spoken Puns One of the peculiarities of the Chinese language is that it has a very large number of written characters but a much smaller number of spoken sounds. As a result, many Chinese characters share the same pronunciation, i.e. are homonyms. The charms of the Ming (1368 - 1644 AD) and Qing (Ch'ing) (1644 - 1911 AD) dynasties, in particular, frequently took advantage of this characteristic. The charms may use depictions of animals, plants and other objects to substitute for other words because of their similarity in pronunciation, even though they may not have any other relationship to what is being expressed."

Shamans and Light workers tell us that Elephant guides us toward a deeper understanding of the Maiden, Mother and Crone and helps us reconnect with our own positive feminine attributes. Like the Goddess, Elephant has an intense focus on family, including past and future generations. Indeed Elephant’s mantra could well be, “family first.” Elephant challenges you to protect the young and weak of your tribe, while also recognizing the amazing extended family unit and how Powerful love and loyalty become when shared. Note, however, that Elephant intuitively knows that not all “family” is bound by blood. Sometimes people come into our lives that hold that sacrosanct role energetically."

Each animal has specific characteristics that will help guide you as to what your subconscious is trying to reveal. Alligator To see an alligator in your dream symbolizes treachery, deceit, and hidden instincts. It may be a signal for you to take on a new perspective on a situation. It may also represent your ability to move between the physical, material world of waking life and the emotional, repressed world of the unconscious. Alternatively, the alligator represents healing powers and qualities. An alligator also suggests that you are thick-skinned or insensitive. To dream that you are running away from the alligator, indicates t hat you are unwilling to confront some painful and disturbing aspect of your unconscious. There is some potentially destructive emotion that you are refusing to acknowledge and owning up to. To dream that you are raped by an alligator, indicates that you feel violated or taken advantage of in some way."

This unusual structure is the brainchild of Lek Viriyapant who had a vision of preserving his personal collection of Thai art for posterity. He pursued this by retaining Buddhist and other relics within the country to foster cultural tourism with the most unusual architecture. Construction of the museum started in 1994 and was only completed in the early 2000s. The centerpiece, of course, was the 250 ton three-headed elephant called Erawan to be hoisted on the domed roof. What is the allure of Erawan? Please see map to the museum The legend of Erawan Erawan is the Thai name for Airawata the holy elephant which emerged from the Garuda's egg shell as Brahma read the holy hymns. This great white elephant with 4 tusks and 7 trunks became the steed of Indra, the god of thunder and war. Thais believe that Erawan has 33 heads. For practical purposes and simplicity, the statues of Erawan are shown with three heads."

The animals play a huge part in African culture, and their symbolism can be found throughout countless pieces of art and historical accouterments. Each animal has a specific meaning and signifies a certain quality or characteristic. In fact, several African tribes believe wearing animal carvings on their masks will improve their communication with animal spirits who live in the desert or wooded areas. Interested in what each animal symbolizes? Read below: The Lion- The lion signifies strength, both in personality and physicality. He represents courage, valor, and pride.

The cells of an onion, on the other hand, do not photosynthesize because they grow beneath the surface. Elodea cells also contain a vacuole, which is filled with a liquid called cell sap that is primarily made up of water. The structure of elodea cells also differ from onion cells."

"text": "\"Carbon Dioxide Removal Introduction The carbon cycle is a fundamental Earth process. Carbon moves continuously through the atmosphere, plants and animals, soils, the ocean, and the rocks of the solid Earth, in time-spans ranging from hours to tens of millions of years. Throughout Earth's history, the balance of carbon in those various reservoirs has kept the atmosphere's carbon dioxide (CO 2) level—and Earth's temperature—within relatively narrow ranges. In this experiment, students will observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO 2) from Earth's atmosphere. This process is a part of the carbon cycle and results in temperature suitable for life. Objective: Students will:develop an understanding of a part of the carbon cycle: animals exhale carbon dioxide and photosynthetic plants consume carbon dioxidedevelop an evidence-based understanding of the connection between plants and animals through the carbon cycle Skills:observationexperimentationinterpretation Materials:bromothymol blue (BTB), a carbon dioxide indicator in a dropper bottlesmall jars with lids (baby food jars)waterdrinking strawssprigs of Elodea (or other water plant, commonly found in aquarium supply stores)Procedure Prior Knowledge Explain to students that air is a mixture of many different gases (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, and other trace gasses). Ask: What gases do animals breathe in and breathe out? What gases do plants take in and release through photosynthesis?

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."

Today, you know that not all green things are plants and that some plants aren’t green at all. In 1978, a modern classification of plants was proposed by plant ecologist, Robert Whittaker, who gave five divisions: monera (single-celled organism), protoctista (mainly fresh water aquatic plants), fungi (ascomycete, basidiomycete, chytria and penicillium conidiophor), plantae (algae, all seaweed and kelp) and animalia (sponge, jellyfish, insect, etc). The role of aquatic plants is so essential for survival that they belong to two divisions: Plantae and Protoctista. Function, Physical Characteristics and Adaptation of Aquatic Plants: Aquatic plants, also termed as hydrophytes or aquatic macrophytes, live within watery environments. In the ecosystem, aquatic plants serve as food and habitat for animals living in the sea and prevent shorelines, ponds and lakes from eroding by providing soil stability. Characteristics common to aquatic plants:1. Most aquatic plants do not need cuticles or have thin cuticles as cuticles prevent loss of water.2. Aquatic plants keep their stomata always open for they do not need to retain water.3. On each side of their leaves are a number of stomata.4."

Elodea plants are native to the New World, though a number of species have established themselves as invasive species in ponds and quiet waterways.

Canadian waterweed Canadian waterweed ( Elodea canadensis ). Kristian Peterswaterweed Waterweed ( Elodea genus); the bubbles attached to leaves and stem were generated by photosynthesis. Runk Schoenberger—Grant Heilman/Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Elodea are herbaceous perennials that feature dark green leaves arranged in whorls of two to seven along the stem. Plants are usually dioecious (individuals bear either male or female flowers only) and produce seeds in ellipsoid or oval capsules. The plants reproduce readily by asexual fragmentation, and many invasive populations consist entirely of individuals of the same sex, having originated from a single, introduced, plant fragment. While the thin and wiry roots can anchor the plants into soft substrate, Elodea also grows well floating. Brazilian elodea ( Egeria densa; formerly Elodea densa) and Canadian waterweed are commonly used in schools as an experimental plant for demonstrating cellular structures, such as chloroplasts and nuclei, and oxygen production during photosynthesis."

"text": "\"Emotional Damages Are Not Taxable In a recent landmark decision, the U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held that compensatory damages for emotional distress and loss of reputation are not taxable. The issue first surfaced when Marrita Murphy reported environmental hazards at a New York Air National Guard base where she worked. She filed a lawsuit against her employer whom she claimed had blacklisted her and given her bad references. She claimed “emotional distress or mental anguish” and \"\"injury to professional reputation”. She was awarded damages which she paid taxes on. But then she amended her 2000 tax return, excluding the damages from her gross income. But the IRS denied her the tax refund, so Murphy filed a lawsuit against the IRS. The point of contention was a 1996 congressional amendment to the tax code that excluded \"\"any damages (other than punitive damages) received . . . on account of personal physical injuries or physical sickness\"\" from gross income. Prior to that, the tax code had affirmed that taxable \"\"gross income means all income from whatever source derived. \"\""

"text": "\"Resources Pennsylvania State Law Summary 2016A. CAUSES OF ACTIONIn Pennsylvania, claims against transportation companies are commonly brought under the following theories of liability:1. Negligence To maintain an action in negligence, a plaintiff must establish that the defendant (1) owed a duty of care to the plaintiff, (2) that the defendant failed to perform the duty of care, (3) the failure was the proximate cause of the plaintiff’s damages, and (4) the plaintiff sustained an actual loss or injury. The operation of vehicles in Pennsylvania is governed by the Motor Vehicle Code, 75 Pa. C. S. A. § 3101 et seq. Violation of a statute is negligence per se. However, a plaintiff cannot recover unless the negligence is the proximate cause of the injury. The plaintiff bears the burden of establishing causation.12. Respondeat Superior Pennsylvania follows the general rule that “a master is liable for the torts of his servant if the servant’s tortious conduct was within the scope of his employment. ”2 The determination of the precise nature of the relationship and the scope of employment is generally within the exclusive province of the jury.3To be considered within the scope of employment, conduct must meet the following criteria: (1) it must be of the kind the actor was employed to perform; (2) it must occur substantially within the authorized time and space limits; and (3) it must be actuated, at least in part, by a purpose to serve the master.4 It is not necessary that the acts be specifically authorized by the master to be within the scope of employment; it is sufficient if they are clearly incidental to the master’s business.5In certain circumstances, liability under the doctrine of respondeat superior may extend to intentional or criminal acts committed by the employee. However, if an act is done for personal reasons, or in an outrageous manner, it is not done within the scope of employment.6 Negligence of the employee will not be imputed to the employer when it is established that the employee embarked upon an independent journey, abandoned the employer’s purpose, or substantially departed from the instructed duties.73. Negligent Hiring, Retention, Supervision Pennsylvania recognizes claims for negligent hiring, retention and supervision when an employer has failed to exercise reasonable care in the selection or training of its employees."

[ 2] Some courts and commentators have substituted mental for emotional, but the tort is the same. [ 1]Contents [ hide ]1 Rationale for classification2 Elements2.1 Intentional or reckless act2.2 Extreme and outrageous conduct2.3 Causation2.4 Qualification3 Pleading practices4 First Amendment considerations5 See also6 References Rationale for classification [ edit]IIED was created in tort law to address a problem that would arise when applying the common law form of assault. The common law tort of assault did not allow for liability when a threat of battery was not imminent. A common case would be a future threat of harm that would not constitute common law assault, but would nevertheless cause emotional harm to the recipient. IIED was created to guard against this kind of emotional abuse, thereby allowing a victim of emotional distress to receive compensation in situations where he or she would otherwise be barred from compensation under the common law form. According to the first doctrine articulated by common law courts, a plaintiff could not recover for physical injury from fright alone absent a physical impact from an external source (\"\"shock without impact\"\"), even if the fright was proven to have resulted from a defendant's negligence, with the case on point referring to the negligent operation of a railroad. [ 3] Even with intentional conduct, absent material damage, claims for emotional harm were similarly barred. \"\" Mental pain or anxiety, the law cannot value, and does not pretend to redress, when the unlawful act causes that alone. Though where a material damage occurs, and is connected with it, it is impossible a jury, in estimating it, should altogether overlook the feelings of the party interested.\"\" ["

"text": "Wrongful Termination Damages: What Kinds of Losses Lead to Higher Compensation?by Learn More If you believe you were fired illegally, you’re probably wondering whether it’s worth it to bring a wrongful termination claim against your former employer. If you win your case, how much can you expect to receive in compensation? The answer to that question will depend largely on the losses or “damages” you suffered as a result of the illegal firing. We surveyed readers who recently had a wrongful termination claim to get an idea of the losses they experienced and how much they received in a settlement or award. Here’s what we learned. Compensation for What You Lost When you’ve been fired, your first wish may be simply to get your job back. But that’s rarely what happens, even in a successful wrongful termination claim. By the time a fired worker files a lawsuit, the former working relationship is usually harmed beyond repair, and judges don’t want to force people to work together. Successful wrongful termination cases almost always result in cash settlements, or less often, in court awards after a trial. In theory, the money is meant to make up for what you lost or suffered, such as lost earnings and benefits, medical bills, and job search costs."

This week, Pleading Ignorance examines settlements/verdicts, and how much of the money really is yours. Like everything in life, what is and isn’t taxable is complicated. Whether or not the money in a settlement is taxable depends on a number of factors, because nothing in income tax is ever simple. According to Jeff Schnepper at moneycentral.msn.com (12/04/09), there must be a physical injury for the settlement to be free from tax. So, an award for wrongful termination would be taxable because there is no physical injury."

"text": "IRS reporting requirements for class action settlement payments and court awarded damages Baker & Hostetler LLPUSA February 20 2013When finalizing class action settlements, or paying damage awards after a class action judgment, it is important to be mindful of the taxation of these payments and the related IRS information reporting requirements triggered by these payments. In general, businesses and persons engaged in a trade or business are responsible for filing Form 1099-MISC to report payments of over $600 per calendar year to the IRS and to the payee. This requirement includes reporting of settlement payments and damage awards. Form 1099-MISC allows the reporting of several different categories of income. For example, taxable damages paid to a plaintiff are reported on Form 1099-MISC, Box 3. In a class action lawsuit, taxable payments made to plaintiffs must be reported using the following guidelines. Form 1099-MISC, Box 3 – The Other Income box should be used to report payments for (1) punitive damages, (2) damages for non-physical injuries or sickness (including emotional distress or mental pain and anguish), (3) liquidated damages received under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and (4) all other taxable damages. In addition, an award of back pay of wages is generally reportable on Form W-2 and is subject to the normal payroll withholding rules for employee compensation. Product liability claims must be broken down based on the types of damages being paid. Some examples of other taxable damages (reportable on Form 1099-MISC): Other taxable damages generally include a payment that would replace income that would be taxable when received, such as a damage award for lost profits."

"text": "Related Articles1How to Calculate the Penalty for Underwithholding on Federal Taxes2Taxation of Class-Action Settlement Proceeds3How to Report Legal Settlement Taxes4How to Win a Wrongful Termination Lawsuit Small business owners who receive proceeds from a wrongful death lawsuit settlement may be concerned about the impact that the proceeds have on their federal income tax liability. Since these settlement amounts can be substantial, some fear that receiving their settlement will cause them to owe a high amount of tax to the Internal Revenue Service, but many wrongful death lawsuit settlements are not taxable by the IRS. This also means that small businesses that are forced to pay wrongful death lawsuit settlement awards cannot deduct them as a business expense. Wrongful Death Lawsuit Settlement Overview A wrongful death lawsuit settlement is a monetary award granted to the survivors of a person who has died due to corporate or individual misconduct or negligence. The family members of the decedent may file a lawsuit that accuses another person or a company of being partially responsible for the death of their loved one. If the court agrees, the judge may award damages and financial payments to the surviving family. IRS Regulations According to the IRS, any lawsuit settlement proceeds that a court awards for physical illness or injury are non-taxable. This includes wrongful death settlements, since the damages are imposed due to a court’s finding that a third party is responsible for the physical illness or injury that resulted in death. To qualify for this exception, the settlement must be compensatory, meaning that it must be a form of compensation for the pain and suffering caused in the case. Impact on Federal Tax Return Since compensatory proceeds are non-taxable, they have no impact on a federal tax return."

These include monetary awards for medical expenses, property damage, and loss of income. “ General” damages may also be awarded for pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, and lost opportunity for future enjoyment of life. Actual Damages1. Medical Expenses Serious injuries incur hefty medical bills. Therefore, an injured person’s medical expenses constitute a significant portion of the compensatory damages to which he or she is entitled. Logic dictates that the greater the amount of money owed for physician’s services, the greater the damages sought. Future medical costs must also be factored into compensatory damages, especially in the case of long-term injuries requiring significant or ongoing treatment. An experienced personal injury attorney is best able to find the necessary experts to clearly determine the value of your claim, and establish the need for future medical treatment.2."

Many Florida attorneys believe that intentional infliction of severe emotional distress, or IIED, is nothing more than a theoretical concept briefly touched upon in law school classrooms.

"text": "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress Law and Legal Definition Intentional infliction of emotional distress or mental distress is a tort claim for intentional conduct that results in mental reaction such as anguish, grief, or fright to another person’s actions that entails recoverable damages. Some jurisdictions refer to IIED as the tort of outrage. Seeing a child die in an automobile accident from a distance or receiving a letter from someone falsely claiming that a close family member had died are all examples of intentional infliction of emotional distress. The elements of a prima facie case for the tort of intentional infliction of emotional distress are: Outrageous conduct by the defendant;The defendant's intention of causing or reckless disregard of the probability of causing emotional distress;The plaintiff's suffering severe or extreme emotional distress; and Actual and proximate causation of the emotional distress by the defendant's outrageous conduct. ( Alcorn v. Anbro Engineering, Inc (1970) 2 Cal.3d 493, 497-498. Emotional distress means mental distress, mental suffering or mental anguish. It includes all highly unpleasant mental reactions, such as fright, nervousness, grief, anxiety, worry, mortification, shock, humiliation and indignity, as well as physical pain. Severe emotional distress is emotional distress of such substantial quantity or enduring quality that no reasonable person in a civilized society should be expected to endure it. In determining the severity of emotional distress consideration is given to its intensity and duration also. One of the major hurdles in a intentional infliction of emotional distress lawsuit is proving that the defendant’s conduct was extreme or outrageous."

"text": "Are Lawsuit Settlements Deductible? Tax deduction for damages provide a modicum of relief to the defendant who may be burdened with a huge settlement in favor of the plaintiff. Read the article to know if lawsuit settlements are deductible or not. Tagged Under: Litigation Advertisement Tax deductible items are expenses that can be subtracted from adjusted gross income so as to reduce the net taxable income. These allowable deductions are useful to the defendant, who may be forced to make disbursements in favor of the plaintiff, since tax deductible items have the effect of reducing the defendant's tax burden. Are lawsuit settlements deductible? The answer to this question hinges on the nature of the settlement and the damages awarded to the plaintiff in a court of law. Basics Damages or monetary compensation awarded by a court in a civil action, to the plaintiff who has been injured by the action of the defendant, may be punitive or compensatory. The latter is awarded as compensation for actual damages, that can be quantified, as well as compensation for emotional distress. Needless to say, compensation for emotional distress cannot be measured in precise terms."

Personal Injury and Medical Expenses If you're involved in an accident, there are several components to the insurance claim you file: compensation for personal injury, medical expenses and property damage. The IRS does not consider personal injury payments as taxable income under any circumstances. If you deduct medical expenses related to the accident from your income, you have to adjust the deduction if you later receive payments from the insurance company for those expenses."

"text": "How to calculate a departing employee's wages Several factors determine the amount and timing of the payments By Adam Hamel Published: December 28, 2012Adam Hamel, an attorney in the Employment Practices Group of Mc Lane, Graf, Raulerson & Middleton, can be reached at 628-1189 or [email protected]. Q. When John, an employee of Acme Inc., quit to take a new job elsewhere, Acme paid him wages through his last day at work. Now John says that, as a salaried employee, he should have been paid for the full pay period (two weeks), instead of just through his last day on the job. He also claims that he should be paid for three weeks of unused vacation time, even though Acme has a “use it or lose it” vacation policy. Is John entitled to this additional pay? A. Whenever an employment relationship ends, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the departing employee is entitled to be paid for all wages owed. The amount and timing of the payments depends on several factors, such as the circumstances of the termination and the written personnel policies of the employer. John’s claim involves two issues that will commonly arise when a salaried employee voluntarily leaves a company to take another job. John takes the position that, as a salaried employee, he is entitled to be paid for the entire two-week pay period during which his employment ended, even though his last day was before the end of the pay period. John is probably referring to the requirement under New Hampshire law that salaried employees must receive full salary for any pay period in which the employee performs any work, without regard to the number of days or hours worked."

It is intended to allow the employee vacation, rest and recreation. It is also intended for the employee's use in attending to personal or emergency business, to extend the time available to the employee under some other leave programs, and for use with specific military leave entitlement (see Military Leave). An employee may receive donations of annual leave from fellow employees and employees of other agencies, and may donate annual leave to employees of this and other agencies through the leave transfer program (see Leave Transfer). An employee may receive donations of annual leave from pooled donations from fellow employees and employees of other agencies if adversely affected by a major disaster or emergency, as declared by the President, that causes severe hardship to the employee or family member to such a degree that the employee's absence from work is required (see Emergency Leave Transfer program for Major Disasters or Emergencies). Responsibilities Annual leave is an employee benefit and accrues automatically. All employees are expected to use their annual leave judiciously. Supervisors have the discretion to decide when and in what amount annual leave may be approved. This decision should weigh the needs of the workplace with the desires of the employee. Employees may be required to request leave several days to several weeks in advance of the time they wish to take it so that work can scheduled and the leave plans of other employees coordinated."

My organisation operates a performance rating system (1-5, 5 is high) and a discretionary bonus scheme. Prior to going on maternity leave I was rated as a 4 performer which meant that I always received a performance bonus. The year I went off on maternity leave I received a lower performance rating (3) but still received a performance bonus. I am being told that my rating will carry forward for the year I was on maternity leave (2009), but I won’t receive a performance bonus. I have been in the same department since 2005 and for the years 05,06 and 07 I received a 4 ratings and a performance bonus each year. In the 9 years i have worked for this organisation I have never had a year whereby I have not received a discretionary bonus. I appreciate that the financial climate is tougher, but if I look objectively at my previous performance, the only difference is that I was out of the business for 14 months. I now feel that I have been disadvantaged and discriminated against for going on maternity leave which seems very unfair. I have canvassed opinion of a few colleagues who have been involved in this year’s pay review and they believe I have been treated harshly."

Congress passed the landmark Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) health benefit provisions in 1986. The law amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Internal Revenue Code and the Public Health Service Act to provide continuation of group health coverage that otherwise might be terminated. What does COBRA do? COBRA provides certain former employees, retirees, spouses, former spouses, and dependent children the right to temporary continuation of health coverage at group rates. This coverage, however, is only available when coverage is lost due to certain specific events. Group health coverage for COBRA participants is usually more expensive than health coverage for active employees, since usually the employer pays a part of the premium for active employees while COBRA participants generally pay the entire premium themselves. It is ordinarily less expensive, though, than individual health coverage. Who is entitled to benefits under COBRA? There are three elements to qualifying for COBRA benefits."

The FLSA was enacted by the United States Congress in 1938 and amended several times since. Kansas State University, Human Capital Services (HCS) has the responsibility for ensuring and maintaining compliance with the FLSA. HCS assigns each position to either overtime eligible or overtime exempt status, based upon the nature of the position's duties and its level of responsibility and the testing criteria established by the Fair Labor Standards Act. Local agency employees are covered by the FLSA, but are not eligible for the special compensatory time provision (in lieu of overtime pay) afforded public employees. Fair Labor Standards Act requirements apply to positions and employees, not to job titles. Each individual position must be analyzed to determine whether the position is overtime eligible or exempt from the overtime and minimum wage requirements..020 Statutes, Regulations, and Policies The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Code of Federal Regulations (C. F. R.) are comprehensive documents. Consequently, this chapter covers the FLSA as it relates to Kansas State University. As such, not every scenario or regulation provision is discussed. For clarification or expansion on any portion of the Fair Labor Standards Act, contact Compensation and Organizational Effectiveness in Human Capital Services at 785-532-1866."

Salaries Salaries are usually associated with \"\"white-collar\"\" workers such as office employees, managers, professionals, and executives. Salaried employees are often paid semi-monthly (e.g., on the 15th and last day of the month) or bi-weekly (e.g., every other Friday) and their salaries are often stated as a gross annual amount, such as \"\"$48,000 per year.\"\" The \"\"gross\"\" amount refers to the pay an employee would receive before withholdings are made for such things as taxes, contributions to United Way, and savings plans. Since salaried employees earn a specified annual amount, it is likely that their gross pay for each pay period is the same recurring amount. For example, if a manager's salary is $48,000 per year and salaries are paid semi-monthly, the manager's gross pay will be $2,000 for each of the 24 pay periods. ( If the manager is paid bi-weekly, the gross pay would be $1,846.15 for each of the 26 pay periods.) A salaried employee's work period usually ends on payday; for example, a paycheck on January 31 usually covers the work period of January 16-31. This is convenient for accounting purposes if the company prepares financial statements on a calendar month basis. Wages Wages are often associated with production employees (sometimes referred to as \"\"blue-collar\"\" workers), non-managers, and other employees whose pay is dependent on hours worked."

The amount of public holiday pay an employee is entitled to varies between employees. It is based on the regular wages [ 1] the employee earned in the pay period prior to the public holiday, divided by the number of days the employee worked in that period.

"text": "Employees who are leaving their employment for any reason (eg by resignation, retirement, redundancy, dismissal or completion of fixed term) usually get their final wages and holiday pay on their last day of work, but may be paid it in their pay for the final period of their employment. If you’re an employee and think your final pay is overdue, you should speak to your employer in the first instance. Public holidays There is a rule that means employees are sometimes entitled to be paid for public holidays that fall after their employment has ended (ie after their termination date). This can happen if the employee has unused annual holidays they are entitled to at the time their employment ends. This rule doesn’t apply to employees who haven’t completed 12 months' service because they haven’t become entitled to annual holidays yet. Read more about annual holiday entitlements. To work out whether an employee is entitled to paid public holidays that happen after their employment has ended, follow these steps: Treat any remaining annual holidays that the employee is entitled to as if the employee had taken them immediately after the date their employment ended. The employee must be paid for a public holiday if it:happens within the time period created by adding on these remaining annual holidays to the end of employment, andhappens on a day that the employee would have worked if they were still employed, and the day wasn’t a public holiday. If the employee is entitled to be paid for a public holiday then:the period that the annual holidays covers is extended by one day for each public holiday the employee is entitled to be paid for, andthis new extended period may contain more public holidays which also need to be considered for payment. The payment for any public holidays is calculated in the usual way."

"title": "http://www.plunkettcooney.com/publications-152.html\nOhio Employers' Liability for Actions of Employees and Independent Contractors",
"text": "Ohio Employers' Liability for Actions of Employees and Independent Contractors The Dispatch Newsletter February 19, 2008 Share In today’s world, claims and litigation have become increasingly commonplace. For this reason, companies must minimize their potential exposure to liability for the acts of employees and independent contractors. Such exposure may vary depending upon whether an individual would be recognized by the courts as an independent contractor rather than as an employee. In order to determine whether an individual is an employee or an independent contractor, Ohio courts examine whether a company retains the right to control the means and method of performing work. The more control the company retains, the more likely it is that the courts will consider the individual to be an employee. If the individual is solely responsible to the company for the result, not the means of achieving that result, the individual is more likely to be considered an independent contractor. The distinction between an employee and independent contractor is critical because companies are generally liable for actions of employees, as long as those actions are performed within the scope of the employment relationship. However, companies are not generally liable for the actions of independent contractors. As with nearly all legal principles, there are exceptions to each of these general rules and, of course, exceptions to the exceptions. For example, even where an employee is not acting within the scope of employment, the employer may still be liable if the employee’s actions were calculated to promote the business of the employer."

I thought about this today but didn't ask any of my professors because I felt like I should know the answer. I know that stamped construction documents are considered legal documents and the architect takes liability for the building when he/she stamps the drawings. But my question is, where do the structural engineers come in? I know they also stamp drawings. So if a licensed structural engineer stamps a set of construction drawings, would the architect also stamp the drawings? Is it an either-or scenario where either the engineer or the architect stamps the drawings depending on the situation or are both stamps required always? And as far as the structural integrity of the building, is the architect responsible for any of it or does that responsibility fall entirely on the engineer?"

Posted by: Rachel Rapoza On Jul 8, 2016Determining the difference between an employee and a 1099 independent contractor can be somewhat difficult and could lead to worker misclassification. However, it is vital that the key players in your organization, as well as the employees and independent contractors working for your organization, are aware of the key distinctions. Who is an employee? An employee is someone who provides services for your organization, and you dictate which services they provide. You are in charge of when they work, what they work on, and how this work will be done. Although employees may only require minimal assistance when doing their job, you have the last word in what they do and how they do it. Employees often receive specific training by the employer, are paid a regular salary, and their work is viewed as integral to the business. Who is an independent contractor? An independent contractor is someone hired by your organization to provide services, but your organization does not have the right to dictate how the independent contractor provides those services."

A: In order to determine if you are required by law to carry workers’ compensation insurance, you must first determine your business entity, i.e., sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), corporation, agricultural operation, business with radiation, estate, trust, etc. If you are a sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, estate, or trust, you are required by law to carry coverage once you have three (3) employees who are regularly employed, in addition to the sole proprietor, partners, formulators of the LLC, executor of the estate, and bearer of the trust. It does not matter if these employees are full time, part time, regular seasonal or family members. If you are incorporated, including all forms of corporations and those which have non-profit status, you are required by law to carry coverage once you have a total of three (3) people in the corporation. Everyone is included in the headcount, including corporate officers. Businesses with radiation are required by law to carry coverage when they have one (1) employee. An agricultural operation must carry coverage when there are ten (10) or more regular, non-seasonal employees. Any other business entity not mentioned above would use the three (3) or more employees rule."

While using an alternative workforce has benefits, it can create legal and practical risks as well. If you use or are considering using contingent workers, here are some benefits and risks to weigh. Audio Conference: Independent Contractor Myths: New Ways Employers Are Getting Burned Benefits of contingent workers There are many potential benefits to using contingent workers. Although the specific benefits vary from case to case, some of the more common benefits include: Cost savings. Perhaps the most significant motivation for using workers such as independent contractors and temps is cost savings. You often must pay employees for nonproductive time, but you don’t usually pay contingent workers for downtime ( e.g., you cut back on temps during periods of low production). Additionally, you generally don’t provide workers such as independent contractors and temps with the benefits you provide to regular employees, such as vacation time, holiday pay, sick leave, and health insurance. Finally, using independent contractors allows you to avoid withholding payroll taxes, paying social security and Medicare taxes, and making unemployment contributions. Increased efficiency."

Harassment is unwelcome conduct that is based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive. Anti-discrimination laws also prohibit harassment against individuals in retaliation for filing a discrimination charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or lawsuit under these laws; or opposing employment practices that they reasonably believe discriminate against individuals, in violation of these laws. Petty slights, annoyances, and isolated incidents (unless extremely serious) will not rise to the level of illegality. To be unlawful, the conduct must create a work environment that would be intimidating, hostile, or offensive to reasonable people. Offensive conduct may include, but is not limited to, offensive jokes, slurs, epithets or name calling, physical assaults or threats, intimidation, ridicule or mockery, insults or put-downs, offensive objects or pictures, and interference with work performance. Harassment can occur in a variety of circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following: The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, an agent of the employer, a co-worker, or a non-employee. The victim does not have to be the person harassed, but can be anyone affected by the offensive conduct. Unlawful harassment may occur without economic injury to, or discharge of, the victim."

The third edition of Malpractice Issues in Radiology is scheduled for release this fall and will be available from the American Roentgen Ray Society. The Case A 66-year-old man was referred to a hospital radiology department for an air contrast lower gastrointestinal examination because of the recent onset of melena. After completing the fluoroscopic and spot-film portion of the examination, the radiologist instructed the radiology technologist to obtain overhead radiographs of the patient’s abdomen with the patient in supine, prone, oblique, and lateral positions. The radiologist also requested that the technologist obtain an anteroposterior view of the abdomen with the patient upright. The radiologist left the fluoroscopy room, and the technologist proceeded to obtain the prescribed radiographs."

"text": "\"Last updated: 12/30/2015Related Products MORECalifornia Workers' Comp How to Win Your Personal Injury Claim Settling Legal Disputes If you are injured when receiving medical treatment in a hospital, can you sue the hospital for negligence or medical malpractice? Though hospitals are often on the hook for incompetent care provided by employees like nurses and medical technicians, they often are not responsible for a doctor's medical malpractice. Here's a primer on when a hospital is, and is not, responsible for medical malpractice committed by employees, doctors, anesthesiologists, and other care providers. Hospitals Are Liable for Employee Actions If someone is an employee of a hospital, the hospital is typically responsible (liable) if that employee hurts a patient by acting incompetently. In other words, if the employee is negligent (is not reasonably cautious when treating or dealing with a patient), the hospital will usually be on the hook for any resulting injuries to the patient. ( Keep in mind that not every mistake or unfortunate event that happens in a hospital rises to the level of negligence. To learn more about what constitutes medical malpractice, read Nolo's article Medical Malpractice Basics. ) Typically, nurses, medical technicians, and support staff are hospital employees. As long as the employee was doing something job-related when he or she caused an injury to a patient, the patient can usually sue the hospital for resulting damages. For example, if a registered nurse (R. N.) employed by the hospital injects the wrong medication into an IV \"\"push,\"\" and the patient ends up suffering harm as a result, then the hospital could probably be considered liable for the R. N.'s mistake."

"text": "Employee vs. Independent Contractor Once you make the decision to hire an assistant, your next consideration is whether the assistant will be an employee or independent contractor. This is a significant decision, as it indicates whether you will be liable for certain tax withholdings. According the 2012 NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® Member Profile, 56 percent of the personal assistants employed by REALTORS® are hired as independent contractors and 44 percent are hired as employees. If your assistant is an employee, then you will be the employer responsible for the same tax withholding as other employees receive: federal income tax, FICA (Social Security and Medicare), FUTA (federal unemployment compensation), state income tax, and state unemployment compensation. You may also be required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. If the assistant is hired as an independent contractor, the assistant is responsible for his or her tax obligations unless otherwise required by the language and intent of the particular state law. Generally, an assistant will be considered an employee if you retain the right to control what the assistant does and how it is done. Since the need for an assistant derives from a salesperson’s excessive workload and the assistant’s activities will directly impact the salesperson’s work, the salesperson may want to retain a significant amount of control over the assistant’s actions. If this is true for your situation, it’s most likely that your assistant will be an employee, and you — the hiring professional — will be responsible for all tax withholdings. Because of the nature of the job to be performed, more than likely an unlicensed assistant should be treated as an employee."

"text": "\"Vicarious Liability - Employers’ Liability for Wrongdoing of Employees Under what circumstances is an employer liable for the wrongdoing of its employee? Both from the employer’s perspective and the victim’s perspective, the answer can be critically important to many types of lawsuits. Victims sue employers, in many cases, simply because employers have more money than the employees who actually caused the harm. It is partly because of the employer’s presumably “deep pockets” that both Pennsylvania and Federal law provide vehicles for victims to bring these claims against employers directly. The legal terminology woven into a discussion of these issues is the doctrine of respondeat superior, or “vicarious liability.” The law has evolved over many years, but the basic idea is that an employer is vicariously liable for the negligent acts of his employee which cause injuries to a third party, provided that such acts were committed during the course of and within the scope of the employment. In Valles v. Albert Einstein Medical Center, 758 A.2d 1238 (Pa. Super. 2000), the estate of an alleged medical malpractice victim brought a suit against the hospital in which the procedure was performed. The Pennsylvania Superior Court was called upon to decide whether the hospital was vicariously liable to the victim’s estate for the doctor’s failure to secure the victim’s informed consent prior to performing the procedure. The court explained that the answer turned on whether the doctor was a “servant” or employee of the hospital as opposed to an independent contractor."

Under the amendments, as of Sept. 15, 2012, all contractors, including independent contractors and other types of business entities (such as limited liability companies -- LLCs) that perform building construction or improvement services must register with the Department of Labor and Industry (or be exempted from registration) and meet the nine-factor independent contractor test. Under the nine-factor test, an individual is considered an independent contractor only if he or she:maintains a separate business with the individual's own office, equipment, materials and other facilities; (i) holds or has applied for a federal employer identification number or (ii) has filed business or self-employment income tax returns with the federal Internal Revenue Service if the individual has performed services in the previous year;is operating under contract to perform the specific services for the person for specific amounts of money and under which the individual controls the means of performing the services;is incurring the main expenses related to the services that the individual is performing for the person under the contract;is responsible for the satisfactory completion of the services that the individual has contracted to perform for the person and is liable for a failure to complete the services;receives compensation from the person for the services performed under the contract on a commission or per-job or competitive bid basis and not on any other basis;may realize a profit or suffer a loss under the contract to perform services for the person;has continuing or recurring business liabilities or obligations; andthe success or failure of the individual's business depends on the relationship of business receipts to expenditures. Even if an individual performing building construction or improvement services is an owner or partial owner of a business entity (such as an LLC), the individual is considered an employee of the general or hiring contractor unless: the business entity meets the nine-factor test; invoices are submitted in the name of the business entity; and the business entity is registered with the Secretary of State and the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), if required by law. To avoid misclassification, building construction or improvement contractors should verify that the individual or business entity they intend to subcontract with meets the nine-factor test; have written contracts that are consistent with the nine-factor test; verify registration (or exemption from registration) with DLI; and verify that the subcontractor has an active business filing with the Secretary of State (if required for the type of business). Building construction contractors should also be aware that a general contractor or intermediate contractor is liable for all of the workers' compensation benefits due to the injured employee of a subcontractor if the subcontractor does not have workers' compensation insurance."

However reaping the benefits of tax advantages requires keeping records, organizing receipts and paying estimated taxes. Living in a state that collects income tax requires investigating its rules on self-employment or contractor tax as well. But in a state that doesn't collect income tax, including Texas, you just need to satisfy the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules on paying taxes. Verify Independent Contractor Status Don't assume that because the company classifies you as an independent contractor or reports your income on form 1099 that you are actually a contract worker. The IRS has its own definition of contractor that not all companies adhere too. According to the IRS, a business can only control the or direct the result of the work done by an independent contractor, but not methods of accomplishing the result. In essence, a company can tell a contract worker what they want done, but not how to do it. If you're not sure about whether your contractor status meets the IRS rules, you can file form SS-8 with the IRS, which will look at your situation and make a determination. It is important to verify your status because if you take tax deductions afforded a contract worker, but the IRS doesn't view your position as contract work, you can be liable to pay taxes and penalties."

Employers may be required to provide certain time-off benefits to their employees, including time off to vote, jury duty leave, family and medical leave, pregnancy leave and military leave. Time-off benefits for employees can be offered at the employer's discretion, but several are mandated by federal and/or state law. Required time-off benefits include time off to vote, jury duty leave, family and medical leave, pregnancy or maternity leave, and military leave. Time Off to Vote You probably want your employees to be active in the community they live in, and part of that activism involves voting in local, state, and federal elections. While there are no federal laws that require you to give employees time off to vote, the majority of jurisdictions have laws that require private employers to give employees time off to vote, and in many of these states, the employee must be paid for this time. Most states, even those without voting leave laws, have laws protecting employees from employer influence, interference or intimidation regarding their political opinions and/or right to vote. Consult our state map covering voting time-off requirements for your state's laws regarding voting leave for employees. Tools to Use Our Business Tools contain a sample time-off policy that you can edit in conjunction with your state's law (if applicable) and distribute to your employees.

Some activities are not considered compensable, but rather incidental. Deductions may be made from employees' pay under certain circumstances, but the rules differ for exempt and nonexempt employees. The treatment of meals and breaks for the purpose of calculating hours worked is subject to both federal and state laws. Finally, it's important to have an accurate method of tracking your employees' hours worked. Properly paying your employees involves a complex series of steps to determine how many hours an employee has worked in a workweek. The concept of a workweek and hours worked is crucial to administering your payroll because the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) provisions for minimum wage and overtime pay are based upon it. While calculating how many hours an employee has worked may sound simple, determining what counts as compensable time is anything but straightforward. What Counts as Compensable Work?"

"text": "A Small Business Guide to Offering Paid Time Off By Suzanne Kearns5 min read In today’s competitive market, small-business owners have to do all they can to attract quality employees to their business, and one way to do that is to offer perks like paid sick leave and vacation time. In fact, a study [PDF] conducted by Oxford Economics shows that almost three-quarters of U. S. workers earn paid time off. Having this benefit not only makes a company more appealing to employees, but the study shows that after taking time off, employees come back more productive, focused, and dedicated. Here’s a guide to implementing sick leave and paid-time-off policies in your business. Vacation Time Employer law is mandated by The Fair Labor Standards Act, and it doesn’t require all employers to offer paid vacation time. However, if you have 50 or more employees, you are required by the Family Medical Leave Act to provide certain employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave each year. In addition, many employers offer paid time off for some holidays, like New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, but it isn’t mandatory. If you want to enact a formal vacation time policy at your business, you can create one that best fits your business, and make it official by including it in your written company policies. Here are some of the things you will need to take into consideration: How much paid vacation time will you give? You can offer the same amount to all your employees, or associate how much vacation time they have with the number of years they have worked for you."

For the first part, pregnancy disability leave, New York is one of a small handful of states that gives employees the right to time off that is paid through insurance. For the second part, New Yorkers benefit from two state laws that give them the right to be paid part of their usual wages when they take time off work for pregnancy and for parental leave. In addition, the federal Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) gives employees in all states the right to take unpaid leave for these reasons. The federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) also prohibits your employer from discriminating against you because of your pregnancy, which may give you the right to take time off work in some cases. Pregnancy Disability Leave Like employees in other states, New York employees may have the right to take time off work while they are unable to work due to pregnancy under the FMLA and/or the PDA. Unlike employees in other states, New York employees also have the right to get paid during this time off. New York’s Temporary Disability Benefits Law New York law requires employers to provide short-term disability coverage to their employees. This insurance provides partial wage replacement (50% of the employee's wages, up to a weekly cap) to employees who are temporarily unable to work for any reason, including pregnancy.

The federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) also prohibits your employer from discriminating against you because of your pregnancy, which may give you the right to take time off work in some cases. And, Oregon requires employers to provide paid sick leave to employees, which you can use while you are unable to work due to childbirth and pregnancy. Taking Time Off During Pregnancy in Oregon There are two types of laws that might protect you if you need pregnancy leave: laws prohibiting pregnancy discrimination and laws that require pregnancy leave. Pregnancy Discrimination The federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act does not require employers to give pregnant employees time off work. However, it does require employers to treat employees who are unable to work due to pregnancy just as it treats other employees who are temporarily disabled. For example, if your company lets employees take time off for illness or injuries, then it must allow pregnant employees to take the same time off when they are unable to work. Oregon has its own law prohibiting pregnancy discrimination, which works the same way. Pregnancy Leave Under the FMLAThe FMLA gives eligible employees the right to take up to 12 weeks off work in a one-year period when they are unable to work during pregnancy and for prenatal care, but it applies only to employers with at least 50 employees. And employees are eligible for leave only if they have worked for the employer for at least 12 months, and at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months immediately preceding their leave. ("

"text": "Labor Commissioner's Office California Paid Sick Leave: Frequently Asked Questions California Paid Sick Leave: Frequently Asked Questions en Español UPDATENew Questions Concerning the Paid Sick Leave Law Updated March 29, 2017Questions about An Employer’s Use of a “Grandfathered” (Existing) Paid Time Off Plan to Provide Paid Sick Leave1. If my employer already had a paid time off plan that employees could use for paid sick leave before this law went into effect in 2015, was my employer required to provide additional sick days in response to the new law? No. The statute has provisions that allow for what are commonly referred to as “grandfathered” paid time off plans. Basically, in very general terms, and as described in more detail in additional FAQs below, if at the time the law went into effect in 2015, an employer already had an existing paid leave policy or paid time off plan, and if that existing policy or plan made an amount of paid leave available that could be used for at least as many paid sick days as required under the new law, and that could be used under the same conditions as specified in the new law, or that had conditions more favorable to employees, (i.e., that provided more sick days than created under the new law, or that had a more favorable accrual rate, etc. ), the employer is allowed to continue to use that existing paid time off plan in order to satisfy the paid sick leave requirements of the new law.2. If my employer is providing paid sick days through an existing (grandfathered) paid time off policy, does the new law change the rate of pay my employer is required to pay for days that I take off under the existing paid time off policy for reasons other than a paid sick day? No, the paid sick leave law addresses only the rate of pay that must be paid for time taken off as paid sick leave; it does not address or impact the rate of pay for paid time off taken for other purposes, such as vacation time or personal time. Under the paid sick leave law, an employer must pay an employee for time taken for paid sick leave using any of the following calculations: (1) Paid sick time for nonexempt employees shall be calculated in the same manner as the regular rate of pay for the workweek in which the employee uses paid sick time, whether or not the employee actually works overtime in that workweek. ( 2) Paid sick time for nonexempt employees shall be calculated by dividing the employee’s total wages, not including overtime premium pay, by the employee’s total hours worked in the full pay periods of the prior 90 days of employment.

"text": "\"Table of Contents | Print This Page Termination and Severance Issued: September 2010Content last reviewed: January 2018This workbook has been prepared to assist employers and employees in understanding some of their obligations and rights under the Employment Standards Act ( ESA) and its regulations. It does not take the place of the ESA and its regulations and it should not be considered to offer any legal advice on your particular situation. An employee is entitled to notice of termination (or termination pay instead of notice) if they have been continuously employed for at least three months. A person is considered “employed” not only while they are actively working, but also during any time in which they are not working but the employment relationship still exists (for example, time in which the employee is off sick or on leave or on lay-off). The amount of notice to which an employee is entitled depends on their “period of employment”. An employee’s period of employment includes not only all time while the employee is actively working but also any time that they are not working but the employment relationship still exists, with the following exceptions:if a lay-off goes on longer than a temporary lay-off, the employee’s employment is deemed to have been terminated on the first day of the lay-off – any time after that does not count as part of the employee’s period of employment, even though the employee might still be employed for purposes of the “continuously employed for three months” qualification;if two separate periods of employment are separated by more than 13 weeks, only the most recent period counts for purposes of notice of termination. It is possible, in some circumstances, for a person to have been “continuously employed” for three months or more and yet have a period of employment of less than three months. In such circumstances, the employee would be entitled to notice because an employee who has been continuously employed for at least three months is entitled to notice, and the minimum notice entitlement of one week applies to an employee with a period of employment of any length less than one year. The following chart specifies the amount of notice required: Amount of Notice Required Period of Employment Notice Required Less than one year One week One year or more but less than three years Two weeks Three years or more but less than four years Three weeks Four years or more but less than five years Four weeks Five years or more but less than six years Five weeks Six years or more but less than seven years Six weeks Seven years or more but less than eight years Seven weeks Eight years or more Eight weeks Note: Special rules determine the amount of notice required in the case of mass terminations – where 50 or more employees’ employment is terminated at an employer's establishment within a four-week period. For more information see the chapter on “ Termination of Employment ” in Your Guide to the Employment Standards Act, 2000."

Those amendments did not change a whole lot, but did make some changes, including (1) a change to the rate of pay for use of sick leave by non-exempt employees who are compensated based on more than one hourly rate of pay and/or who have compensation in addition to their regular hourly rate; (2) clarification that an employee must work at least 30 days in California for the same employer in order to be eligible for paid sick leave; (3) clarification that an employer who uses an accrual method for providing sick leave to employees may use an accrual rate other than one hour for every 30 hours worked, so long as employees will have at least 24 hours of accrued sick leave available by the 120th day of employment; (4) the addition of an exemption from the law for retired annuitants of a public entity; and (5) clarification that unlimited paid time off policies satisfy the requirements of the law. The DLSE has now updated its Frequently Asked Questions on California’s paid sick leave law. The DLSE states that the update was intended to incorporate the recent amendments to the law and also to provide responses to questions that members of the public have submitted to the DLSE concerning paid sick leave requirements. The updated FAQ are here. For the most part, the updated guidance simply incorporates the amendments to the paid sick leave law. In some areas, this guidance is confusing and hard to follow, particularly on the subject of pre-existing plans that may be grandfathered compared to new plans that use an accrual method other than one hour for every 30 hours worked. Employers should simply focus on making sure that they have current paid sick leave and/or paid time off policies that either frontload at least 24 hours or 3 days (whichever is greater) of paid time off and/or that allow employees to accrue paid sick leave or paid time off at a rate of one hour for every 30 hours worked (or some other accrual rate that ensures that all employees have at least 24 hours of paid leave available by the 120th day of employment). The easiest way to comply is to use the frontload method and simply give all employees 24 hours of paid sick leave up front at the beginning of each year (year beginning July 1, 2015, or anniversary year, or calendar year)."

"text": "Job Searching Salary & Benefits Do You Get Paid Extra for Working on a Holiday? Work Schedules and Pay for Working on a Holiday Share Flip Pin Share Email•••By Alison Doyle Updated April 08, 2018Employees often ask whether they have to work on holidays if they will be paid extra for having to work on a holiday and, if they do have to work, how much overtime pay they are entitled to? When it comes to questions about having to work on a holiday and holiday pay, there isn't one response that covers all workers. Some employees will get a holiday off from work (either paid or unpaid), others will have to work for regular pay, and some employees may be paid extra for working on the holiday. Working on a Holiday Whether you have to work on a holiday depends on whom you work for, whether you are covered by a union contract and company policy regarding holidays. If you work for the federal government, you'll get ten paid holidays each year including New Year's Day, Birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., Washington's Birthday (also known as President’s Day), Memorial Day, Independence Day (4th of July), Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Many private employers follow the same holiday schedule and also provide holiday days off or holiday pay for working on a holiday. Others offer only some of these holidays off or offer holiday pay on only some of those holidays. Full-time employees who get holidays off from work are legally entitled to an “in lieu of” holiday when a holiday falls on a non-workday, such as a Saturday or Sunday. Depending on the employer, the holiday will be acknowledged on the closest workday before or after the non-workday, such as a Friday or Monday, for example."

Heathfield Updated February 28, 2018Paid personal days are paid personal time off from work that an organization voluntarily provides employees as a benefit. The number of paid personal days often accrues to employees based on years of service to the organization and the level of their position. Hours of paid personal time off from work are often accrued over the calendar year, although most companies allow employees to use paid personal days before they are accrued. Other companies, however, keep paid personal days simple—every employee receives the same number of paid personal days each year. Paid personal days are used to provide employees paid time off from work for reasons that may include activities such as parent-teacher conferences, voting, preparing for a family holiday party, visiting healthcare professionals for preventive treatment, taking a close relative for healthcare treatment, staging their home for a potential buyer and so forth. As you can see from the examples, paid personal time off is just that—personal—and is used at the employee’s discretion for needs that are personal in their life. Rarely will two employees use their personal days the same. purposes They are provided by the employer to meet the needs of each individual. Why Might an Employer Provide Paid Personal Time Off? Paid personal days are normally part of an employer’s comprehensive benefits package and supplement other paid time off such as paid sick days, paid vacation days, and paid holidays."

By: Janet Ambrose When it comes to short and long-term disability benefits, there are a lot of gray areas regarding what the Internal Revenue Service considers as taxable income. As each circumstance is different and laws vary from state to state on disability insurance premiums and payments, information provided here is general in nature and is not meant as a substitute for professional tax advice for your particular circumstances. One big question being asked; is disability income taxable? To determine whether or not your short or long-term disability benefits are taxable, you need to review first how the premiums were paid. Review your disability insurance premiums and ascertain whether or not the benefits you receive come from an employer-paid plan or a private plan in which you were the sole contributor. So, is disability income taxable? Under the laws of the Internal Revenue Service, short and long-term disability benefits are not taxable so long as the payments come from a private carrier and were made by you, not your employer. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are not taxable under IRS regulations. California Tax Information —The state of California lists the circumstances under which disability benefits may or may not be taxable."

"text": "\"Disability Social Security Insurance Short-Term Disability Insurance By Michael Bihari, MDUpdated March 05, 2018Share Pin Email Print Jose Luis Pelaez Inc / Getty Images Short-term disability insurance pays a percentage of your salary if you become temporarily disabled, which means that you are not able to work for a short period of time due to sickness or injury not related to your job. Typically, a short-term disability policy provides you with 40 to 70 percent of your pre-disability base salary. Some people have short-term disability insurance through an employer, union, or other professional organization. This type of policy is known as group coverage. You can also purchase an individual policy directly from an insurance company or agent. How Short-Term Disability Insurance Works Most short-term disability policies have the same general design. You, or your employer, pay a monthly premium to be covered. When an illness or injury prevents you from working, you apply for a benefit by speaking with someone in your company’s human resources department or your insurance agent. Most short-term disability policies require evidence from your doctor that explains your condition and estimates how long you’ll be gone from your job. Most likely, there will be a waiting period between the date you leave work and the date when you actually receive your benefits."

While there are companies that voluntarily provide family-leave policies, many stick to what they are required to offer. The legal requirements vary depending on the company's size, your employment status, the state you live in (because some states have broader maternity-leave laws that override the FMLA), among other factors. So if you are expecting – or you've recently given birth or adopted – it pays to become familiar with the family-leave rights you're entitled to at your workplace. This can be confusing to employees and employers alike because family-leave is usually created from a variety of benefits that include sick leave, vacation, holiday time, personal days, short-term disability and unpaid FMLA time. Let's look at how it breaks down. Before we do that though, please note that this post is geared specifically towards using Short-Term Disability (STD) and FMLA for maternity-leave. There are many other occurrences and/or illnesses that may entitle you to use your STD and FMLA benefits. What is Short-Term Disability?

Employee Leave Protection Employee Leave Protection - The FMLA entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage under the same terms and conditions as if the employee had not taken leave. Eligible employees are entitled to: Twelve work weeks of leave in a 12-month period for: the birth of a child and to care for the newborn child within one year of birth; the placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care and to care for the newly placed child within one year of placement; to care for the employee's spouse, child, or parent who has a serious health condition; a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the essential functions of his or her job; any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the employee's spouse, son, daughter, or parent is a covered military member on \"\"covered active duty;\"\" or Twenty-six work weeks of leave during a single 12-month period to care for a covered service-member with a serious injury or illness if the eligible employee is the service-member's spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin (military caregiver leave).

In some instances, leave on a short-term, long-term, or even an hourly basis will be the only effective accommodation for the person with a disability. At other times, leave might be an efficient accommodation, although there may also be additional successful ones that allow the person to remain on their job."

For Short-Term Disability Insurance (STD), the waiting period is typically a few days, but can be as long as a month or more. Many policies also require you to take your sick days before you are allowed to collect your benefits.

"text": "\"9. More about disability-related accommodation Printer-friendly version Previous Next Accommodating the needs of persons with disabilities is one of the most common human rights issues in the workplace. While the principles and concepts described above also apply here, this section highlights specific issues that employers may face when responding to requests for accommodation made by employees with disabilities.a) General principles Section 17 of the Code provides that people with disabilities have the right to have their individual needs accommodated short of undue hardship, to allow them to perform the essential duties of their job. Where a person cannot perform the essential duties, even with accommodation, or where accommodation would amount to undue hardship, a decision not to employ the person would not be discriminatory. Once employers are aware of employee needs, they must take steps to meet the duty to accommodate.b) Identify essential duties and provide accommodation The first step is to separate essential from nonessential job duties. See Section IV-2b) – “Identify and clearly describe essential requirements” for more information about essential job duties. If the person cannot carry out the non-essential job duties, he or she must be accommodated to do so, or these duties must be re-assigned. Accommodation must be provided to enable a person with a disability to perform the essential duties of the job, to the point of undue hardship. Do not reach conclusions about inability to perform essential duties without actually testing the person’s ability. It is not enough to assume that the person cannot perform an essential requirement."

New York state has a temporary disability insurance program requiring employers to provide short-term disability insurance for employees. What this means is that employers are required to provide at least partial wage and income replacement, for up to 26 weeks, to eligible employees who are temporarily unable to work due to disability. Some of the most common reasons for employees to ask for short-term disability leave in NY are an injury (work-related injury or not), or illness or injury that prevents an employee from being able to participate in full-time work. Pregnancy and childbirth are also covered under the law and extremely common reasons to claim short-term disability in New York. If you work in New York state and experience an off-the-job injury or illness, coverage for disability must be given to you through your workplace. Your employer offers those benefits and insurance through a disability benefits insurance carrier who is either authorized by the New York State Workers' Compensation Board or by a small business who decides to write their own policies. If you are unable to work (or lose your job) due to pregnancy or illness or injury, you will be considered \"\"disabled\"\" under the details of your disability policy and be eligible to earn temporary cash benefits. Your expenses related to medical care, however, are up to you to pay. For employed workers, there is a 7-day waiting period for which no benefits are paid."

These benefits may include health insurance, family medical leave, short-term and long-term disability benefits , and sickness and accident benefits. However, these programs can be confusing at the time when you need them most — when you have suffered either an injury, illness, or accident that prevents you from returning to work. The last thing on your mind at this point in time is getting through the required paperwork before you concentrate on your own recovery. However, this is the time that you need to be most diligent in protecting the benefits to which you may be entitled through your employment. Your employer is not required to carry short-term and long-term disability benefits. However, many employers do provide these benefits.

Supplemental policies and settlement programs can help you avoid financial hardship. Find answers to three categories of common questions about the NYS short-term disability insurance program. Where to file a claim form and check the status Covering pregnancy bed rest and maternity leave State laws regarding eligibility – maximum amounts and more NYS Short-Term Disability Claim Forms & Status Completing the New York State short-term disability claim form, following up to determine its status, and filing an appeal can be a confusing process. The reason for the confusion is simple. The state mandates the entitlement program but does not administer it. Many different insurance companies provide state-compliant policies for employers to purchase on behalf of employees. At each step of the application process, you need to communicate with the correct private insurance company."

Many workers in the United States are covered by both the FMLA and a short-term disability plan, while others receive no protection under either of these programs. You can better protect your own interests if you gain a good understanding of the features and benefits of both these programs. Sponsors Workers can quickly use up their paid sick days if they suffer a severe illness or injury. Short-term disability plans are insurance contracts that provide you with an income source when you have expended your paid time off. Some employers and government agencies fund these plans on behalf of employees, but you can also buy your own disability insurance if you are not covered by a group plan. While short-term disability plans are optional, provisions of the FMLA apply to workers in all 50 states. Businesses with 50 or more employees working within a 75-mile radius are required to let workers take time off under FMLA rules. You can miss work under the FMLA if you have been working for your current employer for at least 12 months and you worked at least 1,250 hours during the last 12 months. Income The federal government created the FMLA to prevent employers from firing workers who missed work due to sickness or injury."

Answered May 14, 2016 · Upvoted by Cliff Gilley, JD cum laude, Seattle University Class of 2000 · Author has 7.5k answers and 36m answer views Employers may provide paid leave in their discretion in whatever amount and under whatever terms as they see fit. All FMLA guarantees is that if you take a leave of absence (whether paid or not) due to an event covered by FMLA, your employer is required to allow you to return to work without being demoted or transferred to another location and without any loss of pay or medical benefits going forward, upon the conclusion of that leave, provided the total amount of leave does not exceed the time (twelve weeks in most cases, twenty-six weeks in certain cases involving members of the armed forces) allowed by FMLA. Employers must maintain the health coverage of the employee during leave, although the employee may be required to pay the employee’s portion of the insurance premium during unpaid leave. An employer may require you to use up paid leave available to you (such as PTO, sick time, or maternity leave, if specifically offered) before affording you unpaid leave. The FMLA time limit starts at the time the employee stops working, not at the time the employee stops being paid, so if you take three weeks of paid leave and six weeks of short-term disability under an optional insurance plan, you only get three weeks of unpaid leave before the FMLA eligibility runs out and your employer is no longer required to allow you to return to work without consequences or maintain your medical insurance. Employers are free to provide leave on terms more generous than those required by FMLA."

"text": "Oregon Maternity and Paternity Leave Photo Credit: Creative Commons READ MORE: FMLA, Maternity leave, Pregnancy Oregon is one of the more progressive states in the country when it comes to caregiver leave and employee rights. Although it is not one of the states offering any maternity leave laws providing pay during maternity leave, you can theoretically receive up to 24 weeks of unpaid, job-protected time off if you qualify (though most women will probably qualify for a maximum of 20 weeks of unpaid time off). Special Note on Portland, OR City and Multnomah County Employees Starting in January 2016, Portland city employees of both genders are eligible for six weeks of fully paid time off after the birth, adoption, or foster care guardianship of a child. In mid 2015, a similar law was passed for Multnomah employees. In both cases, the leave must be taken continuously at some point during the first 12 months of the child’s arrival. To be eligible for this leave, employees must have been working for the government for six months prior to the leave. How Much Maternity Leave Do I Get? Two different laws cover your maternity leave: FMLA (a federal law) and OFLA (the Oregon Family Leave Act). Under FMLA, or the Family Medical Leave Act, parents are entitled to up to 12 weeks of job-protected, unpaid maternity and paternity leave (the federal law is gender neutral) to care and bond for a newborn or newly adopted child. However, only certain employees are eligible and there are certain criteria you must meet, such as having worked for at least 1,250 hours at a company which employs at least 50 employees within 75 miles of your work site (i.e. this does not necessarily mean you have to be a full-time employee)."

"text": "Abstract Few systematic studies have been published comparing the expression and distribution of endothelial cell (EC) markers in different vascular beds in normal human tissues. We investigated by immunohistochemistry the expression of CD31, CD34, von Willebrand factor (v WF), and Fli-1 in EC of the major organs and large vessels. Tissue samples obtained from autopsies and biopsy specimens were routinely processed and stained immunohistochemically for CD31, CD34, and v WF. Biopsy material was also stained immunohistochemically for Fli-1, D2-40, and Lyve-1. The expression pattern of the markers was heterogeneous in some of the organs studied. In the kidney, fenestrated endothelium of the glomeruli strongly expressed CD31 and CD34 but was only focally positive or completely negative for v WF. Alveolar wall capillaries of the lung strongly stained for CD31 and CD34 but were usually negative for v WF. The staining intensity for v WF increased gradually with the vessel caliber in the lung. Sinusoids of the spleen and liver were diffusely positive for CD31. They were negative for CD34 in the spleen and only expressed CD34 in the periportal area in the liver."

New blood and lymphatic vessels form through processes called angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, respectively. Angiogenesis is regulated by both activator and inhibitor molecules. More than a dozen different proteins have been identified as angiogenic activators and inhibitors. Levels of expression of angiogenic factors reflect the aggressiveness of tumor cells. The discovery of angiogenic inhibitors should help to reduce both morbidity and mortality from carcinomas. Thousands of patients have received antiangiogenic therapy to date."

Share Email Feedback Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication Media Gallery Tables References Background Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is characterized by systemic activation of blood coagulation, which results in generation and deposition of fibrin, leading to microvascular thrombi in various organs and contributing to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). [ 1, 2]Derangement of the fibrinolytic system further contributes to intravascular clot formation, but in some cases, accelerated fibrinolysis may cause severe bleeding. Hence, a patient with DIC can present with a simultaneously occurring thrombotic and bleeding problem, which obviously complicates the proper treatment. The subcommittee on DIC of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis has suggested the following definition for DIC: “An acquired syndrome characterized by the intravascular activation of coagulation with loss of localization arising from different causes. It can originate from and cause damage to the microvasculature, which if sufficiently severe, can produce organ dysfunction.” [ 3]DIC is estimated to be present in as many as 1% of hospitalized patients. [ 4] DIC is not itself a specific illness; rather, it is a complication or an effect of the progression of other illnesses. It is always secondary to an underlying disorder and is associated with a number of clinical conditions, generally involving activation of systemic inflammation. Such conditions include the following [ 5]: Sepsis and severe infection Trauma (neurotrauma)Organ destruction (eg, pancreatitis)Malignancy (solid and lymphoproliferative/myeloproliferative malignancies)Severe transfusion reactions Obstetric complications – Amniotic fluid embolism; abruptio placentae; hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets (HELLP) syndrome; eclampsia Retained dead fetus syndrome Vascular abnormalities - Kasabach-Merritt syndrome and large vascular aneurysms Severe hepatic failure Severe toxic reactions - Envenomations, transfusion reactions, and transplant rejection Heat stroke and hyperthermia Hemorrhagic skin necrosis (purpura fulminans) [ 6, 7]Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (rare) [ 8]DIC is most commonly observed in severe sepsis and septic shock. Indeed, the development and severity of DIC correlate with mortality in severe sepsis. ["

In the United States, it is currently the third most common gynecologic cancer following those of the uterine corpus and ovary, with 12,900 new cases and 4100 deaths estimated to have occurred in 2015. 1 While the incidence of cervical cancer has been steadily decreasing in the United States, with an annual percentage change of –2.5% between 1992 and 2011, 2 the survival rate for cervical cancer has not improved substantially since 1975. 1 Worldwide, there were 527,600 new cases of cervical cancer and 265,700 cervical cancer-related deaths in 2012. 3 Incidence and death rates of cervical cancer are particularly high in less developed countries, where it is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and third leading cause of death in women based on 2012 data. 3Squamous cell carcinoma, which comprised more than 90% of primary cervical cancers before 1960, has decreased steadily in incidence, in large part owing to effective cytologic detection and subsequent eradication of its precursors. The incidence of cervical adenocarcinoma, in contrast, has increased significantly, with a reported 22.5% increase in age-adjusted incidence between 1973 and 1996. 4In addition to squamous and glandular neoplasms, neuroendocrine, mesenchymal, and metastatic tumors can also involve the cervix. New techniques in diagnosis have helped to modify histologic classifications. In particular, the use of immunohistochemistry has improved diagnostic accuracy."

Abstract Schwannomas have been variably observed to be glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) and occasionally keratin positive, with antibodies reacting with multiple keratins (pankeratins, keratin cocktail (CK), but specific keratin polypeptides (K) have not been examined for in schwannoma. Since we observed CK positivity in retroperitoneal schwannomas, we wanted to study a large group of retroperitoneal and peripheral schwannomas with GFAP, CK and Ks to explore the frequency and biologic background of this finding. We immunohistochemically evaluated a large number of retroperitoneal ( n =115) and peripheral schwannomas ( n =22) for GFAP, 16 individual K and AE1/AE3 keratin cocktail. The great majority (104/115, 90%) of retroperitoneal schwannomas were positive for GFAP, and 72/104 (69%) cases were positive for AE1/AE3, often extensively. Both markers highlighted the cellular Antoni A areas, particularly adjacent to the capsule, myxoid or degenerative areas, and perivascularly. Most cases 87/104 (84%) stained for both AE1/AE3 and GFAP at least focally. No tumors stained for keratins that were GFAP negative."

"text": "\"Difference Between Epithelial and Endothelial Cells Posted on December 14, 2011 by Naveen Epithelial vs Endothelial Cells Epithelial and endothelial cells are far too different types of cells forming different types of tissues in animals. The location, form, and function are different in these two types of tissues. However, it would be fair enough for an average person to commit some errors in understanding due to being unfamiliar with these terms. Therefore, some simplified and summarized information, as in this article, would be ideal to understand the characteristics of these important cell types. In addition, the presented differences between the characteristics of these two types of cells would make it more sensible to the reader. Epithelial Cells Epithelial cells form the epithelium, which usually lines the surfaces of the body including the most widely spread and the largest organ of the body, skin. Epithelium is one of the four basic types of tissues; others are muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and connective tissue. In addition to the lining of the skin, the epithelial cells line many glands and cavities of the body. The epithelium is formed by different layers of epithelial cells, which are packed tightly in each layer without leaving any space between cells. These densely packed cells resemble the bricks of a wall, as there are almost no intercellular spaces with tight junctions and desmosomes."

Endothelial and epithelial cells that make up the tissues in humans and animals are of epithelial origin, but there is a major difference between the location, structure, and function of these cells. However, both the cells that form the tissue act like an interface between the underlying layer and the outside environment. Endothelial cells lie 'inside' the body as they are located in the blood vessels. On the other hand, epithelial cells are often described as lying 'outside' the body as they also coat the outer layer (epidermis) of the skin.

( B) The oxidative process occurring within living cells by which the chemical energy of organic molecules is released in a series of metabolic steps, some occurring in the cytoplasm and some within the mitochondria, involving the consumption of oxygen and the liberation of carbon dioxide and water. aka - aerobic respiration2pulmonary ventilation The process of exchange of air between the lungs and the atmosphere; it is sometimes divided into two components: (1) pulmonary ventilation - the total exchange of air, usually measured in liters/minute, and (2) alveolar ventilation - the effective ventilation of the alveoli in which gas exchange with the blood actually takes place; the movement of air is accomplished by the muscles of respiration under the autonomic control of the respiratory center in the medulla.3external respiration = alveolar gas exchange = pulmonary gas exchange The interchange by diffusion (through the alveolar walls) along concentration gradients of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveolar air and the blood (plasma and suspended erythrocytes).4internal respiration = tissue gas exchange The interchange by diffusion along concentration gradients of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the cells of the body and the interstitial fluid surrounding them, which in one sense is a process of nutrition.5cellular respiration The oxidative process occurring within living cells by which the chemical energy of organic molecules is released in a series of metabolic steps with the production of ATP, some occurring in the cytoplasm and some within the mitochondria, involving the consumption of oxygen and the liberation of carbon dioxide and water; it is generally divided into two stages: (1) anaerobic glycolysis in the cytoplasm followed by (2) the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation at the electron transport chain in the mitochondria. aka - aerobic respiration6bulk flow The movement of volumes of water and the solutes (unrestricted by size or charge) dissolved in that water under the influence of hydrostatic or osmotic pressures between cells in the tissues; the movement occurs rapidly through intercellular clefts (not across or through cell membranes); it is the major means of transport across capillary walls.7diffusion The spontaneous intermingling of molecules or the particles of two or more substances as a result of random thermal motion within a solution (gas or liquid); it is the major means of transport for uncharged molecules across or through cell membranes; it is a form of passive transport which does not require additional ATP expenditure; the rate is dependent on the concentration gradient and the surface area available. aka - simple diffusion, free diffusion8upper respiratory system = conducting portion The system of airways for ventilating the lungs, consisting of the nasal and oral cavities, the pharynx, the larynx, and the trachea which divides into a series of ever-smaller branches (about 23 anatomical divisions are recognized): the main bronchi, lobar bronchi, segmental bronchi, and so on, to the smallest bronchioles which do not have alveoli, the terminal bronchioles; all these branches have smooth muscle in their walls and are lined with bronchial epithelium, either pseudostratified columnar, columnar, or cuboidal; although the base airway diameter decreases with branching, the overall or total cross-sectional diameter increases tremendously so that peripheral resistance to air flow decreases as the air moves closer to the alveoli; the volume of the air in this system of airways is not available for actual gas exchange, so it has been referred to as the anatomic dead space (normally that is ~0.15 L, i.e., ~30% of a tidal volume).9lower respiratory system = respiratory portion That portion of lung tissue where external respiration, actual gas exchange, takes place; all included structures have alveoli present in them; the structures involved include 2-5 \"\"generations\"\" or anatomical divisions lined by cuboidal epithelium with smooth muscle in their walls termed respiratory bronchioles, though minimal gas exchange occurs through their walls, then the final branches from the respiratory bronchioles, which have no muscle in their walls, and are lined by a squamous epithelium, the alveolar ducts, and, finally, the alveolar sacs and individual alveoli, which are lined by alveolar type I and type II squamous cells10List the anatomical and physiological defenses the body uses to provide clean \"\"sterile\"\" air to the respiratory membranes of the lungs. ( 1) the conducting portion of the airways are lined with mucous membranes: (a) mucous traps dust particles and microbes (b) mucous contains lysozyme and other non-specific resistance factors (c) mucous contains Ig A class antibodies for immune resistance (d) much of the mucous lining is ciliated (trachea to smaller bronchioles) and ciliary motion sweeps trapped dust particles and microbes upward (the \"\"mucociliary elevator\"\") to be swallowed and sterilized in the acid bath of the stomach (e) beneath the mucous membranes lining the conducting portion of airways are collections of lymphatic tissue, e.g., the tonsils, to provide immune defensive cells to prevent infection (2) the respiratory portion of the airways where gas exchange occurs are patrolled by alveolar macrophages = \"\"dust cells\"\" which will phagocytize and attempt to destroy any dust particles or microbes which reach this location11Sketch and label: A frontal section of the thorax illustrating the organs, membranes, and (cavities) spaces involved in ventilation. The Frontal Section is on the right. To answer the question you need only name the lungs, diaphragm and intercostal muscles, parietal and visceral pleural membranes and the pleural cavities.

"text": "7Conjunctiva Normal Anatomy I. The conjunctiva ( Fig. 7.1) is a mucous membrane, similar to mucous membranes elsewhere in the body, whose surface is composed of nonkeratinizing squamous epithelium, intermixed with goblet (mucus) cells, Langerhans’ cells (dendritic-appearing cells expressing class II antigen), and occasional dendritic melanocytes. Stem cells for the epithelium are located near the limbus, and their loss can result in exhaustion of the conjunctival epithelial population. Such stem cell loss may have many causes, including the use of mitomycin C in glaucoma filtration surgery, which may be exhibited as a late complication. A. Idiopathic stem cell deficiency is rare, most commonly found in women, and may be familial in some cases. Patients exhibit severe photophobia and, on clinical examination, have corneal vascularization accompanied by loss of the limbal palisades of Vogt, hazy peripheral corneal epithelium, and the presence of conjunctival goblet cells by impression cytology. A conjunctivalized pannus may develop on the cornea of those with total limbal stem cell deficiency. Characterization of this tissue demonstrates that it is not corneal, as evidenced by failure to stain for cornea-specific K12 m RNA and protein, but rather, it is conjunctival, as evidenced by the presence of goblet cells, the weak expression of K3, and the strong expression of K19. B. The homeostasis of the conjunctiva is dependent, in part, on the maintenance of a normal tear film, which is composed of lipid, aqueous, and mucoid layers (the mucoid layer is most closely apposed to the corneal epithelium and the lipid layer is at the tear film : air interface). Multiple disorders are associated with abnormal tear composition, quantity and/or quality, and secondary ocular surface changes.1."

Affected infants can have temporary symptoms that resolve soon after birth, such as growth restriction, and permanent disabilities, including neurological impairment. Passive immunization of pregnant women with primary HCMV infection is a promising treatment to prevent congenital disease. To understand the effects of sustained viral replication on the placenta and passive transfer of protective antibodies, we performed immunohistological analysis of placental specimens from women with untreated congenital infection, HCMV-specific hyperimmune globulin treatment, and uninfected controls. In untreated infection, viral replication proteins were found in trophoblasts and endothelial cells of chorionic villi and uterine arteries. Associated damage included extensive fibrinoid deposits, fibrosis, avascular villi, and edema, which could impair placental functions. Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptor fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (Flt1) were up-regulated, and amniotic fluid contained elevated levels of soluble Flt1 (s Flt1), an antiangiogenic protein, relative to placental growth factor. With hyperimmune globulin treatment, placentas appeared uninfected, vascular endothelial growth factor and Flt1 expression was reduced, and s Flt1 levels in amniotic fluid were lower. An increase in the number of chorionic villi and blood vessels over that in controls suggested compensatory development for a hypoxia-like condition. Taken together the results indicate that antibody treatment can suppress HCMV replication and prevent placental dysfunction, thus improving fetal outcome."

It is present on almost every part of the human body, hence it has several important functions. For example, it has roles in protection, absorption, secretion, and sensation. Its dominant presence also suggests that there are various types of epithelia in order to cater for the varied human body structures. The main classifications of epithelium are simple and stratified, each one being further divided into several subtypes according to two main factors: cell shape and apical surface specialization. This article will describe stratified (multi-layered) epithelium, focusing on its general characteristics and each major sub-type. Stratified squamous epithelium - histological slide Epithelium Functions and location Epithelium is one of the four basic types of tissues composing the human body. It is an avascular type of tissue composed of cells with little extracellular matrix, connected by strong intercellular adhesions. They have the appearance of cellular sheets. Epithelium is present almost everywhere in the human body; it covers body surfaces, it lines internal cavities and tubes, forms the parenchyma of glands and can function as sense receptors."

However, amino acids are structurally characterised by the fact that they contain nitrogen (N), whereas fats and carbohydrates do not. Therefore, only amino acids are capable of forming tissues, organs, muscles, skin and hair. The importance of amino acids as the precursors of enzymes and neurotransmitters is often underestimated. As such, amino acids regulate almost all of the metabolic processes in the human body, and they are essential for a healthy body. You will learn Which significant benefits various amino acids provide to the human body,how amino acids are classified and why it is useful to be aware of this,which meats and plant foods contain lots of amino acids,Examples of health benefits provided by three important amino acids L-arginine (cardiovascular health), L-methionine (hair and joint health) and L-glutathione (anti-aging)amino acid health benefits Amino acids are extremely versatile.

These are called isotropic. 3 Others, having an internal submicroscopic structure, (i) with elements having one dimension longer than the others, and (ii) these elements in an orderly arrangement, alter the plane of light vibration, and are called birefringent or anisotropic. 4 The light leaving such anisotropic objects can be shown to have had its polarization plane altered by passing it through another polarizing filter, used as an analyser. 5 The plane of the analyser is set perpendicular to the plane of the light transmitted through the polarizer to the object. Thus all altered light resulting from the double refraction/anisotropy of the object, except one plane (the analyser's), is blocked. The anisotropic parts appear light against a dark background. 6 Orderly biological structures, showing anisotropy in polarized light, are collagen fibres, muscle fibres, bone matrix, cell membranes, crystals, etc. Stains, e.g., picrosirius red for collagen, can be used to enhance the effect, which is useful for assessing fibrosis in liver, lung, and kidney.2 X-ray diffraction l Used to determine the molecular structure of crystallizable materials."

Endotoxin testing of biologicals manufactured in bacteria is a necessity to ensure that the therapeutic product is endotoxin free. We offer endotoxin services at a several stages in the drug manufacturing and production process including: Bulk Lot Release Testing Final Product Release Testing Raw Material Testing Limulous amoebocyte lysate (LAL) is the test performed as this is based in the biology of the horseshoe crab which produces LAL enzymes in blood cells to bind and inactivate endotoxin from invading bacteria. This was accepted by the US FDA as an endotoxin test method in 1983. USP requires pooled testing of a production lot for the presence of bacterial endotoxin. LAL - endotoxin tests with a variety of assay options including: Quantitative and qualitative testing Gel-clot method (LAL test)Chromogenic methods (USP Chromogenic)The Gel-clot method and the chromogenic method are approved for all phases of therapeutic product development. It is appropriate for multiple types of therapeutics including monoclonal antibodies, vaccines, recombinant proteins, cell therapy and gene therapy. The gel clot test with the LAL test is for endotoxin detection only with GMP format typically being used for lot release testing of final products for injection in humans. The USP chromogenic method is based on the activation of a serine protease (coagulase) by the endotoxin, which is the rate-limiting step of the clotting cascade. This is a quantitative method and measures the activation of the serine protease as opposed to the end result of this activation, which is clotting."

Some people though, can be infected with a bacterium that normally causes a disease and not show any harmful effects at all, people like this are called carriers. A sad example of this was Typhoid Mary who was identified as a carrier for typhoid fever in 1906. Some bacteria attack us in a manner that is not immediately painful in fact the pain may not be apparent for years. The primary example of this is tooth decay. Tooth decay is caused by dental plaque which is a build up of 4 main species of bacteria on the teeth around the gums: Streptococcus sanguis, S. sobrinus, S. mitis and S. mutans. In later stages, this plaque can also involve species of Fusobacterium, Borrelia and Actinomycetes. Tooth decay results from the corrosive action of organic acids released by the bacteria as they metabolise sugars in your food as part of their normal life.

"text": "Hippocrates famously said, “All disease begins in the gut.” I think we can narrow it down further: much modern disease begins in the mucus. In a recent post, I put up this picture: A depleted mucosal layer leads to inflammation and gut permeability. It’s from a paper on the role of antimicrobial peptides in maintaining gut health. [ 1] The point of the left panel is that a healthy gut is characterized by a thick mucosal layer that shields our intestinal and immune cells from direct contact with bacteria. The inner mucus layer is infused with antimicrobial peptides to minimize its bacterial content. The outer mucus layer contains a population of friendly mucin-degrading bacteria – symbionts like Akkermansia who evolved to feed on our mucus. These friendly bacteria provide another layer of defense against infectious pathogens; bacteria tend to be quite good at keeping out competitors. Akkermansia has been found to prevent obesity. In an unhealthy gut, on the other hand, the mucosal layer often gets stripped away."

"text": "Nutritional Protocol for the Treatment of Intestinal Permeability Defects and Related Conditions The human gut contains enough endotoxin, inflammatory mediators, and bacteria to kill the host many times over. By Corey Resnick, NDPrinter Friendly Page Abstract Under healthy conditions, the intestinal mucosa permits the absorption of vital nutrients from the gut lumen while presenting a barrier against the passage of pathogenic substances into the body. Leaky gut syndrome describes a pathological increase in permeability of the intestinal mucosa that causes increased absorption of intestinally derived endotoxin, antigens, inflammatory mediators, and, in some cases, intact bacteria. These agents can cause local and systemic reactions associated with a broad range of acute and chronic diseases. In some cases, atrophic changes in the mucosal epithelium can lead to the seemingly paradoxical condition of decreased permeability and malabsorption of essential nutrients concurrent with increased permeability and absorption of pathogenic macromolecules. Research indicates that certain nutritional factors may help to support mucosal health and promote normal intestinal permeability (IP). These factors include antioxidants, mucosal nutrients, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and dietary fiber. Some of these nutrients have also been shown to lead to improvement in diseases associated with leaky gut syndrome. This article outlines evidence of efficacy for a number of these agents. It also includes recommendations for a nutritional protocol to treat IP defects."

In contrast, Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the violet dye and are colored red or pink.

"text": "\"Difference Between Endotoxin and Exotoxin Posted on May 23, 2012 by admin Endotoxin vs Exotoxin Toxigenesis is the process of producing toxins by pathogenic bacteria. It is one of main mechanisms of developing diseases by bacteria. Two kinds of toxins; i.e. endotoxins and exotoxins are produced, and those can be distinguished by their chemical nature. Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides and exotoxins are proteins. Endotoxins In gram negative bacteria, endotoxin exists in the outer membrane of the cell wall. Endotoxins are lipopolysaccharides, which can be seen in gram negative pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Pseudomonas, Neisseria, Haemophilus influenza, and Vibrio cholerae. Bacteria should not be essentially pathogenic to have endotoxins. These toxins are released from growing bacteria or released due to activities of certain antibiotics, or at the function of phagocytic digestion . This complex lipopolysaccharide has core polysaccharide chain, O-specific polysaccharide side chain and a lipid component. In these lipopolysaccharides, the lipid portion (Lipid A) has the toxicity while polysaccharide portion has the immunogenicity."

Antibiotics are isolated from mold (and some bacterial) cultures and some of their bacteriotoxic or bacteriostatic properties are exploited medicinally to combat infections. Mycotoxins are also products of secondary metabolism of molds. They are not essential to maintaining the life of the mold cell in a primary way (at least in a friendly world), such as obtaining energy or synthesizing structural components, informational molecules or enzymes. They are products whose function seems to be to give molds a competitive advantage over other mold species and bacteria. Mycotoxins are nearly all cytotoxic, disrupting various cellular structures such as membranes, and interfering with vital cellular processes such as protein, RNA and DNA synthesis. Of course they are also toxic to the cells of higher plants and animals, including humans. Mycotoxins vary in specificity and potency for their target cells, cell structures or cell processes by species and strain of the mold that produces them. Higher organisms are not specifically targeted by mycotoxins, but seem to be caught in the crossfire of the biochemical warfare among mold species and molds and bacteria vying for the same ecological niche. Not all molds produce mycotoxins, but numerous species do (including some found indoors in contaminated buildings)."

Somatic cells have antibodies on the cell surface to target exotoxins and bind to them, preventing the invasion of somatic cells. The binding of the exotoxin and antibody forms an antigen-antibody interaction and the exotoxins are targeted for destruction by the immune system. If this interaction does not happen, the exotoxins bind to the exotoxin receptors that are on the cell surface and causes death of the host cell by inhibiting protein synthesis. This figure also shows that the application of heat or chemicals to exotoxins can result in the deactivation of exotoxins. The deactivated exotoxins are called toxoids and they are not harmful to somatic cells. An exotoxin is a toxin secreted by bacteria. ["

This procedure is useful in dealing with a number of diseases but carrying out this procedure on a daily basis is generally not recommended under normal health conditions. Basically Enema is a procedure in which fluids are introduced in the rectum or colon through the anus causing rapid expansion of the lower intestinal tract that helps in the process of evacuation. Enema treatment works as an effective natural remedy for bowel stimulation during chronic constipation. This home treatment is also used in case of Ulcerative Colitis, Hemorrhoids and other such bowel problems. Home remedies for Enema while carrying out Enema at home require the use of certain Enema equipments like Enema bag, Enema syringe, Enema Hose, Stop Cock etc. The liquid being used for Enema procedure should be kept at body temperature to avoid any damage or discomfort. Enema home remedies can make use of a number of herbs and other natural ingredients. Causes of Enema Enema procedure helps to induce bowel movements and promotes good bacteria in the colon to treat various colon diseases like Constipation, Hemorrhoids, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Intestinal Parasites, Prostate Cancer, Gallstones etc."

Constipation Definition Constipation is an acute or chronic condition in which bowel movements occur less often thanusual or consist of hard, dry stools that are painful or difficult to pass. Bowel habits vary, but an adult who has not had a bowel movement in three days or a child who has not had a bowelmovement in four days is considered constipated. Description Constipation is one of the most common medical complaints in the United States. Constipationcan occur at any age, and is more common among individuals who resist the urge to move theirbowels at their body's signal. This often happens when children start school or enter daycare andfeel shy about asking permission to use the bathroom. Constipation is more common in women than in men and is especially apt to occur duringpregnancy. Age alone does not increase the frequency of constipation, but elderly people (especially women) are more likely to suffer from constipation. Although this condition is rarely serious, it can lead to:bowel obstructionchronic constipationhemorrhoids (a mass of dilated veins in swollen tissue around the anus)hernia (a protrusion of an organ through a tear in the muscle wall)spastic colitis ( irritable bowel syndrome, a condition characterized by alternating periods of diarrhea and constipation)laxative dependency Chronic constipation may be a symptom of colorectal cancer, depression, diabetes,diverticulosis (small pouches in the muscles of the large intestine), lead poisoning, or Parkinson's disease. In someone who is elderly or disabled, constipation may be a symptom of bowel impaction, a more serious condition in which feces are trapped in the lower part of the large intestine."

So decided to write a detailed post about constipation in dogs specifically. I tried my best to cover all the important aspect and make it as brief and informative as possible. Constipation is actually difficulty in defecating or infrequent defecation due to some physiological and pathological condition. In constipation dogs become unable to defecate due to accumulation of hard and dry faeces in the colon ( last part of intestine ) and this may result into severe problems if not treated properly. But in most of the cases constipation can be easily treated. If not treated if may cause severe pathological problem ( i.e. distension/ballooning of rectum). Some Common Reason of Constipation in Dogs: The most important causes of constipation are dry food and parasitic infections and others are: Insufficient fiber content in diet Lack of exercise Ingestion of bones, stones, rock and dirt Tumor in anus Pain during defecation ( Dogs avoid to defecate due to pain and faeces accumulate and get dried )Side affects of medicines Dehydration & Electrolyte imbalance Enlarged prostate gland Blocked or abscessed anal sac How to Diagnose: Before diving into the treatment and remedies section, I want to share some diagnostic techniques and tips for proper and timely diagnosis of constipation.

This body is the housing of the spirit and operating force of life. With the spirit commanding a good clean structure, a smother, happier life is evident. The scriptures tell us that God will not dwell in an unclean tabernacle. We have been told that the body is a temple, or tabernacle of God. This structure must be kept in good repair, and clean, to be a comfortable abode. [ HHH p.128]Symptoms:1."

"text": "\"Health Conditions Constipation Share | Bookmark General Description Causes Wellness Program Supplements Remedies General Description You are suffering from constipation if your bowel movements are infrequent, uncomfortable, and the stools are small and hard. Frequency of bowel movements varies, but regularity is important. For optimum health you should generally have one to three good bowel movements daily. It is quite surprising, however, that many people have a bowel movement only every few days, or even once a week. This is certainly not good, as decaying fecal material and toxins in your intestines can contribute to many other diseases. For your health, it is vital to get fecal material out as quickly as possible. We firmly believe the old adage \"\"death begins in the colon.\"\" Constipation also inhibits the flow and absorption of vital nutrients in the body, and thereby may affect one's overall health. Prolonged bouts with constipation can lead to other health problems, such as Hemorrhoids, Varicose Veins, indigestion, Bad Breath, Headaches and Body Odor. The blockage caused by the constipation forces the blood under more pressure than normal through certain veins and capillaries, causing the hemorrhoids and varicose veins."

That’s right – I gave myself a Bulletproof Coffee ® enema.

A coffee enema is an ancient herbal and folklore hydrotherapy procedure in which you fill an enema bag or bucket with a mix of water and coffee, then feed this mixture into your colon via a tube, hold it inside for about 15 to 30 minutes, then expel it into the toilet.

The medical options depend on the cause of the condition. Every dog should have free access to fresh water at all times. Sometimes, constipation can be treated with laxatives to draw water into the intestines and soften the feces. Enemas can also be used to evacuate the bowel. Another potential treatment option is adding milk to the dog’s diet. The lactose in milk is difficult for dogs to digest; it pulls fluid into the bowel and stimulates intestinal motility. Typically, milk causes diarrhea in adult dogs. However, giving a constipated dog an amount of milk that would otherwise cause a non-constipated dog to develop diarrhea can be an inexpensive and effective laxative. Foods with extremely high fiber content, such as unprocessed wheat bran or unsweetened pureed canned pumpkin, can be added to the dog’s diet to promote defecation."

Bowel dysfunction, especially opioid-induced constipation is one of the most common and persistent side effect in treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain with opioid analgesics. This results in low treatment efficacy and treatment compliance. Patients are exposed to additional burden and stress . Recent studies shows patients receiving a combination of Oxycodone/naloxone. the pain severity level was progressively reduced, at the same time bowel function was improving and overall patient satisfactions was increased. I'm mentioning this because you have tried most of the other options available. Discuss with your doctor about the above mentioned combination to help you with management of pain and constipation. Hope the answer helps you."

After the birth, the puppies are very fragile and require around-the-clock nursing for the first two weeks. Most litters contain only four or five puppies. In order to cover the costs and time required to raise each litter, the puppies have to be priced much higher than most purebred puppies."

"text": "\"The bulldog is also called the English bulldog and the British bulldogs. English bulldog mothers often have to have caesarean sections, which can cause problems in nursing and caring for newborn puppies. More than other breeds, the bulldog mother may need your help with nursing, feeding and weaning pups. Bulldog Pregnancy and Birth A typical bulldog pregnancy lasts around 63 days. The bulldog's physical shape means that many dogs are unable to give birth to their puppies without assistance -- the female bulldog's pelvis is very narrow and each puppy's head is very large. caesarean births are very common with this breed. When puppies are born by caesarean section, the mother dog does not get the full physical and hormonal cues telling her body that the puppies have been born. After a caesarean section, you will need to milk the mother dog's colostrum to feed the newborn pups. This special milk, produced only for a short time after birth, contains antibodies that are important to the health of the newborn pups. If the mother's colostrum is unavailable, you can substitute a commercial colostrum formula."

You know your walks will be an important part of your bonding, and you look forward to his company. But when is it safe to hit the road? Vaccines Before you start walking your puppy around the block or taking him to the dog park, make sure he has had 3 to 4 full sets of puppy vaccines, including for rabies. On average, this will be completed between 12 and 16 weeks of age. Walking your puppy in areas frequented by other dogs can expose him to some viruses and parasites that are potentially fatal, including parvo. Although protocols vary, a puppy is usually fully vaccinated against a variety of serious diseases by 20 weeks. Once puppy is vaccinated, start by going on short walks and try to avoid rough or hot pavement."

A dog will become part of the family and knowing how the pet will fit in with other family members is key. While many breeds can be properly trained to live with babies and young children, some are more suited to kid habitats than others from the start. First decide on the timing for adding a dog. If you are heading into a hectic time, like the holidays for instance, you may be wiser to wait. Getting a dog settled in, especially a needy puppy, will be difficult when dealing with decorations, parties and loads of visitors. Also, if you dealing with big transitions with your little one it may be best to postpone, for example during potty training or moving out of the crib into a toddler bed. Puppy or dog?

He may look fierce and frightening to some, but bulldog owners know he's a big softy who prefers chilling out to going out, which is why exercise and diet are so important for maintaining his ideal weight. Weight It is one thing to know what your bulldog should weigh and quite another to keep him at his ideal weight. Although the bulldog puppy is high-spirited, and loves to romp and cuddle with you at home, once he reaches adulthood he still wants his cuddles, but exercise, especially the outdoor variety, is something he'd prefer to live without. If a bulldog was a person his idea of a perfect day would be lying in a hammock while his staff bring him food and drinks. However, if you're going to stop him from piling on the pounds, you will need to be firm and establish a regular outdoors exercise routine early on in his life. Ideally, a female bulldog should weigh between 48 and 50 lbs, and a male around 52 to 55 lbs. Weighing Your Bulldog Puppy Keeping an eye on your puppy's weight over the first year should help to prevent excessive weight gain. At Bulldog Information, the weight chart shows that the average puppy weighs about 5 lbs at 1 month old. He goes through a growth spurt between 3 and 5 months, when his weight increases from around 15 to 30 lbs."

Mama Bulldog must recover from both her pregnancy and a C-section.credit: Willee Cole/i Stock/Getty Images Bulldog Breeding The Bulldog Club of America makes no bones about breeding. It states that a bulldog should not be bred before reaching the age of 1.5 years, nor after the age of 5 unless a vet clears her health. Most female bulldogs should not have more than three pregnancies in their lifetimes. Pregnancy takes a toll on the bodies of all dogs, but perhaps none so much as the English bulldog.

The English bulldog is small in height but wide, thick and strong. Its stateside cousin, the American bulldog, is taller with a more slender build and narrower head. The French bulldog, commonly called the Frenchie, is considerably smaller than either the English or the American bulldog; it was bred for show and companionship, and is closer in size to a Yorkshire terrier than an English bulldog. Appearance Height: An English bulldog should range between 12 and 16 inches in height when fully grown. Interestingly, and unlike with many other breeds, dogs at the shorter end of the spectrum receive higher marks in dog shows. The American bulldog should grow much taller than this, roughly 20 to 28 inches at the withers in adulthood. French bulldogs are the stoutest of the three, standing at least a couple of inches shorter than their English counterparts. Weight: A full-grown English bulldog should weigh roughly 50 to 55 pounds."

While some of the presentation may seem somewhat dated, the basic concepts are still helpful for researchers who must use enzymes but who have little background in enzymology. Chemical Nature of Enzymes All known enzymes are proteins. They are high molecular weight compounds made up principally of chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. See Figure 1. Enzymes can be denatured and precipitated with salts, solvents and other reagents. They have molecular weights ranging from 10,000 to 2,000,000. Many enzymes require the presence of other compounds - cofactors - before their catalytic activity can be exerted. This entire active complex is referred to as the holoenzyme; i.e., apoenzyme (protein portion) plus the cofactor (coenzyme, prosthetic group or metal-ion-activator) is called the holoenzyme. Apoenzyme + Cofactor = Holoenzyme According to Holum, the cofactor may be:1."

Learning Objectives Describe various types of electron acceptors and donors including: nitrate, sulfate, hydrgoen, carbon dioxide and ferric iron Key Takeaways Key Points Both inorganic and organic compounds may be used as electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration. Inorganic compounds include sulfate (SO 42- ), nitrate (NO 3– ), and ferric iron (Fe 3+ ). Organic compounds include DMSO. These molecules have a lower reduction potential than oxygen. Therefore, less energy is formed per molecule of glucose in anaerobic versus aerobic conditions. The reduction of certain inorganic compounds by anaerobic microbes is often ecologically significant. Key Termsanaerobic: Without oxygen; especially of an environment or organism.reduction: A reaction in which electrons are gained and valence is reduced; often by the removal of oxygen or the addition of hydrogen.anaerobic respiration: metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms that use electron acceptors other than oxygen Anaerobic respiration is the formation of ATP without oxygen. This method still incorporates the respiratory electron transport chain, but without using oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor.

Oxygen requirements of different bacteria Almost all plants and animals are dependent upon supply of atmospheric oxygen which is unlikely in bacteria. Depending upon the oxygen need in bacteria, they are classified into 4 groups: strict or obligate aerobic that grow only in the presence of oxygen. Facultative anaerobic bacteria grow both in presence and absence of free oxygen. Some bacteria are microaerophilic which grow best in the presence of low concentration of molecular oxygen. However, not all bacteria require oxygen for growth. Strict or obligate anaerobic bacteria can grow only in the absence of oxygen.

Lothar Meyer (1868)Introduction [ edit]The goal of every chemist, no matter what types of chemical compounds he or she works with, is to understand how and why chemicals react and change. Yet this is the most difficult task of all. It is not enough to know the structures of all the reactants and products, although such knowledge is a vital starting point. We must also know how the molecules approach one another and with what energies and with what orientations they interact. The concepts of energy and entropy are important in understanding chemical reactions. In this chapter we shall look at some of the problems that face us because we cannot examine individual molecular events. We shall examine two theories for predicting the rates of such simple reactions and compare their success or lack of it. We shall look at the two factors that often make reactions slow - energy and entropy - and see how catalysts can overcome these factors and accelerate chemical changes."

Spectrophotometers are used for research in physics, molecular biology, chemistry, and biochemistry labs. Typically, the name refers to Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy. The energy of light is dependent on its wavelength, usually designated as lambda. Although the electromagnetic spectrum extends over a tremendous range of wavelengths, most laboratories can only measure a small fraction of them. UV-Vis Spectroscopy measures between 200 and 400 nanometers (nm) for UV light measurements, and up to approximately 750 nm in the visible spectrum. For UV-Vis Spectroscopy, samples are usually contained and measured in small containers called cuvettes. These can be plastic if used in the visible spectrum, but need to be quartz or fused silica if used for UV measurements. There are some machines that can utilize glass test tubes. Visible Spectroscopy is often used industrially for colorimetry."

In animal models, SIRT1, via the enzymes it encodes, has been shown to have healthspan extending regulatory effects on metabolism, stress resistance, cellular survival, cellular senescence, inflammation-immune function, endothelial function, and circadian rhythms. Clinically relevant findings first began to appear in the peer-reviewed medical literature a mere 10 years ago with the revelation that the keys that unlock and activate our longevity genes are naturally occurring dietary polyphenols. Part I of this review highlights key historical high points of the research odyssey that cracked the longevity code and provides the reader with a backstage pass to meet the enzymes encoded by SIRT1—the seven nutrient-responsive NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase enzymes, dubbed the sirtuins. Part I’s interview with these intriguing enzymes provides answers to the following questions: What are the unique nutrient requirements of the sirtuins? How and why is their activation impacted not only by calorie restriction, but by certain phytonutrients such as resveratrol, and by the redox state of the cell, specifically its NAD+/NAD (H) ratio? What can be done to optimize this ratio via NAD+ salvage, and why will this—in conjunction with resveratrol and/or other SIRT1-activating compounds--optimize sirtuin activity? Why might a very recently discovered niacin-related compound, nicotinamide riboside, be a better sirtuin-activating partner for resveratrol than niacin (nicotinic acid) or its derivative, niacinamide? Part II of this review details SIRT1’s anti-aging effects via an overview of the primary functions of key regulatory proteins deacetylated by Sirt1 and the mitochondrial sirtuins (sirtuins 3-5). Even the brief overview provided demonstrates why the sirtuins, nicknamed “the magnificent seven” have also been dubbed “the master switches of metabolism.”"

In biochemistry, a ligase is an enzyme that can catalyze the joining of two large molecules by forming a new chemical bond, usually with accompanying hydrolysis of a small pendant chemical group on one of the larger molecules or the enzyme catalyzing the linking together of two compounds, e.g., enzymes that catalyze joining of C-O, C-S, C-N, etc. In general, a ligase catalyzes the following reaction: Ab + C → A–C + bor sometimes Ab + c D → A–D + b + c + d + e + fwhere the lowercase letters signify the small, dependent groups. Ligase can join two complementary fragments of nucleic acid and repair single stranded breaks that arise in double stranded DNA during replication. Contents [ hide ]1 Nomenclature2 Classification3 Etymology and pronunciation4 See also5 References Nomenclature [ edit]The common names of ligases often include the word \"\"ligase\"\", such as DNA ligase, an enzyme commonly used in molecular biology laboratories to join together DNA fragments. Other common names for ligases include the word \"\"synthetase\"\", because they are used to synthesize new molecules. Biochemical nomenclature has sometimes distinguished synthetases from synthases and sometimes treated the words as [ [synonym). Under one definition, synthases do not use energy from nucleoside triphosphates (such as ATP, GTP, CTP, TTP, and UTP), whereas synthetases do use nucleoside triphosphates. It is also said that a synthase is a lyase (a lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes the breaking of various chemical bonds by means other than hydrolysis and oxidation, often forming a new double bond or a new ring structure) and does not require any energy, whereas a synthetase is a ligase (a ligase is an enzyme that binds two chemicals or compounds) and thus requires energy."

For example, research on the causes and inheritance of genetic disorders would be considered within both human genetics and medical genetics, while the diagnosis, management, and counselling people with genetic disorders would be considered part of medical genetics. In contrast, the study of typically non-medical phenotypes such as the genetics of eye color would be considered part of human genetics, but not necessarily relevant to medical genetics (except in situations such as albinism ).

Steimer Division of Clinical Psychopharmacology, University Institute of Psychiatry, 2, ch. du Petit Bel-Air, 1225 Chêne-Bourg, Geneva, Switzerland Introduction Steroids are lipophilic, low-molecular weight compounds derived from cholesterol that play a number of important physiological roles. The steroid hormones are synthesized mainly by endocrine glands such as the gonads (testis and ovary), the adrenals and (during gestation) by the fetoplacental unit, and are then released into the blood circulation. They act both on peripheral target tissues and the central nervous system (CNS). An important function of the steroid hormones is to coordinate physiological and behavioural responses for specific biological purposes, e.g. reproduction. Thus, gonadal steroids influence the sexual differentiation of the genitalia and of the brain, determine secondary sexual characteristics during development and sexual maturation, contribute to the maintenance of their functional state in adulthood and control or modulate sexual behaviour. It has been recently discovered (review in ref. 1) that, in addition to the endocrine glands, the CNS is also able to form a number of biologically active steroids directly from cholesterol (the so-called \"\"neurosteroids\"\"). These neurosteroids, however, are more likely to have \"\"autocrine\"\" or \"\"paracrine\"\" functions rather than true endocrine effects."

These receptors play major roles in the function of the body. In brain, evidence suggests a role for muscarinic receptors in memory function (28, 71) and in the pathophysiology of affective illness (46, 47, 79) and schizophrenia (24, 50, 85, 86). Because of their putative role in cognitive function, muscarinic receptors have been a focus of research in Alzheimer's disease (see Experimental Therapeutics ). Researchers defined the two classes of cholinergic receptors early in this century on the basis of tissue responses to certain agonists and antagonists (22). A response caused by muscarine, an alkaloid derived from a poisonous mushroom ( Amanita muscaria ), and antagonism of a response caused by atropine, an alkaloid from the deadly nightshade ( Atropa belladonna —a favorite of poisoners in past centuries), defined muscarinic receptors in a tissue. On the other hand, response to nicotine and blockade by d -tubocurarine (one of the alkaloids from the South American arrow poisons) defined nicotinic receptors. These definitions for the two types of cholinergic receptors are still used today. Muscarinic receptors are widely distributed throughout the body. They mediate various types of responses in many different tissues—such as cardiac tissue, smooth muscle, and exocrine glands—and in cells throughout the peripheral and central nervous system."

Terpenes ( / ˈ t ɜːr p iː n /) are a large and diverse class of organic compounds, produced by a variety of plants, particularly conifers, [1] and by some insects such as termites or swallowtail butterflies, which emit terpenes from their osmeteria. They often have a strong odor and may protect the plants that produce them by deterring herbivores and by attracting predators and parasites of herbivores. [ 2] [3] The difference between terpenes and terpenoids is that terpenes are hydrocarbons, whereas terpenoids contain additional functional groups. They are the major components of resin, and of turpentine produced from resin. The name \"\"terpene\"\" is derived from the word \"\"terpentine\"\", an obsolete form of the word \"\" turpentine \"\". In addition to their roles as end-products in many organisms, terpenes are also major biosynthetic building blocks within nearly every living creature. Steroids, for example, are derivatives of the triterpene squalene. When terpenes are modified chemically, such as by oxidation or rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, the resulting compounds are generally referred to as terpenoids. Some authors will use the term terpene to include all terpenoids."

Open questions about their mechanism of transfer of an oxygen atom to the substrate remain. The enzymes share a molybdenum cofactor (Moco) with the metal ion binding a molybdopterin (MPT) molecule via its dithiolene function and terminal sulfur and oxygen groups. For xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) from the bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus, we used X-ray absorption spectroscopy to determine the Mo site structure, its changes in a p H range of 5-10, and the influence of amino acids (Glu730 and Gln179) close to Moco in wild-type (WT), Q179A, and E730A variants, complemented by enzyme kinetics and quantum chemical studies. Oxidized WT and Q179A revealed a similar Mo (VI) ion with each one MPT, Mo horizontal line O, Mo -O-, and Mo horizontal line S ligand, and a weak Mo -O (E730) bond at alkaline p H. Protonation of an oxo to a hydroxo (OH) ligand (p K approximately 6.8) causes inhibition of XDH at acidic p H, whereas deprotonated xanthine (p K approximately 8.8) is an inhibitor at alkaline p H. A similar acidic p K for the WT and Q179A variants, as well as the metrical parameters of the Mo site and density functional theory calculations, suggested protonation at the equatorial oxo group. The sulfido was replaced with an oxo ligand in the inactive E730A variant, further showing another oxo and one Mo -OH ligand at Mo, which are independent of p H. Our findings suggest a reaction mechanism for XDH in which an initial oxo rather than a hydroxo group and the sulfido ligand are essential for xanthine oxidation.

Synthesis and characterization of a novel organic nitrate NDHP: role of xanthine oxidoreductase-mediated nitric oxide formation In this report, we describe the synthesis and characterization of 1,3-bis (hexyloxy)propan-2-yl nitrate (NDHP), a novel organic mono nitrate. Using purified xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), chemiluminescence and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, we found that XOR catalyzes nitric oxide (NO) generation from NDHP under anaerobic conditions, and that thiols are not involved or required in this process. Further mechanistic studies revealed that NDHP could be reduced to NO at both the FAD and the molybdenum sites of XOR, but that the FAD site required an unoccupied molybdenum site."

Some epigenetic tags remain in place as genetic information passes from generation to generation, a process called epigenetic inheritance. Epigenetic inheritance is an unconventional finding. It goes against the idea that inheritance happens only through the DNA code that passes from parent to offspring. It means that a parent's experiences, in the form of epigenetic tags, can be passed down to future generations. As unconventional as it may be, there is little doubt that epigenetic inheritance is real. In fact, it explains some strange patterns of inheritance geneticists have been puzzling over for decades."

What does this mean for our children? Double-helix structure of DNABy Chris Bell11:00AM BST 16 Oct 2013Towards the end of the Second World War, something unprecedented happened in modern Europe: a famine. Operation Market Garden, the Allies’ attempt to push across the Rhine in September 1944, had failed, and in retaliation for Dutch collusion the Nazis blockaded towns across the western Netherlands for more than six months. The resultant food shortages – known as the Dutch Hongerwinter – were severe: with just 580 calories of food per person per day, over 22,000 people died from malnutrition, and thousands of babies were born badly underweight. When scientific researchers analysed the meticulous Dutch medical records decades later, they could see the health effects of prenatal exposure to famine: that the infants who survived were more susceptible to health problems. But they also found a curious anomaly: that these children’s own children – born years later, and well fed – were also significantly underweight. The famine had, it seemed, “scarred” the victims’ DNA. Which was surprising."

These differences contribute to visible variations, like height and hair color, and invisible traits, such as increased risk for or protection from certain diseases such as heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and addiction. Some diseases, such as sickle cell anemia or cystic fibrosis, are caused by an error, known as a mutation, in a single gene. Some mutations, like the BRCA 1 and 2 mutations that are linked to a much higher risk of breast and ovarian cancer, have become critical medical tools in evaluating a patient’s risk for serious diseases.

"text": "\"What is Epigenetics? Conrad Waddington, originally defined the term epigenetics as 'the interactions of genes with their environment that bring the phenotype into being'. Today, the term is used to describe the study of heritable changes in genome function that occur without a change in DNA sequence. This includes; the study of how patterns of gene expression are passed from one cell to its descendants, how gene expression changes during the differentiation of one cell type into another, and how environmental factors can change the way genes are expressed. There are far-reaching implications of epigenetic research for agriculture and for human biology and disease, including our understanding of stem cells, cancer and ageing. Genomes Vs. Epigenomes In the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA is highly folded and compacted with histone and non-histone proteins into a dynamic polymer called chromatin. Gene expression, chromosome segregation, DNA replication, repair, and recombination all act, not on DNA alone, but on this chromatin template. The discovery that enzymes can (re)organise chromatin into accessible and inaccessible configurations revealed epigenetic mechanisms that considerably extend the information potential of the genetic code. Thus, one genome can generate many 'epigenomes', as the fertilised egg progresses through development and translates its information into a multitude of cell fates."

Consequently, this lesson is appropriate for a high school biology class in which students have had some exposure to the fundamentals of DNA and RNA. However, as the lesson's theme is epigenetics rather than DNA, the lesson's goal is for students to be able to explain the difference between genetics and epigenetics and to describe the role epigenetic factors play in enabling DNA to be \"\"read\"\" by enzymes and transcribed by messenger RNA. In the field of epigenetics, scientists study how chemical tags attach themselves to DNA or to the structures surrounding the DNA. These chemical tags can control gene expression, silencing or activating genes. Because these chemical tags are independent of the DNA sequence itself, they are considered to be epigenetic factors. Epigenetic researchers examine the role this silencing or activation of genes might play in cell differentiation, cell development, disease, and heredity. Epigenetics is a highly relevant area, offering scientists new ways to investigate many fundamental questions about life, health, and disease. For example, how does a single fertilized egg cell differentiate into over 200 cell types?"

"text": "Cancer Epigenetics Epigenetics Controls Reading of Genetic Code Epigentics refers to high level information residing above the genetic code. While each cell in the body is equipped with the same genetic manual, epigenetic instructions tell cells how to make a difference. These instructions determine the access to pages with genetic information by directing the way the DNA is packaged into chromatin. DNA organized in loose chromatin is readily available for gene expression. Conversely, DNA tightly packed into dense chromatin has the letters of genetic code effectively buried and unavailable for reading and transcription. Distinct epigenetic marks decide which sets of genes may be expressed and which genes are kept silent. Once established, epigenetic patterns are stable and are transferred into subsequent generations of somatic cells. Permanent inactivation of one X chromosome in females and parental imprinting of specific genes on autosomes are the best examples of stable epigenetic silencing exerted on one allele. Transcription factors present in the cell nucleus regulate expression of only the other nonsilenced allele.

"text": "Business Day Noninvasive Cancer Test Is Effective, Study Finds By ANDREW POLLACK APRIL 18, 2013A new noninvasive screening test can detect most cases of colorectal cancer and also many precancerous polyps, potentially helping to sharply reduce the death toll from the disease, according to results of a study released on Thursday. Still, the results fell short of investor expectations and even those of the company that developed the test, the Exact Sciences Corporation, sending its shares down about 20 percent in afternoon trading on Thursday. In its news release about the study Thursday morning, Exact Sciences said its test detected 92 percent of the cancers picked up by colonoscopy, and 42 percent of potentially precancerous polyps. It had a false positive rate of 13 percent. The test looks for alterations in human DNA found in a stool sample. The company contends that people will not find it off-putting to deposit a sample of their stool in the company’s collection apparatus and mail it to a laboratory. The new test, called Cologuard, would not replace colonoscopy. Colonoscopy remains the gold standard for colorectal screening, in part because any polyps detected can also be removed during a colonoscopy, possibly preventing cancer. But about half of people over 50, the recommended age to start screening for colorectal cancer, are either not adequately screened or not screened at all, in part because colonoscopy is invasive, uncomfortable, expensive and time-consuming. Exact Sciences says the noninvasive test could allow more people to be screened, and those with a positive result could then get a colonoscopy."

Brown12/07/17 12:00pm Filed to: CRISPR 17 8Image: Flickr The unassumingly named CRISPR/Cas9 is a technology that stands to remake the world as we know it. By allowing scientists to more easily than ever cut and paste all those As, Cs, Ts, and Gs that encode all the world’s living things, for one thing, it could one day cure many devastating diseases. All that power, though, comes with one pretty sizable caveat: Sometimes CRISPR doesn’t work quite like we expect it to. While the scientific establishment is still embroiled in a debate over just how serious the problem is, CRISPR sometimes causes off-target effects. And for scientists doing gene editing on human patients, those mutations could wind up inadvertently causing problems like tumors or genetic disease. Yikes. A new study from the Salk Institute suggests an interesting workaround: If we’re trying to change a gene’s behavior, why do we need to actually edit it at all? In a paper published Thursday in the journal Cell, the Salk scientists suggest doing something else entirely. Instead of using CRISPR/Cas9 to cut apart strands of DNA to either remove genes or insert new ones, they instead used CRISPR as a switch that simply turns genes on and off. “The recent revolution in targeted gene-editing technologies has opened a new door for targeted precision medicine,” study co-authors Hsin-Kai Liao and Fumiyuki Hatanaka told Gizmodo via email. “"

"text": "Epigenetics: Fundamentals What is Epigenetics? Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression (active versus inactive genes) that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence — a change in phenotype without a change in genotype — which in turn affects how cells read the genes. Epigenetic change is a regular and natural occurrence but can also be influenced by several factors including age, the environment/lifestyle, and disease state. Epigenetic modifications can manifest as commonly as the manner in which cells terminally differentiate to end up as skin cells, liver cells, brain cells, etc. Or, epigenetic change can have more damaging effects that can result in diseases like cancer. At least three systems including DNA methylation, histone modification and non-coding RNA ( nc RNA )-associated gene silencing are currently considered to initiate and sustain epigenetic change. 1 New and ongoing research is continuously uncovering the role of epigenetics in a variety of human disorders and fatal diseases.

Grab an apple instead of a Twinkie, and your body rewards you with a strengthened immune system, as life-giving phytonutrients flood your tissues and organs. You feel empowered by your lifestyle choices. You are what you eat. But this belief was challenged and expanded upon when, in 2008, Duke University’s Randy Jirtle, Ph D, published a groundbreaking study proving that you’re not only what you eat, but also what your parents ate. In his experiment, he used the agouti mouse, named for the agouti gene in its genome, which causes the mouse to be obese and die prematurely of heart disease and diabetes. Because of a cross-linkage with the gene that controls fur color, the agouti mouse was yellow. Typically, the agouti offspring were identical to their parents and suffered the same life-shortened fate. Jirtle and his team decided to see if there was any way to partially or completely deactivate this gene."

The stereotype of identical twins is that they are exactly the same: they look alike, they dress in matching outfits, they share the same likes and dislikes. Parents of identical twins know differently, however. Despite their shared genetic component, identical multiples are unique individuals. Though they do share similarities, they also have many differences. For example, my own children have always exhibited about a twenty-five percent difference in their weight.

"text": "Epigenetics, the study of the chemical modification of specific genes or gene-associated proteins of an organism. Epigenetic modifications can define how the information in genes is expressed and used by cells. The term epigenetics came into general use in the early 1940s, when British embryologist Conrad Waddington used it to describe the interactions between genes and gene products, which direct development and give rise to an organism’s phenotype (observable characteristics). Since then, information revealed by epigenetics studies has revolutionized the fields of genetics and developmental biology. Specifically, researchers have uncovered a range of possible chemical modifications to deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA) and to proteins called histones that associate tightly with DNA in the nucleus. These modifications can determine when or even if a given gene is expressed in a cell or an organism. DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form units known as nucleosomes. These units condense into a chromatin fibre, which condenses further to form a chromosome. Epigenetics studies have revealed that chemical modifications to histones can be inherited and define how the information in genes is expressed and used by cells. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.

[ 6] A vast literature describes sets of Cp Gs whose DNA methylation levels correlate with age, e.g. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]. The first robust demonstration that DNA methylation levels in saliva could generate accurate age predictors was published by a UCLA team including Steve Horvath in 2011 (Bocklandt et al 2011) [12]. The labs of Trey Ideker and Kang Zhang at the University of California San Diego published the Hannum epigenetic clock (Hannum 2013) [5], which consisted of 71 markers that accurately estimate age based on blood methylation levels. The first multi-tissue epigenetic clock, Horvath's epigenetic clock, was developed by Steve Horvath, a professor of human genetics and of biostatistics at UCLA (Horvath 2013) [1] [3]. Horvath spent over 4 years collecting publicly available Illumina DNA methylation data and identifying suitable statistical methods. [ 13] The personal story behind the discovery was featured in Nature. [ 14] The age estimator was developed using 8,000 samples from 82 Illumina DNA methylation array datasets, encompassing 51 healthy tissues and cell types. The major innovation of Horvath's epigenetic clock lies in its wide applicability: the same set of 353 Cp Gs and the same prediction algorithm is used irrespective of the DNA source within the organism, i.e. it does not require any adjustments or offsets. [ 1] This property allows one to compare the ages of different areas of the human body using the same aging clock. Relationship to a cause of biological aging [ edit]It is not yet known what exactly is measured by DNA methylation age."

Avoid full-fat dairy products, such as ice cream, strong cheeses, such as bleu cheese, dairy products with nuts or dried fruit in them and smoked or cured meats. Fruits and Vegetables You can have most cooked and canned fruits and vegetables and their juices, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Do not eat the skin or seeds of fruit because they can be scratchy and trigger esophageal spasms when you swallow them. Do not have raw fruits or vegetables or french fries, and avoid vegetables that are likely to cause gassiness, such as broccoli, cucumbers, cabbage and corn.

What is the esophagus? The esophagus is a tube which runs from the back of the throat and to the opening of the stomach. This tube is the main transporter of food and liquids to our stomachs. An Esophageal Spasm is a condition whereby the muscle in the esophagus develops a cramp causing pain and discomfort in the chest area. Esophageal spasms are irregular and vary from strong to mild contractions of the esophagus. Normally contractions of the esophagus are coordinated, moving the food through the esophagus and into the stomach. Esophageal spasms can prevent food from reaching the stomach, leaving it stuck in the esophagus. What causes Esophageal Spasms? The exact cause of esophageal spasms is unknown."

That’s the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach. Causes Doctors aren't sure what causes esophageal spasms, but it is known that they are a type of motility disorder. That means there’s a problem with how the muscles in the food pipe squeeze together (contract) to move contents through the rest of the gastrointestinal (GI) system. Nerve signals from the brain tell the muscles in your esophagus to contract when you swallow something. Faulty nerve signaling may play a role in whether or not you develop this condition. There are two main types of esophagus spasms: Distal esophageal spasm (DES). These are uncoordinated spasms that often happen along with regurgitation.

"text": "Esophageal Motility Disorders Print Diffuse Esophageal Spasm & Achalasia: Upper Digestive Tract Disorders In a healthy esophagus, peristalsis propels food and fluid down the esophagus. Sometimes, however, these contractions become ineffective, resulting in an esophageal motility disorder. The two most common esophageal motility disorders are diffuse esophageal spasm and achalasia. In diffuse esophageal spasm, several segments of the esophagus contract strongly and simultaneously, preventing the normal, wave-like contractions from moving food and fluid down the esophagus. In achalasia, there is an absence of normal, wave-like contractions in the lower half of the esophagus, and the lower esophageal sphincter fails to relax and allow food to enter the stomach. Causes of esophageal motility disorders The causes of esophageal spasm and achalasia are unknown. However, some believe that extremely hot or cold foods can trigger an esophageal spasm. Older age, being female, and having GERD also may predispose you to having spasms. Symptoms of esophageal motility disorders People with diffuse esophageal spasm experience intermittent episodes of dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), usually with both liquids and solids, as well as pain behind the breastbone. People with achalasia have gradually worsening swallowing problems for both solids and liquids, regurgitation of ingested food, and weight loss."

Esophageal spasms can feel like sudden, severe chest pain that lasts from a few minutes to hours. Esophageal spasms typically occur only occasionally and might not need treatment. But sometimes the spasms are frequent and can prevent food and liquids from traveling through the esophagus. If esophageal spasms interfere with your ability to eat or drink, treatments are available. Symptoms Signs and symptoms of esophageal spasms include: Squeezing pain in your chest. The pain is often intense, and you might mistake it for heart pain (angina). Difficulty swallowing, sometimes related to swallowing specific substances, such as red wine or extremely hot or cold liquids. The feeling that an object is stuck in your throat. The return of food and liquids back up your esophagus (regurgitation)."

"text": "Print Overview Esophagus Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) means it takes more time and effort to move food or liquid from your mouth to your stomach. Dysphagia may also be associated with pain. In some cases, swallowing may be impossible. Occasional difficulty swallowing, which may occur when you eat too fast or don't chew your food well enough, usually isn't cause for concern. But persistent dysphagia may indicate a serious medical condition requiring treatment. Dysphagia can occur at any age, but it's more common in older adults. The causes of swallowing problems vary, and treatment depends on the cause. Symptoms Signs and symptoms associated with dysphagia may include: Having pain while swallowing (odynophagia)Being unable to swallow Having the sensation of food getting stuck in your throat or chest or behind your breastbone (sternum)Drooling Being hoarse Bringing food back up (regurgitation)Having frequent heartburn Having food or stomach acid back up into your throat Unexpectedly losing weight Coughing or gagging when swallowing Having to cut food into smaller pieces or avoiding certain foods because of trouble swallowing When to see a doctor See your doctor if you regularly have difficulty swallowing or if weight loss, regurgitation or vomiting accompanies your dysphagia. If an obstruction interferes with breathing, call for emergency help immediately. If you're unable to swallow because you feel that the food is stuck in your throat or chest, go to the nearest emergency department."

Luckily, there are many essential oils for colds and flu symptoms that can just as quickly bring your spirits back up by providing soothing, comforting relief and support healing. Colds versus “the flu” – what’s the difference? According to the Quick Reference Guide for Using Essential Oils by Connie and Alan Higley ¹ , influenza, also known as “the flu”, is a highly contagious viral infection of the respiratory system. Symptoms include high fever, dry cough, sore throat, muscle aches and pains, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, and nasal congestion. Some viruses cause vomiting and diarrhea. Yuck!Web MD ² describes the common cold as a less severe version of “the flu” and typically lasts for a few days to a week versus potentially weeks of symptoms which is common with influenza. It’s important to note that influenza can result in serious health conditions, like pneumonia, particularly for young and elderly people and folks with lung or heart problems. For a user-friend chart and more specific descriptions related to the difference between the flu and the common cold, follow the link in the footnotes of this article. Essential oils can help alleviate symptoms and support the healing process, but do check in with a doctor if symptoms are persistent, or if you are vulnerable to complications, or are caring for someone who is vulnerable to complications."

"text": "Your Essential Oil Diffuser Could Make Your Pets Sick Jaime Green2/07/18 1:15pm Filed to: Pets 34 4The one time I really tend to wish my pets could talk is when they’re sick. Pet illnesses can seem so vague and amorphous, sometimes—a little puking here, some weird lethargy there—and it can be hard to tell the difference between a little under the weather and the start of a serious problem. Of course, there’s always the vet to help you figure out what’s going on. Sometimes, the answer is surprising: Twitter user shaelyn had noticed that both her cat and dog had been acting strange. When she took them to the vet she discovered that they were being made ill by the essential oils in her diffuser. When I saw this tweet, I had to wonder—was my cat’s recent puking caused by my own essential oil diffuser? I’d been running it occasionally with lavender and pine oils. I never would’ve put those oils on my cat’s body or in her water, but I hadn’t thought to check if she could be harmed by the oils in the air. The ASPCA has a robust animal poison control info center and hotline, and their advice on essential oils is sweeping: Cats are especially sensitive to essential oils, and effects such as gastrointestinal upset, central nervous system depression and even liver damage could occur if ingested in significant quantities. Inhalation of the oils could lead to aspiration pneumonia."

"text": "Holistic Health Aromatherapy & Essential Oils The Different Types of Aromatherapy Diffusers By Cathy Wong, NDUpdated March 04, 2018Share Pin Email Print Glow Wellness/Glow/Getty Images Aromatherapy diffusers are devices that are used to disperse essential oils (highly concentrated extracts from flowers, leaves, and other plant parts) into the surrounding air. According to the ancient practice of aromatherapy, spreading the scent through the air allows the essential oils to activate smell receptors in your nose, sending messages to the brain and influencing your emotions and nervous system. The various types of diffusers include the following. Ceramic Diffuser A ceramic diffuser allows oils to evaporate and disperse into the air. A drop or two of essential oil can be placed onto the terra cotta or ceramic diffuser. These diffusers are good for personal use in a small area, but may not be ideal for large or outdoor areas. Reed Diffuser Reed diffusers often use rattan sticks, which have small channels that allow the essential oil to travel up the stick and scent the room. Lighter oils (e.g. bergamot, grapefruit, or lemon essential oil) tend to diffuse faster than the heavier oils (base notes) such as patchouli and sandalwood essential oil. Electric Diffuser Like ceramic and reed diffusers, electric fan diffusers expose essential oils to air without heat. Drops of the essential oil are added to a pad or to water."

Essential Oils That Can Be Considered During Pregnancy Here are a few of my favorite essential oils to consider during pregnancy (after the first trimester), and suggestions on how to use them for the best results. Note: For a partial list of oils to avoid during pregnancy, please refer to this video. Lavender (Lavendula angustifolia): Fantastic news: The quintessential anti-stress oil is safe for pregnancy used as suggested after the first trimester. True lavender is not a uterine stimulant. In fact, animal research shows it reduces contractions. Diluted lavender oil can be added to a weekly bath or used in a diffuser once or twice a week to help ease pregnancy stress and anxiety. After the baby is born, lavender can be used in an herbal spritz (diluted) to refresh the room, and help keep the mood calm and serene.

Let’s get diluted here Essentials oils are highly concentrated volatile compounds extracted from whole or parts of plants – tree resins, flowering shrubs, peels of citrus fruits, seeds, grasses and so forth. A distiller may use hundreds of pounds of plant material and get only a pound of essential oil in return. In the case of rose essential oil it takes approximately 50 roses to make a single drop of essential oil. It can take 2,000 pounds of plant material from the cypress tree to get a single pound of the essential oil.

"text": "\"This Natural Bug Repellent Works Better Than Deet196May 25, 2015 • 317,226 views Edition: English Previous Next Story at-a-glance Products containing picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus worked better than DEET at repelling insects Picaridin resembles the natural compound piperine, an essential oil in black pepper Oil of lemon eucalyptus comes from the gum eucalyptus tree, but it is p-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD), its synthetic version, that is used as an insect repellent By Dr. Mercola Biting insects can put a damper on your summer fun, not to mention potentially transmit diseases like Lyme disease and West Nile Virus. The majority of US adults (75 percent) said they are actually more concerned about such diseases than they are about potentially dangerous chemicals in insect repellent. 1Still, most people also told Consumer Reports that safety is important when choosing an insect repellent, and only one-third believe products on the market are safe for adults (and only 23 percent considered them safe for kids). Concern is well-justified, as DEET (N,N-diethyl- meta-toluamide) is used in hundreds of products, in concentrations of up to an astounding 100 percent. DEET has been shown to harm brain and nervous system function. Children are particularly at risk for subtle neurological changes because their skin more readily absorbs chemicals in the environment, and chemicals exert more potent effects on their developing nervous systems. DEET is not your only option for insect repellent, fortunately, and Consumer Reports tests have recently revealed natural alternatives that may be even more effective without the harsh side effects. Picaridin and Lemon Eucalyptus Beat DEET for Repelling Insects Consumer Reports recruited volunteers to test out spray-on repellents made of DEET, oil of lemon eucalyptus, picaridin, a chemical called IR3535, and products made with natural plant oils. After the repellents were applied and allowed to sit for 30 minutes, the volunteers reached into a cage containing (disease-free) mosquitoes or ticks. Two products emerged on top and were able to keep mosquitoes and ticks away for at least seven hours: products that contained 20 percent picaridin or 30 percent oil of lemon eucalyptus."

However, I only recommend products that I personally love and use myself!. We have talked a lot already about essential oil safety, including safety with babies and children, but I have yet to cover essential oil safety for pregnant and nursing mothers. Today we are going to go over this topic, and explore the essential oils that are safe to use while pregnant or nursing, as well as ways to use them for specific pregnancy symptoms. Essential oils have shown to be safe and helpful during pregnancy The topic of essential oil use during pregnancy is a bit of a controversial issue, mainly because there hasn’t been a lot of studies done on the topic ( it can be difficult to find a safe methodology of testing with pregnant women and the infants that they are carrying). Essential oils have been used for over 25 years by midwives, doulas, nurses, and mothers-to-be and have shown no harm to the mother or baby. In fact Jane Buckle, RN (Buckle, 2015) states;“There are no records of abnormal fetuses or aborted fetuses as a result of the normal use of essential oils, either by inhalation or by topical application. ”When used properly, essential oils are very safe for use during pregnancy and can help the expectant mother through all sorts of pregnancy symptoms, including nausea/vomiting, swelling of ankles and muscle spasms, insomnia, stress, and more! See down below for some suggestions for common ailments during pregnancy. Essential oil basics when you are pregnant or nursing If used safely and with care, essential oils have proven to be very helpful at aiding women through the physical and mental trials and tribulations of pregnancy. These are some of the basic rules to follow when using essential oils while pregnant or nursing: Ingestion should be avoided during pregnancy and while nursing – While topical applications and diffusion are both safe routes to use essential oils while you are pregnant or nursing, many essential oils can be toxic to the baby if ingested."

If you’ve tried to answer that question by researching online lately, you know that there is a ton of conflicting information out there. Some say EVERYTHING is safe, some say virtually NOTHING is safe. What’s a mama to do? A couple of years ago, I decided to get over my sticker shock and try to answer that question for myself. I purchased a copy of Essential Oil Safety, which was written by world renowned essential oil expert Robert Tisserand and his co-author, Rodney Young. Considered the most evidence-based resource available, Essential Oil Safety took 10+ years to write and contains over 4000 citations. Safety is my top priority, so whether it’s this bug bite balm, this “breathe easy” vapor rub, or another natural remedy or beauty recipe, I always consult Essential Oil Safety while creating products for my family and yours. Of course, there are a lot of essential oil uses I haven’t covered (yet!)"

Coconut is regarded as ‘wonder food’ and ‘perfect food’ by many because it is an almost complete food in most respects. Coconut has all the essential nutrients that are required for survival. Though its name is coconut, still it does not qualify as a real nut. In fact coconut tree belongs to the palm family and it is a palm fruit. Just like most other palm trees, coconut tree grows vertically and spreads its palms. Just underneath the base of the palms, coconut fruits grow and mature. A fully grown coconut can range between 20-30 cm in length and it more or less looks like a rugby ball. This is the outer layer of the fruit which is covered in thick fibers. In the interior the real coconut fruit is sphere shaped and hard shelled."

Beware of anyone who tells you to ingest essential oils either by putting a few drops in your water or putting them into a capsule. The only cases of death, organ failure and hospitalization in the history of aromatherapy have been caused by ingesting essential oils. It is THAT dangerous. Another dangerous practice many dōTERRA and Young Living representatives teach is to apply essential oils undiluted directly on your skin. Please don’t. I am so passionate about the safe use of essential ones that I dedicated an entire chapter to it in my book The Art, Science and Business of Aromatherapy . I decided to share a section Chapter 10 in response to the overwhelming number of people I am hearing from who are being taught to ingest essential oils and use them undiluted. Please share with your friends and family. Keep aromatherapy safe."

To introduce aromatherapy to babies place 2 drops of essential oil C (try Lavender) on a tissue and keep it nearby when you are feeding him or her. He will come to associate the aroma with love and comfort. Use this scent at night to help him sleep. When you leave the child with a sitter the aroma will comfort and reassure him. Use 1 drop Chamomile oil on a washcloth wrapped ice cube to relieve teething pain in children Children love it when their bath water smells good. Lavender and Roman Chamomile are good choices for small children. It is best to add the essential oils to some milk or liquid soap before adding to the tub. Use 1-3 total drops per bath.

The information below deals with herbs and vitamins that can be dangerous during pregnancy while a different page on this website, \"\" Herbs and vitamins during pregnancy \"\", deals with healthy vitamins and herbs. Herbs, Pregnancy, and Safety Most health care providers recommend you avoid taking any herb during the first trimester and during the second trimester and third trimester you should use only minimal amounts and only with your health care providers knowledge and approval. Some herbs contain steroids that can affect the baby's development during pregnancy and/or nursing. Others may be of a mild toxic type and others may be strong uterine stimulants. If you wish to use an herb or herbal remedy to treat a common problem such as constipation, indigestion, or heartburn see a qualified herbalist and talk to your health care provider before taking any herb or medicine during your pregnancy. The following list of herbs to avoid or use with caution during pregnancy has been adapted from the website Naturalark: Angelica - stimulates suppressed menstruation Black Cohosh - uterine stimulant - mostly used during labor Blue Cohosh - a stronger uterine stimulant Borage oil - a uterine stimulant - use only during the last few days of pregnancy Comfrey - can cause liver problems in mother and fetus - use only briefly, externally only, for treating sprains and strains -Dong Quai - may stimulate bleeding Elder - do not use during pregnancy or lactation Fenugreek - uterine relaxant Goldenseal - too powerful an antibiotic for the developing fetus, also should not be used if nursing Henbane - highly toxic Horsetail - too high in silica for the developing fetus Licorice Root - can create water retention and/or elevated blood pressure Motherwort - stimulates suppressed menstruation Mugwort - can be a uterine stimulant Nutmeg - can cause miscarriage in large doses Pennyroyal Leaf - stimulates uterine contractions (NOTE: Pennyroyal essential oil should not be used by pregnant women at any time!) - do not handle if pregnant or nursing Rue - strong expellant Shepherd's Purse - used only for hemorrhaging during/after childbirth Uva Ursi - removes too much blood sugar during pregnancy and nursing Yarrow - uterine stimulant The two charts below are from \"\"Herbs for a Healthy Pregnancy: From Conception to Childbirth\"\" by Penelope Ody.

In my last sleep post, I gave you my favorite Sleepytime tea & tincture recipe, in this post we’re going to learn about using aromatherapy to help you and your family sleep better. With so many great essential oils for sleep, I have put together my recipe for my favorite sleepytime essential oil blend that I like to call, Good Night Sleep Tight! This calming essential oil blend is good for more than just sleep, I even use this to control my Restless Leg Syndrome!There are natural options for a better night’s rest You don’t have to rely on habit forming sedatives or over the counter Benadryl & Tylenol (Tylenol PM) to get to sleep. Sleep issues are most often underlying symptoms from other health issues. Before you chug down pills to cover up your chronic sleep problem, you might try making some of these changes in your life first, to see what helps you get a better night’s rest: Ditch the caffeine after 4 pm – It’s great at keeping you awake which is going against your ultimate goal of sleep!Get on a sleep schedule and go to bed before midnight – Some research suggests that every hour of sleep prior to 12 am is equal to 2 hours after. It’s really important that you start going to bed at a normal hour, as your body adjusts, you will begin to wake up earlier naturally, without feeling so groggy, and you’ll also begin to become tired as evening approaches. Get enough magnesium in your diet – there is a whole host of symptoms caused by magnesium deficiency, and one of those symptoms is insomnia."

"text": "Home › Essential Oils › Lemongrass Oil17 Amazing Benefits of Lemongrass Essential Oil31 Comments The health benefits of lemongrass essential oil can be attributed to its beneficial properties as an analgesic, antidepressant, antimicrobial, antipyretic, antiseptic, astringent, bactericidal, carminative, deodorant, diuretic, febrifuge, fungicidal, galactagogue, insecticidal, nervine, sedative, and a tonic substance. What is Lemongrass essential oil? Lemongrass essential oil is extracted through the process of steam distillation of dried lemongrass. Lemongrass is known by the scientific names Cymbopogon citratus or Andropogon citratus. The main constituents of its essential oil are myrcene, citronellal, geranyl acetate, nerol, geraniol, neral, limonene, and citral. As the name implies, lemongrass smells just like lemons, but it is milder, sweeter, and far less sour. This grass is used in countless beverages (including tea ), desserts, and other forms of culinary creations as a flavoring agent when fresh lemon is not available or is not to be used because of its potent flavor. It is widely used in Chinese and Thai recipes. It grows and spreads very fast like any other grass and fetches a good price in the market, which makes it a profitable and common item in organic and mainstream markets. Lemongrass Essential Oil Health Benefits Lemongrass has many health benefits because of its medicinal properties."

Please, read the article carefully – topical or diffused essential oils can be very safe and effective in kids when used correctly!

Chances are the answer is yes!Recently there has been a huge rise in the use of essential oils from some popular MLM companies like Young Living and Doterra. BUT – with every new craze comes some good news and bad news…The good news: I love the fact that so many families have thrown out their Glade Plug-in air fresheners, or other synthetic spray air fresheners. Synthetic air fresheners are notoriously horrible products, in my opinion. The Environmental Working Group (ewg.org) rated 150 products with a grade D for safety, and 78 products with a grade F. (Only 11 got a grade A, and one of those was baking soda!)"

Just because it’s “natural” doesn’t make it automatically safe If you were out in the wild, would you eat those red little berries that all the birds seem to be avoiding? How about the pretty belladonna flowers that have long been used in poison, dating back to the ancient Romans and even found on arrows, dating further before that. There are plenty of natural sources of poison, that aren’t safe for haphazard use simply because they are natural. According to chemistry, everything on this planet is made up of chemicals, it’s the toxic and synthetics ones that I try to avoid. It is important to note, that no matter the brand of essential oil, ALL 100% pure essential oils are an extremely concentrated combination of multiple chemical constituents."

"text": "Evening primrose ( Oenothera biennis) opens its four-petaled blossoms after sunset or on dark cloudy or rainy days. It is worth the time to visit an evening primrose plant at dusk and watch as the cream to bright yellow petals unfold like a slow-motion film. The show starts in June and continues through October. Evening Primrose: The Plant Evening primrose belongs to the Onagraceae (evening primrose family), whose members also include fireweed and fuchsia. Its many common names allude either to its resemblance to other plants or to its historical reputation as an herbal panacea: scabish, king’s cure-all, night willow herb, and German rampion. A biennial with a sturdy taproot, evening primrose grows to about 8 feet tall and flowers in its second season. You might find this North American native in your backyard or in fields, along roadsides, or in waste areas throughout much of eastern North America, where it is naturalized. It is a weed in Europe, where it has escaped from cultivation. Historical Uses For Evening Primrose All parts of evening primrose are edible. Native Americans in Utah and Nevada ate the seeds."

Evening primrose oil, also sometimes referred to as EPO, comes from the seed of evening primrose plants and can be used both topically and ingested orally depending on the results you hope to get from adding the oil into your routine. There are a number of benefits to using evening primrose, but the most commonly recognized involve women’s hormone heath. What Are Evening Primrose Benefits? The health benefits of adding EPO into your daily routine or vitamin regimen can appear in your skin, hair, bones, and overall hormone health. The oil extracted from the evening primrose plant is high in the fatty acids our bodies love, such as omega-6, and other vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K. Our bodies need these essential fatty acids and vitamins, but because the body is unable to produce them on its own, it relies on a well balanced diet full of nutritional value. Even with proper meal planning and a careful eye on what we choose to put in our bodies, getting all the nutrients we need through our meals can be difficult. In these cases, adding an evening primrose oil supplement into our diets can adjust for the vitamins we may be missing. The oil can also be applied topically to deliver a punch of vitamins and moisture to skin problems and breakouts like acne, eczema, or psoriasis."

Read on to learn the benefits of evening primrose oil for hair, and a step-by-step guide to regrow hair by applying primrose oil. The Benefits of Primrose Oil for Hair Evening primrose oil is distilled from the seeds of the primrose, a flowering plant native to Europe and North America. Evening primrose has healing properties and has traditionally been used to treat bruises, wounds, skin problems and digestive issues. Primrose oil is rich in omega-6 fatty acids like gamma-linoleic acid, or GLA.

GLA is the starting point for the synthesis of hormone-like compounds called prostaglandins. These compounds stimulate and monitor various functions in all body organs and their deficiencies cause diseases such as heart attacks and high blood pressure (hypertension), arthritis, menstrual cramps, allergies, asthma, migraines, infertility, glaucoma, and possibly cancer. Different types of prostaglandins (PGs) not only have different effects but also can exhibit opposite effects."

Evening primrose oil ( Oenothera biennis) comes from the seeds of a wildflower that grows throughout the United States. The oil, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), is an omega-6 essential fatty acid that is also found in the seeds of borage and black currant. The human body cannot make GLA so it must be obtained from outside sources. However, the body can convert another omega-6 fatty acid, linoleic acid found in nuts and vegetable oils, to GLA. In general, however, GLA is hard to come by in the diet. Evening Primrose Oil Benefits Native Americans used evening primrose oil seeds, leaves and roots for food. They also made poultices from the whole plant to heal bruises, and decoctions of the roots to treat hemorrhoids. The leaves were employed to treat minor wounds, gastrointestinal complaints, and sore throats. It wasn’t until the 1930s that evening primrose oil benefits were discovered for addressing many different health problems including brittle nails and hair, eczema, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), rheumatoid arthritis, Raynaud’s phenomenon, multiple sclerosis, Sjogren’s syndrome, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, breast pain, menopausal symptoms, and others."

Taken from the French word ~panse,~ it meant ~romantic thought~ to the Victorians. Pansy was one of the ingredients in a Celtic love potion. Pansy was supposed to have magical love powers. The petals being heart-shaped, were thought to cure a broken heart. According to a German legend the pansy once had a wonderful, strong scent. People came from miles to smell the flower. By doing this the people would destroy the grass around the pansies. The pansy prayed to God for help because the feed for the cattle was being trampled. God took the scent of the pansy away, but gave it great beauty instead."

Borage oil comes from the seeds of Borage seeds, which is a flowering plant. Borage oil is also called borage seed oil, and these two can be used interchangeably. This oil has the highest amount of Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) , which is an Omega – 6 fatty acid. This selectively high concentration of omega – 6 in borage seed oil is responsible for many powerful health benefits, but some side effects as well. So, before using borage seed oil, one should be aware of its side effects. The very high amount of GLA makes borage seed oil a suitable natural remedy for rheumatoid arthritis. It is also helpful in compressing swelling on the skin and in other skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. Borage oil holds many health benefits specifically for women because of the action of GLA."

Identification A perennial, the Primrose produces neat hemispherical clumps typically 10 to 25 cm tall. The rosette of basal leaves is often visible right through the winter except in exposed locations. The short-stemmed leaves can grow to 20cm or so in length, and their wrinkled surfaces and crinkly or slightly toothed margins are quite distinctive. Flowers, each with five notched petals, are typically 2 to 4cm in diameter, pale yellow with a deeper yellow or orange-yellow centre, and slightly scented. Each flower is usually borne singly on a slender stem. Flowers may have a long prominent style, as shown on the left, in which case they are known as pin flowers or pin-eye flowers; or the style may be shorter and the stamens most prominent - an example is shown below - when they are referred to as thrum flowers or thrum-eye flowers.

Fertilisation is usually achieved between a thrum-eye flower and a pin-eye flower; pollination from pin to pin or thrum to thrum is not generally effective."

An opposition to a motion for summary judgment in a California eviction case is the topic of this blog post. The number of summary judgment motions in California evictions has gone down since the filing fee was recently raised to $500.00. However there are circumstances where a summary judgment motion may be filed. These cases might include where the monthly rental rate is quite high, or where the attorney for the plaintiff is especially aggressive. Grounds for opposition to a motion for summary judgment in a California eviction. The fact is that summary judgment is not a “slam dunk” for the plaintiff. If a tenant can show enough facts and evidence that supports their defense, such as a breach of the warranty of habitability or a retaliatory eviction should be able to defeat the motion. If the tenant denies being served with a three-day notice and can show facts and evidence to support their contention that should also defeat the motion as a California Court of Appeal has held that, “Affidavits of service may not be relied on at trial to prove a three-day notice was served pursuant to section 1162; testimony of the person who made the service is required.” See Liebovich v.

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

The judgment explained some of the key duties imposed on the state by the right of access to adequate housing in section 26 of the Constitution. This ruling has helped to transform eviction laws in South Africa. But what do the Grootboom judgment and housing legislation mean in practice for people facing eviction or demolition of their homes?

No legislation may permit arbitrary evictions. ”This article explores the relevant principles applicable to evictions in our constitutional era, and examines the progress that has been made and some of the key challenges that remain.

Thanks Share this conversation Answered in 7 minutes by: 8/12/2010Real Estate Lawyer: Barrister Hello,If no answer to the foreclosure complaint is filed within the required time, the lender may move for a default. This may accelerate the foreclosure process in that the lender can move for a Summary Final Judgment. At the hearing on a motion for summary final judgment, if the court grants the motion, a summary final judgment is entered and a sale date is set. The summary final judgment indicates the sale date and the judgment amount.. The taxation of fees is just to add in any attorney fees and costs associated with the foreclosure... After the property has been sold, then the new owner would have to bring an eviction action against you to take physical possession of the property. In such situation the new owner or the bank will approach the court and ask for a hearing to decide when you should be going through foreclosure eviction. At the time of hearing the judge will decide how long you can stay before moving out.. After the court orders your foreclosure eviction if you do not move out within 10 days then the new owner can obtain an execution of the eviction judgment by which the sheriff would get the right to remove you from the premises. The sheriff would normally give you 24 to 72 hours before physically showing up and removing you and your property...

In a nonpayment proceeding, the landlord is asking a housing court judge to award a judgment against the tenant for the unpaid rent as well as a \"\"judgment of possession\"\" and warrant of eviction, which allow the landlord to have a city marshal evict the tenant if the balance of the rent owed is not paid. The basics of a non-payment of rent case Things to know if you're facing a non-payment of rent case: A nonpayment proceeding is a lawsuit that requires the tenant to go to court to answer. If you fail to appear and answer, the court may award a judgment to the landlord and issue a warrant of eviction to the city marshal. You can avoid eviction by paying the amount ordered by the court. As long as the warrant of eviction has not executed, you can end your case by proving that you have paid the money tha is owed, and once you do so, your landlord cannot cotinue to seek your eviction. You can dispute the amount that your landlord claims that you owe. You can defend yourself by proving that you have already paid the rent that is being demanded. You can also raise other defenses that affect the amount of rent the landlord is entitled to recover (see below). You have a right to raise defenses."

"text": "Wage garnishment procedures An eviction case is divided into two separate hearings if you choose to pursue both the eviction and the claim for damages. Until a tenant has been evicted and has vacated the rental premises, a landlord cannot know the complete extent of his/her damages. A landlord could choose to do an inspection before the tenant leaves the premises but would only be able to guess at the total damages as the landlord has no idea how the tenant will leave the premises upon move-out. The tenant may leave a mountain of trash for the landlord to clean up. The tenant may damage walls, doors, etc., during the move-out process. The tenant may leave the furnace set at 95 degrees and open all the windows in January. Because of this uncertainty, courts require a second, separate hearing for damages which occurs after the first hearing for the eviction or possession of the premises. Once the landlord obtains possession of the rental unit, he/she should inspect the unit for damages. During the inspection process, the landlord should prepare a list of damages and keep any documentation supporting these damages."

Tendons are strong bands of tissue that attach muscle to bone. The peroneal tendons help keep your foot and ankle stable when you walk. Tendons can be injured suddenly or they may be slowly damaged over time. You can have tiny or partial tears in your tendon. If you have a complete tear of your tendon, it is called a rupture. Other tendon injuries may be called a strain, tendinosis, or tendonitis. What is the cause? Peroneal injuries can be caused by: Overuse of the tendon from a sport or work activity that causes your foot and ankle to roll inward, like when you run on sloped surfaces or run in shoes that are getting worn out on the outside of the heel."

Choosing the Right Cooking Technique Using the appropriate cooking method for the type of food being prepared is a major part of the culinary arts. Tough cuts of meat like beef brisket or lamb shank need to be cooked slowly, at low heats, for a long time, and with plenty of moisture. Prepared properly, these cuts can be incredibly tender and delicious. On the other hand, dry-heat methods typically involve very high temperatures and short cooking times. A piece of brisket cooked in this way — on a grill, let's say — would be tough, chewy and largely inedible."

These two factors are indicators of the beef’s tenderness. Beef that is given a higher grade is usually from younger cattle and has more fat marbling. To receive a USDA grading on beef, manufacturers must pay for a trained inspector to grade the beef at the slaughterhouse. Once the beef is graded, the manufacturer must comply with labeling requirements set by the Food Safety and Inspection Service. Consumers can find the USDA grading on the package label. There are eight grades of beef designated by the USDA, only the top five of which are usually sold to consumers. Lower grades are most often used for processing and use in canned goods.

Some air masses are very dry and little cloud develops. Maritime air has a high moisture content and cloud, precipitation and fog can be expected. Even if the air is moist, condensation and cloud formation occur only if the temperature is lowered. The cooling processes that contribute to condensation and the formation of clouds are (1) contact with a surface cooling by radiation, (2) advection over a colder surface and (3) expansion brought about by rifling. It follows, therefore, that cloud formation within an air mass is not uniform. Clouds may form, for example, in an area where the air is undergoing orographic lift even though the rest of the air mass is clear. Stability of the air is of prime importance. In stable air, layer cloud and poor visibility are common. Good visibility and cumulus cloud are common in unstable air."

Organisms known to cause disease are bacteria, fungi, nematodes, viruses, phytoplasmas and parasitic seed plants. Examples of environmental disorders are air pollution, poor soil, excessive heat, low or excessive nutrition, and drought. When organisms cause disease, it is usually due to a parasitic relationship with a host plant. The parasite, or causal organism, is called a pathogen. The interaction between host and pathogen results in disease. This discussion is limited to diseases where a pathogen is involved. Most plant problems arising from environmental conditions are covered under such topics as fertilization, water management and other cultural procedures. Prevention is the best approach to plant disease control when using either chemical or non-chemical (organic) methods."

Nelson Tropical Cyclones (Hurricanes)Fall 2014This document last updated on 19-Aug-2014Before discussing the science of tropical cyclones (hurricanes as they are called when in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific oceans), we need to first understand something about atmospheric circulation in the lower part of the atmosphere (troposphere). Atmospheric Circulation The troposphere undergoes circulation because of convection. Convection is a mode of heat transfer wherin the heat moves with the material. Warm air, becuase it is less dense than cooler air, rises and cold air sinks back toward the surface. Convection in the atmosphere is mainly the result of the fact that more of the Sun's heat energy is received by parts of the Earth near the Equator than at the poles. Thus air at the equator is heated reducing its the density. Lower density causes the air to rise. At the top of the troposphere this air spreads toward the poles. If the Earth were not rotating, this would result in a convection cell, with warm moist air rising at the equator, spreading toward the poles along the top of the troposphere, cooling as it moves poleward, then descending at the poles, as shown in the diagram above."

This definition is patently incorrect because heat is not a quantity, but rather a process of energy transfer. The correct definition of an adiabatic process is one in which the system does not exchange energy with its surroundings by virtue of the temperature difference between them. In this regard, the term surroundings refers to the immediate environment of the air parcel (which of course has no defined boundaries but rather is a concept). In contrast, a diabatic process is one in which energy is added to or removed from the system (e.g., by radiation, latent heating due to phase change, turbulent mixing). I prefer to think of adiabatic processes as non-diabatic processes. A reversible process is one in which the system can be returned exactly to its original state after having passed through various other states. Otherwise, the process is said to be irreversible. While real atmospheric processes are neither perfectly adiabatic nor reversible, these two concepts are important in developing a fundamental understanding of thermodynamics."

"text": "[-- MAIN HOME --] [-- ALL HABYHINTS --] [-- FACEBOOK PAGE --]AN ADIABATIC VERSUS A DIABATIC PROCESSMETEOROLOGIST JEFF HABYAn ADIABATIC process deals with the changing temperature of a parcel of air due to the air rising adiabatically or sinking adiabatically. An adiabatic process assumes no heat, mass or momentum pass across the air parcel boundary. The DIABATIC process on the other hand is any temperature change of air not related to its adiabatic vertical displacement. Air that rises will cool adiabatically. Air that sinks will warm adiabatically. Diabatic temperature changes on the other hand can occur in the form of diabatic heating or diabatic cooling. The prime contributor to diabatic heating is the sun. Warm soils (via sun's radiation) can also produce diabatic heating. The sun's energy warms the earth's surface and thus warms parcels of air near the surface even though they are not rising or sinking. The atmosphere absorbs some of the sun's energy before it gets to the surface."

S. and How They Are Determined By Bethany Moncel Updated 12/06/17Share Pin Email Image Source / Getty Images The beef grading system developed by the United States Department of Agriculture is a voluntary grading system based on the meat's maturity and level of fat marbling. These two factors are indicators of the beef’s tenderness. Beef that is given a higher grade is usually from younger cattle and has more fat marbling. To receive a USDA grading on beef, manufacturers must pay for a trained inspector to grade the beef at the slaughterhouse. Once the beef is graded, the manufacturer must comply with labeling requirements set by the Food Safety and Inspection Service. Consumers can find the USDA grading on the package label. There are eight grades of beef designated by the USDA, only the top five of which are usually sold to consumers. Lower grades are most often used for processing and use in canned goods. USDA Beef Grades Here are the eight USDA grades of beef, where they are found, their uses and recommended cooking methods. U. S. Prime – This is the highest grade of beef with the most fat marbling."

Nelson The Ocean-Atmosphere System This document last updated on 14-Nov-2016The Ocean-Atmosphere System The oceans and the atmosphere are the two large reservoirs of water in the Earth's hydrologic cycle. The two systems are complexly linked to one another and are responsible for Earth's weather and climate. The oceans help to regulate temperature in the lower part of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is in large part responsible for the circulation of ocean water through waves and currents. In this section we first look at how the atmosphere controls weather and climate, and we will explore some the introductory material necessary to understand our upcoming lectures on severe weather. Weather and Climate Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. It refers to such conditions of the local atmosphere as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity (the amount of water contained in the atmosphere), precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, & hail), and wind velocity. Because the amount of heat in the atmosphere varies with location above the Earth's surface, and because differing amounts of heat in different parts of the atmosphere control atmospheric circulation, the atmosphere is in constant motion. Thus, weather is continually changing in a complex and dynamic manner."

In Swedish, for instance, the idiom reta gallfeber på någon ('tease someone into a state of bile-fever') means making someone very angry. Today, the knowledge of what a bile-fever is, is lost on the majority of the Swedish speakers – but the origins of this, and many other similar expressions, can be found in the Hippocratic Humoral System. As we shall see, similar systems, and similar expressions, can be found in various languages and cultures across the globe – and it is the aim of this introduction to show the striking similarities and fascinating differences among these systems. What is a Humoral System? Humoral comes ultimately from Latin hūmōrālis; moisture, bodily fluid. In English the term itself remains as indicating an emotional state - one can be in a good humor or in a bad humor. In Swedish, similary, one can be på glatt humör (in a good temper) or på dåligt humör (in a bad temper). The expression han har ett riktigt humör (he has a real humör) is best translated into English as he has a real temper: where temper, of course, in connected etymologically to temperature. These expressions entered the European languages together with the Greek humoral theory of medicine - often called the Hippocratic Humoral Theory, because its first known proponent was Hippocrates (ca."

"text": "Did You Know? The eye of the hurricane i.e., the center can be as huge as 320 km. The weather in the eye is usually calm with low-speed winds. Hurricanes are the most destructive natural disasters; they are very powerful and violent storms, often associated with strong winds and heavy rains. A storm is classified as a hurricane when the speed of wind reaches 74 miles (119 kilometers) per hour. Hurricane storms usually start over warm seas (near the equator) and are accompanied by fierce winds, flash floods, mudslides, and huge waves. Hurricanes are assigned with different names, depending upon the area where they have occurred. For example: storms are called hurricanes if they start over the Caribbean Sea, the Northeast Pacific Ocean, and the North Atlantic Ocean, whereas, storms are called tropical cyclones if they occur in the Indian Ocean or near Australia. But what exactly leads to the formation of a hurricane? There are two main factors that are responsible for causing hurricane storms, viz."

Rain What causes it to rain? A brief explanation of the four main reasons why rain occurs Introduction For most areas of the world, rain is so common that few people stop to think about it. Why does it rain? Does all rainfall have the same causes? For those of us living in England, rain is a common subject of discussion and debate. However this essay covers different types of rain from around the world. Briefly, rain occurs when moist air rises and cools. The cooling causes the moisture to condense and fall as rain. There are four different mechanisms that cause air to rise and each one gives a different type of rain with its own distinct type of cloud and properties."
